- 0:10Speaker 2: Hey look at the calendar september 1st it's september already
- 0:17Speaker 2: i don't know what the hell happened it was just
- 0:19Speaker 2: memorial day weekend it's september now today uh we got
- 0:23Speaker 2: a lot to get to get to that uh Crazy
- 0:26Speaker 2: Mamdani and his latest nonsense.
- 0:28Speaker 1: We'll get to Howard Stern. We'll get to Anna Wintour.
- 0:32Speaker 1: She may have finally done herself in. I think she's
- 0:35Speaker 1: going to be out pretty soon. We'll get to President Trump, Iran.
- 0:39Speaker 1: We'll get to data centers. We'll get to the midterms
- 0:44Speaker 1: and a whole lot more coming up. Now, the president,
- 0:47Speaker 1: I'm looking at his schedule. One of the meetings today,
- 0:49Speaker 1: 1 o'clock, he meets with the leaders of the American
- 0:52Speaker 1: oil industry. Now, there's no reason for the price to
- 0:58Speaker 1: be this high. We have more oil now than we've
- 1:00Speaker 1: ever had before. You know, this Venezuela oil deal where
- 1:05Speaker 1: we won't own the oil, but we'll control the oil
- 1:07Speaker 1: out of Venezuela. Once that goes through, we will now have,
- 1:13Speaker 1: the United States will now have 80% of the world's
- 1:17Speaker 1: oil supply.
- 1:18Speaker 2: 80%.
- 1:19Speaker 1: You remember when we used to have to worry about
- 1:22Speaker 1: the Saudis or the cartel of raising the price of oil? Well,
- 1:25Speaker 1: we're the cartel now. We're it. We have 80% of
- 1:30Speaker 1: the world's oil supply. Thanks to President Trump when he
- 1:33Speaker 1: took office opening up all that drilling. Unlike Biden who
- 1:36Speaker 1: closed it down, that's why he had gas up to
- 1:39Speaker 1: $ 5 a gallon, but President Trump opened up the drilling everywhere.
- 1:43Speaker 1: We are now the biggest producer of oil in the world.
- 1:47Speaker 1: We make more oil than we could ever use. We're
- 1:49Speaker 1: the biggest exporter of oil. We are Saudi Arabia now.
- 1:53Speaker 1: We're the oil supplier of the world. But the prices
- 1:56Speaker 1: are not that high. They're way below Joe Biden levels.
- 2:00Speaker 1: But they're too high. So the president will meet with
- 2:03Speaker 1: the leaders of the oil industry. The meeting is not
- 2:06Speaker 1: to just yell at them to lower the prices. The
- 2:08Speaker 1: meeting is other things. We're going to put back all
- 2:12Speaker 1: the oil in the strategic reserve. Remember, Biden kept draining it.
- 2:16Speaker 1: The Strategic Oil Reserve, very important. That's our oil supply
- 2:20Speaker 1: in a time of war, total catastrophe. And I'm going
- 2:25Speaker 1: to work with the oil companies to fill that up.
- 2:27Speaker 1: By the way, the president very quietly setting up a
- 2:31Speaker 1: strategic medicine reserve. You know, we don't make a lot
- 2:36Speaker 1: of our medicine. Some of our most vital medicines, life-saving stuff,
- 2:41Speaker 1: our antibiotics, they're all made in China. So in the
- 2:44Speaker 1: case of the worst emergency, war, whatever, we could be
- 2:48Speaker 1: cut off from our supply of medicine. So the president
- 2:51Speaker 1: creating a huge stockpile of medicine, and it's a good idea.
- 2:56Speaker 1: It should have been done before. The president wants to
- 2:58Speaker 1: make sure we're totally covered in case of any emergency.
- 3:01Speaker 3: We have a strategic reserve that is amazing that a
- 3:04Speaker 3: lot of people don't know about, but they've just built
- 3:07Speaker 3: it up, topping it out. These materials are critical for
- 3:12Speaker 3: life-saving medicine. medicines used to treat seizures, bacterial infections, high
- 3:16Speaker 3: blood pressure, and organ failure. And especially in times of need,
- 3:21Speaker 3: we have a stockpile and it's an amazing thing.
- 3:24Speaker 1: And very good idea. By the way, the president has
- 3:28Speaker 1: done a lot of things recently that brought down the
- 3:29Speaker 1: price of medicine everywhere. You know, people may have noticed
- 3:33Speaker 1: you buy your medicine here, it's $ 300. You're in London,
- 3:35Speaker 1: it's $ 15. You're in Paris, it's $ 12. So He's taken
- 3:41Speaker 1: steps to make sure that these companies and governments start
- 3:47Speaker 1: equalizing the prices everywhere.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Now other countries are paying more so that Americans can
- 3:52Speaker 3: pay less. We had to get their prices up in
- 3:55Speaker 3: order to get our prices down. And they went up
- 3:58Speaker 3: very considerably, and we went down by much more because
- 4:01Speaker 3: the world is a bigger place.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Very good idea. Why didn't every other president do that?
- 4:07Speaker 1: I don't know, because they're politicians. getting massive donations from
- 4:10Speaker 1: those drug companies. They're not going to bother anybody. You
- 4:14Speaker 1: know what? Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Netanyahu's son has been living
- 4:19Speaker 1: in Miami all this time. Well, there was a very,
- 4:23Speaker 1: very serious threat against him. Iran apparently about to kill him.
- 4:29Speaker 1: He was quickly evacuated last night, emergency evacuation from the
- 4:35Speaker 1: United States. He's no longer in the country, but that's a,
- 4:38Speaker 1: what Iran has come to, trying to kill people's children,
- 4:41Speaker 1: trying to go after Barron Trump. And apparently a very
- 4:45Speaker 1: serious threat was detected against Netanyahu's son. And he was
- 4:49Speaker 1: quickly removed from the country. I assume he's back in Israel.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Nobody knows exactly where he's gone to. But, hey, the
- 4:57Speaker 1: president got approval for the ballroom. The Supreme Court ruled
- 5:01Speaker 1: on it. The ballroom can continue construction tomorrow. Now, nobody
- 5:06Speaker 1: builds faster than professional builders like Trump. If the government
- 5:10Speaker 1: were to build that ballroom, it'd be a 15-year project. Seriously,
- 5:13Speaker 1: it'd be 15 years to get that thing built. And
- 5:16Speaker 1: it would go over budget by 10,000%. But it's President Trump,
- 5:23Speaker 1: who's a professional builder, and he's built hundreds of ballrooms.
- 5:27Speaker 1: So this will go pretty fast. Still, it's going to
- 5:29Speaker 1: take almost a year to get it up. It may
- 5:33Speaker 1: not even be done until the end of next year,
- 5:35Speaker 1: which will be the end of the president's term. So
- 5:37Speaker 1: he might not get to use this ballroom. Now, it's
- 5:41Speaker 1: not just a ballroom. Underneath important military stuff, there'll be
- 5:45Speaker 1: a security bunker. There'll be a modern situation room. If
- 5:49Speaker 1: you've seen the video in the old situation room, the
- 5:52Speaker 1: current situation room, it's like a den from 1975 with
- 5:55Speaker 1: like a VHS machine and.
- 6:01Speaker 1: And old Zenith TVs, and it's old. The new Situation
- 6:05Speaker 1: Room will be absolutely state-of-the-art. The ballroom, the construction will
- 6:11Speaker 1: start probably today. There's hundreds of workers he's got working.
- 6:15Speaker 1: This will drive the left and the media crazy. These
- 6:20Speaker 1: White House reporters, as they come in and out of
- 6:22Speaker 1: the White, they're going to hear all that construction. They're
- 6:24Speaker 1: going to see the ballroom being built. It's going to
- 6:26Speaker 1: drive them nuts. Now, let me just warn you about
- 6:29Speaker 1: the next controversy. The president is now going to renovate
- 6:35Speaker 1: the bowling alley in the White House. There's actually two
- 6:38Speaker 1: bowling alleys. There's a two-lane bowling alley that's across the street,
- 6:43Speaker 1: the Eisenhower office building. And there's a one-lane bowling alley
- 6:47Speaker 1: in the White House for the president and his family. Now,
- 6:52Speaker 1: Truman was a big bowler. I think he's the one
- 6:55Speaker 1: that built the two-lane bowling alley. bowling alley. Eisenhower was
- 6:58Speaker 1: a golfer, not a bowler, and he had no need
- 7:01Speaker 1: for this two-lane bowling alley. So he had it moved
- 7:04Speaker 1: to the Eisenhower office building, but they kept a one-lane
- 7:08Speaker 1: bowling alley in the White House. You know who was
- 7:09Speaker 1: a big bowler? It was Nixon. He loved bowling. So
- 7:15Speaker 1: I guarantee you, Donald Trump is not a bowler, not
- 7:18Speaker 1: going to go bowling. It's not something that interests him.
- 7:21Speaker 1: It's an old-fashioned kind of sport. You know, who goes bowling?
- 7:25Speaker 1: Ralph Cramden goes bowling. Archie Bunker goes bowling. It's an old-fashioned.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Remember Ralph with the bowling team?
- 7:33Speaker 2: All right.
- 7:34Speaker 1: King of Queens. Doug Heffernan was on the bowling team.
- 7:37Speaker 1: All right. But it's not a Donald Trump type of sport.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Not going to happen. But he's going to spend. Now,
- 7:44Speaker 1: they're going to make a stink about this. The left
- 7:47Speaker 1: and the media will find a reason to go crazy
- 7:49Speaker 1: over this. But he's only going to spend. You know,
- 7:51Speaker 1: it's not like building a golf course where it's $ 12 million.
- 7:53Speaker 1: To redo the bowling alley? 250,000. Trump's got that much
- 7:59Speaker 1: on him.
- 7:59Speaker 2: 250,000.
- 7:59Speaker 1: This is for both bowling facilities. They'll rebuild them completely.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Apparently got to modernize it with all the latest digital everything.
- 8:09Speaker 1: So the ballroom will continue. You know, President also doing
- 8:14Speaker 1: a lot of work at Bedminster. You know what Mar-a-Lago
- 8:16Speaker 1: looks like. It's magnificent. It's like a palace. It's a resort.
- 8:20Speaker 1: It's got ballrooms. It's got every restaurants. It's got, well, Bedminster,
- 8:25Speaker 1: The club he has in New Jersey is a much
- 8:27Speaker 1: smaller club. It's got a very nice golf course. And
- 8:29Speaker 1: it's got a clubhouse with a restaurant and a bar
- 8:32Speaker 1: and a little bit of a party room, not much.
- 8:35Speaker 1: But he's going to turn that into more of a Mar-a-Lago.
- 8:38Speaker 1: He got the okay from the township to build a ballroom.
- 8:41Speaker 1: There's going to be a huge ballroom now, a massive
- 8:45Speaker 1: ballroom at Bedminster. He's going to have to build an
- 8:47Speaker 1: additional parking lot as part of the deal. He'll have
- 8:50Speaker 1: to build, add on to the sewer system. So they're
- 8:54Speaker 1: going to handle all this. And there's a lot of
- 8:57Speaker 1: property there. He's going to probably start building some other
- 9:00Speaker 1: buildings there, his own residence. Because when he leaves the
- 9:03Speaker 1: White House, he's got to have somewhere to go. You know,
- 9:06Speaker 1: the problem is, he used to obviously live in Trump Tower.
- 9:10Speaker 1: And I always think of him there because that's where
- 9:11Speaker 1: I always saw him, in Trump Tower, in his apartment,
- 9:14Speaker 1: in his office. Trump Tower, beautiful building, 56th and 5th.
- 9:18Speaker 1: But now when I walk by and look at it,
- 9:20Speaker 1: I realize he can't live there. You know, if you've
- 9:23Speaker 1: been president, if you live in the White House with the,
- 9:26Speaker 1: hundreds of people around you military secret service same thing
- 9:31Speaker 1: in mar-a-lago it's an enormous it's it's bigger than the
- 9:34Speaker 1: white house it's got everything there's military all over the
- 9:37Speaker 1: place secret service millions of people he can't go back
- 9:41Speaker 1: to uh just an apartment building with a doorman it's
- 9:44Speaker 1: going to be too small for a guy like this
- 9:46Speaker 1: he's not going to be able to so i think
- 9:48Speaker 1: that's why a lot of construction about to take place
- 9:50Speaker 1: at bedminster That'll become the summer Trump residence. Mar-a-Lago will
- 9:56Speaker 1: become the winter residence. So the data centers, the controversy continues. Now,
- 10:04Speaker 1: about two years from now, three years from now, a
- 10:07Speaker 1: data center is going to be like a Starbucks. There'll
- 10:09Speaker 1: be one everywhere. It'll be a common thing. They don't
- 10:12Speaker 1: bother anybody. They don't harm anybody. There's nothing dangerous about it.
- 10:15Speaker 1: You know, there'll Democrats always, any election, they've got to
- 10:19Speaker 1: find a demon, a boogeyman to fight against. You know,
- 10:22Speaker 1: they used to use nuclear reactors. You know, nuclear reactors
- 10:26Speaker 1: were the most dangerous. Why, if there's a nuclear reactor
- 10:28Speaker 1: within a thousand miles of your life, is it... No
- 10:31Speaker 1: truth to that. Nobody's ever had a problem in this
- 10:34Speaker 1: country with nuclear reactors. You know, even Three Mile Island,
- 10:37Speaker 1: when it melted down, nobody was killed. Nobody was... What
- 10:41Speaker 1: was the old joke they used to use? More people
- 10:43Speaker 1: have died... in Ted Kennedy's car than in nuclear accidents
- 10:47Speaker 1: in this country. So it's the same thing with a
- 10:51Speaker 1: data center. It's just a big, enormous building. It's a
- 10:54Speaker 1: massive building. It's just a building. What are you so
- 10:57Speaker 1: scared of? All right, it makes a lot of noise.
- 11:00Speaker 1: It's a very noisy building. And the noise, you can
- 11:03Speaker 1: hear it from a half a mile away, but it's
- 11:05Speaker 1: the same thing with LaGuardia or Kennedy Airport. Look where
- 11:09Speaker 1: LaGuardia is. It's right in the middle of a residential area.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Look where Kennedy is. It's right in the middle of
- 11:14Speaker 1: a bunch of residential towns. Makes a hell of a
- 11:17Speaker 1: lot more noise than the data center. So it's going
- 11:20Speaker 1: to be like that. And they'll figure out how to
- 11:21Speaker 1: get that noise quieter and quieter. The problem of it
- 11:24Speaker 1: using up everybody's electricity, well, that's been exaggerated. And they'll
- 11:29Speaker 1: have that solved pretty soon. They'll have these little mini
- 11:32Speaker 1: nuclear reactors in there. They'll use hydrogen power. And they
- 11:36Speaker 1: won't bother anybody's electricity. The forests, they're using too much
- 11:39Speaker 1: water supply. They're recycling water now. They don't use that
- 11:42Speaker 1: much water. And they'll figure out the noise. But the
- 11:45Speaker 1: data centers, even the unions are getting behind these data
- 11:50Speaker 1: centers because when they build one, it's a massive building.
- 11:52Speaker 1: And all you see are thousands of hardhats. It's a
- 11:56Speaker 1: lot of jobs, construction jobs. It creates a lot of jobs,
- 11:59Speaker 1: a lot of activity. You know, they're spending like, I
- 12:03Speaker 1: can't remember, all together they're going to spend like $ 5
- 12:05Speaker 1: trillion building these data centers. One thing they should do,
- 12:09Speaker 1: these companies building these data centers, take a few million
- 12:13Speaker 1: and start advertising to the community. Do a campaign to
- 12:17Speaker 1: show them how not so bad and it's pretty helpful.
- 12:21Speaker 1: And also, you could start sending out checks to people.
- 12:24Speaker 1: You know, pay their electric bills. It's pocket change for
- 12:27Speaker 1: a data center. But... A lot of communities want them.
- 12:31Speaker 1: They create jobs. Listen to President Trump.
- 12:33Speaker 5: I'm only saying that if I ran a community, now
- 12:35Speaker 5: there are different types of communities, but generally speaking, if
- 12:39Speaker 5: I ran a community, if I was a mayor or
- 12:41Speaker 5: if I was a governor in the state, I would
- 12:44Speaker 5: want to have the data centers because they bring tremendous income.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Let him build a data center. He built a data center.
- 12:53Speaker 1: It would be gold everywhere. The data center would have
- 12:55Speaker 1: a ballroom. It would have a heliport. Anyway, so the
- 13:01Speaker 1: latest on Iran, the situation, very, very grim for the Iranians.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Very grim. Even, well, their leader saying the country's about
- 13:11Speaker 1: to collapse economically. Inflation is like 150%. There is video
- 13:18Speaker 1: leaking out of Iran. You know, people with their phones
- 13:21Speaker 1: making videos. You can see ridiculously long gas lines. supermarkets
- 13:27Speaker 1: with no food in them. It's a bad situation over there.
- 13:30Speaker 1: They don't really know. In my opinion, they don't know
- 13:32Speaker 1: who the leader is.
- 13:33Speaker 3: You have the radicals, but they've been wiped out from
- 13:37Speaker 3: the standpoint of the military because the military is just
- 13:39Speaker 3: a fraction of what it was.
- 13:42Speaker 1: I don't really think they know who their leader is. Now,
- 13:44Speaker 1: that's the other problem. Negotiating with, you don't know who
- 13:48Speaker 1: you're negotiating with. And whoever you negotiate over there is
- 13:50Speaker 1: always lying. As they always say, Iran loses every war
- 13:53Speaker 1: and wins every negotiation. Because whatever they agree to, they
- 13:56Speaker 1: don't follow. Scott Besson has become one of the great
- 13:59Speaker 1: generals in this war, wiping out their economy. Good for him.
- 14:04Speaker 1: And he's leading the charge against Canada, which is battling
- 14:09Speaker 1: the U.S. Besson even yesterday saying, what's the worst they
- 14:12Speaker 1: could do to us? Send their two old submarines after us?
- 14:16Speaker 1: But you remember the Canadian leader, Carney? Always after the U.S.,
- 14:21Speaker 1: as Besson reminded everybody. He came to power on an anti-American,
- 14:27Speaker 1: anti-Trump agenda. He was 20 points behind in the poll.
- 14:30Speaker 1: And then he started this.
- 14:31Speaker 4: And it's unfortunate that he's not doing what's best for
- 14:34Speaker 4: the Canadian people. He's doing what is best for the
- 14:37Speaker 4: Liberal Party, what's best for Mark Carney. And in the
- 14:39Speaker 4: long run, the Canadian people are going to see through that.
- 14:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 14:43Speaker 1: So, don't worry about the Canadian stuff. It'll blow over
- 14:47Speaker 1: in a little while. Now, we'll get to Anna Wintour,
- 14:51Speaker 1: who runs the Met Gala, the most expensive party in
- 14:55Speaker 1: the world. She has really screwed up this time. She's
- 15:00Speaker 1: in trouble. I think they're going to toss her out
- 15:02Speaker 1: of there at any moment. We'll get to that in
- 15:05Speaker 1: a second. Also, there's some real questions about her character now.
- 15:11Speaker 1: I don't mean being cold and mean, but being a
- 15:13Speaker 1: real anti-Semite. And we'll get to that coming up. We'll
- 15:17Speaker 1: get to the midterms. We'll get to Howard Stern and
- 15:20Speaker 1: his new job. And we'll get to our crazy little mayor,
- 15:24Speaker 1: crazy little Mom Donnie. Although he did one good thing yesterday.
- 15:28Speaker 1: We'll get to all of that coming up. It's Mark
- 15:30Speaker 1: Simone here. Nine to noon every day. Don't forget, it's three. Well,
- 15:35Speaker 1: you're listening right now. You must know it's three hours.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Nine to noon. But let everybody else know. Nine to
- 15:41Speaker 1: noon every weekday here on 710WOR.
