Hour 1: Tiger Woods is losing his license. · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Live from Midtown Manhattan, here comes the Mark Simone Show on.
0:07
Speaker 2: 710WOR. Hey, it's Wednesday already. Well, it's practically Labor Day weekend.
0:15
Speaker 2: We're on the second day of September. This just breaking.
0:19
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods, we heard he was going into court with
0:22
Speaker 2: a plea deal on that DUI stuff. Well, he came back.
0:27
Speaker 2: He was going to trial. Supposedly, a plea deal was set. Well,
0:30
Speaker 2: It just happened. The court just ruled Tiger Woods guilty,
0:35
Speaker 2: but all he'll get is five years of a suspended license.
0:39
Speaker 2: He will lose his driver's license for five years. That's
0:43
Speaker 2: the deal. His girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, that's the ex-wife of
0:48
Speaker 2: Don Jr., standing by him at the trial. It's a
0:53
Speaker 2: good thing that he loses his license. He can Certainly
0:56
Speaker 2: afford to have a driver. And this is not the
0:58
Speaker 2: first accident. This guy, he and Billy Joel, two guys
1:03
Speaker 2: that should not be driving anywhere. A number of accidents, incidents.
1:08
Speaker 2: So he will not be able to, he will not
1:11
Speaker 2: have a license for five years. He was pulled over,
1:13
Speaker 2: swerving all over the place. DUI. He told the officer
1:18
Speaker 2: who pulled him over, he first didn't admit to being
1:22
Speaker 2: drunk or on drugs or he said he was looking
1:25
Speaker 2: down at his phone and he was changing the radio station.
1:28
Speaker 2: That's why that happened. You know, when the vehicle is
1:33
Speaker 2: overturned and they're trying to pull you out of it,
1:38
Speaker 2: you can't claim, well, people change the radio station all
1:42
Speaker 2: the time. Not everybody flips over their car doing it.
1:45
Speaker 2: So obviously that wasn't it. How was he trying to
1:48
Speaker 2: blame some talk show host who got a little boring
1:50
Speaker 2: so he had to change the radio station and that's
1:52
Speaker 2: what caused all this? Well, he took a breathalyzer at
1:57
Speaker 2: the scene and it wasn't good. They took him in.
2:03
Speaker 2: He refused a urine test. He refused all kinds of stuff,
2:06
Speaker 2: but no license for five years. That's probably the best
2:10
Speaker 2: solution for everybody here. Make it a lot safer to
2:14
Speaker 2: be driving around in Florida. Hey, this awful Times Square stabbing,
2:19
Speaker 2: this crazy nut of a woman. And this goes to
2:23
Speaker 2: show you what happens when you decide to just let
2:26
Speaker 2: all the mental patients out and not institutionalize them. It
2:31
Speaker 2: also shows what happens when you put them on those
2:33
Speaker 2: psychotropic drugs. It says right in the side effects. May
2:37
Speaker 2: cause homicidal behavior, maniacal behavior. And this is what happens when...
2:44
Speaker 2: a judge, you know, the Cuomo, Mamdani, no bail, no jail,
2:48
Speaker 2: let everybody loose when this kind of stuff happens. This
2:51
Speaker 2: is a woman who had a number of incidents before
2:54
Speaker 2: and every time was put back on the street. She
2:57
Speaker 2: had two knives. She was, and her online stuff, her Twitter,
3:03
Speaker 2: in recent months, she was talking about stabbing people for
3:06
Speaker 2: no reason, online, posting it. But she wanted to just
3:10
Speaker 2: go out and stab people for no reason. So, You've
3:14
Speaker 2: probably seen the video. It's just horrible to watch. It's
3:16
Speaker 2: a bunch of cops trying to stop this crazy woman
3:19
Speaker 2: with two knives. And he's, you know, spinning the knives
3:24
Speaker 2: around with her arms are spinning around like windmills trying
3:26
Speaker 2: to cut somebody. They tried to taser her at first. Now,
3:32
Speaker 2: it turns out a lot of people may not realize this.
3:35
Speaker 2: If you're fat, if you got a lot of body fat,
3:38
Speaker 2: the taser doesn't really do much. The fatter you are,
3:42
Speaker 2: the less effective the taser is. So they couldn't make
3:45
Speaker 2: a direct hit. You've got to hit the muscles. The
3:48
Speaker 2: taser has to hit your muscles, and that's what does it.
3:50
Speaker 2: But if you're really fat, you've got layers of protection.
3:54
Speaker 2: So they did hit her with a couple of tasers.
3:57
Speaker 2: She was carrying her purse around, and one hit the purse,
3:59
Speaker 2: so that killed that one. And the other ones, they
4:02
Speaker 2: just couldn't hit the muscles. They just kept hitting fat.
4:06
Speaker 2: taser experts, that's a big problem that people don't realize.
4:08
Speaker 2: If you're really fat, a taser's not going to do
4:11
Speaker 2: much to you. Here's a witness that was watching this
4:16
Speaker 2: whole thing.
4:19
Speaker 3: There were so many police. Why didn't they grab her
4:21
Speaker 3: by the arm? Yeah, she had mental problems. There were
4:26
Speaker 3: no signs this would have happened. This was all of
4:29
Speaker 3: a sudden because she's never been violent.
4:31
Speaker 2: Well, uh, But it was just a horrible situation. So
4:36
Speaker 2: it went on for about four minutes, this woman confronting
4:39
Speaker 2: the police, trying to lunge at them with a knife.
4:41
Speaker 2: They tried the tasers. Finally, they had to shoot her
4:44
Speaker 2: and kill her. But a horrible situation. But isolated incidents.
4:51
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of cases, a lot of crimes.
4:55
Speaker 2: And every so often, one just catches people's interest and
4:58
Speaker 2: it becomes just front page news for days. And we've
5:02
Speaker 2: had stuff like this before. Overall, we have a lot
5:05
Speaker 2: of listeners around the country who all think New York
5:07
Speaker 2: is just violence, crazy. It looks like the movie Death Wish. No,
5:12
Speaker 2: it's really not like that. You can walk all over Manhattan.
5:14
Speaker 2: It looks like it always looked. It's just fine. Subway
5:17
Speaker 2: crimes up a little, robberies up a little, rapes up
5:20
Speaker 2: a little. But most of Manhattan, most of New York
5:24
Speaker 2: is pretty safe right now, despite that crazy Mom Donnie
5:28
Speaker 2: who's driving everybody nuts. Crazy Kathy Hochul. who's getting a
5:34
Speaker 2: lot of flack for her hijab hijab hokal she was
5:38
Speaker 2: going to speak at a muslim ceremony and she put
5:42
Speaker 2: on supposed to be a hijab it wasn't really if
5:45
Speaker 2: you look at it it's supposed to cover your hair
5:47
Speaker 2: and your neck uh it was a big black scarf
5:50
Speaker 2: tied to look like a hijab i guess she's trying
5:53
Speaker 2: to be respectful but it looked ridiculous it looked like
5:56
Speaker 2: stupid pandering uh for hokal uh You know, one thing
6:01
Speaker 2: about the left that embraces the Muslim world, it's not
6:06
Speaker 2: very good to women. Women have to cover up everything.
6:09
Speaker 2: Women are not allowed to express themselves freely. So Hochul
6:15
Speaker 2: joining in on that? I don't know. It's not a
6:16
Speaker 2: good idea. The hijab stuff, the video, you're going to
6:20
Speaker 2: see that in a lot of campaign commercials later. Hey,
6:23
Speaker 2: good for Homeland Security, ICE. They came in and they
6:27
Speaker 2: got a couple thousand very bad, illegals, criminals off the
6:32
Speaker 2: streets of New York. That's a great thing. Mark Wayne Mullen,
6:37
Speaker 2: Homeland Security Secretary, announcing they've arrested and gotten, they'll deport them,
6:43
Speaker 2: a couple thousand, that's a couple thousand criminals out of
6:47
Speaker 2: New York thanks to Homeland Security.
6:49
Speaker 4: Over the last 30 days, Operation Rottenapolis has taken over
6:55
Speaker 4: 2,100 criminals.
6:59
Speaker 2: Off our streets. That's the worst of the worst. Yeah. Criminals, rapists, robbers,
7:05
Speaker 2: gang members gone. Great news.
7:09
Speaker 4: Operation rotten apple was an operation we decided to take
7:14
Speaker 4: on because you have a very liberal slash socialist mayor
7:21
Speaker 4: here in New York city that instead of working with
7:26
Speaker 4: law enforcement, uh, tries to cut NYPD's budget by $ 22
7:32
Speaker 4: million and refuses to work with federal law enforcement.
7:37
Speaker 2: You have a governor that refuses to work with us.
7:40
Speaker 2: Can you imagine that? Can you imagine if you went
7:44
Speaker 2: into a coma in the Bill Clinton era and woke
7:47
Speaker 2: up now and found out that Democrats are trying to
7:51
Speaker 2: defund the police, they refuse to cooperate with law enforcement,
7:54
Speaker 2: if there's dangerous illegal criminals walking around? They want them
7:58
Speaker 2: to have sanctuary. They refuse to do anything about it.
8:01
Speaker 4: These are individuals that we took off the streets of
8:03
Speaker 4: New York to protect the people here because you have
8:06
Speaker 4: a mayor that refuses to work and actually, as I
8:09
Speaker 4: said earlier, is trying to cut the budget of NYPD
8:12
Speaker 4: by $ 22 million. He's extremely out of touch with what
8:19
Speaker 4: the American people want and what public safety actually looks like.
8:23
Speaker 2: So if somebody, a federal agency, came in and got
8:26
Speaker 2: $ 2, 100 million, criminals off your street, wouldn't you send them
8:31
Speaker 2: a thank you note or something? Not Kathy Hochul, not
8:34
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. They're fuming. They're furious.
8:36
Speaker 5: The Department of Homeland Security, the agency created in response
8:41
Speaker 5: to 9-11. is withholding 40% of New York State's counterterrorism funding.
8:47
Speaker 6: We are talking about the money needed to fully fund
8:50
Speaker 6: 12 bomb squads across New York. We are talking about
8:54
Speaker 6: the money needed to ensure that in the event of
8:57
Speaker 6: a catastrophic attack, the FDNY can communicate internally and respond effectively.
9:02
Speaker 2: They're not really withholding it. They're asking you to cooperate
9:07
Speaker 2: with law enforcement. If you refuse to cooperate with them,
9:09
Speaker 2: you certainly can't take their money. You want their money? Cooperate.
9:14
Speaker 2: Follow the rules if you want the money. And I'm
9:18
Speaker 2: sure if Mamdani got this money, he'd put it right
9:21
Speaker 2: into bomb squads, not some crazy, crazy stuff. It's just
9:27
Speaker 2: an absolute mess, but good for Homeland Security. They want
9:31
Speaker 2: to do this in Chicago, by the way. Chicago, crime
9:34
Speaker 2: is out of control. You have 40 or 50 shootings
9:37
Speaker 2: every weekend. Not Every year, every weekend, 40 or 50
9:43
Speaker 2: shootings in Chicago. So the federal government is offering to
9:47
Speaker 2: come in and clean up the streets, just like they
9:49
Speaker 2: did in Washington, D.C. Send in the FBI, Homeland Security,
9:54
Speaker 2: National Guard, whatever you need. Washington, D.C., violent, dangerous city.
9:59
Speaker 2: Now it's safe. You can walk around at night. Everybody's
10:01
Speaker 2: going out for the first time in a million years.
10:04
Speaker 2: Restaurants are busy for the first time in years. They've
10:07
Speaker 2: offered to do it for Chicago. Crazy Governor Pritzker, that's
10:10
Speaker 2: a big, fat, Ralph Crandon-looking governor, refusing the help. Can
10:14
Speaker 2: you imagine that?
10:15
Speaker 7: Unbelievable.
10:16
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. So, hey, they have this G20 summit, which is
10:23
Speaker 2: Scott Besson is our treasury secretary, our top economic officials.
10:28
Speaker 2: They have one of those in every country. So the
10:31
Speaker 2: top 20 countries, it's actually about 25, but they still
10:34
Speaker 2: call it the G20, all meet. Besson speaks to all
10:38
Speaker 2: of them. It's probably a huge waste of time. I
10:43
Speaker 2: don't know what the hell they actually accomplish at this thing.
10:46
Speaker 2: But Besson talked about a lot of stuff, including China.
10:48
Speaker 7: We've had very quiet conversations with Russia and China. And
10:52
Speaker 7: I think we can move that discussion forward. As I
10:55
Speaker 7: said with China on Iran, we have more in common
10:58
Speaker 7: than we have differences. China agrees Iran cannot have a
11:01
Speaker 7: nuclear weapon. China agrees that there has to be free
11:05
Speaker 7: maritime trade in the Strait of Hormuz.
11:08
Speaker 2: Yeah. And we've got an agreement with China. It's about
11:14
Speaker 2: as good as an agreement with Iran. It never really
11:16
Speaker 2: holds up. What about Canada?
11:18
Speaker 7: We discussed AI. We discussed global imbalances where the Canadians
11:24
Speaker 7: have been very strong.
11:26
Speaker 2: And we discussed.
11:28
Speaker 7: How do we put the trade situation back together. And
11:31
Speaker 7: I think that's going to have to be done at
11:33
Speaker 7: the leader's level.
11:34
Speaker 2: Yeah. Can you imagine discussing AI with Canada? Canada? They're
11:38
Speaker 2: still using like Windows 3 up there. They've still got
11:42
Speaker 2: AOL chat rooms up there in Canada. That's the thing.
11:49
Speaker 2: We don't really need Canada for anything. They need us
11:52
Speaker 2: for everything. So I don't really know what they're thinking
11:56
Speaker 2: up there, how they're going to win this battle. But, hey,
11:59
Speaker 2: you've got the midterms coming up. It was a good
12:01
Speaker 2: sign in Massachusetts last night. They had their primary. And
12:06
Speaker 2: in the primary in Massachusetts... Ed Markey won. Now, he's
12:11
Speaker 2: a Democrat. He beat the up-and-coming crazy lunatic that everybody hates.
12:16
Speaker 2: So the old senior guy won in Massachusetts. The old-fashioned Democrat,
12:24
Speaker 2: that's a good sign. Now, Chuck Schumer might be encouraged
12:27
Speaker 2: by that, but don't, because Ed Markey, as bad as
12:30
Speaker 2: he is, an old fossil, he's a well-liked, loved Massachusetts guy.
12:36
Speaker 2: And a soft-spoken, nice Massachusetts, sort of an old-timer. But
12:41
Speaker 2: Schumer's not liked in New York. Nobody likes him. He's
12:44
Speaker 2: a slimy, slimy, cheap politician. And Republicans, obviously, not going
12:51
Speaker 2: to vote for him. And Democrats hate him now. So
12:53
Speaker 2: everybody hates him. Schumer's got absolutely no shot at all. Now, traditionally,
12:59
Speaker 2: the president, when you get elected, you lose the midterms
13:02
Speaker 2: two years in. It's tradition. Always happens. One or two exceptions,
13:05
Speaker 2: but 98% of the time you lose the midterm. So
13:09
Speaker 2: it'd be normal for the president to lose it. But
13:12
Speaker 2: this is Donald Trump. He's got two years left, two
13:16
Speaker 2: and a half. He's really concerned about legacy, really concerned.
13:21
Speaker 2: So this would be a big part of his legacy,
13:23
Speaker 2: defying the odds on this, winning these midterms. So you'll
13:28
Speaker 2: see him do something in the last, it's really going
13:31
Speaker 2: to heat up in the next few weeks. It's September, October.
13:34
Speaker 2: That's where the campaign begins. And nobody is better at
13:38
Speaker 2: pulling a rabbit out of his hat than Donald Trump.
13:40
Speaker 2: So I think you'll see him pull it off. Even
13:42
Speaker 2: the CNN pollster here.
13:44
Speaker 8: In fact, the polls underestimate the Republicans is 53 Republican
13:49
Speaker 8: Senate seats compared to 47 Republican seats. Maine, that stays red.
13:54
Speaker 8: How about a flip in Michigan where Abdul-Assad, very neck
13:58
Speaker 8: and neck in the polls with Mike Rogers.
13:59
Speaker 2: Ohio stays red.
14:01
Speaker 8: Iowa stays red. Alaska stays red.
14:05
Speaker 2: Now, I will note.
14:07
Speaker 8: I will note that even in this scenario, right, you
14:10
Speaker 8: still get a situation where North Carolina stays blue and
14:15
Speaker 8: Georgia stays blue. But Texas goes red. See you later.
14:19
Speaker 8: Ken Paxton gets elected to the United States Senate.
14:22
Speaker 2: No James Tallarico. It's amazing this guy still works there.
14:25
Speaker 2: He's the CNN pollster, but he's always very honest and fair.
14:29
Speaker 2: He doesn't take those fake polls seriously, but he still
14:32
Speaker 2: works at CNN somehow. Hey, these data centers have everybody terrified.
14:38
Speaker 2: Data centers, you know, it's just a big building and
14:41
Speaker 2: it makes a lot of noise. It's just a noisy
14:43
Speaker 2: building is all it basically is. But people are terrified
14:47
Speaker 2: of these data centers. You know, they see them coming
14:48
Speaker 2: to way out there somewhere. And then I don't know
14:52
Speaker 2: if you know this. Nobody's ever mentioned this. We already
14:56
Speaker 2: have data centers in New York. We have a couple
14:59
Speaker 2: in New York City. There are data centers here. Nobody
15:03
Speaker 2: ever points that out. In the New York City tri-state area,
15:07
Speaker 2: there are 72 data centers. There's a few of them
15:10
Speaker 2: right here in New York. They're not the biggest data centers,
15:13
Speaker 2: but they're data centers. There's a bunch of them in
15:15
Speaker 2: lower Manhattan. They're in New Jersey, right over there, Jersey City, Angle,
15:21
Speaker 2: that area. There's data centers around there. We got a
15:25
Speaker 2: bunch of them around the tri-state area, 72 of them.
15:30
Speaker 2: And they've been there for years. So I don't think
15:32
Speaker 2: people realize this. So these data centers, not as scary.
15:36
Speaker 2: As they make them out to be. We'll get back
15:40
Speaker 2: to Canada. We've got a lot of stuff to get to.
15:43
Speaker 2: And we've got more on crazy Kathy Hochul. I think
15:47
Speaker 2: she's in trouble. I think she's going to have a
15:49
Speaker 2: bad couple of months coming up. We'll get to that
15:52
Speaker 2: ridiculous U.S. Open and a whole lot more. Mark Simone here.
15:56
Speaker 2: Nine to noon. It's three hours every day now. Nine
15:58
Speaker 2: to noon. On 710WOR. The Mark Simone Show. Nine till
16:04
Speaker 2: noon weekdays. More Mark. 710WOR. Well, hey, it's almost Labor Day.
16:13
Speaker 2: I know, I can't believe it. It's Labor Day weekend.
16:16
Speaker 2: You know, this was actually the longest summer we've had.
16:19
Speaker 2: I know it seems very short, but Labor Day is
16:22
Speaker 2: a week later than usual. Memorial Day was a week
16:25
Speaker 2: earlier than usual. So you're actually going through the longest
16:28
Speaker 2: summer of all. which felt like it just went by
16:33
Speaker 2: way too fast. Hey, a lot of the crazy left,
16:36
Speaker 2: the Democrats, now mad at Apple. First, it was Google. Now,
16:42
Speaker 2: Apple Maps is... Now, this is a left-wing site, media-ite, very,
16:46
Speaker 2: very left-wing site. Apple Maps caves to Trump on renaming
16:51
Speaker 2: Lake Ontario to Lake America. If you look on Google Maps,
16:55
Speaker 2: it'll say Lake America now. And now, if you look
16:57
Speaker 2: on Apple Maps... Who looks on Apple Maps? If you
17:01
Speaker 2: look on Apple Maps, it'll say Lake America. So the
17:05
Speaker 2: left-wing furious that they caved in, they're kowtowing, pandering to Trump. Well, actually,
17:11
Speaker 2: Google and Apple make the case, and it's a very
17:14
Speaker 2: good case, that that is officially the name now. It's
17:18
Speaker 2: not just Trump shooting his mouth off as some private citizen.
17:22
Speaker 2: He's the president of the United States, and his administration
17:25
Speaker 2: controls this. The U.S. Geographic Names Information System, the GNIS,
17:31
Speaker 2: has formally changed the name from Lake Ontario to Lake
17:36
Speaker 2: America in the United States. That is officially the name.
17:39
Speaker 2: It's not just Trump being Trump. It's officially the name now.
17:44
Speaker 2: So Apple had to do it. Now, what they do
17:48
Speaker 2: is the half, our half of that lake closest to us,
17:53
Speaker 2: that's Lake America. The upper half, closer to Ontario, that's
17:58
Speaker 2: Lake Ontario. So if you're in Canada looking at it,
18:00
Speaker 2: it'll say Lake Ontario. But if you're in Canada, you
18:05
Speaker 2: probably don't have Apple Maps yet. You're probably still using
18:09
Speaker 2: a Motorola flip phone or something, or maybe using one
18:12
Speaker 2: of those Palm Trios. Probably if you're in Canada, they're
18:15
Speaker 2: a little behind us up there. Hey, the House of
18:18
Speaker 2: Representatives passed a resolution saying condemning socialism on Tuesday. This
18:24
Speaker 2: is a democracy after all. You know, these Democrats love
18:29
Speaker 2: to yell, Trump, a threat to democracy. Well, of course not.
18:33
Speaker 2: But the real threat to democracy would be getting rid
18:36
Speaker 2: of it and going socialist. That's the ultimate threat to democracy.
18:40
Speaker 2: So it makes sense that you would vote for a
18:42
Speaker 2: resolution condemning socialism. It's the most un-American thing in the world.
18:48
Speaker 2: So you vote against it, obviously. Well, They took the
18:52
Speaker 2: vote and the resolution passed, but it was close. It
18:57
Speaker 2: was 220 to 192. And all the no votes, the
19:04
Speaker 2: pro-socialism votes, all the no votes came from Democrats. Only
19:10
Speaker 2: eight Democrats voted against it. Only eight voted against it.
19:19
Speaker 2: It was a resolution condemning socialism 192 Democrats voted no
19:24
Speaker 2: on this. So that's embarrassing. That is really stupid on
19:29
Speaker 2: the part of Democrats. But they're doing it on the record. So, hey,
19:33
Speaker 2: the U.S. pounding Iran last night, second time in two days.
19:38
Speaker 2: It's the Strait of Hormuz. Large, powerful strikes. Now, these
19:42
Speaker 2: are retaliatory because earlier in the week, the Iranians tried
19:49
Speaker 2: to put mines in the Strait of Hormuz. All the
19:51
Speaker 2: mines have been cleared from the Strait of Hormuz. The
19:55
Speaker 2: Strait of Hormuz is open. The, what they call the
19:57
Speaker 2: Southern corridor, the half along the Omani coast, it is open.
20:03
Speaker 2: Price of oil is down today. Uh, no, this is
20:08
Speaker 2: a big thing. Uh, keeping those mines out and they
20:12
Speaker 2: pretty much have the straight totally under us control. Our
20:15
Speaker 2: ships control it. And if they ever try to do anything, mines, whatever,
20:20
Speaker 2: we just blow them up instantly. Uh, CENTCOM is Admiral Cooper.
20:24
Speaker 2: He has what the, they call preemptive authority. When they're
20:28
Speaker 2: watching this live 24 seven with satellites, they're watching all
20:32
Speaker 2: activity along there. If they see anybody trying anything, he
20:35
Speaker 2: has the authority to just blow them up right then
20:37
Speaker 2: and there. It doesn't have to get permission from anybody.
20:40
Speaker 2: And that's what they've been doing. And then in addition
20:42
Speaker 2: to that, massive retaliatory strikes at Iran the last two nights.
20:48
Speaker 2: So Strait is open. President met yesterday with the heads
20:52
Speaker 2: of all the oil companies. And the talk was about
20:56
Speaker 2: lowering the price of oil, which you can do. We
20:58
Speaker 2: got more oil than we need. We're overflowing with oil
21:02
Speaker 2: right now. No reason to keep the price that high. Also,
21:05
Speaker 2: we got all the Venezuelan oil. We now have control
21:09
Speaker 2: of it. And once that comes online, it's going to
21:13
Speaker 2: be more oil than we've ever had, than we could
21:15
Speaker 2: ever use. We're now the biggest supplier in the world.
21:18
Speaker 2: The only thing holding back these oil companies from cutting
21:23
Speaker 2: the prices is they know at some point the Strait
21:27
Speaker 2: of Hormuz will be totally open. Oil will be flowing
21:30
Speaker 2: like crazy. And then they actually say that'll be too
21:33
Speaker 2: much oil. We will have a glut of oil, which
21:36
Speaker 2: will make the price crash. And that's what they're worried about.
21:40
Speaker 2: There's going to be a crash in oil prices coming soon.
21:44
Speaker 2: We love it. Oil companies, not too thrilled about it.
21:49
Speaker 2: You know who's been a great general in this battle
21:51
Speaker 2: is Scott Besson. I mean, his role is economic, but
21:56
Speaker 2: he has been just destroying Iran economically. Listen to him yesterday.
22:02
Speaker 7: We are tracking down the IRGC's assets in Iran. I
22:06
Speaker 7: will say it on World Wide TV, just so you know.
22:09
Speaker 7: We know where in the British Virgin Islands your accounts
22:13
Speaker 7: are at these trust companies. We know the $ 100 million
22:17
Speaker 7: houses you have around the world. And we are going
22:20
Speaker 7: to freeze those. We are going to, our partners, we
22:24
Speaker 7: are going to close all of that down.
22:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty good. So they've stopped all money, all revenue
22:31
Speaker 2: coming into Iran. It's been shut down for a couple
22:33
Speaker 2: of months now. No revenue has come in for months
22:37
Speaker 2: and months and months. We have oil coming through the
22:39
Speaker 2: Strait of Hormuz. They don't. They're losing about $ 500 million
22:42
Speaker 2: a day in revenue. So you've got that going on.
22:44
Speaker 2: Now you've got Besant trying to take the money they
22:46
Speaker 2: have and seize it, freeze it. Whatever money they've got
22:49
Speaker 2: stashed away, saved, so they're completely out of revenue. And
22:53
Speaker 2: whatever they've got saved, we're freezing. Besant doing a great
22:55
Speaker 2: job on that.
22:56
Speaker 7: So we are going to go after the regime's illegitimate
22:59
Speaker 7: assets that they have stolen from the Iranian people. And
23:02
Speaker 7: those can go back to the Iranian people or... They
23:05
Speaker 7: can go to the victims of terror, like the families
23:08
Speaker 7: of the soldiers who are on the USS Cole or
23:12
Speaker 7: in the Lebanese barracks.
23:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, or 9-11. So it's a great idea. We'll seize
23:16
Speaker 2: all of this stuff. It'll be billions. And then release
23:20
Speaker 2: it when the Iranian people take over their country once again.
23:24
Speaker 7: We will stop this regime's ability to have a nuclear weapon,
23:29
Speaker 7: to have their current highly enriched uranium, to project... terrorist
23:35
Speaker 7: power through their proxy networks and to terrorize the Gulf.
23:41
Speaker 7: So after 47 years, it is over. Yeah, good for Besant,
23:47
Speaker 7: one of the great generals in this war. And you
23:49
Speaker 7: should see the total collapse of the Iranian regime pretty soon. Now, remember,
23:54
Speaker 7: all these soldiers, IRGC, it's about 180,000 of them, haven't
23:58
Speaker 7: been paid for a couple of months. There's no chance
24:01
Speaker 7: of them ever getting paid anymore. So we'll see what happens.
24:04
Speaker 7: We've got a lot to get to, a lot coming up.
24:06
Speaker 7: We'll take some calls a little later on. Mark Simone here,
24:09
Speaker 7: 9 to noon every day on 710WOR.
24:14
Speaker 1: Mark Simone, live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
24:21
Speaker 2: Hey, we'll take some calls in a minute. 800-321-0710 is
24:23
Speaker 2: the number. All right, now this is interesting. The fear
24:29
Speaker 2: of these AI data centers. What is everybody afraid of?
24:32
Speaker 2: It's just a building. It's a big building, but it's
24:35
Speaker 2: just a building with computers in it. It's just a
24:37
Speaker 2: building with some servers in it. What are you so
24:39
Speaker 2: afraid of? Well, it uses too much electricity. Well, they
24:42
Speaker 2: figured out how to fix that problem with small little
24:46
Speaker 2: nuclear things. They used too much water. Well, they figured
24:49
Speaker 2: out how to solve that using recycled water. Now, the
24:54
Speaker 2: problem is the noise. These big powered turbines that cool
24:58
Speaker 2: the noise from those turbines. Well, I remember I said
25:02
Speaker 2: yesterday they'll figure out how to make those quiet. Well,
25:06
Speaker 2: that might be starting. You know, Elon Musk is about
25:09
Speaker 2: to build the biggest data center in the world. And,
25:13
Speaker 2: in fact, it will be the biggest building ever built
25:15
Speaker 2: in history. But, you know, there's two companies, two or
25:19
Speaker 2: three companies that make those turbines. It's kind of a
25:21
Speaker 2: little monopoly of these couple of companies. Elon Musk has
25:25
Speaker 2: decided he'll make his own turbines. He's going to make turbines.
25:31
Speaker 2: which the stock of those companies that already make them
25:34
Speaker 2: started plunging as he announced this. But knowing Elon Musk,
25:37
Speaker 2: he'll make them quiet. I mean, look at his car.
25:40
Speaker 2: Look at the Tesla. You ever hear a Tesla? It
25:42
Speaker 2: sounds like this. There's no sound. He'll figure out how
25:48
Speaker 2: to make a quiet turbine. He's making his own because
25:51
Speaker 2: he said he doesn't want to wait for these companies.
25:53
Speaker 2: And he thinks he can make them better. And he will,
25:55
Speaker 2: and he'll make them quieter. And then that'll be the
25:58
Speaker 2: end of the controversy. over AI data centers. They're going
26:01
Speaker 2: to be everywhere eventually in a couple of years, and
26:04
Speaker 2: nobody will ever remember that it was such a controversy.
26:07
Speaker 2: As I pointed out, we've got 72 of them already
26:10
Speaker 2: in the New York area. They've been here for years.
26:12
Speaker 2: Smaller ones, but they've been here for years. There's a
26:14
Speaker 2: couple right in lower Manhattan. Right in Manhattan, there's data centers.
26:17
Speaker 2: So it'll be pretty common by then. Let's take some calls.
26:22
Speaker 2: Let's go to Tom in the Bronx. Tom, how are
26:24
Speaker 2: you doing? Hey, Mark. First off, I want to say
26:28
Speaker 2: I disagree with the you had Steve Kuzo on the
26:31
Speaker 2: show the other day. Yeah. Crime is up in New York.
26:35
Speaker 2: It's just not getting recorded. You got it. Well, we
26:38
Speaker 2: gave all the actual facts there. Crime. When the commissioner
26:41
Speaker 2: says it's down, she keeps quoting the murder rate. Subway
26:45
Speaker 2: crime is up. Rape is up and robberies are up.
26:49
Speaker 2: So overall, the biggest crimes murder is down. But the
26:53
Speaker 2: little crimes and those are the ones that affect most people.
26:56
Speaker 2: They are up, as we've been saying, every day since
26:59
Speaker 2: the police commissioner made that claim. Let's go to Mike
27:02
Speaker 2: in Florida. Mike, how are you doing?
27:04
Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark.
27:05
Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
27:07
Speaker 9: You were speaking earlier about Hochul wearing the hijab. I
27:10
Speaker 9: think she's got to go full Berker. Have you seen
27:12
Speaker 9: that mug?
27:15
Speaker 2: Yeah. She was going into a Muslim center to make
27:18
Speaker 2: a speech. She thought she was wearing a hijab. It
27:22
Speaker 2: was just a big black scarf tied around her. And
27:25
Speaker 2: a hijab is supposed to cover your hair, cover your neck.
27:27
Speaker 2: Hers didn't. So, look, it offended everybody. The Muslims, the non-Muslims,
27:33
Speaker 2: everybody got offended by her. You mean her pandering? Yes,
27:38
Speaker 2: you were going to say. I'm sorry. Well, we get
27:41
Speaker 2: all upset when summer is coming to an end. It's
27:43
Speaker 2: the end of summer. It's a very sad time for us. Now,
27:45
Speaker 2: you live in Florida. People may not realize you're thrilled
27:48
Speaker 2: when summer's over, right? Because it's the worst season. Thrilled. Thrilled.
27:53
Speaker 9: Although it's still another six weeks or so of 90
27:55
Speaker 9: degree weather. And it's funny because all the pumpkin spices
27:58
Speaker 9: in Walmart and all the long sleeve clothes, the winter
28:01
Speaker 9: clothing is out. And it's like, guys, there's another six
28:04
Speaker 9: weeks of 90 degree weather and storms every afternoon. I
28:07
Speaker 9: don't know what you guys are preparing for. It's not winter. Yeah.
28:10
Speaker 2: So people don't realize they can't wait for Labor Day.
28:13
Speaker 2: They can't wait for summer to be over in Florida.
28:15
Speaker 2: It's the worst time of year. It's the worst. It's brutal.
28:20
Speaker 2: All right, Mike. Thanks for calling. You know, think back.
28:23
Speaker 2: Remember we had those two heat waves? Remember it was
28:25
Speaker 2: like 110 or something, whatever it was. Real fuel was
28:28
Speaker 2: like 110. You really couldn't go outside. It was just unbearable. Well,
28:31
Speaker 2: Florida's like that for about six months a year in
28:33
Speaker 2: the summer. So the end of summer is the nicest
28:37
Speaker 2: time of the year for them. Hey, you remember this?
28:40
Speaker 2: You know, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, the famous book. So
28:42
Speaker 2: you remember this author, Robert Kiyosaki? This was the self-help guru.
28:47
Speaker 2: who made a fortune teaching people the secrets of financial success.
28:54
Speaker 2: And boy, did he have a lot of followers because
28:56
Speaker 2: he would teach you how to be a huge success financially.
29:00
Speaker 2: He's now about 80 years old and it turns out
29:04
Speaker 2: he's 1.2 billion in debt. So if you've got a
29:09
Speaker 2: copy of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, throw it out. Just
29:12
Speaker 2: toss it out right now. The self-help guru, who taught
29:17
Speaker 2: you how to be rich. He had all these things.
29:20
Speaker 2: He's a billion two in debt, apparently over very bad investments.
29:27
Speaker 2: His wife says it's not their fault. They had partners
29:31
Speaker 2: in real estate ventures, and it's their fault. But it's
29:34
Speaker 2: his fault. It's his money, his investments. Uh, this enormous debt, uh,
29:39
Speaker 2: comes from his investment strategy. So I wouldn't listen to
29:42
Speaker 2: a thing. This guy says, you know, a lot of
29:44
Speaker 2: these self-help books, uh, these guys are experts, experts at
29:51
Speaker 2: how to make money off you outside of you, the book,
29:55
Speaker 2: the video outside of that, taking the class, uh, Outside
30:01
Speaker 2: of that, they don't know what the hell they're doing.
30:03
Speaker 2: It's like that Tony Robbins. He's got one talent in life.
30:07
Speaker 2: That is selling you his course. That's what he does.
30:11
Speaker 2: You can take that course. I don't know what the
30:12
Speaker 2: hell you're going to do with it, but he's an
30:14
Speaker 2: expert at getting money out of you for that course.
30:18
Speaker 2: That's about it. Hey, we were talking about that Times
30:21
Speaker 2: Square stabber. So I'm looking at her record. And again,
30:26
Speaker 2: this started with crazy left-wing politicians closing the mental institutions,
30:31
Speaker 2: letting these people out, crazy left-wing judges letting these people
30:35
Speaker 2: back on the street. This Times Square stabber has a
30:39
Speaker 2: long list of crazy incidents. 2016, belligerent, intoxicated, screaming, fighting
30:48
Speaker 2: with NYPD cops, Lexington Avenue. 2019, screaming and yelling in
30:54
Speaker 2: the subway station, then threw herself in front of an
30:57
Speaker 2: E train trying to commit suicide. And the judges kept
31:01
Speaker 2: letting her out over and over. And you got, I
31:04
Speaker 2: hate to say it, you got a bunch of these
31:05
Speaker 2: mentally ill people walking around. There's a number of these incidents.
31:12
Speaker 2: And you got crazy judges that have been put in
31:15
Speaker 2: there by crazy governors. Thank you, Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul.
31:19
Speaker 2: And thank you, Andrew Cuomo, for your no bail, no jail,
31:22
Speaker 2: let everybody run around loose. And remember, Andrew Cuomo was
31:25
Speaker 2: the guy that bragged about how he closed all the prisons.
31:28
Speaker 2: He was so thrilled about that. Hey, people have been
31:31
Speaker 2: complaining about prices. One of them is the cost of beef.
31:35
Speaker 2: That has nothing to do with Donald Trump. That has
31:38
Speaker 2: nothing to do with the government. The cattle supply had
31:43
Speaker 2: all kinds of problems. The herds had disease, infections. The
31:48
Speaker 2: herds were tinier than ever. That's what drove the price
31:51
Speaker 2: of beef up. So President Trump has removed all tariffs
31:56
Speaker 2: on beef imports for 90 days. That'll mean a ton
32:00
Speaker 2: of beef flowing into the country, like actually 300,000 tons
32:05
Speaker 2: will be coming in, 100,000 tons per month, all tariff-free.
32:10
Speaker 2: That should bring the price down about 30%. Now, it's
32:13
Speaker 2: only for 90 days. But apparently they know how to
32:17
Speaker 2: get that herd back up. Whatever the disease, all that
32:19
Speaker 2: stuff is, they've eradicated. So the president says in 90 days,
32:23
Speaker 2: the ranchers will have time to rebuild their herds. They're
32:27
Speaker 2: at a 75-year low right now. So that's good news. Hey,
32:32
Speaker 2: we were talking yesterday about New York booming. I mean,
32:36
Speaker 2: it's absolutely booming. You can't rent an apartment right now.
32:39
Speaker 2: The rental market has exploded. Very little inventory left as
32:44
Speaker 2: far as buying land. big condos, really expensive ones, really
32:50
Speaker 2: expensive apartments. It's increasing all the time. Sales are much
32:55
Speaker 2: bigger than last year. And we were talking about leasing.
32:59
Speaker 2: When it comes to offices and all that stuff, leasing
33:02
Speaker 2: is exploding. There's a frenzy of leasing. You know, there's
33:06
Speaker 2: a new building going up, Madison Avenue and 60th Street.
33:10
Speaker 2: It's going to be a 60-story skyscraper. General Atlantic just
33:15
Speaker 2: signed a huge lease, 150,000 square feet, five floors of
33:20
Speaker 2: the building. And there's a bunch of these skyscrapers going up,
33:24
Speaker 2: what they call the supertalls. There's a bunch of 60-, 80-,
33:27
Speaker 2: 90-story skyscrapers going up. And companies are leasing the space
33:31
Speaker 2: like crazy. Many of them have sold out already. So
33:35
Speaker 2: this talk about New York's over, New York's finished, New
33:37
Speaker 2: York's collapsing, it's actually booming right now. Real estate agents, commercial, residential,
33:44
Speaker 2: are making a fortune right now. Hey, we'll get to
33:48
Speaker 2: the silly U.S. Open. I'm not a tennis fan. We'll
33:52
Speaker 2: get to this U.S. Open. I'm sure it's great tennis,
33:56
Speaker 2: but what do you hear all the ways people are
33:58
Speaker 2: exploiting these tennis fans, making a fortune off them? And
34:03
Speaker 2: what do you hear how dumb these people are to
34:05
Speaker 2: pay what they're paying for this stuff? We'll get to
34:07
Speaker 2: that coming up. Don't forget, it's three hours every day.
34:09
Speaker 2: It's nine to noon. I start at 9 every day,
34:12
Speaker 2: 9 to noon. Then at noon, you got Buck Sexton
34:15
Speaker 2: and Clay Travis. They're really interesting to listen to every
34:18
Speaker 2: day at 12 noon. 3 o'clock, you got the most
34:21
Speaker 2: listened to radio show in America, Sean Hannity. You got
34:24
Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly at 6 every night. The very funny Jimmy Fallon.
34:29
Speaker 2: Listen to his show. You'll get addicted every night. It's
34:31
Speaker 2: 9 to midnight here on 710WOR. Well, I'm looking over
34:35
Speaker 2: this forecast. I mean, the detailed one.
34:37
Speaker 1: It's not as bad as they make it sound with
34:40
Speaker 1: this rain. There could be a very good chance of
34:42
Speaker 1: some rain around 2 o'clock this afternoon.
34:59
Speaker 2: There's a very good chance around seven o'clock. I know
35:02
Speaker 2: I took that back. The 34% chance at seven. So
35:06
Speaker 2: a little rain this afternoon and then late tonight after 11,
35:10
Speaker 2: you could see some rain, but that's about it. Uh,
35:13
Speaker 2: so it's not rain all day. It's not continuous all
35:16
Speaker 2: day long. And then tomorrow actually doesn't look like a
35:19
Speaker 2: lot of rain. Uh, no, no, tomorrow should be pretty good.
35:24
Speaker 2: And then Friday you're fine. Uh, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
35:28
Speaker 2: it'll be great. Nice, dry, sunny Labor Day weekend. So
35:33
Speaker 2: it'll be cloudy all day today, but a shower here
35:36
Speaker 2: and there. And the same thing tomorrow, but a lot
35:38
Speaker 2: of it will be dry. So we've got a lot
35:40
Speaker 2: to get to in the next hour. We'll get to
35:42
Speaker 2: that crazy Anna Wintour. I think they're getting ready to
35:44
Speaker 2: throw her the hell out of that Met Gala. And
35:47
Speaker 2: nobody deserves it more than her. And we'll get to
35:50
Speaker 2: that silly U.S. Open and a whole lot more. We'll
35:54
Speaker 2: get back to Kathy Hochul. And New York is not dying.
35:58
Speaker 2: I'll give you some more numbers. You will not believe
36:01
Speaker 2: how well New York is doing right now, real estate-wise, rental-wise.
36:05
Speaker 2: People moving here. There's more people coming here than leaving
36:09
Speaker 2: right now. And we'll get to all of that in
36:11
Speaker 2: the next hour. Don't forget, it's 9 to noon every day.
36:13
Speaker 2: It's three hours, 9 to noon. Back after the news
36:16
Speaker 2: on 710WOR.
