  Speaker 1: Live from Midtown Manhattan, here comes the Mark Simone Show on.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: 710WOR.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Hey, it's Wednesday already. Well, it's practically Labor Day weekend.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: We're on the second day of September. This just breaking.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Tiger Woods, we heard he was going into court with
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: a plea deal on that DUI stuff. Well, he came back.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: He was going to trial. Supposedly, a plea deal was set. Well,
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: It just happened. The court just ruled Tiger Woods guilty,
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: but all he'll get is five years of a suspended license.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: He will lose his driver's license for five years. That's
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: the deal. His girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, that's the ex-wife of
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Don Jr., standing by him at the trial. It's a
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: good thing that he loses his license. He can certainly
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: afford to have a driver, and this is not the
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: first accident. This guy, he and Billy Joel, two guys
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: that should not be driving anywhere, a number of accidents, incidents.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: So he will not be able to, he will not
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: have a license for five years. He was pulled over,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: swerving all over the place, DUI. He told the officer
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: who pulled.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Him over, he.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: First didn't admit to being drunk or on drugs. He
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: said he was looking down at his phone. And he
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: was changing the radio station. That's why that happened. You know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: when the vehicle is overturned and they're trying to pull
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: you out of it, you can't claim, well, people change
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: the radio station all the time. Not everybody flips over
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: their car doing it. So obviously that wasn't it. That
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: was he trying to blame some talk show host who
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: got a little boring. So he had to change the
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: radio station. And that's what caused all this. Well, He
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: took a breathalyzer at the scene, and it wasn't good.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: They took him in. He refused a urine test. He
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: refused all kinds of stuff, but no license for five years.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: That's probably the best solution for everybody here. Make it
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: a lot safer to be driving around in Florida. Hey,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: this awful Times Square stabbing, this crazy nut of a woman,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: and this goes to show you What happens when you
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: decide to just let all the mental patients out and
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: not institutionalize them? It also shows what happens when you
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: put them on those psychotropic drugs. It says right in
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: the side effects, may cause homicidal behavior, maniacal behavior. And
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: this is what happens when a judge, you know, the Cuomo, Mamdani,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: no bail, no jail, let everybody loose. When this kind
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: of stuff happens, this is a woman who had a
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: number of incidents before. And every time was put back
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: on the street. She had two knives. She was in
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: her online stuff, her Twitter. In recent months, she was
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: talking about stabbing people for no reason online, posting it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: But she wanted to just go out and stab people
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: for no reason. So you've probably seen the video. It's
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: just horrible to watch. It's a bunch of cops trying
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: to stop this crazy woman with two knives and he's
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: spinning the knives around with her arms just spinning around
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: like windmills trying to cut somebody. They tried to taser
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: her at first. Now, it turns out, a lot of
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: people may not realize this, if you're fat, if you've
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: got a lot of body fat, the taser doesn't really
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: do much. The fatter you are, the less effective the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: taser is. So they couldn't make a direct hit. You've
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: got to hit the muscles. The taser has to hit
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: your muscles, and that's what does it. But if you're
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: really fat, You got layers of protection. So they did
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: hit her with a couple of tasers. One, uh, she
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: was carrying her purse around and one hit the purse.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: So that killed that one. And the other ones, they
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: just couldn't hit the muscles. They just kept hitting fat, uh,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: taser experts. So that's a big problem that people don't
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: realize if you're really fat, a taser is not going
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: to do much to you. Uh, This is a witness
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: that was watching this whole thing.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: There were so many police. Why didn't they grab her
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: by the arm?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she had mental problems.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: There were no signs this would have happened.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: This was all of a sudden because she's never been violent.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: But it was just a horrible situation. So it went
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: on for about four minutes, this woman confronting the police,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: trying to lunge at them with a knife. They tried
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the tasers. Finally, they had Had to shoot her and
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: kill her. But horrible situation. But isolated, I mean, there's
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: a lot of cases, a lot of crimes. And every
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: so often one just catches people's interest and it becomes
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: just front page news for days. And we've had stuff
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: like this before. Overall, we have a lot of listeners
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: around the country who all think New York is just violence, crazy.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: It looks like the movie Death Wish. No, it's really
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: not like that. You can walk all over Manhattan. It
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: looks like it always looked. It's just fine. Subway crimes
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: up a little, robberies up a little, rapes up a little.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: But most of Manhattan, most of New York is pretty
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: safe right now, despite that crazy mom, Donnie, who's driving
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: everybody nuts. Crazy Kathy Hochul, who's getting a lot of
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: flack for her hijab. Hijab Hochul. She was going to
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: speak at a Muslim... and she put on what was
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: supposed to be a hijab. It wasn't really, if you
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: look at it. It's supposed to cover your hair and
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: your neck. It was a big black scarf tied to
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: look like a hijab. I guess she's trying to be respectful,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: but it looked ridiculous. It looked like stupid pandering for Hochul.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: You know, one thing about the left that embraces the
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Muslim world, it's not very good to women. Women have
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: to cover up everything. Women are.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Not allowed to express themselves freely. So Hochul joining in
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: on that? I don't know. It's not a good idea.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: The hijab stuff, the video, you're going to see that
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: in a lot of campaign commercials later. Hey, good for
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Homeland Security, ICE. They came in and they got a
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: couple thousand very bad illegals, criminals off the streets of
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: New York. That's a great thing. Mark Wayne Mullen, Homeland
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Security Secretary, announcing they've arrested and gotten They'll deport them
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: a couple thousand. That's a couple thousand criminals out of
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: New York, thanks to Homeland Security.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Over the last 30 days, Operation Rotten Apple has taken
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: over 2,100 criminals off our streets. That's the worst of
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: the worst.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Criminals, rapists, robbers, 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
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: law enforcement, tries to cut NYPD's budget by $ 22 million
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: and refuses to work with federal law enforcement. You have
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: a governor that refuses to work with us.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine that? Imagine if you went into a
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: coma in the Bill Clinton era and woke up now
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: and found out that Democrats are trying to defund the police.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: They refuse to cooperate with law enforcement. If there's dangerous
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: illegal criminals walking around, they want them to have sanctuary.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: 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 NYPD budget.
• 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 3: So if somebody, a federal agency, came in and got
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: 2,100 criminals off your street, wouldn't you send them a
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: thank you note or something? Not Kathy Hochul, not Mom Donnie.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: They're fuming. They're furious.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: The Department of Homeland Security.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: The agency created in response.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: To 9-11 is withholding 40% of New York State's counterterrorism funding.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: We are talking about the money needed to fully fund
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: 12 bomb squads across New York. We are talking about
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the money needed to ensure that in the event of
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a catastrophic attack, the FDNY can communicate internally and respond effectively.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: They're not really withholding it. They're asking you to cooperate.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: With law enforcement, if you refuse to cooperate with them,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: you certainly can't take their money. You want their money? Cooperate.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Follow the rules if you want the money. And I'm
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: sure if Mamdani got this money, he'd put it right
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: into bomb squads, not some crazy, crazy stuff. It's just
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: an absolute mess, but good for Homeland Security. They want
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: to do this in Chicago, by the way. Chicago, crime
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: is out of control. You have 40 or 50 shootings
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: every weekend. Not every year, every weekend, 40 or 50
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: shootings in Chicago. So the federal government is offering to
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: come in and clean up the streets, just like they
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: did in Washington, D.C. Send in the FBI, Homeland Security,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: National Guard, whatever you need. Washington, D.C., violent, dangerous city.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Now it's safe. You can walk around at night. Everybody's
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: going out for the first time in a million years.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Restaurants are busy for the first time in years. They've
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: offered to do it for Chicago. Crazy Governor Pritzker, that's
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: a big, fat, Ralph Crandon-looking governor, refusing the help. Can
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: you imagine that?
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable. So, hey, they have this G20 summit, which is
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Scott Besson is our treasury secretary, our top economic officials.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: They have one of those in every country. So the
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: top 20 countries, it's actually about 25, but they still
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: call it the G20, all meet. Besson speaks to all
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: of them. It's probably a huge waste of time. I
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: don't know what the hell they actually accomplish at this thing.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: But Besson talked about a lot of stuff, including China.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: We've had very quiet conversations with Russia and China. And
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I think we can move that discussion forward. As I
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: said with China on Iran, we have more in common
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: than we have differences. China agrees Iran cannot have a
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: nuclear weapon. China agrees that there has to be free
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: maritime trade in the Strait of Hormuz. Yeah.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: And we've got an agreement with China. It's about as
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: good as an agreement with Iran. It never really holds up.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: What about Canada?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: We discussed AI. We discussed global imbalances where the Canadians
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: have been very strong.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: And we discussed.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: How do we put the trade situation back together. And
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I think that's going to have to be done at
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the leader's level.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Can you imagine discussing AI with Canada? Canada? They're
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: still using like Windows 3 up there. They still got
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: AOL chat rooms up there in Canada. That's the thing.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: We don't really need Canada for anything. They need us
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: for everything. So I don't really know what they're thinking
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: up there, how they're going to win this battle. But, hey,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: you got the midterms coming up. It was a good
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: sign in Massachusetts last night. They had their primary. And
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: in the primary in Massachusetts... Ed Markey won. Now, he's
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: a Democrat. He beat the up-and-coming crazy lunatic that everybody hates.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: So the old senior guy won in Massachusetts. The old-fashioned Democrat,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: that's a good sign. Now, Chuck Schumer might be encouraged
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: by that, but don't, because Ed Markey, as bad as
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: he is, an old fossil, he's a well-liked, loved Massachusetts guy.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: And a soft-spoken, nice Massachusetts, sort of an old-timer. But
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Schumer's not liked in New York. Nobody likes him. He's
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: a slimy, slimy, cheap politician. And Republicans, obviously, not going
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: to vote for him. And Democrats hate him now. So
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: everybody hates him. Schumer's got absolutely no shot at all. Now, traditionally,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: the president, when you get elected, you lose the midterms
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: two years in. It's tradition. Always happens. One or two exceptions,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: but 98% of the time you lose the midterm. So
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: it'd be normal for the president to lose it. But
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: this is Donald Trump. He's got two years left, year
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: and a half, two and a half. He's really concerned
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: about legacy, really concerned. So this would be a big
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: part of his legacy, defying the odds on this, winning
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: these midterms. So you'll see him do something in the last,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: it's really going to heat up in the next few weeks.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: It's September, October. That's where the campaign begins. And nobody
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: is better at pulling a rabbit out of his hat
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: than Donald Trump. So I think you'll see him pull
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: it off. Even the CNN pollster here.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: In fact, the polls underestimate the Republicans. It's 53 Republican
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Senate seats compared to 47 Republican seats. Maine, that stays red.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: How about a flip in Michigan where Abdul-Assad, very neck
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: and neck in the polls with Mike Rogers. Ohio stays red.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: Iowa stays red. Alaska stays red.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Now, I will note.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: I will note that even in this scenario, right, you
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: still get a situation where North Carolina stays blue and
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: Georgia stays blue. But Texas goes red. See you later.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: Ken Paxton gets elected to the United States Senate. No
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: James Tallarico.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: It's amazing this guy still works there. He's the CNN pollster,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: but he's always very honest and fair. He doesn't take
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: those fake polls seriously, but he still works at CNN somehow. Hey,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: these data centers have everybody terrified. Data centers, you know,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: it's just a big building and it makes a lot
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: of noise. It's just a noisy building is all it
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: basically is. But people are terrified of these data centers.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: You know, they see them coming to way out there somewhere.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: And then I don't know if you know this. Nobody's
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: ever mentioned this. We already have data centers in New York.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: We have a couple in New York City. There are
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: data centers here. Nobody ever points that out. In the
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: New York City tri-state area, there are 72 data centers.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: There's a few of them right here in New York.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: They're not the biggest data centers, but they're data centers.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: There's a bunch of them in lower Manhattan. They're in
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: New Jersey, right over there, Jersey City, Angle, that area.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: There's data centers around there. We got a bunch of
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: them around the tri-state area, 72 of them. And they've
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: been there for years, so I don't think people realize this.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: So these data centers, not as scary. As they make
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: them out to be. We'll get back to Canada. We've
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: got a lot of stuff to get to. And we've
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: got more on crazy Kathy Hochul. I think she's in trouble.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I think she's going to have a bad couple of
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: months coming up. We'll get to that ridiculous U.S. Open
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: and a whole lot more. Mark Simone here. 9 to noon.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: It's three hours every day now. 9 to noon on 710WOR.
