Mark's Weekend Bonus Segment — NOT HEARD ON THE RADIO! · The Mark Simone Show

  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Mark Simone here. Welcome to the bonus segment
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: for you podcast listeners. We've got a lot to get
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to today. So Facebook they call it Meta. Now that's
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the name of the company Meta. I think they should
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: change it back to Facebook. Remember there was going to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: be a metaverse. No nobody remembers that a couple of
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: years ago. The metaverse was going to take over everything.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: We'd be living in the metaverse, so they changed the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: name to Meta. There was no such thing as the metaverse.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: It was quite a hoax. Change the name back to Facebook.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: But what are they working on next? Well, obviously AI,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that's been the big focus for a couple of years.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: But now Meta is going to bring back the smart glass.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: You remember the smart glasses. Remember Google had smart glasses
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and you'd wear them and they could as you're walking
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: along the street, they could do photographs, they could do everything.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: You could see whatever you wanted in your glasses. The
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: problem was there were these big, clunky, ugly get glasses
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: that made you look like a bad Clark Kent or something,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and they totally bombed. It was a major, like a
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: ten billion dollar failure for Google. But for some reason,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Meta thinks this will work now. Apparently they brought in
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: some eyeglass companies like ray Bann and others to help
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: them design the glasses and make them look good. They'll
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: do all kinds of things. You'll be able to, you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you'll have the glasses will wrap around your ear, so
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: they'll be close to your ear, so there'll be something
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in there that you can hear the sound in your ear.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: You can play music, you can do all kinds of things.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: You can talk on the phone. But one thing they're
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: now adding is facial recognition, which is creeping out a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: lot of people. They don't want this. They think it's
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a terrible invasion of privacy. Now, let's say you walking
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: down the street, you see a beautiful woman and you
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: just hit the facial recognition. It'll look at her face
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and then what it does. You can do this now
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you can search the internet if you have facial recognition,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: if her face is anywhere on the internet, you'll find
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: out who's is. Now, some beautiful woman walking down the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: street probably got an Instagram page or TikTok sort of
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: recognize it from that or Facebook. And a lot of
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: people not demanding that he removed this feature. I don't know.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I find that feature kind of useful. Yeah, I mean,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind using that. So at some point it's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: going to be everywhere, this facial recognition. Now, there's a
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: lot of controversy over the AI data centers. You know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: all these companies, Meta, Google, all the big AI companies
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: are building these data centers. They are massive. They're the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: size of like five football fields cut together. And if
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it's one thing, if they open them, you know, in
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere, they've got enormous parking lots for
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: like two thousand cars. And the first controversy was they
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: use up all the town, if it's a little town,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: they'll use up all the town's electricity. They're kind of
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: solving that problem. It'll take a little longer, but they're
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: going to have tiny nuclear reactors that will supply their
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: own power at some point. Now, the other thing was
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: they'll drain all the water. They'll use too much water
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the city's water supply. Well, they're solving that problem. They're
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: all going to have recycled water and they're gonna have
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: something in there that just uses a small amount of
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: water and keeps recycling it. Now, the other thing is
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the noise. They make a lot of noise. They can
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: be very noisy. Now I don't know about that problem,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and they go all night long. So nobody's gonna want
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that in their neighborhood. But they'll solve that. They'll figure
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: out how to make it quieter. Through the years, they'll
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: get easier and easier to have around. But there's all
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: kinds of protests whenever they try to open one. By
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the way, they're spending a fortune on this. I mean
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: each one is billions and billions of dollars to build
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: these things. So there's a lot of groups protesting. But
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: there's now new evidence. First it was the Chinese targeting them,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and now it's all these lefty nonprofit groups. The one
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, for instance, they trace some of the money
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: back to the Hines family, the Hines Foundation, which can
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: be very left wing. That's John Kerrey and the wife.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: There's a new data center project there. Actually, Pennsylvania currently
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: has eighty seven data centers. New York has thirty four
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: in the works. Now the governor's trying to ban those,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: but she probably will be gone by January. You'll have
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman as governor, which means they'll come back. So
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of this resistance is coming. There is some
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: from these Chinese characters. This nevill Roy singham On behalf
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: of Chinese got tons of money. Why would the China
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: or these guys want to stop our data centers because
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the big race is data centers AI. Whoever dominates AI
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: is going to dominate everything. So China does not want
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: us to get ahead. And again Meta is involved in this.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg and keep trying to explain to everybody this
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: AI is the most important thing for the future. It's
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: very expensive, by the way to build these things, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it's very expensive for AI. You know, we just go
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: on and use it online. But if you're a company,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you got to pay all kinds of money for all
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: kinds of AI access software, all that. It's a lot
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: of money. It's a big, big expense for corporations. That's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: why some of them may actually for a while use
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a little less AI. They may go back to actual
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: workers and at some point they'll get the cost down
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and then they'll come back. But SpaceX, which is a
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: huge stock, all of a sudden took a big drop
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: when they put out their numbers. The AI costs were
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: through the roof. So, now have you ever see one
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of those Frank Lloyd Wright houses. You know, Frank Lloyd
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Wright was the great architect. They were futuristic modern. There's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a couple in Connecticut there all over these Frank Lloyd
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Wright houses, and some people dream of owning one of those. Well,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: if you talk to the people that actually own them,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: apparently they're a nightmare to take care of. Because Frank
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Lloyd Wright would design these houses to be so amazing looking, different,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: unusual looking, but apparently he didn't stop to think about
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: how they would actually work. Now, you know, most of
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: them have a flat roof, so people that own him
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: saying the maintenance on him is unbelievable. And like a
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: flat roof, the problem is when you have a flat roof,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it leaks all over the place. It just leaks like crazy.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: He also had this thing about oversized fireplaces, really big fireplaces. Well,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: owners of the house say, it looks amazing, but it
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: causes too much smoke. It totally ruins your house with
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: all that smoke. So in all these houses, between the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: roof and this and that's frequent, painstaking maintenance. There's actually
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: four hundred of these Frank Lloyd Wright houses still standing
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: all over America. Hey, Milania and Baron Trump being targeted
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: by Iran. You know, the word is that Iran's been
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: trying to assassinate President Trump. But video has been discovered
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a ran disturbing videos encouraging the assassination of Milania and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Baron Trump. One is even called how to Kill Malania Trump,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: shows images of her motorcade, the locations in New York
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: where she might be, even naming some of the stores
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: where she likes to shop. Now she's been very cautious
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and not coming out much. At the end of the video,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Baron Trump is now twenty also threatened, and it even
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: says at the end, this is just the beginning. Baron Trump,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: wait for us. This is just horrible stuff. Now, all
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the Trump residents is the White House, Trump Tower, Bedminster, Marlago,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: very very very heavy security. President this weekend is in
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. Went to Bedminster for the weekend. Now, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: all over the place she got these spas. These and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of spas where they give you
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a facial and you know, they put some cream on
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: your But then they become like more medical spas, all
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: kinds of med treatments, they have injections, they have ivs,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: they give you, they got all kinds of medical stuff. Well,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of people now warning be careful of these places.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: There's absolutely no regulation on them, no controls. The number
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: of so called medical spas has increased six hundred percent
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: in the last few years. It's now a forty seven
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: billion dollar industry. But experts are pointing out there almost
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: no oversight of these businesses and there's a lot of
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: people suffering a lot of problems. You remember, you know,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you walk in, there's a nice looking woman giving you
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: this medical treatment, but often with absolute no training at all.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Here's one woman who died in one of those places,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: injected with the wrong stuff, and they didn't know enough
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: about her her medical situation before they injected her. Even
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: if you're going just for botox or stuff, some of
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: these centers it's not that regulating. You can get watered
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: down botox. You're going to get somebody with no training,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: somebody injecting it wrong. That's why if you're get in botox,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you want to go don't do it at the at
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the hairdresser. You want to get the get like a
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: real plastic surgeon. Somebody who knows exactly where to put it,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: somebody knows exactly exactly how to use needles and all that.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: You know. I'm a big blue Bloods fan. This Boston bleu.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: It's not the same, not even close. It's like a
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: real cheap discount version of blue Bloods. But blue Bloods
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: was the number one drama and primetime television was on
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: for fourteen years, still going strong though. Ratings were huge,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and they just canceled it. And one of the reasons
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: is primetime viewership on the networks is so down. It's
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: way way down. Primetime show used to get forty million
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: people watching it. Then over the years it's twenty million,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: but by the end it was two or three million,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: two or three million watching blue Bloods. That's it Now.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: When the numbers come down, the app advertising revenue comes
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: way down. You're not bringing in as much money, so
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you can't spend as much money anymore on blue Bloods.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: And Blue Bloods had a cast of all stars that
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: were like, you know, ten fifteen major characters. You had
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to pay all their salaries. There were car chases all
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: over the place. You had like twelve vehicle car chase.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: You had shootouts in the street, very expensive to film those.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You've walked by a movie set, you see how many people,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that involves, how many trailers, how much equipment, cost of fortune,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: So they couldn't afford to do it anything. That's really
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the reason. Now Tom Selleck is getting a little nasty
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: about it. There's you know, he's spoken about it a little,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: but in recent interviews talking more and more about it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: First of all, he said the cast because of that,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: took a twenty five percent pay cut. They all cut
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: their salaries voluntarily twenty five percent, and they still canceled it.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Selka was on the Ted Dancing podcast. Everybody has a
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: podcast right now, that Ted Danson podcast. But that's pretty interesting.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Listen to Selk. He was really a little bitter about
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the cancelation. In fact, so bitter. I think that's the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: reason he won't do Boston Blue. He won't show up
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: in it. It's Boston Blue. By the way, it has
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: been renewed. Now. You notice they got the costs way
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: down on Boston Blue. It's like three sets, and there's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: no big car chases. If they're after the criminal, it's
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: like a foot chase around a building. They just got
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: in the sidewalk and run around the building for five minutes.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And that's it. Now, who's voting for Mom, Donnie and
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Elciad and all these crazy people. Well, they would like
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to convince you it's the poor, it's the working class.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: But the great polsters, even the Democratic polsters, like Nate
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Silver said, the last voters, they're not getting any votes
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: from working people, the poor. None of those people are voting.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: They're source of their votes. According to these surveys, democratic posters,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: highly educated, downwardly mobile voters. These are these kids that
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: came out of Harvard and Columbia and all the left
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: wing and doctrinnation centers. They're mostly spoiled brats. They got
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: a thousand degrees and things you never heard of, ridiculous,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: useless degrees. They're now living in their parents' basement. That's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: according to left wing polsters. And as a result, they're
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: voting against the system, against establishment, against anything a traditional American.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: They don't actually think socialism will work. I mean, it's
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: just rebellion. Even Nate Silver said, that's what the Democratic
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: socialists have tapped into. It's a generation. He calls it
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: a generational temper tantrum. It's a bunch of pampered, spoiled,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: rich kids who just came out of an ivy league
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: in doctrination centers. It's a temper tantrum. That's why they're
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: voting for these lunatics. And he thinks the trend will
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: continue because those universities continue to turn out all this stuff.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: So I don't know how you fix that, but hey,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: this has been the bonus segment of the podcast. Now,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I don't forget. If you're listening to the show live,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: it's three hours every day, nine to noon on War
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And if you're a podcast listener, that means an extra
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: hour of podcast every day and the bonus segment every weekend. Hey,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: thanks for listening. Have a great weekend. Marks simone here,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I'll talk to you next week.
