  Speaker 1: Now, on 710WOR, Mark Simone. Much more Mark. Thank you,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Shadow Stevens. Welcome to hour number three, the latest breaking
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: news this morning. Trump has been very nice to Putin
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the last week or two, even flattering him at times,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: causing some flack for himself by being nice to Putin.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: But it's paying off. A couple of things have happened.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Russia has released an American they've been holding for four years,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: an American teacher. They took hostage. So Trump asked for
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that teacher to be released, that prisoner. Asked for him back.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Putin released him this morning with no conditions. It was
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: not a swap or an exchange. He just did it
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: for us, released the teacher. And then the other big breakthrough,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Putin has agreed to trilateral talks. It'll be the U.S., Ukraine... Russia,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Putin has agreed to sit down for trilateral talks. Now,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: this is a big breakthrough. Of course, when you have
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: negotiations with Putin, no matter what he agrees to, it
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: never happens. But it's the thought that counts. He's going
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to have trilateral talks. So there's been a bit of
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a breakthrough. We'll see what happens. Mayor Bloomberg, Michael Bloomberg,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: has announced he's given $ 80 million to Democrats and He
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: loves the Democrats. He's a Democrat, lifelong Democrat, except for
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that period where he pretended he was a Republican to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: get elected mayor, but he's been a Democrat all his life.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: So he's donating $ 80 million just in the last two weeks.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: This is the final two weeks. It's only 13 days
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: until the election, so there's going to be a massive push.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It's going to get very intense, the next week especially,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and it's going to go crazy. So Bloomberg is pumping
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: $ 80 million dollars into the race. I mean, after all,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the Democrats were so nice to him. Remember when he
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: tried to run and they humiliated him out of the race?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Of course, he was a stuttering idiot in the debates.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: His debate, I watch it about once a week. Go
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on YouTube, type Michael Bloomberg, Elizabeth Warren. Watch Elizabeth Warren
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: tear him apart on the debate stage and watch Bloomberg
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: become a ridiculously embarrassing, stuttering idiot, a real Chef of
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the future. Ahamada, Ahamada, Ahamada, Ahamada. He didn't know what
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to say. Like a bad fighter who couldn't even get
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: his hands up. The anti-Semitism continuing all over the place.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So some anti-Semite, anti-Israel vandals destroying the subway entrance, you know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the machines. When you go on the subway, it used
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to be a MetroCard. Remember those? A MetroCard. Remember, a MetroCard.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: It seems so antique. But, you know, you hold your
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: phone up to the little Omni screen reader. Well, these
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: anti-Israel vandals have been going into the subway. They've captured
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it on video. You can see them. They come in
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: with a big drill and they drill right through the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: glass and right through the screen and destroy the Omni reader. Why?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Because the company that makes the readers is an Israeli company,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I guess. They cost about $ 3, 000 each, so they destroyed
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: all of them in one subway station. That's about $ 18, 000
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: in damages. They did leave two leaflets behind. One said
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: live free, ride free, F the NYPD. The other was anti-Semitic, anti-Israel.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Every time you tap, you're sending money to a war profiteer.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Stop the genocide, free Palestine. These guys were all covered
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: up and masked. So I don't know if they'll be
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: able to find them. But they did destroy a lot
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of the Omni machine readers. But they'll be on the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: lookout for these guys now, trying to stop them. Hey,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: The View, Joy Behar. You know, she's older than you
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: might have realized. She's 84, Joy Behar. And there's a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: lot of people that are 84 and running around and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: doing a great job. But she's become quite frail at 84.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: And she's taken a couple of bad falls backstage, even
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: on the set once. I think dislocated her shoulder. I mean,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: she's taken some really bad falls, serious injuries. She's 84,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and apparently backstage, behind the scenes, people have to lead
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: her around and hold her, otherwise she'll fall. So apparently,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: according to this report, the VIEW executives are urging her
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to retire right away. before something really bad happens, a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: serious injury. Behind the scenes, they say, it's become a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: dangerous situation. Nobody wants to be responsible if something bad happens.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: She needs the staff to guide her around backstage. She
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: was off the show for a while earlier this month,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: claiming she would be, actually, she's been off since October 1st,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: claiming she would be returning soon, but that hasn't happened.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: But they're very alarmed about this, urging her now, not
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to come back, urging her to retire. You know who
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: is coming back? Roseanne Barr. Of course, the show Roseanne
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: back in the 80s, that was the most important show, sitcom.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: It was huge. That show was so big, so powerful,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: top-rated show, ran for many years. Now, remember, a few
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: years ago, she brought it back. ABC brought it back.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And she's a Trump supporter. She's a conservative. So she
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to make that a part of the character, that
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: she was a Trump supporter. So they brought the show back.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: It did very well in the ratings, but everybody went
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: crazy on a Trump supporter on ABC. Network TV doesn't
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: want any Trump support on there. So apparently there was
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a tweet they didn't like. I forget what the tweet was.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: They said it was racist, but they were looking for
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: an excuse to cancel her, and they canceled her right away. Well,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: she's coming back now with a whole new show. independently
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: produced she's gotten either she's financing it she probably made
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a billion dollars on Roseanne so she may be financing
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: it or yeah it says self-financed so it's a sitcom
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: called Meemaw a modern day fable she plays a it's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: basically like a trailer park family in Texas hill country
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: she plays the matriarch who's very patriotic it's a mixed
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: race family Dree DiMatteo plays her daughter. Remember her? She
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: was on The Sopranos. On The Sopranos, she was Adrienne,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: married to Christopher. People loved her in that show, so
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: she'll be the daughter. Omar Gooding plays her son-in-law. There's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a granddaughter. Randy Quaid plays the local sheriff. So it
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: could be a great show. Hollywood Reporter took a sneak
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: peek of it. They said it's closer in tone to
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the trailer park comedy, My Name is Earl, then Roseanne.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: But she's financed this thing. They've done a pilot or
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a couple of shows. And she's looking for an outlet.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: If a network wants it, of course, the networks are
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: all left-wing Trump haters. They're not going to run it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: But a streaming service, they might want it. They might
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: want it. So keep an eye on this Roseanne new sitcom.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: That may be happening soon. If you're in Nashville, remember
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you used to go to Nashville. It was all You know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: it was country. It was the Grand Ole Opry. It
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: was Johnny Cash. It was, you know, country play, ribs,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. Well, if you go down there now,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: people are a little shocked. There's Lamborghinis all over the place.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: There's $ 30, $ 40 million mansions. You know, they got rid
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of the tax. Tennessee became a great state. Nashville became
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the hottest, most booming city in America. A lot of
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: wealthy people. A lot of northerners moved down there. It's
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: becoming quite the glitzy, ritzy place. Even a lot of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: top restaurants. Anthony Scotto, who used to be running Fresco,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the great restaurant here in New York. He moved down there.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He opened an Italian restaurant. And then another one. I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: think he's got a third one coming. Hot shot New
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: York restaurant guy down there. There's more and more of
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: that happening. And as I say, Lamborghinis all over the place.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: It's not the same old Nashville. You know, there's good
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and there's bad to it. It's like Miami Beach. Isn't
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the old, uh, uh, Jackie Gleason, Larry King, Miami beach
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: with the houseboat. It's like a million skyscrapers. It's gridlock.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: It's traffic. It's, uh, uh, hookers everywhere. It's a nightclubs.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: It's a million New York restaurant. It's not what it
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: used to be. Things change when you, that's the problem
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: with getting rid of all the taxes and making it
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a easy place to move to. Everybody moves there. So, um,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: In France, they got curfews now in Paris and Lyon.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: They're worried about this weekend where it could start up again. Apparently,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a massive security operation being planned by Macron for when
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the rioting comes back this weekend. Lay's potato chips. Now,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you should not be eating potato chips, by the way.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: There's all kinds of new studies out. You know what
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the healthiest thing you need is? Nuts. I mean, for
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a snack. Pistachio nuts. Almonds. Walnuts, forget potato chips, not healthy.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Too many chemicals, but you read all the latest studies.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Nuts are so healthy for you in like 27 major categories,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: but Lay's, announces new flavors to hit the shelves this
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: month and next month they're actually made in texas i'm
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: choking up here i don't know if i like any
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: of these the new lace potato chips coming out now
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: cheddar scalloped style potatoes I don't know, it doesn't sound great.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Roasted holiday turkey flavored chips. Sounds ridiculous. Lays maple bacon chips.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Sounds awful. Sorry, choking up here. Now, to wash it
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: all down, Pepsi is announcing the big new Pepsi. It's
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: vanilla and cream soda. Okay, that doesn't sound bad. Vanilla
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: cream Pepsi. It doesn't sound great, but it doesn't sound
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that bad. Now, in December, Lay's is announcing chocolatey potato chips. Okay,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: this sounds okay. The wavy milk chocolate potato chip. The
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: wavy Dubai-style dark chocolate covered chip. All right, it sounds okay.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: But it sounds like these are going to be They're
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: going to watch. The price is going to go way up.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: This is an excuse to sell you very expensive potato chips. Now,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Halloween is coming, but some towns, especially out in the suburbs,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: many towns and localities want to have curfews, strict curfews,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: because they're worried about trouble on Halloween, I guess. They want,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: now this is a little too early, a 7 p.m. curfew.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Long Branch, New Jersey has passed this. Warwick, New York,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: other towns. 7 p.m. curfew. That is not enough time.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, you want your kids to have dinner. I
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: guess you could eat early, 5 o'clock, go trick-or-treating. But
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that's like only an hour or two. Not enough trick-or-treating.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a time to really cash in.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Free candy everywhere. All right, here's another one. They call
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: this guy the godfather of AI. Uh... They call everybody
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the godfather of AI. This guy's Professor Geoffrey Hinton. All right.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: When you hear the word professor, run. If you hear
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the word professor, usually don't take anything they say seriously.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: He's a British-Canadian computer scientist who worked on the neutral
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: networks that paved the way for AI. It's also the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: story from The Telegraph, which is the sleaziest British paper.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't trust them at all. But the godfather of
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: AI claims humans had better be nice to the bots
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: or face extinction. The tech has apparently developed signs of consciousness. Now, remember,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: this stuff has always gone on. As we keep pointing out,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: they did this with electricity. When electricity was invented, they
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: thought it was going to be evil and wipe us
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: all out. And that's what caused the book Frankenstein to
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: be written. So, Take it with a big, big grain
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: of salt. I don't know. Hey, speaking of Ukraine, some
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: numbers coming out. You know, President Trump dramatically reduced our support,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: financial support of Ukraine. And it turns out since Trump
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: took office, we've only given 540 million. 540 million. Compare
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that to Biden, who gave them 130 billion. $ 130 billion.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: What did we get for it? Nothing. In fact, since
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Trump cut all the money down dramatically by like 99%,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Ukraine has been doing better. Maybe that's what pushed them
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: to develop all their own drones and their own missiles
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and their own weapons. Since we cut their money, they've
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: made incredible progress. So maybe we should cut it some more. Hey,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. Give
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: me a call, especially if you're a new caller. We
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: love to hear from new callers. 800-321-0710.
