  Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Mark Simone Show, live from the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: WOR LifeVac studios. Hey, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the number. 800-321-0710. Let's go to Chris in West Hampton. Chris,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: I'm okay, thanks.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Have a good weekend?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I really want to know.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, good.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Okay. And what's going on in West Hampton? You ever
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: go to that new Donahue's that just opened?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: No, I don't go there. There's two good restaurants that
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I like. There's Baby Moon and Tres Diamante, which is
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: a Spanish restaurant.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Well, Donahue's, though, is a legendary restaurant, 64th and Lexington.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: They closed and they moved to West Hampton. It's called
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Donahue's East. Go try that.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Well, okay.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I never ate in it when it was in Manhattan,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: but anyway. Two things I want to ask you about.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I know you have a great.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: This guy's always in panic. Yes, I'm not happy. I'm panicking, yes.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: He's always in panic.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I'm panicking about Ilhan Omar.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: About what?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Ilhan Omar. You remember a couple... In July, I called
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: and I asked you why nothing was being done about her,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: if she did marry her brother, if she was involved
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: in the Medicare fraud, and you told me not to
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: worry about it, that they're looking into it.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: And I said, well, they're waiting for November because we're
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: going to get smoked in November. Why is nobody doing
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: this Tim Walz stuff and all the fraud?
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: They are.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: But who's the day?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: The government, Justice Department. People are getting busted day and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: night in the Medicaid fraud.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, if Ilhan married her brother, is that immigration fraud?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Calm down. You know where you are right now? You're
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: in West Hampton. I don't know if you know this.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: They have a beach there.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to the beach later on. I went
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: yesterday and I went today.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I want you to go to the beach and I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: want you to put on some music and I want
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you to relax. I don't want you to sit there
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and go into panic about Elon, Omar. They'll get to it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: But it's not.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: But we're going to get killed. Everything Trump is doing
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: is going to get reversed. Never mind they're going to
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: tear down the ballroom.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, there's proof right there that he's going to win big.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Anytime you say he's going.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: To lose, he always wins big.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I hope you're right, but I'm not wrong.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: You're always wrong every time. It never fails.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Food is so expensive.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: No, it's not.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Gas is expensive. No, it's not. Yes, it is. No,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: it's not.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Gas is cheaper now than it was in the George W.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Bush administration, literally.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's wait, okay? Because oil is up again for
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: another $ 2 or something.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I was just looking.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I look at something different.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: The crude oil is not over.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Let's check the record. We don't want to do this
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to you, but we could record you every election. You're
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: always 100% wrong every time.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: From your mouth to God's ears.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: You are the most reliable reverse barometer. You remember last
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: time around you told me we were going to lose
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the whole thing.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: With the abortion, yes. I still can't believe it. I
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: said that last time. I can't believe that that was
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: not a bigger issue. Well, it's true.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Everybody in New York was bringing their daughters.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: You've got to calm down. This is some kind of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: mental thing with you. You can look at actual data
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and metrics. You don't have to just guess. At the time,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: abortion was not coming up as an issue with any voters.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: It was like number 17 on the list of issues
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: in every survey, every poll, every study. Now, not only that,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: abortion has nothing to do with the president. He has
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: no say whatsoever about abortion anywhere.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Right, but it had to do with the Republicans. And
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: just like Trump is saying, vote like I'm on the
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: ballot right now.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: The Republicans have nothing to do with abortion. It's a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: local issue now. The Congress has nothing to do with
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: abortion anymore. It's a local issue now.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: All right. Well, anyway, thank you.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: You're my favorite show, no matter what. Not that there's
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: ever been anything wrong, but, you know.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks for calling.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: All right. Take care.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Thanks. He's a nice guy, but you can listen to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: any show anywhere on any station. He's calling up, and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: at the end, you're my favorite show. Nice guy, though.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Blauvelt in Florida. Blauvelt, how are you doing?
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, man, he's a good caller, that guy, Chris.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: He's a good caller, but you hear him on every station,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: every show. You can put on WBZ in Boston. There
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: he is calling Dan Ray. Every show.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: I haven't called in a while. I hope you haven't
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: missed me that much.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: We did.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Hey, listen, what is the real story behind Maria?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Well, the real story is she's always had a rocky
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: relationship with management. She's a very nice person in real life,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: but at work she's always, I don't know, she's always
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: in a clash with management. Ratings weren't so good. I mean,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: they were okay, but not big. I mean, Varney gets
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: much bigger ratings. Kudlow gets enormous ratings.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: I watched her every morning. I prefer that over Fox
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: and Friends.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: It's a different type of show. Fox and Friends is
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: more for the general public. This was more for, you know,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the investor class, but... It's a small audience she had,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: but a very good audience. She was always pushing the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: envelope with questionable stories, the China AI centers. There was
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a Kevin O'Leary segment that Fox had to issue multiple
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: apologies for.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: You mentioned O'Leary. I heard him on an interview and
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: he's talking about he's trying to open up a data
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: center out in Ohio. And he says these things don't
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: use any water more than water than a golf course.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Well, that's true.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: There's Yeah.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, one by one, they're solving all the problems.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: The water, they figured out how to recycle it. They
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: don't use that much water. Good, good, good. Energy, they're
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: figuring out how to power themselves.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Could you do me a favor? Could you ask Vincent,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: what are the names of the little pepper biscuits at
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Adio's Bakery in Arthur Avenue in the Bronx? I can't
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: remember the name of those things. The little pepper biscuits
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: at Adio's Bakery.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to... sound like a genius. I mean,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: this is the most brilliant thing in the world I've
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: come up with. You ever think of calling the Adios
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Bakery and saying, what are the names of those biscuits?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: If you know the name of the bakery, look up
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the number and call them.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: I'd rather hear it from Vincent.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, if you know the bakery, go to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: their website, go to their Instagram. I'm sure it's right
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: on their menu there. Anyway, let's go to Rich in
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you doing?
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Hey, thanks, Mark. You know, you're right. The Costco hot
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: dog is the best hot dog in the world. It's
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: even better than the Nathan's. I'm not thrilled with the
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: bun because they're steamed. No, but it's a beautiful bun.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: It's got great flavor in it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's got a nice flavor, but I like them toasted,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: you know, but they don't do that. But the pizza
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't eat, but the sundae is my next thing
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: on the agenda. You know, we're down here in Myrtle
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Beach in the land of golf courses. You see Sprinkles
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: does have gallons of water every minute all over the
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: streets and all over the golf courses down here, so
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I'm not worried about the data centers. But, you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: we're down here in Myrtle Beach. Gas is supposed to
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: be $ 2. 50 down here. It's $ 3. 60 to $ 3. 69 to $ 3. 72.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: It changes sometimes three or four times a day. If
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Trump doesn't get this gas price under control by the
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: end of September, he's going to blow the midterms for it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Not necessarily. Gas prices were much, much, much higher during
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: And, uh, but that's apples and oranges because Biden was
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: a dope. Trump promised us cheaper gas has started to
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: come down. He got involved with Iran, which I fully support,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: but either wrap this thing up in Iran or get
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: out of it, but just bomb the hell out of
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: them and get rid of everybody. They all want to
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: die anyway. Yeah. To make an omelet, you got to
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: kill a few citizens, but they all got to go.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I understand. But you got to remember, uh, we've been
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: through this before with the straight, the straight home roots
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: always closes in every war. Uh, A good example was
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the Iraq War. They closed the Strait of Hormuz. Gas
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: had been $ 60 a barrel. And when the Strait of
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Hormuz closed, panic set in. It went to $ 100 a barrel,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: $ 110 a barrel. But once the whole thing got settled,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: it not only went back to $ 60, it plunged to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: $ 40 a barrel. You had the cheapest gas ever. So
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: once they wrap up the Iran thing, which could happen
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: at any point, it'll not only go back down, it'll plunge.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: It always does that after. Every time it increases like this. Hey,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: when we come back, Bill O'Reilly. We'll talk to Bill
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: O'Reilly next on 710WOR.
