FULL SHOW: 9-11 petition; Changes at CNBC. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: This is The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: All right, hang on. We're not really ready yet. We
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: have a little studio crisis here. All right, I think
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: we're all set. So, yeah, we couldn't get the studio
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: out of here. This is it. I used a separate
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: studio from everybody else, and... Whatever happens on the weekend here,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: sometimes you come in and it's all screwed up. So
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: we've got everything. Everything sounds good now. I can hear myself.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: We've got a lot to get to. We'll get to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Maria Bartiromo. What the hell happened there? We'll get to Iran.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: What's going on there? We'll get to Canada. The big
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: battle with Canada. Now, if you watch MSNBC all morning, it's...
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: This terrible fight with Canada, how it's affecting Americans. Well,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: if your house is buying bombardier jets, it might affect you.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: But otherwise, I don't really think it's happening. You really
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: don't buy much of anything from Canada. And it's just
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: going to be a little, a totally unnoticeable thing. It's
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: like when you watch CNN or MSNBC. you'll see this
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: big dramatic, the Iran war. It's not really a war.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, there was a war a few months ago
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: for a couple of weeks, but this is just little skirmishes,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: occasional firing a missile here, and they wouldn't call this
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a war. I don't know what the hell you'd call it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: It's a weird situation, but it's not, you know, and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: if you look at these studies, focus group surveys, most
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Americans paying absolutely no attention to this Boy, you see
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: so much false reporting all the time. Here's a great example.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: President Trump is not coming to Ground Zero for 9-11.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: And you remember the New York Times was the first
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to report the reason he's not coming is they won't
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: let him speak. So he's decided not to come. Well,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: that's a hell of a story. Now it turns out
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: it's the fakest news ever from the New York Times
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: from this idiot Maggie Haberman who just makes up crap
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: all the time. Now, they don't have speeches at the
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: 9-11 ceremony. And Donald Trump has gone to that ceremony
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: dozens of times. He knows there's no such thing as speeches.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Nobody speaks. Only the family speaks. The families speak and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: they read the names. No politicians speak there. They used
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: to do it the first couple of years. I think
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: it was about 2010, they decided no politicians will ever
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: speak here again on 9-11. So he knew that. Just
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: totally fake, ridiculous story. You know, he was going to
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: close the Kennedy Center for two years, and all of
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the fake news, the networks and CNN and MSNBC said,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: he's claiming it needs to be rebuilt. He just wants
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: to rebuild. He's claiming there's nothing wrong with the Kennedy Center. Well,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Over the weekend, Friday night, it rained hard in Washington, D.C.,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: and part of the ceiling collapsed in the Kennedy Center.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: As we told you last week, the big problem with
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the Kennedy Center, the reason it's so horribly damaged inside,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: it's what they call water intrusion. The way it was
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: built through the years, they just kept adding on and
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: adding on and adding on, and all the pipes weren't
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: attached seamlessly, so there have been so many leaks and
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: pipe bursts that the whole thing is crumbling mold. The whole,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: it's one of these situations where you got to literally
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: gut the whole place and start over. But when he
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: said that, you know, the media telling you he's lying,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: he's claiming that, well, a big chunk of the ceiling collapsed.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Luckily it was closed and nobody was there. And where
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the ceiling fell is right in the lobby where everybody
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: would be walking in and out. So you would have
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: had a lot of injury or, Who knows what? But
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: look at my Twitter. You'll see a picture of a
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: big hole in the ceiling. It just collapsed from the rain. Luckily, again,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: as I say, it was closed. No one was injured.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: In Russia, Putin had meetings with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: These are the president's two chief negotiators. Now, some argue,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: you know, you should have more foreign policy guys do
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: these negotiations, not these New York real estate guys. What
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: do they know about... foreign leaders, foreign policy. Well, uh,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Kissinger used to tell Trump, don't use the state department.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Don't use these foreign policy guys. And you used to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: tell them these idiots with their briefing books, don't know
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: a damn thing. So, and it's true. They're just bureaucrats.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, these guys are, they may just be New
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: York real estate guys, but they're doing billion dollar deals. They're, uh,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you know, they're getting things done. They can't, uh, Do
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: what State Department guys do. Take 14 years to negotiate something.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: They got to do it in a couple of days.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: So they were over there negotiating with Putin, which is
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: like negotiating with Iran. No matter what agreement you get,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: nobody's going to stick to it. So I don't know
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: what the point is. You know, the difference with these guys,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: these guys are business negotiators and you're negotiating with another
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: business that has to make money. So they basically got
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: to follow through. But if you're Iran or you're Putin,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you're just nuts. You're a lunatic, a violent, crazy lunatic.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: You don't have to follow any agreement. But Witkoff doing
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: a few shows to talk about these negotiations. Can we
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: get the next gen? Let's try it now. Witkoff talking
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: about these negotiations. No, it's still. Let me see. Can
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: we do it now? Nope, no audio. Sorry. Studio completely
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: messed up by whoever was here on the weekends. Let
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: me know if you ever get it. So what was
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the point of all this? Oh, so Witkoff and Kushner
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: coming back.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: You know, the other problem with Putin is approval ratings.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: You see this? Approval ratings have sunk so low. Now,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: if you're a politician in this country, that could be
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: a problem. That could be a big problem. If you're Putin,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. Anybody runs against you, just shoot him.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: You just kill him. It's a different election system over there.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: So you really don't have to worry too much about
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: approval ratings. But they think he might be looking for
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: a way out of Ukraine. He's getting killed and slaughtered
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: in Ukraine. Nobody ever thought they'd live to see this.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: But.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: You got to give Zelensky, Ukraine credit. They really turned
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: things around. They learned how to build missiles. They learned
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: how to build drones. They built their own factories. They're
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: turning them out like crazy. They have, you know, Russia
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be the superpower. Ukraine has a lot
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: more missiles, a lot more firepower and a lot more drones.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: And they've been pushing Russia back, not just holding them,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: but pushing them back. They've killed, I think, something like
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: 100,000 Russian soldiers in the last couple of months. So
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Putin's got a real problem. So that's why they're over
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: there negotiating now. They just think maybe he's looking for
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: an exit ramp from this mess. Now, of course, he
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: would start up again in a year or two. But
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: we'll see if they come through with anything. Maria Bartiromo,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: what the hell happened there? Well, it's been a rocky relationship,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Maria Bartiromo and Putin. Fox, and before that with CNBC,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: you know, she ended up leaving there. Now, sometimes she
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: gets into a little too much controversy, you know, like election, this,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: remember with Dominion, election tamper, she jumped into that a
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: little too much. There was an incident a couple of
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: months ago where Kevin O'Leary was on, making all kinds
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: of claims about China, and then Fox had to issue
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: 12 different apologies, so it She was always pushing the
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: envelope a little too much on certain things. And, you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: she didn't have the highest ratings in the world. In fact,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the show averaged about 120,000 viewers. That's not a lot.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: You know, there's other shows on the network that do much,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: much more than that. So it was a tricky situation.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: So she's now being accused of, the word is that
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: she leaked out memos to the White House. And that
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: she leaked them to Peter Navarro, who's a very nice guy.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: But that's the last guy I'd pick to keep a
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: secret about anything. That's the last guy I'd... If I
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: had to pick somebody to be really discreet, I don't
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: think he'd be my first choice. So apparently word got
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: out she's not there anymore. But Fox Business doing very, very,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: very well. Just crushing CNBC around the clock. Big shows there.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Varney does real well. All the evening edit is getting
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: big numbers now. And the biggest show of all in
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the history of business television, Kudlow, is just killing it
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: every day. So they're doing better than ever. Actually, I'll
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: be on Kudlow later today. Four to five on the
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Fox Business Network. Mamdani, well, 9-11 ceremonies are Friday. He's
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: planning to go. It seemed like.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: It was just not appropriate to have him there. I mean,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: this vicious anti-Semite, this guy who seems to always be
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: supporting terrorists or terrorist lawyers or anybody on that side.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: The families don't want him there. They had a petition
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: to keep him out. Hundred thousand signatures now. still going. Why? Well,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: does he feel it's just the right thing to do
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: to be there, that it's important for the mayor to
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: be there? No, I don't think that's it. Late last week,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: there was a ceremony where he signed a bill. I
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: forget what that, the bill was something to do with 9-11.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: increasing security, increasing terrorist watch, increasing terrorist tests, something like that.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: He signs the bill, and there's about 42 people standing there. And,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: you know, when the president signs a bill, he uses
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: a few different pens, and then he hands the pens
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: to certain people because it's a great souvenir of the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: president signing that bill. Now, for Mamdani to think anybody
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: wants a pen from him. You ever see those Trump pens?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: The most beautiful pens. He had them specially made with
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: the White House logo, with the president's signature. Unbelievable. So
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: people display that. They build a case for it. They
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: show it to people. Look at this. This is the
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: president of the United States. This is the pen he
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: signed the big, beautiful bill with. It's very impressive. But
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: could you picture anybody holding up a crappy little pen saying, hey,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: this was Mom Donnie's pen. What an ego on this
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: guy to think anybody would want a pen from him
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: signing a bill. But the key to this is there's
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: like 42 people standing there. He could hand it to
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the police commissioner. Well, that would have been the most
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: appropriate one. He could hand it to somebody. But he
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: does hand it to the police commissioner. He says, pass
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: it on to him. And he points to the lawyer
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: for the terrorists. The 9-11 Al-Qaeda type terrorists, he's the lawyer.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: He defended a few of these Al-Qaeda guys. He hands
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the pen to him, which indicates this is all an
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: attack on us. He's on the other side when it
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: comes to 9-11. He's against the families. That's why he's going,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: just to cause trouble. Now, I wouldn't have said this
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: last week, but when he handed the pen, you got
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: all these people standing there you give that pen to.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: He gives it to the terrorist representative. What does that
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: tell you? There you go. He really is on the
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: other side when it comes to 9-11. He feels they're
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: the victims of 9-11. He feels they were justified somehow.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Why else would you give it to their lawyer? And again, look,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the lawyer's not even standing next to him. It has
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: to be passed down because the lawyer's so far away.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Why would you look at all these people and say,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: give it to him, the 9-11 terrorist Al-Qaeda lawyer. Give
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: it to him. That tells you what he's really, really
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: up to. Oh, we got the sound fixed. Steve Witkoff,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: back from meeting with Putin.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: We came to see President Putin first.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: We needed to hear where he stood. We had good concrete.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: We waited five minutes for that. Not that exciting. How
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: about Jared Kushner? You ever hear Kushner talk?
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: There is a pathway. There is a dialogue. And it's
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: a really hard problem. I mean, this is a war
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: that started before Putin. Obviously, President Trump took office, but
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: he sees this.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the guy you should send.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: You know, Putin's like a vicious, murderous, unbelievable world dictator, killer, murderer.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: And you send this guy to talk like this to him.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: It might not be the right guy. Might not be
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the right choice. Iran, well, there was a few. They
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: fired at a ship or two. I think two ships
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: they fired at. So we took out three of their ships,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: three big tankers. We just blew them right out of
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: the water. We were very nice about it, actually. Quite
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: nice about it. We actually broadcast with a big loudspeaker
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: a huge announcement to the tanker. They flew low over
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the tanker and said, get off the ship. Abandon your ship.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: It's about to be blown up. I assume they did
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: it in the right language so these people could understand it.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: But they told everybody, abandon the ship. It's about to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: be blown up. They waited a few minutes. And some
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: people did abandon the ship. And then they just blew
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: up three tankers. They let Iran know. anytime you hit
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: a ship, we're going to take out three of yours.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: And they'll keep increasing that ratio. You take out one,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: we'll take out 10, that kind of stuff. I don't
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: know if these lunatics care. But a tanker is a
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: couple million bucks. It might have had oil on it.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: That's another couple million. So if you take out three
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: of them, you probably cost them 12, 15 million bucks.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: And the good news is they think Iran has got
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: about two months left Before it totally collapses. They think
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: it has about two months of oil left. We've cut
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: off their... We use the Strait of Hormuz. We've got
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: tankers coming and going out of the Strait of Hormuz.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: In fact, we're doing about 8 million barrels a day
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: through there. We think some days it's up to maybe
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: 15 million. Pre-war, it was 20 million a day. But
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: we've cut off the Strait of Hormuz from Iran. We've
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: cut off their other routes to get oil in and out.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: And it's believed now they're down to just the last
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: two months of fuel. And when that goes, a lot
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: of things are going to happen. Right now, there are
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: gas lines that go for like 10 blocks in Iran.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Inflation is at 90%. Once they run out of fuel,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: things could change dramatically. Hey, we mentioned Maria Bartiromo. You
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: ever watch CNBC? Anybody watch that anymore? A couple of
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: great guys there. Joe Kernan's a great guy. And Rick Santelli, well,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: he announced he's retiring. Been there since 1999, 26 years. October,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: he'll retire. And look at this, Channel 4 at WNBC,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Sarah Wallace, the great investigative reporter, she's retiring. She didn't
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: know it, but they told her you're retiring. It's been
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: there 11 years. But remember, before that, she was at
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Channel 7 for like three decades. So she's been on
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: the air for many years in New York. She's very good.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: She was told she's decided to retire. She's not retiring.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: She's looking for a new outlet. She'll find one. She's
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: very good. WNBC General Manager Eric Lerner said, the move
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: was very difficult, but it was necessary after we looked
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: at our long-term financial planning, which means they're losing a
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: hell of a lot of money at Channel 4. You've
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: got to remember, when it comes to the local news,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: millions of people used to watch the 6 o'clock news.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Millions of people used to watch the 11 o'clock news.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: And if you were Roger Grimsby or Ernie Anastas or
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: those guys, you know, Warner Wolf back in the big
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: days of local news, you were getting paid a fortune.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: They were getting millions of dollars, these anchors. Well, now,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: everything's different. Nobody watches primetime. Nobody watches network TV. Nobody
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: watches local TV. I mean, they watch, but it's way,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: way down. You're lucky if you've got 200,000 viewers. So
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: it's like, One-tenth the viewers you used to have. And
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the salaries had to come down a lot. That's why
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: you see a lot of big anchors that all of
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: a sudden weren't there anymore. They're just not going to
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: pay anybody anymore. So they get rid of them. They
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: hire new, young, cheap anchors. Local TV dying. Network TV dying.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Radio actually not dying despite what you hear. More people
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: listen to the radio today than 20 years ago. Radio
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: listening at an all-time high. Even AM talk radio, 63
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: million people. Listen to AM Talk Radio every day. Anyway,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: we've got a lot to get to, so don't go away.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: It's 9 to noon now, three hours every day, 9
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: to noon every day. Hey, we'll get to the ballroom.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Interesting developments there and more. It's Mark Simone, 9 to
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: noon on 710WOR.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios, The Mark Simone Show.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I was about to say it's Monday. It's Tuesday. Yeah,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: don't forget it's Tuesday today. And it's after Labor Day. Now,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: this is a scary time for people here in New
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: York because as soon as it's Labor Day, it's a
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: day that people think we're all going to be in
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: igloos and floating on an iceberg or something. It's still
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: summer for a couple of weeks. Look at this. They
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: get these messages. How was your summer? It's not over yet.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Summer goes for like another two weeks. three weeks. I
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: don't know if I'll find the date, but it's still summer.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: It's going to be in the eighties today. It's going
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: to be sunny. It's going to be sunny all week.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: It's going to be eighties. It's still summer. And you're
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: not a kid. You're not that you don't have to
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: go back to school. What are you? Nothing changes. I mean,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: you got a few days off Labor Day weekend, but
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: it's still summer. Still fine. Uh, we got her.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: We're getting the studio repaired from, uh, Whatever happened here
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: over the weekend, we got sound now. We got audio.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I was talking about Mamdani for his 9-11 nonsense. Mamdani
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: handing the pen to the terrorist lawyer to honor this guy,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: of all people. But he's going to the 9-11 ceremony.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Here he is.
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: I'm proud to be the mayor of this city. I
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: love this city. I love this country. And what I
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: want this week to be a focus on is on
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: the families whose loved ones were stolen from them 25
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: years ago in the horrific act of terror of September 11th.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: And a focus also on the first responders who did
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: everything they could to this city and to the people
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: who came together to try and help their fellow New Yorkers.
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: And so in the days to come, my focus will
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: be on attending events that memorializes that incredible courage. And
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: I will be there on Friday at the memorial just
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: as I was last year.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Now you might be saying, what's all that noise? Was
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: that recorded at the parade? That's fighting and gunfire and
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: stuff in the background at that parade. But yeah, he's
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: there to honor the families. Now, we know from him
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: handing the pen to the terrorist lawyer that the last
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: thing on earth he really wants to do is honor
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: the families. Because why didn't he invite some of the
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: families to the signing of this 9-11 legislation? Why did
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: he hand the pen to the terrorist lawyer? Well, that's easy.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: sending a signal to his base. Now, Rudy Giuliani, we
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: heard from him. He responds.
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: He doesn't agree that September 11 was an Islamic terrorist
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: attack on the United States of America, one that is
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: in terms of a war or effort continuing today and
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: maybe even worse today. So having lost friends there and
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: being very close to many of the families there, It
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: offends me that he's coming.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it offends everybody. I mean, the last guy, if
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: you're having the Yankee parade, you don't invite the manager
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: of the Red Sox there. I mean, it just doesn't
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: make any sense. Who's this? Nicole Meliotakis.
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: You know, when he pals around with people like Hassan Piker,
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: who said that America.
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: 9-11.
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: Of course these families don't want to see him there.
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: They're offended and rightfully so. I think what I would
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: like to do is just take away the spotlight from
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: him because this day is not about him in any way.
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: Yes, he's the mayor.
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: Yes, he will be there. But the day is not
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: about him.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Now, knowing this radical, he's got something planned for Friday.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: He's not just going to come stand there. I mean,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: look at the signing ceremony. He could have just signed
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: it and announced it, that's it. If he thinks that
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: anybody wants a pen that he used, if he thinks
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: that's a souvenir, he could have handed it to the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: police commissioner. The fact that he gave it to the
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: terrorist lawyer, that's a deliberate, provocative act, which means knowing this,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I'd say this guy's got something planned for Friday. He's
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: going to pull some kind of crap on Friday. Who
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: knows who he'll bring with him? Who knows what'll happen?
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be good. on friday so we'll
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: see uh now uh where was oh hey you want
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: to see uh talk about politicians out of touch you
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: ever watch this chris murphy on those sunday shows this
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: guy just lies and lies and lies makes the most
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: outrageous claims and it's these corrupt sunday shows where they
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: don't correct anything he says they just let him spew
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: all this nonsense so anybody's a typical uh like woke elitist,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: totally out of touch with people. So he is, I
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: guess he's running for re-election. He has announced, and he's
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: been doing it all weekend, a walking tour where he
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: walks through Connecticut. He walks 20 miles a day. And
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: he said the reason he is walking is to meet voters,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: to hear what they think, to see what their concerns are.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: You're supposed to do this every day. You're not supposed
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: to have to go out and do this as a
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: special project. Let's meet some actual citizens and find out
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: how they actually feel, what they really think. You're supposed
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: to know this. You're supposed to do this every day.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Your daily life should be encountering normal people. But this
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: is what these elitists do, these woke, woke left-wing kooks.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: They all hang around with each other. They've never actually
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: been around normal people. They've never actually walked into a
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Costco or a Wawa. They've never actually encountered normal Americans.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: So That's his special project. He's going out to actually
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: meet normal people to talk to them, see what they think.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: And you can talk to him all you want, but
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: he's going to, you know, forget it and wipe it
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: all out of his head as soon as he gets home. Anyway,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: we've got a lot to get to. We'll take some
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: calls in a few minutes. It's Mark Simone here, 9
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: to noon. 9 to noon, three hours every day now
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: on 710WOR.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show, now 9 till noon weekdays on 710WOR.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. Hey,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: you know, today's Tuesday. Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, is the midterm convention,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: the Republican midterm convention. It'll be two days in Texas, Wednesday, tomorrow,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: and Thursday. And it's a brilliant idea. President Trump came
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: up with it. I don't know why somebody didn't think
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: of this before. Presidential year, you have the big convention.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Gets a lot of attention. Everybody gets to speak. And
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: it's basically a big pep rally for the Republicans or
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: the Democrats. So it's midterm elections. It's an off-year election.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: But President Trump came up with the idea, let's do
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: a midterm convention. He'll come and make a big, enormous speech.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: And then they got a whole bunch of speakers. And
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: then at the end, final day, final night, J.D. Vance
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: will speak. People that run it asked me if I
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: wanted to broadcast live from there. And, of course, I
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: immediately said no. Spent two days listening to politicians make speeches. Now,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: that's the only problem with this convention. It's a great idea.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know who's going to actually show it. Obviously,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: they're not going to run it on MSNBC or CNN or,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: you know, the networks. And even if you're Fox, you got, like, big,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: high-rated shows. You're not going to preempt them to do
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: these speeches. Maybe President Trump's speech. But here's the list
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: of speakers. Imagine broadcasting live to get these speeches. Mike Rogers,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Ken Paxton, Caroline Leavitt will speak. All right, that one
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: might be good. Todd Blanch. And basically, it's just a
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: bunch of senators. It's Senator Ron Phillips, Senator John Fredericks.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: It's a million senators you've never heard of. So it'll
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: go on for two days. And again, it's a great idea.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I just don't know. In the world today, I don't
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: know who will actually broadcast this and show this, but
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: a million clips will come out of it, and maybe
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: that'll help. And what the president wants to do here
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: is nationalize this election. So if you've got a local
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Senate race in Michigan, a local Senate race somewhere, the
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: problem is off-year election, no presidential election, so you get
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: very low voter turnout. So he wants to make this
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: as if he were on the ballot, as if it's
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: a vote for him or against him. to increase turnout
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: among Republicans. So maybe, just maybe, that'll work. Now, you're
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: going to see all these fake news, network news. There's
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: approval ratings. The president's approval ratings are low. Look how
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: low they are. They're so low. They forget to tell you.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: They're double what the Democrats are. Democrats have an approval
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: rating way below Trump. In fact, Democrats are now breaking
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: the all-time record for low approval ratings. They always leave
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: that part out of the story. And it's Trump. You
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: know this guy. He'll always pull a rabbit out of
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: his hat. So between now and November, he'll pull something off. Hey,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: let's take some calls. Let's go to Jeffrey in New Hampshire. Jeffrey,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: Mark, awesome show.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: I'm addicted to the show. Now, Mayor Mami Kami of
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: New York.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Now, this sounds like the Buchanan guy. There's no way
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: a guy calls you from New Hampshire.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Where are you actually from? This is Steve from Manhattan.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: You can't call with that accent and try to claim
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you're from New Hampshire.
• 27:15
  Speaker 11: I'm from New Hampshire.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: What town are you in in New Hampshire?
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: Manchester.
• 27:21
  Speaker 12: Come on.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Don't give me the third degree.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Tell me a town next to Manchester.
• 27:26
  Speaker 11: Oh, come on, man. What are you doing?
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: He always calls with a different name, a different state.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how are you doing?
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: Good.
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: You're like the ace detective.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Well, you don't have to be Colombo on that one.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: You take a call from New Hampshire and go, yo,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: how are you? They're not a guy from New Hampshire.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Down south.
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: I see the president is busting chops again, Mark, by
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: calling New Mexico New America. which I thought was amusing.
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: And I think I read somewhere he's thinking of changing
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: the name of the Grand Tetons after Dolly Parton.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, there you go. Wait a minute. Hang on here. So.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: But I'm... Yeah.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: No, it's just he likes to shake things up. You know,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: you ever go to the zoo and you're looking through
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: the cage, you're looking at the big tiger, and there's
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: always some bratty kid who, like, has to rattle the cage.
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Throw something at the kid.
• 28:27
  Speaker 12: Yeah, he's the quintessential New Yorker.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: He's a BB.
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: As my father used to say, you know, about guys
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: like that. Something buster.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: And that's what makes him great.
• 28:35
  Speaker 12: That's what makes.
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: Exactly.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: And that's, you know, because it works, and he understands that.
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: And it's sort of good nature, you know, in many ways, but...
• 28:49
  Speaker 10: You have to be accepting of it. That's what the
• 28:51
  Speaker 10: problem with some of these people who are going to
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: be no-shows for the convention are going to create that situation.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: Where, oh, he's too much.
• 29:01
  Speaker 10: And it's like, no, go to the convention. Support it
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: every way you can.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: You want to win.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. All right, Mike. Good call. Thanks for calling. Yeah,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: he just likes to cause a little trouble now and then.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: He's the Howard Stern president. You got to remember, he
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: comes from the world of Howard Stern, Imus, that kind
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: of stuff. You always rattle the cage, start a little trouble,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: push the envelope. That's just the way he is. You're
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: not supposed to do that when you're president. But, hey,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: he's had more success in a lot of areas than
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: all those professional politician presidents. So let him do it.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: That's what he does. You know, guys like that, when
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: they see a good target, I think that's the problem
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: with Canada. They just look like good targets, those leaders
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: of Canada. They just look like these pompous stuffed shirts.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: And when Trump sees that, he loves to tweak them.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Pat in Westchester. Pat, how are you doing?
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Very well, Mark.
• 29:54
  Speaker 13: How about yourself?
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 29:56
  Speaker 13: Now, getting back to Maria Bartiromo, do you think her
• 29:59
  Speaker 13: good looks contributed a lot to her career success?
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: No. No, she was a very fine reporter, very good reporter. Remember,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: she was on the Wall Street stock exchange floor originally
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: as a reporter. No, she knows her stuff backwards.
• 30:12
  Speaker 13: But she used to be referred to as Money Honey.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because when you have a lot of great top
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: business reporters and one of them looks real good, you
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: make up a nickname like that.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: No, you couldn't do that today. Back then, that was
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: 30 years ago, whatever that was. You could call it
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: the Money Honey. Now you'd be canceled for treating a
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: woman like an object like that.
• 30:31
  Speaker 13: And my other question would be, do you think any
• 30:34
  Speaker 13: of these other business hosts are sitting by their phone
• 30:39
  Speaker 13: waiting for a call maybe to replace her?
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: No.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, to replace her?
• 30:44
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be rotating hosts. She does the
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: morning show, Fox Business, so that'll be rotating hosts. And
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: then what else does she do? She does the Sunday
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: show on Fox News.
• 30:56
  Speaker 13: Yeah, she used to do like that version of Wall
• 30:59
  Speaker 13: Street Week.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:01
  Speaker 13: So she actually, you know, she.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Was a hard worker.
• 31:04
  Speaker 13: I wonder if when they confronted her on this thing,
• 31:07
  Speaker 13: you know, she used to work long hours and get
• 31:09
  Speaker 13: there 4 o'clock in the morning and everything like that.
• 31:11
  Speaker 13: I wonder if she just said, ah, that's fine with me.
• 31:13
  Speaker 13: You know, let's take it and walk away.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I hate to break it to you. She's a
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: very hard worker, but much of the time she was
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: doing the show from the Hamptons. Oh. Okay. The commute
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: was from the living room.
• 31:26
  Speaker 13: I know she married very well.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, she does very well. She's a very nice
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: person in real life.

• 31:42
  Speaker 2: she can go. No, she's a very, very, very good
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: business reporter. On the air, sometimes she's getting a little
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: too much controversy. These little conspiracy theory type stuff. Dominion,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: all those kind of things. She was always going a
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: little too far in that kind of stuff. Rick Santelli
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: is stepping down from CNBC. CNBC is a very left-wing,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: very liberal, very biased place, except for Joe Kern. And
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Rick Santelli, he would broadcast from Chicago. You see, that's
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: the thing. He's not in the swamp. He's not in

• 33:50
  Speaker 2: We'll get to crazy little Harry and Megan and a
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: whole lot more. Hey, Lindsay Clancy's lawyer. I actually had
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: intended to get through the whole three hours without ever
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: mentioning Lindsay Clancy, but there's breaking news. Lindsay Clancy's lawyer
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: has now asked President Trump to pardon his client. And
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: he did this in a very prestigious format, a forum.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Good morning, America. If he thinks the president's going to
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: be watching Good Morning America, you're crazy. I think he's
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: watching Fox and Friends. He should have gone on there
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: and done it. But he's on Good Morning America, home
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: of little George Snuffleopoulos. So he's asking the president to
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: pardon Lindsay Clancy. He said, Mr. President, I hope you
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: would consider this young lady the type of person she
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: is and what she's been through. I don't know the woman,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: but she just murdered her own children, so that's what
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: she's been through. And consider a pardon. Now, what is
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: the argument? I don't follow this case that closely. It's
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: that because she was suffering from this mental whatever, and
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: the treatment, the drugs, everything has caused her to murder
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: her own children. I don't know. Don't expect a pardon here.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: The lawyer, it seems like a good lawyer. You know,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: he's 75 years old. He looks like old and distinguished.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: This is the kind of lawyer you'll want if you're
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Lindsay Clancy because she murdered her children. Murdered her three children.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: One is five, one is three. One was a baby,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: eight months. She murdered her three children. I mean, you're
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: the most awful villain in the world. So you can't
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: come in with a hotshot young lawyer. You can't come
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: in with a, With a Michael Avenatti or something like that.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: You need an old, old, old, distinguished old guy. And
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: she's in New Hampshire. This guy looks like an old,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: old New Hampshire attorney. Like an old, distinguished man. You
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: could picture this guy. Remember the original DA on Law
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: and Order? What was his name? Adam. Remember the DA?
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Just look at this wise old man. So you need
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: a lawyer that looks like that. This guy is perfect.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: He's on Good Morning America. asking for a presidential pardon, which,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: of course, he will not get. Hey, Trump, the Trump ballroom,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: President Trump has been, he loves to build. Now, you've
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: got to remember, one reason for all these building projects, yeah,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's some ego involved, but it's good ego,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: and there's healthy ego, and there's bad ego. You know,
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: if you're sticking your name on maps or something, that's
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: bad ego, but if you're One of the great builders
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: in the world, and you happen to be in the
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: White House, and you're walking around looking at stuff. I've
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: known a lot of these great builders, and that's what
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: they do. Wherever you go, you walk into some building,
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: they start, oh, look at that. That could be fixed,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: and that should be changed. Look at that. And that
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: could be, they just want to correct everything. And he's
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: one of the great builders in the world. So when
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: he walked into the White House and looked around, the
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: first term he didn't really do much, but he had
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: four years off to think about it and when he
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: came back the second term he was ready to go
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: there's an entrance that everybody they call it the palm
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: court i don't know why they call it that it's
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: an entrance uh where all the when the world leaders
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: come to visit the distinguished visitors they what you see
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: them walk through that door well there's this little lobby
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: there it's called the palm court and it looked like
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: crap it was like linoleum floors and the walls were
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: peeling so It's the first thing he decided to redo.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: He put in beautiful marble, make it look elegant, really formal, elegant.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: So he really fixed that up. The Oval Office needed
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: some work now. All right, it's not my taste. It
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: could use more paintings. Not 600. He's covered every inch
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: of every wall with paintings. All right, it's a little
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: too much. And it could use some gold trim. Not
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: every inch of them. There's way too much gold. When
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: the next president comes in, he's going to have to
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: take down those paintings. The gold is very expensive. It's
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: not just gold paint. I mean, they bring in a
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: real gold guy to put that gold up. It's a
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: little too much gold. I mean, you've got to wear
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: sunglasses when you're in there. So they're going to have
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: to take down some of that. But most of the improvements.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: He put in this heliport, which opened this weekend. And
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: of course the networks ridiculed him and made fun of him,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: but it turns out there's good reason to put that
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: heliport in at the white house. You know, the big,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: it's not a regular helicopter. It's an enormous military helicopter,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: much bigger than a regular helicopter. So when you see
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: it land on the grass, president walks down the South lawn,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: gets in the helicopter, takes off. And then it comes back,
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: gets out of the helicopter, walks out the South one.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: It was just landing on the grass and it was ridiculous. Well,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: And the president noticed, you probably never noticed this. It
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't really just land on the grass. It has four
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: big sets of tires and they would put down these
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: four metal plates, these big metal plates, huge metal plates.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: You don't really see them. They're in the grass. And
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: that's why when it landed, it always landed slow and weird.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: like it kind of jiggled a little because the pilot
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: had to aim and hit those metal plates with the
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: tires because if he hit the grass he'd ruin the
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: grass and apparently the exhaust out of that helicopter would
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: just burn up the grass all the time this is
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: ridiculous having to put these metal plates down the pilot
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: can't just do a regular landing he has to come
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: down real slow jiggle around a little and try to
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: land on the metal plates so It was crazy. So
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: the president put in a heliport, state-of-the-art material. They made
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: it a heliport that could handle like a billion tons
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: or something. So it's beautiful. It's a brilliant addition. And
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: then when it comes to grand events at the White House,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: world leader, the president of China is there. You're going
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: to have a state dinner. That East Room of the
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: White House was quite beautiful, but it only holds like
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: a couple, 200 people or something. When it's the president
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: of China or a major event, And you're going to
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: have 1,000 people. They had to go outside and do
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: it in a tent on the grass. And it might
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: be raining. And half the year in Washington, it's winter.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: So you're out in this tent like you're at a
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: bar mitzvah in Long Island in a tent in somebody's backyard.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: It was crazy to bring a world leader there. And
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: when he became president, he started traveling to big state
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: dinners in other countries, in England. Remember, King Charles hosted them.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Did you see that room they were in? It was
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: the most palatial room. It looked like the Palace of Versailles.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: It was unbelievable. President of France, they got these incredible
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: palaces they hold their dinners in. And come here and
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: you're in a tent on the backyard and the lawn.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: It was ridiculous. So we need a big ballroom that
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: can do an event like that. And you're in luck
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: when you need this ballroom. And a lot of presidents
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: have talked about it. You're in luck. You got a
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: president who's a master builder. Let him build it. Now,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: the problem is, and of course, this will be part
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: of his legacy. He would like to leave some kind
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: of legacy. That ballroom that will be used forever would
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: be the legacy. But he knew these Democrats are so angry,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: they get so nuts, that if a Democratic president comes in,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: he's going to tear down the ballroom. He's going to
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: literally just tear it down and put the East Wing
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: back the way it was. And the Democrats would do that.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: So we find out now President Trump is out there
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: couple times a day supervising the building and another reason
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: he likes to do this he really enjoys construction now
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: we all hate this if you got to redo your
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: bathroom or you know got a leak and the wall's
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: going to get torn up and they got to redo
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: your wall it's a nightmare but for him and i've
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: seen this with other builders they love construction it's fun
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: it's relaxing it's You know, some presidents would relax by
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Obama would play basketball. He'd go outside and shoot basketball.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: He'd shoot hoops. And Eisenhower had a putting green put in.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: He'd go out and putt. That's relaxing for him. For Trump,
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: it's construction. That's what relaxes him. So at the end
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: of the day, he'd spend an hour with the construction.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: And he knows they're going to tear it down. So
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: it turns out they're not using regular material for the ballroom.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: It turns out, I didn't even know there was stuff
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: like this. He's building the ballroom so it can't be
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: torn down. I didn't know there's such a thing as
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: nuclear concrete. Nuclear concrete, you can't knock it down. It's
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: used mostly in nuclear power plants. It can withstand a
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: nuclear explosion. So I don't know how the hell they're
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: going to tear it down. There's also a super powerful
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: kind of steel that's welded together in a certain way. Uh,
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: apparently it says you could take a jackhammer and stand
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: there for two days, jackhammering it, and you wouldn't even
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: make a mark. So he's building this with nuclear concrete
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: and that special steel. Uh, it'd be impossible to take
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: it down. It will not be, uh, now the other
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: reason he's doing this, of course, uh, the bomb shelter
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: for the white house will be under there and it's
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: going to have all kinds of special military stuff under
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: the ballroom. So it's to protect that as well. Uh,
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: So it's about $ 400 million to build this. Now remember,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: $ 400 million is nothing for a government. They'll waste $ 12
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: billion without blinking on something. $ 400 million is pocket change.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: And again, it's going to be used forever. A lot
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: of donors are paying for this, although a lot of
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: donors don't want to pay for it because they're worried
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: that when the Democrats get in, if they take over
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: the House or the Senate, they'll hold hearings and go
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: after the donors. So a lot of people afraid to
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: be on that list of donors for this. But the
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: president loves it. Even his son saying he he tells
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: me sometimes like at 930 at night, he's going to
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: go over and check on the ballroom construction. He really
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: enjoys it. But it will it will be there forever.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: It's not going to come down. Hey, that awful little
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Megan and Prince Harry or whatever the hell he's I
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: don't know if he's a prince anymore. They're back in
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: England and they're hoping to they could get nothing going
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: here in the United States. They tried. They got a
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Netflix deal, a Spotify deal, and everything bombed. Everything was
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: a disaster. So for the last couple of years, they
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: were two out-of-work idiots. They couldn't do their taxes this
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: year because they couldn't get through the first question where
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: it said occupation. They didn't know what to put. They're
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: back in England figuring they'll get something going. They'll team
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: up again with the royal family. They'll become a part
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: of the royal family. They'll be royals. Well, it's not
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: going to work. It turns out King Charles, now he
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: could just ignore them and pay no attention to them,
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: but he's really gone after them. King Charles issued a letter.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: A letter was sent out to everybody in the British
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: government and, of course, leaked out to the press and
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: sent out to everybody important from King Charles saying that
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: they are not part of the royal family. They will
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: not be working royals. They will do no official engagements.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: It says they cannot use their titles. of his and
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: her Royal Highness. And he says right in the letter,
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: he really went out of his way to make this clear.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: He said, they are private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: The message confirmed, they have an agreement still in effect
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: that they are not working Royals. Additionally, the letter ruled
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: out the Sussexes taking a half in, half out status.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: In other words, the king making it clear They're not
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: half in, they're not half out. They are nothing to
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: do with the royal family, no connection. The letter added,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: any charitable work they do is a personal matter and
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: to be undertaken in their private capacity. The letter apparently
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: was also sent to Harry himself and to Meghan, to
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: everybody in the UK government, military, and all the Lord Lieutenants.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: Now that's a real attempt to embarrass them humiliate them,
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: and shut them down. That's from King Charles himself. So,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: expect them to hang around England for six months, maybe
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: the whole school year, and then they'll try another country.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: They tried the U.S., nothing happening for them. They're back
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: in England, nothing will happen there because the other thing
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: with this letter, since it was made so public, it'll
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: keep every business and broadcaster and every media person to
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: It's like a notice, stay the hell away from these people.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: So they're going to get nothing going there and expect
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: them to leave England at some point. So a total
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: disaster for these two. Hey, you know, in New York,
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: they got these right over there. They call that Billionaire's Row.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: These apartment buildings, there are 100 stories, 105 stories. I mean,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: there's a whole street of them. And the apartments go
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: for like 100 million, 200 million. And over there, there's
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: that one building where Ken Griffin bought an apartment, 230 million.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: They got apartments for 250 million. And people say, oh,
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: my God, who would spend 200 million for an apartment?
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: That's insane. Well, that's a bargain, actually. Look at this.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: In Monaco, in Monte Carlo, apartments are even more. And
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: they just opened a new building in Monte Carlo right
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: on the water. right in the harbor, Meriterra. That's the
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: hottest neighborhood in Monte Carlo in Monaco. And it's only
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: just going up now, but the apartments in this building
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: are going for up to $ 550 million. $ 550 million for
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: an apartment. There are going to be 130 apartments. And
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: you're saying, this is insane. I'll never get a solid
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: apartment for $ 550 million. Almost every apartment in a building
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: is already taken. It's not even built yet. You have
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: to put down a deposit of, I think it's 500,000 euros. Well,
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: that's not a bad deposit, 600,000. Oh, wait, wait, no, no,
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: that's not for the apartment. But there's a billion dollars
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: worth of yachts right in the harbor in front of
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: the building. So 550 million, that works out to 13,000
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: a square foot. I think that's the all-time world record. Now,
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: that's for an apartment there. Now, one reason a lot
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: of people go to Monaco is to become a citizen.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: It's not easy. It's like a very exclusive private club.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: You have to be voted in. It's like getting into
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: a co-op. They have to let you become a citizen.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: Because if you're a citizen, there's no taxes. A lot
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: of people love this. If you're an actual resident, you
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: don't pay any taxes. You have to put down a $ 600, 000.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: deposit just to become a citizen. It's one of the
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: safest places on earth in Monaco. There's one police officer
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: for every 70 residents. And they were the first place
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: to have cameras everywhere. There's not an inch of Monaco
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: that's not on camera. So it cuts down on the crime.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: But this new apartment building, it was the... The idea
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: came from Prince Albert. He wanted to do it. He
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: got some realtors to do it. Things tend to die
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: in Monte Carlo. Every few years, it starts to die out.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: At one time, it was dying completely. Onassis was in
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: charge then. So he said to Prince Rainier, you got
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: to marry a movie star. And that's when they got
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Princess Grace over there. And he married her. So this
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: is the latest scheme. Most expensive apartments in the world. Hey,
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: 800-321-0710.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: The Mark Simone Show.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Now 9 till noon weekdays.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: 710-W-O-R. That's right. 9 till noon every day. Anyway, let's
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: take some calls. Let's go to Frank in Phoenix. Frank,
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 50:28
  Speaker 12: Frank?
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 50:30
  Speaker 11: Can you back in July?
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: Hey, Frank, what's the temperature in Phoenix right now?
• 50:34
  Speaker 13: It's about a.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: I think call us back. Your line is cutting out. Yeah,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: I actually know it was like 100 yesterday. 100 in Phoenix.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Hal in Freeport. Hal, how are you doing?
• 50:47
  Speaker 12: Yeah, these big, noisy computers.
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: What do they call those factories?
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: You mean the data centers?
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Put them on the old ferry, the Staten Island ferries.
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: Put them on there.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Bring them out 10 miles.
• 51:03
  Speaker 12: Anchor them off.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: You don't really have to do that. You know, you
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: can just put them in remote areas. They don't make
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: as much noise as an airport does. An airport makes
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: even more noise. And an airport, you got LaGuardia right
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: in the middle of a residential area. You got Kennedy
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: in the middle of a residential area. You just put
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: them out somewhere. The noise is from the turbines, the
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: cooling systems. And the noise can travel pretty much half
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: a mile. And it can faintly be heard a mile away.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: The problem with those turbines, it's not just noise. It's
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: like a hum, like a vibrating kind of noise, you know,
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: like a train rattling going by. But they're basically just
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: enormous buildings with computers in them. They create lots of jobs.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: They power all your AI phones, data, everything. But they're
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: just noisy. Who's going to put them in remote areas?
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Frank is back. Frank in Phoenix, how are you doing?
• 51:56
  Speaker 12: Yes, can you hear me, Mark?
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Now you sound good.
• 51:58
  Speaker 11: Okay, Mark, back in July, the steel beam came through Scottsdale,
• 52:03
  Speaker 11: and I went down there. About 2.30, they were supposed
• 52:06
  Speaker 11: to start the proceeding, but it was 110.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: You're talking about, you mean the 9-11 steel beam?
• 52:12
  Speaker 12: Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 52:14
  Speaker 11: And I was getting ready to leave, and the guy says,
• 52:16
  Speaker 11: go in the museum. So I went over these two
• 52:19
  Speaker 11: massive trailers, and it was beautiful. There were six guys
• 52:22
  Speaker 11: in there. Five of them were retired firemen from New York.
• 52:26
  Speaker 11: I got to talk to all of them. The one
• 52:28
  Speaker 11: guy told me that he was supposed to work that day,
• 52:30
  Speaker 11: and one of his guys called in and asked him
• 52:32
  Speaker 11: if he would switch days. He goes, he saved my life.
• 52:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah, go ahead.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: A lot of those stories. Go ahead.
• 52:40
  Speaker 11: I have been saying for years, why hasn't Christy Todd
• 52:43
  Speaker 11: Whitman been called out? Now they find these documents saying
• 52:46
  Speaker 11: that they knew the air was poisoned. And I was
• 52:49
  Speaker 11: wondering if Congress was going to call her up and say, listen,
• 52:52
  Speaker 11: you knew it. What did you do?
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what she knows. I'd rather have
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: him go after Fauci. You know, one thing about her.
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, I agree.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: She's just a politician. She was just a politician towing
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: the line there, whatever the party line was. In the
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: case of Fauci, he claimed he was a doctor. He
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: claimed he was a scientist. For him to lie about
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: all that stuff was just really, really, really awful. Let's
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how are you doing? Vincent,
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: are you there?
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: Hello?
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: Nope. Call us back. Not your fault. We've got these
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: phones there. They're not regular phones. They're digital. That's why
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: sometimes it speeds up the voice. Call us back. Let's
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: go to Steve, Port Morris. Where's that, in the Bronx?
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Port Morris?
• 53:41
  Speaker 13: Ah, there you go.
• 53:43
  Speaker 12: More noise than a data center.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 53:51
  Speaker 5: Old manufacturing area, nice working class area.
• 53:54
  Speaker 13: Now we used to have a factory here.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very nice. And also you got a lot of
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: lofts and stuff there. There's a lot of artists who
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: work out of there now.
• 54:02
  Speaker 12: Increasingly.
• 54:04
  Speaker 13: The developers are trying to make it into Williamsburg. I
• 54:07
  Speaker 13: don't think it's going to work because... I'm sorry.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: It's going to work. You're going to be overrun with those,
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: what used to call yuppies. They're going to be all
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: over the place. Sorry, you're going to have a Starbucks everywhere. Oh,
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: look at that. He cut out, too. Something's wrong with
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: our phones today. We'll see if we can get it
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: fixed by next hour. Hey, when we come back, Michael
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: Goodwin will be with us, the greatest columnist in America.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to Michael Goodwin coming up next on 710WOR.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: Well, Michael Goodwin, the finest columnist in America. You can
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: read him every Sunday, every Wednesday in the New York Post.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: If you go to the New York Post website, all
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: of his columns are up there. Michael Goodwin, how are
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: you doing?
• 54:59
  Speaker 12: Thank you.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: Hey, Mamdani wants to go to the 9-11 ceremony. He
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: hands the pen that he signed the thing with to
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: the terrorist lawyer. What is he up to? Is this
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: guy plotting something?
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: Well, I think he's up to what exactly we think
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: he's up to, which is changing everything about New York.
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: And 9-11, of course, is kind of a sanctified event
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: and has been. And, of course, his presence is potentially disruptive,
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: but it's very hurtful for many of those people who
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: did lose relatives and friends on 9-11. Because Mamdani, his
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: positions on terrorism and these things are not entirely clear.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: He has left lots of room for doubt and suspicions
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: about his true feelings and about his deepest allegiance.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: So, but the thing with the pen, he was signing
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: a bill to fight terrorism. By handing the pen to
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: the terrorist lawyer, who was like 26 people down, was
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: that a signal to his base, don't worry, I'm not
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: really into this fight against terrorism?
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: You know, Mark, that's a very good way to look
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: at it. It does, I think, legitimately raise a question
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: about his motive in doing that. I mean, it was
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: a very awkward gesture that he did. People actually say
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: it had to be passed along a line. So why
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: that lawyer? He never explained that. And that's the sort
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: of thing about him that undercuts any desire he might
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: or might not have to sort of reconcile with all
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: those people who don't trust him. Virtually everything he does
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: simply adds to the distrust. He doesn't seem, when he talks,
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: my feeling, Mark, When he talks, he's always talking to
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: his committed base. He's never talking to anybody who isn't
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: with him. He's never reaching out to talk to people
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: who don't already agree with him on virtually everything. That
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: is not how you build a city, an administration. And
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: here we are well into his term, and yet he's
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: still is campaigning virtually every day.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this anti-Semitism in the Democratic world, was it always
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: there and we didn't notice? Or why is it all
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: of a sudden going crazy?
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: I think there was clearly a latent seed of it,
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: but it goes back many years, I think, because when
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: I was sort of coming of age.
• 58:02
  Speaker 5: In New York and And.
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: With the world news, the Democrats were the party that
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: favored Israel. They were always the most supportive, and there
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: were always many more Jewish Americans in the Democratic Party
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: than the Republican Party. But the Democrats have been, let's say,
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: taken over, hijacked by the Mandani wing, and and that
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: many of it is foreign-born, that many of it sort
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: of come to America but don't appreciate America. I mean,
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: when you think about Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, what
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: did she say? Some people did something on 9-11, right?
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: Some people did something. That, I think, is an un-American
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: statement because those of us who were here It wasn't
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: some people did something. It was something evil that was
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: done to New York.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: We're talking about Michael Goodwin. But this anti-Semitism, and then
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: you wrote about the Met Gala where this awful Anna
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: Wintour picks as the honoree the most vile anti-Semite who's
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: been convicted of hate crimes against Jews. What was she
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: thinking picking this guy? Or does it just tell us
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: who she really is?
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a good question, Mark. It seems to me
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: that there were ample warnings to her. Some unhappy parts
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: of the inner circle of the Met Museum, some of
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: the board members. So how she ran through all the
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: red lights is kind of amazing. And how the Met
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: itself didn't say, no, no, no, no, no, this is
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: not going to work. So, look, you can be so
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: cosseted by wealth, by sort of layers of people between
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: you and ordinary people that you become immune to what
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: is obvious to most people. I think that's what happened here.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: I don't describe it to any kind of villainy, just
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: out of touch, totally out of touch by choice.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But this guy, this designer she picked, it's not
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: like he was caught hanging out with Hasan Piker. He
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: was caught on video screaming at Jews, Hitler was right,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: you should be gassed. He was convicted of a hate crime.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: How did the board of the Met, how did they
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: even allow this to go ahead?
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think the inner workings of the
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: Met are something of a mystery to most of us, right?
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's an elite establishment institution. And that system
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: failed the Met. It did not produce the right result.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: This was even announced as the greatest example of failure.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: You know, if Anna Wintour or the Met were a politician,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: the campaign would be over now.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: Unless you ran as a Democrat.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: That's a good one, yeah.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin's every Sunday and every Wednesday, the New York Post.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: What are you thinking about for tomorrow?
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: Well, 9-11, of course, coming up, the 25th anniversary. You know, Mark,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: September 11th is my birthday. And I've often said, you know,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: since I don't celebrate them, I don't count them. So
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: I may need to listen now.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: And obviously, Mamdani says he's going. Obviously, the family will
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: turn their back on him. And you think that's going
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: to be all? Or is he going to pull something there?
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: Is he going to try something there, say something? What
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: do you think?
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: Well, I think the release of his order today on
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: the records, the health records, is something that I think
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: sets him apart. from the previous mayors. And it may
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: be a thing. We'll see how it plays out. But
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: it may be something that gives him a place of
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: support among some family members because this health issue, you know,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: the events of Ground Zero, the neighborhood people got sick,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: and there has been a long clamoring for all of
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: the documents. What did the city know and when did
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: it know it? What did the state know? What did
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: the feds know? And so we will see if there
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: is some movement of public opinion as a result of
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: his order to set up this portal so that the
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: public can see the documents for themselves. Now, are the
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: smoking gun documents? I have no way of knowing. Some
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: people believe there are such things, but I wonder because
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: the core event of 9-11 is a terrorist attack on
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: New York City and America. To say what happened afterwards
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: is somehow the core, I think, is wishful thinking on
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: the Mondani team's part.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll be reading the column tomorrow. You can read
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin's column every Sunday, every Wednesday in the New
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: York Post. And if you missed any, all his columns
• 1:04:01

• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: on 710WOR.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: What's better than two hours of Mark Simone?
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 12: Three.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. Now nine till noon weekdays.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: 710WOR.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: All right. Now remember, it's Tuesday. This is not Monday.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: This is Tuesday. And don't panic. I know it's after
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: Labor Day. Don't panic. Summer's not over. It's not over yet.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Look at the forecast for today. Sunny, 82. That's summer.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Look at the forecast for tomorrow. Sunny, 85. That's perfect
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: summer weather. Sunny, 85. Thursday, partly cloudy, 84. Friday, sunny,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: 80 degrees. Weekend, 78, 79. But look at next week.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: It's all around 80. Oh, look at next weekend. It
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: goes down to 73. All right. But it's still summer, officially.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: This is actually summer for the next couple of weeks.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: And it's going to be just fine. Now, it is
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: a little annoying. You go into certain supermarkets or wherever.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: I did it yesterday. And there's a big display in
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: the front of pumpkins. Every coffee place, pumpkin spice, pumpkin,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: enough with this pumpkin stuff. It's still summer, but it's
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: going to happen very fast. And as soon as you
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: get near Halloween, you're going to see Thanksgiving stuff on sale.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: You're going to see Christmas stuff starting already. It's going
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: to move very, very fast. We have a lot of
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: listeners in Florida. Once it gets into October, especially around Halloween,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: that's when the season really kicks off. You're going to
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: be overrun with people. If you go to Palm Beach
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: or anywhere in Florida right now, It's very nice. You
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: can drive around, go in any restaurant. As soon as
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: it's November, you're in gridlock all day in Florida. You
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: can't get into any restaurant. It becomes an absolute mess.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: Mar-a-Lago reopens in October, usually around Halloween. Anyway, we've got
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: a lot to get to in the next hour. We'll
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: get to President Trump, some activity today at the White House.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: We'll get to– Some Jimmy Fallon news and more right
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: after the news, 710WOR.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 7: Mark Simone.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 14: The issues you really care about on 710WOR.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: Well, Mayor Mangani plotting, scheming, plotting all kinds of 9-11 crap.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he's up to, but as mentioned,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: as you know, When he signed the bill about fighting terrorism,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: he hands the pen to the terrorist lawyer to signal
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: that he's not really behind this bill. He's showing up
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: at the 9-11 ceremony, totally unwanted. And the families, of course,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: have all signed that petition. A lot of people have
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: signed the petition that he not come to the 9-11
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: ceremony on Friday. 100,000 signatures on there. And this might
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: look like a... a good act on his part. He
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: released all the secret documents showing that the government, uh,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: the city, state, local, federal, all the government people all
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: knew the air quality was dangerous and bad and covered
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: it up. So Mamdani appeared alongside nine 11 families and
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: John Stewart was there. He's always been, uh, latching onto
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: this cause. And, uh, He released the documents. It's about
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: 150,000 pages of documents saying they absolutely knew the air
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: quality was poisonous. They knew it was bad. They covered
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: it up. You remember the famous Christine Todd Whitman, who
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: was in the administration at the time, administration official, saying
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: the air quality is fine, nothing to worry about. So
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: why would he do this? This seems like a good
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: thing to do to release all this. He put out
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: a searchable portal. So you can search through the documents
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: and look at stuff. And apparently this is not it.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: There's 150,000 pages of documents, but apparently there's a lot
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: more that could be coming out. So why would he
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: release that? I mean, if I had to guess, I
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: think he's in some kind of war with this 9-11 stuff.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: And that's why he would hand the pen to the
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: lawyer of terrorists, of Al-Qaeda terrorists, And I think by
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: releasing this, he's looking to discredit everybody that's thought of
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: positively with 9-11. He's looking to discredit George Pataki, Rudy Giuliani,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: all the figures that were there on 9-11, all the
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: heroes of 9-11 government. I think he's looking to discredit
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: them completely by releasing this. Because people are already saying, well,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: how could Christine Todd Whitman make those statements if she
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: knew all this stuff. Well, they're going to start to think, well,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: wait a minute. Why didn't George Pataki let us know?
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: Why didn't Rudy Giuliani let us know? Why didn't all
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: those commissioners and officials and everybody let us know? Why
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: didn't the city government let us know? Why didn't the
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: Bloomberg administration let us know if they had these documents?
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: If Mamdani found them, why didn't the Bloomberg administration find them?
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: Why didn't the de Blasio administration find them? So I
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: think that's his purpose in releasing this, just to totally
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: discredit the establishment government. It's sort of become him against
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: all the 9-11 government figures. He's looking to discredit them.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: That's why he released it. And it's getting some attention,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: not as much attention as you think, but that could build.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: The steel from the World Trade Center, that big chunk
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: of steel from 9-11, It's been touring the country to
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: honor first responders. It's been going to various cities. It
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: arrived at the White House this morning. There's a ceremony today.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: Tunnel to Towers brought the steel to the White House
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: with a lot of first responders. Very solemn event today.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: The president will speak at this. This will be really
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: his 9-11 speech. He's not going to. come to Ground Zero,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: and not because they wouldn't let him speak. Nobody ever speaks.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: They don't have speeches at the Ground Zero ceremony. It's
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: just the family speak. No politicians ever speak. And that's
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: been the case for many, many, many years. There'll be
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: a ceremony at the Pentagon as well on Friday. President
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: will go to that. But today he'll make what is
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: his 9-11 speech as he honors the first responders today
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: at the White House. It's after Labor Day. Don't worry.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: It's still summer. This is still summer. You got another
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: couple weeks of summer. 80 and sunny today. This is
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: summer weather. Hey, you know, there's a show called Comics Unleashed,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: and it's on CBS. They canceled Colbert, threw him the
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: hell out of there, and replaced it. Byron Allen actually
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: made a deal where he pays for the time. He
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: buys the hour from CBS. And, you know, Byron Allen
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: was a comedian, but he came this big producer, became
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: a billionaire, literally a billionaire in show business. And he
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: produces this show, Comics Unleashed. And it's just funny. It's
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: not political. It's not pushing any agenda. It's just funny.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: It's just comedians. And it's very funny. Byron Allen interviews them.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: A lot of funny interviews. So it's been running in
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: that time period. Well, it's now beating Fallon and Kimmel,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: crushing them actually in the ratings in what's the most
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: important thing, the 18 to 49 demo, 18 to 49
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: year olds. That's the key demo. That's what they're after
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: with television viewers. And in the big demo that everybody's after, uh,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: once again, Byron Allen comics unleashed beating Jimmy Fallon and
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel badly. Now, Kimmel, don't expect him to stay
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: around too long. They got rid of Colbert, and they're
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: doing much better with Comics Unleashed. Kimmel only has a
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: few months left on that contract. When his contract ended
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: last year, they wouldn't give him a new one. They
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: just gave him a one-year extension, which is a real
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: slap in the face insult. So when that ends by
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: the end of the year, they're going to look at
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: Comics Unleashed, the great success it's having. Kimmel and Fallon
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: get much older viewers. But in the 18 to 49,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: comics unleashed a big, big hit. So they may be
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: looking at replacing Jimmy Kimmel with an actual comedy show,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: not an angry, vicious political show, but an actual comedy show,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: which was the original idea of late night TV, was
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: that you have some laughs, you have some entertainment, a
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: few laughs before you go to sleep, not an angry,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: vicious political guy getting you all riled up before you
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: go to sleep. Hey, this new rules, they're going in
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: New York City schools everywhere about no phones. You're not
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: allowed to have your phone in school. I guess it's
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: because the kids get distracted. They'll take out their phone.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: They'll look at their phone while they're in school. You know,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: it's like when you go to dinner with people. You're
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: having dinner with some people and one of them takes
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: out their phone. They're looking at their phone. You can
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: get mad if you want. Put down your phone. I mean,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: I'm listening. But it's really your fault. If you're having
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: dinner and you're talking and they take out their phone,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: obviously you're not holding their attention. You know, I do
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of speeches all over the place and I'm
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: always speaking at some event or emceeing some. You get
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: up there and you're talking and you see, you look
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: in the front row and they're taking out their phone.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: It means you're not doing your job. Make it better.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: Make it funnier. Make it more interesting. Get them to
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: put down the phone. Same thing if you're having dinner
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: with people and they take out the phone. Don't get mad.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: Pick up the pace a little or... Change the subject.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: Whatever you're talking about is boring the hell out of them.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you're really riveting, nobody's taking out their
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: phone and looking. It's the same thing in school. If
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: they're all taking out their phone, it means they're not
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: listening to what you're teaching. Hey, when I was in
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: this school, especially high school, I couldn't listen to any
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: of that. I didn't know what the hell they were
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: talking about. I didn't learn a damn thing. I didn't
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: learn anything. And what did I take? We took biology.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: What the hell do I need to take biology for?
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: And especially math class, algebra, calculus. You're going to need
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: this later in life. You know, it's much later in life.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: It never came up once, that algebra stuff. Never once
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: did I ever need it. I like to go find
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: these old teachers. You know, you were wrong. It never
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: came up once that I needed algebra or calculus. Or
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: even English. You know, they'd have you read these books.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: Silas Marner. I don't know what the hell this book
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: was about. No, what the hell I'm reading? Or sometimes
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: the great book, The Great Gatsby is my favorite book.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, what an incredible book. But they had
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: me read it when I was 14. I'm 14. I
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: don't know what the hell this book is about. So
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: maybe start thinking about switching high school to actually teaching
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: something that somebody might be interested in. Teach them how
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: to do their taxes. Teach them how to invest. Teach
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: them skills they can actually use somewhere instead of this stuff. So, hey,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: a weird thing happened on MSNOW. Everybody's talking about it. Normally,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: you can shoot your mouth off on CNN or MSNBC.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: You can accuse Trump of all kinds of things. You
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: can say all the fake lies you want. Nobody ever
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: bothers you. So, ex-lawyer of Trump's, Ty Cobb, who now
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: hates Trump, he's on MSNOW or MSNBC, whatever they call it,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: and he kept calling Trump a rapist. President Trump, a rapist.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: The host on the show was Jonathan Capehart. He actually interrupted.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: He said, nope, nope, nope. He's not a rapist. Well,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: he was convicted of rape. No, he wasn't. It was
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: sexual assault. Well, but they said he was a rapist. No,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: sexual assault. So nobody knows why. But Jonathan Capehart, good
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: for him, actually corrected the guy. Now, it could be
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: a memo has gone out to everybody at the network
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: because They did that on ABC on the Sunday show
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: with George Stephanopoulos. Trump sued and ABC had to settle
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: for like 15 million. They had to give Trump 15 million.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: And Trump is currently suing NBC over Kristen Walker, that
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: fake news corrupt Sunday show host, for some lie she
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: put on the air. So they're going to have to
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: make a settlement there. So a memo has probably gone
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: out to everybody. Although MSNOW is no longer a part
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: of NBC, but they probably sent a memo out to everybody, uh,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: Not to accuse Trump of totally fake things because they
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: don't want to get sued. And MSNBC, MSNOW, it's no
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: longer part of NBC. They would have to defend themselves.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: They would have to pay their own settlement. And I
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: don't think they want to do it. You know, you'll
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: hear people call Trump a pedophile or make these pedophile jokes.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump has never, ever been accused of being a pedophile.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: There is nothing out there. Nothing in the Epstein files,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: absolutely nothing anywhere that even suggests he had anything to
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: do with pedophilia. Nothing. So if anybody says that, that
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: is absolute, total fake news. Hey, the Wall Street Journal,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: did you see this piece they did on John Fetterman?
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: You know, the guy with the shorts and the hoodie.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: It's interesting. You know, why would you not wear a
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: suit and tie in Congress? You show up in your
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: basketball clothes or you show up like you're there to
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: move furniture or something. Why? Well, I guess it makes
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: it look like you're there to work. You're going to
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: work hard. Well, no. Big report from the Wall Street Journal. Apparently,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: Fetterman is the laziest guy in the history of Congress.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: Never shows up. Doesn't really do anything. He had a
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: meeting scheduled with paralyzed veterans. And all of a sudden,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: they got word that he's sick. He's got laryngitis. He
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: can't come to the meeting. And there's TVs on in
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: the office there. And so the staff says, we'll hold it.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: We'll discuss it with you. The staff will hold the meetings.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: But a few minutes later, they notice on the TV,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, there's Fetterman on Fox News. He stood
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: them up to go do a Fox News interview. So
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: there's more and more of this. He's backed out from
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: attending funerals. He found a way to get marked present
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: at certain hearings when he's not really there. He'd walk in,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: get marked present, and just leave. Cancels meetings all the
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: time with constituents and lawmakers. There was one funeral for
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: police officers killed in his hometown. It was supposed to
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: be there. Then he got there. He found out the
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: funeral is three hours. And he said, that's a deal
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: breaker and left. Wouldn't show up at the funeral. So
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: that's apparently the real Fetterman behind the scenes, but it's
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: starting to come out. Hey, Costco, you know, the most
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: popular thing is this pumpkin stuff is everywhere. Now pumpkin,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: everything is showing up everywhere, but don't, Costco has the
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: greatest food. Nobody has a better hot dog. It's the
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: finest hot dog with the best hot dog bun. They
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: now have a copy of the Dairy Queen Blizzard. Costco
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: is just a place to go eat. It's phenomenal. And
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: the bakery, amazing stuff. But one of the most popular
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: things is the pumpkin cheesecake. It's back. It's unbelievable. The
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: pumpkin cheesecake, whipped pumpkin topping, sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg. Everybody's
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: been waiting for this. It's finally back. A little early,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: but that's okay. The other thing about Costco, everything is
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: so cheap there. Now, this pumpkin pie is 10 ounces,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: made fresh daily. How much do you think it is? $ 5.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: 99.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: $ 5. 99. It would be $ 30 anywhere else. $ 5. 99 at Costco. Hey,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: do you drink coffee every day? Well, if you drink
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: too much coffee, believe it or not, sorry to break
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: this to you, latest study, it's associated with higher, actually lowering,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: Your bone density, especially around the hips, hip bone mineral
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: density can be lowered by coffee. Too much coffee can
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: do that. Now listen to this. If you drink tea,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: it gives you a higher hip bone mineral density. That's
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: very important as you get older, that bone density. So
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: tea helps it. Coffee hurts it. Latest research, I'm sorry
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: to tell you, but especially if you drink five cups
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: of coffee or more per day can really lower A
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: bone density around the hips. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710 is the number. Don't forget, it's 9 to noon
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: every day. We're now three hours. 9 to noon every day.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: We'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710. Welcome back to The
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone Show.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Chris in West Hampton. Chris, how you doing?
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 14: Good morning, Mark.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 4: I'm okay, thanks.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 12: Have a good weekend?
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 14: I really want to know.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, good.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: Okay. What's going on in West Hampton? You ever go
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: to that new Donahue's that just opened?
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 14: No, I don't go there. There's two good restaurants that
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 14: I like. There's Baby Moon and Trey Diamante, which is
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 14: a Spanish restaurant.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: Well, Donahue's, though, is a legendary restaurant, 64th and Lexington.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: They closed and they moved to West Hampton. It's called
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: Donahue's East. Go try that.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: Well, okay.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 14: I never ate in it when it was in Manhattan.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 14: But anyway, two things I want to ask you about.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 9: I know you have a great— No, no, no.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: This guy's always in panic. Yes, I'm not happy.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 14: I'm panicking, yes.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: He's always in panic.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 14: I'm panicking about Wilhelm Omar.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: About what?
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 14: Ilhan Omar, you remember a couple in July, I called
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 14: and I asked you why nothing was being done about her,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 14: if she did marry her brother, if she was involved
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 14: in the Medicare fraud, and you told me not to
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 14: worry about it, that they're looking into it.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 14: And I said, well, they're waiting for November because we're
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 14: going to get smoked in November. Why is Ilhan Omar,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 14: why is nobody doing this Tim Walz.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 12: Stuff and all the fraud?
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: They are. They are.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 14: But who's the day?
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: The government, Justice Department. People are getting busted day and
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: night in the Medicaid fraud.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 14: Okay, if Ilhan married her brother, is that immigration fraud?
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: Calm down. You know where you are right now? You're
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: in West Hampton. I don't know if you know this.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: They have a beach there.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm in West Hampton.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 14: I'm going to the beach later on. I went yesterday
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 14: and I went today.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: I want you to go to the beach and I
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: want you to put on some music and I want
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: you to relax. I don't want you to sit there
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: and go into panic about Elon Omar. They'll get to it.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 12: But it's not. But we're going to get killed.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 14: Everything Trump is doing is going to get reversed. Never
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 14: mind they're going to tear down the ballroom.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's proof right there that he's going to win big.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: Anytime you say he's going to lose, he.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 12: Always wins big.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 14: I hope you're right, but I'm not wrong.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: You're always wrong every time. It never fails.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 13: Food is so expensive.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 4: No, it's not.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 14: Gas is expensive.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 11: Yes, it is.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: No, it's not. Gas is cheaper now than it was
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: in the George W. Bush administration, literally.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 14: Okay, let's wait, okay? Because oil's up again for another
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 14: $ 2 or something. I was just looking. I look at
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 14: something different.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: All right, let's check the record. We don't want to
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: do this to you, but we could record you every election.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: You're always 100% wrong every time. From your mouth to
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: God's ears. You are the most reliable reverse barometer. You
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: remember last time around you told me we were going
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: to lose the whole thing.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 14: With the abortion, yes.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: I still can't believe it.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 14: I said that last time. I can't believe that that
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 14: was not a bigger issue. Well, it's true.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 13: Everybody in New York was bringing their daughters.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: You've got to calm down. This is some kind of
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: mental thing with you. You can look at actual data
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: and metrics. You don't have to just guess. At the time,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: abortion was not coming up as an issue with any voters.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: It was like number 17 on the list of issues
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: in every survey, every poll, every study.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 12: Now.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: And not only that, abortion has nothing to do with
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: the president. He has no say whatsoever about abortion anyway.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 4: Right, but it had to do with the Republicans.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 14: And just like Trump is saying, vote like I'm on
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 14: the ballot right now.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: The Republicans have nothing to do with abortion. It's a
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: local issue now. The Congress has nothing to do with
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: abortion anymore. It's a local issue now. All right. Well, anyway,
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: thank you.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 14: You're my favorite show, no matter what. Not that there's
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 14: ever been anything wrong, but.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: Thanks for calling.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: Take care.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: Thanks. He's a nice guy, but you can listen to
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: any show anywhere on any station. He's calling up, and
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: at the end, you're my favorite show. Nice guy, though.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Blauvelt in Florida. Blauvelt, how you doing?
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 5: He's a good caller, that guy, Chris.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: He's a good caller, but you hear him on every station,
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: every show. You can put on WBC in Boston. There
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: he is calling Dan Ray. Every show.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 5: I haven't called in a while. I hope you haven't
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 5: missed me that much.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: We did.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 5: Hey, listen, what is the real story behind Malia?
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: Well, the real story is she's always had a rocky
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: relationship with management. She's a very nice person in real life.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: But at work, she's always, I don't know, she's always
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: in a clash with management. Ratings weren't so good. I mean,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: they were okay, but not big. I mean, Varney gets
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: much bigger ratings. Kudlow gets enormous ratings.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 5: I watch her every morning. I prefer that over Fox
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 5: and Friends.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: It's a different type of show. Fox and Friends is
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: more for the general public. This was more for the
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: investor class. It's a small audience she had, but a
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: very good audience. She was always pushing the envelope with
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: questionable stories, the China AI centers. There was a Kevin
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: O'Leary segment that Fox had to issue multiple apologies for.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 4: You mentioned O'Leary.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 5: I heard him on an interview, and he's talking about
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 5: he's trying to open up a data center out in Ohio.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 5: And he says these things don't use any water, more
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 5: than water than a golf course.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: Well, that's true. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, one by one,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: they're solving all the problems. The water, they figured out
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: how to recycle it. They don't use that much water. Good, good, good. Energy,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: they're figuring out how to power themselves.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 5: Could you do me a favor? Could you ask... Vincent,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 5: what are the names of the little pepper biscuits at
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 5: Adios Bakery in Arthur Avenue in the Bronx? I can't
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 5: remember the name of those things. The little pepper biscuits
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 5: at Adios Bakery.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: I don't mean to sound like a genius. I mean,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: this is the most brilliant thing in the world I've
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: come up with. You ever think of calling the Adios
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: Bakery and saying, what are the names of those biscuits?
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: If you know the name of the bakery, look up
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: the number and call them.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 5: I'd rather hear it from Vincent.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, if you know the bakery, go to
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: their website, go to their Instagram. I'm sure it's right
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: on their menu there. Anyway, let's go to Rich in
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you doing?
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 3: Hey, thanks, Mark.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 4: You know, you're right. The Costco hot dog is the
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 4: best hot dog in the world. It's even better than
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 4: the Nathan's. I'm not thrilled with the bun because they're steamed. No,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 4: but it's a beautiful bun.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: It's got great flavor in it.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's got a nice flavor, but I like them toasted,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 4: you know, but they don't do that. But the pizza
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't eat, but the sundae is my next thing
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 4: on the agenda. You know, we're down here in Myrtle
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 4: Beach in the land of golf courses. You see Sprinkles
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 4: does have gallons of water every minute all over the
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 4: streets and all over the golf courses down here. So
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 4: I'm not worried about the data centers. But, you know,
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 4: we're down here in Myrtle Beach. Gas is supposed to
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 4: be 250 down here. It's 360 to 369 to 372.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 4: It changes sometimes three or four times a day. If
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 4: Trump doesn't get this gas price under control by the
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 4: end of September, he's going to blow the midterms for it.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: Not necessarily. Gas prices were much, much, much higher during
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 4: And, uh, but that's apples and oranges because Biden was
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 4: a dope. Trump promised us cheaper gas has started to
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 4: come down. He got involved with Iran, which I fully support,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 4: but either wrap this thing up in Iran or get
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 4: out of it, but just bomb the hell out of
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 4: them and get rid of everybody. They all want to
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 4: die anyway. Yeah. Well, make an omelet. You got to
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 4: kill a few citizens, but they all got to go.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: I understand. But you got to remember, uh, we've been
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: through this before with the straight, the straight home roots
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: always closes in every war. Uh, A good example was
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: the Iraq War. They closed the Strait of Hormuz. Gas
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: had been $ 60 a barrel. And when the Strait of
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: Hormuz closed, panic set in. It went to $ 100 a barrel,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: $ 110 a barrel. But once the whole thing got settled,
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: it not only went back to $ 60, it plunged to
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: $ 40 a barrel. You had the cheapest gas ever. So
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: once they wrap up the Iran thing, which could happen
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: at any point, it'll not only go back down, it'll plunge.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: It always does that after. Every time it increases like this. Hey,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: when we come back, Bill O'Reilly. We'll talk to Bill
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: O'Reilly next on 710WOR.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. Nine till noon weekdays. More Mark.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 3: 710WOR.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: Well, the number one TV anchor for decades. The number
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: one best-selling non-fiction author on earth. His latest book is
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: coming out, Confronting America. You should pre-order it right now. And,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: of course, he does a great podcast. We'll do it live.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: He's got his YouTube channel, Bill O'Reilly on YouTube. And,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: of course, the website BillOReilly.com has everything there. You can
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: get the book, the podcast, the TV show, the column, BillOReilly.com.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly, how are you doing?
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 12: I'm lamenting the end of summer. I'm lamenting today.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: It's not over yet. You've got another couple of weeks.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 12: You know, with the book promotion, though, it's crazy. All
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 12: my time is taken by that. And I want to
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 12: tell you an interesting story. So I sent advance copies
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 12: to you and a few other people of Confronting America,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 12: What Has to Change. And I sent it to people
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 12: that I knew would read it or at least most
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 12: of it. I don't want to waste book copies on
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 12: people I know aren't going to read anything. So in
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 12: the process, I sent copies to three of my liberal friends.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 12: And three of my moderate conservative friends, not far right.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 12: And the liberals weren't crazy left either. And I said, look,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 12: just do me a favor and read as much as
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 12: you can and then give me a report on whether
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 12: you like the book or not.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 12: So it comes back where the three moderate conservatives are
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 12: delirious with joy. They read the book in a day,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 12: most of them, and it is great, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 12: But all three liberals, who I've known for many years,
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 12: hated the book. Really? Hated it.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: What's to hate in that book?
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 12: Well, the reason, because obviously I asked them, was that
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 12: I placed blame on the individual American for things that
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 12: are going wrong. Which I do. Yeah. I mean, every
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 12: problem is caused by an individual or individuals. Human beings.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 12: AI isn't causing the problem.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 12: It's folks that are causing the problems. And they won't
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 12: fix them or they're, you know, making them worse or
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 12: whatever it may be. And I said to them, I said, look,
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 12: if you... If you read the thing, and there's not
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 12: a lot of ideology in this book. I mean, it's
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 12: not a conservative book. It's not a pro-Trump or anti-Biden book.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 12: That's not what we do. We say, here is the problem.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 12: Kids in New York City can't read. How do you
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 12: fix it? How did it happen? And it happened because
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 12: of derelict parents. That's why it happened. Now, you can
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 12: fix it. But that's going to take discipline, which the
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 12: left does not want to apply to anything. It's always
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 12: society's fault. It's never the individual's fault. And so that
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 12: was a very interesting analysis that I got back. I'm
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 12: going to do a big thing, big take on this
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 12: tonight on the No Spin News, because we're not in
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 12: the midterms voting for people. We're not voting for people
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 12: in the midterms. Okay, no matter who's on the ballot
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 12: in your district, whatever senators, you're not voting for that person.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 12: You are voting for movements. So if you support the
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 12: Democratic candidate and that candidate is too afraid to confront
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 12: the radical socialists, then you're voting for radical socialism.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 9: You!
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 4: You!
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 12: You're not voting for Ossoff in Georgia. You're voting for
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 12: the damage that's going to be done by his party.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 12: And also, if you are a Trump supporter and you
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 12: love everything that Trump does, okay, you're voting for semi-madness
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 12: and changing the names of everything. I don't even know
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 12: what the names are anymore. I used to know the
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 12: Great Lakes. I don't know that now. New Mexico?
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 3: What are we doing?
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 12: We don't need to do this. Trump is a good
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 12: economic story to tell if he would only tell it.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 12: So anyway, I hate to go on a diatribe, but
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 12: that was a very, very interesting thing that happened over vacation.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a great book. It's called Confronting America. Now,
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: it's coming out Tuesday.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 12: September 15th, a week from today.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pre-order it right now. In fact, you pre-order, you
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: usually get it early. You just go to Amazon or
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: BillOReilly.com and pre-order the book Confronting America. Hey, there's a reason,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: I forgot what it was, why all the books come
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: out on Tuesday. They figured out that's the best day
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: to release a book?
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and, you know, the publishing houses don't want to
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 12: get caught up in weekend madness where people are going
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 12: to the movies or they're doing stuff. So Tuesday is
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 12: kind of a day where not much happens. And so
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 12: they put the books out and they hope that the
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 12: books will have legs, which means that people will buy them,
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 12: tell their neighbor, and then the neighbor will buy it.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 12: And that's how it goes down.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, but the average American, what's the average American supposed
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: to do? You know, they come home from work. They
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: put on the nightly news on the network. They don't
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: realize it's now slanted, biased, totally corrupt. The Sunday shows
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: are totally corrupt. Send their kids to college. The professors
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: are indoctrinating them. What is the average American supposed to
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: do about that?
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 12: Well, you have to run your own home. And that's
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 12: the danger of the democratic, socialist, communist movement, that the
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 12: far-left radicals want to take parental authority away. They want
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 12: to take power away from the individuals. And very simple.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 12: How much more tax can we pay? How much more
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 12: can you pay? I got my tax bill today. I
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 12: have to pay in advance because there's a bunch of
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 12: numbers and corporations and things like that. And I'm just
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 12: looking at myself going, I can't pay any more. And
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 12: they're going to tax every blanking thing. If you vote
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 12: for a Democrat, no matter who it is, moderate, radical,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 12: you are going to be taxed more. You are going
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 12: to lose more of your take-home pay because the party
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 12: is bent on redistributing income. That's what they want to do,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 12: and they will do it. So the less money you have,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 12: the less power you have, that people can abuse you,
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 12: that you can't live in a neighborhood you want to
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 12: live in, Can't drive a car you want. Because the
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 12: government is taking your money away from you. And that's
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 12: the Democratic Party. And they don't deny it. You don't
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 12: hear any denials, oh, we're going to cut taxes. Wait
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 12: a minute. You guys having, the Democrats having cut taxes
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 12: since Grover Cleveland. When are you going to start?
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 12: I mean, this is insane. So I'm trying to get
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 12: everybody to stop with the individual stuff.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 3: I hate Trump. So what?
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 12: What good does that do the country that you hate Trump?
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 12: Or you love him? What good does it do? It
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 12: doesn't do the country any good. What does is that
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 12: you're recognizing the big picture and how it will affect
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 12: you and your family. And the democratic radicals want to
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 12: take away your power. And you do that by taking
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 12: away your money. And New York city is the best
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 12: example in the world of that.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: Well, hopefully they get that together, the messaging on that
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: and get that across. Uh, Hey, uh, we're just about
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: out of time. The podcast, we'll do it live. Everybody

  Speaker 12: Nixon after he was a civilian. Yeah. And she got
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 12: to see all the impeachment stuff that, you know, they
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 12: were going to throw him out anyway and then pardoned
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 12: him today. It was the anniversary of the Nixon pardon today.

• 1:40:04
  Speaker 12: well by some people. And, you know, I didn't like
• 1:40:07
