  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on woo.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Actually I'm not really ready, but it's I already don't
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: like today. It's too hot out. It's really hot and
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: muggy and sticky. And this is not the heat wave.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: This is nothing compared to what it's going to be.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: It's going to be eighty nine today, ninety five tomorrow,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: then one hundred Thursday and Friday, real feel one hundred
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: and eleven and cools off a little Saturday ninety five.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: But there's a big thunderstorm on Saturday and it doesn't
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: look good. Doesn't look good. Well anyway, again, go outside.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: If you don't like this weather, you're not gonna like
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Florida for half the year. So we got a lot
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: to get to. There's some interesting candidates that want to
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: jump in the mayoral race already. We'll get to the
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Great Clive Davis's funeral. We'll get to President Trump, we'll
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: get to Iran, we'll get to the Supreme Court, we'll
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: get to Crazy Mom Dannie, and a whole lot more
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: coming up now. Speaking of this heat wave in Paris,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: when much of Europe, but especially Paris, have been going
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: through a brutal heat wave like what we're going to
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: go through and it's very tough there. You know, thirteen
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: hundred people have died in Europe. You know, out of
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: all the different types of weather that can kill people,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: nothing has caused more deaths than heat, More than floods,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: more than tornadoes. More people have died from heat. It's
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the most dangerous form of weather. So just now in Europe,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: thirteen hundred people have died from this. The last heat
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: wave on this scale was two thousand and three. Fifteen
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: thousand people died in France. Now, one of the reasons
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: is they don't have air conditioning over there. They really don't.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: There's very very little air conditioning. Maybe only twenty five
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: percent of households in France have air conditioning. A you know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: if you looked at Paris, those buildings, you know they're
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: very old, ancient buildings. They just weren't equipped with air conditioning.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And you know, the beautiful, ornate, gorgeous Paris. But you
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: can't just stick a air conditioner in the window there.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: It's not going to look right. But apparently left wing
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Kooki socialists Parisian politicians are blaming the US. They're actually
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: telling French citizens it's all our fault, that they have
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: it worse than we do. It's one hundred and four there.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: But they're telling all of them that it's because of
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: our air conditioning. We have air conditioning everywhere here, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: it's caused a carbon emission and a climate change and
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: that's why they got the heat wave. Of course, none
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: of this is true. There's no connection between carbon emission
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: and this heat wave, none whatsoever. But yeah, she's screaming
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: the ua US there's ninety percent air conditioning. It's really
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: tough when you live in Paris, very very very few
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: buildings or apartments have air conditioning. And the one reason is,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: again the old buildings don't really accommodate it very well.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: And the others they voted in through the years, these
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: left wing kook politicians who don't allow air conditioning, environmental concerns,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: cultural concerns, strict building codes. But the tides are starting
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: to change over there. Summers get hotter and hotter, French
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: people starting to revolt like crazy. Iran. Well, you know,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: there's all kinds of back and forth and up and down,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and you know, you get people that love President Trump,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: just love him, but they're mad about Iran. You know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: you got to remember what Trump. He'll take chances, he'll
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: take risks. He'll just jump in there and take the risk,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: go way out on a limb, and it may go
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: badly for it time, but come back in a month
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: or two and I'll have it all figured out. This
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: is just step seven of twenty seven steps. He'll get
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: it figured out.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Oil prices are way down. They're down to seventy dollars.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: They've been a sixty eight. That's pretty much like pre
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Iran war levels. Now it hasn't come down in the pumps.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: But when the price of oil comes down to normal,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: it takes a while. It can take weeks and weeks
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: for that to make it to the gas pumps. You know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: a lagging thing. President Trump now threatening the oil companies
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: that just bring it down now immediately, which they could do.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: They really could do that. We have more than enough oil.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I know the world price might be different, but we
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: don't depend on the world price. We have since President
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Trump took office and open up drilling everywhere, we now
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: drill more oil than we could ever use. We're now
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the biggest producer of oil in the year in the world.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: We have so much oil that we're just giving it
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: away to other countries, so we could easily bring down
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: the price and not have to worry about what it
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: is anywhere else in the world. So President Trump threatening
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the oil companies bring it down immediately. It's averages three
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: point eighty. He wants it down to two point fifty
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: a gallon, and they could do that. Let's see how
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: they respond to his threats. You know they might. They
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: might take that seriously and bring them right down. Was
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: it Newark Airport where the drone? These guys are on
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: the run. A drone hits a plane. These drones are
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: up there. You know, no matter what happens to a pilot,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: drone could hit the front of the plane. That they
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: stay so calm, listen to these guys just.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Almost ran into a gigantic RC airplane right over there
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: at four centers.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Interesting, he's not on my radar here six kind of
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: talk shutted. Do you think it was like somewhere like
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: a drone or like can you describe it?
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: See a lot of these pilots are from somewhere else.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: They're not in New Yorker's you know New York would go.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: But how was it? But these pilots. We ran into
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: a drone.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Do you think it was like somewhere like a drone
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: or like can you describe it?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: It was just an RC one of the Rogan cold airplanes,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: a big one at five hundred feet.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. They just stay very calm, colliet with a groan
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: back there in the turn.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: You said you collided, Yep, hit right above the cock.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, yeah it is. That was in New York.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: They'd be screaming, they'd be suing somebody, they'd be going
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: nuts over this. So hey, we're talking about Chuck Schumer yesterday,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: who made an absolute fool out of himself at the
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Pride parade. It was absolutely ridiculous. He was being booed
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: like crazy. He's a cheap, tone, deaf, pandering old dinosaur
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: who doesn't even know how to pander anymore. He has
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: this bullhorn. You're not supposed to talk, just marching way.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: He's got a bullhorn. He's yelling at the crowd that
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: he has a gay daughter. He was the first to
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: march in this Pride parade bragging like an idiot. He
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: is so hated right now, he is so loathed it's
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: almost I would say he's actually worse than Cuomo now
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: as far as being loathed by New York. But look
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: at this is CNN. This is the CNN pollster. Schumer
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: is now setting unbelievable new records for the lowest poll
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: numbers ever listened to the CNN pollster.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: Chuck Schumer's net Favrilee rating with Dems now versus the
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: last time Democrats were going for that Senate majority in
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: early twenty twenty. Look at this, Chuck Schumer was forty
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: points above water, very much on the positive side of
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: the ledger with Democrats. Look at this, Look at this change.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: This is nuts. Johnny be Off on the side going,
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: my goodness, gracious, now he's a point underwater with Democrats.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: He is the most hated politician in America, with absolutely
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: no future. It's all over hey. Yesterday with the Clive
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Davis funeral, it began a ten went over there after
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: the show, but it was just the tail end. But
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: a lot of people spoke. Bruce Springsteen, discovered by Clive Davis,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: spoke at the funeral on that day.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: Clive showed a twenty two year old nobody the same warmth,
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: the same kindness, the same respect that he would show
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: me after all my success for the next fifty years.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Springsteen went on to great success, and he became
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: quite the raging left wing lunatic in the process. But
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: you know, that's a musician.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: He guided the listening public towards so much powerful and
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: inspiring music. And he not only loved music, Clive actually
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: loved the people who made the music.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now we love Clive. He was a wonderful guy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I can tell you all kinds of things about I
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: wonderful he was. But he was also a left wing
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: kook when it came to politics. And when you took
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Clive's house when there's a party, there was Don Lemon,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: and there was Gail King and every left wing doubt
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: and then that's just hey, that's that's part of the
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: music business. That's most people in the music business. So uh.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Dion Warwick came in to New York to speak at
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: the at the funeral.
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: You supposed to be talking to him when asked how
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: to you, he was his dear friend who cared about Dion.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: I mean, there was not anything that he ever did
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: that I didn't get the first phone call you will
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: be there right. I don't know if I can make
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: this from leaving. He was always asking where's my dion?
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: All right, not exactly Winston Churchill, but she's a great singer.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: It comes to speak. Hey, Alicia Keys, was there.
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: About music was such reverence, like it was sacred, like
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: it mattered, like it meant something in a world that
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: so often reduces art to commerce and genius to product.
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: You held the line. You reminded me again and again
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: that what we were doing was about truth and legacy
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: and about the human heart reaching out to another human
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: heart and saying you're not alone. When we first met,
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: you told me that he would treat me like Joni Mitchell,
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: and I was like.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Whoa, yeah, quite an emotional funeral. But Clive Davis was
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: an inspiration, not only for his genius in the music business.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: But.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Here was a guy who was out every night, every night.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I don't care how ninety three ninety four. He was
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: out every night, dinner after dinner, after party after party.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: He would do it all weekend. Every weekend. He had
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: forty fifty people at his house. He was I mean,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: nobody lived life more than this guy. And somehow he
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: found plenty of time to work very hard, very dedicated.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: I remember once going to his office at Arista. This
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: is years ago, and people still use cassettes. And if
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: you were an unknown singer and nobody and you're trying
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: to get Clive Davis's attention, you'd send a cassette if
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: you're singing, your band whatever. And I remember in his
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: office against the wall stacks at cassettes up to the ceiling.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Must have been ten fifteen rows of them. Must have
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: been five thousand cassettes there. And those are all people
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: you know, wanted to Clive to sign them or listen.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: So I remember sending them. You're not gonna listen to
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: all those? Are you? He said, I have to listen
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: to all those. The next Beatles could be in that stack.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, you just dedicated, never ever ever stopped working
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: so a lot to get to to day. The city
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Council and the mayor have passed the budget. It is
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: a ridiculous, ludicrous, totally irrational, preposterous one hundred and twenty
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: five billion dollar budget for the City of New York.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: That's absolutely ridiculous. It should probably be fifty billion. It's
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty five billion. That's more than the
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: entire state of Florida, which has three or four major
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: cities and also Florida a much much, much lower budget,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: you get much better services. This is the most out
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: of control, ridiculous budget ever passed. It doesn't contain any
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: more money for police or expansion of police, but it
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: contains big raises for the mayor and the city council.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: The mayor. I mean big raises. I mean not three percent,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: like twenty percent, So the mayor will now be making
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: over three hundred thousand year. Absolutely ridiculous. The preposterous waste
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: of money, waste of taxpayer money going on. You know
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: they talk about billionaires paying their fair share, Let's talk
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: about government collecting their fair share. This is absolutely ridiculous,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: absolutely ridiculous, And you got this crazy governor who will
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: look the other way, afraid to say anything. A lot
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: of people want to run for mayor against this guy now,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: including Dave Portnoy.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I would love to run against. If I was going
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: to run, it would be here. Can I win here?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't know the demographics, whether
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I get enough votes. There's a lot of people who
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: like me in New York City. I know that I've
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: done a lot of good in New York City when
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking about politics, whether it's the barstool fund,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: pizza places, So it wasn't for show.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I've had a real job.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I've done real things, unlike these clown politicians who have
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: never had a job and never been in the real
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: world for a day.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they see. The problem is it's not a sales job.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: It's a manager job. It's not a TV performer job.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: It's a management job. And we've had now three mayors
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: with absolutely no management experience. Mom Donnie's never had a
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: job of any kind before that. Eric Adams a nice guy,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: but he'd never managed anything. He had been the Brooklyn
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Borough president. But that the job has no power to it.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: You're just basically running a chamber of commerce. There's no
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: management there. De Blasio before that was the public advocate. Again,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: it's a no show job, no management experience. Before that,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: you had Bloomberg who was managing multi billion dollar empires.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: You need a manager to run New York. So I
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: love Portnoy, but there's a lot of other notables yelling
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: that they're going to run. But you got to have
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: management experience. You got to know how to run a
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: large organization. You got to know how to negotiate with
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: unions and contractors. And I mean the first thing you
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: gotta do is get the yeah spending down dramatically. The
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: reason the budget is so preposterous is the City of
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: New York overpays by ten thousand percent for everything, just
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: completely wasting tax payer money. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
