  Speaker 1: This is 710WOR, where the Mark Simone Show starts now. Whoa!
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: This is quite a week. This is like the final week.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is leading right into Labor Day. I mean,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: it's officially summer well into September, but this is really
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the final week of summer for a lot of people.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Labor Day, I don't know how it got here so fast,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: but it's here. We got a lot to get to.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: President Trump renaming things again. This drives the left nuts.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: They go crazy when he does this. Now, you remember,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: these Democrats, these left-wingers, they renamed everything in America. They
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: renamed every military base. They renamed towns. Remember, they renamed
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a mountain. Mount McKinley had to become something else. They
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: renamed 500 things without blinking a He renames one thing.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: They're up in arms. They can't believe it. Who the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: hell is he to rename anything? But Lake Ontario's Lake America.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You know who plays along with this? It's Google. Yeah,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: if you look at Google Maps already, it says Lake America.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: They're getting a lot of flack for being a little
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: too busy catering to the Trump administration. But Google Maps,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: if you look on it, you'll see Lake America. Google
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Maps arguing... that they have to go by whatever the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: official government agency, uh, name is. And apparently president Trump
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: having control of that agency, uh, officially named it like America.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: So Google will go along with it. Now there's that, uh, uh,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: there's the, uh, the Canadian prime minister, but, uh, Ontario,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the province, these provinces like Ontario have premiers. So, uh,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: This is Premier Ford of Ontario. He's the Premier. Then
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you see the guy, and he looks like Ed Asner.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Most unimpressive looking guy. But he's all up in arms
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: about this Lake America.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: It was like something out of Saturday Night Live when
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: he signed a document saying change to Lake America. No
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: one's going to call it Lake of America. It's been
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Lake Ontario for hundreds of years. It's going to continue
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: being Lake Ontario. And it's just so disappointing.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Well, all right. We'll call it that for a few weeks,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: just to annoy you. Just to annoy you. As I say,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Google Maps, it says Lake America. But apparently they can
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: do this. If you're in Canada, it'll still say Lake Ontario.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: But whenever Trump does anything that's a Democratic thing, Democrats
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: rename everything. Everything constantly. Bases. They tear down statues. They
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: rename cities. They rename neighborhoods. But as soon as he
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: does anything Democratic, they go nuts. So it was interesting.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: He visited NASA on Friday, and he's very interested in
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the moon, which he'll probably rename. It'll be probably Moon
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: America or something, but he's really interested in going back there.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And he's right. We shouldn't have abandoned the space program
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: when we did. We just gave up on it. It
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: was a big part of the Kennedy administration. In 1960, 61,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: he took office, and he said, By the end of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the decade, we'll land a man on the moon. It
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: sounded insane at the time. It sounded like something so
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: far in the future. But he did it by the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: end of the decade, 1969. So the president, before he
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: leaves office, which is two years before he leaves office,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: he wants to land a man on the moon. And
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: he thinks it's very important. Big speech at NASA on Friday.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: From the very beginning, America has always been a frontier
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: nation and Space is the highest of all the frontiers.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Our manifest destiny is to explore and settle this great unknown,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: carry forward the light of American liberty into the stars.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So, it's a great goal. You know, it was very
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: important that we landed a man on the moon in 1969,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and it led to important things if we landed a
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: man on the moon. I don't know exactly what. It
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: looked good. The pictures were fascinating. And then we sent
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: more men to the moon and well, they walked around,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: they collected some rocks. Remember that one astronaut hit a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: golf ball on the moon. The outside of that, I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: don't know what the, I mean, they keep telling us that, well,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we're going to colonize it. We're going to have data
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: centers there. We're going to, I don't know how you're
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: going to do any of that, but it's a great goal.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Before the end of my term, American astronauts will return
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: to the lunar surface at We're looking forward to that.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: We'll do it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: And we're then going to the next step. And when
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: we do, they'll plant this very important flag to mark
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: the site of the first permanent American settlement.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: On the moon.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: They're going to have a settlement. They're building a settlement.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Up in the moon. Yeah.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: All right. I don't know who want to live there.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: You know, some people move to Rockland County and say, well,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that's a little too far to commute. But can you
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: imagine from the moon? I mean, what does that mean?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: We're going to live on the moon. What does that mean?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: They'll have a Starbucks. They'll have a Costco. There'll be
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a Chipotle. I mean, that's really all it means. So, hey,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: this is fascinating. Now, you know, Jimmy Fallon is still
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: on the air. That's the Tonight Show. I mean, that's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the original late night show. It's hard to cancel that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: But Jimmy Kimmel is very close to being canceled. Remember,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: his contract ended and they wouldn't give him a new contract.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: They just put him on a one-year extension, which he's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: on now. One-year extension, and he's taken the summer off.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: That's kind of the Howard Stern model, and it led
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to pretty much the end of Howard Stern, which we'll
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: get to coming up. But Colbert, fired, thrown off the air,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: low ratings. And who would they replace him with? Well,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: they decided to do something a little different. They turned
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the time, the one hour on CBS at 11.30 a.m.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: over to byron allen he actually buys the time from
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: cbs and he does a late night show but it's
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: nothing like kimmel or colbert or found there's no political
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: jokes there's no angry politics it's just old-fashioned comedy it's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: called comics unleashed and they have four comedians on every
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: show and byron allen interviews them but it's all it's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: all pre-arranged they know uh you know what jokes the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: guy has so every question is to lead into part
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of his routine but it's very funny Comics Unleashed, good
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: comedy show. Now, here's the interesting part. It is now
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: beating Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. It is now
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: beating Jimmy Kimmel Live in the most important demo of all.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: That's 18 to 49. That's the key demo for TV shows.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed now beating Fallon, beating Kimmel. It's actually,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: is it a two-hour show? Yeah, he's also on against
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Late Night with Seth Meyers, and he's beating Late Night
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: with Seth Meyers. So this is interesting. This is old-fashioned comedy.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: This was the idea of Late Night TV. You'd have
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a few laughs, something entertaining, enjoyable laughs before you go
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to sleep. The idea was not get all riled up
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and screaming about Trump and hate Trump and get all
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: mad and angry with Colbert. Uh, so Byron Allen, I
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: remember when first, first week, he only had 600,000. Well,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: he's now beating in the key demo, which is the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: most important. He's beating Fallon. He's beating Kimmel. So that's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: big news. You're seeing a turning point there. So, uh,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: as they're getting ready to dump Kimmel, ABC might be
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: looking at something like that. Let's just go to old
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: fashioned comedy. So, um, um, President Trump also ran. There
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: was action over the weekend. We bombed Larrick Island, famous
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Larrick Island, which is important strategically for Iran. So we
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: took that out. And the president putting up an AI
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: video of the blowing up of Karg Island, a little
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: threat that we might just get rid of Karg Island,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: which is their whole economy, And if that goes, that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: means Iran not only has no economy, but could not
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: possibly have one for another 10 years. That's how long
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: it would take to rebuild all of that. Karg Island
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: is their entire oil storage, oil facility, their oil depots.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: When it comes to transporting oil and all that, it
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: comes from Karg Island. So without Karg Island, there is
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: no more oil industry in Iraq, Iran. Now, the Strait
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of Hormuz has been open. It's definitely been open. We've had...
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Something like 1,500 tankers come through there with many, many, many, many,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: many millions of gallons of oil. So that's one reason
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the price of oil has not spiked. It's gone up
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a little, but there's no spike. Remember under Biden when
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: it was $ 110 a barrel? Right now, let me check.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: It's gone up a hair. See, that's what I mean.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: It just goes up just slightly. Right now, it is
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: $ 85 a barrel. Just up a little from what's normal. Hey,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: you got Crazy Mom Donnie. We'll get to him coming up.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul running against him, trying anything and everything. Do
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: you know that it was actually illegal to dance in
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: a restaurant in New York State? There was a law
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: against it. You're not allowed to dance in a restaurant.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: It's an old law from the 20s or something. That
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: was a million years ago. So she's so desperate for
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: trying to score points in any possible way. She's repealed
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that law. You can now dance in a New York
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: City restaurant. All right. So she gets Kevin Bacon. Somehow,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon gets suckered into this, doing a commercial with her. Now,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: this is the problem with Kathy Hochul. She's sometimes not
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: very self-aware, doesn't realize how goofy she looks, doesn't realize
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: how dopey she is. doesn't realize how lame this commercial sounds.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: This is her and Kevin Bacon. Consultants convince them that
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: this is cute. This is wonderful. You see the consultants
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: make money on the commercial. If you need to make
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a commercial, they get a part of the production cost.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: And then you got to air it, which means you
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: got to buy time. They get a piece of the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: time by. So consultants make a fortune. Campaign consultants make
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: all their money off commercials. So they'll convince you this
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: is a good idea. And when it's done, they'll say, wow,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: it's powerful. It's great. Take a listen to it. New York,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: did you know that for years, dancing was banned in
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: many bars and nightclubs?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Banned?
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: You mean it was illegal to dance? That's right, Kevin Bacon.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: If I was to come into this club and wanted
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: to say salsa?
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Nada. Macarena? Maca no-no. Whip?
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Nay-nay.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: The state used to demand you get a license to
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: allow dancing, but we tossed that rule out. What do
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you say to that, Kevin? I say... Let's dance. Oh, God. Yeah,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: keep running that. Bruce Blakeman will pay for you to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: run that. He'll pay for the cost of running that ad.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: That is embarrassing. That is one awful ad. Hey, now,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: this is interesting. You know, the fake news just lies.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: On NBC, CBS, ABC. I mean, yeah, they slant the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: news to be anti-Trump. If there's anything anti-Trump, they report it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: If there's anything pro-Trump, they don't report it. If there's anything,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: if the Democrats do something horrible, they never report it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: They never mention it. So you got the slant, but
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: they actually also out and out lie. They just make
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: up lies all the time. You remember Trump put kids
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: in cages? It's a total lie, complete lie. Well, I
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: saw the pictures of the kids in cages. They were
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: all from the Obama administration. He's the one that put
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the kids in cages. They just lie about it. So
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: He's decided, President Trump, he's not wrong about this. This
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: might be a good idea. What do you do about it? Well,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: all these TV networks own TV stations and they need
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: licenses to do that. And they're FCC licenses. And it
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: is a violation of FCC rules to go on the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: air and just out and out lie. You're not supposed
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to do that. So Kristen Welker, NBC, Meet the Press,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: always broadcasting false information. is talking about the primaries and
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: how Trump endorsing candidates. Well, she said he had a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: mixed record. Well, that's not true at all. He had
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: an incredibly successful record. Trump made 313 endorsements, had a 96%
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: success rate in GOP primaries, 100% success rate in GOP
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Senate primaries, 98% success rate in the House primaries. He
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: had a hugely successful endorsement. So she's just lying when
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: she said it was mixed results, mixed results. Yeah, 98-2.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: That's not that mixed. So President Trump has called for
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the FCC to take action against her, which they can.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: They can go after NBC if you deliberately broadcast false information.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: And what do you do about this fake news, the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: press totally conning people left and right? It's a dangerous
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: thing if it were on either side, trying to run
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: a democracy when you've got fake news, total fake news.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: So about the only thing you can do about it
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: is just go after them for lies. Just get the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: law to come in and enforce this and try to
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: stop them. Now, she's yelling and screaming, of course, but
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: she did lie. She was caught lying. Hey, I'll give
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: you another example. President Trump is not going to speak
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: at the 9-11 ceremony. He's not coming to New York.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: He'll speak on 9-11 at the Pentagon. He'll be there
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: for that ceremony, but he's not coming to New York.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: And you may have read, you may have heard, the
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: reason he's not coming is they wouldn't allow him to speak.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: That's the reason, because they're not going to allow him
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: to speak. Well, that's fake news, total fake news. You
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: can credit Maggie Haberman and the New York Times for
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: a totally fake, ridiculous, completely made-up story. That's not true.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: That's not the reason. And President Trump pointing that out,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: calling her a stalker. She really is horrible, just makes
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: up stuff all the time. Now, the fact is, nobody
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: speaks at the September 11th ceremony at Ground Zero. No
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: politicians speak. Now, the first couple of years, there were
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: some politicians that spoke, but in 2012, it was decided
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that never again would they have politicians or anybody speak.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: They would only allow the family to speak. The families,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: they didn't want to distract from them. So it was
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: all about the families. So for the last 14 years,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: there had never been any speakers ever at Ground Zero
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: and 9-11. And Trump has been to many of those
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: 9-11 ceremonies. And he said, I've been there over the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: years many times. No one ever speaks. There's no such
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: thing as making a speech there. So Haberman just made
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: that up, just completely made it up. It's totally false.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Trump posting, she's a stalker. She should be forced to
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: turn over any and all money that she's made through
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: her reporting on me. That's actually a pretty good idea.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: She just made up this whole fake story. And again,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: it's tough to run a democracy when you get all
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: this fake information being broadcast. So we got a lot
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to get to. We'll get to Crazy Mom Donnie and
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: his schemes falling apart and a whole lot more. Mark
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Simone here, 9 to noon. It's three hours now, 9 a.m.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: to noon every weekday here on 710WOR.
