- 0:00Speaker 1: Labor Day, I don't know how it got here so fast,
- 0:03Speaker 1: but it's here. So it was interesting. Trump visited NASA,
- 0:08Speaker 1: and he's very interested in the moon, which he'll probably rename.
- 0:11Speaker 1: It'll be probably Moon America or something, but he's really
- 0:15Speaker 1: interested in going back there. And he's right. We shouldn't
- 0:18Speaker 1: have abandoned the space program when we did. We just
- 0:22Speaker 1: gave up on it. It was a big part of
- 0:24Speaker 1: the Kennedy administration. In 1960, 61, he took office, and
- 0:26Speaker 1: he said, By the end of the decade, we'll land
- 0:32Speaker 1: a man on the moon. It sounded insane at the time.
- 0:35Speaker 1: It sounded like something so far in the future. But
- 0:38Speaker 1: he did it by the end of the decade, 1969.
- 0:42Speaker 1: So the president, before he leaves office, which is two
- 0:46Speaker 1: years before he leaves office, he wants to land a
- 0:49Speaker 1: man on the moon. And he thinks it's very important.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Big speech at NASA.
- 0:54Speaker 2: From the very beginning, America has always been a frontier
- 0:57Speaker 2: nation and space is the highest of all the frontiers.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Our manifest destiny is to explore and settle this great unknown,
- 1:06Speaker 2: carry forward the light of American liberty into the stars.
- 1:12Speaker 1: So, it's a great goal. You know, it was very
- 1:15Speaker 1: important that we landed a man on the moon in 1969,
- 1:18Speaker 1: and it led to important things if we landed a
- 1:22Speaker 1: man on the moon. I don't know exactly what we
- 1:27Speaker 1: It looked good. The pictures were fascinating. And then we
- 1:30Speaker 1: sent more men to the moon and well, they walked around,
- 1:35Speaker 1: they collected some rocks. Remember that one astronaut hit a
- 1:39Speaker 1: golf ball on the moon. Outside of that, I don't
- 1:43Speaker 1: know what the, I mean, they keep telling us that, well,
- 1:45Speaker 1: we're going to colonize it. We're going to have data
- 1:47Speaker 1: centers there. We're going to, I don't know how you're
- 1:49Speaker 1: going to do any of that, but it's a great goal.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Before the end of my term, American astronauts will return
- 1:54Speaker 2: to the lunar surface at We're looking forward to that.
- 1:58Speaker 1: We'll do it. And we're then going to the next step.
- 2:01Speaker 2: And when we do, they'll plant this very important flag
- 2:04Speaker 2: to mark the site of the first permanent American settlement
- 2:08Speaker 2: on the moon. They're going to have a settlement. They're
- 2:09Speaker 2: building a settlement up in the moon.
- 2:11Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:12Speaker 1: All right. I don't know who want to live there.
- 2:15Speaker 1: You know, some people move to Rockland County. Well, that's
- 2:18Speaker 1: a little too far to come. But imagine from the moon.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I mean, what does that mean? We're going to live
- 2:25Speaker 1: on the moon. What does that mean? They'll have a Starbucks.
- 2:27Speaker 1: They'll have a Costco. There'll be a Chipotle. I mean,
- 2:31Speaker 1: that's really all it means. So, hey, this is fascinating. Now,
- 2:36Speaker 1: you know, Jimmy Fallon is still on the air. That's
- 2:40Speaker 1: the Tonight Show. I mean, that's the original late night show.
- 2:46Speaker 1: It's hard to cancel that. But Jimmy Kimmel is very
- 2:48Speaker 1: close to being canceled. Remember, his contract ended and they
- 2:52Speaker 1: wouldn't give him a new contract. They just put him
- 2:54Speaker 1: on a one-year extension, which he's on now. One-year extension,
- 2:59Speaker 1: and he's taken the summer off. That's kind of the
- 3:02Speaker 1: Howard Stern model, and it led to pretty much the
- 3:04Speaker 1: end of Howard Stern, which we'll get to coming up.
- 3:07Speaker 1: But Colbert, fired, thrown off the air, low ratings. And
- 3:14Speaker 1: who would they replace him with? Well, they decided to
- 3:17Speaker 1: do something a little different. They turned the time, the
- 3:19Speaker 1: one hour on CBS at 11.30... over to byron allen
- 3:22Speaker 1: he actually buys the time from cbs and he does
- 3:26Speaker 1: a late night show but it's nothing like kimmel or
- 3:29Speaker 1: colbert or found there's no political jokes there's no angry
- 3:33Speaker 1: politics it's just old-fashioned comedy it's called comics unleashed and
- 3:38Speaker 1: they have four comedians on every show and byron allen
- 3:43Speaker 1: interviews them but it's all it's all pre-arranged they know
- 3:45Speaker 1: uh you know what jokes the guy has so every
- 3:48Speaker 1: question is to lead into part of his routine but
- 3:50Speaker 1: it's very funny Comics Unleashed, good comedy show. Now, here's
- 3:53Speaker 1: the interesting part. It is now beating Jimmy Fallon on
- 3:57Speaker 1: The Tonight Show. It is now beating Jimmy Kimmel Live
- 4:02Speaker 1: in the most important demo of all. That's 18 to 49.
- 4:06Speaker 1: That's the key demo for TV shows. Byron Allen's Comics
- 4:12Speaker 1: Unleashed now beating Fallon, beating Kimmel. It's actually, is it
- 4:20Speaker 1: a two-hour show? Yeah, he's also on against Late Night
- 4:24Speaker 1: with Seth Meyers, and he's beating Late Night with Seth Meyers.
- 4:29Speaker 1: So this is interesting. This is old-fashioned comedy. This was
- 4:34Speaker 1: the idea of Late Night TV. You'd have a few laughs,
- 4:38Speaker 1: something entertaining, enjoyable laughs before you go to sleep. The
- 4:41Speaker 1: idea was not get all riled up and screaming about
- 4:44Speaker 1: Trump and hate Trump and get all mad and angry
- 4:48Speaker 1: with Colbert. So Byron Allen, I remember when first week,
- 4:53Speaker 1: he only had 600,000. Well, he's now beating in the
- 4:55Speaker 1: key demo, which is the most important. He's beating Fallon.
- 4:59Speaker 1: He's beating Kimmel. So that's big news. You're seeing a
- 5:04Speaker 1: turning point there. So as they're getting ready to dump Kimmel,
- 5:09Speaker 1: ABC might be looking at something like that. Let's just
- 5:12Speaker 1: go to old-fashioned comedy. Hey, you got Crazy Mom Donnie.
- 5:16Speaker 1: We'll get to him coming up. Kathy Hochul running against him,
- 5:20Speaker 1: trying anything and everything. Do you know that it was
- 5:24Speaker 1: actually illegal to dance in a restaurant in New York State?
- 5:29Speaker 1: There was a law against it. You're not allowed to
- 5:30Speaker 1: dance in a restaurant. It's an old law from the
- 5:33Speaker 1: 20s or something, from a million years ago. So she's
- 5:36Speaker 1: so desperate for trying to score points in any possible way.
- 5:41Speaker 1: She's repealed that law. You can now dance in a
- 5:43Speaker 1: New York City restaurant. All right. So she gets Kevin Bacon. Somehow,
- 5:49Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon gets suckered into this, doing a commercial with her. Now,
- 5:54Speaker 1: this is the problem with Kathy Hochul. She's sometimes not
- 5:58Speaker 1: very self-aware, doesn't realize how goofy she looks, doesn't realize
- 6:02Speaker 1: how dopey she is, doesn't realize how lame this commercial sounds.
- 6:07Speaker 1: This is her and Kevin Bacon. Consultants convince them that
- 6:11Speaker 1: this is cute, this is wonderful. You see the consultants
- 6:14Speaker 1: make money on the commercials. If you need to make
- 6:17Speaker 1: a commercial, they get a part of the production cost.
- 6:20Speaker 1: And then you got to air it, which means you
- 6:22Speaker 1: got to buy time to, they get a piece of
- 6:24Speaker 1: the time by. So consultants make a fortune. Campaign consultants
- 6:29Speaker 1: make all their money off commercials. So they'll convince you
- 6:31Speaker 1: this is a good idea. And when it's done, they'll say, wow,
- 6:34Speaker 1: it's powerful. It's great. Take a listen to it.
- 6:37Speaker 4: New York, did you know that for years, dancing was
- 6:39Speaker 4: banned in many bars and nightclubs?
- 6:41Speaker 1: Banned? You mean it was illegal to dance?
- 6:47Speaker 5: That's right, Kevin Bacon.
- 6:48Speaker 1: If I was to come into this club and wanted
- 6:50Speaker 1: to say salsa?
- 6:52Speaker 3: Nada.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Macarena?
- 6:54Speaker 5: Maca no-no.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Whip?
- 6:55Speaker 6: Nay-nay.
- 6:56Speaker 4: The state used to demand you get a license to
- 6:58Speaker 4: allow dancing, but we tossed that rule out.
- 7:00Speaker 7: What do you say to that, Kevin?
- 7:02Speaker 1: I say, let's dance. Oh, God. Yeah, keep running that.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman will pay for you to run that. He'll
- 7:13Speaker 1: pay for the cost of running that ad. That is embarrassing.
- 7:16Speaker 1: That is one awful ad. Hey, tipping is out of control.
- 7:22Speaker 1: You know, you used to tip 15% the waiter. Then
- 7:25Speaker 1: it became more like 20%. Now you look at a
- 7:28Speaker 1: lot of checks, it says 25%. You can check that off.
- 7:31Speaker 1: It's out of control everywhere you go. You know, Starbucks,
- 7:34Speaker 1: the barista wants a tip. Now, anytime you go to anything,
- 7:38Speaker 1: a counter, anything where you, could I have this? Yes.
- 7:42Speaker 1: And then they hand it to you. There's a tip
- 7:43Speaker 1: jar right there. Like you're supposed to tip them. What
- 7:45Speaker 1: are they there for except to hand you something? Why
- 7:48Speaker 1: do you have to tip them? It's just out of control.
- 7:50Speaker 1: And then the waiters will explain why they need so
- 7:53Speaker 1: much for the tip. Personally, 25%, I mean, if it's
- 7:57Speaker 1: really good, I'll tip 25%, but it's a lot. It's
- 8:00Speaker 1: a big percentage of the whole thing. And here's a server.
- 8:04Speaker 7: Out of that gratuity, the server also has to pay
- 8:08Speaker 7: the bar back, who are the people who come and
- 8:09Speaker 7: help clean up, make sure the tables stay clean. So
- 8:13Speaker 7: when I give somebody a receipt and they look at
- 8:15Speaker 7: me and they say, oh, gratuity is included, I say
- 8:17Speaker 7: gratuity is included, but a tip is not. And if
- 8:20Speaker 7: you can't afford the tip, then you.
- 8:22Speaker 5: Shouldn't be out.
- 8:24Speaker 1: I don't know. What the hell are you talking about?
- 8:26Speaker 1: Your tip versus your gratuity. You got to pay the barman.
- 8:29Speaker 1: The owner of the restaurant is supposed to pay him.
- 8:32Speaker 1: You're telling me this guy got there, goes there every
- 8:35Speaker 1: night just praying I'll tip him. He's not getting the salary.
- 8:37Speaker 1: You're supposed to get paid by the restaurant. It's not
- 8:40Speaker 1: like they're giving away the food. The prices are astronomical.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Should be enough to cover everything. I don't know. It's
- 8:48Speaker 1: a little too tip crazy. Sometimes you're at a, you know,
- 8:52Speaker 1: like you order online, like a Chipotle or something. You
- 8:55Speaker 1: do it online on the app. You order everything. You're
- 8:58Speaker 1: going to go in there. You're never going to see anybody.
- 8:59Speaker 1: You just go in there, pick up your bag and leave.
- 9:01Speaker 1: There's a tip button on the app. Supposed to tip
- 9:03Speaker 1: somebody I never saw. Well, you're tipping them for actually
- 9:06Speaker 1: putting the order together. Well, that's his job. Do I
- 9:10Speaker 1: put out a tip chart? Do I tell you people
- 9:11Speaker 1: to send me money? Do I want 20%? Too much tipping.
- 9:17Speaker 1: It's got to stop. It's getting out of control. Hey,
- 9:19Speaker 1: the Carnegie Deli is coming back. It is coming back.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Take a look at my Instagram. You can see it.
- 9:27Speaker 1: The picture was taken yesterday of the new place under construction. Now,
- 9:31Speaker 1: the old Carnegie Deli was at 55th and 7th. The
- 9:37Speaker 1: new Carnegie Deli It was a block away, and strangely, oddly,
- 9:42Speaker 1: ironically enough, it's going to be in a location that
- 9:46Speaker 1: used to be the Stage Delicatessen. That was the big
- 9:50Speaker 1: rival of the Carnegie Deli. Back in the heyday, it
- 9:52Speaker 1: was the Carnegie Deli, Leo Steiner and Milton Parker, and
- 9:58Speaker 1: then the Stage Deli, which had been run by this guy,
- 10:00Speaker 1: Max Asness. He was a major figure in America. It's
- 10:05Speaker 1: hard to believe. But back then, in the 50s and
- 10:07Speaker 1: the 60s and 70s, Max Asness, the Stage Deli, it
- 10:11Speaker 1: was big. Max Asness, he would be the mystery guest
- 10:15Speaker 1: on What's My Line. They'd stick him in sitcoms on TV.
- 10:19Speaker 1: They'd Johnny Carson would mention them all the time. But
- 10:22Speaker 1: then the Carnegie became the bigger and better one for years. And,
- 10:25Speaker 1: of course, became a legendary hangout. Remind me to talk
- 10:29Speaker 1: more about that later. There's a lot of great Carnegie stories.
- 10:33Speaker 1: But it's coming back. You can see the picture on
- 10:35Speaker 1: my Instagram. 54th and 7th Avenue, where the old Stage
- 10:41Speaker 1: Deli was. That's pretty interesting. Hey, we got a lot
- 10:43Speaker 1: more coming. It's our special holiday show. Don't go away.
- 10:46Speaker 1: There's a lot more just ahead. By the end of
- 10:49Speaker 1: his term, he wants to land on the moon. But Friday,
- 10:53Speaker 1: he also announced he's going to build a space academy.
- 10:56Speaker 1: You know, you got West Point for the Army. You
- 10:58Speaker 1: got the Naval Academy. You got the Air Force Academy.
- 11:01Speaker 1: He wants to build a space academy. He said it'll
- 11:05Speaker 1: be a top-line school with tough admission standards and a
- 11:11Speaker 1: beautiful campus to train the next generation of civilian and
- 11:15Speaker 1: military aerospace experts. It's actually a good idea because One
- 11:18Speaker 1: thing about all these astronauts and all the people they train,
- 11:22Speaker 1: they do go into the private sector and they do
- 11:24Speaker 1: a lot of great stuff. Some of our greatest pilots
- 11:26Speaker 1: were from NASA. He said, we're going to have an
- 11:30Speaker 1: academy for what people in this room love the most.
- 11:34Speaker 1: He was at the Johnson Space Center. That's the headquarters
- 11:37Speaker 1: of NASA in Houston. Now, you know why it's in Houston.
- 11:41Speaker 1: That's because Lyndon Johnson was president at the time from Texas.
- 11:44Speaker 1: So he put it in Houston. But where's the Space
- 11:48Speaker 1: Academy going to be? President Trump's saying, I'm choosing a
- 11:51Speaker 1: location now. He said, I'll announce a location very shortly.
- 11:55Speaker 1: I don't know where he's going to put it. It'll serve,
- 11:58Speaker 1: it'll actually be a good training ground, too, for the
- 12:01Speaker 1: United States Space Force, Air Force, and a lot of
- 12:04Speaker 1: civilian spaceflight people, you know, for the spaceflight industry. But
- 12:10Speaker 1: it'll attract, train, graduate the very best of our nation. Listen,
- 12:14Speaker 1: these astronauts... Our heroes, they're great at what they do.
- 12:19Speaker 1: You've got to admire these astronauts. But would you want
- 12:24Speaker 1: to do that? I don't find that, I mean, it's
- 12:28Speaker 1: a great thing that they do, but would you want
- 12:29Speaker 1: to be sitting in that capsule, locked up in that
- 12:31Speaker 1: little capsule? I don't even like to go on an airplane,
- 12:33Speaker 1: a regular airplane. If you're just in a capsule in
- 12:38Speaker 1: the dark, flying through the dark for days on end,
- 12:41Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like a lot of fun to me.
- 12:45Speaker 1: I mean, you watch Formula One, you say, wow, I'd
- 12:46Speaker 1: love to be driving that car. Or you watch somebody,
- 12:49Speaker 1: you know, hang gliding. Well, that looks like fun. But
- 12:54Speaker 1: locked in this dark space capsule for days on end,
- 12:56Speaker 1: it doesn't look like a lot of fun. Try it.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Go in your closet, close the door, sit there for
- 13:01Speaker 1: two days. You bring enough food and everything, and sit
- 13:05Speaker 1: in your closet for two days in the dark. See
- 13:06Speaker 1: how much you enjoy this. And if you said to yourself,
- 13:09Speaker 1: this is fun, then maybe you'd want to go to this...
- 13:13Speaker 1: Space Academy. Hey, there's the Iranian president. You got the IRG.
- 13:20Speaker 1: You got about 90 million people in Iran. This IRG,
- 13:25Speaker 1: these are this revolutionary army. These are all the lunatics.
- 13:29Speaker 1: There's 180,000 of them, but there's 90 million civilians. And
- 13:35Speaker 1: then you got this embattled Iranian president who runs the
- 13:38Speaker 1: Iranian parliament. Sounds very impressive, but they work out of
- 13:42Speaker 1: a cave. uh, a bomb shelter. Uh, but even the
- 13:46Speaker 1: Iranian president is admitting now that the U S sanctions
- 13:49Speaker 1: are crippling the country that, uh, Iran is closed, close
- 13:55Speaker 1: to complete collapse. President Massoud, whatever his name is. He
- 14:02Speaker 1: confessed Iran's economy has been dealt massive blows. And, uh,
- 14:07Speaker 1: he said, we're in a war situation. We got to
- 14:09Speaker 1: treat it like we're in a war situation. Uh, But
- 14:15Speaker 1: he said they'll fight on. They'll keep going. But even
- 14:18Speaker 1: he admits very, very, very close to collapse. Hey, speaking
- 14:23Speaker 1: about collapsing, Howard Stern, it's serious, is getting towards the end.
- 14:29Speaker 1: You know, he had a contract. The last contract was
- 14:32Speaker 1: $ 100 million a year for five years, $ 500 million contract.
- 14:37Speaker 1: In the good old days, there were millions of people
- 14:40Speaker 1: listening to the Howard Stern channel. Now it's more like 150,000.
- 14:43Speaker 1: What happened? Well, he went woke, lost a lot of
- 14:47Speaker 1: his audience that way, made some Hollywood friends by going
- 14:51Speaker 1: woke and becoming a left-wing kook, but lost most of
- 14:56Speaker 1: his audience. You know, it was two channels. If you
- 14:59Speaker 1: listen to Sirius, there was Howard 100 and then Howard 101.
- 15:03Speaker 1: It was two channels. One had the new stuff. One
- 15:06Speaker 1: had all the older stuff. Sirius now shutting down That's right,
- 15:12Speaker 1: shutting down the second Howard Stern channel. They just took
- 15:15Speaker 1: it away from him. It'll become Andy Cohen Radio. Yeah,
- 15:21Speaker 1: so they've taken away one channel. As far as the
- 15:25Speaker 1: remaining Howard Stern channel, well, he'll do one show a week.
- 15:31Speaker 1: One show a week. That's it. Just one show a week.
- 15:40Speaker 1: And that's not all year. That's like 26 weeks a
- 15:43Speaker 1: year or something. So we have vitamin shows on the
- 15:47Speaker 1: weekends that are on more than Howard Stern. This is
- 15:51Speaker 1: not good for him. And obviously, that $ 100 million a year,
- 15:54Speaker 1: it's greatly reduced by about 9 billion percent. So he's very, very, very,
- 16:00Speaker 1: very low salary compared to the old one. Employees have
- 16:06Speaker 1: been laid off. He laid off 12 staffers the other
- 16:08Speaker 1: day via Zoom. They were sent home immediately following the call.
- 16:13Speaker 1: They will receive severance packages based on how long they served.
- 16:17Speaker 1: So serious, slowly winding down their relationship with Howard Stern.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Let's take some calls. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
- 16:25Speaker 1: how you doing?
- 16:27Speaker 8: Good morning, Mark.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Yes, Mike.
- 16:30Speaker 9: I had a very odd name pop into my head
- 16:32Speaker 9: over the weekend. Jerry Gerard. Remember him?
- 16:35Speaker 1: Jerry Gerard. He was the Channel 11 sports guy, right?
- 16:40Speaker 9: He was a Channel 11 sports guy, and that brings
- 16:43Speaker 9: me to two points. One, I noticed you haven't had
- 16:45Speaker 9: Warner on in a while.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Oh, well, Warner's a regular on the morning show. He's
- 16:50Speaker 1: here on our morning show every week. We'll try to
- 16:53Speaker 1: have him on once in a while. He's always good.
- 16:55Speaker 9: And Kitee Tong had her last broadcast on PIX over
- 17:02Speaker 9: the weekend yesterday.
- 17:03Speaker 1: I guess. She's retiring, Kitee Tong. Very nice woman. Very nice.
- 17:07Speaker 9: I was her stage manager on occasions.
- 17:10Speaker 1: Oh, you were, you worked at channel 11.
- 17:12Speaker 8: Yes.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Oh, yep.
- 17:14Speaker 9: Larry met the stage manager on occasion.
- 17:16Speaker 1: All right, wait, I'm trying to remember. It was channel
- 17:19Speaker 1: 11 action news and it was Pat Harper, Steve Bosch, right?
- 17:25Speaker 3: Uh, that was before my time.
- 17:27Speaker 9: I was there when Tamsyn Fidel was on. I was
- 17:29Speaker 9: usually during either on the weekends or.
- 17:31Speaker 3: During the week, uh, on occasion.
- 17:34Speaker 9: But, um, Uh, so Tamsa Fidel was on a weekend and, uh,
- 17:39Speaker 9: I can't even remember now.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Nothing, nothing personal, but you can't compare.
- 17:44Speaker 6: It's not that long ago.
- 17:45Speaker 1: You can't compare Warner Wolf to Jerry Gerard. Warner Wolf
- 17:47Speaker 1: was like the biggest sportscaster in local TV. He was
- 17:50Speaker 1: like a giant, uh, Yes.
- 17:53Speaker 9: And Jerry was very low-key and very unconventional in his
- 17:59Speaker 9: approach to sportscasting.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Yeah, but you had the big Channel 4, Channel 2,
- 18:04Speaker 1: Channel 11, Channel 9. That was like nothing personal, but
- 18:07Speaker 1: that was like the roadshow kind of cast.
- 18:10Speaker 10: Oh, absolutely.
- 18:10Speaker 9: Warner was the superstar, without a doubt.
- 18:14Speaker 1: And who else was there? You had... Sal Marciano, right,
- 18:18Speaker 1: for a while on Channel 9?
- 18:20Speaker 5: Sal, yeah, I think Sal took over for, did.
- 18:23Speaker 9: Sal take over for Warner? Warner got fired at some point,
- 18:28Speaker 9: somewhere along the line, somewhere.
- 18:31Speaker 1: And then you got Marvin Scott, who's like 112 years old,
- 18:33Speaker 1: still doing something. Oh, God, Marvin Scott, my favorite.
- 18:41Speaker 9: I would fix his tie before he went on just
- 18:43Speaker 9: to distract him.
- 18:45Speaker 8: And then all of a.
- 18:45Speaker 9: Sudden he would be like, hey, I like this guy.
- 18:50Speaker 1: He was a very nice guy, though.
- 18:52Speaker 8: And Mr.
- 18:53Speaker 9: G would come by where I would sit with the
- 18:56Speaker 9: program for the night. You got a joke for me tonight?
- 19:01Speaker 9: I always had a joke for him.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Very nice guy, Mr. G. In fact, if you check
- 19:05Speaker 1: out Mr. G's Instagram, he does videos every day now.
- 19:08Speaker 3: Yeah. He was great.
- 19:10Speaker 1: All right.
- 19:11Speaker 3: Great guy.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Good call, Mike, as always. Thanks for calling. Yeah, Kitee Tong. Remember,
- 19:16Speaker 1: she was like a young junior starting at Channel 7
- 19:19Speaker 1: and a lot of time has gone by. Kitee Tong, retired.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Take a listen. But it's time to move on. You know,
- 19:27Speaker 1: I'm 80 years old now.
- 19:29Speaker 11: Nearly.
- 19:30Speaker 12: As you know, Shirley.
- 19:31Speaker 13: 80 years young.
- 19:34Speaker 1: I'm feeling it.
- 19:34Speaker 6: I'm tired.
- 19:37Speaker 1: And it's time to make room for the young bloods, right? Yeah,
- 19:40Speaker 1: all right. She's a very nice woman, Katie Tong. But
- 19:42Speaker 1: she looks great. Looks fine. I don't know. Maybe she
- 19:45Speaker 1: just wanted to get the hell out of there. It
- 19:48Speaker 1: is Channel 11 after all. But did she say what's next?
- 19:52Speaker 1: But it's time to move on. You know, I'm 80
- 19:55Speaker 1: years old. Move on. What does that mean? Is she
- 19:56Speaker 1: going to get another job? She's got something coming? You
- 19:58Speaker 1: never know. You never know. Hey, it's Mark Simone here.
- 20:02Speaker 1: 9 a.m. till noon. We're three hours now. 9 a.m.
- 20:05Speaker 1: till noon. every day. Then at noon, you got Buck
- 20:07Speaker 1: and Clay. That's a really good show every day at
- 20:09Speaker 1: 12 noon. And then three o'clock, you got the most
- 20:12Speaker 1: listened to radio show in America. Sean Hannity got Jesse
- 20:16Speaker 1: Kelly at six, the very funny Jimmy Fela every night,
- 20:19Speaker 1: nine to midnight, more of our special Labor Day holiday
- 20:22Speaker 1: show coming up healthy fast food. Well, it's become all
- 20:26Speaker 1: those salad places, sweet greens, chopped. All those salad places
- 20:31Speaker 1: are all over the place and they're great. And, uh,
- 20:34Speaker 1: Chopped is, you would think McDonald's would figure out how
- 20:37Speaker 1: to copy this, but those places, one reason it's so healthy,
- 20:41Speaker 1: a lot of lettuce in everything. It's called sweet greens.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Or the other ones, there's a lot of lettuce. Well,
- 20:47Speaker 1: with all that, whatever that disease is that's in the
- 20:50Speaker 1: lettuce that's making everybody sick has caused a huge drop
- 20:54Speaker 1: in sweet green sales, chopped sales, way down right now.
- 20:58Speaker 1: There's no reason for that. It's perfectly safe, but business
- 21:01Speaker 1: is way down. That's good for us. We can get
- 21:04Speaker 1: in faster. And let's take some calls. Let's go to
- 21:07Speaker 1: Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how you doing? This is how
- 21:15Speaker 1: the phones are in Pennsylvania. What'd you say? Yes. Oh,
- 21:25Speaker 1: I thought it was Joe Biden for a minute. What
- 21:29Speaker 1: do you want to say, Bill?
- 21:30Speaker 14: Oh, well, you know, I'm getting to be Joe Biden old.
- 21:33Speaker 5: You know, I'm checking my false teeth in the morning
- 21:35Speaker 5: to see if I ate dinner.
- 21:36Speaker 1: All right, check him again.
- 21:39Speaker 9: Okay, well, my question is, have you ever watched a
- 21:42Speaker 9: video of yourself after a few shooters where you're trying
- 21:44Speaker 9: to walk a straight line?
- 21:45Speaker 1: Ah, what the hell is he talking about? You mean
- 21:48Speaker 1: the cops pulled you over for drunk driving and you
- 21:50Speaker 1: had to walk a straight line?
- 21:52Speaker 14: Yeah, when you're in front of a critical audience, like
- 21:54Speaker 14: the car.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Well, most of us aren't getting pulled over for drunk driving,
- 21:57Speaker 1: but you, I could listen to you at nine in
- 21:59Speaker 1: the morning. Was it happy hour already?
- 22:01Speaker 13: Well, you know, it's Pacific time out here at six
- 22:05Speaker 13: in the morning.
- 22:06Speaker 1: It says Pennsylvania. Where are you now?
- 22:09Speaker 10: No, I'm in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry. I'll talk slower. So you were pulled
- 22:15Speaker 1: over for drunk driving?
- 22:17Speaker 13: No, I'm just saying I'm watching these YouTubes of Chinese
- 22:21Speaker 13: robots walking.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Yeah, talk to this guy like it's a normal conversation.
- 22:24Speaker 1: All right, Bill.
- 22:26Speaker 9: I'm watching a YouTube of a bunch of Chinese robots walking,
- 22:31Speaker 9: and that's what they walk like.
- 22:32Speaker 1: That's a great story. Anyway, thanks for slowing us up here.
- 22:35Speaker 1: Let's go to Dr. Bob in Long Island. Dr. Bob,
- 22:39Speaker 1: how are you doing?
- 22:41Speaker 13: Yes, good, Mark. I like the extra hour we get
- 22:43Speaker 13: to hear you.
- 22:44Speaker 8: It's great.
- 22:44Speaker 5: It's working out well.
- 22:46Speaker 13: I hope you get to enjoy it as time goes on.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Enjoy it.
- 22:49Speaker 5: It's more work.
- 22:49Speaker 1: I've got to get up an hour earlier, but the
- 22:52Speaker 1: audience wants it.
- 22:53Speaker 13: Yeah, but we appreciate you.
- 22:55Speaker 8: That's for sure.
- 22:56Speaker 13: Meanwhile, you've brought one of our favorite places, Mackinac Island
- 22:59Speaker 13: and the Grand Hotel.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Yeah, it's magnificent. It's not my kind of a vacation.
- 23:05Speaker 1: It's too quiet, but, you know.
- 23:07Speaker 13: Well, somewhere in time, there was a movie somewhere in
- 23:09Speaker 13: time with Christopher Reeve and Gene Seymour years ago with
- 23:13Speaker 13: some fabulous music, and they play it throughout. The hotel,
- 23:16Speaker 13: the Grant Hotel, it's really like going back in time
- 23:21Speaker 13: 100 years.
- 23:21Speaker 10: It's a fabulous place.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Well, I hate to break it. Even more than that,
- 23:24Speaker 1: it's like 140 years. It's a magnificent old hotel. It
- 23:29Speaker 1: is as grand as the name implies. Who was the
- 23:31Speaker 1: great decorator? Carlton Varney decorated the whole place. It's beautiful.
- 23:36Speaker 12: Right, that's right.
- 23:37Speaker 13: Wow, you know your stuff. Also, the PSA should have
- 23:41Speaker 13: been done on Biden Day.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, you're a great doctor. You're a top doctor
- 23:45Speaker 1: in a top hospital. This explanation that over 70 you
- 23:48Speaker 1: don't do PSA tests every year, that's crazy, isn't it?
- 23:51Speaker 13: Well, there was some indication that reduction in mammograms and
- 23:58Speaker 13: PSAs and everything was indicated, but the medical societies for
- 24:02Speaker 13: these specialty tests countervene with that. They said that should
- 24:06Speaker 13: not be followed. You should have testing done on a
- 24:08Speaker 13: regular basis and not shortcut things.
- 24:11Speaker 1: Yeah, but let me ask you something. Sometimes the, what
- 24:13Speaker 1: is that, colonoscopy, you know, every five years. Now they're
- 24:16Speaker 1: telling some people every 10 years where they're saying you
- 24:19Speaker 1: don't need a PSA test after 70. Is that the
- 24:21Speaker 1: bean counters doing that to save some money?
- 24:23Speaker 13: It seems to be. It seems to be a good
- 24:27Speaker 13: question for my buddy, Dr. Oz, because there's a lot
- 24:30Speaker 13: of indication that people's screening tests Tests have been decreased
- 24:35Speaker 13: in frequency as people get older, but that's not the case.
- 24:38Speaker 13: It should be maintained throughout. You know, the life expectancy
- 24:42Speaker 13: is up in the 80s right now. It used to
- 24:45Speaker 13: be 10 years less just a few years ago.
- 24:48Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 24:49Speaker 1: All right. Well, thanks, Dr.
- 24:50Speaker 3: Bob.
- 24:50Speaker 1: He's an expert, a great doctor. It's good to get
- 24:52Speaker 1: an expert opinion on that. So Biden was wrong to
- 24:54Speaker 1: not keep getting those screenings. And it's hard to believe
- 24:58Speaker 1: that he's in the White House. Those White House doctors
- 25:00Speaker 1: are so thorough that they wouldn't do a prostate exam
- 25:02Speaker 1: in Prostate exam every year. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
- 25:07Speaker 1: how you doing? Good morning, Mark. Yes, Mike.
- 25:10Speaker 9: It appears the Democrats were trotting out their 2028 presidential
- 25:15Speaker 9: team this weekend with El.
- 25:18Speaker 1: Sayed and Cortez. A little terrifying prospect. That's a good point.
- 25:25Speaker 1: I never thought. You're on a regular phone. You're not
- 25:27Speaker 1: in a car right now. Yes, I'm not driving at
- 25:29Speaker 1: the moment. First time ever. What, it's one day in Florida?
- 25:31Speaker 1: You don't have to go anywhere? No. Yeah, I don't
- 25:34Speaker 1: know what happened. Let's go to Peter in New Jersey. Peter,
- 25:37Speaker 1: how are you doing?
- 25:39Speaker 8: I'm good, Mark. Thanks for taking the call. Hey, Mark,
- 25:42Speaker 8: do you know if the administration is doing anything about
- 25:46Speaker 8: the ideology of the Muslim movement around the country? Dealing
- 25:55Speaker 8: with that in any way, shape, or form?
- 25:57Speaker 1: Which movement? Muslim.
- 26:01Speaker 10: Oh.
- 26:01Speaker 8: Sharia law.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Nobody's proposing Sharia law yet. But the one thing they're
- 26:07Speaker 1: doing about it is getting just worried about the crazy
- 26:10Speaker 1: communist socialists, the crazy Al-Sayeds and stopping them. It looks
- 26:14Speaker 1: like J.D. Vance has been put in charge of stopping
- 26:18Speaker 1: Al-Sayed in Michigan. He's the one speaking out. He's the
- 26:21Speaker 1: one going there. Now, the reason for that would be J.D.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Vance from Ohio, Ohio, Michigan. It's all kind of the
- 26:28Speaker 1: same place. Oh, there's a rivalry between the Wolverines and
- 26:31Speaker 1: the Buckeyes. But he can speak the language, the Ohio-Michigan language,
- 26:37Speaker 1: so they got him there. And he's a pretty good
- 26:40Speaker 1: attack dog, so he'll be going after El-Sayed like crazy.
- 26:43Speaker 1: They got to stop this guy. Now, it's not just
- 26:45Speaker 1: a case of stopping the socialism, communism, wacko. Michigan, it's
- 26:51Speaker 1: a Democratic Senate seat currently. It's a Democratic seat, but
- 26:54Speaker 1: the Democratic senator is retiring today. So it becomes an
- 26:58Speaker 1: open seat. If the Republican Rogers can win, Democrats pick
- 27:02Speaker 1: up a seat in the Senate. And that would make
- 27:05Speaker 1: it almost impossible for Democrats to win the Senate. So
- 27:09Speaker 1: it's an important, important race. Hey, we got a lot
- 27:12Speaker 1: more coming. It's our special holiday show. Don't go away.
- 27:15Speaker 1: There's a lot more just ahead. He's suddenly out and
- 27:18Speaker 1: about in all kinds of swanky places. We'll see if
- 27:20Speaker 1: we can figure out what that's all about. He's also
- 27:23Speaker 1: talking about... housing and slumlords. And does he forget that
- 27:29Speaker 1: he personally is the biggest slumlord in New York City?
- 27:33Speaker 1: He's actually literally a slumlord with his NYCHA housing, New
- 27:37Speaker 1: York City Housing Authority. NYCHA houses are just terrible. And
- 27:42Speaker 1: if Mamdani had any real sense or was an honest guy,
- 27:47Speaker 1: he'd start to realize these NYCHA houses are the worst slums.
- 27:51Speaker 1: You got to tear them down. Or you got to
- 27:53Speaker 1: just gut them and rebuild them. Now, many people have said,
- 27:58Speaker 1: if you really want to fix these housing projects, talk
- 28:04Speaker 1: to Donald Trump. He's the best in the world at this.
- 28:07Speaker 1: If you need to gut them and rebuild them. Now,
- 28:09Speaker 1: if the government does it, it could take 10 years
- 28:11Speaker 1: to do one building. If somebody like the Trump Organization
- 28:15Speaker 1: or any professionals do it, it'll take six months. You
- 28:19Speaker 1: could have them all done real fast. So if he
- 28:21Speaker 1: were an honest guy, he would ask President Trump, could
- 28:25Speaker 1: you have the Trump organization do it? Let's test it out.
- 28:28Speaker 1: Let's do a building, rebuild it so it's not a slum,
- 28:31Speaker 1: so everything's working properly, good electricity, heat, air conditioning, all
- 28:35Speaker 1: that stuff. But he won't do it. Harry and Meghan,
- 28:37Speaker 1: their California dreamin' is over. It's all over for them
- 28:42Speaker 1: in California. They're totally washed up, can't get a job,
- 28:45Speaker 1: can't do anything. You know, they had to Started with
- 28:47Speaker 1: that big Netflix deal. Ooh, they got a lot of money.
- 28:50Speaker 1: A big Netflix deal, multi-year. Netflix did a documentary. It
- 28:54Speaker 1: got big ratings and a big multi-year deal. Well, after
- 28:58Speaker 1: that first big ratings documentary, everything else they tried was
- 29:01Speaker 1: a total bomb. Nobody watched it. Netflix finally canceled the agreement.
- 29:06Speaker 1: They got out of the contract. Same thing happened with Spotify. Ooh,
- 29:10Speaker 1: a lot of money to do. Whatever they did first,
- 29:13Speaker 1: it did okay. Then it just petered out and then nothing.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Spotify had to fire them. So they've been fired from
- 29:19Speaker 1: every job they've had. Everything. Nobody had any interest in them.
- 29:24Speaker 1: The last couple of years, they tried to get something
- 29:26Speaker 1: else going. They tried and tried and tried. Nobody will
- 29:28Speaker 1: give them a penny. Nobody will hire them. You know,
- 29:30Speaker 1: after two, three years of this. And nobody will give
- 29:34Speaker 1: you one penny for anything. Nobody will put you on
- 29:37Speaker 1: TV anymore. Nobody will pay any attention. to you. What
- 29:40Speaker 1: do you do? I guess you got to just give
- 29:42Speaker 1: up and leave. So that's why they're going back to England.
- 29:47Speaker 1: They say that, well, they spent a long vacation in
- 29:52Speaker 1: the UK and enjoyed it so much they've decided to
- 29:55Speaker 1: go back. They want to have their children spend more
- 29:57Speaker 1: time in the country that's an important part of the
- 30:00Speaker 1: family's story. Well, actually, they just can't get anything going
- 30:03Speaker 1: here in the United States. So they figure back there,
- 30:06Speaker 1: maybe somebody will be interested. The royal family has totally
- 30:09Speaker 1: cut them off, ostracized them. They will not be part
- 30:12Speaker 1: of the royal family. So they announced they're going to
- 30:15Speaker 1: be Private Royals Plus. They're not royals. They're not in
- 30:21Speaker 1: the royal family. So they made up a whole fake title.
- 30:23Speaker 1: They're Private Royals Plus. It's Harry's fault if he had
- 30:27Speaker 1: married a very famous American actress, you know, like Prince Rainier.
- 30:32Speaker 1: He married Grace Kelly, who was a major, major, major
- 30:36Speaker 1: movie star in 1956 or whatever it was. She was
- 30:39Speaker 1: like the biggest movie star in America, female. But Harry,
- 30:44Speaker 1: you married somebody who's like 15th billing in suits from
- 30:48Speaker 1: 12 years ago. I mean, it's a very minor character.
- 30:51Speaker 1: More of our special Labor Day holiday show coming up.
- 30:55Speaker 1: Even Governor Abbott. of Texas is starting to back off
- 31:00Speaker 1: on these AI centers. You know, he let them, now
- 31:02Speaker 1: one thing about these AI centers, they'll bring a fortune
- 31:05Speaker 1: to your state. They'll bring you money. They'll lower taxes.
- 31:09Speaker 1: They'll bring you jobs, construction. So Abbott was all for it.
- 31:13Speaker 1: He let the data centers open all over the place. Now,
- 31:16Speaker 1: now he's changing it. Now he's saying you got to stop. Well,
- 31:19Speaker 1: one reason he wanted data from them. He wanted them
- 31:22Speaker 1: to supply data. How much electricity are you using? How
- 31:25Speaker 1: much water are you using? And they wouldn't supply the data.
- 31:28Speaker 1: So he's changing his tune.
- 31:29Speaker 16: I am now coming in as governor saying, listen, if
- 31:32Speaker 16: you're a data center and you want to operate in Texas,
- 31:34Speaker 16: you have to first get the approval of those in
- 31:37Speaker 16: local communities. And that's why I set that standard. No
- 31:41Speaker 16: data centers disturbing local communities in Texas.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's a big change. Eight months ago, he
- 31:47Speaker 1: was waving them in. Now he's saying we got to
- 31:50Speaker 1: we got to know more before you can come here.
- 31:52Speaker 16: They had not been working in collaboration with the state.
- 31:54Speaker 16: They've not been working in collaboration with local governments. And
- 31:57Speaker 16: so they basically dug their own grave for the problem
- 32:00Speaker 16: that's been caused for them. And that's why they got
- 32:02Speaker 16: the backlash they deserve. And that's why these new standards
- 32:05Speaker 16: are in place to make sure they're not going to
- 32:07Speaker 16: be able to operate until they come into compliance with
- 32:10Speaker 16: the standards that I have set.
- 32:11Speaker 1: OK, big change of tune from Governor Abbott. Now, you
- 32:15Speaker 1: got problems with the here's the problems with the data center. One,
- 32:18Speaker 1: it uses so much electricity. drains the electricity from the town. Well, okay,
- 32:24Speaker 1: that problem you can solve. That can be solved. They
- 32:27Speaker 1: can start to produce their own electricity. And they have
- 32:31Speaker 1: a lot of times extra electricity. They can give it
- 32:33Speaker 1: back to the grid. The other problem is they use
- 32:36Speaker 1: so much water for cooling. They use so much water,
- 32:40Speaker 1: use up the water supply. Well, they've figured out the
- 32:44Speaker 1: solution to that is they'll just use a little water
- 32:46Speaker 1: and just keep recycling it in the data center. The
- 32:50Speaker 1: other problem is the noise. That's a problem. They are very,
- 32:53Speaker 1: very noisy. So like the one in Virginia is right
- 32:58Speaker 1: next to Dulles Airport, which is already noisy. So that's
- 33:02Speaker 1: a pretty good idea. You can't complain about the noise
- 33:04Speaker 1: when you're living next to an airport anyway. So you
- 33:07Speaker 1: got to just figure out where to put them. The
- 33:10Speaker 1: noise goes for about a half mile and really about
- 33:13Speaker 1: a mile. So if you put them somewhere where they're
- 33:16Speaker 1: a mile away from residential places, you're But even the president,
- 33:21Speaker 1: who was all for these data centers, now he's putting
- 33:23Speaker 1: a little disclaimer in there about the, listen, there's a
- 33:26Speaker 1: little disclaimer, but you got to be careful where you
- 33:28Speaker 1: put it.
- 33:28Speaker 17: If you pick the right location, and it's got to be,
- 33:31Speaker 17: not every location is perfect for it, but you pick
- 33:34Speaker 17: the right location, what it means for a community is
- 33:37Speaker 17: jobs and lots of money and lower taxes. And the
- 33:41Speaker 17: data centers now are mandated by me that they build
- 33:44Speaker 17: their own electricity, so they're not taking it for the grid.
- 33:47Speaker 1: All right, that's good. The electricity problem is solved. Water
- 33:49Speaker 1: problem is easy to solve. But this is the first
- 33:51Speaker 1: time he's actually said you can't just put them anywhere. Actually,
- 33:56Speaker 1: for the first time.
- 33:57Speaker 17: If you pick the right location, and it's got to
- 33:59Speaker 17: be not every location is perfect for it.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Okay, so that's the difference. You've got to find the
- 34:03Speaker 1: right location. Now, what is this noise problem? How noisy
- 34:07Speaker 1: are these data centers? Well, here's the reason for all
- 34:10Speaker 1: the noise. A data center is thousands, thousands of powerful
- 34:15Speaker 1: computer servers. And they're running 24-7. They never stop. And
- 34:20Speaker 1: because of that, they generate massive amounts of heat. And
- 34:26Speaker 1: that requires heavy industrial cooling and power equipment to prevent meltdowns.
- 34:32Speaker 1: You have to keep getting rid of that heat. You
- 34:33Speaker 1: have to keep cooling them down. That's where the noise
- 34:36Speaker 1: comes from. So thousands of small internal fans spin at
- 34:42Speaker 1: very high speeds inside the server racks. And it creates
- 34:45Speaker 1: a high-pitched whine or a loud hum up to 90 decibels.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Then you have to have massive diesel or gas turbine generators,
- 34:56Speaker 1: and they test regularly. They kick on during power cuts,
- 35:00Speaker 1: and they produce a heavy rumble up to 110 decibels.
- 35:04Speaker 1: Then you got large mechanical fans and compressors. They admit
- 35:08Speaker 1: low frequency noise and vibrations that travel thousands of feet
- 35:13Speaker 1: further than normal high-pitched city sounds and easily can pass
- 35:18Speaker 1: through walls and trees. So that's the problem. Now this
- 35:22Speaker 1: noise is really bad up to 1500 feet away, about
- 35:26Speaker 1: a half a mile. It's really bad. It's not so
- 35:30Speaker 1: bad up to a mile away, but it's still there.
- 35:32Speaker 1: You get a low frequency hum that you can hear
- 35:35Speaker 1: a mile away. So half a mile away, you just
- 35:38Speaker 1: can't be living there. A mile away is fine. So
- 35:41Speaker 1: you gotta find a place where they're a mile away
- 35:43Speaker 1: from any residential neighborhood. They also, they do produce low-level
- 35:48Speaker 1: non-ionizing electromagnetic fields. Now, scientists say that's not a problem
- 35:54Speaker 1: because you get the same thing from common office equipment.
- 35:58Speaker 1: They do pose a little health risk, primarily through air pollution,
- 36:03Speaker 1: because they got those big backup diesel generators. So that
- 36:06Speaker 1: can cause a little pollution. The biggest data center right now, Meta,
- 36:10Speaker 1: owns the largest data center, 4.5 million square feet. That's
- 36:16Speaker 1: in Pineville, Oregon. But that's one facility. That's the largest
- 36:21Speaker 1: single facility. But by total combined facilities, the biggest data
- 36:26Speaker 1: center user, Amazon. Largest overall operator, Amazon. And Elon Musk
- 36:32Speaker 1: is about to build the largest data center in the world.
- 36:35Speaker 1: In fact, when he builds it, it'll be the largest
- 36:38Speaker 1: building ever in the history of the world. Something like
- 36:41Speaker 1: 40 million square feet. It's absolutely crazy. Hey, those weight
- 36:46Speaker 1: loss drugs, you know, the Ozempic and what's the other one?
- 36:49Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of them. Wagovi and there's the
- 36:53Speaker 1: one with the Z-Zinpac or whatever that is. That's a
- 36:58Speaker 1: better one too, everybody says. But how many people take those?
- 37:02Speaker 1: You know, everybody you know is suddenly losing weight. Now,
- 37:04Speaker 1: sometimes you see somebody, oh, you lost some weight. You
- 37:07Speaker 1: can tell they were working out, they went on a diet.
- 37:09Speaker 1: But sometimes they lose too much weight and they keep
- 37:12Speaker 1: losing and losing and losing and losing. So you know
- 37:14Speaker 1: they're on those shots. And sometimes you see people who look, wow,
- 37:19Speaker 1: they look great on that shirt. Look how much weight
- 37:20Speaker 1: they lost. But then they keep using it, and then
- 37:23Speaker 1: they lose even more weight, and they start to look bad.
- 37:27Speaker 1: You know what I'm telling you. You've got friends like that.
- 37:29Speaker 1: They start looking too thin, too bad. Their face is sagging.
- 37:32Speaker 1: But how many people altogether are taking those shots in America?
- 37:35Speaker 1: How many? How many takes even? It was 3% two
- 37:43Speaker 1: years ago. It used to be 3%. How many are
- 37:45Speaker 1: taking them now? It's 11%. 11%. That's a lot of
- 37:50Speaker 1: people in America. It was 3%. It's now 11% on
- 37:54Speaker 1: those weight loss drugs. It's affecting a lot of things,
- 37:57Speaker 1: especially the restaurant business. People are ordering less. You know,
- 38:00Speaker 1: you get two people, a couple on Ozempic. Now they
- 38:04Speaker 1: order one entree and that's it. They split it because
- 38:07Speaker 1: they can't eat a whole one. Some restaurants are putting
- 38:10Speaker 1: together Ozempic menus where they give you a little small portion.
- 38:13Speaker 1: It's a problem for bars because, you know, it affects
- 38:16Speaker 1: your appetite, not only for food, but for alcohol. So
- 38:19Speaker 1: when you're on Ozempic stuff, you can't drink as much.
- 38:22Speaker 1: So some restaurants, bars now putting out Ozempic drinks because
- 38:27Speaker 1: people can barely, you know, drink a drink. So they,
- 38:30Speaker 1: they put these, it's like a lot, like every drinks
- 38:32Speaker 1: in a shot glass, mini martinis, that sort of stuff.
- 38:35Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, she's back. She's all over the place. She
- 38:39Speaker 1: wants this nomination. She's a, Again, she's the old woman
- 38:44Speaker 1: in Sunset Boulevard thinking she can make a comeback. It's
- 38:47Speaker 1: a sad, sad political story, Hillary Clinton. She's the first lady.
- 38:51Speaker 1: She's the senator. She's the secretary of state. She screws
- 38:55Speaker 1: up everything she touches, but she thinks she can win.
- 38:58Speaker 1: So she finally, her moment comes, 2016. This is her moment.
- 39:02Speaker 1: She runs for president. Donald Trump, a total amateur, never
- 39:08Speaker 1: been in politics, takes it away from her. And remember
- 39:11Speaker 1: the last time she ran, for the nomination, Barack Obama,
- 39:17Speaker 1: a guy with no experience. The guy was a Senator
- 39:19Speaker 1: for five minutes before that. He was a community organized,
- 39:22Speaker 1: no resume, wiped her out, wiped her out, took the
- 39:26Speaker 1: nomination from her. So it's a sad story. So she
- 39:29Speaker 1: sits up there in chappaqua and alone in that big
- 39:33Speaker 1: house drinking and like the old woman in sunset boulevard
- 39:37Speaker 1: plotting that comeback so now she's doing a lot of
- 39:40Speaker 1: tv shows and she's trying to show that she can
- 39:43Speaker 1: go after donald trump you want a trump basher you
- 39:46Speaker 1: want somebody to stop trump why that's me well everybody
- 39:49Speaker 1: remembers 2016, you got wiped out in three debates. You
- 39:52Speaker 1: were the worst at stopping him. In fact, it's because
- 39:55Speaker 1: of you, he's president, because you couldn't stop him. So
- 39:58Speaker 1: she's going after everything. You know, Trump wants to build
- 40:00Speaker 1: things in Washington, the ballroom, the arch. That arch would
- 40:04Speaker 1: look like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Magnificent. You know,
- 40:09Speaker 1: where all the boulevards come together. It's beautiful. So it's
- 40:12Speaker 1: a nice idea to have one in Washington. It's nothing
- 40:14Speaker 1: to do with Trump. It would just be a beautiful...
- 40:16Speaker 1: Another beautiful monument in Washington. But there she is going
- 40:19Speaker 1: after that. She's running around doing every podcast, every show,
- 40:22Speaker 1: every this.
- 40:23Speaker 4: I think they'll have to be some probably have to
- 40:27Speaker 4: take down the arch, which she is determined to put up,
- 40:31Speaker 4: which I think is just just a terrible idea. I
- 40:34Speaker 4: think we'll have to worry about the reflecting pool because
- 40:38Speaker 4: it's not going to be fixed by the time he leaves.
- 40:40Speaker 1: It'll be fine. So that's she's admitting when a Democrat,
- 40:44Speaker 1: if if. If a Democrat ever takes office, he's going
- 40:47Speaker 1: to start tearing down things, tear down the arch, tear
- 40:50Speaker 1: down the ballroom, all of this. But here's this woman.
- 40:53Speaker 1: I don't know who else you think she's talking to anymore.
- 40:56Speaker 4: It's sad that it's so tackied up and it is
- 41:01Speaker 4: it's a reflection of, you know, his narcissistic personality and
- 41:06Speaker 4: his need to feel important, including sticking gold embellishments.
- 41:13Speaker 5: All over the walls of the Oval Office.
- 41:16Speaker 1: Well, she's not entirely wrong on that. I like what
- 41:19Speaker 1: he did, putting some gold in the office, a little
- 41:22Speaker 1: trim there. But he did put a little too much.
- 41:27Speaker 1: It's a little too much. It looks like that queen
- 41:30Speaker 1: of Versailles, that woman in Boca Raton who over-decorates her house.
- 41:33Speaker 1: It looks a little like that. And it's nice to
- 41:36Speaker 1: put those beautiful old paintings of the president up on
- 41:39Speaker 1: the walls. But maybe five or six, not 150 of them.
- 41:44Speaker 1: Not every inch of the wall. So she may have
- 41:46Speaker 1: a point there. But every president comes in, changes the
- 41:50Speaker 1: Oval Office. They repaint it. They change the carpet, the curtains.
- 41:53Speaker 1: Sometimes they change the desk. So you're going to have
- 41:58Speaker 1: to remove some of that gold. She's not wrong about
- 42:00Speaker 1: that one. But she thinks it's kind of sad that
- 42:04Speaker 1: he has an ego, like he's trying to feel important. Well,
- 42:08Speaker 1: first of all, he's literally... The most important man in
- 42:12Speaker 1: the world, literally. He's the biggest guy in the world.
- 42:14Speaker 1: He's the most famous man on earth, literally. So you
- 42:19Speaker 1: don't really have to worry about feeling important. Second of all,
- 42:23Speaker 1: talk about trying to feel important. Look at her running
- 42:25Speaker 1: around pontificating about everything. You know, Trump's got a problem
- 42:29Speaker 1: coming up. I don't know if he's ever thought about this.
- 42:32Speaker 1: He was a real estate developer. They did a lot
- 42:35Speaker 1: of stuff, Brooklyn Queens. Comes to Manhattan, conquers Manhattan, becomes president.
- 42:40Speaker 1: A bit of a famous guy becomes famous. Then he
- 42:43Speaker 1: becomes more famous. Then he just kept rising and rising
- 42:47Speaker 1: and rising until he became like the most famous business
- 42:50Speaker 1: guy in America. Then he gets a TV show and
- 42:55Speaker 1: he becomes the number one show on television. He conquers TV.
- 42:59Speaker 1: He builds apartment buildings all over the biggest apartment buildings
- 43:03Speaker 1: all over the place. Then he decides he'll build golf
- 43:05Speaker 1: courses and hotels. which he hadn't done before, but he
- 43:09Speaker 1: starts doing it. All of a sudden, he's got a
- 43:11Speaker 1: million success. He's a big success in the hotel world,
- 43:15Speaker 1: big success in the golf world. Then he decides to
- 43:18Speaker 1: go into politics. He gets elected president of the United States.
- 43:23Speaker 1: That's pretty impressive. You ever see an amateur try to
- 43:26Speaker 1: run for, I'll run for mayor, a total amateur, or
- 43:29Speaker 1: run for Congress. Well, once in a while they make it.
- 43:32Speaker 1: But a total amateur, first attempt at anything, runs for
- 43:34Speaker 1: president and wins. Then he wins again, second time president.
- 43:38Speaker 1: Now he's the biggest guy on earth, but he's a
- 43:40Speaker 1: guy who always keeps rising to the next level, always
- 43:44Speaker 1: achieving the next thing, always climbing. So the problem now
- 43:48Speaker 1: is what does he do next? He's done. I don't
- 43:50Speaker 1: know if he realizes it. There's nowhere else to go
- 43:53Speaker 1: after this. You can't get any bigger than this. It's
- 43:57Speaker 1: pretty much, it's it. There's nothing else he can do.
- 44:00Speaker 1: I don't know if he's thought about that, but knowing him,
- 44:02Speaker 1: he'll think of something that nobody ever thought of. No
- 44:06Speaker 1: ex-president ever thought of. You know, there's another party that's
- 44:09Speaker 1: been formed now. Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, remember her?
- 44:14Speaker 1: And a bunch of those types have formed a new party.
- 44:17Speaker 1: They are anti-MAGA or whatever they are. They're not Republicans,
- 44:22Speaker 1: but they're going to form their own party now. And
- 44:24Speaker 1: this is good for Republicans because it takes a lot
- 44:27Speaker 1: of the wackos and extremists out of the party and
- 44:30Speaker 1: puts them into this thing. And their whole theme is
- 44:32Speaker 1: the president promised no new wars. Well, he never promised
- 44:36Speaker 1: anything of the sort. Never said that. If you go
- 44:39Speaker 1: back and go through all the campaign speeches, there are
- 44:41Speaker 1: times where he said no more stupid wars. He said
- 44:44Speaker 1: no more endless wars. No, he never made a promise
- 44:47Speaker 1: there'd be no new wars. I mean, obviously, nobody in
- 44:51Speaker 1: their right mind, it wouldn't be rational for a president
- 44:53Speaker 1: to promise that there are times you might need to
- 44:56Speaker 1: go to a war. And why would he care? He
- 44:58Speaker 1: was pushing for a stronger military, more weapons, more this,
- 45:02Speaker 1: more that. Obviously, you want to be ready. And if
- 45:05Speaker 1: you study interviews with Donald Trump going back 40 years,
- 45:10Speaker 1: for 40 years he's been talking about going after Iran
- 45:12Speaker 1: and removing that regime. For 40 years he's been talking
- 45:16Speaker 1: about that. He has not ever promised no new wars.
- 45:20Speaker 1: But it's good to have this. This party will get
- 45:22Speaker 1: the wackos out of the party. It'll become like the...
- 45:26Speaker 1: Alex Jones sort of party. Hey, we got a lot
- 45:28Speaker 1: more coming. It's our special holiday show. Don't go away.
- 45:31Speaker 1: There's a lot more just ahead. Jack, how you doing?
- 45:34Speaker 10: Mark, we want you on for 24 hours a day.
- 45:38Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait. Hang on, hang on. Does this guy
- 45:40Speaker 1: sound like he's from Providence? He's got a little New York-ish.
- 45:44Speaker 1: Where are you from, really?
- 45:46Speaker 10: I'm originally from the Bronx, so we moved up to
- 45:48Speaker 10: Rhode Island because, you know, the Bronx got a little...
- 45:51Speaker 10: There's no malls in the Bronx. There's one they built
- 45:54Speaker 10: that they finally built.
- 45:55Speaker 6: Anyway... Where are you in Providence?
- 45:58Speaker 1: Right in the city?
- 45:59Speaker 10: I'm on the south side. That's my home, Brown University. But, listen,
- 46:04Speaker 10: it's a little less a pace of life up there,
- 46:07Speaker 10: you know. I still miss the Bronx and New York City.
- 46:10Speaker 10: But the thing is, Mark, we have to stop legal immigration.
- 46:14Speaker 10: We're letting a million and a half third-worlders in every
- 46:16Speaker 10: single year, 100 million total over 50, 60 years, and
- 46:20Speaker 10: people are scratching their heads why this is a third-world country.
- 46:23Speaker 10: We have a colony in China. The top communist leaders.
- 46:27Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. What are you so
- 46:28Speaker 1: upset about? Calm down. Do you understand these people? As
- 46:32Speaker 1: soon as they wake up... We have to stop. I
- 46:37Speaker 1: don't think he's from Providence. I don't think so. Let's
- 46:40Speaker 1: go to Randall in Maryland. Randall, how you doing?
- 46:44Speaker 6: Hi, Mark. Mark, in the old days, you were a
- 46:48Speaker 6: celebrity because you were somebody special. Now you're something special
- 46:53Speaker 6: because you're a celebrity.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Well, it's a lot of buttering up. I mean, it's
- 46:57Speaker 1: very flattering. I don't know what all this buttering up
- 46:59Speaker 1: is about, but I hear a but coming. What's the but?
- 47:04Speaker 14: Well, no, I'm talking about.
- 47:05Speaker 1: That is a butt coming.
- 47:06Speaker 6: No, it's not.
- 47:10Speaker 3: Be nice.
- 47:11Speaker 14: Meghan and Harry, you don't have to worry about them.
- 47:14Speaker 1: They're celebrities.
- 47:15Speaker 14: They're stock and trade.
- 47:17Speaker 6: Just like your mayor and my governor.
- 47:19Speaker 1: No, Meghan and Harry are two of the most useless idiots,
- 47:22Speaker 1: two of the most annoying people on Earth.
- 47:25Speaker 14: I agree.
- 47:26Speaker 5: I agree.
- 47:27Speaker 6: But why are they so important?
- 47:30Speaker 1: Anyway, thanks for... What is he talking about? Who said
- 47:33Speaker 1: they were important? We like to make fun of them.
- 47:35Speaker 1: They're just nice to make fun of. Obviously they're not important.
- 47:38Speaker 1: Otherwise they'd get a job. Let's go to Ralph in Manhattan. Ralph,
- 47:41Speaker 1: how you doing? Mark, you made a, you made a stack.
- 47:45Speaker 5: Sorry.
- 47:45Speaker 1: We don't, we don't like people with deeper voices than me.
- 47:49Speaker 1: I try to, I try to do soprano. Oh, did
- 47:52Speaker 1: you used to be on the radio or something? You
- 47:54Speaker 1: sound great. You were a big radio voice. Oh, I
- 47:56Speaker 1: appreciate that.
- 47:57Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 47:58Speaker 1: I do a little radio, but there's the, um, I
- 48:01Speaker 1: appreciate that.
- 48:02Speaker 3: The, uh, You know, 17%, you're talking about a huge,
- 48:06Speaker 3: huge number. Every time I walk down the street, Manhattan,
- 48:10Speaker 3: 9th Avenue, wherever I am, I can't get away from
- 48:13Speaker 3: the pot. There's nowhere that they won't smoke. They smoke constantly, constantly, constantly.
- 48:19Speaker 3: But I would say I make one plea, Mark.
- 48:21Speaker 1: Let me just say, I think the 17% is a
- 48:22Speaker 1: national figure. In Manhattan, it might be 75%. But if
- 48:27Speaker 1: you're walking around Garden City, Long Island, it's probably 0%.
- 48:33Speaker 1: You got it. You got it.
- 48:35Speaker 3: The one plea that I would say, just if you're
- 48:37Speaker 3: going to smoke your pot, just smoke in the privacy
- 48:39Speaker 3: of your own home. Just do it. Don't put it
- 48:41Speaker 3: on me. I'm out there trying to exercise at 6 o'clock.
- 48:44Speaker 3: At 6 o'clock in the morning, Mark, it's fascinating. When
- 48:48Speaker 3: we have breakfast, they're smoking pot.
- 48:50Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
- 48:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 48:52Speaker 1: No, it's a good point. You know, I got allergies.
- 48:55Speaker 1: I can't smell. I really can't smell anything when I
- 48:58Speaker 1: go out there. So I'm fine. I'm walking down the
- 48:59Speaker 1: street enjoying myself. Whoever I'm with is going, oh, my God,
- 49:01Speaker 1: the smell. It's like this allergy is the best thing
- 49:04Speaker 1: you're going to have. You don't smell anything in New York.
- 49:06Speaker 1: Let's go to Richard in Bayshore. Richard, how are you doing?
- 49:10Speaker 1: I'm doing well.
- 49:11Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 49:11Speaker 10: I heard this morning that Larry Menthe and Curtis had
- 49:14Speaker 10: pulled ahead of Sid in the Morning in the ratings.
- 49:18Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 49:19Speaker 11: I don't.
- 49:20Speaker 3: True.
- 49:21Speaker 1: They're pretty even. It's always very close.
- 49:24Speaker 14: Did your getting the extra hour have anything to do
- 49:25Speaker 14: with that?
- 49:26Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know what
- 49:28Speaker 1: it is? Everybody's lying about their ratings everywhere. I mean,
- 49:32Speaker 1: I've heard guys give out fake numbers, a 7.4 to
- 49:35Speaker 1: a 1.4. It's absolutely not true. There's no such number.
- 49:39Speaker 10: So.
- 49:40Speaker 1: If one side's going to make up numbers, the other
- 49:41Speaker 1: side makes up numbers. You'll notice I never say a
- 49:45Speaker 1: word because I don't have to make up numbers. But both, listen,
- 49:49Speaker 1: there's a couple of morning shows. They're both great. They
- 49:51Speaker 1: both do very, very well. And it's a nice business.
- 49:55Speaker 1: It's a fun radio business. It's a big community. No
- 49:59Speaker 1: reason to fight with everybody. Oh, let's go to Chris,
- 50:03Speaker 1: Beth Page. Chris, how you doing?
- 50:06Speaker 11: Hey, Mark, I think you should personally hire me to
- 50:09Speaker 11: screen calls because that first guy from Providence was Steve
- 50:11Speaker 11: from Manhattan.
- 50:12Speaker 6: I know that guy anyway. Yeah. The Gold Butane guy.
- 50:15Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 50:15Speaker 6: You know what's funny?
- 50:17Speaker 1: They always try to lie and they say, I'm calling
- 50:19Speaker 1: you from Idaho. But when the guy calls, he goes,
- 50:22Speaker 1: how are you with that accent? Like you're not going
- 50:25Speaker 1: to spot him.
- 50:27Speaker 8: I know.
- 50:28Speaker 3: I know.
- 50:28Speaker 11: Hey, the reason why I did call Mark was because
- 50:30Speaker 11: I want to agree with What you guys were saying
- 50:34Speaker 11: before about Mandami, you don't think he's, you know, he's
- 50:37Speaker 11: going to be relatively harmless. But Bruce Blakeman, I would
- 50:41Speaker 11: be out there 24-7. You've got to campaign against Mandami.
- 50:45Speaker 5: That's the key.
- 50:46Speaker 6: That's the key to him getting elected.
- 50:47Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he does. He does do that. He does
- 50:50Speaker 1: do that.
- 50:51Speaker 11: Yep.
- 50:51Speaker 1: Yeah, he is campaigning 24-7. He is always, always, always
- 50:55Speaker 1: bashing Hochul and tying her to Mamdani. And it's a
- 50:59Speaker 1: good thing to do.
- 50:59Speaker 12: You're right.
- 51:00Speaker 1: Hey, we got a lot more coming up. Of course,
- 51:01Speaker 1: follow her on Twitter. And Substack. Sign up for Substack.
- 51:05Speaker 1: You can get interviews and podcasts and videos and all
- 51:07Speaker 1: sorts of stuff there. AnnCoulter.substack.com. Ann Coulter, how you doing? Fantastic.
- 51:15Speaker 6: How are you, Mark Simone?
- 51:17Speaker 1: I'm good. Hey, did you hear our crazy governor, Kathy Hochul,
- 51:22Speaker 1: she and the legislature passed a law that no local
- 51:25Speaker 1: police are allowed to cooperate with ICE. Now, listen to
- 51:28Speaker 1: the first sentence she says here.
- 51:30Speaker 6: Local police will assist ICE only if a real crime
- 51:34Speaker 6: has been committed.
- 51:35Speaker 1: Now, what does that mean?
- 51:40Speaker 12: I love this, that liberals are going to.
- 51:42Speaker 6: Decide what a real crime is. This is like Susan
- 51:48Speaker 6: Estridge's book, Real Rape, suggesting that.
- 51:53Speaker 6: When, you know, that whole date rape thing.
- 51:56Speaker 12: That, oh, no, that's just the same as as.
- 51:59Speaker 6: A stranger jumping out from behind the bushes.
- 52:01Speaker 12: No, no, that really is.
- 52:03Speaker 6: But a crime is a crime. And ICE isn't wasting
- 52:06Speaker 6: its time on, I don't know, jaywalkers.
- 52:09Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you it is if you broke into
- 52:11Speaker 1: the country illegally and you're here illegally, isn't that a
- 52:14Speaker 1: real crime, too?
- 52:16Speaker 6: Yes, it is. Yes, it is. It's one that the
- 52:19Speaker 6: American people are quite upset about, I might add. That's
- 52:22Speaker 6: the main crime the voters would like Trump to be enforcing.
- 52:27Speaker 12: You think that's what she means? Absolutely not to help
- 52:31Speaker 12: them enforce just.
- 52:32Speaker 6: Being here illegally?
- 52:33Speaker 1: Yeah, she's saying that's not a real crime. You can
- 52:36Speaker 1: only cooperate on a real crime, just here illegally.
- 52:39Speaker 6: Well, on the other hand, both– I mean– Every state
- 52:43Speaker 6: official in New York doesn't think rape and murder.
- 52:46Speaker 5: Are real crimes.
- 52:48Speaker 6: Well, maybe murder, maybe murder, but muggings, pushing somebody in
- 52:53Speaker 6: front of a subway, harassing people, chasing them down the sidewalk,
- 52:56Speaker 6: breaking and injuring people. Those are all crap on the
- 52:59Speaker 6: wrist crimes. So if we're using Kathy Hochul's and D.A.
- 53:04Speaker 6: Bragg's interpretation of, quote, real crime, it pretty much comes
- 53:09Speaker 6: down to, well, OK, I'll give them murder and terrorism.
- 53:15Speaker 1: So did you watch Al-Sayed on TV the other night
- 53:19Speaker 1: talking about how ISIS running around shooting people in the face?
- 53:22Speaker 1: What was he talking about?
- 53:27Speaker 12: I guess they're really obsessed with the whole Minnesota thing.
- 53:30Speaker 6: I don't think anybody was shot in the face. I
- 53:35Speaker 6: like his comparison of clitorectomies and gender operations, poisoning and
- 53:43Speaker 6: mutilating little kids to simply being circumcised. That was good.
- 53:50Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's like if the Iranians chop your arm off.
- 53:53Speaker 1: And he would say, well, you get a manicure, don't you?
- 53:56Speaker 1: That's the same thing.
- 53:57Speaker 6: That's a very good comparison, yes.
- 54:02Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't think he's doing so well.
- 54:06Speaker 6: Though there was a lot of hope for him among
- 54:09Speaker 6: the progressives.
- 54:10Speaker 12: I mean, I guess we'll see.
- 54:12Speaker 6: But he seems to be bungling a lot of things recently. Yeah.
- 54:16Speaker 1: Hey, Ann Coulter, I don't know if you heard this.
- 54:18Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton is speaking at something yesterday, and they asked
- 54:20Speaker 1: her about these Democratic socialists and figuring she'll denounce it.
- 54:24Speaker 1: She didn't. She kind of embraced it. She said, like,
- 54:26Speaker 1: it's a wonderful experiment. What is she embracing that for?
- 54:30Speaker 1: Is she thinking that's going to help her run in 2028?
- 54:32Speaker 5: I get the impression from a lot of these Democrats,
- 54:39Speaker 5: it's like, It's like.
- 54:40Speaker 6: Your parents trying to be cool. They think this is
- 54:43Speaker 6: what the young kids like.
- 54:45Speaker 1: Well, that's kind of what you said.
- 54:46Speaker 6: I don't really get that crazy music they're listening to, but,
- 54:50Speaker 6: you know, let's offer them a cocktail and say we
- 54:52Speaker 6: want to smoke some weed. It just seems really sort
- 55:00Speaker 6: of embarrassing. Yeah.
- 55:02Speaker 1: So, hey, you wrote this book, Demonic, and we were
- 55:05Speaker 1: talking about this last week at Democrats always have to
- 55:08Speaker 1: find some evil boogeyman and run against that. And is
- 55:13Speaker 1: it now the data centers? You know, they act like
- 55:16Speaker 1: they're nuclear plants or some of these data centers. We
- 55:18Speaker 1: have to live in fear of them.
- 55:20Speaker 12: I am so glad you mentioned that.
- 55:23Speaker 6: No, it's really nuts. I can't get to the bottom
- 55:27Speaker 6: of it, but it seems to me it's based on.
- 55:30Speaker 6: At least from what I've read of the story about this. Well,
- 55:33Speaker 6: one thing, and I don't like this on my side.
- 55:36Speaker 6: I don't care if you call it, quote, populism. This
- 55:38Speaker 6: hatred of people who are rich.
- 55:41Speaker 10: I'm not rich.
- 55:42Speaker 6: I'm not a billionaire. I'm not a centimillionaire. But I
- 55:46Speaker 6: think it's fantastic that people like Jeff Bezos and even
- 55:50Speaker 6: the Google guys. Google's pretty great. They've done great things
- 55:56Speaker 6: to improve all of our lives.
- 55:58Speaker 12: And a lot of it, I think, is envy. I
- 56:00Speaker 12: talked about this on my podcast on Monday.
- 56:05Speaker 6: I also figured out that global warming is all about envy.
- 56:09Speaker 6: They were so happy about all these billionaires' houses around Manchin, Miami.
- 56:14Speaker 12: Ha, ha, ha, global warming.
- 56:16Speaker 5: They're all going to be underwater.
- 56:17Speaker 6: So part of it, I think, is hate of the rich.
- 56:20Speaker 12: But the other thing is, Some of the AI, you know, founders, promoters,
- 56:27Speaker 12: whether it's to get more investment in.
- 56:31Speaker 6: Their little projects or just because they want people to
- 56:36Speaker 6: find them fascinating and ask them, no, tell us how
- 56:39Speaker 6: AI is going to destroy humanity. It's absurd, Marc Simone.
- 56:43Speaker 12: It's utterly, imposterously absurd.
- 56:46Speaker 6: And I've been running, whoa, we are a long way
- 56:48Speaker 6: off from it. AI taking over some gigantic chunk of jobs.
- 56:53Speaker 6: They'll take over a bunch of jobs.
- 56:55Speaker 12: Well, so did the internet.
- 56:56Speaker 6: So did the computer. I mean, what happened to travelers?
- 57:00Speaker 6: What happened to journalists? Oh, well, we adjusted. Would anybody
- 57:04Speaker 6: say the internet not made all of our lives better?
- 57:07Speaker 6: And if you look at the capacity of AI now,
- 57:10Speaker 6: I'm always.
- 57:11Speaker 12: Sending these out on my subsection, just like basic.
- 57:13Speaker 6: Questions you ask Google AI or Brock, and they can't
- 57:17Speaker 6: find them. I can find them.
- 57:19Speaker 12: They long to you. It's preposterous, some of the answers
- 57:24Speaker 12: you get.
- 57:25Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 57:26Speaker 1: But just the fear of the data center. They use
- 57:29Speaker 1: a lot of electricity. That problem can be solved. The water,
- 57:32Speaker 1: they use too much water.
- 57:33Speaker 6: They don't really, by the way. They tend to generate
- 57:36Speaker 6: their own, and of course they pay for it. But
- 57:39Speaker 6: they do a lot of self-generation. Same thing with the water.
- 57:42Speaker 6: They rerun the water through the same plants.
- 57:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 57:47Speaker 6: I mean, I keep hearing that they're going up right next.
- 57:50Speaker 12: To, you know, beautiful farms and farmland.
- 57:53Speaker 6: Well, I don't know. Maybe. I don't think most of
- 57:56Speaker 6: them are. And that seems like kind of an easy
- 57:59Speaker 6: solution if it's just a matter of real estate. Okay,
- 58:03Speaker 6: move it to an uglier industrial part of town.
- 58:06Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the only real problem, they do make noise.
- 58:09Speaker 1: There's a low hum. There's a loud hum. There's the
- 58:12Speaker 1: sound of a turbine. But so what? I mean, just
- 58:15Speaker 1: put them somewhere else. But people live near airports.
- 58:18Speaker 14: Exactly.
- 58:20Speaker 6: Yes, no, airports, great comparison. Great comparison.
- 58:25Speaker 12: Yeah, okay, don't put them quite so close.
- 58:27Speaker 6: You want them close because you want your data being stored,
- 58:30Speaker 6: and this is what makes the world go around. I
- 58:34Speaker 6: just think all of these, and I will add this,
- 58:36Speaker 6: this is also in, demonic, I believe it was demonic,
- 58:41Speaker 6: that an aspect of this groupthink and mobthink is a
- 58:46Speaker 6: fear of inventions and newness, as you mostly see with liberals.
- 58:55Speaker 6: They want us to go back to farming like we're
- 58:59Speaker 6: in colonial times. We have to get rid of indoor
- 59:03Speaker 6: plumbing and use, what do they call that, clivus multrum?
- 59:09Speaker 6: and what's so crazy thing going on in New York
- 59:11Speaker 6: where you're supposed to be composting food from your tiny
- 59:16Speaker 6: little Manhattan apartment? I was saying that. No, we have things.
- 59:22Speaker 12: Called trash compactors, you complete idiots. So I'm very much against.
- 59:28Speaker 6: This hysteria over progress and innovation. Every innovation, every invention
- 59:34Speaker 6: has always been said, oh, humans, we're going to have
- 59:37Speaker 6: nothing to do with humanity.
- 59:39Speaker 12: And it's never, ever happened.
- 59:42Speaker 6: Going back to the wheel.
- 59:44Speaker 1: Hey, also, Democrats, they one by one, they alienate every
- 59:47Speaker 1: part of their base. They got rid of factory workers
- 59:49Speaker 1: who are now become Republicans. A lot of minorities now
- 59:52Speaker 1: supporting the Republicans. Aren't they alienating the whole Silicon Valley?
- 59:56Speaker 1: The tech guy, they're alienating them. That was their biggest
- 59:59Speaker 1: financial backers.
- 1:00:01Speaker 12: That's a good point. I hope so.
- 1:00:03Speaker 6: I'm always dubious of a lot of these very wealthy.
- 1:00:08Speaker 12: People because so many of the– and I'm not engaging.
- 1:00:13Speaker 6: In the wealth myself. Good for them for the money.
- 1:00:17Speaker 6: But just so many rich people are very liberal, and
- 1:00:21Speaker 6: it just seems to me that they have everything. They
- 1:00:24Speaker 6: don't need to make any more money. All they want
- 1:00:27Speaker 6: is to hang out with actresses. And now how do
- 1:00:31Speaker 6: you do that? Start denouncing Trump, poor little George Bush
- 1:00:37Speaker 6: as fascist in the rise of Hitler and please invite
- 1:00:41Speaker 6: me to a Hollywood party.
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. When they make a ton
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: of money, all they want to do is be on
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: the radio, be on TV, write a book, be in
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: the media, hang out with celebrities, do a podcast.
- 1:00:52Speaker 6: So embarrassing.
- 1:00:54Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: So everybody follow Ann Coulter on Twitter. Great stuff on Twitter.
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: Make sure you follow her on Substack because that's you.
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: You've got everything going on Substack. And Ann Coulter, thanks
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: for being with us.

- 1:01:55Speaker 1: o'clock every morning, nine to noon. We got a lot
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: more coming up our special holiday show. A lot of
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: things changed with the pandemic. You remember that we were,
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: we were locked up at home for a few months.
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: And then for months after that, you couldn't really go
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: to work. You couldn't, everybody's working from home and a
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: lot of things changed after that year. First of all, uh,
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: It used to be you went to work until 5,
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: 6 o'clock. Then you went home, changed, did whatever you're
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: going to do. Then you went out to dinner. So
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: everybody would go out at 7, 8 o'clock to dinner.
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: During the pandemic, you're working from home. So when you're
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: done at 5, you're all set to go. A lot
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: of people started going to restaurants and going to dinner 5,
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: 6 o'clock. And that has stuck with us now. People
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: are eating earlier. Big article in the New York Times
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: not long ago, it said 6 o'clock is the new
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: 8 o'clock. So The restaurants will tell you they get
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: packed now at six. Maybe you get a second wave
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: at eight, but it's mostly six, seven o'clock. Everybody's there.
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: Sometimes five 30 restaurants start getting a lot of customers.
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: So that's one thing that changed. Obviously zoom became huge
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: during the pandemic. And the other thing that changed, nobody
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: could go to a movie theater during the pandemic. There
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: was a year of no movie theater. So people realized
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: like it's, It's fine to watch a movie at home.
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: You don't have to go to a theater. It used
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: to be you went for the big screen. That's when
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: they had big screens, you know, like Ziegfeld Theater across
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: the street there. 2,000 people in the audience, a big screen.
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: And then over the years, every movie theater busted up
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: into four theaters, some of them eight theaters. So you
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: had every theater. Then you go to a movie theater.
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: Now it's busted up into four separate theaters, each one
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: with 100 seats, each one with a smaller screen. And
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: at the same time that phenomenon is going on, your
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: TV at home is getting bigger and bigger. Remember, it
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: used to be 30 inches. Wow, a 30-inch screen. Then
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: a 45-inch screen was nothing. 65-inch was normal. 75-inch is
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: pretty common now. 95, 100-inch. So your screen at home
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: got as big as the one in the theater as
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: that kept shrinking. And the quality, the actual picture quality
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: is probably better on your home screen now. And you
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: can get your own sound, your own speakers. It sounds good.
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: There was no reason to go to a movie theater.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: So when the pandemic ended, it was very tough to
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: get people back in the theaters. Really tough. And they
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: were empty for so long. Now, I give AMC credit.
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: AMC just quietly rebuilt all their theaters. So now when
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: you go in there, you're sitting in a recliner seat.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: And they're really comfortable, nice recliner seats. And on both sides,
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: you got like a tray table there. You can order anything.
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: They got waiters and waitresses. It's great. So that helped
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: a little. But what really helped is these past few weeks,
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: where you got the two biggest blockbusters. And this is
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: unusual for two to happen at the same time. But
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: you got the Odyssey, which opened and just packed theaters.
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: The Odyssey made $ 1. 3 billion in just the first few weeks.
- 1:05:04Speaker 6: $ 1.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: 3 billion. But even bigger is Spider-Man. Spider-Man over the
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: weekend hit 2 billion. This is in a couple of weeks.
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: 2 billion. The other one, 1.3 million. This has got
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: people back to the theaters. And if you're going to
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: those AMC theaters and you say, wow, you can sit
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: in a reclining chair. But give this a few months
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: and people start to realize, wait a minute, I got
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: a reclining chair at home. I can do this at home. Yeah,
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: but in a theater, you could order anything you want. Well,
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: I can do that at home. I can do, you know,
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: If you're at home, you can lie in bed and
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: watch the movie. So I don't know what the future
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: is of these movie theaters, but we'll see. Hey, The
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: Daily Show, Jon Stewart, he's doing this podcast. He's had
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: a million guests. The Daily Show's been on for, what, decades?
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: All these guests. So they asked him in this podcast,
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: who is your least favorite guest? Your least favorite guest. Now,
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: people have asked me that, too. I've had probably, I
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: don't know, 50,000 guests on. Over the decades, everybody you
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: can name least favorite. I don't know. I don't know
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: this really bad guest, but I kind of enjoyed them.
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: They were so bad. They made it fun. Well, we'll
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: give them name names another time. So John Stewart right away,
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: he said Donald Rumsfeld. Apparently, so Rumsfeld was going to
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: be on in 2011. This is after the Iraq war.
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: Rumsfeld had written a book and he was going to
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: promote this book. So Stewart said he stayed up all
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: night studying it, studying the book. He said, I stayed
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: up as if I were cramming for an exam. Okay,
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: that's good. You're doing research. You're preparing for the interview.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: But he said, now this is, you're not supposed to
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: do this. See, this is a rigged, biased show. He said,
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: I worked out a logic trap, a labyrinth. I was
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: going to draw him into my trap and then spring it.
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: you're not supposed to do that. Just ask the guy questions.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: So it was, it was the Iraq war that he
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: was going after him for. So he had this whole
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: plot of what he was going to do, trap him,
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: you know, logic trap, whatever the hell that is. But
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: as soon as they start the interview, Stuart said, you know,
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: when you were selling the war and Rumsfeld interrupted right away,
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: he says, no, no, no, no way. Not selling the war,
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: simply making the case. So then Stuart started debating him
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: on whether it was selling or making the case, selling
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: the war, making it. So that debate went, For 10 minutes,
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: Stewart realized later, he said, Rumsfeld tortured him and tricked him.
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: He got him hung up on that, on that little semantics.
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: And that burned up most of the interview. And he
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: never got to his logic trap, whatever the hell that was.
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: But apparently this has bugged Stewart like crazy. He said,
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: it tortured me. I couldn't sleep that night. And for
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: many nights afterwards, I couldn't sleep. He said, after the interview,
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: Rumsfeld sent me a note saying, really enjoyed the interview.
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I wish he had known you
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: when we were younger. I bet we would have been friends.
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: And he said he knew Rumsfeld was doing that just
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: to torture him even more. See, this is how twisted
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: these guys are inside. They're like plotting, scheming to take
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: down Trump, take down Rumsfeld. It's not just an interview
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: with them. They're going to wipe the guy out. Hey, CBS, now,
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: you know, there's this Paramount Skydance merger, and everybody's, not everybody,
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: these crazy left-wing politicians, attorneys general, and all the crazy
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: activists yelling and screaming, it'll be a monopoly. It won't
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: be a monopoly. It'll be like the number five streaming
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: service merging with the number 12 streaming service. It's not
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: going to be a monopoly of any kind. But they're
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: trying to stop this. One reason is CNN is involved
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: in this merger. So I guess they think there'll be
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: some kind of control over it there. But the attorney
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: general here in New York, Tish James, the attorney general
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: in California, they're all threatening Paramount, Skydance and coming after them.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: So what can you do about that if you're the
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: chairman putting together this merger? Well, They did say it's
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: very possible they'll move CBS out of New York. If
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: they actually move CBS out of New York State, well,
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: then the New York Attorney General has no jurisdiction and
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: can't do anything. And there's talk about moving them out
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: of California, too. I don't think that's drastic because if
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: you move them out of CBS and out of California,
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: you save a fortune. It's a lot cheaper to operate
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: somewhere else. A lot cheaper. If you move it to
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: another state, You're saving a fortune. So it's not a
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: crazy thing to do. And these businesses like CBS, they
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: don't make the money they used to. Viewership is way down.
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: Revenue is way down. Now, CBS, of course, CBS building
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: on 6th Avenue. And then there's the massive facility, 57th
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: and 12th. You know, you always drive by that CBS building,
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: which is quite a crazy building. I used to work there.
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: It's an old dairy farm, dairy factory or whatever it was.
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: And then they cut two or three buildings together. It's
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: a ridiculous maze. And if you're in the studio and
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: you try to go to the men's room, you've got
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: to twist and turn on a million hallways. And then
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: nobody can ever find their way back. It's like a hospital.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: They've got to paint lines on the floor so you
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: know where to go. So they could close that down.
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: They could move. And I remember CNN in its early
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: years came out of Atlanta. It's easy to do. It
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: became a big, successful, big national network operating out of Atlanta.
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: You don't have to be in New York. And a
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: lot of people say that CNN was better in Atlanta
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: because it's when they got out of there and came
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: to New York, that's when they got more crazy left-wing.
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: You know, when they were broadcasting from Atlanta, it was
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: in the heartland, real America. They were more common sense.
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: When they came to Manhattan... You know, Upper West Side,
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: where CNN was. All of a sudden, it became more left-wing.
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: Everybody you hired was more left-wing. A lot of that
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: bias came from leaving Atlanta. So, hey, 60 Minutes, they
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: got Barry Weiss in charge. They're making all kinds of changes,
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: bringing in new correspondents. 60 Minutes, if you go back
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: 20 years ago, even 30 years, it was like the
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: number one show on television. Something like 65 million people
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: watched every Sunday night. Now you're lucky if it's 2 million,
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: 3 million. I know they'll say, oh, sometimes we have
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: 5 million. Yeah, that's right after a big football game
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: as a lead-in. When there's no football, it plunges. So
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: Barry White's trying to get it back to the old
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: 60 Minutes. You know, there were superstar correspondents. It was
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: Mike Wallace and Harry Reasoner. I mean, they were just superstars.
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: And you look at 60 Minutes now, you don't know
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: any of these. Bill Whitaker. Who the hell is Bill Whitaker? Pfft.
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: Bill Whitaker, he should have been a bank robber because
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: nobody can remember him. Nobody can remember what he looks like.
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: Witnesses couldn't tell you anything. He's just the dullest guy
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: in the world. Who else is on 60 Minutes? You see?
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you ever think you'd see a
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: time where nobody, oh, Leslie Stahl, this old, old 90-year-old crow.
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: So she's trying to, Barry Weiss, trying to get this back.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: She just hired a writer from the New Yorker. You know,
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: for all this talk of Barry Weiss, this conservative is,
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: She's not a conservative. She's a Democrat. She's a liberal.
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: Nothing is more slanted left-wing than the New Yorker. She
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: just hired somebody from there. But she's got another idea. Now,
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: you remember one of the other big things of 60
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: Minutes was Andy Rooney. That was like the most famous feature.
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: At the end of 60 Minutes, Andy Rooney would do
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: that segment, and it was great. It was great. So
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: she wants to bring that back. Remember they used to
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: call it A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney. And then
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: he would do these segments where he would just, anything
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: in his desk, why do they call it a typewriter?
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. Did you ever notice that? That
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So she wants to bring that back.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: There's no real Andy Rooney around. So apparently she wants
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld. You know, he's perfect. He's the king of, hey,
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: did you ever notice? Or why do they call it Ovaltine?
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: You know, he's perfect. Seinfeld says he will not do it.
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: I mean, listen, this guy's also the biggest comedian, most
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: famous comedian on earth. He's not going to come do
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: a two-minute segment for 60 minutes. The other one they
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: want is John Cleese, apparently. And they say they've talked
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: to all these people I'm naming here. Cleese is very interested.
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: John Cleese, yeah, I guess he'd be good. Yeah, he'd
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: be good. He'd be like an Andy Rooney type. The
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: other one they're talking to is Stephen A. Smith. What?
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: This doesn't make any sense. First of all, the idea
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: of Andy Rooney, he was like an old news guy,
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: an old Lou Grant news guy, and he was in
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: a rumpled suit in this cluttered office like a Lou Grant.
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: That's not, Stephen A. Smith is wearing like a $ 10, 000 suit,
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: looks as slick as can be. Also, too much yelling
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: from him. You notice he always starts off, then by
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: the end, he's yelling and screaming. So that's not going
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: to work on 60 Minutes. But Cleese seems the most interested.
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: Watch it end up being John Cleese. It's in the
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: 59th season. 59 years that show's been on. No, that's
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: not the longest running show. Meet the Press still holds
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: the record. Meet the Press, longest running show ever. You know,
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: The View is celebrating its 30th anniversary. 30 years of
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: The View. And it looks it, too. So they're going
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: to invite everybody back. All the cast, a big reunion
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: at Rosie O'Donnell saying she can't wait to go back.
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: And then The View pointing out, wait a minute, we
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: never asked her. We didn't invite her back. She just
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: assumed she's coming back. But apparently there's a big fight
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: at The View. They do not want Meghan McCain back.
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: They don't want Meghan McCain back. They all hate her because,
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: you know, the left wing, Joy Behar had problems with her.
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: Always got vicious fights on the air. Whoopi Goldberg got
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: into big fights with Meghan McCain on the air. And
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: then she left. They got rid of her. But then
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: in 2021, after she was gone, she started doing interviews
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: talking about how bad the view is, the toxic work environment. Well,
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: you've seen that cast of characters. Look how bad they
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: are on the air. Can you imagine off the air?
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: So with her having so many fights with him, then
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: bad-mouthing him afterwards, don't expect to see her back. on
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: the reunion. Not that anybody's going to be watching this reunion,
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: but it's a small audience anyway. Hey, we got a
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: lot more coming. It's our special holiday show. Don't go away.
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: There's a lot more just ahead. Keith, how you doing?
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: Pretty good, Mark.
- 1:16:08Speaker 14: Thanks for taking my call. Love the extra hour.
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:16:13Speaker 14: I was calling about the data centers. Somebody told me
- 1:16:16Speaker 14: that golf courses use more water than data centers. And
- 1:16:20Speaker 14: I don't know if you know any truth to that.
- 1:16:22Speaker 14: I have three golf courses in my town and no
- 1:16:24Speaker 14: shortage of water.
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: Garden City, you got the Garden City Country Club, the
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: golf club, that old club been there 100 years. You
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: got the Wyndham has a golf club, right? And what's
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: the other one?
- 1:16:36Speaker 14: The Cherry Valley.
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: Cherry Valley, that's right. So I think Garden City would
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: be good for a data center. We'll put it right
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: on 7th Street next to Ivorone.
- 1:16:47Speaker 14: No, no, no.
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: Where Tony's Tacos are.
- 1:16:51Speaker 14: Maybe in the parking lot of Data Center. You're making
- 1:16:57Speaker 14: me hungry. You know, the Chinese, they spent all this
- 1:17:00Speaker 14: money convincing these people that these data centers are bad.
- 1:17:03Speaker 14: They do the same thing. They back any candidate that's
- 1:17:06Speaker 14: anti-mining because they want to control all the minerals. And
- 1:17:09Speaker 14: we as Americans, we fall for these fake crises. I
- 1:17:13Speaker 14: remember as a kid on Long Island, they said aerosol
- 1:17:16Speaker 14: cans were going to kill the ozone layer. You know
- 1:17:19Speaker 14: how many hairspray cans were used up in the 80s
- 1:17:21Speaker 14: on Long Island?
- 1:17:22Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:17:22Speaker 14: What do we use today? Aerosol cans are still here today.
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: No, you're right. And it's a very, very good point.
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: You know, there's always this is a democratic tactic. They
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: do this all the time. They've always done this. It's
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: the way they campaign. It's the way they run. Media
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: jumps in and helps them, too. They have to always
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: create a boogeyman, something they're fighting, a boogeyman. This whole
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: tactic started with the French Revolution. They did it then.
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: Ann Coulter wrote a book about it called Demonic. They
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: always create this boogeyman that they're battling against. It was
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: nuclear plants before. Now it's data centers. They've replaced the
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: nuclear plants. And they always do this. They're fighting the
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: MAGA extremists. Nobody knows who the hell, who are these
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: MAGA extremists or the MAGA people? Nobody knows who you're
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: talking about. You remember every campaign, the last one, it
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: was the alt-right. Nobody knew what the hell the alt-right was.
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: And then at one point it was QAnon, which was
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: some chat group on the internet, but they were battling
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: QAnon and they were Always battling these different forces. Let's
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: go to Paul Roslin, another great suburb. Roslin, Long Island. Paul,
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: how are you doing?
- 1:18:32Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark.
- 1:18:33Speaker 15: How are you?
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: Good.
- 1:18:34Speaker 15: Good. I just wanted to mention to you that Dolly
- 1:18:37Speaker 15: Parton was played tremendously on 106.7 many years ago.
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: Light FM? Yeah.
- 1:18:46Speaker 15: No, it wasn't Light FM.
- 1:18:48Speaker 8: It was WKHK.
- 1:18:50Speaker 3: Kick FM.
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. You know, it used to be a
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: country station, WKHK, and it was a country station. It
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: was like 14th place, and then they became Light FM.
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: It became the number one station in New York. It's
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: right down the hall there, right at the end of
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: our hall. That's Light FM. I know.
- 1:19:05Speaker 15: They brought in all these DJs from the South. And
- 1:19:10Speaker 15: the station didn't last, obviously, because there wasn't country music.
- 1:19:13Speaker 15: It wasn't so popular then.
- 1:19:15Speaker 6: No.
- 1:19:15Speaker 15: But I remember listening to it when they did have it.
- 1:19:18Speaker 15: And I think it was your company that had it, right?
- 1:19:20Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: Well, it was country under a different company.
- 1:19:24Speaker 15: Right, under a different company.
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: But anyway, she was really incredible.
- 1:19:28Speaker 15: What a personality.
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: You're in Roslyn, New York. You're getting, hey, the Jolly
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: Fisherman is gone, but it's about to become an incredible
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: new restaurant.
- 1:19:36Speaker 3: I know.
- 1:19:36Speaker 15: I don't know what it's going to become yet.
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: Oh, it's going to be unbelievable. Gillis Pole, the Pole Brothers,
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: these guys are the greatest restaurant.
- 1:19:41Speaker 15: Right, the Pole Brothers.
- 1:19:42Speaker 6: They own everything.
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: Well, they're the best restaurant guys probably in America, but
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: definitely in Long Island. You're not kidding.
- 1:19:47Speaker 15: God, they are unbelievable. But I listen to you every day,
- 1:19:50Speaker 15: and you are absolutely sensational. Just keep doing what you're doing.
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: All right.
- 1:19:55Speaker 5: Thanks.
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Yeah, Light FM was WKHK. Remember the
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: big country station was WHN? AM 1050, WHM, the country
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: station with Del DeMontreau and all those sort of guys.
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: And Larry Kenny, remember Larry Kenny? Great guy. And then
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: it switched to.
- 1:20:16Speaker 15: Sports.
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: Remember? Yeah, it became WFAN. That was where the original
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: WFAN was. So some people thought, well, there's a need
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: for a country station. We'll create a country station on FM.
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: And it never quite works in New York. Whenever they
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: do a country station, they can't figure out why it
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: doesn't work in New York. Well, Walk around Manhattan. You
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: don't see a lot of McLeod cowboy hats here. I mean,
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: it's not a country city. I mean, I love country music.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: And there are people. If you go way out in
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: Long Island, you'll find some country fans. But if you're
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: in Roslyn and Manhasset, there's not a lot of country
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: fans there. You know, when you see those people, you go,
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: how are you? They're not big country listeners. So it
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: didn't work. It became Light FM, which, by the way,
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: was controversial at the time. Nobody understood the format. Light FM,
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: where you just play light music. What kind of music?
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: It became the number one station. It is still today,
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: right now, down the hall. That station is the number
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: one highest rated, most listened to station in America. Number
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: one radio station. And always has been for like a
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: million years. You know, right on this floor, in the morning,
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: right now, we reach about, I don't know, like 22
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: million people or something. You got... Charlemagne over there, he's
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: got like 8 million listeners. You got Elvis Duran down
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: the hall, he's probably got 9 million listeners, 10 million listeners.
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: You got Light FM, the number one single most listened
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: to morning show station in America. You got Q104, it's
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: like the number three station in New York. You got,
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: what else is here? KTU is one of the great stations.
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: I'm missing something. That's it, I think. Well, of course, WOR,
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: you see, we get the other, we get like an
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: older audience, but it's the very, very upscale audience. That's
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: the big reason people advertise here. It's a very upscale audience.
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: That's why they say, ah, all I hear are gold companies. Well,
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: the reason the gold companies are here, they're not looking
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: for you to buy something for $ 3. They're looking for
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: a real investor. So this is the kind of station
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: where you can get that kind of action. Hey, it's
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: 9 to noon every day now. I'm on 9 to noon,
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: three hours, 9 a.m. till noon every day. More of
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: our special Labor Day holiday show coming up 9 to
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: midnight on 710WOR. Listen to the show. You'll get hooked.
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: You'll get addicted. It's great. 9 to midnight every weeknight
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: here on WOR. And then you got to watch his
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: Saturday night show on the Fox News channel. It's the
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: best late night show on television. President Trump loves it.
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: It is great. 10 o'clock Saturday night's Fox News Channel.
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: And we'll tell you how you can get tickets to
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: go see it in person. Jimmy Fela, how are you doing?
- 1:23:03Speaker 5: You know what, man? I'm a little nervous because we're
- 1:23:06Speaker 5: sending Harry and Meghan back. And that is the most inflammatory.
- 1:23:11Speaker 6: Thing we've sent to a king.
- 1:23:12Speaker 5: Since July 4th, 1776. Like we might have a war
- 1:23:17Speaker 5: on our hands. I don't think the king wants them either.
- 1:23:21Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: If they came to you, Harry and Meghan, and said,
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: we can't get anything going in America, we can't get
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: a job, we can't get anything, we can't get a show,
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: what would you advise them to do?
- 1:23:33Speaker 5: I mean, what they should have did, for real, is
- 1:23:36Speaker 5: they should have never played the victim card, which is like, oh,
- 1:23:41Speaker 5: it's hard being a royal.
- 1:23:42Speaker 6: You know, because they're not real royals. They're like Kansas
- 1:23:45Speaker 6: City Royals, you know.
- 1:23:46Speaker 5: Like the baseball team. And the reality is, she obviously
- 1:23:49Speaker 5: married him for the fame... And she that's kind of
- 1:23:53Speaker 5: dwindled here, like it's dawned on her that nobody cares
- 1:23:56Speaker 5: because the only.
- 1:23:57Speaker 14: Way Harry's ever going to.
- 1:23:58Speaker 5: Wear the crown is if he has a birthday party
- 1:24:00Speaker 5: at Burger King. OK, there's no relevance attached to him
- 1:24:04Speaker 5: by whining. So what they should have done for real.
- 1:24:08Speaker 5: Do you know, we have all these really famous Instagram
- 1:24:10Speaker 5: influencers who do nothing, but they're always showing you their
- 1:24:12Speaker 5: cars and their jets. Like Harry and Meghan, in theory,
- 1:24:16Speaker 5: are the best version of that because neither of them
- 1:24:19Speaker 5: do nothing. They've been bequeathed hundreds of millions of dollars
- 1:24:22Speaker 5: from his royal status, and they should be leaning into that.
- 1:24:26Speaker 5: Do you remember when Harry was getting kicked out of
- 1:24:28Speaker 5: the pools in Las Vegas because he was getting drunk
- 1:24:30Speaker 5: and drinking Heineken? Do you know what you've got to
- 1:24:32Speaker 5: do to get kicked out of the pool at the
- 1:24:34Speaker 5: Mandalay Bay?
- 1:24:36Speaker 6: I don't, and I've tried everything.
- 1:24:38Speaker 5: And I still don't know what you've got to do.
- 1:24:40Speaker 5: And the point is, that version of Harry, like, he
- 1:24:43Speaker 5: would be like the movie Arthur. We would like that Harry,
- 1:24:46Speaker 5: because you'd be like, oh, it's a British hooligan, you know?
- 1:24:49Speaker 5: But instead he's doing the, you know, the what was
- 1:24:51Speaker 5: me thing, and nobody wants to hear it.
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: Hey, also, how could you be the Prince Harry, the
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: royal family, and the only one you can marry is
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: some woman who was like 15th billing in suits? You
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: can't do better than that.
- 1:25:07Speaker 6: Yeah, we're not even talking about a big show here.
- 1:25:09Speaker 5: I mean, as a royal, yeah, you'd like to think
- 1:25:12Speaker 5: you could parlay that into a little bit more. But,
- 1:25:15Speaker 5: you know, he has low self-esteem because he's not even
- 1:25:18Speaker 5: sure that King's his real dad.
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: It's a whole to-do.
- 1:25:21Speaker 5: We've all seen those bodyguard photos.
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of this one. Yeah,
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: that's true. Hey, Eric Swalwell, FBI confronted him at the airport,
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: seized his devices. They had a search warrant to execute
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: to take all his electronics. You think we'll finally find
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: out something about this guy, what he was really up to?
- 1:25:39Speaker 5: I think... I think we have an idea of what
- 1:25:42Speaker 5: he was really up to. I mean, he's ordering a
- 1:25:44Speaker 5: lot of Chinese takeout. You're picking up what I'm putting down.
- 1:25:48Speaker 6: And I think I honestly.
- 1:25:51Speaker 5: Think what the Trump DOJ is probably trying to do
- 1:25:54Speaker 5: is get a handle on like who he was really
- 1:25:58Speaker 5: communicating with beyond her. Because apparently, like when he was
- 1:26:02Speaker 5: outed as, you know, being trapped in.
- 1:26:04Speaker 6: That, you know, the honeypot situation, you know, they got.
- 1:26:06Speaker 5: A briefing that was like, wow, this guy is really
- 1:26:09Speaker 5: seeing some bad things. But it doesn't sound like the
- 1:26:12Speaker 5: Biden administration wanted to prosecute it because it might have
- 1:26:14Speaker 5: been a liability for them. So it is a really
- 1:26:18Speaker 5: it's a rough time to be a D.C. madam right
- 1:26:21Speaker 5: now because a lot of your clients might be tied
- 1:26:24Speaker 5: to this phone.
- 1:26:25Speaker 6: Like if anybody's looking for work as.
- 1:26:26Speaker 5: A food taster, this is a good way to apply
- 1:26:29Speaker 5: in D.C.
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: Hey, this guy, Asif, the senator who's saying the most ugly,
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: vicious things about Trump, even top Democratic operative David Axelrod.
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: told him to shut up, told him it's too much,
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: reprimanded him. So is Ossoff going to listen or is
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: he going to keep going with these tirades?
- 1:26:49Speaker 5: You know, I think he enjoys the relevance he's gaining
- 1:26:52Speaker 5: from this. So I actually think he's now going to
- 1:26:55Speaker 5: lean in. Because it started with him telling a joke
- 1:26:57Speaker 5: that looked a little sexist. He was implying that Trump
- 1:26:59Speaker 5: was with this girl who, as you know, is a
- 1:27:02Speaker 5: bone cancer survivor and works as his personal assistant. And
- 1:27:06Speaker 5: Ossoff tried to insinuate there was something else going on.
- 1:27:09Speaker 5: He took that back, if you saw him on Jen
- 1:27:12Speaker 5: Psaki's show.
- 1:27:13Speaker 6: But now he's leaning in again.
- 1:27:14Speaker 5: Now he's doing the whole, oh, you know, MAGA's melting
- 1:27:17Speaker 5: down and blah, blah, blah. But again, he thinks he's
- 1:27:22Speaker 5: brandishing himself as this left-wing tough guy, except if you're
- 1:27:25Speaker 5: watching his rallies, they're having him shot like a Telemundo
- 1:27:29Speaker 5: soap opera. He's got nine pounds of makeup and 53
- 1:27:33Speaker 5: camera angles at his rallies. It's really like days of
- 1:27:37Speaker 5: our lives if they were running for Senate down in Georgia.
- 1:27:41Speaker 5: And no one takes this guy seriously. It really is weird,
- 1:27:45Speaker 5: but he looks like he's playing James Tallarico in a
- 1:27:47Speaker 5: made-for-TV movie.
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: Yeah, and Trump has a couple of personal assistants, but
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: Natalie Harp works her tail off. She's working day and night.
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: You just see the way she works. She's running around
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: trying to do 50 things. If she was sleeping with
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: the boss, she wouldn't be working that hard, would she?
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: You know what, man?
- 1:28:09Speaker 5: That's like, in all honesty, that is the most brilliant
- 1:28:11Speaker 5: piece of analysis I've ever heard.
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: You can tell she's the one definitely next to me.
- 1:28:16Speaker 5: If she was sleeping with the boss, she'd have some
- 1:28:19Speaker 5: cushy gig somewhere down the road.
- 1:28:22Speaker 12: You're right.
- 1:28:23Speaker 6: You know, he'd send her down to check on the.
- 1:28:25Speaker 5: Reflecting pool once a month. You know, she'd have a
- 1:28:27Speaker 5: good racket.
- 1:28:28Speaker 6: That's it.
- 1:28:29Speaker 5: That puts the whole thing.
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: To bed for me. Well, you can have that because
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: I steal enough stuff from you and your show.
- 1:28:33Speaker 6: So um hey.
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: I was listening to you last night your son is
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: going to college.
- 1:28:41Speaker 5: You know he he he got a whatchamacallit listen he
- 1:28:44Speaker 5: got a partial scholarship which is good because we don't
- 1:28:47Speaker 5: have to sell coke like the penn state guys but
- 1:28:50Speaker 5: uh You know, you don't know. I mean, the rent
- 1:28:52Speaker 5: don't pay itself around here with all these new mom
- 1:28:56Speaker 5: Donnie taxes. You know, me and the link man might
- 1:28:58Speaker 5: have something going. But the one thing I will tell
- 1:29:00Speaker 5: you is you're not going to see us getting busted
- 1:29:02Speaker 5: for dealing drugs on Venmo. Did you catch that?
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: They are pretty stupid.
- 1:29:08Speaker 5: 20 grand on Venmo. Like what memo do you write? Like,
- 1:29:11Speaker 5: you know, if somebody splits a dinner check and they
- 1:29:13Speaker 5: Venmo you 80 bucks, it says like dinner. But what
- 1:29:16Speaker 5: do you attach to $ 22, 000 on a Venmo?
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: What do you write for a memo?
- 1:29:20Speaker 6: You know? Some dinner.
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: Hey, but you're not worried sending your kid to college
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: that he's going to come back a socialist, totally indoctrinated?
- 1:29:30Speaker 5: Well, that is our actual deal, for real, is that
- 1:29:32Speaker 5: I told him I will pay for college. But if
- 1:29:35Speaker 5: he comes home this Thanksgiving and tells me he's queer
- 1:29:38Speaker 5: for Palestine, I'm taking all the money back. I want
- 1:29:41Speaker 5: everything back. If we're going to get this documented, I
- 1:29:44Speaker 5: don't have one of those in me. And yeah, that
- 1:29:47Speaker 5: is a concern because even at his college upstate, it's
- 1:29:50Speaker 5: a SUNY school.
- 1:29:51Speaker 6: But the minute we got there.
- 1:29:52Speaker 5: You know, the big George Floyd mural, all the, you know, the,
- 1:29:56Speaker 5: the Antifa flags, all the private, it's all there. And
- 1:29:59Speaker 5: I told them, I'm like, you have to just lean
- 1:30:00Speaker 5: in and laugh at how ridiculous it is because it's,
- 1:30:04Speaker 5: you know, it's not going to go away, you know,
- 1:30:06Speaker 5: but you just got to enjoy all the performative stupidity of,
- 1:30:09Speaker 5: you know, you're taking the SATs on stolen land and blah, blah, blah.
- 1:30:14Speaker 3: Wow.
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: Hey, you've got to listen to Jimmy Fallon every weeknight,
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: 9 to midnight. Now, just warning you, the only problem
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: with the show is you start listening to him, you
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: get addicted. And you keep listening and you keep listening.
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: And you have a flow on that show that I
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: don't know how you do it because I just started
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: doing three hours. It's killing me. But you just start
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: talking and it flows for three hours.
- 1:30:33Speaker 12: How do you do that?
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: Tell me the secret of that.
- 1:30:35Speaker 5: Well, the magic trick is you don't do three hours.
- 1:30:38Speaker 5: You do ten minutes at the top of this hour,
- 1:30:41Speaker 5: nine minutes after you come back from commercial. You know,
- 1:30:44Speaker 5: 12 minutes after that break, you know. So I look
- 1:30:46Speaker 5: at it as a series of individual shows.
- 1:30:49Speaker 6: That's literally how I do it.
- 1:30:51Speaker 5: And each individual show, if we're on the air 12 minutes,
- 1:30:54Speaker 5: you know, that's a show. And then you go to
- 1:30:56Speaker 5: commercial and you do, you know, two, three minutes commercials.
- 1:30:58Speaker 5: You come back, you're doing an eight or nine minute show.
- 1:31:00Speaker 5: You know, that's the way I look at it.
- 1:31:02Speaker 6: And it makes all of it spontaneous and.
- 1:31:04Speaker 5: Fun for me. And you're going to laugh, but I
- 1:31:07Speaker 5: don't actually prepare it that much. it's better for me
- 1:31:11Speaker 5: if I'm just reacting to things I saw and it's
- 1:31:14Speaker 5: a little more spontaneous. And because of that, I don't,
- 1:31:18Speaker 5: I'm not really, I don't feel the clock. I don't
- 1:31:20Speaker 5: feel the time. It really does feel like a conversation.
- 1:31:22Speaker 5: And I'm just, you know, I'm trying to find a
- 1:31:24Speaker 5: creative way to not tell you I'm doing drugs.
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: It is such a great show. His radio shows nine
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: to midnight right here on WOR. You can hear it tonight. Well,
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: what do you have on tonight?
- 1:31:36Speaker 5: Lara Trump is back on the show, presidential daughter-in-law, so
- 1:31:40Speaker 5: that's a good one. And, yeah, that's totally a make-up
- 1:31:43Speaker 5: by her because I invited her on the TV show.
- 1:31:45Speaker 5: She said, no, I'll do radio. She's like, the best
- 1:31:49Speaker 5: I can do is a phone call, Fats. So we'll
- 1:31:51Speaker 5: have Lara Trump. But that's going to be a hot one,
- 1:31:54Speaker 5: and I believe– and Kennedy's coming by, so we'll do some– well,
- 1:31:57Speaker 5: we've got to talk about Columbia House with Kennedy because
- 1:32:00Speaker 5: she's an MTV VJ, of course. Oh, yeah.
- 1:32:03Speaker 6: And she was around in 2008 Columbia.
- 1:32:04Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: Hey, also make sure you watch his TV show, Fox

- 1:32:44Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, sometimes somebody will say, hey, can you
