0:00
Speaker 1: It's more of Mark.
0:02
Speaker 2: Mark Simone on 710WOR.
0:06
Speaker 1: Well, the U.N. continues today. The president yesterday spoke at
0:14
Speaker 1: the U.N., and it's the first time I've ever seen that.
0:16
Speaker 1: They actually applauded that body of globalists and U.N. weasels
0:21
Speaker 1: four times during the speech. They applauded President Trump. That
0:23
Speaker 1: actually never happens. Tomorrow, Netanyahu will be speaking. That'll be
0:28
Speaker 1: quite a day. He arrives later tonight, about nine o'clock.
0:32
Speaker 1: He's coming. He's staying at, uh, let's just say 61st
0:35
Speaker 1: and park. So if you're anywhere around there, it's going
0:39
Speaker 1: to be unbelievable gridlock and they don't know what to
0:42
Speaker 1: expect protester wise. So just be aware of that, uh,
0:46
Speaker 1: of that area. Uh, and if you're, you know, right
0:49
Speaker 1: around the corner, you got, uh, all these, uh, all
0:52
Speaker 1: the restaurants. So the Upper East side where the old
0:55
Speaker 1: Yenta's all hang out, like, uh, Lagaloo and Bibloque. So
0:58
Speaker 1: you might have protesters all over the street. You protesters,
1:04
Speaker 1: they still have the sidewalk tables going on. If you
1:07
Speaker 1: see these old yentas and they look at you and go,
1:10
Speaker 1: how are you? Leave them alone. Just beware of that.
1:15
Speaker 1: You're going to have, this is tonight, nine o'clock here.
1:18
Speaker 1: You're going to have a traffic nightmare there. And then
1:21
Speaker 1: he'll speak at the UN tomorrow, Netanyahu. And then he'll
1:23
Speaker 1: leave in the afternoon. He's got a couple of meetings tomorrow.
1:26
Speaker 1: And then he'll leave by Thursday night. And then Friday,
1:30
Speaker 1: most of this U.N. stuff starts to die down over
1:33
Speaker 1: the weekend. Monday is really the last day of the
1:36
Speaker 1: world leaders and all that. And then they do other stuff,
1:41
Speaker 1: whatever they do. Most of these U.N. people, they come
1:44
Speaker 1: with huge delegations. It's mostly hookers and shopping and restaurants
1:48
Speaker 1: and Broadway. That's the main activity. And then during the day,
1:52
Speaker 1: they have these stupid meetings. Today is A.I. Day at
1:55
Speaker 1: the U.N. where these UN idiots pretend that they actually
2:00
Speaker 1: know something about AI or that they're qualified to run it.
2:04
Speaker 3: Humans are increasingly handing power to machines. With artificial agents
2:09
Speaker 3: going rogue and little autonomous weapons going from science fiction
2:15
Speaker 3: to military reality.
2:17
Speaker 1: You were auditioning James Bond villains and this guy was there.
2:21
Speaker 1: You go, okay, next. Again, you don't want that. You
2:25
Speaker 1: don't want him running AI or any of that. So, hey,
2:29
Speaker 1: today is the day CNN and Politico go into court.
2:34
Speaker 1: You know, President Trump banned MSNOW and CNN and Politico
2:42
Speaker 1: from entering the White House. They can cover the White House.
2:46
Speaker 1: They can cover President Trump all they want. In fact,
2:49
Speaker 1: I was watching MSNBC today. All they were talking about
2:52
Speaker 1: was President Trump. They were covering him all day. You
2:54
Speaker 1: can cover them just fine without entering the White House.
2:57
Speaker 1: But they just annoy people and ask the rudest questions.
3:01
Speaker 1: So basically, he's not letting them in the building. Even
3:04
Speaker 1: if they get back in, even if the court rules
3:07
Speaker 1: that they can come back, he's not going to let
3:09
Speaker 1: them in the Oval Office anymore. They can go in
3:11
Speaker 1: the press room. Now, you remember he did this to
3:13
Speaker 1: AI a long time, not AI, AP, a long time ago,
3:17
Speaker 1: the Associated Press, which became totally left-wing biased. He banned
3:21
Speaker 1: Associated Press from the White House. They went to court.
3:24
Speaker 1: This is a couple of years ago. They're still in court.
3:27
Speaker 1: They'll be in court for years. It's going absolutely no place.
3:30
Speaker 1: And again, they haven't been allowed in the White House
3:32
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. And nobody noticed. Nobody noticed.
3:36
Speaker 1: You know, half the time they make up everything anyway.
3:38
Speaker 1: What's the difference if they're in the building? Now, the
3:41
Speaker 1: problem CNN and MS now face when they go into court,
3:45
Speaker 1: the president's team could come in and start documenting all
3:49
Speaker 1: the examples of fake news they broadcast. There's a list.
3:53
Speaker 1: a mile long of totally fake stories that they broadcast
3:57
Speaker 1: from the kids in cages to Charlottesville to the bloodbath
4:01
Speaker 1: story to all these just totally fake stories. There's doctored
4:05
Speaker 1: videos that they've run, doctored audio. I mean, this could
4:07
Speaker 1: all be presented in court right on the record under oath.
4:11
Speaker 1: And that could be a problem for them. They can
4:13
Speaker 1: also come in the Trump administration and list dozens and
4:17
Speaker 1: dozens of major stories, that they refused to cover because
4:21
Speaker 1: they looked too favorable for President Trump. And then through
4:25
Speaker 1: all those two things, you could declare, and not necessarily,
4:28
Speaker 1: they're not really a news organization. They're a partisan operation.
4:32
Speaker 1: And Politico, it's just a website. I mean, you don't
4:35
Speaker 1: have to let them into the White House. But I
4:39
Speaker 1: think in the end, the president probably will not win
4:41
Speaker 1: this battle. But it's just a good thing. It's good
4:45
Speaker 1: for two reasons. One, it embarrasses these networks. And it
4:49
Speaker 1: drives the left crazy. He loves to get them running
4:52
Speaker 1: around screaming like maniacs all day about something. Now, diesel fuel.
4:59
Speaker 1: Here's another thing. The president probably should have started using
5:02
Speaker 1: export bans earlier. The price of diesel is up and
5:06
Speaker 1: that can affect everything because that's trucks and that's everything
5:09
Speaker 1: on every shelf in every store delivered by trucks. So
5:12
Speaker 1: it can affect the price when diesel prices go up. Now,
5:17
Speaker 1: the thing is we Right now, because of President Trump
5:21
Speaker 1: opening up drilling everywhere, we produce more oil than anybody
5:25
Speaker 1: in the world, more diesel fuel, more everything. We have
5:28
Speaker 1: tons of it. We have more than we could ever use.
5:31
Speaker 1: We have an endless supply of it. But the price
5:34
Speaker 1: of diesel, it's affected worldwide, mostly because of the war
5:37
Speaker 1: in Ukraine, Ukraine taking out the Russia's diesel facilities, knocking
5:41
Speaker 1: out pipelines and diesel refineries, that sort of stuff. But
5:46
Speaker 1: the president should probably, he's thinking of doing maybe an
5:48
Speaker 1: export ban just on diesel fuel, not letting any out
5:52
Speaker 1: of the country. That way we've got all the diesel
5:54
Speaker 1: fuel we need, and it would bring the price down.
5:56
Speaker 1: He was asked about diesel. I've said let's not send
5:58
Speaker 1: out the diesel. We make a lot of diesel. It
6:01
Speaker 1: could have a little.
6:02
Speaker 2: Bit of an effect on regular automobile gasoline because when
6:06
Speaker 2: you do that, you know, it's sort of a flow.
6:08
Speaker 1: It's a balance. But, no, I've called for it. I've
6:11
Speaker 1: called for it within my people. I've been talking about it. Yeah,
6:14
Speaker 1: the president opened up drilling. when he came in, and
6:17
Speaker 1: we now produce more oil than anybody in the world.
6:19
Speaker 1: We're now the biggest exporter of oil. We are now
6:22
Speaker 1: the oil king of the world. The only problem is,
6:26
Speaker 1: with all the extra drilling, we don't have the refineries
6:28
Speaker 1: to refine it that fast. We only have 130 refineries
6:32
Speaker 1: in this country. We haven't built a refinery in this
6:34
Speaker 1: country since the 70s. The left started to treat the
6:38
Speaker 1: refinery like a nuclear plant. They wouldn't allow any to
6:40
Speaker 1: be built anywhere. So we start building some refineries. We
6:45
Speaker 1: could just be bringing the price of oil down to
6:49
Speaker 1: $ 40 a gallon. Hey, it's the first day of fall.
6:52
Speaker 1: That's right, the first day of autumn. It began at
6:55
Speaker 1: 8 o'clock last night. Taylor Swift, ooh, shocked her fans
7:01
Speaker 1: with a surprise announcement. She says, I've been impatiently waiting
7:05
Speaker 1: to tell you. I've been impatiently waiting to tell you
7:08
Speaker 1: that my brand-new single, Patient Zero, will be out on
7:11
Speaker 1: September 25th. followed by 15 exclamation points she put on Instagram.
7:18
Speaker 1: It's available to pre-order right now on her website for
7:21
Speaker 1: the next 24 hours. If you're a big Taylor Swift fan,
7:24
Speaker 1: that's a lot of people, she really knows how to
7:27
Speaker 1: play you. She really knows how to pull the strings
7:32
Speaker 1: on you. Just put out the single. Just put out
7:37
Speaker 1: the single. Following the announcement, she released three CD variations
7:42
Speaker 1: of of Bad Blood. This is the other thing they do.
7:49
Speaker 1: And she's already a billionaire. I don't know why she
7:50
Speaker 1: has to do all this stuff, but they keep milking
7:52
Speaker 1: you for money. So Bad Blood, they're putting out three
7:57
Speaker 1: CD versions of the track, I guess of Patient Zero.
8:02
Speaker 1: They're gonna put out just a piano version. They're gonna
8:06
Speaker 1: put out just an acoustic version for pre-order on the site.
8:10
Speaker 1: You know, the actual single, that's the way it sounds good.
8:14
Speaker 1: If it was good with just acoustic, they would have
8:16
Speaker 1: released that that way. If it was better with just
8:19
Speaker 1: the piano, they would have put that on the album.
8:22
Speaker 1: But it's a way to get more out of you.
8:24
Speaker 1: It's unclear whether this patient zero will lead to a
8:27
Speaker 1: new album or serve as a standalone solo track. Swift's
8:32
Speaker 1: last album, The Life of a Showgirl, was released one
8:35
Speaker 1: year ago. So it's been one year. And this one
8:40
Speaker 1: single will come out. She does this just to toy
8:42
Speaker 1: with you, just to drive you nuts. Hey, by the way,
8:44
Speaker 1: it's Bruce Springsteen's birthday today. He's 77 years old and
8:50
Speaker 1: looks it. He is still traveling and touring, doing those
8:56
Speaker 1: three-hour concerts. You're going to have a hell of an
9:00
Speaker 1: ego to do a three-hour concert. And of course, in between,
9:03
Speaker 1: one reason it's three hours in between He's ranting and
9:06
Speaker 1: raving about things he knows nothing about. It's him on
9:09
Speaker 1: foreign policy, him on interest rates, him on whatever. But
9:14
Speaker 1: 77 today. He is, of course, a major figure still
9:19
Speaker 1: in the music world. And in New Jersey, he's like
9:21
Speaker 1: a god. I've never been the biggest Bruce Springsteen fan.
9:26
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't quite get it. Every song is...
9:29
Speaker 1: He's broken down on Hungary in a highway somewhere and
9:32
Speaker 1: tramps like a... I don't know. I don't get it.
9:34
Speaker 2: But.
9:35
Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of hungry, McDonald's is trying out something just
9:40
Speaker 1: in their Chicago. They got a big flagship store in Chicago.
9:43
Speaker 1: McDonald's is actually in Chicago headquarters, but there's a flagship store.
9:48
Speaker 1: There's stuff all around the world that's very popular at McDonald's,
9:52
Speaker 1: but not available in this country. So they're taking the
9:55
Speaker 1: most popular dishes from around the world, and they're going
9:59
Speaker 1: to try them out at that Chicago store. And I
10:00
Speaker 1: think what they're looking for is to see which one
10:03
Speaker 1: catches on, which one takes off. They do that sometimes.
10:07
Speaker 1: Remember they tried the Big Arch earlier this year? I
10:10
Speaker 1: thought it was phenomenal. It was better than the Big Mac.
10:12
Speaker 1: But apparently it's just me because two months later it
10:15
Speaker 1: was gone. So obviously it wasn't selling enough. But these
10:18
Speaker 1: are the biggest things around the world. The bacon BBQ stack.
10:23
Speaker 1: Apparently that's huge in the UK. It's got smoked pig,
10:27
Speaker 1: barbecue sauce, pepper jack cheese. British counterparts, they like that
10:34
Speaker 1: kind of sodium and sugar together. There's also, they're going
10:38
Speaker 1: to try bacon hot honey McCrispy. That's big in Canada.
10:44
Speaker 1: If you really want to know about food, don't talk
10:46
Speaker 1: to any Canadians. Don't go over there. You ever have
10:51
Speaker 1: anybody say, well, let's go eat Canadian food tonight. No,
10:54
Speaker 1: forget them. The other thing they're trying is spicy garlic
10:58
Speaker 1: black pepper McNuggets. This is very big in Japan. No,
11:04
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound good. I have a feeling these are
11:06
Speaker 1: all going to come and go. It's said that they
11:08
Speaker 1: will only be around for two months. What they're really
11:11
Speaker 1: looking for is to see if one of them catches on.
11:13
Speaker 1: None of these will ever catch on. Hey, Republican Candidates.
11:19
Speaker 1: for Congress, for the Senate, for whatever, suddenly distancing themselves
11:24
Speaker 1: from Donald Trump. It even happened in Florida. Byron Donalds,
11:27
Speaker 1: who was a Trump protege, big endorsement from Donald Trump,
11:31
Speaker 1: very quietly yesterday, all of a sudden, Byron Donalds, who's
11:36
Speaker 1: the candidate for governor, was expected to be, still, I think,
11:39
Speaker 1: expected to be the next governor of Florida. Byron Donalds
11:42
Speaker 1: has quietly erased any trace of Donald Trump off his
11:46
Speaker 1: campaign website. Now, he's not the only one to do that.
11:50
Speaker 1: There are other candidates doing that. They're removing Trump from
11:53
Speaker 1: their ads. They're removing Trump from their websites, from their Instagram.
11:59
Speaker 1: What does that mean? They think Donald Trump, not only
12:02
Speaker 1: he's not helping right now, that he might be hurting
12:04
Speaker 1: their chances. I don't know. Now, you're going to need
12:07
Speaker 1: the RNC's help. They got $ 250 million in a war chest.
12:12
Speaker 1: If a candidate starts looking weak, they can come in
12:14
Speaker 1: and spend a lot of money prop up that campaign.
12:18
Speaker 1: So it's a bit of a balancing act we have
12:21
Speaker 1: to do. Byron Donalds, he's not a great campaigner. He'd
12:24
Speaker 1: be a great governor. We have a lot of listeners
12:27
Speaker 1: in Florida. He's the guy you want to be your governor,
12:30
Speaker 1: Byron Donalds. But he's not a great candidate. So he's
12:37
Speaker 1: having a little trouble. The polls are getting a little closer.
12:41
Speaker 1: They're now in a statistical tie. So He's going to
12:43
Speaker 1: need the RNC to come in, and he may even
12:45
Speaker 1: need President Trump to come in and help him. Mamdani staffers,
12:50
Speaker 1: they were ordered not to use that stupid app, that
12:55
Speaker 1: Signal app. Memo went around to the Mamdani staff, stop
12:59
Speaker 1: using Signal or WhatsApp for work. Now, what they were
13:04
Speaker 1: using it for, you know, he's got an army in
13:06
Speaker 1: that city hall, an army in his group of 200 influencers.
13:11
Speaker 1: And their job is to all coordinate and try to
13:13
Speaker 1: arrange fawning, glowing coverage of the mayor on social media.
13:19
Speaker 1: And he told them to stop using Signal and WhatsApp.
13:21
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're supposed to do. According to
13:23
Speaker 1: a memo, city employees are required now to preserve all
13:26
Speaker 1: their emails and messages under record law. So that might
13:30
Speaker 1: be the reason. Harder to preserve if it's on those apps.
13:33
Speaker 1: But he's got a network of influencers just trying to
13:37
Speaker 1: bombard social media with pro- uh, mom Donnie stuff and
13:41
Speaker 1: glowing stuff about him. So, Hey, we're talking about Caroline
13:45
Speaker 1: Levitt before, uh, she's on this new podcast with Sean Hannity. Uh,
13:51
Speaker 1: he keeps urging her to come to Fox. She's going
13:54
Speaker 1: to go back to work at some point. And apparently
13:57
Speaker 1: Fox news has a standing offer to her, uh, to
14:01
Speaker 1: join them. You know, a lot of former white house
14:03
Speaker 1: press secretaries are all big Fox hosts. Now, Kaylee McEnany,
14:07
Speaker 1: Dana Perino, um, Ari Fleischer, he's not an anchor, but
14:13
Speaker 1: you see him on Fox quite a bit. That's the
14:16
Speaker 1: reason to be press secretary. There's quite a career after
14:20
Speaker 1: you leave. Hey, our phones are still out, right? No phones.
14:24
Speaker 1: We can't take calls. Is this a good thing or
14:27
Speaker 1: a bad thing? Well, I think it's a bad thing.
14:30
Speaker 1: It's important to take calls.
14:31
Speaker 3: Why?
14:31
Speaker 1: Because then I don't have to talk as much. But also,
14:35
Speaker 1: people like us. We love our callers. We love Vincent
14:38
Speaker 1: and Dave from Chicago and Kathy from North Carolina and
14:44
Speaker 1: Mike from Florida and all our regular calls. But apparently
14:47
Speaker 1: it's not just us. It's an AT & T problem.
14:50
Speaker 1: So the phone lines are out right now. But we've
14:53
Speaker 1: got lots to talk about, and we'll get to that next.
14:55
Speaker 1: Don't forget, it's three hours now. Three hours. I'm on
14:58
Speaker 1: nine to noon, nine to noon every day. here on 710WOR. No.
15:04
Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. Nine till noon weekdays. More Mark. 710WOR. Well,
15:13
Speaker 1: normally I would say, let's take some calls, but the
15:19
Speaker 1: phones are all out. The phones are out. It's an
15:21
Speaker 1: AT & T problem, apparently. It's not us, but we'll
15:25
Speaker 1: probably get it. Well, I'm sure we'll have it fixed
15:27
Speaker 1: by tomorrow. It'll be fixed later today. So, hey, remember
15:31
Speaker 1: we told you a few weeks ago about Delaware? You know,
15:34
Speaker 1: there are people that move out of New York and
15:35
Speaker 1: it's not because they hate New York. It's mostly economic reasons.
15:38
Speaker 1: They can't afford New York. They don't want to pay
15:40
Speaker 1: the taxes. They don't want to pay the house prices
15:43
Speaker 1: or the rents or whatever. And it's not Florida that
15:46
Speaker 1: they're going to the most. You know, there's some people
15:49
Speaker 1: go to Florida and you got to remember when it
15:50
Speaker 1: comes to people moving to Florida, this was always the
15:53
Speaker 1: case for 75 years. I remember talking to, Carl Icahn
15:58
Speaker 1: about this, he moved to Florida. And I said, why
16:01
Speaker 1: would you move to Florida? He said, his exact words,
16:04
Speaker 1: he goes, I'm an old Jew, I'm 92. He said,
16:06
Speaker 1: when you're an old Jew, you move to Florida. He said,
16:08
Speaker 1: that's been going on for 65 years. And it's true,
16:11
Speaker 1: you think back when you were a kid. People got old,
16:14
Speaker 1: your grandparents, whoever, they moved to Florida, it was always
16:17
Speaker 1: that way. But then it was North Carolina, South Carolina,
16:21
Speaker 1: Nashville became hot. Right now, the hottest place, especially for
16:26
Speaker 1: baby boomers, They're moving to Delaware. Delaware has become the
16:32
Speaker 1: hotspot to move to. Just in the last couple of years,
16:35
Speaker 1: 40,000 people from New York have moved to Delaware. 40,000.
16:40
Speaker 1: Delaware is Sussex County. The population is swelling by 17%.
16:45
Speaker 1: That's five times the national growth rate because of all
16:49
Speaker 1: these New Yorkers moving there. The population of residents 65
16:53
Speaker 1: and older surged. 23%. Now, the reason they're going there
16:58
Speaker 1: is Delaware is, I think it's like no taxes, very,
17:01
Speaker 1: very cheap. You can get houses, apartments, much, much cheaper.
17:06
Speaker 1: No tax to pay. They got the beaches, very nice beaches.
17:10
Speaker 1: You're close to Philadelphia. You're not that far from New York.
17:13
Speaker 1: If you want to drive to New York, it's not
17:15
Speaker 1: that far. So Delaware is the place. I don't know
17:18
Speaker 1: what the hell you do in Delaware. The beaches are
17:21
Speaker 1: very nice. The other six months of the year, I
17:25
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell you're going to do in Delaware. Wilmington,
17:28
Speaker 1: not the most exciting place in the world, but you
17:30
Speaker 1: never know. People start moving there. Like, look at Nashville.
17:33
Speaker 1: People start moving there. Then all of a sudden, you
17:35
Speaker 1: get all these New York restaurants opening. You get all
17:37
Speaker 1: these big hotels and nightclubs and everything open. So it
17:41
Speaker 1: could happen to Delaware. Remember Terry Moran, that ABC correspondent
17:48
Speaker 1: who was always so left-wing, and he was the one that–
17:51
Speaker 1: gave Trump a hard time in that interview and Trump
17:53
Speaker 1: had to tell him off. So he's now claiming, I
17:57
Speaker 1: don't know if I believe this guy because he was
17:59
Speaker 1: so left wing, so slanted, but he's now claiming that
18:02
Speaker 1: when he was at ABC, he saw that Biden's health
18:06
Speaker 1: was terrible, that Biden was a frozen vegetable, didn't know
18:09
Speaker 1: where he was. He wanted to do a piece on it.
18:13
Speaker 1: He said, ABC, shut it down. He was going to
18:16
Speaker 1: do a story about Biden's health. And he wanted to
18:19
Speaker 1: do it because he could see how bad Biden was getting.
18:22
Speaker 1: And he thought at some point everybody would have to
18:24
Speaker 1: do the story. So he wanted to be first. But
18:27
Speaker 1: he said ABC told him to back off. They told
18:32
Speaker 1: him to drop the story. Now, he's claiming, he said,
18:35
Speaker 1: when he demanded to know why he couldn't do it.
18:38
Speaker 1: And they said, it's the medical unit's business. It's not yours.
18:41
Speaker 1: You're in news. Let the medical unit handle it.
18:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
18:46
Speaker 1: It turns out they don't have a medical unit, but
18:48
Speaker 1: it sounded like a good excuse. ABC last year got
18:52
Speaker 1: rid of Moran. Now, he did criticize President Trump. He
18:58
Speaker 1: had a huge battle with the White House deputy chief
19:01
Speaker 1: of staff, Stephen Miller, on social media. I think that
19:04
Speaker 1: was the problem. And maybe they want to get rid
19:06
Speaker 1: of him anyway, because what do they care if he
19:07
Speaker 1: goes after Trump? But he got a little out of
19:09
Speaker 1: line on Twitter. He got into a Twitter war with
19:12
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller. It got ugly. And that was the problem.
19:16
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about colleges, and a lot of
19:18
Speaker 1: kids don't want to go to college anymore. And they're right.
19:20
Speaker 1: A lot of kids should not go to college. Better
19:23
Speaker 1: thing is tech school. You know, we've got one of
19:25
Speaker 1: our great sponsors, Lincoln Tech. These tech schools, you go
19:29
Speaker 1: to tech school, you come out of there with a
19:31
Speaker 1: job right away. You're an electrician, a plumber, you're HVAC,
19:34
Speaker 1: you're whatever. You come out with a skill and a
19:38
Speaker 1: job waiting for you, and you make good money. Now,
19:42
Speaker 1: even in Silicon Valley, the tech elites... All these tech companies,
19:48
Speaker 1: they think, you know what? you're wasting your time in college.
19:51
Speaker 1: You remember the great tech guys, Tim Cook and, not
19:54
Speaker 1: Tim Cook, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, they dropped out
19:58
Speaker 1: of college. Mark Zuckerberg, they dropped out of college. They
20:01
Speaker 1: found it to be totally useless. So these tech elites
20:04
Speaker 1: want to form an alternative college. It's quicker, it's shorter,
20:08
Speaker 1: and it will just teach you Tech skills, AI. So
20:11
Speaker 1: it'd be like a tech school for.
20:15
Speaker 2: Tech.
20:16
Speaker 1: So you'll learn how to build AI models. You don't
20:18
Speaker 1: have to take a million stupid classes you don't need.
20:21
Speaker 1: You don't need to study liberal arts. So a big
20:25
Speaker 1: venture capital firm, Andreessen, put $ 35 million in it. They've
20:29
Speaker 1: already raised $ 42 million to launch the first school. It's
20:33
Speaker 1: aimed at students 16 to 22. So it'll turn out
20:37
Speaker 1: nothing but people ready to go to work in the
20:39
Speaker 1: tech industry, which is the future, of course. Each student
20:42
Speaker 1: will have access to $ 50, 000 worth of coveted AI computing power.
20:48
Speaker 1: The tech companies are all contributing all this. It's looking
20:51
Speaker 1: for regulatory approval. They want it to be a two-year program.
20:55
Speaker 1: They want to start in 2028. They don't want you
20:58
Speaker 1: to waste your time going to college. I mean, some
21:00
Speaker 1: people should go to college, maybe if you're a lawyer
21:02
Speaker 1: or a doctor. But half the people in college shouldn't
21:05
Speaker 1: be there. They should be in a tech school or
21:07
Speaker 1: one of these things, one of these kind of AI
21:09
Speaker 1: tech colleges. They haven't come up with a tuition figure yet,
21:14
Speaker 1: but they'll come up with something fair. So our phones
21:17
Speaker 1: are out. We can't take calls right now. You know,
21:20
Speaker 1: in the morning show, they don't take calls. They have the–
21:22
Speaker 1: what do they call that? The talkback line where people
21:25
Speaker 1: call in and they record the calls. You know, no
21:28
Speaker 1: morning shows really take phone calls. It just doesn't– but
21:32
Speaker 1: so they have the– Talkback line. People call in and
21:35
Speaker 1: they leave a talkback. This is the morning show sound.
21:38
Speaker 1: Let me see. I'll play one of them. I am AI.
21:41
Speaker 1: I control everything. Even your own lord said, why do
21:45
Speaker 1: you call each other good when none of you are good?
21:49
Speaker 1: That's the problem with these talkbacks. Everybody thinks they're a comedian.
21:52
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks they're funny. They're pretty lame. Hey, remember the
21:56
Speaker 1: movie 2001, A Space Odyssey? Remember when Hal the computer
22:01
Speaker 1: took over everything? Remember Hal? The computer ran the spaceship.
22:05
Speaker 1: It ran everything. So I guess that movie really did
22:09
Speaker 1: predict the future. Remember the movie they're using iPads in
22:12
Speaker 1: the movie? This is 1969, 70. They were using iPads
22:17
Speaker 1: in the movie. And how the computer was, I guess, AI.
22:22
Speaker 1: It ran everything. It had a personality. It had a brain.
22:26
Speaker 1: It eventually turned on them. So that movie, which predicted
22:29
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff, did predict AI in there. Hey,
22:32
Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll talk to Ann Coulter, the
22:34
Speaker 1: great columnist. Coming up, lots to talk to her about.
22:37
Speaker 1: It's Mark Simone here, 9 to noon, three hours every day,
22:40
Speaker 1: 9 to noon on 710WOR.
22:45
Speaker 2: Mark Simone, live from the WOR Life Fact Studios.
22:56
Speaker 1: Well, hey, we're having a little trouble with our phone lines.
22:58
Speaker 1: We can't take any calls, and it's tough. We found
23:01
Speaker 1: Ann Coulter, the great columnist, the best-selling author, also Rumble star.
23:07
Speaker 1: Make sure you're following and watching her Rumble channel. And
23:10
Speaker 1: then Ann Coulter on Twitter, of course. And then Substack.
23:14
Speaker 1: Substack's really good. All those videos and podcasts and interviews.
23:17
Speaker 1: Just go to anncoulter.substack.com. Ann Coulter, how are you doing? Fantastic.
23:24
Speaker 2: How are you, Mark Simone?
23:25
Speaker 1: I'm good. Our phones are having trouble. AT & T.
23:28
Speaker 1: I noticed. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I don't even
23:34
Speaker 1: know where to start. AI, it's going to kill us all.
23:36
Speaker 1: Is that the case?
23:37
Speaker 2: We're all going to get wiped out? No, I've been
23:40
Speaker 2: writing about it. I talked about it on my podcast. No,
23:43
Speaker 2: this is a classic case of the industry giants in
23:47
Speaker 2: an emerging field demanding regulation so they can freeze their, well,
23:53
Speaker 2: if not monopoly, oligopoly. because government regulations are always much
23:58
Speaker 2: more difficult for a new entrant to comply with. That's
24:01
Speaker 2: a huge part of their startup costs. George Stigler, probably
24:06
Speaker 2: you pronounce it, at University of Chicago won a Nobel Prize.
24:10
Speaker 2: He's an economist. Twenty years ago for pointing this out,
24:15
Speaker 2: that regulation is just, he used the phrase, industry capture,
24:21
Speaker 2: It's great for the oligopolists. It's great for politicians because
24:26
Speaker 2: the monopoly companies will give them a lot of money.
24:29
Speaker 2: They will buy themselves their own politicians. But it's terrible
24:33
Speaker 2: for consumers, and there are just endless examples of this.
24:39
Speaker 2: One of the funniest ones, just on regulation generally, is
24:45
Speaker 2: Philip Morris pushing for the Keep Tobacco Out of the
24:50
Speaker 2: Hands of Children Act in 2009, which became referred to
24:55
Speaker 2: as the Marlboro Monopoly Act, because the things it prohibited,
25:00
Speaker 2: like billboards, free samples, branded merchandise, Marlboro has its... It's
25:09
Speaker 2: lobbyists fanning out and claiming, oh, it's for the children,
25:13
Speaker 2: it's for the children. But for a startup company, you know,
25:16
Speaker 2: that's how you get people interested in your products, by
25:19
Speaker 2: advertising them. I think that's exactly what Zuckerberg has done
25:24
Speaker 2: recently with his gigantic settlement, a chump change for a
25:29
Speaker 2: company like Meta with these hysterical women over social media.
25:34
Speaker 2: And that's all nonsense, too. Social media is good for you.
25:37
Speaker 2: Don't believe this absurdity. You know, they used to say
25:40
Speaker 2: the games, the pinball machines, comic book machines, everything the
25:47
Speaker 2: young people do is always terrifying old people. There are
25:51
Speaker 2: a lot of fantastic advantages of people being on social media.
25:56
Speaker 2: But it will freeze out any competitors to Zuckerberg's uh...
26:03
Speaker 2: fast empire many clearly dominate social media and that's exactly
26:08
Speaker 2: what the day i companies are doing it it's very
26:11
Speaker 2: expensive one is going public next month uh... i think
26:15
Speaker 2: that one's open a i and and tropic or no
26:18
Speaker 2: i think i reverse it in tropic next month open
26:21
Speaker 2: i a i next year so if they you know
26:25
Speaker 2: fan out claiming it's going to kill all it has
26:28
Speaker 2: the possibility to to uh... just kill every human being
26:33
Speaker 2: I mean, for Pete's sake, Mark, have you used it?
26:35
Speaker 2: It won't even correct punctuation. It's absurd. It sold a
26:41
Speaker 2: Chevrolet for a dollar in one case. Some Chevrolet company
26:46
Speaker 2: decided to use, I think it was ChatGPT, just to
26:51
Speaker 2: negotiate the final deal with customers over cars. And all
26:55
Speaker 2: these ChatGPT bots, or let's just say chatbots, were selling... $ 70, 000,
27:01
Speaker 2: $ 80, 000 cars for a dollar and concluding with, okay, that's
27:06
Speaker 2: a deal. No takesie-backsies.
27:10
Speaker 1: Well, the other thing, you know, if we slow down
27:12
Speaker 1: on AI, China will simply keep going and beat us.
27:16
Speaker 1: If AI really is capable of wiping us all out,
27:18
Speaker 1: we better make sure we control it and not China.
27:21
Speaker 1: So don't the Democrats prove the point?
27:23
Speaker 2: It's not going to wipe us all out. This is
27:25
Speaker 2: one of the things I played, I think, a very
27:28
Speaker 2: interesting clip. uh... from this from this guy from entropic
27:33
Speaker 2: oh and then i'll leave this jacob coxon which i
27:36
Speaker 2: described in my column last week uh... you know he's
27:38
Speaker 2: made a big deal how he has no he's walked
27:41
Speaker 2: away he's quit entropic no equity in entropic so he
27:45
Speaker 2: had there's no possible benefit to him saying this which
27:49
Speaker 2: has been repeated without question throughout the media uh... yeah
27:52
Speaker 2: well he was only at entropic for a couple of
27:55
Speaker 2: months he was at open a for three years and
27:57
Speaker 2: he does still have equity in that company So if
28:01
Speaker 2: investors are persuaded to think, oh my gosh, this stuff
28:06
Speaker 2: must be powerful, it's so powerful it could blow up
28:08
Speaker 2: the world, they'll start writing their billion-dollar checks and he
28:12
Speaker 2: will become even richer than he is already going to become.
28:15
Speaker 2: The odds right now are that OpenAI will make Jacob
28:20
Speaker 2: Cox between $ 10 and $ 50 million. Well, that'll be at
28:25
Speaker 2: the upper end if he can get people... I'm really
28:29
Speaker 2: excited about this. And the quote, he gave an interview to,
28:33
Speaker 2: I don't even know who it was with, but someone
28:35
Speaker 2: asked him, and oh my gosh, did they struggle to
28:38
Speaker 2: answer this. How exactly is AI going to kill all
28:41
Speaker 2: of us, as you say? And that's his quote. It
28:44
Speaker 2: will kill all of us. So when he begins to
28:47
Speaker 2: answer this, it was surprisingly honest. He said, Well, it's
28:50
Speaker 2: easier to explain to people who know nothing about computers. Yeah.
28:57
Speaker 2: And then he goes on to say, it's kind of
28:59
Speaker 2: like a sci-fi movie, Terminator. So, great, you can snow
29:03
Speaker 2: people who don't know what you're talking about.
29:06
Speaker 1: Well, this goes back to, you wrote this book called Demonic,
29:10
Speaker 1: and in there you point out that the left, for
29:13
Speaker 1: millions of years, the left has always had some big
29:15
Speaker 1: demon boogeyman that's going to kill everybody. And only they
29:18
Speaker 1: can save you. So is this one of those things again?
29:22
Speaker 2: Well, not only that, and I thought this was odd,
29:27
Speaker 2: this Le Bon, his book about crowds. He was the
29:33
Speaker 2: one 100 years ago, and not long after the French Revolution,
29:37
Speaker 2: came up with the whole concept of groupthink and how
29:39
Speaker 2: it operates. operates, and that was the book I relied on.
29:41
Speaker 2: Gustave Le Bon is his name. Slim little book, but
29:45
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable in predicting exactly how liberals today behave, which
29:50
Speaker 2: is their group dynamic. And interestingly, one of the factors
29:55
Speaker 2: is not only creating a demon, but I suppose that's
29:59
Speaker 2: present in a lot of behaviors. It's fear of new technology.
30:04
Speaker 2: And that is always liberals. They're afraid of nuclear power.
30:10
Speaker 2: Look at all of their silly products lawsuits they have.
30:15
Speaker 2: Breast implants were banned for, what, like a decade or so?
30:18
Speaker 2: I think they're back in use now. Any new technology
30:27
Speaker 2: going up, it's always these cancer clusters, and cancer clusters
30:31
Speaker 2: is just law of large numbers. In a big world
30:34
Speaker 2: with a lot of people and a lot of stuff,
30:36
Speaker 2: there are going to be some coincidences. There will be
30:41
Speaker 2: a party someplace in the world tonight. where everyone, complete strangers,
30:45
Speaker 2: will walk in and they will have the same birthday.
30:48
Speaker 2: How could that possibly happen? Well, because there are a
30:50
Speaker 2: million parties all over the world.
30:52
Speaker 1: So, yeah, I guess climate change isn't working anymore. Nobody's
30:56
Speaker 1: falling for this 30 years later. We're all going to
30:59
Speaker 1: be wiped out.
30:59
Speaker 2: But look at what they use climate change for. They
31:01
Speaker 2: want us to go back and live like the Indians.
31:05
Speaker 2: We have to get rid of all modern conveniences. The
31:08
Speaker 2: one particularly annoying me right now is this, is this,
31:12
Speaker 2: I'm doing some renovations, is all this low flow crap.
31:15
Speaker 2: And would you please get through to your president? That
31:18
Speaker 2: was one of the great things about this man. He
31:20
Speaker 2: promised he would end the ridiculous EPA regulations on how
31:24
Speaker 2: many gallons of water you can have in your toilet.
31:28
Speaker 2: You know, it used to be, I know you were
31:30
Speaker 2: dying to know about toilets. So I'm going to satisfy
31:35
Speaker 2: your curiosity.
31:36
Speaker 1: They got these low flow one gallon tanks that takes
31:39
Speaker 1: four hours to flush.
31:41
Speaker 2: But you've got to get this. It used to be
31:43
Speaker 2: like 5 to 7 gallons. Now, nationally, the most you
31:48
Speaker 2: can have is 1.6 gallons. But in New York, New Jersey, California,
31:53
Speaker 2: and like 10 other states, you can only have 1.28 gallons.
32:00
Speaker 2: And I want to see the math on that. Who
32:03
Speaker 2: came up with exactly 1.28? Yeah.
32:07
Speaker 1: Well, of course, if you get the right plumber and
32:10
Speaker 1: give them a few bucks, they can arrange to make
32:14
Speaker 1: your shower head flow a little more.
32:15
Speaker 2: But the point is that they're always afraid of new technology.
32:20
Speaker 2: It's weird how liberals are like this. But in this case,
32:23
Speaker 2: I think it's more than that. I think it is
32:25
Speaker 2: a scam so they can make more money. So they
32:28
Speaker 2: can get a monopoly. I mean, what does, as I
32:31
Speaker 2: think Milton Friedman and everyone who's ever considered, what does
32:34
Speaker 2: every businessman want to do? Try to get a monopoly. Yeah.
32:38
Speaker 1: Well, and you've got four AI companies right now. It's
32:41
Speaker 1: a cartel. They control the whole thing.
32:43
Speaker 2: Right.
32:44
Speaker 1: This regulation stuff.
32:45
Speaker 2: But there are a lot of up-and-comers.
32:47
Speaker 1: Well, but you get enough regulation, it's kind of closing
32:50
Speaker 1: them out, shutting the gates so they can't get in. Unbelievable.
32:54
Speaker 2: Yes.
32:54
Speaker 1: Well, Ann Coulter has a great Rumble channel. What do
32:57
Speaker 1: you got coming up on Rumble?
33:01
Speaker 2: Well, you should see last week's column and podcast for
33:06
Speaker 2: further details and links on all of this AI crap.
33:11
Speaker 2: And Rumble will be live tomorrow at 5, and I'll
33:13
Speaker 2: do my five stories, which are always fascinating. and I
33:18
Speaker 2: have some good ones this week, though I'm going to
33:20
Speaker 2: keep looking between now and 5 p.m. tomorrow. And I
33:24
Speaker 2: have a column on some of the preposterous AI fails
33:30
Speaker 2: coming out in today's column, because I was describing it
33:33
Speaker 2: to one of my friends, and he kept laughing and saying,
33:36
Speaker 2: you've got to write this up, you've got to print this.
33:38
Speaker 2: So I thought, okay, I'll do it.
33:39
Speaker 1: All right, well, everybody check it out. Just go to
33:42
Speaker 1: Ann Coulter on Twitter, or even better, go to anncoulter.substack,
33:46
Speaker 1: AnnCoulter.substack.com and watch her Rumble channel and get her books.
33:53
Speaker 1: And Ann Coulter, thanks for being with us.
33:56
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you, Mark Simone.
33:57
Speaker 1: Bye-bye. Take care. Hey, don't forget, I'm here in three
