0:00
Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan.
0:03
Speaker 2: Here comes the Mark Simone Show on seven ten wr.
0:10
Speaker 1: Well, hey, we'll get to Iran, we'll get to Georgia,
0:14
Speaker 1: we'll get to President Trump. Of course, we'll get to
0:16
Speaker 1: Crazy Mom, Donnie Legioneers, and a whole lot more coming up. Now.
0:21
Speaker 1: It's been well, a weird summer. I mean, here we
0:27
Speaker 1: were waiting for summer. It's been a nice we love summer,
0:30
Speaker 1: but heat waves, tornadoes, floods, it's been kind of strange.
0:35
Speaker 1: But right now, today through Sunday, you're going to have
0:39
Speaker 1: absolutely perfect summer. Four days of perfect weather, eighty degrees
0:45
Speaker 1: and sunny. It's already underway. So enjoy this part of summer.
0:49
Speaker 3: Now.
0:49
Speaker 1: I hate to bring this up again. Yesterday I told
0:52
Speaker 1: you I was in a couple of stores. There's all
0:55
Speaker 1: the fall clothing of I find out today the Giants
1:00
Speaker 1: go to training camp football. The Giants heading the training
1:05
Speaker 1: camp today. So enjoy the summer while you can. Now,
1:10
Speaker 1: last night was night twelve of hitting Iran, very very
1:15
Speaker 1: very hard. Price of oil is spiking again. Let me
1:20
Speaker 1: just check. It was up to about one hundred dollars
1:22
Speaker 1: a barrel, which is you're getting into Joe Biden territory there. Oh,
1:28
Speaker 1: it backed off a little. Okay, it's dropping, it's down
1:30
Speaker 1: to ninety one, but that's still up from what it
1:33
Speaker 1: was yesterday. And the reason it's spiking up is the Iranians,
1:37
Speaker 1: the hoodies, whoever they're paying, is now hitting ships in
1:41
Speaker 1: the Red Sea Straight of hor Moose first, now the
1:45
Speaker 1: Red Sea. So that's driven the price of oiler. But
1:47
Speaker 1: this will all be gotten under control, and the President
1:49
Speaker 1: letting Iran know every time they fire at a ship
1:53
Speaker 1: in the straight of horm Moose will take out infrastructure,
1:55
Speaker 1: We'll take out a bridge, we'll take out a power plant,
1:58
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. And again night twelve of very
2:02
Speaker 1: heavy bombing. They've got about a seven week plan laid
2:05
Speaker 1: out of what they want to hit. There's a lot
2:07
Speaker 1: of stuff to get. The main goal of all of
2:09
Speaker 1: this was to make sure Iran doesn't have any nuclear anything,
2:15
Speaker 1: and whatever's remaining seems to be at Pickaxe Mountain, buried
2:21
Speaker 1: under there in Pickaxe Mountain, that seems to be the
2:23
Speaker 1: current place where nuclear stuff is being hidden being worked one.
2:28
Speaker 1: So the President said, we're going to hit pick Axe Mountain.
2:32
Speaker 1: It's the next big target.
2:33
Speaker 4: Do you believe that Iran has moved nuclear centrifuges into
2:37
Speaker 4: Pickaxe Mountain. And when you say we're not done yet,
2:40
Speaker 4: what is allowed to finish? Well, I think that they
2:44
Speaker 4: may have we don't have it on record. We follow
2:46
Speaker 4: the material. That's where the action is, and we'll be
2:50
Speaker 4: hitting that area very probably pretty soon, and there's not
2:54
Speaker 4: a thing they can do about it.
2:55
Speaker 2: Yeh.
2:55
Speaker 4: Normally I wouldn't say that. If I thought they could
2:58
Speaker 4: do something about it, I would never say that. But
3:01
Speaker 4: we'll be hitting that area pretty soon and very heavily.
3:06
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now when he says there's nothing going to do
3:08
Speaker 1: about it, we have taken away all their military defense.
3:11
Speaker 1: They've got no air Force, no navy. Most of their
3:14
Speaker 1: military defense is completely gone. They still got a MISSILLT
3:16
Speaker 1: or two they can fire off. But what's the delay?
3:20
Speaker 1: Why not hit Pickaxe Mountain tonight? Well, it's not as
3:25
Speaker 1: easy as it sounds.
3:26
Speaker 2: Now.
3:26
Speaker 1: The problem with this Pickaxe Mountain nuclear stuff. We got
3:30
Speaker 1: pretty good intelligence in that area, but it's three hundred
3:33
Speaker 1: and twenty eight feet underground. The nuclear activity three one
3:37
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight feet underground. That's how deep it is. Now,
3:42
Speaker 1: how do we get to that? Well, we got to
3:44
Speaker 1: use those thirty thousand pounds. Bunker buster bombs just blow
3:49
Speaker 1: holes and just just barrel through and create a big, big,
3:54
Speaker 1: deep hole. The problem is the bumper buck the the
4:00
Speaker 1: these bunker busters that we have are capable of going
4:03
Speaker 1: down two hundred feet before exploding, so that would be
4:08
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty feet too short. They can only
4:10
Speaker 1: go down two hundred feet. The stuff is about three
4:12
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty feet down there, So what do you
4:15
Speaker 1: do well, they're working on that. Some of the talk
4:19
Speaker 1: is a number of bunker busters you just hit the
4:23
Speaker 1: whole mountain, so you blow it all the way down
4:25
Speaker 1: to two hundred feet and then once you've done that,
4:28
Speaker 1: then another round of bunker busters can go another two
4:31
Speaker 1: hundred feet and that would take it out. But that's
4:32
Speaker 1: a little tricky, very very tricky. So they're working on
4:37
Speaker 1: all of that right now. Now. In the meantime, the
4:40
Speaker 1: US can take out the bas's entrances, bury the entrances
4:44
Speaker 1: and exits and make sure they can't get in or out.
4:47
Speaker 1: So that's one thing they're working on. President went to
4:51
Speaker 1: Georgia yesterday now for about this is exactly how the
4:54
Speaker 1: media works. Just go after Trump every day for any anything,
5:01
Speaker 1: if he turns left, you go after him. If he
5:03
Speaker 1: turns right, you go after me. So they were going
5:06
Speaker 1: after him for two three days about these soldiers killed
5:09
Speaker 1: in the Iranian conflict, and they're yelling and screaming. Why
5:15
Speaker 1: hasn't he called the families. Why doesn't he talk to
5:16
Speaker 1: the families. Why doesn't he meet with the families. Why
5:19
Speaker 1: doesn't he call the this was the attack. Well, he
5:22
Speaker 1: flew down to Georgia yesterday spent the day with the families,
5:26
Speaker 1: what they call the dignified transfer. Spent the day with
5:29
Speaker 1: the families, talking to the meeting with them, taking pictures
5:32
Speaker 1: with him. So the press immediately saw it all day
5:35
Speaker 1: to day on MSNBC. Why is he with these families,
5:38
Speaker 1: Why is he exploiting these families? Why is he using
5:40
Speaker 1: them for a photo op? Why is he bothering these
5:43
Speaker 1: families their time of grief? But he was there. It's
5:46
Speaker 1: the toughest thing at president can do, meet with the
5:50
Speaker 1: families of men and women killed in war.
5:53
Speaker 4: All I'm going to say is we love you, We
5:55
Speaker 4: love your child, And that's what they are to them.
5:58
Speaker 4: They're their children.
6:00
Speaker 3: There's no games, no nothing, that's their child.
6:04
Speaker 4: And all you could do is throw out your heart.
6:07
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, it's a tough, tough Every president will
6:10
Speaker 1: tell you the toughest part of the job. A lot
6:12
Speaker 1: of times it's just a letter you send. But certain
6:16
Speaker 1: presidents Trump George W. Bush, they had this thing about
6:19
Speaker 1: actually meeting with the families, and even if they couldn't
6:22
Speaker 1: meet with them, calling them, talking to them, it was
6:25
Speaker 1: very important to them. Crazy mom Donnie. A lot of
6:30
Speaker 1: people pointing out, even with his own base, he's gonna
6:35
Speaker 1: have a problem. He's gonna become known as just a
6:37
Speaker 1: TikTok mayor where everything looks great on TikTok but not
6:43
Speaker 1: in reality. And it's a lot of promises that, you know,
6:46
Speaker 1: things that never happened. Free buses, there's no free buses.
6:49
Speaker 1: And open grocery stores, there's no grocery stores. You'll never
6:52
Speaker 1: see one of these grocery stores. You'll never live to
6:54
Speaker 1: see a grocery store. Everything he talks about never happens.
6:57
Speaker 1: So the whole thing with Yahoo just adds to that. It's,
7:02
Speaker 1: you know everything, Well, he must have known he couldn't
7:05
Speaker 1: arrest Benjamin Netanyah, who, first of all, a mayor has
7:08
Speaker 1: no power to arrest anybody. He would have to beg
7:12
Speaker 1: the police commissioner to do it, Jessica Tish, who's Jewish.
7:15
Speaker 1: It is not going to arrest Benjamin netan Yahoo. If
7:19
Speaker 1: you watch Law and Order, that was half the episodes,
7:21
Speaker 1: the mayor wanting somebody arrested, begging the police commissioner, and
7:26
Speaker 1: it wouldn't happen even if even if she was willing
7:29
Speaker 1: to do it. You can't arrest Benjamin net Yahoo. He's
7:33
Speaker 1: here coming here in September for the UN General Assembly.
7:37
Speaker 1: The foreign leaders that come to that are under federal protection.
7:40
Speaker 1: There's actual laws on the book protecting them, and it
7:44
Speaker 1: would be illegal to arrest them. And remember, federal law
7:49
Speaker 1: always overrules local law. In fact, under the law, to
7:54
Speaker 1: even threaten to arrest them is a crime and you
7:57
Speaker 1: can be convicted of that. So you know, mom, Donnie
8:01
Speaker 1: has already committed the crime. That's a crime. Trump could
8:04
Speaker 1: have him arrested if he wanted to, but you know
8:07
Speaker 1: he won't do that. But the whole thing is preposterous.
8:11
Speaker 1: He knew this was impossible, I don't. I mean, if
8:14
Speaker 1: he really was interested in arresting Benjamin not in Yahoo,
8:17
Speaker 1: I'm sure he would have asked about it. So he
8:19
Speaker 1: knows it can't happen, but he went out and made
8:20
Speaker 1: a whole production out of it, a whole theatrical production
8:23
Speaker 1: of Arresting Net in Yahoo. Then he had to go
8:26
Speaker 1: on and announce it's not going to happen. He can't
8:28
Speaker 1: do it. But it's just another one of those things. Again,
8:31
Speaker 1: he's a TikTok mayor. You see all these great videos
8:34
Speaker 1: on TikTok, but in real life he can't get anything done.
8:37
Speaker 1: Nothing he promises happens. Hey, he also promised a billion
8:41
Speaker 1: dollar community safety program that would replace the NYPD billion
8:46
Speaker 1: dollar community safety program. Been in office six months now.
8:51
Speaker 1: There's no program. But well there is a program, but
8:54
Speaker 1: it only has two staffers. Two people are working on it.
8:59
Speaker 1: That's about it. So again, the TikTok mayor gets nothing done.
9:03
Speaker 1: Everything fizzles in real life. The free buses, and I'm
9:07
Speaker 1: sure he knew this. He has no power to make
9:10
Speaker 1: the buses free. The buses are totally controlled by the
9:14
Speaker 1: state by Kathy Hockel. It's the MTA that runs the buses.
9:18
Speaker 1: They're the only ones that can make it free. And
9:20
Speaker 1: they're not going to do that. The MTA. They're always
9:22
Speaker 1: yelling at screaming they need more money. Hey, what about
9:25
Speaker 1: those tax hikes on the rich? What about the property tax?
9:28
Speaker 1: What about all the one that's mostly the state. Now
9:31
Speaker 1: there is word that he's threatening, privately, threatening Kathy Hockel
9:35
Speaker 1: that she better push to get this done if she
9:39
Speaker 1: wants his support for reelection, and she feels she'll need
9:43
Speaker 1: it because she's a a goofball, a disaster and she's
9:47
Speaker 1: facing a real strong candidate. Bruce Blakeman be the perfect governor.
9:51
Speaker 1: He is a perfect governor already Nassau county executive. That's
9:54
Speaker 1: what you do, is a county executive, you're a governor.
9:57
Speaker 1: And he's been brilliant at it, so he'd be the
9:59
Speaker 1: perfect govern governor. So she's got a tough time getting
10:03
Speaker 1: re elected, and she thinks she's going to need the wackos,
10:06
Speaker 1: the crazy, you know, socialist Democrats, and she's going to
10:09
Speaker 1: need his endorsement. So he's got a lot of leverage
10:13
Speaker 1: over her. Right now, Blakeman taking out a new ad.
10:15
Speaker 1: I like this. Sometimes candidates do this. It's a reverse
10:18
Speaker 1: ad where you pretend it's the other candidates ad. In
10:24
Speaker 1: other words, you pretend it's a hocal ad and you
10:26
Speaker 1: make her sound bad here it is.
10:28
Speaker 5: We've raised tolls and fares over twenty times because the
10:31
Speaker 5: best way to fix traffic is to ensure regular people
10:34
Speaker 5: can't afford to drive or take the subway. And we
10:37
Speaker 5: ended cash bail so that we would stop punishing people
10:39
Speaker 5: who commit brutal crimes against our fellow New Yorkers like
10:42
Speaker 5: this nice young man.
10:44
Speaker 1: Awesome crack this November.
10:46
Speaker 5: Don't let Bruce Blakeman lower your taxes or make New
10:49
Speaker 5: York safe. Keep it unsafe and unaffordable with Kathy Hokeel
10:54
Speaker 5: as your governor.
10:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what do you think? It's an
10:57
Speaker 1: effective technique? Sometimes? Yeah, I actually like it. I like it.
11:01
Speaker 1: So problem is, Hockel has got about forty two million
11:04
Speaker 1: to spend. She's raised twenty million. The Democrat Party has
11:08
Speaker 1: about twenty two million to give her. Blakeman has raised
11:11
Speaker 1: eleven million. It's tough for him because normally, hey, all
11:16
Speaker 1: the big business guys want Blakeman very badly, but many
11:20
Speaker 1: of them afraid to donate because they're doing business here
11:22
Speaker 1: and they don't want Kathy Hockel mad at them. So
11:25
Speaker 1: it's tough for him. So he needs help. He needs donations.
11:28
Speaker 1: He can donate go to blakemanfronewyork dot com. Help him
11:32
Speaker 1: out blakemanfronew york dot com. Now, the big election issue
11:38
Speaker 1: midterms coming up, big, big, big issue in the election
11:42
Speaker 1: was affordability. The whole election was affordability. But Democrats have
11:47
Speaker 1: once again screwed themselves up completely, you know, very often
11:52
Speaker 1: as bad as the Republicans can get. No matter how
11:55
Speaker 1: bad the Republicans get, the Democrats have a talent to
11:58
Speaker 1: always make themselves even worse, to find some way to
12:01
Speaker 1: be even worse. And they've done it this time by
12:04
Speaker 1: becoming socialist communist thing. They keep using the word socialists.
12:07
Speaker 1: It's the same thing as communism. It's just socialists are
12:11
Speaker 1: usually elected, Communists usually take over through revolution. But it's
12:14
Speaker 1: the same, exact, same exact thing. So, uh, this movement,
12:20
Speaker 1: the whole democratic movement, to become communists, that's going to
12:24
Speaker 1: be the midterm issue. And for that it's easy for
12:29
Speaker 1: Republicans to win. And that's why President Trump is just
12:32
Speaker 1: going after the communist stuff. You know, it used to
12:35
Speaker 1: be if you were a communist and you were in
12:37
Speaker 1: government and a communist boy you had to hide. McCarthy
12:39
Speaker 1: would hunt you down and you had to lie and
12:42
Speaker 1: say you weren't ya Are you a communist?
12:45
Speaker 4: No?
12:45
Speaker 1: No, no, Now the campaign is communists, So Trump is
12:49
Speaker 1: going to use that as the issue with communism.
12:52
Speaker 4: Everything turns to okay, true, terrible time.
13:04
Speaker 1: It's my wife face it when I do that.
13:08
Speaker 4: She said you were doing so nicely and then you
13:09
Speaker 4: had to use a foul ware.
13:11
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, but again he's the Howard Stern president. Yeah,
13:15
Speaker 1: why does he have to talk like that? Why does
13:16
Speaker 1: he have to say that he's a Howard Stern sort
13:18
Speaker 1: of president.
13:19
Speaker 4: And you know they want to give everyone everything away.
13:22
Speaker 4: You want free rent, you want free house, you want
13:24
Speaker 4: to What they don't say is in a year from
13:26
Speaker 4: now they'll be absolute squalor, turmoil and death. These people
13:31
Speaker 4: are crazy, but communism is. In my opinion, communism is
13:38
Speaker 4: the single greatest threat to our country and its history,
13:41
Speaker 4: including even World War One and World War two Pearl
13:45
Speaker 4: Harbor nine to eleven. I think it's the greatest threat
13:47
Speaker 4: that I've ever seen to our country. These people are
13:49
Speaker 4: stone called crazy.
13:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, combats of the Founding Fathers coming back and seeing
13:54
Speaker 1: Democrats are trying to bring communism to It's crazy. So
13:59
Speaker 1: it's going to be the issue.
14:01
Speaker 4: Now.
14:01
Speaker 1: The real question is you got the elders of the
14:04
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, the people who you would think really behind
14:07
Speaker 1: the scenes are running the Democratic Party, the smart, experienced people.
14:12
Speaker 1: Why are they so frightened? I don't mean the shumers,
14:15
Speaker 1: are those types Jeffrey's I mean those are just frightened
14:19
Speaker 1: idiots hiding under their desk. But we're the Clintons, and
14:23
Speaker 1: I know behind the scenes, the Clintons hate this. They
14:26
Speaker 1: hate what's going on. The Obamas hate this. All the
14:29
Speaker 1: smart Democrats were But where are they? How did they
14:32
Speaker 1: lose control? How do they get so frightened of these
14:34
Speaker 1: twelve year old communists? They're just terrified of them in
14:38
Speaker 1: standing up to them. Anyway, we'll get back to that.

17:39
Speaker 3: really it's a dog whistle for his troops. He's we
17:44
Speaker 3: know that, we know that Yeah, so if he's if
17:47
Speaker 3: we know that, then why don't we charge him from
17:50
Speaker 3: inciting to riot.
17:51
Speaker 1: Well, we don't have to do that. Just threatening, to
17:54
Speaker 1: believe it or not, just threatening. The arrest of net
17:56
Speaker 1: and Yahoo is a crime under the law. I don't
17:59
Speaker 1: have it in front of me. But there's several laws.
18:01
Speaker 1: When a foreign leader comes to you in General Assembly,
18:04
Speaker 1: he's under a certain protected status by the federal government.
18:07
Speaker 1: It is a very serious crime to arrest him, harass him,
18:12
Speaker 1: harm him in any way, handcuff him, and you can
18:15
Speaker 1: face up to ten years in prison for that. But
18:18
Speaker 1: if you read the law, there's a section in there
18:21
Speaker 1: that it's illegal to even threaten a foreign leader coming
18:24
Speaker 1: to the General Assembly, to even threaten him with anything
18:28
Speaker 1: or try to intimidate him or menace him, and that's
18:31
Speaker 1: a crime under federal law. You can be put in
18:33
Speaker 1: jail for three years up to three years for that.
18:37
Speaker 1: The President could right now arrest mom, Donnie, and he'd
18:40
Speaker 1: easily be convicted under the law. But you know the
18:44
Speaker 1: President isn't that ruthless. He'll give him another chance. Let's
18:48
Speaker 1: go to rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich How you doing Andy?
18:52
Speaker 2: Thanks? Mark. You know when Doommy steps over the line
18:54
Speaker 2: a little bit more. Trump needs to become ruthless. He
18:57
Speaker 2: needs to become ruthless and Iran he needs to finish
18:59
Speaker 2: the off. Our guests went from three twenty nine to
19:02
Speaker 2: three eighty in about four days. But the thing I
19:05
Speaker 2: want to talk to you about was the poll I
19:06
Speaker 2: saw this morning where you have the new Hampshire Pole.
19:10
Speaker 2: We have aoc Buddha jedge is the top two candidates
19:14
Speaker 2: sent some other knuckle ahead, and then you got Newsom
19:16
Speaker 2: and Harris while the way down your line. Can you
19:19
Speaker 2: imagine Rubio or Advance debating any one of those those
19:23
Speaker 2: war arms on that stage. What that would look like?
19:25
Speaker 1: Remember, ninety percent of the public polls that you said
19:28
Speaker 1: you see on the news or in television or in
19:30
Speaker 1: the news are totally rigged and absolutely absurd polls.
19:34
Speaker 2: Not even one of MacLaughlin coming back on polls.
19:37
Speaker 1: Well, I'm taking off tomorrow. We'll get them for next week.
19:39
Speaker 1: We'll get John McLaughlin's one of the great.
19:42
Speaker 2: You're pretty much done for Fridays for the rest of
19:44
Speaker 2: the summer.
19:45
Speaker 1: That Eric, No, I don't want to say that. I mean, well,
19:50
Speaker 1: let me ask you something.
19:51
Speaker 2: Anybody's allowed to take a day off, right, all right?
19:53
Speaker 1: But let me ask you, is it better if I
19:54
Speaker 1: just take a whole week off or just take a
19:56
Speaker 1: bunch of Fridays off? Which is better?
20:00
Speaker 3: Oh?
20:00
Speaker 2: That's a hard pin. That's odd because maybe you have
20:03
Speaker 2: Vincent or somebody else come in the house to show
20:04
Speaker 2: on a Tuesday or something like that. That'd be pretty funny.
20:07
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
20:08
Speaker 2: It's fifty fifty. It's fifty fifty. You don't want to
20:10
Speaker 2: You don't want to be away that long, you know.
20:11
Speaker 1: No, I don't want to take a whole I don't
20:13
Speaker 1: want to take a week off. So I just I
20:17
Speaker 1: got a lot of weeks vacation every year, so to
20:19
Speaker 1: do it, I just think I'm sure stuff to take
20:22
Speaker 1: a lot of Fridays off, it's better than taking a
20:24
Speaker 1: whole week off at once.
20:26
Speaker 2: That's true. That's true.
20:27
Speaker 1: Thanks Mark, all right, thanks for calling. Uh and uh,
20:32
Speaker 1: now I forgot what I was going to say. What
20:33
Speaker 1: were we talking about with him? Oh, Ma'm Donnie, Yeah, Mom, Donnie. So, uh,
20:39
Speaker 1: it's not they call it a dog with it's not
20:41
Speaker 1: a dog whistle. I mean a dog whistle is a
20:43
Speaker 1: kind of hint at something. This is a factory whistle.
20:46
Speaker 1: The whole town can't hear it. He's screaming, he's gonna
20:49
Speaker 1: go after a net and yahu the You gotta remember,
20:51
Speaker 1: it's it's just they pretend it's anti Israel. All these
20:56
Speaker 1: crazy democrats, socialists, all these left wing cooks, they pretend
21:01
Speaker 1: the grudges with Israel. It's actually anti Semitism. It's real, dirty,
21:07
Speaker 1: ugly anti semitism. They disguise it as anti Israel. And
21:11
Speaker 1: if you're not Jewish and you said, well, it doesn't
21:13
Speaker 1: affect me, it does affect you. Anytime you'll allow any
21:16
Speaker 1: kind of crazed bigotry, it's harmful to everybody. And remember
21:21
Speaker 1: with these crazy socialist communists, and this has always been
21:24
Speaker 1: the case. It's first chapter is anti Semitism, and then
21:29
Speaker 1: the next thing, you know, it's anti Catholic, and then
21:31
Speaker 1: the next thing you know, it's anti America. You've already seen, mom,
21:34
Speaker 1: Donny get anti Italian, anti Irish when you put that
21:37
Speaker 1: map out. So hey, when we come back, we'll talk
21:40
Speaker 1: to Steve Moore. Let's see if we do. So far,
21:44
Speaker 1: he's been pretty good. He missed last week. We couldn't
21:46
Speaker 1: find him, but I think that was an exception like,
21:50
Speaker 1: he's been very good, so I predictable. Find Steve Moore next.
21:54
Speaker 1: Lots to talk to him about coming up on seven
21:56
Speaker 1: to ten WR mister New York on the game The
22:01
Speaker 1: Mark Simone Showoor.
22:06
Speaker 2: Well.
22:06
Speaker 1: Steve Moore than brilliant economist and great columnists. You should
22:11
Speaker 1: read his latest book, The Trump Economic Miracle. Great book,
22:15
Speaker 1: Trump Economic Miracle. And then he runs the Committee to
22:18
Speaker 1: Unleashed Prosperity. Every day they put out the best daily news,
22:21
Speaker 1: briefing and analysis. Great stuff. It's free, it'll come right
22:25
Speaker 1: to your email. You can go sign up at Unleash
22:28
Speaker 1: Prosperity dot com. Steve Moore, how you doing.
22:33
Speaker 2: Hey, Mark? I am doing really well. By the way,
22:35
Speaker 2: I apologize I missed your show last Thursday, but I
22:39
Speaker 2: had think I have a pretty good excuse I had.
22:42
Speaker 2: I did a day long visit to a data center
22:45
Speaker 2: in Loudin County, Virginia. Now, have you ever been to
22:49
Speaker 2: a data center? Mark?
22:51
Speaker 1: No, I don't know. Most people haven't, but I'm yeah fascinate.
22:55
Speaker 2: Well, I have to tell you it was an amazing experience.
22:57
Speaker 2: These are technological marvels they're in. I mean, I've never
23:01
Speaker 2: seen so many construction workers, so many trucks, so many
23:04
Speaker 2: Caterpillar very much creterpiller equipment. This is the nerve center
23:08
Speaker 2: of the Internet. We need these data centers. And as
23:11
Speaker 2: you know, there's a revolt around the country and in
23:14
Speaker 2: the state. You'reine in New York, you're idiot governor said,
23:16
Speaker 2: you know, moratorium on data centers. Well, does that mean
23:19
Speaker 2: she wants some moratorium on the internet.
23:21
Speaker 1: Well, like most crazy left wing voters, they don't realize
23:26
Speaker 1: the consequences of what they're voting.
23:27
Speaker 6: For.
23:28
Speaker 1: You, they won't be able to use their phone eventually.
23:30
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean people, I always say people, do
23:32
Speaker 2: you like your I phone? You know, like your cell
23:34
Speaker 2: phone in your hand that you can't you know, lived without.
23:37
Speaker 2: Oh I love it? Well, but I don't want data centers.
23:40
Speaker 2: That'll be like saying I want I want electricity, but
23:43
Speaker 2: I don't want an electric power plant.
23:44
Speaker 1: All right, let's go over the three objections. One is
23:47
Speaker 1: it uses up all the electricity? Is that true?
23:51
Speaker 2: Well, they do use an enormous amount of power, no question.
23:54
Speaker 2: The Internet is very uses a lot of energy, and
23:58
Speaker 2: yet they pay you know what they're doing now And
24:01
Speaker 2: I've I've been working with these internet companies and the
24:04
Speaker 2: data centers, they are now paying the freight for the
24:08
Speaker 2: energy that they use, so much so that in Virginia
24:10
Speaker 2: they've actually lowered the rates that pay that the homeowners
24:14
Speaker 2: pay in that area because they pay all of their
24:17
Speaker 2: variable cost and all the fixed costs for the for
24:20
Speaker 2: the electric power. So this idea that they're going to
24:23
Speaker 2: force everybody to pay more for electricity is wrong in
24:26
Speaker 2: many cases. They they In fact, if you look at
24:29
Speaker 2: Virginia and compare Virginia, say with New York, where you
24:31
Speaker 2: have no data centers, the rates electric power rates are
24:35
Speaker 2: falling in Virginia and they're.
24:37
Speaker 1: Going way up in New York. Yeah, sometimes they try
24:39
Speaker 1: to claim they can provide their own electricity, but we
24:42
Speaker 1: haven't seen that in the well.
24:43
Speaker 2: Some of them are talking about like building literally a
24:45
Speaker 2: nuclear power reactor, a small module next to the data
24:49
Speaker 2: that's still a little bit far off in the future,
24:51
Speaker 2: but at some point they probably will, you know, do
24:54
Speaker 2: that with these you know many nuclear modules that are
24:57
Speaker 2: you know, you know, one tenth the size of.
25:00
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, a three mile island reactor.
25:03
Speaker 2: But but uh, you know, this is this is kind
25:05
Speaker 2: of a myth because in the state, in the areas
25:07
Speaker 2: where you have the data centers. They they use a
25:11
Speaker 2: lot of electric power, but they pay a lot of
25:13
Speaker 2: the freight for the electricity they use.
25:15
Speaker 1: What about using up the water supply of the town.
25:18
Speaker 2: Oh, that was that's one of the most focusing you know,
25:21
Speaker 2: one of the things we saw on these data centers.
25:24
Speaker 2: I mean these are huge, by the way, markets are
25:26
Speaker 2: like two football fields long, massive amount of computers and uh,
25:30
Speaker 2: and they have these massive pumps because water for you know,
25:34
Speaker 2: it's a it's an interesting engineering experiment. The reason they
25:37
Speaker 2: use so much water, you know what they use.
25:39
Speaker 1: The water for? No cooling?
25:40
Speaker 2: I guess cooling. Yeah, yeah, cooling because you know, there's
25:44
Speaker 2: so much heat created by these computers. They need to
25:47
Speaker 2: cool them down, and so the water is what cools
25:50
Speaker 2: down so that they don't end up exploding. Uh. But
25:54
Speaker 2: they've become almost circular. They do use a lot of water,
25:56
Speaker 2: but it's they're now recycling it, so it just you know,
25:59
Speaker 2: flows back and forth through the plant. So that's kind
26:02
Speaker 2: of bogus argument as well.
26:04
Speaker 1: Okay, the third argument is that they make a tremendous
26:07
Speaker 1: amount of noise and that the residents wouldn't be able
26:09
Speaker 1: to sleep at night.
26:11
Speaker 2: Well, they are noisy, They can be noisy, but that's
26:14
Speaker 2: why you So for example, the one that I visited
26:19
Speaker 2: was right in the shadows of Dolus Airport. So what's
26:21
Speaker 2: going on at Doulus Airport? Every every twenty five seconds
26:25
Speaker 2: there's a plane, you know, flying by. So nobody complains
26:28
Speaker 2: with the data is because you know the plan. So,
26:32
Speaker 2: by the way, would be the same things that we
26:33
Speaker 2: don't want airports in this country. We're gonna have airports.
26:36
Speaker 2: They made for too much noise. But but you know,
26:40
Speaker 2: but that's why I think they should be built only
26:43
Speaker 2: in communities that want them. This is an enormous amount
26:45
Speaker 2: of jobs. These are people are making fifty to one
26:48
Speaker 2: hundred dollars an hour or more. You know, the technicians
26:51
Speaker 2: make you know, several hundred thousand dollars a year. So
26:55
Speaker 2: this is the future. But you know, the other thing
26:57
Speaker 2: is we are in a race, as you know, I
26:59
Speaker 2: call it the indy five hundred race against the Chinese
27:02
Speaker 2: to see who's going to get there first. Because it's
27:04
Speaker 2: not like we're going to stop AI and data centers
27:06
Speaker 2: from happening. They're going to happen. It's just a question
27:08
Speaker 2: of whether it's gonna be controlled by the USA or
27:12
Speaker 2: China right now. I mean we're you know, I mean
27:15
Speaker 2: we have a little bit of a lead, but not
27:17
Speaker 2: a big lead on China.
27:18
Speaker 1: So the reason we need the AI uses like a
27:21
Speaker 1: million times more whatever than a simple Google search would
27:25
Speaker 1: it uses set right. So, but the way this technology advances,
27:28
Speaker 1: don't you think in five years the whole data center
27:31
Speaker 1: will be the size of a vending machine. Besides of
27:34
Speaker 1: what a vending machine in other words, Oh, I don't
27:37
Speaker 1: know about that.
27:38
Speaker 2: But they get better all the time in terms of
27:40
Speaker 2: their efficiency, no question about it. And at some point,
27:44
Speaker 2: you know when you talked about the future, at some
27:47
Speaker 2: point the data centers will probably be up in the atmosphere.
27:50
Speaker 1: Oh oh, I mean in space.
27:52
Speaker 2: They'll be like satellites that'll do the So, I mean,
27:55
Speaker 2: you know, the future is coming quickly, and I just
27:57
Speaker 2: want America to win the race to the future. I
27:59
Speaker 2: don't want the China.
28:02
Speaker 1: Would say, but go ahead. When you walk around in
28:06
Speaker 1: the data center, what goes I mean obviously all the equipment,
28:08
Speaker 1: But are there a lot of people working there?
28:12
Speaker 2: Not a lot? I mean these are huge mega computers, uh,
28:17
Speaker 2: and you have technicians running around making sure that there's
28:21
Speaker 2: a lot of security because you know, we're vulnerable if
28:24
Speaker 2: if China wanted to, you know, or a terrorists wanted
28:28
Speaker 2: to do damage to our country take up these data
28:30
Speaker 2: centers all of a sudden. Guess what, you don't get
28:32
Speaker 2: your internet, you don't get your GPS system, you don't
28:34
Speaker 2: get the secure you know. The military is very dependent
28:37
Speaker 2: on the data centers as well, so there's a lot
28:40
Speaker 2: of security at these things. They would not let me
28:43
Speaker 2: bring a camera in, by the way, they would not
28:45
Speaker 2: let me take fixtures because they're worried about Chinese espionage. So,
28:50
Speaker 2: but the technicians are everywhere. The construction was amazing though,
28:54
Speaker 2: because they keep expanding these, you know, and I've never
28:57
Speaker 2: seen so. And the construction workers union is the bigges
28:59
Speaker 2: of you. They're the biggest advocates of of the of
29:03
Speaker 2: the data centers because that's where a lot of the
29:05
Speaker 2: jobs are coming from.
29:06
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, who owns these data centers? Are they all independent?
29:10
Speaker 1: Are they owned by a tech company? Who is the
29:12
Speaker 1: data centers?
29:13
Speaker 2: Well, I would tell you that except I have to
29:14
Speaker 2: kill you. I mean, they're very secretive actually about who
29:18
Speaker 2: owns them. And so some of the companies, like the
29:22
Speaker 2: Googles and Amazons and stuff run their own data centers
29:26
Speaker 2: and some of the then you have these independent companies
29:29
Speaker 2: that build them and then they essentially rent them out.
29:33
Speaker 2: They you know, there was they operate the data centers
29:36
Speaker 2: and the Googles and the you know in videos and
29:38
Speaker 2: so on. They contract with the data centers to use
29:42
Speaker 2: their uh, you know, their facilities.
29:45
Speaker 1: So we could open a data center and then contact.
29:50
Speaker 2: You know. But they're enormous. I mean, they they are gigantic.
29:54
Speaker 2: They as I said, they're several acres dig they're like
29:57
Speaker 2: giant they look like those giant Amazon houses that people
30:00
Speaker 2: are familiar with. And so but it's pretty exciting in
30:04
Speaker 2: the future. And and you know, now they've got the
30:07
Speaker 2: uh you know, one of the things this AI is
30:10
Speaker 2: doing now is they're being able now to detect cancer
30:13
Speaker 2: cells in the body much much much sooner than the
30:17
Speaker 2: old technologies. So just as one example, because of this
30:21
Speaker 2: AI revolution, which is dependent on data centers, you know,
30:24
Speaker 2: within twenty years, we could literally have cures for cancer
30:27
Speaker 2: because we'll be able to detect them. As anyone knows
30:30
Speaker 2: who's had the tragedy of you know and the loved
30:32
Speaker 2: one having cancer. This earlier you can detect the cancer,
30:35
Speaker 2: the more likely you are to cure it.
30:37
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, I don't know this, but do you have
30:40
Speaker 1: to put the data center like local to where you're
30:42
Speaker 1: going to need it or can they be any place.
30:43
Speaker 2: In the world. Well, that's that's a good question. Mark.
30:46
Speaker 2: I asked that exact same question to the technical people there.
30:50
Speaker 2: You know, there is a benefit to proximity because you
30:53
Speaker 2: need the transmission lines. But at some point I said,
30:56
Speaker 2: why can't we build these things out in the desert? Yeah,
30:59
Speaker 2: you know, And the problem is you would just need
31:02
Speaker 2: long transmission lines, you know, getting that to New York
31:06
Speaker 2: City or to Baltimore or to you know, your local community.
31:09
Speaker 2: But I think at some point that might be the future.
31:12
Speaker 2: You build them in outer space, and you build them
31:14
Speaker 2: in you know, very remote.
31:15
Speaker 1: Areas well, the way you describe it. Obviously, it costs
31:18
Speaker 1: millions and millions to open one of these things, So
31:21
Speaker 1: why don't just put some heavy taxes on them and
31:23
Speaker 1: have them to help our tax burden.
31:27
Speaker 2: Well, there's all sorts of alternatives to how we do this,
31:31
Speaker 2: but we have to do it. And people say, well,
31:32
Speaker 2: I don't want to AI is here. Businesses are already
31:35
Speaker 2: using AI and we're in I've said many times in couplers.
31:38
Speaker 2: So we're in the middle of an incredible productivity revolution.
31:41
Speaker 1: I mean, how about this Mark.
31:43
Speaker 2: You know what we could with these productivity improvements. They're
31:47
Speaker 2: coming four day work week.
31:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I'm already doing that, but but I know,
31:56
Speaker 1: Steve Moore, this has been fascinating, what a fascinating It's great.
32:00
Speaker 2: I mean it's I wish every American could go visit
32:04
Speaker 2: a data center and you could see with your two
32:06
Speaker 2: eyes what's going on in these things. They are mind
32:10
Speaker 2: numbing in terms. I mean, think about this. Remember the
32:13
Speaker 2: old Lily Tomlin, you know skits where she would pay
32:16
Speaker 2: the play the uh oh the switch to the telephone
32:19
Speaker 2: operator and she'd put me, oh you want to call
32:22
Speaker 2: Mike Smith, okay, and then she'd take the plug out,
32:24
Speaker 2: she put it, put it into the you know that
32:27
Speaker 2: was like one one telephone call and one one operator
32:30
Speaker 2: was you know, you know, transmitting your call. These are
32:34
Speaker 2: billions of transactions and communications that are happening every minute.
32:39
Speaker 1: Well, well, Steve, more fascinating interview. This is it is unbelievable. Well,
32:44
Speaker 1: great stuff. Everybody gets. Steve Moore's book The Trump Economic miracle,
