  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show, now nine till noon weekdays on 710WOR.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Well, let's take some calls. Let's go to Joe Elmwood Park. Joe,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Last week, our beautiful governor put a legislation that you
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: could take your cocktails out of the restaurant. Like, we
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: don't have enough drunks, and now we've got potheads on
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: the road. Instead of lowering our taxes and lowering our
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: utility bills.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Well, the restaurant's kind of lobbied for that because if
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: they could have drinks to go, they can make a
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: lot more money. True.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: And, oh, on 60 Minutes, why don't you have Pierce
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Morgan or Ricky Gervais for Andy Rooney's spot?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: No, I think I don't want it. Pierce Morgan, he's
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a little annoying. Yeah, Ricky Gervais would be good, but
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: he's too big. He's too big to do it. They've
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: been offering it. Remember the old Andy Rooney? Did you
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: ever notice that spot? They asked Seinfeld to do it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: He's too big, way too big to do that. Ricky Gervais,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: too big to do that. Let's go to Ralph in Manhattan. Ralph,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: how you doing? You know, Mark, I don't buy that
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: conspiracy theory that it's been covered up, the ground zero thing.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: You know, you would think in 25 years time, the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: thing would come out.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Why now?
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And how did they? Because it was covered up and
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: it was buried in boxes in the basement. Bloomberg's not
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: going to bother. de Blasio never showed up, but he's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: not looking through anything. Mamdani, he's trying to discredit Giuliani.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: He's trying to discredit Pataki and all those. people, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: it's a good way to try to discredit them. So
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: he found it. Well, that's the whole thing. Mamdani taking
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the advantage of the whole thing and coming out with
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: this at this time.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: You got to look with a jaundiced eye at this thing,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: don't you think?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, it's a good thing to release
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the truth and let us know what happened, but his
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: motives are bad here, but it's a good thing in
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the end, I guess. Let's go to John in Long Island. John,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, Mark, thank you. Love your show every day.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: The other day, you brought up the expansion of the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: White House, Mark, okay? And I don't think that even
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Democrats don't understand. He's doing a favor to the future
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: generations and the future administrations of presidents of the United States.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: What he's building there, I've seen the renderings. It's going
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to be gorgeous.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's Trump. It's Trump. They don't like Trump.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but I'm just talking about the building itself.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Years ago... I'm an architect. The standard of designing concrete
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: was 4,000 pounds per square inch. When they built the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: new Freedom Tower, that was designed with a whole new
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: aspect of concrete science at 15,000 pounds per square inch.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I can imagine now what they're building for the expansion
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: over there at the White House. There's going to be
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: something really amazingly durable and resistant.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: He's using what they call nuclear concrete. which is used
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: in nuclear plants. Apparently, it's absolutely indestructible. Trump's saying you
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: can take a jackhammer and go at it for two
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: days and not even make a mark on it. The
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: reason he's doing that is he believes Democrats will try
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: to tear down his ballroom. So this nuclear concrete and
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: this very, very special kind of steel you can't remove
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: will make it impossible to tear it down. Let's go
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: to Robert in Manhattan. Robert, how are you doing?
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Very good, Mark. How are you doing?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Everybody asks you how you're doing.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: That's okay.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: I'm answering that question.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: No, it's fine. Remember Bob Grant, he'd get mad when
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: he asked that. He'd yell at you.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: It's fine. There's so much disinformation out there about data centers. Yes.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Out of control. Yeah. First of all, people will be
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: very much surprised to know that 19 enterprise carrier class
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: data centers exist right now in lower Manhattan.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we mentioned that the other day. There's actually 22 now.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: And one is an entire city block.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we already have. They've been there for.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Years and are expanded all the time. Nobody cares. We
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: have 72 data centers in all of the five boroughs.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've mentioned that. They're all over the place in
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: New York.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't know you mentioned that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point. But we have data centers.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: They're right in New York City. There's a couple in Manhattan.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: We've already had data centers all over. These are just
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: bigger data centers. They will make a little more noise.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: The reason I guess you didn't notice them in Manhattan,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: who's going to notice noise in Manhattan? Wherever you live
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: in New York City, sometimes there's a noise outside your
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: window in the middle of the night all night. It's
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Con Edison drilling, digging up the street or something like that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich, how are
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: you doing?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Mark. You know, this AI thing is real because,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you know, one person, Greg Gutfeld, was way ahead of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the field in this stuff. But I saw the guy
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: on Fox this morning saying that they put AI in
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: two or three solitary confinement positions. And those three AI
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: solitary confinements found a way to hack out of their
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: solitary confinement, merge with each other, and start hacking into
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: other stuff. And Cyberdyne is coming. I'm telling you. They
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: better watch out. All right.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Calm down.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Calm down. Take it easy. Everything will be fine.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: And here's one for you. My gas went up 20
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: cents overnight. It's now 390 down here.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Wait. Give me a minute. I'm just
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: shaking up here.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I talked to Vincent yesterday afternoon or yesterday evening. What
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: do you mean you talked to Vincent?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: What do you mean you talked to Vincent?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he and I talk almost every single week about
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: fishing and all kinds of stuff.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: How did you get Vincent's number?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: That's a long story, but I got it. Anybody can
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: look me up. I had my own TV radio show
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: for 25 years. You and I spoke a bit. Oh,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that's right.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: It was called The Tonight Show, right? You hosted that?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: That's right. What was it called?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Jay Leno beat me out of it. That's right.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: What was the show called?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: It was called The Fishing Line. I did a fishing show.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You and I had this conversation about how much you
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: hate fishing and stuff like that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I don't hate it. It's a little boring. If you're
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: a big drinker, it's great. You sit there and drink
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: while you fish.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: In a lawn chair at Field 6 at Jones Beach.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you like sitting in a chair drinking beer,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: it's a great hobby.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Soak some clams looking for striped bass. But if you
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: know what you're doing, it's very exciting and very profitable.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Calm down. Exciting is not the word. Enjoyable.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Mark.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Exciting. I don't know. Anyway, thanks for calling. Hey, when
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: we come back, Ann Coulter will be with us next.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Lots to talk to her about. Coming up on 710WOR.
