FULL SHOW: Fed rate hike day; Trump's focus. · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Live from Midtown Manhattan, here comes the Mark Simone Show on.
0:07
Speaker 2: 710WOR.
0:08
Speaker 3: Well, hey, a big show today. Everybody always says that
0:12
Speaker 3: when they open. It's always a big show. Jam-packed. Nobody
0:16
Speaker 3: ever opens by saying, eh, not so great today. No, actually,
0:19
Speaker 3: we've got a lot to talk about. We'll get to
0:21
Speaker 3: the AI, whatever the hell this PSYOP operation is to
0:26
Speaker 3: convince you that AI is going to kill you. We'll
0:29
Speaker 3: get to the Fed rate. It could be raised. Everybody's
0:32
Speaker 3: expecting a quarter of a point raise later today. We'll
0:35
Speaker 3: get to Iran and what their real strategy is. We'll
0:39
Speaker 3: get to Mamdani, his latest crazy scheme in the war
0:43
Speaker 3: on cars. And we'll get to the Carnegie Deli. It
0:48
Speaker 3: reopened yesterday. I was there. It was pretty interesting. I'll
0:52
Speaker 3: give you all the details. Hey, check out my Instagram.
0:56
Speaker 3: You can see some pictures. MarkSimone.com. NYC at Instagram. Well,
1:03
Speaker 3: let's see. The Fed rate will probably go up. Everybody's
1:07
Speaker 3: expecting a quarter point raise. That will happen later today
1:11
Speaker 3: when they make the announcement. As a result, actually, stocks
1:15
Speaker 3: are up. Futures are up. The market's not open yet,
1:18
Speaker 3: but futures are up. And let me just see here. Yeah,
1:22
Speaker 3: oil prices down a little, still way too high. but
1:26
Speaker 3: oil prices, uh, a dollar for a barrel for, uh, WTI,
1:30
Speaker 3: the American oil, uh, the rest of the world using
1:33
Speaker 3: Brent crude. That's at one Oh seven. It's very high,
1:35
Speaker 3: way too high. Now, if, uh, if, uh, we had
1:39
Speaker 3: a great government here in New York or California or somewhere,
1:43
Speaker 3: they would help the public with that. Remove the gas
1:47
Speaker 3: tax and fees in the state right now. Cause here
1:49
Speaker 3: in New York, it's 50 cents a gallon in tax.
1:52
Speaker 3: Just remove it for 30 days. Uh, Price will probably
1:56
Speaker 3: come down in 30 days. Just remove that gas tax
1:58
Speaker 3: for 30 days. California should do the same thing. It's
2:03
Speaker 3: 75 cents a gallon. 75 cents a gallon is the
2:08
Speaker 3: tax in California. Here in New York, it's 50 cents
2:11
Speaker 3: a gallon. Plus, you've got almost 20% federal taxes. It
2:15
Speaker 3: should all be removed for 30 days. I know it
2:19
Speaker 3: pays for the roads and all, but we've watched them
2:23
Speaker 3: repair these roads. They're not so good at it. But
2:27
Speaker 3: we'll see. The real Iran strategy is exactly what they've
2:31
Speaker 3: done historically. They did this with Jimmy Carter when they
2:34
Speaker 3: held our hostages. And Carter tried every which way to
2:39
Speaker 3: get them back. We tried a ridiculous rescue operation. We
2:43
Speaker 3: tried to negotiate everything, trying to get those hostages back.
2:46
Speaker 3: When did Iran release them? When did they finally give in?
2:50
Speaker 3: The second after the election. As soon as Reagan got elected,
2:54
Speaker 3: they turned them over immediately. In fact, it was while
2:57
Speaker 3: Reagan was being sworn in, during the swearing-in ceremony of Reagan,
3:02
Speaker 3: during the inauguration, as his hand hid the Bible, Iran
3:06
Speaker 3: put those hostages on a plane and had them flown back.
3:10
Speaker 3: So same strategy here. They're waiting for the midterm elections.
3:13
Speaker 3: They're praying, hoping the Democrats win, thinking the Democrats will
3:17
Speaker 3: stop the war, shut it all down. That's what they're
3:20
Speaker 3: waiting for. If the Republicans win the election, The House,
3:26
Speaker 3: the Senate, you can be sure Iran will be on
3:30
Speaker 3: the phone one second later offering a peace deal. So
3:34
Speaker 3: that's what they're waiting for. They did it with Carter.
3:37
Speaker 3: They're doing it now. They'll wait till just after the
3:39
Speaker 3: election to settle. And again, it's their usual pattern. So
3:43
Speaker 3: the big problem, the reason for the big spike in
3:46
Speaker 3: oil here over the last few days is Iran got
3:50
Speaker 3: the Houthis mobilized again. And got them armed and financed.
3:54
Speaker 3: Iran uses various terrorist groups, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and others.
3:59
Speaker 3: And they got the Houthis to attack a Saudi pipeline.
4:03
Speaker 3: And they took out a pipeline, an important pipeline that
4:07
Speaker 3: the Saudis used to get oil out. Now, the good
4:10
Speaker 3: news is to repair that pipeline takes about two weeks.
4:13
Speaker 3: So a week and a half from now, that pipeline
4:16
Speaker 3: will be operating again. And you've got to protect it.
4:18
Speaker 3: But apparently you can protect the pipeline. You'll need swarms
4:21
Speaker 3: of drones. to do it. They're going to need more drones.
4:25
Speaker 3: They're actually looking to Zelensky in the Ukraine, who has
4:28
Speaker 3: now become the biggest drone manufacturer in the world. Nobody
4:32
Speaker 3: turns out more drones and he's been able to protect
4:35
Speaker 3: his stuff with these drones. So Saudi's looking to make
4:37
Speaker 3: a deal with him, uh, to get that going. So, uh, uh,
4:43
Speaker 3: Mamdani's got this crazy scheme. Uh, if you hear the speech,
4:48
Speaker 3: it's about, uh, trying to cut down on traffic deaths and, uh, accidents,
4:53
Speaker 3: cars hitting people. Well, that's great. That's wonderful. That's a
4:55
Speaker 3: good thing to do. But if you look into the
4:59
Speaker 3: fine print of this plan, which has got like a
5:01
Speaker 3: thousand components to it, then most of it, most of
5:07
Speaker 3: it is stuff we're not going to like. Bike lanes everywhere,
5:11
Speaker 3: bike lanes on top of bike lanes, reducing a lot
5:14
Speaker 3: of streets. The number of lanes, Park Avenue would have
5:18
Speaker 3: a huge pedestrian mall in the middle of it. Many
5:20
Speaker 3: streets would be converted to pedestrian only. Of course, this
5:23
Speaker 3: is absolutely crazy. This is insane stuff. It's the war
5:28
Speaker 3: on cars. And it sounds good to people that don't drive,
5:33
Speaker 3: but it isn't. It affects you in a million ways.
5:35
Speaker 3: Just take a look at Times Square. And it was
5:37
Speaker 3: Bloomberg that did that. And you remember, he decided to
5:40
Speaker 3: make a massive pedestrian mall right in the middle of
5:44
Speaker 3: Times Square. It just snarled up traffic, which had already
5:47
Speaker 3: been horrific. Now it's even worse. The Broadway community, furious
5:52
Speaker 3: about this. They've been trying for years to undo that
5:55
Speaker 3: pedestrian mall. Makes it tougher and tougher and tougher to
5:59
Speaker 3: get to a Broadway show, to leave a Broadway show.
6:02
Speaker 3: It's made a traffic situation that was already horrible, even worse.
6:06
Speaker 3: Also remember, we're in New York. Six months of the year,
6:10
Speaker 3: it's cold. You're not going to sit outside in the
6:12
Speaker 3: pedestrian mall. You know, they put these tables and chairs.
6:15
Speaker 3: There's winter in winter. Who's going to sit out there?
6:19
Speaker 3: So Mamdani wants to do that with more and more
6:22
Speaker 3: and more streets. Absolutely ridiculous. So just keep an eye
6:29
Speaker 3: on this plan. Now, the good news with Mamdani is
6:31
Speaker 3: he talks a lot and gets very little done. 99%
6:34
Speaker 3: of the stuff he says never happens. He's not a manager.
6:38
Speaker 3: He doesn't know how to execute, doesn't know how to
6:40
Speaker 3: get it done. So that's the good news. The other
6:42
Speaker 3: part of that cutting down traffic accidents, which is a
6:45
Speaker 3: good thing to do, of course, is reducing the speed
6:49
Speaker 3: limit everywhere. Everywhere. 15 miles an hour in some places.
6:55
Speaker 3: Did you ever try to drive 15 miles an hour?
6:59
Speaker 3: It's not easy to do. Unless you're 97 and you're
7:02
Speaker 3: driving Miss Daisy or something. But it's really tough to
7:06
Speaker 3: drive 15 miles an hour. It's also a revenue thing
7:10
Speaker 3: because nobody can do it. So as soon as you're
7:12
Speaker 3: 20 miles an hour, you're going to get a ticket.
7:14
Speaker 3: It's just a way to give out more tickets.
7:16
Speaker 4: And.
7:17
Speaker 3: It never stops. Hey, the war on AI, it's not
7:20
Speaker 3: really a war on AI. There's a cartel now that
7:23
Speaker 3: controls all of AI. The big four AI companies control
7:27
Speaker 3: it all. And they'd like to keep it that way. Uh,
7:31
Speaker 3: so that's what this is really all about. Uh, they
7:34
Speaker 3: pretend they're just noble. They're just saints calling for regulation.
7:38
Speaker 3: So anytime you hear tech CEOs trying to sound noble,
7:42
Speaker 3: be very, very, very, uh, weary. And, uh, Anytime you
7:47
Speaker 3: hear people calling for their business to be regulated, be
7:49
Speaker 3: very wary of these people. The real story is they've
7:54
Speaker 3: got the whole thing monopolized. The big four. It's a cartel.
7:59
Speaker 3: They control AI. And they'd like all this regulation, red
8:02
Speaker 3: tape to come in, to keep everybody else out. Because
8:05
Speaker 3: they've seen a lot of young upstart companies on the horizons.
8:10
Speaker 3: All of a sudden there's a lot of players want
8:12
Speaker 3: to move into AI. This regulation would make it very
8:15
Speaker 3: tough for them and discourage most of them. Uh, now
8:18
Speaker 3: there's people jumping in on this fight. Uh, Steve Bannon
8:23
Speaker 3: teamed up with Bernie Sanders. Now you've got the two
8:26
Speaker 3: biggest nuts on both sides of the aisle, Bannon and Sanders, uh,
8:30
Speaker 3: just spewing all kinds of stuff together. Sanders looks like
8:35
Speaker 3: a guy you'd see in the Carnegie deli, uh, And
8:39
Speaker 3: he's just, I mean, he's a lovable guy, but just
8:42
Speaker 3: a lunatic. And Bannon looks like he just robbed an
8:46
Speaker 3: army surplus store with that outfit. He looks like he's
8:49
Speaker 3: dressed for Vietnam in the jungle or something. But two
8:53
Speaker 3: lunatics with this press conference, Bannon.
8:55
Speaker 5: Once you have time, then you can start the hard
8:59
Speaker 5: work of what is actually the regulatory apparatus. What is
9:03
Speaker 5: a regulatory apparatus that does not choke down the creativity?
9:08
Speaker 3: The drive, the urgency. Yeah, now Sanders.
9:11
Speaker 6: Despite living in a so-called democracy, the public has had
9:17
Speaker 6: virtually no input into the AI revolution that is transforming
9:24
Speaker 6: the world in which they live.
9:29
Speaker 3: There's the problem. The public has had no input into the...
9:34
Speaker 3: I've got to be honest. You remember when Steve Jobs
9:36
Speaker 3: was coming up with the iPhone? I didn't have any input.
9:39
Speaker 3: He never consulted us. You remember where they were inventing Google,
9:43
Speaker 3: those three guys? They never got any input from us.
9:48
Speaker 3: There's a reason for that. He'll need any input from us.
9:51
Speaker 3: And what the hell do we know? What if Steve
9:54
Speaker 3: Jobs did come to me for advice when he was
9:56
Speaker 3: developing the iPhone? What am I going to do? Say, yeah,
9:59
Speaker 3: I would put this part over here. Maybe you should
10:02
Speaker 3: put this over here. What do we know? Barely know
10:06
Speaker 3: how to use AI. I'm going to have input into
10:07
Speaker 3: creating it. It doesn't make any sense. But again, the cartel,
10:13
Speaker 3: and as a lot of people are pointing out, if
10:15
Speaker 3: the cartel, these four companies, thinks that we should slow down, Well,
10:20
Speaker 3: you guys have a total monopoly and control it. Slow
10:22
Speaker 3: down if you want. You think we should have a slowdown?
10:25
Speaker 3: Start it at 10 o'clock this morning. Just slow down.
10:30
Speaker 3: You could do it yourself. But this is all being
10:33
Speaker 3: carefully orchestrated. The quiet ringmaster behind the scenes, Barack Obama.
10:38
Speaker 3: They had a little meeting for all of this, and
10:40
Speaker 3: Obama was there. And the one guy leading the charge,
10:44
Speaker 3: that anthropic CEO, very close to Obama, Now, why would
10:49
Speaker 3: Obama get involved? He thinks, and he's been telling Democrats
10:52
Speaker 3: this for almost two months. They weren't really listening to him,
10:55
Speaker 3: but he was telling them, AI is your issue. Make
10:59
Speaker 3: AI the issue. Make AI the new climate change. The
11:03
Speaker 3: thing everybody has to be terrified for, and only Democrats
11:05
Speaker 3: will protect you from it. So Obama, brilliant political strategist,
11:10
Speaker 3: thought that was the issue. But the thing is, if
11:13
Speaker 3: you want to talk about AI.
11:15
Speaker 3: A 97-year-old guy like Bernie Sanders with fogged up glasses
11:19
Speaker 3: who barely knows how to use his cell phone. This
11:22
Speaker 3: is not your guy.
11:23
Speaker 7: If AI surpasses human intelligence, as many scientists believe could happen,
11:31
Speaker 7: this technology will escape human control with potentially catastrophic consequences.
11:40
Speaker 3: By the way, we like to point out, all the
11:43
Speaker 3: same stuff was said With even more fear, when they
11:48
Speaker 3: invented electricity, there was an uproar. And a lot of
11:51
Speaker 3: this took place. You can go back and read the
11:54
Speaker 3: history of this. When electricity was developed, same thing. They
11:57
Speaker 3: all wanted it stopped. They were afraid of electricity. It
12:00
Speaker 3: was going to kill us all. It was going to
12:02
Speaker 3: create monsters. This was a big, big, big thing in
12:07
Speaker 3: public back then. And that's what led to Mary Shelley
12:11
Speaker 3: writing the book Frankenstein, which became a big novel. It
12:14
Speaker 3: was about electricity. being used to create a monster that
12:18
Speaker 3: kills us all. So this has been going on forever,
12:21
Speaker 3: this kind of talk. The Carnegie Deli reopened yesterday. You know,
12:28
Speaker 3: you got to be a little leery when you try
12:30
Speaker 3: to bring something back, when you try to recreate some magic.
12:33
Speaker 3: It doesn't, well, it worked. It really worked. It was
12:37
Speaker 3: pretty amazing. Check out my Instagram. You'll see some pictures.
12:41
Speaker 3: Mark Simone, NYC at Instagram. It was packed. There was
12:46
Speaker 3: a line out the door. They had to have a
12:48
Speaker 3: big bouncer at the door, a very friendly guy, but
12:51
Speaker 3: they needed security. There were press everywhere inside. The food, great.
13:01
Speaker 3: The sandwiches. Now, remember how big the sandwiches were? They're
13:05
Speaker 3: like eight feet high to 10 feet high, 10 inches high,
13:08
Speaker 3: the sandwiches. You know, in the age of skimflation and shrinkflation,
13:14
Speaker 3: Are we going to cut the size down? No, they
13:16
Speaker 3: increased it.
13:17
Speaker 8: No.
13:18
Speaker 3: No, they're even bigger. They're even bigger. Now, people look
13:21
Speaker 3: at that sandwich that's like a foot high with that
13:24
Speaker 3: much pastrami and say, how are you supposed to eat that?
13:26
Speaker 3: You can't even get that in your mouth. Who could
13:28
Speaker 3: eat all that? Well, that's true. But that was part
13:31
Speaker 3: of the magic formula because basically it's three sandwiches in one.
13:36
Speaker 3: If you got some more bread, you could make three
13:38
Speaker 3: sandwiches easily out of it. So it's basically the brilliant
13:42
Speaker 3: business model. They're able to sell you three sandwiches when
13:46
Speaker 3: you only wanted one. And you can't complain because you're
13:49
Speaker 3: certainly getting your money's worth. Pop-up bagels, which is the
13:53
Speaker 3: hot new bagel chain, same thing. Although they're more obvious
13:56
Speaker 3: about it. You know, the smallest order you can get
13:58
Speaker 3: at pop-up bagels is three bagels. You have to order
14:01
Speaker 3: a bag of bagels, a bag of 12, a bag
14:03
Speaker 3: of 10. You can get the smallest is a bag
14:05
Speaker 3: of three. So even though you want one bagel, that's it.
14:08
Speaker 3: You got to buy three. It's so good, you do it.
14:11
Speaker 3: So same thing with the Carnegie. Most people, they take
14:13
Speaker 3: home what they didn't eat. Sandwiches are phenomenal. The great
14:17
Speaker 3: cheesecake is back. The pickles are back. There are some
14:21
Speaker 3: changes that the purists like me that were there in
14:26
Speaker 3: the heyday of the Carnegie. Remember the big surly waiters?
14:30
Speaker 3: Remember Herb, that big, big waiter who'd yell at you
14:34
Speaker 3: and you could order 500 things and he'd say, what else?
14:38
Speaker 3: What else? Well, I'll have this and this and this. Yeah,
14:41
Speaker 3: what else? And then they'd walk up to that counter
14:44
Speaker 3: where the waiters would order and they would scream the
14:48
Speaker 3: orders at the countermen. And by the way, they had
14:53
Speaker 3: their own code, a pastrami on rye, the most common
14:58
Speaker 3: order at the Carnegie. Pastrami on rye was a pistol.
15:01
Speaker 3: So you'd hear Herb, the waiter, go up the counter,
15:04
Speaker 3: two pistols. And if you wanted the, rye toasted that
15:08
Speaker 3: was whiskey down. So they'd say, two pistols, one whiskey down.
15:13
Speaker 3: They'd always be barking the stuff at the counter. So
15:16
Speaker 3: I'm standing by the counter. And first of all, the
15:19
Speaker 3: problem is they don't have those old nasty waiters anymore.
15:22
Speaker 3: They're all young. They're nice looking. They're friendly. They're nice,
15:25
Speaker 3: friendly waiters. Not the same thing. And I didn't hear
15:28
Speaker 3: anybody yelling the order at the counter guy. Nobody's yelling.
15:31
Speaker 3: I said, why aren't they? How come I don't hear it? Well,
15:34
Speaker 3: it's all done with a little pad. They just type
15:36
Speaker 3: it in The waiter just types in the order. It's
15:40
Speaker 3: all digital. It comes up as a ticket on the
15:42
Speaker 3: other side. No yelling, no noise. It really cut down
15:45
Speaker 3: on the noise. And again, the big, fat, grumpy waiters,
15:49
Speaker 3: I didn't see one of them. They're all young. They're
15:52
Speaker 3: good looking. But they're doing very well. Now, it's in
15:55
Speaker 3: a different location. You remember where the old Carnegie was?
15:58
Speaker 3: This was a block south. It's ironically in the location
16:04
Speaker 3: where the stage deli was Stage Deli, their arch rival
16:07
Speaker 3: for many years. So it's in the old Stage Deli.
16:10
Speaker 3: It's beautiful. It's roomier. It's wider. It's nicer than the
16:16
Speaker 3: old place. Remember they had the pictures all over every wall? Well,
16:19
Speaker 3: in the new one, they've got the pictures all on
16:22
Speaker 3: one or two big walls. Much more orderly. My picture's
16:26
Speaker 3: in there somewhere. Look for it. But I asked the owner.
16:31
Speaker 3: The owner's Marion Harper, Sari Harper, granddaughter of the original owner,
16:36
Speaker 3: They're running it. Again, check out my Instagram. You'll see
16:39
Speaker 3: pictures of them. But did you try to get back
16:42
Speaker 3: the old location? The old location is now a cannabis store.
16:47
Speaker 3: A cannabis store is where the Carnegie was. So, no,
16:51
Speaker 3: they didn't. They said there are problems with that building.
16:54
Speaker 3: And also, they think a developer is going to come
16:56
Speaker 3: in and take those three or four buildings down and
16:59
Speaker 3: put up a skyscraper. They didn't need to get in
17:01
Speaker 3: that fight. So they've got a new location. Also, they're
17:04
Speaker 3: looking to maybe do a Florida one. We've got a
17:06
Speaker 3: lot of Florida listeners. They're looking for a Florida Carnegie Deli.
17:11
Speaker 3: Most likely, Boca Raton would be the place. Not only
17:15
Speaker 3: is the great cheesecake back, but by the way, they
17:17
Speaker 3: have a great black and white cookie now. That's the
17:19
Speaker 3: new thing, the black and white cookie. And it's crowded.
17:24
Speaker 3: There's a line. It's not bad. It's not that bad.
17:26
Speaker 3: You don't have to wait that long. Anyway, we've got
17:28
Speaker 3: a lot more to get to, so stay with us.
17:29
Speaker 3: It's Mark Simone here. 9 to noon, three hours every day,
17:33
Speaker 3: 9 to noon, here on 710WOR.
17:37
Speaker 9: Weekdays on 710WOR. Oh, hey, it's only Tuesday.
17:45
Speaker 3: No, what's today? It's Wednesday. Wednesday. All right, that's better.
17:49
Speaker 3: It's Wednesday. It's Wednesday. A week from today, it'll be autumn.
17:52
Speaker 3: That's right. Next Tuesday, like 10 o'clock at night, is
17:56
Speaker 3: the actual end of summer. Hey, that crazy Kathy Hochul
18:03
Speaker 3: has got a scheme for the election. You know, electric
18:05
Speaker 3: bills are really high. You remember your electric bill was
18:07
Speaker 3: like $ 120 a month. Now it's $ 400 a month. What
18:12
Speaker 3: the hell happened? Well, blame Andrew Cuomo for that. He
18:16
Speaker 3: shut down Indian Point for no reason at all. Part
18:20
Speaker 3: of his green scheme, whatever it was. But he shut
18:23
Speaker 3: down Indian Point, and that was 25% of our electricity.
18:27
Speaker 3: And it drove the cost way up for everybody of electricity.
18:32
Speaker 3: And then Cuomo and now Hochul refused to allow fracking
18:37
Speaker 3: in New York. Right under us in New York State,
18:40
Speaker 3: we got tons and tons and tons of natural gas.
18:46
Speaker 3: So they both refused to do any fracking. That has
18:49
Speaker 3: doubled the cost of your electricity. Pennsylvania does fracking, and
18:54
Speaker 3: that's why their economy is booming. They've been doing it
18:56
Speaker 3: for years. And believe it or not, even though Hochul, Cuomo,
19:01
Speaker 3: no fracking allowed in New York, we buy our natural
19:04
Speaker 3: gas from Pennsylvania at like triple the price. So all
19:09
Speaker 3: this nonsense has caused your electric bill to go from
19:11
Speaker 3: 100 to 400 a month to go crazy. And then
19:16
Speaker 3: people are upset about these electric bills. So Hochul has
19:18
Speaker 3: come up with this scheme. She's promising everybody a check
19:22
Speaker 3: for $ 500. $ 500. You're going to get a check for
19:26
Speaker 3: your electric bill. Now, it's all a scheme, and it's
19:30
Speaker 3: a good scheme because it sounds great. Wow, she's going
19:34
Speaker 3: to give us $ 500. Yeah, but you've paid like an
19:35
Speaker 3: extra $ 4, 000 for electric bills because of her as governor.
19:42
Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman, of course, responding to all this.
19:44
Speaker 9: As governor, I will cut your utility bills in half.
19:48
Speaker 3: We will get rid of the green energy scale. and
19:50
Speaker 3: we will open up our own natural gas resource. Yeah,
19:54
Speaker 3: and if you do that, you're going to drop the
19:56
Speaker 3: cost of electricity dramatically, not to mention create a lot
20:00
Speaker 3: of jobs for everybody.
20:01
Speaker 9: Our utility rates are 70% higher, 70%, 70% higher than.
20:04
Speaker 3: The national average. Donald Trump said....
20:10
Speaker 10: When he's running for office, utility bills will go down,
20:14
Speaker 10: energy costs will go down by half when I'm elected.
20:16
Speaker 9: It's really funny that Bruce Blakeman is using the exact
20:19
Speaker 9: same words.
20:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, actually, it did go down everywhere except New
20:23
Speaker 3: York and California and a couple other crazy states that
20:26
Speaker 3: regulate and tax to death. As Kash Patel, he doesn't
20:34
Speaker 3: look like much. He doesn't look like an FBI director,
20:37
Speaker 3: Kash Patel. He's a nice guy. He's a very nice guy.
20:40
Speaker 3: But you look at him, you know, he just looks
20:42
Speaker 3: like the IT guy, like he's here to fix something.
20:45
Speaker 3: He doesn't look like the FBI director. As Trump would say,
20:49
Speaker 3: he's not from central casting exactly. But he's done a
20:52
Speaker 3: pretty good job at the FBI. But they brought him in.
20:57
Speaker 3: They called him in for hearings. Very big hearings. Nobody
21:01
Speaker 3: knows about what, but it sounded important. And when they
21:04
Speaker 3: subpoenaed him, you have to come. He was summoned to
21:07
Speaker 3: appear before the Judiciary Committee. Sounds very important. What was
21:13
Speaker 3: the important matter they summoned him for? Well, the Senate
21:17
Speaker 3: Judiciary Committee wanted to yell and scream at him and
21:21
Speaker 3: call him names for the cameras. This is, you got
21:24
Speaker 3: to admit, Democrats are great at hearings. Republicans stink at hearings.
21:30
Speaker 3: You know, they just ask questions. These Democrats, they come
21:32
Speaker 3: up with all these names they're going to call you,
21:34
Speaker 3: then accuse you, everything. They're going to just tear you apart.
21:38
Speaker 3: This Mazzi Hirono, a senator from Hawaii, starts going after him.
21:44
Speaker 3: She starts screaming, you've been so drunk that briefings had
21:48
Speaker 3: to be rescheduled so you could sleep it off. I
21:51
Speaker 3: don't think the guy even drinks, but it sounded good.
21:55
Speaker 3: She demanded he take an alcohol test right now. Now,
22:00
Speaker 3: where would she even get this from? Well, the Atlantic,
22:03
Speaker 3: which used to be quite a prestigious magazine, Steve Jobs' wife, ex-wife,
22:08
Speaker 3: bought it. And it's now the most ridiculous, biased, crazy
22:13
Speaker 3: left-wing extremist. So they wrote an article alleging that Patel
22:18
Speaker 3: has drinking habits. There's absolutely no evidence anywhere of this.
22:22
Speaker 3: If anybody had ever seen it, they would come forward
22:24
Speaker 3: and tell you. But she used that. And then even
22:28
Speaker 3: the Democratic foes were doing a double take. They couldn't
22:31
Speaker 3: believe she was spewing this stuff. But again, Democrats are
22:36
Speaker 3: great at these hearings. They call the guy all kinds
22:38
Speaker 3: of names. And the guy goes, I'm going to, I'm
22:40
Speaker 3: going to, I'm going to. And then they use the
22:42
Speaker 3: clips everywhere. You know, MSNBC, CNN, even the network news.
22:46
Speaker 3: They use these clips. And then Cory Booker yelling and
22:50
Speaker 3: screaming and huffing and puffing. You know, he'd like to
22:52
Speaker 3: be the candidate in 2028 playing for the cameras. But
22:56
Speaker 3: even the chairman of the committee, you'll hear him jump
22:59
Speaker 3: in and try to stop Booker. You know, you're going
23:01
Speaker 3: too far. He's just yelling, here's Booker going after Kash Patel.
23:05
Speaker 11: He can't throw me out. I'm going to hold this
23:07
Speaker 11: man accountable for as long as he's in this job
23:09
Speaker 11: until he gets fired, which he probably will because he's
23:12
Speaker 11: incompetent at his job and continues to do things that
23:15
Speaker 11: merit his removal. Yes, shame on you, sir.
23:18
Speaker 3: Director Patel, were you done?
23:20
Speaker 4: By the way, violent crime arrests by the FBI in
23:22
Speaker 4: New Jersey are up 75% on top of the historic
23:24
Speaker 4: results we've already delivered for the American people.
23:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks to the state police and local police officers.
23:28
Speaker 9: Irrespective of the lies that he continues to tell.
23:31
Speaker 11: Nothing I have said here is a lie.
23:32
Speaker 4: You said your time's up.
23:33
Speaker 3: Are you done or not? Yeah, he did. They did
23:35
Speaker 3: bring down crime a lot. And we love the state troopers,
23:38
Speaker 3: but they did not play a big role in that.
23:40
Speaker 3: But Booker looks good on camera. Got an IQ of
23:44
Speaker 3: like 90 maybe, but looks good. Yells and screams a lot.
23:48
Speaker 3: Here's more Patel. This is ridiculous.
23:49
Speaker 11: What a mocker you are.
23:51
Speaker 3: You are the biggest mockery in the United States Senate,
23:53
Speaker 3: and you're sitting next to Schiff.
23:54
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, 8 million people in New Jersey don't think so.
23:57
Speaker 11: At least I didn't get my job the way you
23:58
Speaker 11: got your job.
23:59
Speaker 4: Are you going to interfere with Senator Graham asking.
24:02
Speaker 3: Her questions too? I certainly will not. Too, as well?
24:04
Speaker 4: I certainly will not.
24:06
Speaker 3: Are you done now?
24:06
Speaker 12: I am done.
24:07
Speaker 3: Are you ready to shut up? It did get a
24:10
Speaker 3: little out of control. At least Booker looks good. He's sharp.
24:16
Speaker 3: But you get these old guys there. He's like the
24:18
Speaker 3: chairman there. Are you done? You got to get these
24:23
Speaker 3: guys out of there. You know, you wonder, how does
24:27
Speaker 3: Apple make $ 52 trillion a day? Because you go in there,
24:31
Speaker 3: the young, sharp guys are all dynamic guys. There's nobody
24:33
Speaker 3: working at Apple. You got to get these guys out
24:38
Speaker 3: of the Congress. Hey, a big piece of legislation was
24:42
Speaker 3: passed in the House. We'll get to that coming up.
24:44
Speaker 3: We'll take some calls and more just ahead. Mark Simone here.
24:48
Speaker 3: 9 to noon. It's three hours every day now. 9
24:50
Speaker 3: to noon. on 710WOR.
24:54
Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show, live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
25:02
Speaker 3: Well, hey, there was a big bill before Congress. You know,
25:06
Speaker 3: some new cars don't have AM radio in them, which
25:11
Speaker 3: is frustrating for a lot of people, annoying for a
25:13
Speaker 3: lot of people, and some people think dangerous because in
25:15
Speaker 3: a big emergency, when they activate that national broadcasting system,
25:20
Speaker 3: you need AM radio. So some manufacturers eliminating AM radio.
25:27
Speaker 3: And it doesn't make any sense because despite what you
25:30
Speaker 3: might think, AM radio is bigger than ever. Right now,
25:33
Speaker 3: 63 million people listen to AM radio. 63 million. Now,
25:40
Speaker 3: AM FM combined, 159 million listen to the radio every day.
25:46
Speaker 3: Biggest medium there is. Network TV, 25 million. Cable news,
25:51
Speaker 3: 15 million. Again, AM radio, 63 million. So it's pretty
26:00
Speaker 3: weird to eliminate it from cars. What the auto companies
26:03
Speaker 3: are really up to, they eventually want to eliminate AM
26:07
Speaker 3: and FM radio from cars. And they want to make
26:10
Speaker 3: it just like a Wi-Fi in the car, internet in
26:14
Speaker 3: the car. And that way, you can still get it,
26:17
Speaker 3: you know, you can get the iHeart app. And that
26:20
Speaker 3: way you can listen to all your favorite AM stations.
26:23
Speaker 3: You can just use the internet in the car. And
26:25
Speaker 3: the reason they want to do that, they will then
26:27
Speaker 3: charge you for the internet every month. It'll be like,
26:30
Speaker 3: you know, $ 12 a month for your internet use. You see,
26:33
Speaker 3: the car companies got a little jealous when they put
26:35
Speaker 3: Sirius satellite radio in the cars a few years ago,
26:39
Speaker 3: because they put it in the car for you. You
26:42
Speaker 3: drove the car away. But then Sirius was collecting $ 12
26:47
Speaker 3: every month for you or $ 18 every month from you.
26:50
Speaker 3: That's a lot of revenue every year. And the car
26:52
Speaker 3: companies want to get in on that. So that's why
26:54
Speaker 3: they're hoping to eliminate all radio. But there's a bill
26:57
Speaker 3: to make it law that you have to have an
27:00
Speaker 3: AM radio in a car. And in the bill, they
27:03
Speaker 3: argue all kinds of things. First of all, there's a
27:04
Speaker 3: demand for it. If 63 million people are still listening
27:08
Speaker 3: to AM radio. And that's where the emergency broadcasting system
27:12
Speaker 3: takes place. case of a flood. There's many examples that
27:17
Speaker 3: were brought up in the debate over this where lives
27:20
Speaker 3: were saved because of AM radio, because of the emergency
27:22
Speaker 3: broadcasting system. So it passed the House by a huge vote.
27:28
Speaker 3: It passed the House yesterday. Now it goes to the Senate,
27:30
Speaker 3: where most likely it'll be passed. Now, if you got
27:33
Speaker 3: one of those cars that you bought that doesn't have
27:36
Speaker 3: an AM radio in it, well... In most cases, they'll
27:42
Speaker 3: be able to put it in through a software update.
27:44
Speaker 3: I'm sure they've kind of built that into the car. Hey,
27:47
Speaker 3: by the way, if you've got one of those cars
27:48
Speaker 3: with no AM radio, you can listen to WOR without
27:54
Speaker 3: an AM radio in your car. You either put the
27:57
Speaker 3: iHeart app in, or you can use it through your phone,
27:59
Speaker 3: and it'll play through the car. Or we have an
28:01
Speaker 3: HD channel. It's WKTU HD1. If you have no AM radio,
28:08
Speaker 3: you've got HD channels in there. HD1, you can get WOR.
28:14
Speaker 3: But it'll most likely pass the Senate, and they'll have to,
28:16
Speaker 3: car companies will have to ask, scramble real fast to
28:20
Speaker 3: get you an AM radio. Hey, we'll take some calls.
28:22
Speaker 3: 800-321-0710 is the number.
28:23
Speaker 1: 800-321-0710.
28:23
Speaker 3: Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing?
28:25
Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark. Yes, Mike.
28:36
Speaker 13: I remember when you could only get an AM radio,
28:39
Speaker 13: and you'd have to get an FM converter and keep
28:42
Speaker 13: it in your glove compartment and wire it up and
28:44
Speaker 13: get FM. I mean, that was like my 65 Volkswagen,
28:49
Speaker 13: my 65 Tempest. I had a bunch of my 65 Corvair.
28:52
Speaker 13: I had that same FM adapter. It was great.
28:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm trying to remember back in the 90s
28:59
Speaker 3: when there were no– some people had cell phones. Let's
29:02
Speaker 3: say the late 80s, you had no cell phones. When
29:04
Speaker 3: you were driving, what the hell did you do? Who
29:07
Speaker 3: did you talk to? You couldn't talk to anybody.
29:09
Speaker 13: That's true. I can't imagine driving without any kind of
29:14
Speaker 13: radio at all.
29:15
Speaker 12: It's impossible.
29:16
Speaker 13: I mean, my whole life has been spent listening to
29:18
Speaker 13: the radio as I drive.
29:19
Speaker 3: Well, you always had a radio, but when you didn't
29:20
Speaker 3: have a phone and you couldn't call anybody on a
29:23
Speaker 3: long drive, what the hell did you just listen to
29:24
Speaker 3: the radio? It's so monotonous. Can you imagine?
29:27
Speaker 4: You've got to actually pay attention to the road.
29:31
Speaker 13: But I wanted to point something out about answering the subpoena.
29:35
Speaker 13: Only Republicans seem to answer the subpoenas. If you're Eric Holder,
29:38
Speaker 13: you just ignore it.
29:39
Speaker 3: You know yeah so uh yeah a lot of democrats
29:42
Speaker 3: have defied those congressional subpoenas eric holder was the attorney
29:45
Speaker 3: general plenty of them uh and nothing.
29:50
Speaker 13: And the other thing is have you ever noticed how
29:53
Speaker 13: regressive progressives are, you know, how they're all against progress.
29:57
Speaker 13: This data center AI thing is the most recent one
30:03
Speaker 13: of their shenanigans, you know, about denying progress. It's a
30:07
Speaker 13: pretty impressive way to exist.
30:09
Speaker 3: Well, in this case, they're not really denying progress. They
30:12
Speaker 3: just need to replace things. You know, they had the
30:14
Speaker 3: nuclear plants. That was the thing they would scare you with.
30:17
Speaker 3: Nuclear plants. Well, now the data centers, these are the
30:19
Speaker 3: new nuclear plants.
30:21
Speaker 13: And Y2K, 25 years ago, it was Y2K. The world
30:25
Speaker 13: was going to come to an end.
30:27
Speaker 3: That wasn't just Democrats. There were a lot of people.
30:29
Speaker 3: That's a good example of people thinking AI is going
30:31
Speaker 3: to kill us all. It was believed Y2K would kill
30:34
Speaker 3: us all. Right. That's a good point, Mike.
30:36
Speaker 13: Planes were going to drop out of the sky.
30:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, good point, Mike. Thanks for calling. Yeah, just for
30:41
Speaker 3: you people wondering about this AI stuff. In the year
30:45
Speaker 3: 1998 and then 1999, We had gone online. We were digital.
30:51
Speaker 3: We were Google. No, there wasn't a Google yet, but
30:55
Speaker 3: we're all online in AOL chat rooms and that sort
30:59
Speaker 3: of stuff. But when the year 2000 happened, I don't
31:03
Speaker 3: remember exactly how they came up with this, but they
31:05
Speaker 3: thought it was called Y2K, that everything would collapse, all
31:10
Speaker 3: of society, the whole Internet would collapse over something about
31:14
Speaker 3: switching to the next century. that the computers, the digital,
31:18
Speaker 3: nothing would be able to keep up with it, and
31:20
Speaker 3: that airplanes would literally fall out of the sky because
31:22
Speaker 3: the computer would lose control. It was a big thing.
31:25
Speaker 3: Go look it up. Y2K, 26 years ago. Y2K. Everybody
31:29
Speaker 3: was terrified. They were terrified to leave their house the
31:31
Speaker 3: next day. Y2K is going to kill us all. So
31:34
Speaker 3: same thing going on today. Yeah, you know, if you
31:39
Speaker 3: got in the time capsule and you went back to 1993,
31:41
Speaker 3: they had cell phones, but you couldn't really use it
31:46
Speaker 3: in the car. And it was a big bulky thing.
31:49
Speaker 3: And you could only make a call. You didn't really
31:52
Speaker 3: use it that much. You could barely hear anything on him.
31:54
Speaker 3: So it was a different world. You know, if you
31:56
Speaker 3: go to the doctor and even though you got an appointment,
32:00
Speaker 3: they make you wait. Sometimes you sit in that waiting
32:01
Speaker 3: room for 30 minutes. You know, you get so mad.
32:04
Speaker 3: You keep going up the desk. Now you don't care
32:08
Speaker 3: if they make you wait. I got my phone. I'm
32:09
Speaker 3: watching movies. I'm on YouTube. I'm reading something. I'm on Instagram. I,
32:14
Speaker 3: In fact, when they call you, it's finally your turn.
32:17
Speaker 3: Now you get mad. Wait, I was just watching something.
32:19
Speaker 3: I got to turn it off. So it's the same
32:21
Speaker 3: thing at the airport. That's where they can keep you
32:23
Speaker 3: waiting forever. You got your phone. You don't mind waiting.
32:26
Speaker 3: You got a million things to look at, read, watch. So, hey,
32:30
Speaker 3: Nick Reiner, son of Rob Reiner. We haven't heard about
32:33
Speaker 3: him in a while. He was in court yesterday. Do
32:36
Speaker 3: you know it's one year? Almost one year. December will
32:38
Speaker 3: be one year. So it's like 10 months. It's a
32:41
Speaker 3: long time ago. Nick Reiner. who murdered his parents, Rob Reiner,
32:45
Speaker 3: Michelle Reiner, appeared in court, looked a little different. He
32:50
Speaker 3: had a little bit of a facial stubble, a little
32:52
Speaker 3: bit of a beard, his short hair growing long. This
32:58
Speaker 3: is not a good look for a crazed killer, the
33:01
Speaker 3: beard and the long hair. You might want to tone
33:02
Speaker 3: that down if you're going into court. But he was
33:05
Speaker 3: strangely calm, totally emotionless, clearly he's just completely nuts. I mean,
33:13
Speaker 3: total mental disorder in this kid for most of his life.
33:18
Speaker 3: But all this time, I think he's in solitary confinement.
33:21
Speaker 3: It's just made him just like numb. And they said
33:24
Speaker 3: he was eerily calm, wore a brown jail uniform, sat
33:28
Speaker 3: there totally emotionless, did speak to the judge. He'll remain
33:34
Speaker 3: in prison forever. The family, believe it or not, the brothers,
33:36
Speaker 3: the sisters have gone in and argued on his behalf
33:41
Speaker 3: And it's believed that they may have gotten the death
33:43
Speaker 3: penalty off the table, that it would just be life
33:47
Speaker 3: in prison. So despite everything that's happened, the brothers and
33:49
Speaker 3: sisters fighting to get rid of the death penalty. But
33:54
Speaker 3: one of the strangest stories ever in Hollywood. Hey, we
33:57
Speaker 3: got a lot coming up today. And don't forget, I'm
34:00
Speaker 3: here three hours every day, nine to noon. Nine to
34:04
Speaker 3: noon every day. And then at noon... We've got the
34:07
Speaker 3: biggest lineup here. The biggest names in talk radio are here.
34:10
Speaker 3: Coming up at noon, Buck Sexton, Clay Travis. It's a
34:13
Speaker 3: huge show now. They've got up to 10 million listeners.
34:16
Speaker 3: Then at 3, the biggest name in talk radio and
34:19
Speaker 3: the most listened to radio show in America, Sean Hannity
34:23
Speaker 3: at 3. You've got Jesse Kelly at 6. 9 o'clock,
34:27
Speaker 3: you've got the great and very funny Jimmy Vela. Every night,
34:30
Speaker 3: 9 to midnight, it's all here on 710WOR.
34:35
Speaker 9: Mark Simone. Only on 710WOR.
34:39
Speaker 3: Oh, that means I got it wrong. If you want
34:42
Speaker 3: to listen to us on HD, if your car doesn't
34:45
Speaker 3: have AM radio, it's WKTU HD 2. Not 1. WKTU
34:51
Speaker 3: HD 2 is WOR. If you want to hear us
34:56
Speaker 3: on HD radio. Hey, I heard it in the weather
34:58
Speaker 3: forecast this morning for the first time. I've never heard
35:00
Speaker 3: this in a long time. Fall-like temperatures. That's for the weekend.
35:06
Speaker 3: It's going to be like near 80 for the next
35:09
Speaker 3: few days. It'll be nice. But 70 is the high
35:12
Speaker 3: on Saturday.
35:13
Speaker 4: Wow.
35:14
Speaker 3: Back after the news, 710WOR. You're listening to The Mark
35:19
Speaker 3: Simone Show on 710WOR. Well, hey, it's Wednesday, middle of
35:28
Speaker 3: the week already. Let me see. Price of oil down
35:31
Speaker 3: a few dollars a barrel. Still high, still very, very high.
35:36
Speaker 3: Fed rate, that's going to affect the market. We'll find
35:39
Speaker 3: out later exactly what's going to happen. And let me
35:44
Speaker 3: just see right now. Stocks down, not really, just $ 100,
35:49
Speaker 3: which is like a 20th of 1%. Just nothing. But
35:55
Speaker 3: if the Fed rate announcement comes later, that's expected to
35:59
Speaker 3: be a quarter of a point, be the first rate
36:01
Speaker 3: hike in three years. It would make the president happy,
36:05
Speaker 3: but quarter of a point, not that much. Anyway, we'll
36:08
Speaker 3: get the best expert for you a little later this
36:10
Speaker 3: hour to tell us all about it. So if you're
36:13
Speaker 3: saying to yourself, how does CNN do it? How do
36:15
Speaker 3: they get those low ratings? You know, CNN, a distant
36:19
Speaker 3: third place in cable news, you know, few hundred thousand viewers,
36:24
Speaker 3: that's it. How do they do it? How do they
36:26
Speaker 3: get those ratings so low? Well, it's stuff like this.
36:29
Speaker 3: First of all, Jake Tapper, not the most exciting guy anyway,
36:33
Speaker 3: in the studio, just look at him and go. So
36:38
Speaker 3: how do you get it even lower? Well, You bring
36:41
Speaker 3: on Gavin Newsom, who looks good, sounds good, in the studio.
36:46
Speaker 3: But they decide they'll take these two guys and have
36:48
Speaker 3: them go fly fishing in Montana. I don't know what
36:52
Speaker 3: the point of this is. I think it's Newsom's place
36:56
Speaker 3: in Montana, his fly fishing place. You know how bad
37:00
Speaker 3: Jake Tapper looks in the studio. You know how dull
37:02
Speaker 3: he looks in the studio. Imagine him with those big
37:04
Speaker 3: rubber boots up to his waist, standing in the middle
37:08
Speaker 3: of a stream. Does anybody want to see this? So
37:12
Speaker 3: it's Tapper and Newsom fly fishing. This was the highlight
37:15
Speaker 3: of the whole thing where Newsom thinks he makes news
37:19
Speaker 3: by saying he won't run if Kamala runs in 2028.
37:23
Speaker 3: That was supposed to be breaking news. I don't know.
37:26
Speaker 3: But listen to this. Tapper and Newsom fly fishing. It's
37:28
Speaker 3: going to be a lot of people.
37:29
Speaker 4: Yeah.
37:30
Speaker 3: It's a lot of Democrats. 31 flavors. You're not even
37:33
Speaker 3: the only Californian. No, right. You've got Ro Khanna, Kamala.
37:37
Speaker 14: Yeah.
37:38
Speaker 3: I don't know if she runs, but we'll see. I
37:39
Speaker 3: know she's called her own. But I wouldn't run if
37:43
Speaker 3: she ran. If she runs, you will not? Of course not.
37:46
Speaker 3: Why would I? I wouldn't do that to her. I
37:50
Speaker 3: wouldn't do that to you. I wouldn't waste everyone's time. Oh,
37:53
Speaker 3: my God. Breaking news. This was the clip they released.
37:57
Speaker 3: Believe it or not, this was the exciting part of
37:59
Speaker 3: the interview. Now, first of all, this guy's been out
38:02
Speaker 3: of the race for about nine months now. You'll notice
38:05
Speaker 3: before this week, you hadn't heard his name in months.
38:08
Speaker 3: You hadn't heard anybody mention him, talk about him in months.
38:11
Speaker 3: I know there was a period late last year, early
38:13
Speaker 3: this year, where he seemed to be the front runner.
38:16
Speaker 3: He was all over the place. He was pulling stunt
38:19
Speaker 3: after stunt. And it worked for a few months, but
38:22
Speaker 3: that's always the pattern. If you look at every presidential race,
38:26
Speaker 3: on the Democratic side, there's always somebody three years out.
38:29
Speaker 3: It's always the pretty boy who looks good. John Edwards
38:33
Speaker 3: at one time, Gary Hart another time, flash in the pan,
38:37
Speaker 3: and they're all fizzle out, and they're never the nominee.
38:39
Speaker 3: And that was the case here. So You haven't heard
38:42
Speaker 3: a word about this guy in six months. Now he's
38:44
Speaker 3: trying to make a little comeback. And if you want
38:47
Speaker 3: to really stir up some excitement, Jake Tapper is not
38:52
Speaker 3: the guy to do it with. So it's really going nowhere.
38:56
Speaker 3: So the Kennedy Center is a mess. It needs to
39:01
Speaker 3: be rebuilt. It has tremendous water damage. The infrastructure is crumbling.
39:08
Speaker 3: It's on the verge of collapse. They want to rebuild it.
39:11
Speaker 3: The lucky break right now is you happen to have
39:13
Speaker 3: a president who's a master builder who actually knows how
39:17
Speaker 3: to build these things. But he's in a big fight.
39:20
Speaker 3: He wants to put his name on it. I know
39:22
Speaker 3: it sounds crazy, but that's the way he is. He
39:26
Speaker 3: likes to put his name on everything. He likes a
39:28
Speaker 3: lot of gold. He likes his name on everything on.
39:30
Speaker 3: the hat, on the building, on the everything, everything, on
39:33
Speaker 3: the club. But that was too much opposition. So then
39:39
Speaker 3: it was decided it would be the Kennedy Center, but
39:42
Speaker 3: they'll put his name somewhere, a little sign, renovated by
39:45
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. Well, if he does do that, I guess
39:48
Speaker 3: he deserves the credit for it. You know, if Democrats
39:50
Speaker 3: found out about John F. Kennedy, they'd want his name
39:53
Speaker 3: off the building. I don't think they have any idea
39:56
Speaker 3: what John F. Kennedy stood for. Boy, if Democrats today,
40:00
Speaker 3: if they knew about Kennedy, the guy was anti-abortion. The
40:05
Speaker 3: guy was a big military hawk. The guy increased every
40:11
Speaker 3: military thing in Vietnam. The guy was a big tax cutter,
40:15
Speaker 3: a supply sider. If Democrats knew about him, They demand
40:20
Speaker 3: his name come off the building, too, but they don't
40:21
Speaker 3: know about him. But the building in tremendous disrepair. A
40:28
Speaker 3: big chunk of the ceiling fell down last week. Luckily,
40:31
Speaker 3: while it was closed, it didn't hurt anybody. But this
40:35
Speaker 3: talk of Trump just throwing up his hands, a federal
40:38
Speaker 3: judge ruled he can't put his name anywhere on any
40:40
Speaker 3: plaque on anything. And that's the worst thing you can
40:43
Speaker 3: do to Donald Trump. He can't put his name up.
40:45
Speaker 1: Yeah.
40:46
Speaker 3: He may just walk away from all this. They had
40:48
Speaker 3: a fiery board meeting. There's one person on the board
40:51
Speaker 3: who's a holdover from previous administrations who's blocking Trump on anything.
40:55
Speaker 3: She's even the one that took the thing to court.
40:56
Speaker 3: So apparently they had gotten quite a shouting match in
41:00
Speaker 3: the boardroom. But that's normal. That happens. You know, they'll
41:03
Speaker 3: make a big deal out of it. Every president yells
41:06
Speaker 3: and screams and shouts. Not so much Reagan. He could
41:10
Speaker 3: get mad, but he wasn't much of a shouter or
41:13
Speaker 3: a cursor. Clinton was an amazing cursor in private Bush
41:18
Speaker 3: tried to curse, but it wasn't so good when he did.
41:20
Speaker 3: He wasn't convincing when he did it. Obama, yeah, I've
41:25
Speaker 3: heard him curse a few times. I mean, really curse.
41:27
Speaker 3: But again, that's every president. Nixon was quite the cursor.
41:31
Speaker 3: You can hear it on those tapes. It's fascinating to
41:35
Speaker 3: listen to. The biggest yeller and screamer and cursor ever
41:38
Speaker 3: was Joe Biden. In fact, a lot of people quit
41:42
Speaker 3: the White House because they couldn't take the abuse from him.
41:44
Speaker 3: I mean, the F word, the S word, every word.
41:47
Speaker 3: screaming at people all the time. It was unbelievable. It
41:52
Speaker 3: was so bad, and so many people were talking about it,
41:54
Speaker 3: muttering about it. The New York Times was forced once
41:56
Speaker 3: to write an article about it. Of course, they buried
42:00
Speaker 3: it like on page 70, but they did write an
42:02
Speaker 3: article about it, and they spun it by saying, he's
42:06
Speaker 3: a perfectionist. He's such a perfectionist, demands so much from
42:10
Speaker 3: the staff that he can yell and scream and curse
42:12
Speaker 3: at them. And Trump's a pretty good yeller and curser.
42:16
Speaker 3: Although he's a pretty tough guy. When you're really a
42:20
Speaker 3: tough guy, you can control it a little more than
42:24
Speaker 3: some others. So, hey, there's all this effort now to
42:28
Speaker 3: get rid of Pete Hexeth. This crazy Morning Joe show.
42:33
Speaker 3: Doing a whole hour today. We've got to get rid
42:34
Speaker 3: of Hexeth. He's got to go. He's got to go.
42:38
Speaker 3: Get rid of the guy. He's incompetent. Well, he doesn't
42:42
Speaker 3: look like the guy you'd choose for the job. But...
42:48
Speaker 3: I wasn't that keen on him getting the job. I mean,
42:50
Speaker 3: I like the guy, but since he's had the job,
42:53
Speaker 3: he has pulled off probably the most dazzling, unbelievable military
42:59
Speaker 3: operations in history. The Maduro capture in Venezuela was unbelievable.
43:06
Speaker 3: This is a foreign leader. They kidnapped him out of
43:10
Speaker 3: his bedroom in the middle of the night with all
43:11
Speaker 3: his security around, had him out of the country and
43:14
Speaker 3: on a naval ship within like It was unbelievable. The
43:20
Speaker 3: rescue operation of that airman who was trapped behind enemy
43:24
Speaker 3: lines in Iran, one of the most dazzling military operations
43:29
Speaker 3: ever in history. Phenomenal. Amazing. I mean, there's a bunch
43:34
Speaker 3: of these things. The taking out of those nuclear plants
43:37
Speaker 3: in Iran. Remember that 37-hour flying, bombing? It was amazing.
43:42
Speaker 3: So you've got to give Hexeth credit for stuff like that.
43:46
Speaker 3: You remember the guy before him? Who was that awful
43:49
Speaker 3: defense secretary? Lloyd Austin. You remember the bumbling and fumbling
43:52
Speaker 3: and the withdrawal from Afghanistan that got so many Americans killed?
43:57
Speaker 3: It was so awful. That was the worst military operation
44:00
Speaker 3: in history. So I could see calling for him to be.
44:02
Speaker 3: But whatever you think of Hexeth, he has pulled off
44:05
Speaker 3: the most amazing operations ever. Hey, speaking of that rescue operation,
44:10
Speaker 3: it was the big feature story on 60 Minutes Sunday yesterday.
44:15
Speaker 3: And Sunday was the season premiere, the new 60 Minutes.
44:19
Speaker 3: I think it was the 59th season. The 59th season
44:24
Speaker 3: of 60 Minutes. And it was pretty good. They went
44:28
Speaker 3: back to the old formula that 60 Minutes always had,
44:32
Speaker 3: which was a little story about some amazing thing that happened,
44:36
Speaker 3: like in this case, the rescue operation. Then an undercover
44:41
Speaker 3: operation with a hidden camera, and they did that on...
44:44
Speaker 3: a bunch of, uh, fraud schemes. They caught some people
44:47
Speaker 3: actually was guys selling pardons or trying to sell pardons.
44:52
Speaker 3: So that was quite an undercover piece. That was really good.
44:55
Speaker 3: And then a celebrity or a sports profile. That was
44:58
Speaker 3: always the formula of 60 minutes. And it was the
45:00
Speaker 3: number one show on television for decades. So they went
45:03
Speaker 3: back to that formula, uh, under the last leadership for
45:07
Speaker 3: the last few years, the formula would be attack Trump
45:10
Speaker 3: for the whole 60 minutes, find something wrong with Trump
45:13
Speaker 3: for the whole six. But, um, This was back to
45:15
Speaker 3: the old formula. Well, the left-wing people who hate the
45:19
Speaker 3: changes are thrilled, not at the new 60 Minutes. They're
45:24
Speaker 3: thrilled that the ratings weren't so hot. The season premiere
45:27
Speaker 3: only drew 8 million viewers, which is a lot for
45:30
Speaker 3: television nowadays. For television nowadays, that's huge, but only 8 million.
45:35
Speaker 3: It was down 21% from last year's season premiere. You know,
45:40
Speaker 3: in the good old days, 60 Minutes used to get
45:42
Speaker 3: 50 million, 60 million viewers. But that was television back then.
45:46
Speaker 3: Nothing in television gets anything anymore. And that may explain
45:50
Speaker 3: this drop here. People don't watch network television anymore. In fact,
45:54
Speaker 3: 60 Minutes with its 8 million viewers, that was the
45:58
Speaker 3: most watched show in all of television all week, except
46:03
Speaker 3: for sports. Sports does much better. In fact, there was
46:06
Speaker 3: an NFL game that was the lead-in for 60 Minutes.
46:09
Speaker 3: The NFL game got 18.5 million. 18.5 million. That's the
46:15
Speaker 3: only thing people watch on network TV. Sports can get
46:17
Speaker 3: 18 million, 20 million. Primetime shows now get 3 million,
46:22
Speaker 3: 2 million. David Muir, the ABC Evening News, that's the
46:25
Speaker 3: highest rated show usually. That can get 6 million. And
46:28
Speaker 3: as I say, the 60-minute season premiere got 8 million.
46:31
Speaker 3: But otherwise, very few people watching network TV anymore. It's
46:37
Speaker 3: 25 million altogether watch network TV. AM radio, 63 million. So, hey,
46:44
Speaker 3: the Emmy Awards, not so great ratings-wise. Not a lot
46:48
Speaker 3: of ratings the last decade with the Emmys, but this
46:51
Speaker 3: year it was down even more. Down 10% from a
46:56
Speaker 3: year ago. It was on NBC this year, last year CBS,
46:58
Speaker 3: but down 10%, so it took a big dip in
47:02
Speaker 3: the ratings. Woody Allen, believe it or not. You know
47:06
Speaker 3: how old he is? 91. Woody Allen, 91. You got
47:11
Speaker 3: to give the guy credit for one thing. He looks
47:13
Speaker 3: exactly the same, whether he's 51, 31, 91. He looks
47:19
Speaker 3: exactly the same. Maybe it's because he's wearing the same
47:22
Speaker 3: exact sweater and shirt, the same glasses, but he's 91 now.
47:28
Speaker 3: And going back to work, he's making a new movie.
47:30
Speaker 3: That's right. Clint Eastwood making movies at 95. Woody Allen
47:35
Speaker 3: at 91. Starts shooting his new movie next month. His
47:40
Speaker 3: 51st movie, he shoots in Spain. It's called Madrid. And
47:44
Speaker 3: apparently it's more than a background. Madrid is somehow central
47:48
Speaker 3: to the plot. He's having trouble raising money. You know,
47:53
Speaker 3: a lot of people after the whole scandal would not
47:56
Speaker 3: give him any money. Studios wouldn't finance him. The people
47:59
Speaker 3: that usually finance movies wouldn't help him. He had to
48:01
Speaker 3: go around and wine and dine people. wealthy people to
48:05
Speaker 3: get some money. That's why he was always with Epstein.
48:07
Speaker 3: He's all through the Epstein files. He was always at
48:11
Speaker 3: Epstein's dinners, lunches. Whenever Epstein had a bunch of star-struck civilians,
48:17
Speaker 3: wealthy people, he'd make Woody Allen come over and sit
48:20
Speaker 3: with them. And in exchange, Epstein would finance his movies.
48:25
Speaker 3: And Woody Allen would also do it, not just to
48:28
Speaker 3: get money from Epstein, but because there were a lot
48:29
Speaker 3: of wealthy people there. And he'd get money out of them.
48:32
Speaker 3: You get these wealthy guys. They're as starstruck as anybody.
48:36
Speaker 3: So that's how he finances the films. Apparently he ran
48:38
Speaker 3: out of people in America. So he's been doing this
48:41
Speaker 3: same routine in France, Europe, other countries there. And he's
48:46
Speaker 3: raised enough money. His last movie was shot in France.
48:50
Speaker 3: In French, no less. Got great reviews. But it was
48:53
Speaker 3: called Coup de Chance. I don't know anybody that remembers
48:57
Speaker 3: this movie. But at least he's back in work. Hunter Biden,
49:03
Speaker 3: trying to make fun of Don Jr. for having his
49:08
Speaker 3: wedding paid by a Russian oligarch, was a little stupid
49:12
Speaker 3: of Don Jr., who's a very wealthy guy, Don Jr.
49:15
Speaker 3: He's a billionaire, certainly can pay for his own wedding.
49:18
Speaker 3: But the wife, the woman he married i don't know
49:20
Speaker 3: she's a little sleazy she's uh they call her a
49:23
Speaker 3: palm beach socialite which usually means sleazy uh she was
49:27
Speaker 3: the one that did this uh and you know whatever
49:31
Speaker 3: your wife wants it's tough to argue but the wife's
49:34
Speaker 3: friends with this russian oligarchy it wasn't that much it
49:38
Speaker 3: was a tiny wedding you know, like 50 people. It
49:43
Speaker 3: cost a couple hundred thousand. So the Russian oligarch paid
49:46
Speaker 3: for it. I think it was on his, like an
49:48
Speaker 3: island that he owned, which is probably why he paid
49:50
Speaker 3: for it. Bring attention to the island. But there were
49:54
Speaker 3: fireworks show. It wasn't, it was not an elaborate wedding,
49:57
Speaker 3: but you still shouldn't have the guy pay for it.
49:59
Speaker 3: It didn't look good. And then, you know, the media
50:01
Speaker 3: is going to go nuts and they, they try to
50:03
Speaker 3: make it sound like the Russian oligarch with ties to Putin.
50:07
Speaker 3: This guy has no ties to Putin. It's a very
50:09
Speaker 3: wealthy guy in Russia. He's met Putin. He's donated. He's
50:12
Speaker 3: that's about, those are the ties, but it looks stupid, uh,
50:17
Speaker 3: to take it. You're a wealthy guy, Don Jr. You
50:19
Speaker 3: can pay for it. Uh, but Hunter Biden trolling him.
50:22
Speaker 3: He said, Hunter says, I got married on the rooftop
50:25
Speaker 3: of an apartment building. It was much cooler. Well, if
50:29
Speaker 3: you're looking for lifestyle advice, I don't think I'd copy
50:32
Speaker 3: a Hunter Biden, but these two guys like to pick
50:35
Speaker 3: on each other. And, uh, you remember this is Hunter Biden. Who's, uh,
50:39
Speaker 3: you know, no model son either. This is the guy
50:42
Speaker 3: that dated and slept with his brother's widow. This is
50:47
Speaker 3: not a guy you want to copy. Anyway, we got
50:49
Speaker 3: a lot to get to. We'll take some calls next.
50:51
Speaker 3: 800-321-0710 is the number.
50:52
Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
51:00
Speaker 1: What's better than two hours of Mark Simone?
51:03
Speaker 12: Three.

Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
51:14
Speaker 3: Let's go to Sebastian in Connecticut. Sebastian, how you doing?
51:30
Speaker 13: Hi, Mark.
51:30
Speaker 12: I apologize for yesterday. It was a bad connection. Thanks
51:33
Speaker 12: for taking the call. Yeah, I was trying to talk
51:36
Speaker 12: to you about the campaign ad that Lamont put out
51:39
Speaker 12: against Fazio.
51:40
Speaker 3: Yeah.
51:41
Speaker 12: Where he's got the pastor from Norwalk. And in the ad,
51:46
Speaker 12: he says that they're being terrorized and they're picking on
51:50
Speaker 12: black and brown people at the church and so on
51:53
Speaker 12: and so on. And if somebody can get through to
51:56
Speaker 12: Fazio and have them come back with a counter attack,
52:00
Speaker 12: ad where they can show Don Lemon actually terrorizing a
52:04
Speaker 12: church on a Sunday morning.
52:06
Speaker 3: I gotta be honest with you. You're a nice guy.
52:08
Speaker 3: Don't open an advertising agency. Whatever you do. You're not
52:11
Speaker 3: exactly Don Draper here with the ads. Oh, no.
52:13
Speaker 8: Okay.
52:13
Speaker 12: I apologize.
52:15
Speaker 3: That's not a good ad.
52:16
Speaker 12: It'd be nice to see a counter.
52:18
Speaker 3: Well, actually, Ryan Fazio, what we're talking about is the
52:22
Speaker 3: race for governor in Connecticut. Ned Lamont, who's seeking a
52:26
Speaker 3: third term, which is never a good idea. Third terms
52:28
Speaker 3: never work out. Lamont was a businessman, a very successful businessman.
52:34
Speaker 3: As governor, he was pretty good the first term. Second term,
52:37
Speaker 3: he went a little too woke and crazy and pandering
52:40
Speaker 3: to the left too much, and he's not been the
52:43
Speaker 3: best governor. But, no, you're right. Fazio, Ryan Fazio is
52:47
Speaker 3: the Republican candidate. He's the guy I'd go for. He's
52:49
Speaker 3: a moderate Republican, but he's very, very good.
52:52
Speaker 12: Yeah, but my point is, Don Lemon goes into a church.
52:58
Speaker 3: I'm begging you. I'm begging you. Stop mentioning Don Lemon.
53:00
Speaker 3: Enough with the Don Lemon.
53:01
Speaker 13: Okay.
53:02
Speaker 3: Nobody cares about Don Lemon. It's not going to mean
53:04
Speaker 3: anything in Connecticut.
53:05
Speaker 15: I know.
53:06
Speaker 12: And by the way, Mark, how many Scandinavian blue-eyed blondes
53:10
Speaker 12: from Sweden or Norway cross the border?
53:14
Speaker 4: Oh.
53:15
Speaker 3: You'd have to swim. It's quite a swim. We don't
53:19
Speaker 3: have a border with Norway. Anyway.
53:21
Speaker 12: All right. Thanks for taking the call.
53:23
Speaker 3: You're the truck driver, right? I think the fumes are
53:25
Speaker 3: getting to you.
53:25
Speaker 12: Yes.
53:26
Speaker 3: Do me a favor. Roll down the window when you're driving.
53:28
Speaker 3: The fumes are getting to you.
53:30
Speaker 12: Okay.
53:30
Speaker 3: All right. Thanks for calling. Actually, I had dinner with
53:34
Speaker 3: Don Lemon once in Connecticut. I don't get mad. It
53:38
Speaker 3: was Clive Davis who showed up with him. They were
53:41
Speaker 3: very close. But as Don Lemon walked into the restaurant,
53:44
Speaker 3: crowded restaurant, as he walked through the room, nobody knew
53:48
Speaker 3: who the hell he was. Nobody. You remember, the guy
53:51
Speaker 3: had like 400,000 viewers. It was a low-rated show. That's
53:55
Speaker 3: why they got rid of him. But running an ad
53:58
Speaker 3: with Don Lemon is not going to mean anything to anybody.
54:00
Speaker 3: But that Ryan Fazio, he's the Republican nominee, Governor of Connecticut.
54:05
Speaker 3: He'd be a good choice. He's been in the legislature
54:07
Speaker 3: for years. Very common sense, sharp guy. Definitely, definitely the
54:12
Speaker 3: guy you should vote for. Let's go to Kay in Manhattan. Kay,
54:16
Speaker 3: how are you doing?
54:19
Speaker 16: Well, thank you, Mark.
54:20
Speaker 3: Are you sure?
54:22
Speaker 16: Yes, I'm sure. I'd just like to say in regards
54:27
Speaker 16: to AI and the panic that the Democrats are drumming
54:32
Speaker 16: up about it, If they win, they will embrace AI.
54:38
Speaker 16: They will make as much money as they can from it.
54:42
Speaker 3: Well, they already do. This cartel of these AI companies,
54:47
Speaker 3: they're huge Democratic donors already. They're all Democrats. In fact,
54:51
Speaker 3: they've staffed their companies with a lot of Democrats and
54:55
Speaker 3: a lot of Obama people are in there, in these companies.
54:59
Speaker 3: What is that noise, Kay?
55:02
Speaker 16: Oh, it's a siren.
55:03
Speaker 2: Oh.
55:04
Speaker 3: Are they after you?
55:05
Speaker 16: We live in Manhattan.
55:06
Speaker 4: Yes.
55:07
Speaker 3: They're after you. Yeah, you sound like a troublemaker.
55:09
Speaker 13: No.
55:09
Speaker 3: You sound like a... I could see them coming. Anyway,
55:13
Speaker 3: how old are you, Kay? I shouldn't ask that. That's
55:15
Speaker 3: not a good question.
55:17
Speaker 8: Older.
55:17
Speaker 3: You're an older woman. An older woman. No, you don't
55:19
Speaker 3: have to answer. You don't have to answer.
55:20
Speaker 16: Well, you never ask a lady her age.
55:23
Speaker 3: Absolutely. That is very stupid of me, but you sound
55:25
Speaker 3: like a very nice woman. All right, Kay. Stay out
55:28
Speaker 3: of trouble.
55:30
Speaker 12: All right.
55:30
Speaker 3: Talk to you later. Let's go to Rusty in Florida. Rusty,
55:34
Speaker 3: how you doing? Good, Mark.
55:36
Speaker 12: I'm doing great.
55:37
Speaker 4: How are you doing?
55:37
Speaker 3: First time caller. Very good.
55:40
Speaker 12: Democrats, what they're afraid of is AI is going to
55:43
Speaker 12: end them.
55:44
Speaker 3: That's what it's going to end. Yeah, no, no. They're
55:46
Speaker 3: not afraid of anything. It's the new climate change. People
55:49
Speaker 3: aren't buying the climate change crisis anymore because they've been
55:53
Speaker 3: telling you for 30 years we're going to be underwater.
55:55
Speaker 3: The glacier will melt. Nothing happened. In fact, the opposite
55:57
Speaker 3: is true. This is the new climate change. AI is
55:59
Speaker 3: going to kill everybody. Where are you in Florida?
56:03
Speaker 12: Fort Lauderdale. It's going to be harder for them to lie, though.
56:07
Speaker 3: Well, both, you know, Republicans lie just as much. Politicians,
56:11
Speaker 3: they all lie. That's what they do for a living. Yes,
56:14
Speaker 3: they do. Good point. Thanks for calling. You know, it's funny.
56:18
Speaker 3: If you lie to Congress, if you go speak and
56:21
Speaker 3: testify in Congress, if you lie, they'll put you in jail.
56:25
Speaker 3: But if the congressman lies to us, Nothing happens. Nothing.
56:29
Speaker 3: How many times has Adam Schiff been caught lying? How
56:32
Speaker 3: many times has Ro Khanna been caught lying? There's no
56:36
Speaker 3: bigger liar on earth than Richard Blumenthal. This guy lied
56:39
Speaker 3: about serving in Vietnam. He's gotten caught in a million.
56:42
Speaker 3: Nothing happens. So the law is if you lie to Congress,
56:47
Speaker 3: you go to jail. If they lie to you, nothing.
56:50
Speaker 3: You know, in fact, the law actually is you cannot
56:54
Speaker 3: sue anybody. They don't even face civil charges. You can't
56:58
Speaker 3: sue anybody for anything they say in Congress. Remember when, uh, uh,
57:03
Speaker 3: Harry Reed made up that lie about, he was trying
57:05
Speaker 3: to stop Romney and on the Senate floor, he said,
57:07
Speaker 3: Romney is evaded taxes. He hasn't paid his taxes in years. Well,
57:11
Speaker 3: there was no truth to that at all, but Romney
57:14
Speaker 3: couldn't do anything about it. You can't sue for what
57:16
Speaker 3: they say in Congress. That's the law. It's crazy. I know. But, uh,
57:21
Speaker 3: Romney was a terrible candidate. He should have been on
57:23
Speaker 3: TV that moment saying, come outside and say that on
57:26
Speaker 3: the steps outside the building. Say it here. That would
57:31
Speaker 3: have been the perfect comeback. Anyway, when we come back,
57:33
Speaker 3: the Fed rate will be announced. Everybody's expecting an increase.
57:37
Speaker 3: It'll be announced at 2 o'clock today. We've got the
57:39
Speaker 3: best guy in the world on the subject, John Carney,
57:42
Speaker 3: the best business editor in the world, Breitbart Business. We'll
57:46
Speaker 3: talk to him next on 710WOR. Welcome back to The
57:51
Speaker 3: Mark Simone Show.
57:53
Speaker 9: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
57:57
Speaker 3: Well, John Carney, the editor of the Breitbart Business Digest,
58:01
Speaker 3: which is a very important thing to read every day.
58:04
Speaker 3: The smartest people, Larry Kudlow, Scott Besant, they say it's
58:08
Speaker 3: the first thing they read every morning. The Breitbart Business Digest.
58:11
Speaker 3: You can get it. It's free. Just go to Breitbart.com.
58:15
Speaker 3: Go to newsletters. Sign up for the Breitbart Business Digest.
58:18
Speaker 3: And here's the editor, John Carney. How are you doing?
58:23
Speaker 8: Very good.
58:24
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me, Mark.
58:25
Speaker 3: Hey, 2 o'clock today, they'll announce the new rate. Kevin Warsh,
58:30
Speaker 3: first time. What are we thinking, a quarter of a point?
58:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's almost certainly going to be a quarter of
58:39
Speaker 4: a point hike. I don't think they'll want to go
58:42
Speaker 4: more than that. Market is pricing in a quarter of
58:45
Speaker 4: a point hike. Maybe... one or two more by the
58:49
Speaker 4: end of the year, but they won't want to deliver
58:51
Speaker 4: a shock either by not hiking or by overdoing it
58:57
Speaker 4: all at once. I think they'd go just a quarter point.
58:59
Speaker 3: All right. Let me ask you all the dumb questions
59:01
Speaker 3: people ask, including me. If you have inflation, why would
59:06
Speaker 3: you want a rate hike?
59:09
Speaker 4: Right. Well, so the basic reason is, and again, this
59:12
Speaker 4: is a little bit complicated because monetary policy really does
59:17
Speaker 4: work like a complicated contraption. But when interest rates are higher,
59:25
Speaker 4: people borrow less money for all sorts of business projects.
59:32
Speaker 4: And some more money goes into owning bonds rather than
59:36
Speaker 4: investing in businesses. The effect of that is to lower
59:42
Speaker 4: demand across the economy. At least that's the theory. So
59:46
Speaker 4: you raise rates and you basically slow the economy a little.
59:51
Speaker 4: That hopefully brings down inflationary pressure.
59:55
Speaker 3: Now, there are people listening saying, well, this is going
59:57
Speaker 3: to make it more expensive to get a mortgage. Is
59:59
Speaker 3: that true?
1:00:02
Speaker 4: I don't think that that can be true when the
1:00:04
Speaker 4: Fed raises rates. I don't think it'll be true right
1:00:06
Speaker 4: now because we've actually already seen mortgage rates climb. And
1:00:10
Speaker 4: so the actual hike, because people believe that the Fed
1:00:14
Speaker 4: eventually will have to hike. So the actual hike, I
1:00:19
Speaker 4: don't think will do very much to mortgages. It may
1:00:22
Speaker 4: even bring down longer-term mortgage rates and longer-term interest rates
1:00:27
Speaker 4: across the board because people will say, okay, if the
1:00:30
Speaker 4: Fed is addressing inflation now, it may not have to
1:00:34
Speaker 4: hike as much in the future, and the long rates
1:00:37
Speaker 4: will come down with mortgages.
1:00:39
Speaker 3: All right. Now, here's the other stuff. We love Kevin Warsh.
1:00:43
Speaker 3: We both know him. Good guy. He's going to announce
1:00:47
Speaker 3: at 2 p.m. And then it says at 2.30 he's
1:00:50
Speaker 3: going to hold a press conference. I thought he was
1:00:52
Speaker 3: going to end that tradition of these press conferences.
1:00:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, he would like to. I don't know if he'll
1:00:59
Speaker 4: end it entirely. He does not want to have press
1:01:02
Speaker 4: conferences at the end of every meeting. That was a
1:01:05
Speaker 4: tradition started during the financial crisis. Never used to happen.
1:01:10
Speaker 4: He thinks that you should really only have a press
1:01:13
Speaker 4: conference when you have something important or new to talk about.
1:01:18
Speaker 4: But he did say, look, we've been doing press conferences
1:01:23
Speaker 4: every meeting for a while now. I'm going to keep
1:01:27
Speaker 4: doing it until the end of the year, and then
1:01:30
Speaker 4: I'm going to evaluate what should be done. He also
1:01:32
Speaker 4: has all these task forces that he's assembled to try
1:01:36
Speaker 4: to figure out what the right way for the Fed
1:01:38
Speaker 4: to communicate going forward is. He's very focused on the
1:01:43
Speaker 4: idea that We changed things a lot back when we
1:01:48
Speaker 4: had to drop interest rates to zero because the economy
1:01:51
Speaker 4: was collapsing, because Wall Street blew everything up, and that
1:01:55
Speaker 4: we should be– we're not in that situation anymore. We
1:01:57
Speaker 4: should be rethinking how we do it. But he doesn't
1:02:00
Speaker 4: want to– it would be too much of a shock
1:02:02
Speaker 4: if he just said, you know what, I'm not having
1:02:04
Speaker 4: press conferences anymore at all. So we're going to get
1:02:06
Speaker 4: a couple more this year, and then we'll see what
1:02:08
Speaker 4: happens next year.
1:02:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point. He could spook the market
1:02:12
Speaker 3: by not doing it, so that's– Hey, these AI companies,
1:02:17
Speaker 3: the big four, the cartel, screaming for, please regulate us.
1:02:20
Speaker 3: What is that all about?
1:02:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it is a very well-known thing that businesses do.
1:02:30
Speaker 4: Some people are saying, well, businesses usually don't want to
1:02:33
Speaker 4: be regulated. That's actually wrong. Very often we have seen many,
1:02:36
Speaker 4: many times over the last 150 years, basically since the
1:02:40
Speaker 4: birth of the regulatory state, Businesses attempt to become regulated
1:02:45
Speaker 4: because they want to create anti-competitive moats around their way
1:02:50
Speaker 4: of doing it. So if you can make it really
1:02:53
Speaker 4: expensive to do it and get all the regulations in
1:02:57
Speaker 4: place that help your business or don't hurt it that much...
1:03:01
Speaker 4: then you're actually making it so that it's really hard
1:03:04
Speaker 4: to compete with you. As you put it, you make
1:03:08
Speaker 4: a cartel. So we'll have a cartel of two or
1:03:11
Speaker 4: three of the biggest companies, and everybody else will get
1:03:13
Speaker 4: squeezed out. That's a big part of what's going on.
1:03:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this handful of companies controls all the AI.
1:03:19
Speaker 3: In other words, they want to close the fence now,
1:03:22
Speaker 3: shut the gates so nobody else can get in this.
1:03:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. And, you know, they have a point.
1:03:29
Speaker 4: There are real risks. But their way of regulating things
1:03:33
Speaker 4: is probably wrong. I'm going to have on Breitbart Business
1:03:36
Speaker 4: Digest a much cleaner solution that doesn't create these kind
1:03:41
Speaker 4: of regulatory gates around the industry, but also highly incentivizes
1:03:48
Speaker 4: the big companies in particular to make sure that their
1:03:52
Speaker 4: product is safe. Yeah.
1:03:55
Speaker 3: Hey, you wrote about this. Everybody thinks retail is dead.
1:03:58
Speaker 3: It's dying. Retail sales are actually higher, aren't they?
1:04:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're booming. It is a lot. So the background
1:04:07
Speaker 4: here is a lot of people thought, like, look, gas
1:04:09
Speaker 4: prices have gone up. They're really high. That should hurt
1:04:14
Speaker 4: sales elsewhere in the economy. You know, every dollar you
1:04:16
Speaker 4: spend put into your gas tank is a dollar less
1:04:19
Speaker 4: you have to spend at a restaurant. That's the theory. Frankly,
1:04:24
Speaker 4: I buy that theory. The problem is it's not happening.
1:04:28
Speaker 4: The American consumers are saying, no, we're fine. When you
1:04:33
Speaker 4: look at, so there's a category, they call it food
1:04:36
Speaker 4: services and drinking places, bars and restaurants is what the
1:04:39
Speaker 4: rest of us would call it. That's highly discretionary. If
1:04:43
Speaker 4: people are running out of money, that's one of the
1:04:45
Speaker 4: first places you start to see it go down. It's
1:04:52
Speaker 4: up 1.2% just in the month. And year over year,
1:04:56
Speaker 4: it's up 4.2%. So people are spending on the most
1:04:59
Speaker 4: discretionary categories and spent a lot more in August. That's
1:05:04
Speaker 4: not a consumer that is in pain.
1:05:08
Speaker 3: Wow. Hey, but oil, now $ 103 a barrel. Brent crude,
1:05:12
Speaker 3: $ 106 a barrel. We can't keep that up for very long,
1:05:13
Speaker 3: can we?
1:05:18
Speaker 4: No, that is really too high. It needs to come down.
1:05:26
Speaker 4: The latest impetus to it was not the Strait of Hormuz,
1:05:28
Speaker 4: but the other strait that connects the Red Sea. That's
1:05:31
Speaker 4: where the pipelines were going. That was going to be
1:05:33
Speaker 4: the workaround. Now we have these maniac Houthis who are
1:05:38
Speaker 4: eye on the plant they call Kot, and they have RPGs,
1:05:42
Speaker 4: and they have shut down the other missiles that they
1:05:48
Speaker 4: got from Iran. It's the same problem. It's just a
1:05:51
Speaker 4: different group of Iranian-backed maniacs. They've now caused the problem
1:06:00
Speaker 4: in the other strait. These bottlenecks are driving up the prices.
1:06:05
Speaker 4: It needs to come down one way or the other.
1:06:08
Speaker 4: It will eventually put a lot of strain on the economy.
1:06:12
Speaker 4: But as I said, right now, I mean, gas prices,
1:06:19
Speaker 4: as everybody listening to this knows, if you drive, gas
1:06:23
Speaker 4: prices went up a lot in August. And the gas
1:06:27
Speaker 4: station sales were up 3.2%. That's not because people wanted
1:06:30
Speaker 4: to buy more.
1:06:31
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
1:06:32
Speaker 4: Well, because that includes the gas itself.
1:06:35
Speaker 11: Wow.
1:06:35
Speaker 4: Right? So people spent a lot more at gas stations
1:06:40
Speaker 4: in August.
1:06:42
Speaker 3: Sorry, 3.1%.
1:06:42
Speaker 4: Don't want to mislead anybody, but 3.1% up. And that
1:06:51
Speaker 4: still did not stop people from spending elsewhere in the economy.
1:06:54
Speaker 4: I think eventually it will if they stay that high.
1:06:57
Speaker 4: And by the way, even if right now, it's a
1:07:01
Speaker 4: pretty big political problem for Republicans. People voted against Biden
1:07:06
Speaker 4: in large part because they didn't like inflation and because
1:07:08
Speaker 4: gas prices were too high. Donald Trump ran on an
1:07:12
Speaker 4: energy abundance. High gasoline prices are bad for the brand
1:07:17
Speaker 4: of Republicans. Yeah.
1:07:19

Speaker 3: on the weekend, it's the first time I heard him
1:08:32
Speaker 3: use this expression in a weather forecast. It said fall-like temperatures. Yeah,
1:08:38
Speaker 3: it's going to be like 70 will be the high
1:08:40
Speaker 3: on Saturday, 71 on Sunday. So it's going to be
1:08:43
Speaker 3: a cool weekend. And then autumn officially begins a week
1:08:47
Speaker 3: from today. A week from today will be the first
1:08:49
Speaker 3: day of fall. Hey, we got a lot to get
1:08:52
Speaker 3: to in the next hour. It's three hours, nine to
1:08:54
Speaker 3: noon every day here on 710WOR. The Mark Simone Show.
1:09:01
Speaker 9: On 710WOR. Well, hey, it's Wednesday.
1:09:06
Speaker 3: It's going to be a nice day today. We've got
1:09:08
Speaker 3: a lot to get to this hour. The Carnegie Deli, well,
1:09:10
Speaker 3: we'll get to that. It reopened. We'll get to President Trump.
1:09:14
Speaker 3: We'll get to Ed Sheeran. Ed Sheeran, oh, this guy.
1:09:21
Speaker 3: More trouble on this tour. So Ed Sheeran has Macklemore
1:09:25
Speaker 3: as the opening act. Macklemore, the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel. You know,
1:09:30
Speaker 3: you're just there to sing. It's like if you're Bruce.
1:09:34
Speaker 3: Didn't Laura Ingraham write a book called Shut Up and Sing?
1:09:36
Speaker 3: You're there to entertain people. This is not about Palestine.
1:09:40
Speaker 3: This is not about Israel. You're just there to entertain people.
1:09:45
Speaker 3: not to mention you're a rock and roll guy. You
1:09:46
Speaker 3: got an IQ of about 87. We don't need your
1:09:50
Speaker 3: opinion on all of this stuff. So Macklemore was forced
1:09:54
Speaker 3: off the tour because he was opening for Ed Sheeran.
1:09:57
Speaker 3: Macklemore with his anti-Israel, anti-Semitic crap. Some venues didn't want
1:10:03
Speaker 3: to allow him there, including Bob Craft. Good for him
1:10:07
Speaker 3: at Gillette Stadium. So he was removed from the tour, Macklemore. Well,
1:10:13
Speaker 3: now everybody's quitting the Ed Sheeran tour. All the people
1:10:17
Speaker 3: that were opening for him, Billy Eilish has got a brother, Phineas. Phineas?
1:10:24
Speaker 3: Phineas Eilish? Irish singer-songwriter Aaron Rowe, Danish band Lucas Graham,
1:10:34
Speaker 3: Irish folk group. All these people, they're all quitting. They're
1:10:37
Speaker 3: not going to open for Ed Sheeran. in solidarity with
1:10:41
Speaker 3: the anti-Semite Macklemore, who likes to come out and yell,
1:10:45
Speaker 3: free Palestine. You know, you pay a couple hundred dollars
1:10:48
Speaker 3: for a concert ticket and have some guy lecture you
1:10:50
Speaker 3: about something, and it has to be something anti-Semitic. And
1:10:54
Speaker 3: he was wearing a, how do you say that? A kifa,
1:10:57
Speaker 3: whatever it is, draped over his shoulders. So they're all out.
1:11:03
Speaker 3: They will not open for Ed Sheeran. You know what?
1:11:06
Speaker 3: Get a comedian.
1:11:07
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:11:08
Speaker 3: Although with that crowd, I don't know if that'll work.
1:11:13
Speaker 3: Ed Sheeran is trying to spin this. He's backing off. Oh, no,
1:11:18
Speaker 3: he's actually backing Macklemore. He's Sheeran is saying it was
1:11:23
Speaker 3: the promoter's decision. It was not mine. The Macklemore's contract
1:11:29
Speaker 3: for the tour was with the promoter, not me. And
1:11:35
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. If you're going to
1:11:38
Speaker 3: back somebody, not this anti-Semite. Maybe it was. I mean, obviously,
1:11:42
Speaker 3: it's the promoter involved. But it's you. It's your tour.
1:11:46
Speaker 3: And good for the promoter. Just throw these guys off
1:11:48
Speaker 3: the tour. You know what? You're there to sing, entertain.
1:11:51
Speaker 3: That's it. We don't want to hear from you on
1:11:53
Speaker 3: anything else. Hey, we were talking about these AI companies before.
1:11:59
Speaker 3: They are loaded up with, first of all, left-wing, real
1:12:04
Speaker 3: left-wing Obama people. they're loaded up with a lot of CIA, ex-CIA,
1:12:12
Speaker 3: those same guys who launched the Russia hoax. You'd recognize
1:12:15
Speaker 3: the names, the same guys that were involved with the
1:12:19
Speaker 3: coverup of the Hunter Biden laptop, you know, the signing
1:12:22
Speaker 3: those lists. So these guys, these AI companies, you have
1:12:24
Speaker 3: any idea how much money they make? It's not billions.
1:12:28
Speaker 3: It's like trillions, this cartel. So they can buy off
1:12:31
Speaker 3: these politicians left and right. Now they happen to be Democrats.
1:12:34
Speaker 3: So they bought off the Democrats and, And they're big
1:12:38
Speaker 3: Democratic donors. You can buy off the Republicans, too. Plenty
1:12:41
Speaker 3: of companies do that. But these guys have bought off Democrats.
1:12:44
Speaker 3: They are very, very busy coordinating this cartel. Obama is
1:12:50
Speaker 3: sort of their coach. He's advising them on this. So
1:12:55
Speaker 3: this whole, we demand to be regulated, as John Carney,
1:12:58
Speaker 3: the best business brain of all, explained to us before.
1:13:02
Speaker 3: It's happened before where a bunch of companies, a handful
1:13:06
Speaker 3: of companies, totally monopolize and dominate an industry. They become
1:13:10
Speaker 3: a cartel, and then they call for regulation, bureaucracy, red tape,
1:13:15
Speaker 3: regulation to keep everybody else out, sort of close the
1:13:18
Speaker 3: gate behind them so no one else can get in.
1:13:21
Speaker 3: And these four companies dominate AI. They control it all.
1:13:26
Speaker 3: But on the horizon, there are a lot of young
1:13:29
Speaker 3: startups that can come up. You'll notice in the days
1:13:32
Speaker 3: as AI began, a company could rise up and take
1:13:34
Speaker 3: over pretty fast. So they want A ton of regulation
1:13:37
Speaker 3: stopped that from happening. The Carnegie Deli reopened yesterday. There
1:13:44
Speaker 3: was a line down the block. Check out my Instagram.
1:13:47
Speaker 3: You can see some pictures and stuff. Go to MarkSimoneNYC
1:13:51
Speaker 3: at Instagram. The original Carnegie, the famous Carnegie of the 70s, 80s, 90s,
1:13:57
Speaker 3: that was Leo Steiner, the great Leo Steiner. His partner,
1:14:01
Speaker 3: Milton Parker. Leo was the personality. the guy that was
1:14:05
Speaker 3: always all over television, the guy that was friends with
1:14:07
Speaker 3: all the celebrities. He died young. Milton Parker was more
1:14:11
Speaker 3: the serious guy, the business guy. And he ran it.
1:14:15
Speaker 3: He kept the place going. And it's now run. It
1:14:18
Speaker 3: was run a few years ago by his daughter, Marion.
1:14:21
Speaker 3: It's actually Marion Harper. But now her daughter, granddaughter of
1:14:25
Speaker 3: the original owner, Sari Harper, is the new boss, the
1:14:29
Speaker 3: new CEO running the Carnegie. It's in a different location.
1:14:35
Speaker 3: Strangely enough, it's where the Stage Deli was, their arch
1:14:38
Speaker 3: rival for years. It's, I think, nicer looking. I think
1:14:42
Speaker 3: it's a little smaller. Well, the old Carnegie was about
1:14:46
Speaker 3: the same size, but then remember they knocked through to
1:14:48
Speaker 3: next door and took over that building. But it's a
1:14:51
Speaker 3: nice size and shape. It's very well laid out. The
1:14:54
Speaker 3: food is as good as ever. The sandwiches are bigger
1:14:57
Speaker 3: than ever. Prices didn't go up very much. They now added,
1:15:01
Speaker 3: besides the great cheesecake, they've added a black and white
1:15:03
Speaker 3: cookie that's very good. So the Carnegie is back. A
1:15:06
Speaker 3: lot of people there yesterday. Here's a customer. Everybody's trying
1:15:09
Speaker 3: to be modern.
1:15:10
Speaker 5: Everybody's trying to be cool and chic.
1:15:12
Speaker 9: And this is just nostalgic, original, what delis in New
1:15:15
Speaker 9: York are all about.
1:15:16
Speaker 5: And there aren't any of those around like this.
1:15:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, everything is, you're right. Everything's modern. Everything's new.
1:15:22
Speaker 3: And if you're the big Instagram food sensation, you know
1:15:25
Speaker 3: it's going to be dot cake. Right now it's this
1:15:29
Speaker 3: bakery downtown called Rye. That's the hot thing. It's a
1:15:31
Speaker 3: $ 60 loaf of rye bread that's incredible. And you can
1:15:36
Speaker 3: go in and get slices. You can get a slice
1:15:38
Speaker 3: with different toppings. That's like the hot Instagram thing right now.
1:15:43
Speaker 3: Delis were gone. Delis were dead. Diners are dying. You know,
1:15:48
Speaker 3: the younger generations came along that weren't interested in delis.
1:15:52
Speaker 3: You know, younger generations, especially in the Jewish community, the
1:15:56
Speaker 3: young generations, they don't want to go to the Catskills.
1:15:58
Speaker 3: They don't want to go to a deli. They want
1:15:59
Speaker 3: all the modern stuff. So it's tough to be an
1:16:04
Speaker 3: Instagram sensation as a deli selling a pastrami sandwich. But
1:16:08
Speaker 3: Carnegie doing very well. There's a guy that, he lives
1:16:11
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, but he would come in a couple
1:16:15
Speaker 3: times a year for the Carnegie. He was the first
1:16:17
Speaker 3: guy in line. He waited many hours in line yesterday.
1:16:20
Speaker 3: And they even put his picture on. There's a wall
1:16:22
Speaker 3: of pictures. If you look hard, you'll find my picture
1:16:25
Speaker 3: up there somewhere. But yeah. this guy, they decided to
1:16:28
Speaker 3: put his picture.
1:16:28
Speaker 8: On the wall.
1:16:29
Speaker 11: You drove all the way from Pennsylvania.
1:16:30
Speaker 2: You're going to be on the wall of fame.
1:16:32
Speaker 9: Why, why, why Carnegie deli?
1:16:34
Speaker 4: Why is this such an important place for you?
1:16:36
Speaker 12: Now I'm going to.
1:16:36
Speaker 4: Ask you a better question.
1:16:38
Speaker 9: Are you out of your mind? This is the only
1:16:40
Speaker 9: place to be.
1:16:41
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:16:42
Speaker 3: Well, it is.
1:16:43
Speaker 4: It is.
1:16:43
Speaker 3: Uh, all right. The most famous thing there is the
1:16:46
Speaker 3: pastrami rye mustard. Uh, some people like the corned beef.
1:16:51
Speaker 3: They got a, uh, a new one. It's a, Actually,
1:16:54
Speaker 3: I think it's everything. It's corned beef, pastrami, turkey, like
1:16:59
Speaker 3: everything on one sandwich. It's about a foot high. Very
1:17:03
Speaker 3: tough to eat. The cheesecake is as good as ever. Again,
1:17:06
Speaker 3: the black and white cookie has been added. The one
1:17:10
Speaker 3: thing I wish they... You can't find this anymore, but
1:17:12
Speaker 3: they used to have the rudest... Not rude. Surly waiters.
1:17:16
Speaker 3: Surly waiters. Those big, fat, old... Herb, what's his name?
1:17:20
Speaker 3: What do you have? What else? What else? They're barking
1:17:23
Speaker 3: at you. They're all young, nice-looking, sharp people. So it's different.
1:17:29
Speaker 3: But I guess you can't find those kind of guys anymore.
1:17:31
Speaker 3: They don't exist anymore. Those old countermen that worked behind
1:17:34
Speaker 3: the deli slicing and dicing, they all had big muscles
1:17:38
Speaker 3: and tattoos, and they were all from Brooklyn to Bronx.
1:17:44
Speaker 3: You don't find it. Everybody was very young working in there,
1:17:47
Speaker 3: very young. But it's a great place. The New Carnegie is...
1:17:52
Speaker 3: One block south of the old Kearney. It's where the
1:17:55
Speaker 3: old Stage Deli was. Go in and try it. You'll
1:17:59
Speaker 3: love it. It's doing very, very well. It's not that bad.
1:18:02
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't have to wait too long, but
1:18:03
Speaker 3: it's very, very good. We're waiting for 2 o'clock. The
1:18:07
Speaker 3: Fed will announce most likely a rate hike of a
1:18:10
Speaker 3: quarter of a point, but it'll be the first hike
1:18:12
Speaker 3: in three years. The president won't be too happy about it,
1:18:16
Speaker 3: but it's probably the right thing to do, the quarter
1:18:18
Speaker 3: of a point. The stock market, they like it. The
1:18:23
Speaker 3: stock market is pretty even right now, not dropping. We'll
1:18:26
Speaker 3: see what happens.
1:18:28
Speaker 4: And then.
1:18:30
Speaker 3: The big problem is the price of oil. It's up.
1:18:33
Speaker 3: It's up way too high right now. Our oil that
1:18:36
Speaker 3: we use, $ 102 a barrel. Brent crude, the rest of
1:18:38
Speaker 3: the world uses, about $ 105 a barrel. A big problem
1:18:47
Speaker 3: is diesel fuel. Diesel is way up. President Trump blaming
1:18:51
Speaker 3: Zelensky for that because Zelensky has been very good at
1:18:56
Speaker 3: fighting off Russia. And he's really been on the offense.
1:19:00
Speaker 3: He's been launching. He's got these missiles and drones that
1:19:02
Speaker 3: he's built there in these factories that he created. Long-range
1:19:06
Speaker 3: missiles and drones. And he's been able to strike deep
1:19:10
Speaker 3: into Russia. And he's been hitting their fuel refineries and
1:19:14
Speaker 3: taking out... But he's knocked out some of their diesel
1:19:18
Speaker 3: refineries that make the diesel fuel. And the result of
1:19:21
Speaker 3: that is diesel prices are rising all over the world.
1:19:25
Speaker 3: And that's to hurt Russia because that's what they sell.
1:19:28
Speaker 3: But it's hurting everybody, including us, with the high diesel fuel.
1:19:31
Speaker 3: So apparently the president yelling at Zelensky... Stop hitting the
1:19:35
Speaker 3: diesel refineries. Stop going after them. Hey, we talked about
1:19:40
Speaker 3: this Gavin Newsom interview with Jake Tapper, two of the
1:19:44
Speaker 3: most boring guys on CNN. They were fly fishing. I
1:19:47
Speaker 3: forgot to mention the other thing. In this interview, if
1:19:50
Speaker 3: you watch it, which nobody did, and it's too long,
1:19:52
Speaker 3: who the hell can watch the whole thing? Newsom admits,
1:19:56
Speaker 3: actually admits to making all kinds of mistakes during the
1:20:00
Speaker 3: pandemic and the lockdown, he now admits closing the beaches
1:20:06
Speaker 3: was pretty dumb. Closing the beaches was pretty stupid. It
1:20:10
Speaker 3: didn't make any sense at all. A lot of places
1:20:13
Speaker 3: did not close beaches, but he did. He also said
1:20:16
Speaker 3: they made huge mistakes about closing the schools. They didn't
1:20:19
Speaker 3: reopen when they should have. And of course, remember, Fauci
1:20:24
Speaker 3: made some of the dumbest recommendations ever. But it's nice
1:20:29
Speaker 3: to see people admit that kind of stuff. Hey, we're
1:20:31
Speaker 3: talking about this before Harry Reed, uh, when Mitt Romney
1:20:36
Speaker 3: was running for president, he was doing pretty well. And
1:20:38
Speaker 3: the law is you can say anything on the floor
1:20:40
Speaker 3: of the Senate. Nobody can sue you for it. So
1:20:44
Speaker 3: Harry Reed, Harry Reed, all of a sudden the Senate
1:20:48
Speaker 3: floor claims that Romney has not paid his taxes in years.
1:20:53
Speaker 3: There's no truth to this. It's total fiction. He just lied.
1:20:56
Speaker 3: He just made it up. I forgot. Joe conscious sent
1:20:58
Speaker 3: me this, uh, Reid later, when he was out of office,
1:21:02
Speaker 3: admitted he lied, said he had no regrets about it.
1:21:04
Speaker 3: He said it was the right thing to do at
1:21:06
Speaker 3: the time. Unbelievable that he would actually admit it.
1:21:09
Speaker 11: He used the Senate floor to go after GOP mega donors,
1:21:13
Speaker 11: the Koch brothers, and accused Mitt Romney of not paying
1:21:16
Speaker 11: his taxes with no evidence.
1:21:19
Speaker 15: Better prove that he has paid taxes because he hasn't.
1:21:22
Speaker 3: A lie.
1:21:25
Speaker 4: No, no regrets.
1:21:25
Speaker 7: He doesn't regret lying because he got that law, which
1:21:28
Speaker 7: they should change.
1:21:29
Speaker 9: You can say anything you want on the Senate floor.
1:21:32
Speaker 9: Nobody can sue you for it.
1:21:48
Speaker 3: Hey, John Fetterman, you know, he's a very common sense guy.
1:21:52
Speaker 3: And a lot of people think he doesn't fit in
1:21:54
Speaker 3: with the Democrats. He should become a Republican. There's been
1:21:57
Speaker 3: a lot of talk about that. But don't tell Fetterman that.
1:22:02
Speaker 3: He's not happy about that. Take a listen. I'm not
1:22:05
Speaker 3: going to be a Republican. And why can't you guys
1:22:09
Speaker 3: just wait until the midterm, you know?
1:22:12
Speaker 11: And if I turn a Republican and then I'll be
1:22:14
Speaker 11: a liar then.
1:22:15
Speaker 3: Like, it's just... Like, my name is not on the ballot.
1:22:19
Speaker 4: Like, chill and wait for the midterm here.
1:22:22
Speaker 3: I've always been a Democrat.
1:22:25
Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:22:25
Speaker 3: First of all, he can't be a Republican. He'd have
1:22:27
Speaker 3: to put on a suit and tie. He can't do that.
1:22:30
Speaker 3: The shorts, the hoodie. He always looks like he's going
1:22:33
Speaker 3: to a basketball game, not Congress. And it turns out,
1:22:38
Speaker 3: according to several exposés, he doesn't like to work too much.
1:22:41
Speaker 3: He's barely there. He misses meetings all the time. He
1:22:46
Speaker 3: has a system now where he can show up for
1:22:48
Speaker 3: a second, get clocked in as attending a Senate meeting,
1:22:55
Speaker 3: but leave immediately. So he's not really there. So, hey,
1:22:59
Speaker 3: there's stuff coming out about the assassination, the attempted assassination, Butler, Pennsylvania,
1:23:05
Speaker 3: of Trump. And stuff coming up about the assassin. Weird stuff.
1:23:11
Speaker 3: And you remember he was cremated right after. That was
1:23:13
Speaker 3: kind of odd. His family said they didn't have money
1:23:16
Speaker 3: even to cremate him. So an anonymous donor paid it
1:23:19
Speaker 3: to get him quickly cremated. It's very strange. Normally, we
1:23:22
Speaker 3: know everything about an assassin. Nothing in this case. It's
1:23:26
Speaker 3: slowly coming out. But the guy was a weird kid
1:23:31
Speaker 3: who trained himself to be a marksman at great distance.
1:23:37
Speaker 3: And he would have killed Trump. He was aiming right
1:23:39
Speaker 3: for his head. You know, had he aimed for the chest,
1:23:41
Speaker 3: he probably would have been successful. Trump wouldn't have been
1:23:43
Speaker 3: able to turn far enough. But he was aiming for
1:23:45
Speaker 3: the head, and in the most astonishing coincidence, there's a
1:23:51
Speaker 3: graph that Trump uses about immigration. It goes at the end,
1:23:55
Speaker 3: at the very end of the speech. The woman that
1:23:57
Speaker 3: runs the graphics made a mistake and put it up
1:23:59
Speaker 3: too early. All of a sudden, she put it up,
1:24:02
Speaker 3: and he turned to look at it. He said, that's
1:24:05
Speaker 3: not now. As he turned to look at it, just
1:24:07
Speaker 3: as the shot was fired, he turned to look at it,
1:24:09
Speaker 3: and that's why it missed his skull. and only hit
1:24:12
Speaker 3: his ear. Take a listen to that frightening moment.
1:24:15
Speaker 15: I want to really see something that said, take.
1:24:18
Speaker 9: A look at what happened.
1:24:27
Speaker 3: And it was horrifying. I remember somebody was killed there.
1:24:29
Speaker 3: People were shot behind Trump. So they're looking into the assassination.
1:24:34
Speaker 3: Todd Blanch, the attorney general, he did the press briefing yesterday.
1:24:37
Speaker 3: He was asked about it. I was there with him.
1:24:39
Speaker 3: I lived it.
1:24:40
Speaker 17: I mean, you have a situation where where it's not
1:24:42
Speaker 17: really clear what the leadership of the FBI were doing
1:24:46
Speaker 17: in the weeks and months ahead of the attempted assassination
1:24:50
Speaker 17: to protect President Trump. That's the same organization that was
1:24:53
Speaker 17: simultaneously trying to put him in prison until he dies.
1:24:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, something weird happened. They should have known everything and
1:24:59
Speaker 3: uncovered everything about that assassin within a couple of days.
1:25:02
Speaker 3: It's getting looked into now, but a little too late. Hey,
1:25:06
Speaker 3: we'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710.
1:25:13
Speaker 3: We always like to have some new callers. 800-321-0710. No.
1:25:18
Speaker 3: The Mark Simone Show.

1:25:26
Speaker 9: Hey, let's take some calls.
1:25:29
Speaker 3: Let's go to Dr. Bob, a great surgeon in Long Island. Dr. Bob,
1:25:34
Speaker 3: how you doing?
1:25:35
Speaker 14: I'm good, Mark. Mark, I can't let you corner the
1:25:38
Speaker 14: market there. You know, we have Pastrami and Friends in Comac,
1:25:42
Speaker 14: and we also have Lido Beach Deli. And Pastrami and
1:25:46
Speaker 14: Friends offers lean pastrami, but also juicy. But juicy, you
1:25:51
Speaker 14: better have your Lipitor or Crestor ready.
1:25:54
Speaker 3: That's okay, but it's not the Carnegie Deli.
1:25:57
Speaker 14: Yeah, but there's no congestion pricing, Mark.
1:26:01
Speaker 3: You've got plenty of expense going out to Long Island. Hey,
1:26:04
Speaker 3: you've got Ben's Deli, Ben's Kosher Deli, all over Long Island.
1:26:07
Speaker 14: That's okay.
1:26:08
Speaker 3: It's okay. What do you mean it's okay? There's one
1:26:10
Speaker 3: in Bayside. There's one in, is it Woodbury?
1:26:12
Speaker 18: They're good.
1:26:13
Speaker 19: They're all right.
1:26:14
Speaker 14: But these others are classic. They're similar to the city,
1:26:18
Speaker 14: but the city is special. I'll admit that.
1:26:22
Speaker 3: Let me just point out something. They're not the same
1:26:24
Speaker 3: as the city. I know you. Everybody in every suburb,
1:26:27
Speaker 3: in the suburbs that take you to a restaurant go,
1:26:29
Speaker 3: it's as good as anything in the city, isn't it? No,
1:26:32
Speaker 3: it's not even close.
1:26:33
Speaker 14: You got to disjoint your joint to get the sandwich
1:26:36
Speaker 14: in your mouth.
1:26:37
Speaker 3: All right. You can handle it. You're a surgeon. It's
1:26:39
Speaker 3: good for business.
1:26:41
Speaker 12: Thanks, Mark.
1:26:41
Speaker 3: All right. Thanks. Any suburb. Go visit anybody in any suburb.
1:26:46
Speaker 3: They'll take you to a restaurant. Tell the truth. It's
1:26:48
Speaker 3: as good as anything in the city. No, it's not
1:26:50
Speaker 3: even close. Then the other one they'll take. You know,
1:26:54
Speaker 3: people come from the city to eat here. Yeah, if
1:26:56
Speaker 3: their car broke down on the highway, maybe. No, they
1:26:59
Speaker 3: don't come from the city to eat there. Let's go
1:27:01
Speaker 3: to Aaron in Brooklyn. Aaron, how you doing?
1:27:04
Speaker 18: I got a lot of within uh... first of all
1:27:06
Speaker 18: i think it's not anti-semitic that medicare mcmitic anti-semitic and
1:27:11
Speaker 18: it's kosher that so-called wet beds kosher delhi may or
1:27:14
Speaker 18: may not be kosher and that they call it because
1:27:16
Speaker 18: it doesn't make it so and the ones you talk
1:27:18
Speaker 18: about that circuit gary cheesecake with beat it can't possibly
1:27:22
Speaker 18: be kosher uh.
1:27:23
Speaker 14: quality of the.
1:27:24
Speaker 3: Place to tell you you're a little.
1:27:25
Speaker 18: Annoying probably yes.
1:27:30
Speaker 15: Probably.
1:27:30
Speaker 3: The Carnegie never claims to be kosher. Oh, you're talking
1:27:33
Speaker 3: about Ben's kosher deli.
1:27:34
Speaker 2: Right.
1:27:35
Speaker 18: Which may be.
1:27:36
Speaker 12: I don't know.
1:27:37
Speaker 18: I was the lone holdout juror on a murder case
1:27:40
Speaker 18: roughly 40 years ago.
1:27:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're the kind of troublemaker that would do that.
1:27:44
Speaker 3: Everybody wants to go home. This guy's got to annoy everybody.
1:27:47
Speaker 4: That's true.
1:27:48
Speaker 3: Why did you hold out?
1:27:50
Speaker 18: I want things right.
1:27:51
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:27:53
Speaker 18: I don't go along with the crowd.
1:27:55
Speaker 3: I can tell. The crowd runs when they see you.
1:27:58
Speaker 3: Don't worry. Anyway... You're a nice guy, Aaron, but don't
1:28:01
Speaker 3: call again. No, I'm kidding. Call anytime you want. Let's
1:28:05
Speaker 3: go to Bill in Idaho. Bill, how you doing?
1:28:09
Speaker 4: Hey, Mark.
1:28:10
Speaker 14: How are you?
1:28:11
Speaker 3: Good.
1:28:12
Speaker 8: Maybe it's just me, but listening to Democrats reminds me
1:28:16
Speaker 8: of listening to the old pro wrestling fans. You remember
1:28:19
Speaker 8: pro wrestling? It used to be a state with daytime
1:28:23
Speaker 8: TV and there were matches all scripted.
1:28:26
Speaker 3: Daytime... Wait a minute, pro wrestling was a staple at
1:28:29
Speaker 3: daytime TV? How old are you?
1:28:32
Speaker 4: Oh. Oh.
1:28:34
Speaker 3: You mean like with Dennis James and Gorgeous George? That
1:28:37
Speaker 3: kind of stuff?
1:28:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, Gorgeous George and Virgin Mary.
1:28:40
Speaker 8: The Iron Sheik or Andre the Giant.
1:28:43
Speaker 3: Andre the Giant? That's a million years ago.
1:28:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, but here's the thing.
1:28:48
Speaker 8: You could not, Housewives were the biggest fans and you
1:28:52
Speaker 8: could not convince them that it was fake. No way.
1:28:56
Speaker 3: Well, it's the same thing with politics, you know, so
1:28:59
Speaker 3: What do you think, this color TV, will it catch on?
1:29:01
Speaker 3: Or will people stick with the black and white set?
1:29:04
Speaker 8: I mean, Trump the villain versus Chuckie Schumer, the good guy,
1:29:08
Speaker 8: I don't know.
1:29:08
Speaker 4: I mean.
1:29:09
Speaker 3: Yeah. All right, Bill, thanks for calling. Let's go see
1:29:12
Speaker 3: if we can find a normal person here. Let's go
1:29:15
Speaker 3: to Gracie in Rockland County. Gracie, how are you doing?
1:29:18
Speaker 10: Hi, how are you doing? Listen, affordability, affordability, the gas
1:29:22
Speaker 10: is so much, the food is so much here. But
1:29:25
Speaker 10: maybe if you didn't go to Starbucks, And you didn't
1:29:28
Speaker 10: pay $ 60 for a loaf of rye bread. Put your
1:29:33
Speaker 10: prep in order. Worry about if Iran gets the bomb
1:29:37
Speaker 10: and we're blown away.
1:29:37
Speaker 3: Hey, let me go where I want to go. I'll
1:29:39
Speaker 3: buy what I want to buy.
1:29:40
Speaker 9: I'll shop where I want to shop.
1:29:41
Speaker 10: Honey, you can afford it.
1:29:44
Speaker 8: I want to know.
1:29:45
Speaker 3: All right, stop yelling. She does make a good point, though.
1:29:50
Speaker 3: There's a lot of these people that complain about prices.
1:29:53
Speaker 3: And then they go to Starbucks and pay $ 8 for coffee. Hey,
1:29:57
Speaker 3: walk down the hall here. We got six coffee machines
1:29:59
Speaker 3: in that kitchen. It's free. I still see people coming
1:30:03
Speaker 3: in with the Starbucks cup. Let's go to Jerry in
1:30:06
Speaker 3: New Brunswick. Jerry, how you doing? Good, Mark.
1:30:09
Speaker 19: Thanks for taking the call. You know, I just wanted
1:30:12
Speaker 19: to ask you, when are the American people going to
1:30:14
Speaker 19: wise up and realize that Islam is fundamentally a political movement,
1:30:20
Speaker 19: not a religion?
1:30:22
Speaker 3: Well, actually, it's both. For some people, it's a religion.
1:30:25
Speaker 3: There's a fanatical side to every religion. It happens. There's
1:30:30
Speaker 3: a fanatical bunch of Muslims. There's a bunch of religious Muslims.
1:30:33
Speaker 3: You can't overgeneralize.
1:30:36
Speaker 14: But how do you separate, Mark?
1:30:38
Speaker 3: Well, you can tell. There's some very peaceful religious Muslims,
1:30:42
Speaker 3: and then there are the fanatical, lunatic, crazy Muslims. Again,
1:30:47
Speaker 3: there's like a fanatical side. The A little small fanatical
1:30:52
Speaker 3: side to every religion. One more. Let's go to George
1:30:55
Speaker 3: in Port Jefferson. George, how are you doing?
1:30:58
Speaker 15: I'm doing great, Mark. The Carnegie, it's nice to see
1:31:00
Speaker 15: coming back. Maybe New York.
1:31:02
Speaker 18: Will come back.
1:31:03
Speaker 3: They never left. New York is here.
1:31:05
Speaker 15: Well, you know, I've worked at a place I'm sure
1:31:08
Speaker 15: you know, a very famous place. I worked at the
1:31:10
Speaker 15: brasserie in the Seagram's building.
1:31:12
Speaker 13: 52nd and Park. Right.
1:31:15
Speaker 3: Open all night, 24 hours. We used to go there
1:31:17
Speaker 3: at 4 in the morning.
1:31:18
Speaker 15: I worked a night shift, and when the bars closed,
1:31:21
Speaker 15: every celebrity.
1:31:22
Speaker 3: Who would come... We used to go there every night
1:31:25
Speaker 3: at 4 a.m. and leave at 7.
1:31:26
Speaker 15: Right, and I used to see Clyde Frazier come with
1:31:29
Speaker 15: his fur coat, and Joe Namath came. They were comparing coats.
1:31:33
Speaker 15: It was a great experience.
1:31:34
Speaker 3: The greatest place, and you had to come down a
1:31:36
Speaker 3: little staircase to get in.
1:31:37
Speaker 15: Right, and everybody saw you.
1:31:38
Speaker 3: Door open, everybody watched the staircase to see who was
1:31:41
Speaker 3: coming in.
1:31:41
Speaker 15: Mark, the onions, they were famous for their onion soup.
1:31:44
Speaker 15: It was an urban legend that the onion soup was
1:31:47
Speaker 15: sober you up. And you know what was in the
1:31:48
Speaker 15: onion soup, the secret that the chef would put in?
1:31:51
Speaker 3: What?
1:31:53
Speaker 15: Lee and Perrin's Worcestershire sauce.
1:31:55
Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
1:31:56
Speaker 3: Well, great memories, George. Thanks for calling. I ate there
1:31:59
Speaker 3: 7,000 times. I never had the onion soup. But anyway... Oh,
1:32:02
Speaker 3: when we come back, Ann Coulter will be with us next.
1:32:05
Speaker 3: Lots to talk to her about. We'll talk to Ann
1:32:07
Speaker 3: Coulter next on 710WOR.
1:32:11
Speaker 9: It's the Mark Simone Show. Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
1:32:18
Speaker 3: Well, Ann Coulter, the best-selling author, the great columnist. She's
1:32:22
Speaker 3: also got a big Rumble channel. You should be watching
1:32:25
Speaker 3: her Rumble channel. And, of course, follow her on Twitter.
1:32:28
Speaker 3: And even better, Substack. She's got podcasts and videos and
1:32:31
Speaker 3: all sorts of stuff, interviews on Substack. It's anncoulter.substack.com. Ann Coulter,
1:32:38
Speaker 3: how are you doing? Fantastic.
1:32:41
Speaker 2: How are you, Mark Simone?
1:32:42
Speaker 3: I'm good. What do you think about the midterms, Republicans?
1:32:45
Speaker 3: They don't seem to have a message. What's the message?
1:32:50
Speaker 2: That we promise we'll end the Iran war soon? No,
1:32:53
Speaker 2: they don't really have much of a message. I mean,
1:32:55
Speaker 2: they have, and Democrats... give this to them, how scary
1:33:00
Speaker 2: Democrats are. But there are only, I don't know, there
1:33:05
Speaker 2: are only so many times you can run on how
1:33:07
Speaker 2: bad the other team are. There are some great things
1:33:09
Speaker 2: that Trump has done, but I mean, I love him
1:33:13
Speaker 2: getting rid of the DEI and the horrible things that
1:33:17
Speaker 2: are said about our country from our national museums and parks,
1:33:20
Speaker 2: that sort of thing, ending the open discrimination against white males.
1:33:27
Speaker 12: Uh.
1:33:27
Speaker 2: and i feel is doing a lot of deportation we
1:33:32
Speaker 2: could always use more uh... but uh... you know it's
1:33:37
Speaker 2: very easy for the media to make let people forget
1:33:41
Speaker 2: about that by talking about trump's obsession with putting his
1:33:45
Speaker 2: name on the kennedy center which really is not what
1:33:48
Speaker 2: we voted for it's all this other stuff and and
1:33:52
Speaker 2: his little tribute to himself It's not a disaster.
1:33:58
Speaker 12: It's not horrible.
1:33:59
Speaker 2: It's not like the Iran war. But it is kind
1:34:02
Speaker 2: of embarrassing and juvenile, and that's really not what we
1:34:05
Speaker 2: wanted Donald Trump to be the president for.
1:34:08
Speaker 3: So you're telling me that when people voted for Donald Trump,
1:34:11
Speaker 3: they said, this is the kind of guy who will
1:34:13
Speaker 3: never put his name on anything. This looks like a
1:34:15
Speaker 3: guy without an ego. His name is on everything he
1:34:21
Speaker 3: ever built.
1:34:23
Speaker 2: Yes, oh my gosh, what he's done to the Oval Office.
1:34:26
Speaker 2: I look forward to the next president coming in and
1:34:28
Speaker 2: removing the gold. It looks like Liberace's lair.
1:34:33
Speaker 3: Now wait, the gold was a great idea, but maybe
1:34:37
Speaker 3: not every inch of every wall.
1:34:40
Speaker 2: Have you seen the pictures of it?
1:34:44
Speaker 12: It is so... So awful.
1:34:47
Speaker 2: Okay, that's not a reason to vote for or against him.
1:34:48
Speaker 3: Well, no, I like the fact that he brought back
1:34:50
Speaker 3: some of those paintings. That was a great idea, but
1:34:52
Speaker 3: maybe not 200 of them in one room. Maybe 20.
1:35:00
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm quite sure I would trust your taste over Trump's.
1:35:05
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure nobody printed out a picture to give
1:35:08
Speaker 3: to their decorator saying, can we do something like this?
1:35:17
Speaker 2: Yes, that is true. But, you know, there were enough
1:35:21
Speaker 2: good things about Trump that all of that was brushed aside.
1:35:26
Speaker 2: But now that he is president, I really wish he
1:35:28
Speaker 2: would concentrate on presidential duties and the things we really,
1:35:32
Speaker 2: really need him for that no other Republican president has done,
1:35:36
Speaker 2: like enforcing immigration law, like enforcing criminal laws, like enforcing
1:35:42
Speaker 2: civil rights laws, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race.
1:35:46
Speaker 2: We could really use that. And it's getting to be
1:35:51
Speaker 2: kind of cliche, oh, we can chew gum and walk
1:35:54
Speaker 2: at the same time. No, you really can't. There's only
1:35:56
Speaker 2: a certain number of hours in the day. And even
1:36:00
Speaker 2: if he were doing all the great stuff and then
1:36:03
Speaker 2: only spending, oh, 30 minutes on the ballroom or the
1:36:08
Speaker 2: name on Kennedy Center or his picture on the passport,
1:36:12
Speaker 2: the media is going to spend 90% of the time,
1:36:14
Speaker 2: probably 99% of the time, talking about the frivolous things
1:36:17
Speaker 2: he's wasting his time on.
1:36:19
Speaker 3: Well, but every president has a hobby. Eisenhower would play golf.
1:36:22
Speaker 3: Johnson would go swimming. Clinton, we know what that hobby was.
1:36:26
Speaker 3: But with Trump, it's building. It's construction. That's his hobby
1:36:32
Speaker 3: while he's in office.
1:36:34
Speaker 2: Well, maybe after the midterms, he should resign so he
1:36:37
Speaker 2: can spend more time doing the building and let Let
1:36:40
Speaker 2: us have J.D. Vance for 10 years.
1:36:43
Speaker 3: Hey, well, I wouldn't count on that. Hey, after 9-11,
1:36:49
Speaker 3: you know, Friday, we're watching all the 9-11 reliving and
1:36:52
Speaker 3: all of that. After that, it's hard to believe they
1:36:56
Speaker 3: left the border open for 20 years after we went
1:36:58
Speaker 3: through 9-11. They just left the border wide open. Were
1:37:02
Speaker 3: we insane? Republicans and Democrats left it open.
1:37:06
Speaker 2: Yes and not only that president bush that one pedal
1:37:09
Speaker 2: to the metal to bring in or more muslim immigrants
1:37:12
Speaker 2: to show uh... how much we love them so maybe
1:37:15
Speaker 2: they won't attack us again uh... i mean by the
1:37:18
Speaker 2: time george bush left office the muslim population in america
1:37:23
Speaker 2: had had doubled i'm not taking that that they should
1:37:27
Speaker 2: be persecuted but why would you do that we don't
1:37:31
Speaker 2: really need anymore people uh... And I might add that
1:37:35
Speaker 2: the Muslim immigrants we got back in the 90s were
1:37:42
Speaker 2: probably exclusively well-educated. They were doctors and engineers. And no,
1:37:51
Speaker 2: recently it's been more the third world of all sorts
1:37:55
Speaker 2: of religions and ethnicities. Just, you know, as long as
1:38:00
Speaker 2: your ancestors didn't invent the wheel, welcome, welcome.
1:38:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not just us. You were in Europe
1:38:05
Speaker 3: this summer. Europeans are a minority now in Europe, aren't they?
1:38:12
Speaker 2: I'm glad you asked. No, we are so much further
1:38:15
Speaker 2: gone than they are. No, even in England, which is
1:38:19
Speaker 2: one of the worst, it's still about 85% white British.
1:38:24
Speaker 2: Same thing with the rest of Europe. I mean, it
1:38:28
Speaker 2: used to be 98%, white European in Western Europe. So, yeah,
1:38:36
Speaker 2: they brought in a lot, but we're 56% white American.
1:38:42
Speaker 2: I mean, you see these little areas where third world
1:38:46
Speaker 2: immigrants will They form ghettos, and they all live in
1:38:50
Speaker 2: the same towns together. So, yeah, they'll take over town squares,
1:38:53
Speaker 2: and it's heartbreaking to see these beautiful British towns with angry,
1:38:58
Speaker 2: chanting Muslims in them. But it's a tiny percentage of
1:39:01
Speaker 2: their population, especially compared to us. Yeah.
1:39:05
Speaker 3: Hey, Ann Coulter, I was looking at your Twitter. Are
1:39:08
Speaker 3: you defending these flock cameras, these surveillance cameras everywhere?
1:39:13
Speaker 2: Ferociously, yes.
1:39:14
Speaker 4: Why?
1:39:14
Speaker 12: Why?
1:39:17
Speaker 2: Well, because I think people are being hysterical about this.
1:39:22
Speaker 2: We're already on camera every place. Walk into a Walmart,
1:39:27
Speaker 2: look at all these crimes that have been caught. You know,
1:39:29
Speaker 2: Brian Kohlberger, the guy who killed all those Iowa students,
1:39:34
Speaker 2: he was caught 100% because his car got caught on, luckily, neighbors' cameras.
1:39:41
Speaker 2: Same thing with the shooter of Charlie Kirk. Same thing
1:39:44
Speaker 2: with all sorts of crimes. They're catching kidnappers. And one
1:39:50
Speaker 2: not as important in the criminal area, but, you know,
1:39:53
Speaker 2: these poor dementia patients wander off, get in a car,
1:39:56
Speaker 2: drive someplace. The family's going crazy. They found dementia patients
1:40:00
Speaker 2: that way. And we're already on camera. You're on cameras
1:40:06
Speaker 2: all over the place. Unfortunately, you know, you probably don't
1:40:12
Speaker 2: have to worry in New York because it will be
1:40:15
Speaker 2: the people who have to make sure the cameras are
1:40:17
Speaker 2: running are people who work for the New York City government,
1:40:19
Speaker 2: so they will never, ever be working.
1:40:22
Speaker 3: Wow.
1:40:22
Speaker 2: So you're fully safe here. You only have to worry
1:40:25
Speaker 2: about the ring cameras in New York.
1:40:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, but flock cameras, first of all, it makes it
1:40:29
Speaker 3: tougher for speeding. That's a problem. We don't want that,
1:40:34
Speaker 3: do we?
1:40:35
Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought some courts had ruled that that was
1:40:39
Speaker 2: illegal because there wasn't a person there. Anyway, no, we
1:40:44
Speaker 2: don't want it for stupid stuff, and this is always
1:40:46
Speaker 2: how liberals will try to wreck excellent technology. No, it's
1:40:50
Speaker 2: not supposed to be used to prove, you know, so
1:40:53
Speaker 2: that they can impose even greater property taxes or income
1:40:59
Speaker 2: taxes or for speeding. This is supposed to be used
1:41:01
Speaker 2: for crimes.
1:41:03
Speaker 3: So our crazy Mayor Mamdani, he's got this Vision Zero,
1:41:07
Speaker 3: he wants more bike lanes, more pedestrian malls in the
1:41:12
Speaker 3: middle of New York City. What is it with these
1:41:13
Speaker 3: Democrats and their war on the roads, on streets, on cars?
1:41:20
Speaker 2: It is very strange. It seems to be, I mean,
1:41:26
Speaker 2: their love for public transportation just seems so, and New
1:41:30
Speaker 2: York City subways wouldn't, when you don't have to worry
1:41:33
Speaker 2: about being pushed on the tracks or raped or mugged
1:41:37
Speaker 2: or robbed, they do run fast or catching leprosy from
1:41:43
Speaker 2: these disgusting subways. But they do move fast, so that's great.
1:41:47
Speaker 2: But I think they just hate the American individualism of
1:41:53
Speaker 2: being able to drive in your own car, listen to
1:41:55
Speaker 2: your own music, go in the direction you want to
1:41:59
Speaker 2: go in. No, they want us all gathered together, going
1:42:05
Speaker 2: the same way, facing the same way. You'll all pile
1:42:08
Speaker 2: into and the government will control where you go and
1:42:12
Speaker 2: how fast you go. I mean, I guess that isn't
1:42:14
Speaker 2: true with the bikes, but it's not turning out to
1:42:16
Speaker 2: be the utopia I think leftists thought it would be.
1:42:20
Speaker 2: Not with these motorized bikes. The accidents and the deaths
1:42:25
Speaker 2: from that, I mean, terrifying crossing the street.
1:42:28
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:42:29
Speaker 3: Well, they said it was to stop car accidents, but
1:42:31
Speaker 3: you're right. The bike accidents are much more than the
1:42:33
Speaker 3: car accidents. And start giving out tickets to the bikes.
1:42:36
Speaker 3: Start regulating them. Make them get licensed. You're right.
1:42:40
Speaker 2: Yes, they clearly do not do that. Bikes going absurdly fast,
1:42:46
Speaker 2: faster than cars, very difficult if you're riding your bike
1:42:49
Speaker 2: for fun, as I sometimes do in Central Park.
1:42:53
Speaker 4: You?
1:42:53
Speaker 2: I mean, it's really death defying.
1:42:55
Speaker 4: Uh-huh. Oh.
1:42:57
Speaker 2: It's death-defying, these scooters and bikes going faster than motorcycles. And, yeah,
1:43:03
Speaker 2: I suppose there's some law someplace that makes that illegal,
1:43:08
Speaker 2: but they're not enforcing the murder laws. They're certainly not
1:43:12
Speaker 2: going to enforce, apparently, the speeding laws for these motorized bikes.
1:43:19
Speaker 3: Well, we're out of time, but Ann Coulter, great stuff. Hey,
1:43:21
Speaker 3: check out her Rumble channel. Ann Coulter on Rumble, a

Speaker 2: Yes, that'll be the Rumble video, and I have a
1:43:33
Speaker 2: column going up shortly on this hysteria over artificial intelligence,
1:43:38
Speaker 2: which is a total scam, and don't fall for it.
