- 0:01Speaker 1: Now, 710WOR presents The Mark Simone Show.
- 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. We got a
- 0:23Speaker 2: lot to get to. We'll get to that tomorrow. Crazy
- 0:26Speaker 2: Mamdani and his latest nonsense. We'll get to Howard Stern.
- 0:30Speaker 2: We'll get to Anna Wintour. She may have finally done
- 0:34Speaker 2: herself in. I think she's going to be out pretty soon.
- 0:37Speaker 2: We'll get to President Trump, Iran. We'll get to data centers.
- 0:42Speaker 2: We'll get to the midterms and a whole lot more
- 0:45Speaker 2: coming up.
- 0:46Speaker 3: Now, the president, I'm looking at his schedule. One of
- 0:49Speaker 3: the meetings today, 1 o'clock, he meets with the leaders
- 0:51Speaker 3: of the American oil industry. Now, there's no reason for
- 0:57Speaker 3: the price to be this high. We have more oil
- 1:00Speaker 3: now than we've ever had before. You know, this Venezuela
- 1:03Speaker 3: oil deal where we won't own the oil, but we'll
- 1:06Speaker 3: control the oil out of Venezuela. Once that goes through,
- 1:11Speaker 3: we will now have, the United States will now have 80%
- 1:16Speaker 3: of the world's oil supply. 80%. You remember when we
- 1:21Speaker 3: used to have to worry about the Saudis or the
- 1:23Speaker 3: cartel of raising the price of oil? Well, we're the
- 1:25Speaker 3: cartel now. We're it. We have 80% of the world's
- 1:30Speaker 3: oil supply. Thanks to President Trump when he took office
- 1:34Speaker 3: opening up all that drilling. Unlike Biden who closed it down,
- 1:38Speaker 3: that's why he had gas up to $ 5 a gallon,
- 1:40Speaker 3: but President Trump opened up the drilling everywhere. We are
- 1:43Speaker 3: now the biggest producer of oil in the world. We
- 1:47Speaker 3: make more oil than we could ever use. We're the
- 1:49Speaker 3: biggest exporter of oil. We are Saudi Arabia now. We're
- 1:53Speaker 3: the oil supplier of the world. But the prices are
- 1:57Speaker 3: not that high. They're way below Joe Biden levels. But
- 2:01Speaker 3: they're too high. So the president will meet with the
- 2:03Speaker 3: leaders of the oil industry. Now, the meeting is not
- 2:06Speaker 3: to just yell at them to lower the prices. The
- 2:08Speaker 3: meeting is other things. We're going to put back all
- 2:12Speaker 3: the oil in the strategic reserve. Remember, Biden kept draining it.
- 2:17Speaker 3: The Strategic Oil Reserve, very important. That's our oil supply
- 2:20Speaker 3: in a time of war, total catastrophe. And I'm going
- 2:25Speaker 3: to work with the oil companies to fill that up.
- 2:27Speaker 3: By the way, the president very quietly setting up a
- 2:31Speaker 3: strategic medicine reserve. You know, we don't make a lot
- 2:36Speaker 3: of our medicine. Some of our most vital medicines, life-saving stuff,
- 2:41Speaker 3: our antibiotics, they're all made in China. So in the
- 2:44Speaker 3: case of the worst emergency, war, whatever, we could be
- 2:48Speaker 3: cut off from our supply of medicine. So the president
- 2:51Speaker 3: creating a huge stockpile of medicine, and it's a good idea.
- 2:56Speaker 3: It should have been done before. The president wants to
- 2:58Speaker 3: make sure we're totally covered in case of any emergency.
- 3:01Speaker 4: We have a strategic reserve that is amazing that a
- 3:04Speaker 4: lot of people don't know about, but they've just built
- 3:07Speaker 4: it up, topping it out. These materials are critical for
- 3:12Speaker 4: life-saving people. medicines used to treat seizures, bacterial infections, high
- 3:17Speaker 4: blood pressure, and organ failure, and especially in times of need,
- 3:21Speaker 4: we have a stockpile, and it's an amazing thing.
- 3:25Speaker 3: And very good idea. By the way, the president's done
- 3:28Speaker 3: a lot of things recently that brought down the price
- 3:30Speaker 3: of medicine everywhere. You know, people may have noticed you
- 3:33Speaker 3: buy your medicine here, it's $ 300. You're in London, it's $ 15.
- 3:36Speaker 3: You're in Paris, it's $ 12. So, He's taken steps to
- 3:42Speaker 3: make sure that these companies and governments start equalizing the
- 3:48Speaker 3: prices everywhere.
- 3:49Speaker 5: Now other countries are paying more so that Americans can
- 3:53Speaker 5: pay less. We had to get their prices up in
- 3:55Speaker 5: order to get our prices down. And they went up
- 3:59Speaker 5: very considerably, and we went down by much more because
- 4:02Speaker 5: the world is a bigger place.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Very good idea. Why didn't every other president do that?
- 4:07Speaker 3: I don't know, because they're politicians. getting massive donations from
- 4:10Speaker 3: those drug companies. They're not going to bother anybody. You
- 4:14Speaker 3: know what? Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Netanyahu's son has been living
- 4:19Speaker 3: in Miami all this time. Well, there was a very,
- 4:23Speaker 3: very serious threat against him. Iran apparently about to kill him.
- 4:28Speaker 3: He was quickly evacuated last night, emergency evacuation from the
- 4:35Speaker 3: United States. He's no longer in the country, but that's a,
- 4:38Speaker 3: What Iran has come to, trying to kill people's children,
- 4:42Speaker 3: trying to go after Barron Trump. And apparently a very
- 4:46Speaker 3: serious threat was detected against Netanyahu's son. And he was
- 4:49Speaker 3: quickly removed from the country. I assume he's back in Israel.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Nobody knows exactly where he's gone to. But, hey, the
- 4:57Speaker 3: president got approval for the ballroom. The Supreme Court ruled
- 5:01Speaker 3: on it. The ballroom can continue construction tomorrow. Now, nobody
- 5:06Speaker 3: builds faster than professional builders like Trump. If the government
- 5:10Speaker 3: were to build that ballroom, it'd be a 15-year project. Seriously,
- 5:13Speaker 3: it'd be 15 years to get that thing built. And
- 5:16Speaker 3: it would go over budget by 10,000%. But it's President Trump,
- 5:23Speaker 3: who's a professional builder, and he's built hundreds of ballrooms.
- 5:27Speaker 3: So this will go pretty fast. Still, it's going to
- 5:30Speaker 3: take almost a year to get it up. It may
- 5:33Speaker 3: not even be done until the end of next year,
- 5:35Speaker 3: which will be the end of the president's term. So
- 5:37Speaker 3: he might not get to use this ballroom. Now, it's
- 5:41Speaker 3: not just a ballroom. Underneath important military stuff, there'll be
- 5:45Speaker 3: a security bunker. There'll be a modern situation room. If
- 5:50Speaker 3: you've seen the video in the old situation room, the
- 5:52Speaker 3: current situation room, it's like a den from 1975 with
- 5:55Speaker 3: like a VHS machine and.
- 6:01Speaker 3: And old Zenith TVs, and it's old. The new Situation
- 6:05Speaker 3: Room will be absolutely state-of-the-art. The ballroom, the construction will
- 6:12Speaker 3: start probably today. There's hundreds of workers he's got working.
- 6:15Speaker 3: This will drive the left and the media crazy. These
- 6:20Speaker 3: White House reporters, as they come in and out of
- 6:22Speaker 3: the White, they're going to hear all that construction. They're
- 6:24Speaker 3: going to see the ballroom being built. It's going to
- 6:26Speaker 3: drive them nuts. Now, let me just warn you about
- 6:29Speaker 3: the next controversy. The president is now going to renovate
- 6:35Speaker 3: the bowling alley in the White House. There's actually two
- 6:38Speaker 3: bowling alleys. There's a two-lane bowling alley that's across the street,
- 6:43Speaker 3: the Eisenhower office building. And there's a one-lane bowling alley
- 6:48Speaker 3: in the White House for the president and his family. Now,
- 6:52Speaker 3: Truman was a big bowler. I think he's the one
- 6:55Speaker 3: that built the two-lane bowling alley. bowling alley. Eisenhower was
- 6:58Speaker 3: a golfer, not a bowler, and he had no need
- 7:01Speaker 3: for this two-lane bowling alley. So he had it moved
- 7:04Speaker 3: to the Eisenhower office building, but they kept a one-lane
- 7:08Speaker 3: bowling alley in the White House. You know who was
- 7:10Speaker 3: a big bowler? It was Nixon. He loved bowling. So
- 7:16Speaker 3: I guarantee you, Donald Trump is not a bowler, not
- 7:18Speaker 3: going to go bowling. It's not something that interests him.
- 7:21Speaker 3: It's an old-fashioned kind of sport. You know, who goes bowling?
- 7:25Speaker 3: Ralph Cramden goes bowling. Archie Bunker goes bowling. It's an old-fashioned.
- 7:30Speaker 3: Remember Ralph with the bowling team? All right. King of Queens.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Doug Heffernan was on the bowling team. All right. But
- 7:38Speaker 3: it's not a Donald Trump type of sport. Not going
- 7:42Speaker 3: to happen. But he's going to spend. Now, they're going
- 7:45Speaker 3: to make a stink about this. The left and the
- 7:47Speaker 3: media will find a reason to go crazy over this.
- 7:50Speaker 3: But he's only going to spend. You know, it's not
- 7:52Speaker 3: like building a golf course where it's $ 12 million. To
- 7:54Speaker 3: redo the bowling alley? $ 250, 000. Trump's got that much on him. $ 250, 000.
- 7:59Speaker 3: This is for both bowling facilities. They'll rebuild them completely. Apparently,
- 8:05Speaker 3: they've got to modernize it with all the latest digital everything.
- 8:10Speaker 3: So the ballroom will continue. You know, the president is
- 8:13Speaker 3: also doing a lot of work at Bedminster. You know
- 8:16Speaker 3: what Mar-a-Lago looks like. It's magnificent. It's like a palace.
- 8:19Speaker 7: It's a resort.
- 8:20Speaker 3: It's got ballrooms. It's got every restaurant. Well, Bedminster... The
- 8:25Speaker 3: club he has in New Jersey is a much smaller club.
- 8:27Speaker 3: It's got a very nice golf course. And it's got
- 8:30Speaker 3: a clubhouse with a restaurant and a bar and a
- 8:33Speaker 3: little bit of a party room, not much. But he's
- 8:35Speaker 3: going to turn that into more of a Mar-a-Lago. He
- 8:38Speaker 3: got the okay from the township to build a ballroom.
- 8:41Speaker 3: There's going to be a huge ballroom now, a massive
- 8:45Speaker 3: ballroom at Bedminster. He's going to have to build an
- 8:48Speaker 3: additional parking lot as part of the deal. He'll have
- 8:50Speaker 3: to build, add on to the sewer system. So they're
- 8:54Speaker 3: going to handle all this. And there's a lot of
- 8:57Speaker 3: property there. He's going to probably start building some other
- 9:00Speaker 3: buildings there, his own residence. Because when he leaves the
- 9:04Speaker 3: White House, he's got to have somewhere to go. You know,
- 9:06Speaker 3: the problem is, he used to obviously live in Trump Tower.
- 9:10Speaker 3: And I always think of him there because that's where
- 9:12Speaker 3: I always saw him, in Trump Tower, in his apartment,
- 9:14Speaker 3: in his office. Trump Tower, beautiful building, 56th and 5th.
- 9:18Speaker 3: But now when I walk by and look at it,
- 9:20Speaker 3: I realize he can't live there. You know, if you've
- 9:23Speaker 3: been president, if you live in the White House with the,
- 9:26Speaker 3: hundreds of people around you, military, Secret Service. Same thing
- 9:31Speaker 3: in Mar-a-Lago. It's an enormous, it's bigger than the White House.
- 9:35Speaker 3: It's got everything. There's military all over the place, Secret Service,
- 9:39Speaker 3: millions of people. You can't go back to just an
- 9:41Speaker 3: apartment building with a doorman. It's going to be too
- 9:45Speaker 3: small for a guy like this. He's not going to
- 9:47Speaker 3: be able to go. So I think that's why a
- 9:49Speaker 3: lot of construction about to take place at Bedminster. That'll
- 9:52Speaker 3: become the summer Trump residence. Mar-a-Lago will become the winter residence.
- 9:58Speaker 3: So the data centers, the controversy continues. Now, about two
- 10:05Speaker 3: years from now, three years from now, a data center
- 10:07Speaker 3: is going to be like a Starbucks. There'll be one everywhere.
- 10:10Speaker 3: It'll be a common thing. They don't bother anybody. They
- 10:13Speaker 3: don't harm anybody. There's Democrats always, any election, they've got
- 10:19Speaker 3: to find a demon, a boogeyman to fight against. They
- 10:22Speaker 3: used to use nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors were the most dangerous.
- 10:27Speaker 8: Why?
- 10:27Speaker 3: If there's a nuclear reactor within a thousand miles of
- 10:30Speaker 3: your life, is it risk? No truth to that. Nobody's
- 10:33Speaker 3: ever had a problem in this country with nuclear reactors.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Even Three Mile Island, when it melted down, nobody was killed.
- 10:40Speaker 3: What was the old joke they used to use? More
- 10:43Speaker 3: people have died in Ted Kennedy's car than in nuclear
- 10:47Speaker 3: accidents in this country. So it's the same thing with
- 10:51Speaker 3: a data center. It's just a big, enormous building. It's
- 10:54Speaker 3: a massive building. It's just a building. What are you
- 10:57Speaker 3: so scared of? All right, it makes a lot of noise.
- 11:00Speaker 3: It's a very noisy building. And the noise, you can
- 11:03Speaker 3: hear it from a half a mile away, but it's
- 11:05Speaker 3: the same thing with LaGuardia or Kennedy Airport. Look where
- 11:09Speaker 3: LaGuardia is. It's right in the middle of a residential area.
- 11:13Speaker 3: Look where Kennedy is. It's right in the middle of
- 11:15Speaker 3: a bunch of residential towns. Makes a hell of a
- 11:17Speaker 3: lot more noise than the data center. So it's going
- 11:20Speaker 3: to be like that. And they'll figure out how to
- 11:21Speaker 3: get that noise quieter and quieter. The problem of it
- 11:24Speaker 3: using up everybody's electricity, well, that's been exaggerated. And they'll
- 11:29Speaker 3: have that solved pretty soon. They'll have these little mini
- 11:32Speaker 3: nuclear reactors in there. They'll use hydrogen power. And they
- 11:36Speaker 3: won't bother anybody's electricity. The forests, they're using too much
- 11:39Speaker 3: water supply. They're recycling water now. They don't use that
- 11:43Speaker 3: much water. And they'll figure out the noise. But the
- 11:45Speaker 3: data centers, even the unions are getting behind these data
- 11:50Speaker 3: centers because when they build one, it's a massive building.
- 11:53Speaker 3: And all you see are thousands of hard hats. It's
- 11:56Speaker 3: a lot of jobs, construction jobs. It creates a lot
- 11:58Speaker 3: of jobs, a lot of activity. You know, they're spending like,
- 12:03Speaker 3: I can't remember, all together they're going to spend like
- 12:05Speaker 3: $ 5 trillion building these data centers. One thing they should do,
- 12:09Speaker 3: these companies building these data centers, take a few million
- 12:13Speaker 3: and start advertising to the community. Do a campaign to
- 12:17Speaker 3: show them how not so bad and it's pretty helpful.
- 12:21Speaker 3: And also, you could start sending out checks to people.
- 12:24Speaker 3: You know, pay their electric bills. It's pocket change for
- 12:27Speaker 3: a data center.
- 12:29Speaker 8: But.
- 12:30Speaker 3: A lot of communities want them. They create jobs. You
- 12:32Speaker 3: might listen to President Trump.
- 12:33Speaker 9: I'm only saying that if I ran a community. Now,
- 12:36Speaker 9: there are different types of communities. But generally speaking, if
- 12:39Speaker 9: I ran a community, if I was a mayor or
- 12:41Speaker 9: if I was a governor in the state, I would
- 12:44Speaker 9: want to have the data centers because they bring tremendous income.
- 12:49Speaker 3: Yeah. Let him build the data center. He built the
- 12:53Speaker 3: data center. It would be gold everywhere. The data center
- 12:55Speaker 3: would have a ballroom. It would have a heliport. Anyway,
- 12:59Speaker 3: so the latest on Iran, the situation, very, very grim
- 13:05Speaker 3: for the Iranians, very grim. Even, well, their leader saying
- 13:11Speaker 3: the country's about to collapse economically. Inflation is like 150%.
- 13:16Speaker 3: There is video leaking out of Iran, you know, people
- 13:20Speaker 3: with their phones making videos. You can see ridiculously long
- 13:24Speaker 3: gas lines, supermarkets with no food in them. It's a
- 13:29Speaker 3: bad situation over there. They don't really know. In my opinion,
- 13:32Speaker 3: they don't know who the leader is.
- 13:33Speaker 5: You have the radicals, but they've been wiped out from
- 13:37Speaker 5: the standpoint of the military because the military is just
- 13:40Speaker 5: a fraction of what it was. I don't really think
- 13:43Speaker 5: they know who their leader is.
- 13:44Speaker 3: Now, that's the other problem. Negotiating with, you don't know
- 13:48Speaker 3: who you're negotiating with. And whoever you negotiate over there
- 13:50Speaker 3: is always lying. As they always say, Iran loses every
- 13:53Speaker 3: war and wins every negotiation. Because whatever they agree to,
- 13:56Speaker 3: they don't follow. Scott Besson has become one of the
- 13:59Speaker 3: great generals in this war, wiping out their economy. Good
- 14:03Speaker 3: for him. And he's leading the charge against Canada, which
- 14:09Speaker 3: is battling the U.S. Besson even yesterday saying, what's the
- 14:12Speaker 3: worst they could do to us? Send their two old
- 14:14Speaker 3: submarines after us? But you remember the Canadian leader, Carney,
- 14:19Speaker 3: Always after the U.S., as Besson reminded everybody.
- 14:22Speaker 10: He came to power on an anti-American, anti-Trump agenda. He
- 14:28Speaker 10: was 20 points behind in the poll. And then he
- 14:30Speaker 10: started this. And it's unfortunate that he's not doing what's
- 14:34Speaker 10: best for the Canadian people. He's doing what is best
- 14:36Speaker 10: for the Liberal Party, what's best for Mark Carney. And
- 14:39Speaker 10: in the long run, the Canadian people are going to
- 14:41Speaker 10: see through that.
- 14:42Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 14:43Speaker 3: So don't worry about the Canadian stuff. It'll blow over
- 14:47Speaker 3: in a little while. Now, we'll get to Anna Wintour,
- 14:51Speaker 3: who runs the Met Gala, the most expensive party in
- 14:55Speaker 3: the world. She has really screwed up this time. She's
- 15:00Speaker 3: in trouble. I think they're going to toss her out
- 15:02Speaker 3: of there at any moment. We'll get to that in
- 15:05Speaker 3: a second. Also, there's some real questions about her character now.
- 15:11Speaker 3: I don't mean being cold and mean, but being a
- 15:13Speaker 3: real anti-Semite. And we'll get to that coming up. We'll
- 15:17Speaker 3: get to the midterms. We'll get to Howard Stern and
- 15:20Speaker 3: his new job. And we'll get to our crazy little mayor,
- 15:24Speaker 3: crazy little Mom Donnie. Although he did one good thing yesterday.
- 15:28Speaker 3: We'll get to all of that coming up. It's Mark
- 15:31Speaker 3: Simone here. Nine to noon every day. Don't forget, it's three. Well,
- 15:35Speaker 3: you're listening right now. You must know it's three hours,
- 15:37Speaker 3: nine to noon. But let everybody else know. 9 to
- 15:41Speaker 3: noon every weekday here on 710WOR. Now, much more Mark.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Mark Simone. Now, 9 till noon weekdays. On 710WOR.
- 16:02Speaker 3: Oh, it's the first day of September. I don't know
- 16:05Speaker 3: how all that happened, but it's... Sorry, it's September already.
- 16:09Speaker 3: So Anna Wintour, Vogue magazine all those years, Condé Nast.
- 16:17Speaker 3: She's really not running Vogue anymore. They kind of pushed
- 16:20Speaker 3: her upstairs. But the other thing she ran is the
- 16:24Speaker 3: Met Gala. Every year, the Met Gala. There's all these
- 16:26Speaker 3: big charity things in New York City, these big galas
- 16:29Speaker 3: every year. There's the big ones like the Rita Hayworth Gala,
- 16:33Speaker 3: the Parkinson's Gala, this. But the Met Gala. honors the
- 16:38Speaker 3: Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum. And now I stopped
- 16:44Speaker 3: going to this Met Gala because it was like in
- 16:46Speaker 3: the 90s. It was like the biggest names in New
- 16:49Speaker 3: York society. It was the great billionaires and the great
- 16:53Speaker 3: society figures. And they're all gone. They're all dead, actually.
- 16:59Speaker 3: But I guess... It was Anna Wintour wanted to do it. Well,
- 17:04Speaker 3: once she took over running this, she kind of got
- 17:06Speaker 3: away from that, and she got more into tabloidy stuff.
- 17:09Speaker 3: It became more Kardashians, and it became more music people,
- 17:13Speaker 3: and it got trashier and trashier and crazier and crazier.
- 17:17Speaker 3: But the good thing about these Kardashian types and these
- 17:20Speaker 3: music people, you can charge them more money. So where
- 17:23Speaker 3: the tickets used to be $ 1, 000, the tickets are now $ 50, 000.
- 17:25Speaker 3: If you want to buy a table, it used to
- 17:27Speaker 3: be $ 25, 000. Now it's a million, 10 million for a table.
- 17:33Speaker 3: I mean, it's crazy. But good for her. She made
- 17:36Speaker 3: all this money, brought in more revenue than ever for
- 17:39Speaker 3: the Met Gala. But every year they honor somebody. You know,
- 17:44Speaker 3: one year it was Ralph Lauren. It's, you know, it's fashion.
- 17:49Speaker 3: So it's always the fashion guys, the honoree. Ralph Lauren,
- 17:53Speaker 3: you could see him being the honoree. So she picks
- 17:56Speaker 3: John Galliano, the French designer, worked for Christian Dior and
- 17:59Speaker 3: all these places. And it turns out that he is
- 18:02Speaker 3: the biggest anti-Semite in the world. Now, when I say
- 18:06Speaker 3: the biggest anti-Semite, I don't mean that he's made anti-Israel comments.
- 18:10Speaker 3: I don't mean that he's made some sort of anti-Semitic remarks. No,
- 18:15Speaker 3: this guy's a screaming, Hitler-loving anti-Semite. This guy actually was
- 18:21Speaker 3: fired from Christian Dior. They fired him in 2012. Just
- 18:28Speaker 3: to give you an example of this guy, Galliano, there
- 18:30Speaker 3: was an incident in Paris in 2011, and there was
- 18:34Speaker 3: a lot of video of this. You can see it
- 18:35Speaker 3: on video. He's in a restaurant. I don't know. Some
- 18:38Speaker 3: got into a fight, an argument with some people. They
- 18:40Speaker 3: were Jewish. He stands up and starts screaming that all
- 18:45Speaker 3: the Jews should be gassed. Hitler was right. He's screaming
- 18:49Speaker 3: this over and over again, yelling the most vile, disgusting,
- 18:53Speaker 3: anti-Semitic stuff in the world. And people have video of it.
- 18:56Speaker 3: So He was actually convicted in Paris, convicted of hate crimes,
- 19:01Speaker 3: yelling that everybody should, all Jews should be gassed. I mean,
- 19:04Speaker 3: he was convicted of hate crimes. This is just one
- 19:08Speaker 3: example of his past. There's all this stuff in his past.
- 19:11Speaker 3: So somehow Anna Wintour picks him to be the honoree
- 19:14Speaker 3: this year. And there's nothing but controversy over this. And yesterday,
- 19:21Speaker 3: Galeano pulled out. He announced he didn't want to be
- 19:23Speaker 3: a distraction, so he's withdrawing as the honoree and he
- 19:28Speaker 3: said he appreciated the honor but he didn't want to
- 19:31Speaker 3: distract from the great work of nobody knows what the
- 19:34Speaker 3: hell this costume institute actually does but uh so anna
- 19:38Speaker 3: windtower was very gracious to him and we're sorry to
- 19:42Speaker 3: see you go you know you're a great person so
- 19:46Speaker 3: now everybody's looking at this first of all Wintour trying
- 19:49Speaker 3: to make it look like she did, stepped up and
- 19:50Speaker 3: did the right thing. Well, that's not at all what happened.
- 19:53Speaker 3: It turns out there was heavy pressure coming at her
- 19:56Speaker 3: the last couple months, serious pressure from all the top
- 19:59Speaker 3: Jewish organizations, the ADL. And then the politicians got involved.
- 20:05Speaker 3: The city council speaker, Julie Menon, put a lot of
- 20:08Speaker 3: pressure on her. So it got to be too much,
- 20:10Speaker 3: the pressure, and that's why they had him withdraw. And
- 20:13Speaker 3: even Mamdani jumped in. This guy's too much of an anti-Semite,
- 20:18Speaker 3: even for Mamdani. Even Mamdani spoke out against him. So
- 20:21Speaker 3: they had to get rid of him. But now a
- 20:24Speaker 3: lot of people are talking. There's a lot of whistleblowers
- 20:26Speaker 3: coming out saying that, hey, behind the scenes, as soon
- 20:30Speaker 3: as he was nominated a long time ago, everybody involved
- 20:34Speaker 3: started yelling at Anna Wintour. This guy's a vicious person.
- 20:37Speaker 3: vile anti-Semite and they started going through his past and
- 20:40Speaker 3: she still stuck with him. So she may try to
- 20:43Speaker 3: act like she's done the right thing here, but she
- 20:46Speaker 3: knew all along about this guy and was all for
- 20:50Speaker 3: him and still pushed for him. She got a lot
- 20:52Speaker 3: of pushback, even from the museum, from everybody, but she
- 20:56Speaker 3: fought to keep him despite all of that. So you
- 20:58Speaker 3: got to figure she is a total anti-Semite. Who the
- 21:02Speaker 3: hell could defend a guy like this? He's convicted of
- 21:06Speaker 3: hate crimes. He's screaming that Hitler was right. Jews should
- 21:09Speaker 3: all be gassed. This is the guy you stand by.
- 21:13Speaker 3: You got to figure she is the ugliest, most vicious
- 21:16Speaker 3: anti-Semite in the world. So now a lot of people
- 21:19Speaker 3: are calling for her to be out from the costume institute,
- 21:24Speaker 3: the Met Gala, and Condé Nast. So she may have
- 21:28Speaker 3: totally miscalculated her power and what she could get away with.
- 21:31Speaker 3: Some people now inside believe this is the moment. where
- 21:36Speaker 3: she's going to have to step down. She's been there
- 21:38Speaker 3: 40 years at Condé Nast. She outlasted all the big
- 21:42Speaker 3: editors there, the other ones, her rivals, Tina Brown, Graydon Carter,
- 21:46Speaker 3: but she miscalculated completely here. Should be out September 1st.
- 21:55Speaker 3: Let's say by October 1st, she's gone. She announces she's retiring.
- 22:01Speaker 3: She wants to spend more time with her family. Did
- 22:05Speaker 3: you ever see her family? Nobody wants to spend any
- 22:06Speaker 3: time with them. She will be out, I predict, within
- 22:10Speaker 3: one month. That's the end of her. She will be gone.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Kathy Hochul, her crazy pied-a-terre tax. We'll get to this
- 22:20Speaker 3: in a few minutes. You're never going to see this
- 22:21Speaker 3: pied-a-terre tax. It's a total disaster. It makes absolutely no sense. Hey,
- 22:27Speaker 3: but good for Mom Donnie. He finally did one good
- 22:29Speaker 3: thing yesterday. He signed the bill. to make outdoor dining
- 22:34Speaker 3: permanent in New York and year-round. Although if I think
- 22:38Speaker 3: about it, wait a minute, what do you mean outdoor
- 22:39Speaker 3: dining year-round? In the middle of winter? It's like two degrees.
- 22:44Speaker 3: Who's going to eat out? Well, it's good anyway. It
- 22:46Speaker 3: helps the restaurants. Now, there'd be restrictions. You remember outdoor
- 22:51Speaker 3: dining was great during the pandemic, but then those sheds
- 22:55Speaker 3: and those tables started to take away half the street.
- 22:58Speaker 3: And then they would build these sheds, that looked like
- 23:01Speaker 3: you were eating in an outhouse. I mean, it was
- 23:03Speaker 3: kind of silly, you know, especially the finer restaurants. You know,
- 23:07Speaker 3: you go to Danielle, which is one of the finest
- 23:10Speaker 3: French restaurants in the world. You ever been inside Danielle?
- 23:12Speaker 3: It is beautiful. It's magnificent looking. But some people would choose, oh,
- 23:18Speaker 3: let's eat outside. Well, they built sheds outside. There were
- 23:21Speaker 3: nice looking sheds, but you're not in this beautiful restaurant
- 23:24Speaker 3: in there. That's half the experience. You're eating in this
- 23:26Speaker 3: wooden shed. And by the way, the bottom of those
- 23:30Speaker 3: sheds at night are nothing but rats. That's the problem
- 23:34Speaker 3: with that outdoor dining because as people eat, they keep
- 23:36Speaker 3: dropping food all the time. Crumbs are falling into the
- 23:39Speaker 3: cracks at the bottom of those shits. So at night,
- 23:41Speaker 3: rats would come through like crazy. Only certain restaurants, Avra
- 23:46Speaker 3: was very good at this, but only certain restaurants at
- 23:48Speaker 3: night would take all the tables and scrub down the
- 23:52Speaker 3: sidewalk and get rid of all that food down there.
- 23:55Speaker 3: They had soap and water and everything, but very few restaurants.
- 23:59Speaker 3: did that. Anyway, we've got a lot to get to.
- 24:01Speaker 3: We'll get this pied-a-terre text. Well, you'll never see it.
- 24:03Speaker 3: You'll never see it. And we'll get to Howard Stern
- 24:07Speaker 3: and a lot more coming up.
- 24:08Speaker 11: The Mark Simone Show, live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
- 24:13Speaker 3: Hey, we'll take some calls.
- 24:13Speaker 8: 800-321-0710 is the number.
- 24:14Speaker 12: 800-321-0710.
- 24:14Speaker 3: So, Kathy Holcomb, this crazy pied-a-terre text. crazy mom donnie
- 24:29Speaker 3: to it sounds good to their base that we'll go
- 24:32Speaker 3: after these wealthy people these rich you see these politicians
- 24:35Speaker 3: can never admit the problem is overspending this the budget
- 24:40Speaker 3: is double what it should be double what it should
- 24:43Speaker 3: be you could cut the budget in half and a
- 24:44Speaker 3: lot of this is fraud waste bloat overpaying by 10
- 24:49Speaker 3: 000 for everything that it's just endless waste so the
- 24:53Speaker 3: when there's a shortfall, they act like it's those rich
- 24:57Speaker 3: people's fault. This is the idea of democratic socialism. It's
- 25:00Speaker 3: rich people telling poor people that the reason you're poor
- 25:04Speaker 3: is these other rich people did it to you. And
- 25:07Speaker 3: then they can just keep increasing the tax on the wealthy,
- 25:11Speaker 3: but it gets to the point where the rate is
- 25:13Speaker 3: just ridiculously high. So they come up with these crazy ideas.
- 25:16Speaker 3: Remember years ago, they tried this, we're going to tax
- 25:19Speaker 3: all the private jet owners. We'll tax every private jet
- 25:23Speaker 3: owner in that way. We'll, well, that's 75 people. It's
- 25:27Speaker 3: not that many people. If you taxed them all a
- 25:30Speaker 3: hundred percent, it would run the government for three and
- 25:32Speaker 3: a half seconds. That's about it. It doesn't do anything.
- 25:35Speaker 3: It's the same thing with the Pierre de Terre tax.
- 25:36Speaker 3: It's Pierre de Terre tax. It's just a handful of people.
- 25:40Speaker 3: It doesn't do anything.
- 25:41Speaker 8: Courts.
- 25:42Speaker 3: Is that my phone? No, it's my watch talking to me.
- 25:46Speaker 13: Sorry.
- 25:47Speaker 3: Stupid Apple watch. Uh, Where was I? It's, it's, it's
- 25:52Speaker 3: the most convoluted scheme is Pieter Teretak. You got even
- 25:55Speaker 3: left-wing judges are stopping it. Uh, you got a Staten
- 25:58Speaker 3: Island judge blocking it. They can't figure out who, who
- 26:01Speaker 3: should be on the list, who shouldn't be on the list.
- 26:03Speaker 3: They put out a list of like 90,000 names, turns
- 26:05Speaker 3: out 75,000 of them with the wrong names. And listen
- 26:10Speaker 3: to Hochul try to explain it. She can't even explain
- 26:12Speaker 3: this thing.
- 26:12Speaker 14: So the larger number that was in the news was
- 26:16Speaker 14: a different dynamic, I'll say. So what they're talking about
- 26:19Speaker 14: is getting down to what we actually projected. So we
- 26:22Speaker 14: don't see that there'll be a loss in revenue from
- 26:25Speaker 14: what we expect to bring in because we've always been
- 26:28Speaker 14: estimating at 10,000. So them scaling it back will not
- 26:31Speaker 14: have the effect that people are concerned about.
- 26:34Speaker 3: What a bunch of double talk. First of all, whatever
- 26:36Speaker 3: it was going to bring in is nothing. Listen to
- 26:38Speaker 3: this sentence.
- 26:39Speaker 14: So the larger number that was in the news was
- 26:42Speaker 14: a different dynamic, I'll say.
- 26:44Speaker 3: It's a number. How could it have a dynamic? The
- 26:46Speaker 3: larger number was a different dynamic. What the hell is
- 26:49Speaker 3: he talking about? The larger number was false. It was wrong.
- 26:52Speaker 3: It was totally wrong. Completely wrong. Let's take some calls.
- 26:56Speaker 3: Let's go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy, how are
- 27:00Speaker 3: you doing?
- 27:02Speaker 15: Hi, look at me at the nine o'clock hour. I'm
- 27:04Speaker 15: so excited.
- 27:05Speaker 3: Well, that's like lunchtime in North Carolina, right?
- 27:09Speaker 15: No, but listen, the six-year-old is back in school, so
- 27:12Speaker 15: I can make calls now.
- 27:14Speaker 3: No, but the nine o'clock, North Carolina, usually down at
- 27:17Speaker 3: the fishing hole with Opie, right?
- 27:19Speaker 12: Well, no.
- 27:20Speaker 15: You know that we're very, very modern.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Oh, no, I know.
- 27:25Speaker 15: All the modern, all us New Yorkers are moving here.
- 27:27Speaker 16: Anyway.
- 27:28Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 27:29Speaker 15: I'm going to, um, you were going down memory lane yesterday,
- 27:33Speaker 15: so I'm going to keep it light today. And I
- 27:34Speaker 15: had a question for you. I always wanted to ask, um,
- 27:38Speaker 15: about Sue Simmons and Phil Collins. Take it away.
- 27:41Speaker 3: Sue Simmons, the great, uh, I don't know. That's a great,
- 27:44Speaker 3: pretty good anchor woman on channel four and Phil Collins. Yes.
- 27:48Speaker 15: Well, I mean, there, I might've gotten a mixed up
- 27:51Speaker 15: with another anchor that's legendary, but somebody had an affair
- 27:55Speaker 15: with Phil Collins and was crushed that it, Didn't work.
- 27:59Speaker 15: Come on, you know everything.
- 28:01Speaker 3: Well, the Phil Collins part could be true, but Sue Simmons?
- 28:05Speaker 3: I think he's got better eyesight than that, don't you?
- 28:08Speaker 17: No, okay, maybe.
- 28:08Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 28:09Speaker 15: Now you're going to have to Google it, because I
- 28:12Speaker 15: didn't want to do that. Oh my gosh, now I'm
- 28:15Speaker 15: creating this big possible false story.
- 28:19Speaker 3: A lot of these anchors that you see on those shows,
- 28:21Speaker 3: they're pretty good looking people. They have a lot of affairs,
- 28:25Speaker 3: those people. I don't want to mention any names.
- 28:27Speaker 15: But, I mean, whoever it was was huge, and I
- 28:30Speaker 15: thought it was– it was somebody that you'd never think
- 28:33Speaker 15: would be with Phil Collins. And he's still local, right?
- 28:35Speaker 15: And he's not doing well, by the way. But she was, like, so– like,
- 28:40Speaker 15: literally kind of lost a couple of nights on the air,
- 28:44Speaker 15: whoever it was.
- 28:44Speaker 3: Well, remember, she had a little– she loved to drink.
- 28:48Speaker 3: Remember that incident where she was– cursing and didn't know
- 28:51Speaker 3: the microphone was open.
- 28:52Speaker 15: But now I want you to dig into the story
- 28:55Speaker 15: and let me know.
- 28:56Speaker 13: I'll be listening.
- 28:57Speaker 3: It's not exactly the Kennedy assassination. I mean, the investigation
- 29:00Speaker 3: on this.
- 29:01Speaker 15: I told you I was keeping it light today.
- 29:03Speaker 3: All right. I'll ask around, see what I can find out.
- 29:06Speaker 15: I'm not going to ask you about the Lindsay Clancy
- 29:08Speaker 15: case because that will just really ramp it up.
- 29:12Speaker 3: I can't get involved in that. I don't know why.
- 29:14Speaker 3: I mean, it looks like there's going to be a
- 29:16Speaker 3: hung jury or a mistrial there.
- 29:18Speaker 8: Oh, that's good.
- 29:19Speaker 3: I don't know if it's good. She murdered her kids.
- 29:22Speaker 8: Well, I know.
- 29:23Speaker 18: But she admitted it.
- 29:24Speaker 15: And she had a psychosis. So I'm not going to
- 29:26Speaker 15: get into that. But I'm just so thrilled to.
- 29:28Speaker 3: Hear you on a 9 o'clock hour. She admitted it?
- 29:30Speaker 3: It's okay to kill your kids if you admit it?
- 29:33Speaker 3: That's okay?
- 29:34Speaker 8: No.
- 29:34Speaker 15: She had a psychosis. It's a medical thing.
- 29:36Speaker 3: Trust me. Yeah, right.
- 29:38Speaker 8: It's true.
- 29:38Speaker 7: But anyway.
- 29:39Speaker 3: All right, Kathy. Thanks for calling. Let's go to Dave
- 29:42Speaker 3: in New City. Dave, how you doing?
- 29:45Speaker 8: Good.
- 29:46Speaker 6: How you doing, Mark? Good. You know, I was thinking,
- 29:48Speaker 6: now that you have a three-hour show, maybe you should
- 29:52Speaker 6: bring in Vincent from Brooklyn to be your co-host.
- 29:55Speaker 7: What do you think?
- 29:56Speaker 3: I think I'm doing fine. Vincent's a great caller. He's
- 29:59Speaker 3: not a professional host.
- 30:02Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he would be a good addition to
- 30:03Speaker 6: your show.
- 30:04Speaker 3: Well, I hate to break it to you. That's why
- 30:06Speaker 3: nobody's hired you to be a program director. Nobody pays
- 30:10Speaker 3: you to be a radio consultant.
- 30:13Speaker 6: You're right.
- 30:15Speaker 3: What do you do for a living?
- 30:17Speaker 6: I own a pickleball facility.
- 30:20Speaker 7: Really?
- 30:21Speaker 6: Yeah, you want to come play?
- 30:23Speaker 3: Hey, so how long have you had it?
- 30:26Speaker 6: Five months.
- 30:27Speaker 3: Oh, okay, so you just started. Have you seen any
- 30:29Speaker 3: decrease in pickleball interest?
- 30:34Speaker 6: No, only increase by millions. Wow.
- 30:38Speaker 3: All right. It's taken off. What is the hardest thing
- 30:42Speaker 3: of running a pickleball place? What's the most expensive stuff,
- 30:45Speaker 3: like maintaining stuff?
- 30:47Speaker 6: No, no, the hardest thing is dealing with the customers.
- 30:51Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Yeah, but it's a new city. You got
- 30:54Speaker 3: nice people there. It's Rockland County, all very nice people.
- 30:57Speaker 6: You're right.
- 30:57Speaker 3: Yeah. Go open one in Boca Raton. You want to
- 31:00Speaker 3: see some complaining? Open in Boca Raton.
- 31:04Speaker 6: No thanks.
- 31:05Speaker 3: Yeah, open in Boca Raton. And keep them waiting half
- 31:08Speaker 3: a second. What's taking so long? You'll see nothing but arguing.
- 31:12Speaker 3: Let's go to Neil in Brooklyn. Neil, how you doing?
- 31:16Speaker 6: Thank you, Mark.
- 31:18Speaker 19: Although there was no legislation... Do you think that the
- 31:21Speaker 19: publicity about voter ID and mail-in voting will help tamp
- 31:29Speaker 19: down fraud, just the fact that it's in the news
- 31:31Speaker 19: all the time?
- 31:32Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's good. It'll eventually stop it once you
- 31:35Speaker 3: expose it all. But the problem is you're not going
- 31:37Speaker 3: to get this by the midterms. It's a little too late.
- 31:40Speaker 3: Even if you get that Save America Act, it really
- 31:43Speaker 3: won't go into effect in time to do much in
- 31:45Speaker 3: the midterms. But this voter fraud is very, very real.
- 31:48Speaker 3: You remember the fake news would say there, there's no
- 31:51Speaker 3: voter fraud. And then they, they would confess even George
- 31:54Speaker 3: Stephanopoulos and others would confess. Well, it's very small. It's
- 31:58Speaker 3: a 1%. It's not enough to make it, but it's
- 32:01Speaker 3: getting exposed more and more. Illegals are voting like crazy.
- 32:04Speaker 3: Turns out New Jersey had to confess. The governor had
- 32:07Speaker 3: to confess. She found 6,000 illegals voting, which means 60,000.
- 32:12Speaker 3: And you got these driving schools, Scott, uh, Besant and, uh,
- 32:17Speaker 3: Sean Duffy and others talking about this yesterday. Duffy, Department
- 32:20Speaker 3: of Transportation, they've gone after 270 driving schools. It turns
- 32:26Speaker 3: out they were given licenses to illegals. Not only licenses,
- 32:30Speaker 3: but there were 100 of them that they've already targeted
- 32:33Speaker 3: now as the worst. They were given commercial driver's licenses,
- 32:37Speaker 3: which means these illegals who don't speak English can't read
- 32:41Speaker 3: the road signs. are driving big 18-wheeler trucks. You know,
- 32:45Speaker 3: people have been killed by these illegals because they couldn't
- 32:49Speaker 3: read the sign, they didn't know what a stop sign was,
- 32:51Speaker 3: and people have died in these accidents. So they're targeting
- 32:54Speaker 3: those schools, and good for them. One more. Let's go
- 32:57Speaker 3: to Sammy in Howard Beach. Sammy, how are you doing?
- 33:00Speaker 17: I'm doing great, Mark.
- 33:02Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 33:02Speaker 17: Listen, I used to work at CBS, and it was
- 33:06Speaker 17: Dana Tyler who had the, I would say, whack.
- 33:11Speaker 3: Dana Tyler. Okay, that makes a lot more sense. Very
- 33:13Speaker 3: good looking, that Dana Tyler. Very nice person, too.
- 33:16Speaker 8: Great, great lady.
- 33:18Speaker 3: You think she developed a friendship with Phil Collins?
- 33:23Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 33:24Speaker 17: Unfortunately, it didn't really work out well for her. You know,
- 33:28Speaker 17: she just, you know, became lost. Anyway, thanks a lot.
- 33:33Speaker 3: All right, thanks for clearing it up. You know, is
- 33:36Speaker 3: she going to date a big rock and roll star?
- 33:39Speaker 3: A crazy musician who's on the road all the time
- 33:41Speaker 3: with a billion groupies. It's not going to work out.
- 33:44Speaker 3: I mean, if you want to have some fun and
- 33:47Speaker 3: you like it, great. But it's not a long-term relationship developing.
- 33:52Speaker 3: Let's go to Sal in Long Island. Sal, how are
- 33:54Speaker 3: you doing? Hi.
- 33:56Speaker 20: Good morning, Mark.
- 33:57Speaker 3: Yes, Sal.
- 33:57Speaker 20: Mark, I just wanted to mention that we talked about
- 34:00Speaker 20: the outdoor dining and how things are going to be
- 34:03Speaker 20: dropped and get rats.
- 34:04Speaker 3: That's dense.
- 34:06Speaker 20: But the one thing we didn't touch on, what about
- 34:07Speaker 20: the waiters and the waitresses that got to go from
- 34:09Speaker 20: a warm inside place, they got to walk out onto
- 34:11Speaker 20: the sidewalk, into another warm place, back and forth, carrying plates.
- 34:15Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a pain in the neck. That's the other problem.
- 34:16Speaker 3: You're right. Sitting outside, you don't get it. There's not
- 34:18Speaker 3: a waiter around all the time. Where are you in
- 34:21Speaker 3: Long Island? Where do you live in Long Island?
- 34:22Speaker 20: Seacliff, up by Glen Cove.
- 34:25Speaker 3: Seacliff is beautiful. Glen Cove, you got all these great restaurants.
- 34:28Speaker 3: You got the Cove, that restaurant right on the water. Yes.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Friday night, the White Party there at the Cove.
- 34:36Speaker 20: That's right.
- 34:37Speaker 3: I don't want to catch you there. Are you married?
- 34:39Speaker 3: I don't want to catch you there.
- 34:41Speaker 21: Yeah.
- 34:41Speaker 3: Yeah, you better not be there. All right. Thanks for calling. Hey,
- 34:45Speaker 3: we got a lot to get to. We got three
- 34:47Speaker 3: hours now, nine to noon every day. And don't forget

- 34:59Speaker 3: You got Jesse Kelly at six. Jimmy Fallon. Very funny
- 35:03Speaker 3: show every night, nine to midnight. It's all here on 710WOR. Wow.
- 35:07Speaker 3: What did she say?
- 35:08Speaker 1: The summer of 26. Yeah, it's almost over. It's September
- 35:11Speaker 1: 1st today. So it's going to be a rainy day today. 98%
- 35:14Speaker 1: chance of rain today.
- 35:15Speaker 3: A little better tomorrow. 55% chance of rain on Thursday.
- 35:18Speaker 19: And then.
- 35:33Speaker 3: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, dry, good weather, sunshine. So it'd
- 35:39Speaker 3: be a good Labor Day weekend. I can't believe it.
- 35:42Speaker 3: It's Labor Day weekend, but the weather will be great. Today, Wednesday, Thursday,
- 35:47Speaker 3: not so good. But then dry, great weather for the
- 35:51Speaker 3: whole weekend. So that's the good news. Hey, if you
- 35:54Speaker 3: just tuned in, you missed the first hour because it's
- 35:56Speaker 3: a three-hour show now. 9 a.m. to noon every day,
- 36:00Speaker 3: 9 to noon. Right here every weekday, 9 to noon
- 36:04Speaker 3: on 710WOR. Back right after the news. Hey, it's hour
- 36:18Speaker 3: number two. That's right. If you just tuned in, you
- 36:21Speaker 3: missed the first hour. It's 9 to noon every day,
- 36:23Speaker 3: 9 o'clock till noon. Look at that. It's September 1st.
- 36:27Speaker 3: How the hell did that happen? Oh, my God. It's
- 36:30Speaker 3: September 1st already. Labor Day weekend is just days away
- 36:34Speaker 3: from now. Tim Cook is gone. We'll talk about that.
- 36:39Speaker 3: Howard Stern, just about gone. We'll get to him. We'll
- 36:42Speaker 3: get to the midterms. Hey, J.D. Vance is in Michigan.
- 36:48Speaker 3: He's been sent there to campaign against El-Sayed. And El-Sayed
- 36:53Speaker 3: getting attacked left and right. People yelling and screaming. Abdul El-Sayed.
- 37:00Speaker 3: just a ridiculous, you know, typical phony democratic socialist. They're
- 37:04Speaker 3: all wealthy people telling you you should be poor and
- 37:08Speaker 3: let them take care of you. Now, listen, he's getting
- 37:11Speaker 3: flack from every direction in Michigan.
- 37:13Speaker 22: But I'd like to ask El Saeed one question. If
- 37:16Speaker 22: he wants free everything, free health care for all, why
- 37:19Speaker 22: exactly does his wife, who's a doctor, why does she
- 37:23Speaker 22: not accept Medicaid and Medicare?
- 37:26Speaker 23: Isn't that odd?
- 37:27Speaker 22: Oh, do what you say.
- 37:29Speaker 24: Not as you do. You want to know why?
- 37:31Speaker 22: Because they know we live in America and they like freedom, too.
- 37:36Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of... Hey, by the way, that free
- 37:38Speaker 3: health care for all, the free this, the free that,
- 37:41Speaker 3: a new study shows that if you implemented all the
- 37:44Speaker 3: democratic social ideas, it would cost $ 200 trillion. $ 200 trillion.
- 37:49Speaker 3: That would be the end of America as you know it.
- 37:56Speaker 3: a staggering $ 200 trillion would be the cost of everything.
- 38:03Speaker 3: I mean, you go through all of this stuff, health
- 38:06Speaker 3: care for everybody, you're talking about $ 50 trillion over the
- 38:10Speaker 3: next decade, slavery reparations, you're talking about $ 20 trillion, federal
- 38:16Speaker 3: jobs guarantee, you're talking about $ 50 trillion. I mean, it
- 38:19Speaker 3: just goes on and on and piles up to $ 200 trillion.
- 38:23Speaker 3: You couldn't do all of it. It'd be impossible. It
- 38:25Speaker 3: can't be done anyway. It's not even logical. So Vice
- 38:29Speaker 3: President J.D. Vance has been sent to Michigan. He's from Ohio,
- 38:33Speaker 3: so he speaks that language, that Midwestern Ohio-Michigan language. He's
- 38:37Speaker 3: there to campaign against El-Sayed.
- 38:40Speaker 25: And I realize that there's something about Abdul El-Sayed that
- 38:44Speaker 25: is very, very evil and on the rise in the
- 38:49Speaker 25: United States of America today. And it's people who see
- 38:53Speaker 25: themselves not as citizens of a common nation, fighting for
- 38:57Speaker 25: every single person, whether they're Jewish or Christian, whether they're
- 39:01Speaker 25: white or black or brown, but see themselves as fighting
- 39:05Speaker 25: for one group at the expense of others. And that
- 39:08Speaker 25: is how, ladies and gentlemen, you destroy the United States
- 39:11Speaker 25: of America.
- 39:12Speaker 3: Well, now you'll notice the first woman said El-Sayed. He
- 39:18Speaker 3: says El-Sayed. And I say El Sayyad. Well, I don't know.
- 39:23Speaker 3: I guess Vance is right, because if you look at
- 39:25Speaker 3: the way it's spelled, Al-Sayed. I like Al-Sayed. It sounds better. Al-Sayed.
- 39:31Speaker 3: All right. He's slightly ahead in the polls right now.
- 39:37Speaker 3: But you're going to see these polls everywhere showing that
- 39:40Speaker 3: the Republicans in big trouble, that the Democrats have the
- 39:43Speaker 3: advantage in the midterms, and they go state by state
- 39:46Speaker 3: by state. And the polls, they show you how the
- 39:47Speaker 3: Democrats are going to, They're ahead here, there, every, well,
- 39:51Speaker 3: if you look into the metrics of the polls, they're
- 39:53Speaker 3: all rigged. They're not real polls. They're rigged polls. You know,
- 39:58Speaker 3: Republicans are 23% of the sample. It's supposed to be 36%
- 40:02Speaker 3: of the sample. They're not using likely voters. They're not
- 40:06Speaker 3: using the right demos. So they're all, and that's a
- 40:10Speaker 3: good sign that Republicans are going to win. If you
- 40:13Speaker 3: want to use the polls, what you look at is
- 40:15Speaker 3: the metrics. And you see how much they're rigged. If
- 40:18Speaker 3: they're rigged that much, that means the Republicans are going
- 40:22Speaker 3: to do well. Now, the only honest pollster in the media,
- 40:26Speaker 3: you know, the media, you're seeing these college polls, these
- 40:28Speaker 3: media polls, you can't trust any of them. They're all cheap, flimsy,
- 40:31Speaker 3: fake polls. The only one you can trust is this
- 40:33Speaker 3: Harry Enten, who's on CNN. I don't know how the
- 40:37Speaker 3: hell this happens, but the CNN pollster is very honest.
- 40:42Speaker 3: Even President Trump tweeting out that, uh, you know, thanking
- 40:46Speaker 3: the CNN pollster for being honest. Here he is on
- 40:49Speaker 3: CNN talking about how bad the Democrats look in the midterms.
- 40:53Speaker 26: In April, according to a Washington Post episode, Paul, the
- 40:55Speaker 26: Democrats were more trusted by two points. Again, close margin,
- 40:58Speaker 26: no clear leader.
- 40:59Speaker 3: But look where the shift has been.
- 41:00Speaker 26: If anything, the shift has been in the Republican direction.
- 41:04Speaker 26: Now the Republicans and Donald Trump are trusted more by
- 41:07Speaker 26: two points on a run. So, again, over the course
- 41:10Speaker 26: of the war, if anything, the Republicans have been the
- 41:13Speaker 26: ones that have been gaining control which I think just
- 41:16Speaker 26: goes so opposed to all of the news coverage.
- 41:19Speaker 3: Yeah, now the way they con you in the media,
- 41:21Speaker 3: whether you're watching CNN or MSNBC or New York Times,
- 41:24Speaker 3: they show you the president's approval ratings. Look how low
- 41:27Speaker 3: his approval ratings have dropped to 39%. Look at his
- 41:31Speaker 3: approval ratings down to 40%. They keep showing you this.
- 41:34Speaker 3: Look how bad his approval ratings are. They never mention
- 41:39Speaker 3: the Democratic's approval ratings, which is down to like 2%.
- 41:43Speaker 3: And good for Harry Enten on CNN. He points it
- 41:46Speaker 3: out all the time. The Democrats' approval ratings are not
- 41:50Speaker 3: only lower than Trump's, they're lower than anybody's ever, ever been.
- 41:53Speaker 3: The Democrats have now have the lowest approval ratings in
- 41:57Speaker 3: all these polls. But that's the only place you'll see
- 41:59Speaker 3: it publicly is Harry Enten. Howard Stern. Well, you know,
- 42:05Speaker 3: they're basically getting out of the Howard Stern business over
- 42:08Speaker 3: there at Sirius. This guy was under a $ 500 million contract,
- 42:13Speaker 3: $ 100 million a year. And through the years, they kept
- 42:16Speaker 3: cutting his salary. And every time they'd cut his salary,
- 42:19Speaker 3: he'd compromise with them and cut his work hours. You know,
- 42:22Speaker 3: it was five days a week. Then it was four
- 42:24Speaker 3: days a week. Then it became three days a week.
- 42:27Speaker 3: And then they cut him again. So in the last contract,
- 42:29Speaker 3: it was three days a week, but only like 20
- 42:33Speaker 3: weeks a year. I mean, there was very few life shifts.
- 42:35Speaker 3: So the new contract is a drastic pay cut. So
- 42:41Speaker 3: he's going to do one show a week. It's down
- 42:43Speaker 3: to one show a week and not every week. So very, very,
- 42:48Speaker 3: very few shows. Now, you could step back and look
- 42:52Speaker 3: at it and say, well, when he went woke, when
- 42:53Speaker 3: he went crazy left wing, when he turned on Trump,
- 42:58Speaker 3: when he embraced the Democrats, when he became woke Howard,
- 43:02Speaker 3: that was the end. He lost his audience. Yeah, there's
- 43:04Speaker 3: a lot of truth to that. Yeah, he did lose
- 43:08Speaker 3: an enormous chunk of the audience, and that's what sunk him.
- 43:11Speaker 3: But there's some people that will argue you can't stay
- 43:15Speaker 3: the same. You've got to keep evolving. When he first
- 43:19Speaker 3: came to New York years ago when he was throwing
- 43:23Speaker 3: pies in the face of strippers and all the crazy
- 43:26Speaker 3: stunts running around the street with the megaphone, all those
- 43:30Speaker 3: antics are great. But when you hit 70 or whatever
- 43:33Speaker 3: he is, 72, You got to change. You can't keep
- 43:36Speaker 3: doing that stuff. He's not a, you know, like a
- 43:40Speaker 3: crazy kid anymore. So you got to evolve. And that's true.
- 43:43Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean you got to go super woke.
- 43:46Speaker 3: Look at the career of Imus, who was a crazy
- 43:48Speaker 3: shock shock. Then as he got older, it became more
- 43:51Speaker 3: of a talk show. Then it became more of a
- 43:53Speaker 3: political talk show. Then it became a very highbrow political show.
- 43:57Speaker 3: You got to evolve. You got to keep changing. Look
- 44:00Speaker 3: at me. I used to be a rock and roll
- 44:02Speaker 3: DJ here in New York. Then it was... the more
- 44:05Speaker 3: grown-up music, and then it was talk, and then it
- 44:08Speaker 3: was more talk. I mean, you change. It's very important
- 44:12Speaker 3: to go back and listen to yourself 10 years ago,
- 44:16Speaker 3: 20 years ago. You better sound a lot different. You
- 44:19Speaker 3: can't keep doing the same thing all your life. There
- 44:21Speaker 3: are people that do that. Whatever they were doing in 1983,
- 44:25Speaker 3: good enough for now. They just keep doing the same
- 44:27Speaker 3: show every day. Trump came up with the best name
- 44:30Speaker 3: for those people. He calls them stopped clocks. This guy's
- 44:34Speaker 3: just a stopped clock. He's just doing the same thing
- 44:36Speaker 3: he's always done. So Howard Stern did have to evolve
- 44:39Speaker 3: and change, but I think he went in the wrong direction,
- 44:42Speaker 3: way in the wrong direction. So he's down to one,
- 44:47Speaker 3: one day a week. And, you know, it's two channels.
- 44:50Speaker 7: It's serious.
- 44:51Speaker 3: Howard 100, Howard 101. So they're taking away 101. They've
- 44:55Speaker 3: taken it away from him. He's laid off a lot
- 44:59Speaker 3: of people, just, After the last round of layoffs, they
- 45:02Speaker 3: just laid off another 12 people. A lot of layoffs
- 45:06Speaker 3: at the Howard outfit there. Now, the 101 channel will
- 45:11Speaker 3: be taken over by Andy Cohen. It'll become Radio Andy.
- 45:15Speaker 3: So the two of them have just recorded a promo
- 45:19Speaker 3: trying to make it look like it's Howard's idea. It's
- 45:23Speaker 3: a promo. It's a video. It's all over Instagram and everywhere. Uh,
- 45:28Speaker 3: with it's Howard and Andy talking and, uh, Howard access.
- 45:32Speaker 3: If he's decided to turn the channel over to Andy,
- 45:36Speaker 3: it's not his idea, but, uh, he's pretending it's his
- 45:39Speaker 3: idea and he wants Andy to take it over and
- 45:41Speaker 3: he's telling him what he wants him to do. Now, the, uh, the,
- 45:45Speaker 3: they're trying to find some saving grace here to make
- 45:47Speaker 3: it look like Howard's not being pushed out. So they've
- 45:50Speaker 3: made a deal with HBO max. Apparently it's not much
- 45:53Speaker 3: of a deal financially, but that, uh, one show week that,
- 45:57Speaker 3: you know, they were Howard Stern studio is also a
- 46:00Speaker 3: TV studio. So besides doing the radio show, there's video
- 46:04Speaker 3: of every show. And a lot of our shows here
- 46:06Speaker 3: do that. If you go across the hall, their Charlemagne
- 46:09Speaker 3: studio is also a TV studio, uh, down the hall
- 46:12Speaker 3: that way, Elvis Duran studio, also a TV studio. So
- 46:16Speaker 3: both those shows, they do video. So there's a TV version,
- 46:19Speaker 3: a radio version. Howard does the same thing. So, They're
- 46:23Speaker 3: going to chop up that one hour or that one
- 46:25Speaker 3: show a week that he does into one hour and
- 46:29Speaker 3: make it a TV show. And that'll be on HBO Max. Now,
- 46:32Speaker 3: apparently it's not much of a money deal, but it'll
- 46:36Speaker 3: drop on Thursdays. So you can watch an hour of
- 46:42Speaker 3: it on Thursday. Another problem is nobody's listening to the
- 46:44Speaker 3: radio show anymore. So I don't know who's going to
- 46:47Speaker 3: watch this one hour. And the problem is he does.
- 46:49Speaker 3: He started doing these interviews. And his diehards say, oh,
- 46:53Speaker 3: what an interview. Oh, is he a great interviewer? The
- 46:55Speaker 3: worst interviews. They take like three and a half hours.
- 46:59Speaker 3: Every question is like 15 minutes long. It's just ponderous,
- 47:02Speaker 3: these interviews. If you cut them up into the highlights,
- 47:05Speaker 3: it's great. It's great where McCartney tells a couple of
- 47:08Speaker 3: great stories. You cut that together. So that's why the
- 47:11Speaker 3: HBO show might work. But if you listen to the
- 47:13Speaker 3: whole three-hour interview, it's just dragging on and on. So
- 47:17Speaker 3: this should be the, I think he signed a three-year
- 47:20Speaker 3: contract or four-year contract, something like that. But that'll be
- 47:23Speaker 3: the end. Then he'll kind of wrap it up. Hey,
- 47:25Speaker 3: speaking of that, Tim Cook stepped down yesterday as chairman
- 47:29Speaker 3: of Apple. There's no more Tim Cook. The new guy
- 47:32Speaker 3: took over today. Today it's being run by the new
- 47:36Speaker 3: guy who's, where's his name here? John Ternes, who had
- 47:41Speaker 3: been head of Apple's hardware division, But apparently he was
- 47:44Speaker 3: the closest guy to Tim Cook. They were inseparable at
- 47:47Speaker 3: all the meetings. So he's really groomed this guy. Now,
- 47:52Speaker 3: when Tim Cook took over, everybody was upset Steve Jobs
- 47:55Speaker 3: was gone. They had no faith in Tim Cook. But
- 48:00Speaker 3: under Tim Cook, they've grown to become a $ 4 trillion company.
- 48:05Speaker 3: If you have Apple stock, you've made a fortune under
- 48:07Speaker 3: Tim Cook. So he's chosen John Ternus. Hopefully he will
- 48:12Speaker 3: lead them to bigger and better things. Obviously, Apple, huge
- 48:16Speaker 3: success when it comes to hardware, phones, all that stuff.
- 48:20Speaker 3: The criticism of Cook is he wasn't good enough with AI.
- 48:24Speaker 3: He didn't keep up. He's a little behind in AI.
- 48:27Speaker 3: Ternus said he'll work on that. That's his number one priority.
- 48:31Speaker 3: A little more AI in Siri. Oh, God, that's all
- 48:34Speaker 3: we need. Hey, by the way, he's going to make
- 48:36Speaker 3: his debut publicly, Ternus, on I think it's September 9th.
- 48:40Speaker 3: They're going to introduce all the new stuff. The new
- 48:43Speaker 3: Apple Watch Series 12. It'll have improved health and fitness tracking.
- 48:48Speaker 3: All right, because some of the health stuff in the
- 48:51Speaker 3: Apple Watch, especially the sleep tracker, totally, completely inaccurate sometimes.
- 48:57Speaker 3: The new phones will be coming out. Everybody believes they'll
- 49:00Speaker 3: have the first foldable phone. You can unfold the phone.
- 49:05Speaker 3: It becomes twice the size, the screen. It's going to
- 49:08Speaker 3: be over $ 2, 000. I know Samsung and.
- 49:13Speaker 3: A lot of Android phones were foldable, but they had
- 49:16Speaker 3: a crease. You could see the crease. Apple did not
- 49:19Speaker 3: want to do it until they got rid of it.
- 49:20Speaker 7: Of the crease.
- 49:21Speaker 3: They claim they've gotten rid of the crease. The new
- 49:23Speaker 3: iPhone 18 will be out September 9th. Longer battery life.
- 49:28Speaker 3: The featured one will be a deep red color. It's
- 49:31Speaker 3: going to have a much better camera, all that stuff.
- 49:34Speaker 3: So that's where you get to see this guy, John Ternes.
- 49:37Speaker 3: That's where he'll make his debut. The new AirPods, well,
- 49:42Speaker 3: it looks like they may have cameras in them. I
- 49:43Speaker 3: don't know. There's a lot of privacy concerns because the
- 49:46Speaker 3: cameras will be looking in every direction. But supposedly with
- 49:50Speaker 3: the camera, it'll help the phone do much better with
- 49:54Speaker 3: the sound for some reason. All right, well, that all
- 49:58Speaker 3: comes out. You'll see September 9th, they'll unveil all this stuff.
- 50:01Speaker 3: That doesn't mean it'll be available September 9th, but it
- 50:04Speaker 3: usually comes out a couple weeks after that. Hey, Nicki Minaj...
- 50:08Speaker 3: And Dean Cain, these are two stars, Hollywood types, that
- 50:12Speaker 3: are actually conservatives and Trump supporters. That's unusual for Hollywood.
- 50:16Speaker 3: Nicki Minaj and Dean Cain. So President Trump is going
- 50:20Speaker 3: to use them, his administration, the Small Business Administration. You know,
- 50:24Speaker 3: every so often they do a Shark Tank sort of parody.
- 50:28Speaker 3: It's a competition for the Small Business Administration. They give
- 50:32Speaker 3: a million dollars away to whoever's got a good idea
- 50:34Speaker 3: for a small business. So they're going to do like
- 50:36Speaker 3: a Shark Tank style competition. And they've got Nicki Minaj
- 50:41Speaker 3: and Dean Cain to host it. You'll be seeing a
- 50:44Speaker 3: lot more of Dean Cain. This guy's going to do
- 50:47Speaker 3: a lot. He's a conservative. It's unusual for Hollywood. Hollywood
- 50:50Speaker 3: kind of turned their back on him. But watch, he's
- 50:52Speaker 3: going to turn to broadcasting and shows and all that
- 50:56Speaker 3: kind of stuff. Political type stuff. Hey, we'll take some
- 51:00Speaker 3: calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800 3-2-1-0-7-10. Welcome back
- 51:10Speaker 3: to the Mark Simone Show.
- 51:12Speaker 11: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
- 51:17Speaker 3: Hey, we'll take some calls. And we always like to
- 51:20Speaker 3: get new callers. If you've never called before, give us
- 51:22Speaker 3: a call. 800-321-0710 is the number.
- 51:23Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
- 51:24Speaker 3: Let's go to Mara in Nevada. Mara, how are you doing?
- 51:36Speaker 27: A very old caller.
- 51:39Speaker 3: How old are you?
- 51:41Speaker 27: A very old caller, Mark. I'm so happy for this
- 51:45Speaker 27: extra hour, 9 to 12. You know what time I
- 51:48Speaker 27: had to get up this morning?
- 51:49Speaker 19: Yeah.
- 51:49Speaker 27: A quarter to 6.
- 51:51Speaker 3: So a three-hour time difference, right? It's 6 o'clock.
- 51:55Speaker 27: Yes, and I'm so happy. I'm sitting here. I got dressed.
- 51:59Speaker 27: I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and I'm sitting
- 52:01Speaker 27: here listening to you.
- 52:02Speaker 3: Now, older people... Older people. Really older people. Why do
- 52:07Speaker 3: they all get up at 5 in the morning? It's
- 52:08Speaker 3: not like they've got to go to work.
- 52:10Speaker 27: No, I usually get up around 6.30.
- 52:12Speaker 3: Who gets up at 6.30? Why do you get up
- 52:13Speaker 3: so early?
- 52:15Speaker 27: Well, because the sun is out here. You know, it's
- 52:18Speaker 27: sunny all the time. You can't stay. I'm a morning person. Well,
- 52:22Speaker 27: I don't go to bed until 9.30, 10 o'clock.
- 52:24Speaker 3: Oh, my God. What a wild woman.
- 52:25Speaker 24: 9.30.
- 52:26Speaker 3: Right.
- 52:27Speaker 27: 96 years old. That's pretty good.
- 52:30Speaker 24: Right.
- 52:30Speaker 3: That Target demo. Perfect. Now, in Las Vegas... You're not
- 52:34Speaker 3: supposed to go to sleep at 9 o'clock.
- 52:37Speaker 4: Oh, no.
- 52:37Speaker 27: But, you know, I don't go. It's close. We're 45
- 52:41Speaker 27: miles away. I would like to go to the sphere.
- 52:44Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 52:45Speaker 27: They say it's very nice. But, you know, I have
- 52:49Speaker 27: macular degeneration, although I don't need a walker or a cane.
- 52:54Speaker 27: It's difficult with steps going down. So some things I
- 52:58Speaker 27: can't see, but I hear it's wonderful and exciting.
- 53:01Speaker 3: Yeah, you would love it. Well, I don't know if
- 53:04Speaker 3: you're a big fan of the acts that play there.
- 53:06Speaker 3: You're not a big Eagles fan, are you?
- 53:08Speaker 11: No, no.
- 53:09Speaker 27: I'm Frank Sinatra.
- 53:10Speaker 3: You know, that's my age. See, if you go to
- 53:12Speaker 3: the Sphere, it's not going to be Andy Williams, if
- 53:15Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It might not be an
- 53:16Speaker 3: act you like.
- 53:17Speaker 27: I know he's gone.
- 53:19Speaker 8: All right.
- 53:23Speaker 27: I love Freddie Mercury.
- 53:25Speaker 3: Wow, there you go. Contemporary. What did he die, 40
- 53:27Speaker 3: years ago? That's very contemporary.
- 53:29Speaker 27: Well, no, the last movie I went to see was
- 53:31Speaker 27: Bohemian Rhapsody.
- 53:33Speaker 8: Great.
- 53:34Speaker 6: Wow.
- 53:34Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it. That's 30 years ago.
- 53:36Speaker 27: I went to the movies to see Bohemian Rhapsody.
- 53:38Speaker 3: All right. Well, thanks for calling, Mara. Let's go to
- 53:43Speaker 3: Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how are you doing?
- 53:45Speaker 21: Good morning, Mark. Mark, I'm okay. I believe that the
- 53:48Speaker 21: city council passing outdoor dining 24-7, 360 days a year,
- 53:52Speaker 21: is just another veiled attempt. to eliminate cars in New
- 53:59Speaker 21: York City. Tell me, who is going to eat out
- 54:03Speaker 21: in a shed? I don't care where it is. When
- 54:08Speaker 21: it's five degrees out in New York City and there's
- 54:11Speaker 21: snow everywhere except where they have the steam pipes under
- 54:16Speaker 21: the street, Con Edison steam pipes that have melted in
- 54:20Speaker 21: the snow. This is just another attempt. And if they're
- 54:24Speaker 21: doing it, These people who put these sheds out beyond
- 54:30Speaker 21: the curb, they should have to pay not only a fee,
- 54:33Speaker 21: a permit fee, they should have to pay rent for
- 54:37Speaker 21: the city's real estate because that's the real estate of
- 54:40Speaker 21: the public.
- 54:41Speaker 3: Yeah, well, once again, Vincent, you're absolutely right. It doesn't
- 54:44Speaker 3: make sense to block the road, but you're right. They
- 54:46Speaker 3: hate cars, so that's why they're doing it. Good call, Vincent.
- 54:49Speaker 3: Thanks for calling. Let's go to Michael in Oyster Bay. Michael,
- 54:52Speaker 3: how are you doing?
- 54:54Speaker 16: Hey, great, great.
- 54:55Speaker 23: I like the extra hour also. I have a question
- 54:58Speaker 23: for you.
- 54:58Speaker 21: What's your opinion?
- 54:59Speaker 23: Donald Trump wants to change the daylight savings time, but
- 55:01Speaker 23: here's what I think he should do. The weather's been lousy,
- 55:03Speaker 23: like in May and June over the last couple of years.
- 55:05Speaker 23: Can he move summer to start July 1st and end
- 55:07Speaker 23: October 15th?
- 55:08Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't move that daylight savings. I'd make it
- 55:12Speaker 3: two hours. No, you need an extra hour of daylight,
- 55:17Speaker 3: especially there in Oyster Bay. You got Cooper Bluff. You
- 55:19Speaker 3: got all that stuff there. You need more.
- 55:21Speaker 23: Yeah, I want to go boating.
- 55:22Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 55:23Speaker 3: Yeah. All right. Well, thanks for calling. Let's go to
- 55:25Speaker 3: Tim in Hartsdale. Tim, how are you doing?
- 55:29Speaker 6: Hi, Mark.
- 55:29Speaker 23: I love your show.
- 55:30Speaker 8: Yeah, I was just calling.
- 55:32Speaker 16: I had a great suggestion, I think, for Howard Stern.
- 55:35Speaker 3: Yes.
- 55:36Speaker 8: I think they should put him on The View.
- 55:39Speaker 3: I think he would fit right in. Well, actually, he
- 55:43Speaker 3: looks like an old woman, and he does say all
- 55:47Speaker 3: the left-wing things. You're right. He would be perfect there.
- 55:49Speaker 3: He looks like one of them. Yeah, you're right. No,
- 55:51Speaker 3: I like that idea. He's a crazy left-winger, looks like
- 55:55Speaker 3: an old lady, acts like an old lady, be perfect
- 55:57Speaker 3: for the view. It is a good idea. Let's go
- 55:59Speaker 3: to Barney in Eastport. Barney, where's Eastport? Next to Northport?
- 56:04Speaker 13: Eastport's east of Long Island, just a little west of
- 56:08Speaker 13: West Hampton Beach.
- 56:09Speaker 3: Oh, that's way out there then.
- 56:11Speaker 20: Yeah.
- 56:11Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 56:13Speaker 13: And so anyway, Mark, I do want to talk to you.
- 56:15Speaker 13: We're talking about the demise of variety shows, but I,
- 56:18Speaker 13: Another thing I wanted to mention was that, you know,
- 56:20Speaker 13: Dolly Parton passed Tim Curry, but one of my favorites
- 56:23Speaker 13: just passed J.P.
- 56:24Speaker 8: Morgan.
- 56:25Speaker 3: J.P. Morgan. You were her fan. There's not a lot
- 56:28Speaker 3: of J.P. Morgan fans out there.
- 56:30Speaker 21: Oh, I love J.P.
- 56:31Speaker 3: Morgan.
- 56:31Speaker 13: Especially when she flashed the audience on the Gong Show. Anyway,
- 56:36Speaker 13: you were talking about the demise of the variety shows.
- 56:39Speaker 28: Do you remember this one?
- 56:41Speaker 13: Saturday Night Live?
- 56:42Speaker 3: Howard Cosell? It was on... With Howard Cosell?
- 56:46Speaker 13: Not the Saturday night, you know, this was a.
- 56:50Speaker 3: I'm trying to tell you, the one with Howard Cosell.
- 56:52Speaker 13: It was 75. It was hosted by Howard Cosell.
- 56:57Speaker 3: It took you a while to catch up. Things are
- 56:59Speaker 3: a little slow out there in the Hamptons, but thanks
- 57:02Speaker 3: for calling. Yeah, believe it or not, before there was
- 57:04Speaker 3: a Saturday Night Live, I guess it was Rune Arledge
- 57:09Speaker 3: was running ABC. Before there was ever a Saturday Night Live,
- 57:12Speaker 3: Rune Arledge got the idea of.
- 57:16Speaker 3: Bringing back the Ed Sullivan show. But instead of Sunday nights,
- 57:19Speaker 3: they'd do it Saturday night, primetime, big primetime show. And
- 57:23Speaker 3: it would be like the Ed Sullivan, they'd call it
- 57:25Speaker 3: Saturday Night Live. And they got Howard Cosell, who you
- 57:28Speaker 3: might say, well, he's a bit of a stiff for
- 57:29Speaker 3: a variety show, but that's what Ed Sullivan was. So
- 57:32Speaker 3: he was the host. He called his buddy. He was
- 57:34Speaker 3: friends with John Lennon, begged John Lennon to get the
- 57:37Speaker 3: Beals together for a reunion. He couldn't pull that off,
- 57:39Speaker 3: but I think he got John Lennon to come on.
- 57:41Speaker 3: And I think it only ran half a year. The
- 57:44Speaker 3: variety shows by then were dead. They couldn't make it work,
- 57:47Speaker 3: and it just didn't last. But SNL came along and
- 57:51Speaker 3: sold the title, Saturday Night Live, about a year later. Hey,
- 57:54Speaker 3: when we come back, the great talk show host Howie
- 57:57Speaker 3: Carr will be with us next. Lots to talk to
- 58:00Speaker 3: him about coming up on 710WOR.
- 58:04Speaker 11: The Mark Simone Show, now nine till noon weekdays.
- 58:08Speaker 1: On 710WOR.
- 58:12Speaker 3: Well, one of the great talk show hosts in the world,
- 58:15Speaker 3: Howie Carr. You can hear him on iHeart. You can
- 58:18Speaker 3: hear his show, his podcast. Just go to the iHeart app.
- 58:20Speaker 3: You can get all of his best-selling books. And actually,
- 58:23Speaker 3: you can get everything at his website, HowieCarrShow.com. HowieCarrShow.com. Howie Carr,
- 58:29Speaker 3: how are you doing?
- 58:32Speaker 7: Very good. It's primary election day here in Massachusetts.
- 58:35Speaker 3: Uh-oh.
- 58:37Speaker 21: Yeah, I know.
- 58:37Speaker 7: Marky, Ed Marky, age 80. backed by Bernie Sanders, age 85,
- 58:44Speaker 7: and Elizabeth Warren, age 78, seems to be headed for
- 58:50Speaker 7: victory over the insufferable former presidential candidate, Seth Moulton. Seth
- 58:56Speaker 7: Moulton ran for president the same year Eric Swalwell did.
- 58:59Speaker 7: At least Moulton's going to lose, but at least he
- 59:02Speaker 7: hasn't been stopped by FBI agents at the airport. He
- 59:05Speaker 7: had his cell phones grabbed.
- 59:08Speaker 3: Ed Markey's been around Massachusetts. for a million years. You
- 59:11Speaker 3: guys are used to him. What's the problem with him?
- 59:16Speaker 7: As someone at the Statehouse, a fellow Democrat says, he's
- 59:20Speaker 7: the man that the time forgot. He's been there since
- 59:23Speaker 7: Gerald Ford was president. And he's never done anything, never
- 59:32Speaker 7: done anything. And he, uh, you know, he files separate
- 59:35Speaker 7: taxes from his wife. So he says, I'm not getting rich,
- 59:38Speaker 7: but he's got a nice measure. His wife has a
- 59:40Speaker 7: nice mansion in Chevy chase. He barely, he, he, I
- 59:44Speaker 7: don't think he spends any time in Massachusetts.
- 59:46Speaker 3: I mean, he's.
- 59:48Speaker 7: I guess this is good news for Chuck Schumer, though,
- 59:50Speaker 7: because I think Seth Moulton would vote to, like so
- 59:54Speaker 7: many of the others, would vote to get rid of
- 59:55Speaker 7: Chuck Schumer. But again, Chuck Schumer's a dead man walking himself,
- 59:59Speaker 7: isn't he?
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: So what's the difference? Mark, he sounds like Schumer, a
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: guy who does nothing, been there too long.
- 1:00:04Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: How did he survive?
- 1:00:10Speaker 7: I don't know. He's just, I guess maybe he's more
- 1:00:14Speaker 7: innocuous than Schumer.
- 1:00:16Speaker 24: Yeah.
- 1:00:17Speaker 7: And he's, you know, he's, he's smart. And the only
- 1:00:19Speaker 7: time he's up here is when he's. running for reelection.
- 1:00:22Speaker 7: Whereas Schumer, you know, I mean, you, you remember back
- 1:00:26Speaker 7: in the old days when, when he was first elected
- 1:00:28Speaker 7: to Congress and then when he was running against the Fonz,
- 1:00:31Speaker 7: I mean, he, he, he was this guy, the people
- 1:00:34Speaker 7: in New York used to show me this stuff, you know, they, they, they,
- 1:00:38Speaker 7: they have the sheets that, you know, what, you know,
- 1:00:42Speaker 7: what the news events are of the day. And he
- 1:00:44Speaker 7: knew that there was nothing happening on Sunday. So every
- 1:00:47Speaker 7: Sunday he would be the first he would be the first, uh,
- 1:00:50Speaker 7: you know, guy on the, uh, on the, the sheet
- 1:00:53Speaker 7: that went out to all the TV stations and the
- 1:00:55Speaker 7: newspapers and the wire services. And, you know, Marky, Marky
- 1:00:59Speaker 7: has been smart enough not to, I mean, you know,
- 1:01:01Speaker 7: when he just raises his head, like, you know, when
- 1:01:03Speaker 7: the Patriots last won the Superbowl, he congratulated the Boston Patriots, which,
- 1:01:10Speaker 7: you know, they haven't been the Boston Patriots since 1970,
- 1:01:13Speaker 7: but he didn't know.
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: Well, Uh, yeah, he's kind of like, uh, it's like
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: Howard Stern, these old fossils after 75 years, you got
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: to quit. You got to go, uh, Schumer. So, Hey, uh,
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: you're a protege there, Caroline Levitt stepping down. What do
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: you think she'll do next?
- 1:01:33Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I think, I think she's going to
- 1:01:36Speaker 7: go to work for MAGA, but I think that just seems,
- 1:01:38Speaker 7: I would think that's just sort of a, uh, you know, a, uh,
- 1:01:42Speaker 7: transitional place for her. I don't know. I mean, do
- 1:01:45Speaker 7: you think she goes to work for Fox?
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you trained her. I know she's got a
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: standing offer at Fox. But I can imagine her having
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: a huge TV career at some point. A lot of
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: those ex-press secretaries do. Dana Perino, Kayleigh McEnany. Yeah, that's
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: where she'll end up.
- 1:02:03Speaker 7: I just don't know what the long-term future is for
- 1:02:07Speaker 7: the cable TV stations. I know they'll be around for
- 1:02:10Speaker 7: a while, but.
- 1:02:13Speaker 7: Is that really the way to go, or is it
- 1:02:15Speaker 7: better to just get into streaming and just try to
- 1:02:19Speaker 7: anticipate the next wave?
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: What do you think? I don't know. Fox is pretty
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: good over there. They send you a big limousine to
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: pick you up. They got a buffet outside the studio.
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: They got makeup. You don't get all that with the streaming.
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: It's not the same. It's pretty nice.
- 1:02:36Speaker 24: It is.
- 1:02:38Speaker 7: It goes fast. As Ernest Hemingway said, first you go
- 1:02:41Speaker 7: bankrupt gradually, then suddenly. It happens quickly in the media, Mark.
- 1:02:47Speaker 7: You may have noticed in the last few decades. What
- 1:02:50Speaker 7: is happening at CBS, by the way? What are they doing?
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: I don't know. That's not going to go well. You know,
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: 60 Minutes, if this were Don Hewitt and the real
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: 60 Minutes, and you saw this fraud and that kid
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: exposing old Nick Shirley, wouldn't they send Mike Wallace right away? When,
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: how could they ignore a story like that and not
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: cover it?
- 1:03:12Speaker 7: Yeah, I, I don't, I don't know. I mean, who
- 1:03:15Speaker 7: are the, who are these new people that they're bringing in?
- 1:03:17Speaker 7: I mean, they, they don't, uh, they, do they, do
- 1:03:19Speaker 7: they know anything about TV news? I mean, not, not
- 1:03:21Speaker 7: that you have to know a lot, but I don't
- 1:03:24Speaker 7: think they seem to have any experience.
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: No, I don't know how they get in the building.
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: Cause nobody, nobody's going to recognize them or know the name,
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: get in past that guard. But, uh, Hey, let me
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: ask you something. I was talking about this yesterday. You're
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: the Kennedy expert. You've written the best books on the Kennedys.
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: They don't want Trump's name on the Kennedy Center. They're
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: all up in arms. If these liberals today, if these
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: Democrats today knew what John F. Kennedy stood for, his
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: political positions, wouldn't they want his name off the building too?
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: He was anti-abortion. He was pro-war. He was a tax cutter.
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: Wouldn't they hate him as much?
- 1:03:58Speaker 7: He couldn't get on the ballot in Massachusetts because you've
- 1:04:00Speaker 7: got to get 15% of the vote at the state
- 1:04:03Speaker 7: Democratic convention, and he couldn't do it. And by the way,
- 1:04:08Speaker 7: didn't he build a pool in the White House and
- 1:04:11Speaker 7: nobody said anything? Then Nixon didn't like the pool, so
- 1:04:16Speaker 7: Nixon built a balding alley over it and nobody said anything.
- 1:04:20Speaker 7: Didn't Obama build a pool? build a basketball court going
- 1:04:25Speaker 7: way back. Another Massachusetts president Coolidge built a, built a
- 1:04:29Speaker 7: tennis courts.
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:04:30Speaker 7: I mean, what is the big deal here? I mean,
- 1:04:33Speaker 7: I think we have, I think as one of the
- 1:04:35Speaker 7: Supreme court justices noted, I think we have a precedent
- 1:04:38Speaker 7: here for allowing to do a little work on the
- 1:04:42Speaker 7: white house.
- 1:04:43Speaker 21: Don't we?
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: Very good point. Hey, the midterms, the criticism of the
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: Republicans is, is they don't have their messaging going. They
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: don't have a message. They don't have the right campaign going.
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: Do you agree?
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:04:57Speaker 7: I mean, I wish it were, again, I think I've
- 1:04:59Speaker 7: said this before on the show, but I just, I'm
- 1:05:02Speaker 7: most worried about the fuel prices. You know, it's, you know,
- 1:05:06Speaker 7: gasoline and diesel, which affects everything that's delivered. And now
- 1:05:11Speaker 7: we're getting into the fall and that means home heating
- 1:05:15Speaker 7: oil is I mean, that's what they've got to get
- 1:05:18Speaker 7: under control. I mean, I'm not as gloomy as most people.
- 1:05:23Speaker 7: You know these stories, Texas is in play. Well, isn't
- 1:05:27Speaker 7: that like a standing head in regime-controlled media? Wasn't Beto
- 1:05:32Speaker 7: O'Rourke going to defeat Ted Cruz? I mean, we've heard
- 1:05:37Speaker 7: this stuff before, and I just don't see it happening. And,
- 1:05:44Speaker 7: you know, I mean, and again, there's some there's some
- 1:05:46Speaker 7: states that shouldn't be in play that are for Republicans
- 1:05:49Speaker 7: like Michigan. I mean, that guy, Al-Said, I mean, I
- 1:05:54Speaker 7: was so glad yesterday that Congresswoman McClain finally asked the
- 1:05:58Speaker 7: question that I've been wondering why no one in the
- 1:06:01Speaker 7: media will ask. If Medicare for all is so good,
- 1:06:05Speaker 7: why doesn't Al-Said's wife, who's a psychiatrist, accept Medicare, Medicaid
- 1:06:10Speaker 7: patients into her practice?
- 1:06:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: Yeah, no, great point. But you know who benefits from
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: all of this? AOC was the crazy radical. Now, after
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: all these El-Sayeds show up, she looks like Margaret Thatcher
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: compared to these people. This is going to help her
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: run in 2028 if she wants.
- 1:06:26Speaker 7: Yeah, but once a once this kind of revolution gets
- 1:06:31Speaker 7: going here, you know, I mean, this is the pattern,
- 1:06:33Speaker 7: isn't it? They, they just keep eating their own and they,
- 1:06:37Speaker 7: and they just, so she, I mean, you know, if it,
- 1:06:40Speaker 7: if this follows the pattern of say the French revolution
- 1:06:42Speaker 7: or the, or the Roman Republic going back to the
- 1:06:45Speaker 7: death of Julius Caesar, I mean, she's going to be
- 1:06:48Speaker 7: taken out eventually too.
- 1:06:50Speaker 8: Right.
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: That's a good point. Cause I don't think these Chuck Schumer, Hakeem, Jeffrey,
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: these types don't realize you can cater to them and
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: bow down to this DSA, but you're right. That's the–
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: every dictator, the first people they hang are the leaders
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: that we're trying to appease.
- 1:07:04Speaker 7: Leon Trotsky could tell you that story if he were
- 1:07:06Speaker 7: still around. How about what happened to Brad Lander the
- 1:07:09Speaker 7: other day?
- 1:07:10Speaker 21: You know?
- 1:07:12Speaker 7: He did their dirty work for them. He was Kerensky,
- 1:07:16Speaker 7: the white Russian for them. And then they– And then
- 1:07:20Speaker 7: Lenin and Stalin turned around, and they're going to whack him.
- 1:07:22Speaker 7: He's going to get whacked in the next primary, right?
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: Well, it couldn't happen to a worse guy, so I
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: don't mind.
- 1:07:28Speaker 6: I know.
- 1:07:28Speaker 11: I know.
- 1:07:29Speaker 7: It's hard to shed any tears for any of these people.
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: Well, Howie Carr, great. Hey, you should read Howie Carr's books.
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: I love Kennedy Babylon, the Kennedy books, the Whitey Bulger books.

- 1:07:42Speaker 7: Yeah, Mass Corruption Volume 2. I'm doing pre-orders now. We
- 1:07:48Speaker 7: just sent the final galleys over to the printer. It'll
- 1:07:50Speaker 7: be printed in October. It's about all the continuing corruption
- 1:07:55Speaker 7: in Massachusetts, which just never ends. And, you know, there
- 1:07:58Speaker 7: have already been new scandals since I finished writing it.
- 1:08:02Speaker 7: But you can order it now. Go to howeygarshow.com and

- 1:08:12Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I went to school in Boston. It
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: was a nice, wonderful New England place. I had no
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: idea what was going on until I read your book,
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: The Brothers Bulger and Mass Corruption. Who knew this stuff
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: was going on there behind the scenes?
- 1:08:25Speaker 7: You should see what's going on. We're breaking stories every
- 1:08:27Speaker 7: week about state police being arrested. The stuff they're doing
- 1:08:30Speaker 7: is just, it's horrible. When I was a kid, the
- 1:08:33Speaker 7: state police were incorruptible. Now they're anything but. And yeah,
- 1:08:38Speaker 7: I don't know. The state, it's... The city on the
- 1:08:42Speaker 7: hill is not what it used to be. The governor
- 1:08:46Speaker 7: went to it but not recognized it. Nor would Cotton matter.

- 1:10:41Speaker 3: Back after the news on 710WOR.
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show.
- 1:10:46Speaker 11: Live from the WOR Life Fact Studios.
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: Well, hey, it's the first day of September already and
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: a rainy day today. Lots to get to this hour. Now,
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: the media always try to mislead you. The economy in crisis.
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: The economy in shambles. We'll get to the truth about
- 1:11:10Speaker 3: that coming up. I am I'm watching MSNBC or whatever
- 1:11:16Speaker 3: it's called now. This is the opening of the hour,
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: the whole segment on Roy Cohen. You know, he was
- 1:11:21Speaker 3: this evil lawyer, Roy Cohen. He was so awful. This
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: is the left-wing view. And he's the guy that created
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: Donald Trump. Actually, the headline they have up on the air,
- 1:11:33Speaker 3: Roy Cohen molded Donald Trump. Roy Cohen was Donald Trump's mentor.
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: Roy Cohen is haunting our politics today. Now, this is
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: all a myth about Roy Cohn. He wasn't the nicest
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: guy in the world. I mean, I knew Roy Cohn.
- 1:11:48Speaker 3: He was pretty bad in a lot of ways, but
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: he wasn't the worst guy on earth. But he did
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: not mold Donald Trump. He was not Donald Trump's mentor.
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: He was a lawyer Donald Trump had. Donald Trump had
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: 100 lawyers. Roy Cohn was one of them. And they
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: make it look like they were almost partners, these two,
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: Roy Cohn and Donald Trump. But you might say, well,
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: why would Donald Trump be using Roy Cohn? Well, because
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: at that time, Roy Cohn was the lawyer of New
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: York City. Roy Cohn was also the attorney for the
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: Catholic Church. He was the Cardinal's attorney. He was George
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: Steinbrenner's attorney. He was Aristotle Onassis' attorney. Everybody had Roy Cohn.
- 1:12:31Speaker 3: And Donald Trump got a kick out of him. Sometimes
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: they go out together, but he was not the mentor.
- 1:12:35Speaker 3: He didn't mold anything in Donald Trump's life. He did
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: teach him some legal tricks that Trump used later in lawsuits.
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: But this is MSNBC. This is CNN, The New York Times,
- 1:12:48Speaker 3: the whole liberal world. They like to create these myths
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: about everything. Things that were just were never true. They
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: just create these whole fantasies, these narratives. They drill it
- 1:12:57Speaker 3: in your head so many times that all the left
- 1:12:59Speaker 3: wing believes it all the time. So you had this
- 1:13:03Speaker 3: knife wielding woman yesterday, this crazy fat slob lunatic with
- 1:13:08Speaker 3: the Knife in each hand, stabbing people. It was horrible.
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: Police had to shoot her dead, but it was horrifying.
- 1:13:15Speaker 3: Young Bank of America Executive 32 stabbed by this woman.
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: Times Square. It was 4.30 p.m. yesterday in Times Square.
- 1:13:24Speaker 3: Listen to an eyewitness.
- 1:13:25Speaker 29: The situation was a Hispanic lady. So they have two
- 1:13:29Speaker 29: knives in her hand. Tried to move up. So police said,
- 1:13:33Speaker 29: drop her. So they continue to move up. when they
- 1:13:37Speaker 29: be like close the police a little bit close not
- 1:13:39Speaker 29: to close it a little bit close.
- 1:13:42Speaker 3: Hard to understand this guy but uh she's got two
- 1:13:45Speaker 3: knives stab people she's uh waving the knives at the
- 1:13:48Speaker 3: cops she then comes towards the cops of course they
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: have to shoot her dead no choice there uh here's
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: the police.
- 1:13:55Speaker 24: Commissioner during the encounter she told the officers quote i'm
- 1:13:59Speaker 24: not dropping anything i would rather kill both of you
- 1:14:04Speaker 24: she repeated i will kill.
- 1:14:05Speaker 3: You All right. Well, I mean, I had no choice.
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: I had to shoot her then and there.
- 1:14:10Speaker 24: The subject waved the knives before stabbing a 68-year-old man
- 1:14:16Speaker 24: in the right side of his abdomen in what appears
- 1:14:19Speaker 24: to be a random and unprovoked attack.
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: Now, let's just point out, this story will go national.
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: You'll see it. The video is quite awful. But you'll
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: see this all over the place. And if you talk
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: to your relatives out of town or friends of yours
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: out of town, They have this idea that New York
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: is a dangerous, terrible place. Everything's in shambles here. New
- 1:14:43Speaker 3: York is booming right now. Crime is up a little.
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: The police commissioner and the mayor will tell you crime
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: is way down. It's up a little in robbery, rape.
- 1:14:54Speaker 3: Subway crime is up a little. But if you're in
- 1:14:56Speaker 3: the middle of Manhattan, it's fine. Most of this crime,
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: it's not good, but it's contained to eight precincts. And
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: you can walk around all over Manhattan. It looks just
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: like it always looked, and it's fine. But as we
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: told you yesterday, if you heard Steve Cuso on this
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: show going over the details, Manhattan is booming. New York
- 1:15:17Speaker 3: City is booming. Rentals, apartment rentals. You can't even get
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: an apartment anymore. There's no inventory left. Everybody's renting apartments
- 1:15:24Speaker 3: like crazy. Apartment sales, high end, through the roof. And
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: as Steve pointed out yesterday, Leasing, commercial leasing, office space, stores, everything.
- 1:15:35Speaker 3: There's a frenzy right now of leasing, everybody leasing and
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: buying up every bit of office space in New York.
- 1:15:43Speaker 3: So New York is booming despite Mom Donnie. I mean,
- 1:15:47Speaker 3: he's a silly, crazy character, this Mom Donnie, but he
- 1:15:52Speaker 3: actually gets nothing done. You're not going to see a
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: pied-à-terre tax. You're not going to see free buses. You're
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: not going to see any of his nonsense. He just talks.
- 1:15:59Speaker 3: He got one thing done yesterday, and that's the outdoor
- 1:16:02Speaker 3: dining year-round. We're going to have year-round outdoor dining.
- 1:16:05Speaker 15: Today's bill signing is reflective of a different policy choice,
- 1:16:09Speaker 15: one that will make New York City feel even more
- 1:16:11Speaker 15: alive than it currently does.
- 1:16:13Speaker 3: Now, he's always battling all this stuff, hates these restaurants,
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: hates all of it. Why did he grant them outdoor dining? Well,
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: Vincent might be right. He hates cars even more. So
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: if they're going to take up part of the road,
- 1:16:25Speaker 3: it hurts the cars. That's one reason. And the other reason...
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: You can do it outdoors. You've got to build all
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: these sheds. It's another thing for them to tax and regulate.
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: You know, these restaurants have to do this outdoor dining.
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: The city shows up with a million fees and all
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: kinds of inspections, and they fine you every two seconds.
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: So they make a lot of money off this outdoor dining.
- 1:16:50Speaker 3: That's why a guy like Mamdani would suddenly be for that.
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: So you've got the new Fed chairman, Kevin Warsh. signaling
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: there might be a slight rate hike. Now, some think
- 1:17:03Speaker 3: that's not a bad idea. And by the way, you
- 1:17:05Speaker 3: know what? John Carney, the greatest economist, he'll be with
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: us later. I'm going to ask him this because some
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: people don't realize they can hike the rates and it
- 1:17:13Speaker 3: can lower the mortgage rates. He'll explain it to you
- 1:17:16Speaker 3: later on. President Trump reacting.
- 1:17:18Speaker 5: What they're doing is they're really saying you can never do,
- 1:17:21Speaker 5: you can never really step in the gas. We could
- 1:17:23Speaker 5: have a GDP of 14, 15, 16, and 20. But
- 1:17:28Speaker 5: every time you do well, we just announced great numbers,
- 1:17:31Speaker 5: and so now they're talking about raising interest rates.
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. Well, we'll ask Carney about it later this hour. Hey,
- 1:17:36Speaker 3: President Trump going after crazy Kathy Hochul, who is running
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: around frantic now because Bruce Blakeman, a very strong candidate,
- 1:17:46Speaker 3: doing very well, just climbing, slowly but surely climbing in
- 1:17:51Speaker 3: the polls. I think on his way to victory in November,
- 1:17:54Speaker 3: Blakeman would be a great governor. Make sure you help him.
- 1:17:59Speaker 3: Make sure you donate. Blakeman for New York dot com.
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: Blakeman for New York dot com. President Trump loves him.
- 1:18:06Speaker 3: But I listened to President Trump on Kathy Hochul yesterday.
- 1:18:09Speaker 5: The governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, just announced that
- 1:18:11Speaker 5: she's letting 7000 people go into criminals. Go right back
- 1:18:17Speaker 5: onto the streets of New York. What's wrong with her?
- 1:18:20Speaker 5: What's wrong with her? How can she do that? So
- 1:18:23Speaker 5: we're able to get people easier, and they're bad people.
- 1:18:26Speaker 5: We want to get bad ones out of here and
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: get them out of here fast, and that's what we're
- 1:18:29Speaker 5: doing in record numbers.
- 1:18:31Speaker 3: Yeah. So that's the problem with Hochul. She's going to
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: have to answer for all this in a debate. She's
- 1:18:39Speaker 3: only agreed to one debate with Blakeman, and she's demanding
- 1:18:42Speaker 3: it be New York One, which has got the lowest
- 1:18:44Speaker 3: viewership of anything. Also, it's extremely biased left-wing. Errol Lewis
- 1:18:50Speaker 3: and all those people, very biased, very left wing. So
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: I think she feels safe there. But I just have
- 1:18:58Speaker 3: a feeling she's not going to get away with one debate.
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: She'll be forced to do a second debate. Blakeman will
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: do much better than her in any debate. Hey, the
- 1:19:07Speaker 3: Lindsey Clancy case, everybody was predicting a hung jury. Well,
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: it's looking like that. Jurors came back today and told
- 1:19:15Speaker 3: the judge they are absolutely deadlocked. The judge has ordered
- 1:19:19Speaker 3: them back into deliberations, fourth day. So they're deliberating as
- 1:19:24Speaker 3: we speak. But I have a feeling this is going
- 1:19:26Speaker 3: to be a hung jury. And, you know, if you
- 1:19:29Speaker 3: kill your kids, murder your children, and you can get
- 1:19:32Speaker 3: a hung jury, that lawyer is going to do very well.
- 1:19:37Speaker 3: He hasn't said yet whether he'd work on the appeal
- 1:19:41Speaker 3: or not. Hey, if you missed the first hour, remember
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: we start at 9 o'clock every day. 9 o'clock every morning.
- 1:19:47Speaker 3: It's a three-hour show now. We're talking about Anna Wintour,
- 1:19:51Speaker 3: and there's more and more coming out about her. She
- 1:19:54Speaker 3: picked a vicious anti-Semite to honor at this stupid Met
- 1:19:59Speaker 3: Gala this year, the fashion designer Galeano. Now, he's not
- 1:20:03Speaker 3: a regular anti-Semite. He's a vicious anti-Semite. over-the-top, crazy anti-Semite.
- 1:20:10Speaker 3: It's nothing to do, it's not even anti-Israel. This guy
- 1:20:13Speaker 3: hates Jews, and he has said so publicly, and there's
- 1:20:18Speaker 3: video of him screaming at Jews in a restaurant that
- 1:20:21Speaker 3: Hitler was right and you should all be gassed. I'm
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: not kidding, there's video of this. He was convicted in
- 1:20:27Speaker 3: Paris for doing this in a restaurant. Hate crime conviction.
- 1:20:31Speaker 3: You couldn't be a bigger anti-Semite. than this guy. So
- 1:20:35Speaker 3: Anna Wintour knew all this. It was all brought to
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: her attention. She still made him the honoree at the gala.
- 1:20:42Speaker 3: He's not the honoree. He withdrew yesterday, said he doesn't
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: want to be a distraction. She's putting out statements, acting
- 1:20:50Speaker 3: as if she deserves credit for doing the right thing.
- 1:20:53Speaker 3: But more and more is coming out and you're going
- 1:20:55Speaker 3: to see more come out over the next few days
- 1:20:58Speaker 3: that apparently everybody involved in the museum, in the gala,
- 1:21:03Speaker 3: in Condé Nast, was going crazy telling her this guy's
- 1:21:06Speaker 3: a vicious anti-Semite. All along, they were demanding she rethink
- 1:21:10Speaker 3: her decision. She never did, so don't give her any credit.
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: And apparently the only reason he withdrew, and she made
- 1:21:17Speaker 3: him withdraw, is the pressure got too great from government,
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: from politicians, from the city council speaker, Julie Menon. And
- 1:21:25Speaker 3: it turns out, and she should have thought of this,
- 1:21:28Speaker 3: this Met Gala, it costs a fortune to go there
- 1:21:32Speaker 3: It used to be, you know, a couple thousand a ticket.
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: Now it's a couple hundred thousand a ticket. Buy a table,
- 1:21:37Speaker 3: it's half a million, it's a million. Well, who buys
- 1:21:39Speaker 3: these tables? Big, big donors. Big, wealthy Manhattan donors. And
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: she wasn't thinking about this. Many of them, a majority
- 1:21:47Speaker 3: of them are Jewish. So apparently the big donors every year,
- 1:21:51Speaker 3: not only to her silly Met Gala, but to the
- 1:21:55Speaker 3: Metropolitan Museum where it's held. The major figures of the
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: Metropolitan Museum apparently went nuts there. And if you look
- 1:22:02Speaker 3: at the Board of Directors Metropolitan Museum, these are massive
- 1:22:06Speaker 3: donors who give millions to the museum, many of them Jewish.
- 1:22:10Speaker 3: So they were going nuts that she would honor a
- 1:22:14Speaker 3: vicious Nazi anti-Semite, a guy who stands in restaurants screaming,
- 1:22:18Speaker 3: you should all be gassed. Hitler was right. I mean,
- 1:22:22Speaker 3: who would honor a guy like this? Who would even
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: know a guy like this? So expect Anna Wintour to
- 1:22:28Speaker 3: be gone from this whole deal. And from Condé Nast.
- 1:22:31Speaker 3: They got to fire her. They got no choice now.
- 1:22:33Speaker 3: More and more people, whistleblowers are coming out saying she
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: was well aware of all this. Everybody was screaming and
- 1:22:40Speaker 3: yelling about it. And she stuck with this guy. So
- 1:22:43Speaker 3: expect her to be gone pretty soon. Hey, Putin, it
- 1:22:48Speaker 3: turns out, is the one world leader supporting Iran. Putin
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: has come out and made statements saying he backs Iran 100%.
- 1:22:59Speaker 3: Putin and Trump have always been enemies. They have nothing
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: to do with each other. Remember, they made up that
- 1:23:03Speaker 3: whole fake Russian collusion. They make, as I said, they
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: make up these narratives. Roy Cohen was his mentor. Fake story.
- 1:23:11Speaker 3: Putin and Trump are collaborating. Putin hates Trump. And he's
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: proving that today by backing Iran. He's putting out public
- 1:23:19Speaker 3: statements how he's behind Iran 100 percent. The Iran war.
- 1:23:24Speaker 3: You know, I don't mind this off on bomb the
- 1:23:27Speaker 3: hell out of him for a week. and then strangle
- 1:23:29Speaker 3: them economically for another few weeks. It could continue this
- 1:23:32Speaker 3: way for a while. But they're getting close to the end.
- 1:23:35Speaker 5: They don't really know.
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: In my opinion, they don't know who the leader is.
- 1:23:38Speaker 3: You have the... There's nobody in charge. The economy is crumbling.
- 1:23:42Speaker 5: They're a failed nation. They've got 350% inflation. They have
- 1:23:47Speaker 5: no currency. They're not paying their soldiers. Their leaders are
- 1:23:52Speaker 5: largely dead. Their Navy is gone. Their Air Force is gone.
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: Their.
- 1:23:58Speaker 5: Surveillance equipment is almost entirely gone. That doesn't mean we
- 1:24:03Speaker 5: won't smack them.
- 1:24:05Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's just going to get worse for them.
- 1:24:08Speaker 3: The whole place will just collapse. Hey, you remember Maduro, Venezuela?
- 1:24:16Speaker 3: Middle of the night, we go in, we capture Maduro
- 1:24:18Speaker 3: in his pajamas, take him out of his bed. He's
- 1:24:20Speaker 3: the president of the country with all his security. Amazing
- 1:24:24Speaker 3: military operation, and we got him. But he's been in
- 1:24:26Speaker 3: prison all this time, a long time. How long has
- 1:24:30Speaker 3: it been, like a year in jail? Most of the
- 1:24:32Speaker 3: year in jail? So for the first time, he was
- 1:24:35Speaker 3: seen publicly yesterday. They paraded him around. He looked great.
- 1:24:39Speaker 3: He lost a lot of weight, slimmed down. He was
- 1:24:42Speaker 3: wearing a gray sweatsuit with white sneakers. You know, normally
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: you look like a prisoner with the gray sweatsuit and
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: the white sneakers. Now he looks like everybody in New York.
- 1:24:51Speaker 3: That's all you see are sweatsuits and sneakers. Go out
- 1:24:55Speaker 3: in the hall here. All you see are sweatsuits and
- 1:24:56Speaker 3: sneakers everywhere on everybody. But he looked great. Some guys
- 1:25:01Speaker 3: go to prison, they come out looking much better because
- 1:25:05Speaker 3: they go in as a fat slob and they're in prison,
- 1:25:07Speaker 3: in the prison gym. They're working out all day. They're
- 1:25:09Speaker 3: eating crappy food and they slim down. So they look
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: pretty good. Hey, Jim Comey, James Comey, the sleazy, dirty
- 1:25:18Speaker 3: FBI director, dirty cop James Comey, They're still investigating him.
- 1:25:22Speaker 3: He's got another problem. You remember he was conspiring with
- 1:25:25Speaker 3: this guy, Daniel Richman, who was a professor, I think
- 1:25:28Speaker 3: at Columbia, who he was using to leak stuff to.
- 1:25:32Speaker 3: He would leak it to Richman, who would leak it
- 1:25:34Speaker 3: to the New York Times. Well, they've got a probe now.
- 1:25:39Speaker 3: They're going to bring Richman before a grand jury. He's
- 1:25:43Speaker 3: going to be in legal hot water. And will he
- 1:25:46Speaker 3: go to jail? Will he do it now? He'll probably talk.
- 1:25:49Speaker 3: He may testify against Comey. So the Comey stuff is
- 1:25:52Speaker 3: not over. The noose is tightening around him. So we'll
- 1:25:56Speaker 3: see what happens. Hey, we'll take some calls next. And
- 1:25:59Speaker 3: if you haven't called before, call us. We always like
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: new callers. 800-321-0710 is the number. We'll take some calls next.
- 1:26:05Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
- 1:26:13Speaker 11: What's better than two hours of Mark Simone?
- 1:26:16Speaker 8: Three.
- 1:26:16Speaker 11: The Mark Simone Show. Now nine till noon weekdays.
- 1:26:22Speaker 18: 710WOR.
- 1:26:24Speaker 3: Hey, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. Let's
- 1:26:30Speaker 3: go to Marshall in Jacksonville, Florida. Marshall, how you doing?
- 1:26:35Speaker 28: I'm doing good, Mark. Mark, I really enjoy your show,
- 1:26:37Speaker 28: and I thank you for all that you bring to
- 1:26:39Speaker 28: the airwaves. I know that you had a relationship with
- 1:26:42Speaker 28: Don Imus. I'm wondering why, since the passing of Don Imus,
- 1:26:46Speaker 28: there's been no book, there's been no documentary, there's been
- 1:26:49Speaker 28: no miniseries, nothing. Do you have any word on why
- 1:26:53Speaker 28: that's the case?
- 1:26:56Speaker 3: That's a good question. Well, Don Imus wrote a couple
- 1:26:58Speaker 3: books himself. There has been a book or two about
- 1:27:03Speaker 3: Imus written, but not in recent years. Well, to do
- 1:27:08Speaker 3: a documentary, you'd have to find people to say nice
- 1:27:10Speaker 3: things about him.
- 1:27:13Speaker 28: You remember when he left, he said he was going
- 1:27:15Speaker 28: away to write his autobiography, and then not very long
- 1:27:18Speaker 28: after that, he passed. And I wonder if there were
- 1:27:20Speaker 28: a lot of nondisclosure agreements out there, because there's been.
- 1:27:24Speaker 3: No. I mean, listen, we all loved Imus, and he
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: was a great, great pioneer. He was the first shock jock,
- 1:27:30Speaker 3: and he changed radio, and we all copied him like crazy.
- 1:27:33Speaker 3: But it could be difficult to be around.
- 1:27:36Speaker 7: He would.
- 1:27:37Speaker 3: pull a gun on people off the air. He would
- 1:27:40Speaker 3: yell and scream and, uh, carry on. Uh, it wasn't easy.
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: I'm editing. Well, I'm leaving out stuff here.
- 1:27:49Speaker 28: I can tell you're editing. Well, I sure appreciate that.
- 1:27:52Speaker 3: I'll tell you the good thing. Go on YouTube and
- 1:27:55Speaker 3: just type. I miss a million videos. We'll come up.
- 1:27:58Speaker 3: You can watch a million of his shows. You can
- 1:28:01Speaker 3: see lots of stuff with IMS. Just go on YouTube and, uh, and,
- 1:28:05Speaker 3: and watch him there. Uh, Yeah, we miss him. I
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: luckily didn't have to be around him too much because
- 1:28:15Speaker 3: I was always filling in for him. I used to
- 1:28:16Speaker 3: fill in for him. He used to get a lot
- 1:28:18Speaker 3: of vacation. Like 10 weeks a year, I'd fill in
- 1:28:20Speaker 3: for him. And there was, of course, Charles McCord. I
- 1:28:25Speaker 3: don't think Charles would be on the documentary either. And
- 1:28:29Speaker 3: there was Rob Bartlett and all those people. Dagan McDowell,
- 1:28:33Speaker 3: who you can watch on Fox Business Now. Let's go
- 1:28:37Speaker 3: to Tony in Manhattan. Tony, how you doing?
- 1:28:40Speaker 18: I'm doing fine. Thank you, my friend. This is the
- 1:28:43Speaker 18: second time I call you.
- 1:28:44Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:28:44Speaker 18: And I enjoy your show for a long time. You
- 1:28:49Speaker 18: took over from Geraldo.
- 1:28:52Speaker 3: I took over for who?
- 1:28:54Speaker 18: Geraldo.
- 1:28:55Speaker 3: Oh, Geraldo Rivera.
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:28:57Speaker 3: I took over for him 10 to noon.
- 1:29:00Speaker 18: And I tell my wife that you are a one-man show.
- 1:29:03Speaker 3: I took over for Geraldo? I don't even remember that.
- 1:29:07Speaker 3: I used to work with him. I don't think I
- 1:29:08Speaker 3: took over for him.
- 1:29:09Speaker 18: I remember that Geraldo used to have a show, then
- 1:29:13Speaker 18: he left, right? And then I started listening to you, Maximon,
- 1:29:17Speaker 18: and believing you are a one-man show. Maybe my accent
- 1:29:20Speaker 18: is not that good. We love your accent.
- 1:29:22Speaker 3: Where are you from?
- 1:29:24Speaker 18: I am from Puerto Rico.
- 1:29:26Speaker 3: Oh, no, we love your accent. It's a great accent.
- 1:29:27Speaker 3: You sound like a very nice man. What do you
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: do for a living, Tony?
- 1:29:32Speaker 18: I used to. I used to work in Kifu Supermarket,
- 1:29:37Speaker 18: and I started as a porter, as a porter, and
- 1:29:40Speaker 18: I finished as a manager, and then I have retinitis pigmentosa.
- 1:29:45Speaker 18: You find it? Retinitis pigmentosa from my mother. I have
- 1:29:50Speaker 18: a good talent to be a... businessman, but I was
- 1:29:53Speaker 18: losing it slowly and slowly.
- 1:29:54Speaker 3: Well, you sound like a nice guy, Tony. Now, let
- 1:29:56Speaker 3: me ask you a question. Whenever I'm in the supermarket,
- 1:29:59Speaker 3: you see all these cashiers, but there's always one older guy.
- 1:30:01Speaker 3: He's clearly the manager, and he always looks totally frazzled.
- 1:30:05Speaker 3: He looks like it's the roughest job in the world.
- 1:30:09Speaker 3: He looks like it's nothing but trouble running a supermarket.
- 1:30:12Speaker 18: Because when I came to New York, I went to
- 1:30:15Speaker 18: the gym, YMCA, and then I become a powerlifter. I
- 1:30:19Speaker 18: am And I went around the world. I have a
- 1:30:23Speaker 18: triple crown. I won in Europe. Well, I will tell
- 1:30:29Speaker 18: you a story. If you can take it, listen. Tony
- 1:30:34Speaker 18: Melendez powerlifting. The story of Tony Melendez. Tony Melendez powerlifting.
- 1:30:41Speaker 3: Okay, well, we'll all Google it and look it up
- 1:30:43Speaker 3: and read your story.
- 1:30:44Speaker 18: You know why I want that? Because I am a
- 1:30:46Speaker 18: motivational speaker coming from Puerto Rico with asthma.
- 1:30:50Speaker 3: Well, Tony, you sound like a great guy. Proud to
- 1:30:53Speaker 3: have you in the audience. Thanks for listening. Call us again.
- 1:30:57Speaker 3: Let's go to Philip in Connecticut. Philip, how are you doing?
- 1:31:03Speaker 17: Hi, Mark.
- 1:31:03Speaker 12: I'm doing great. Just a quick question, comment about the
- 1:31:08Speaker 12: Supreme Court decision to recognize citizenship for for anybody born in,
- 1:31:14Speaker 12: you know, the United States.
- 1:31:16Speaker 6: What do you think.
- 1:31:17Speaker 12: About the idea that red states regulate the issuance of
- 1:31:21Speaker 12: birth certificates the way that blue states regulate the issuance
- 1:31:25Speaker 12: of gun permits?
- 1:31:27Speaker 28: You know, you can't even buy a.
- 1:31:28Speaker 12: Gun in some blue states.
- 1:31:30Speaker 3: You know? That's true.
- 1:31:31Speaker 12: With background checks and all that.
- 1:31:33Speaker 3: Well, as you always argue, they should do what the
- 1:31:36Speaker 3: Democrats do, fight back that way. But you don't want
- 1:31:37Speaker 3: to become like them. Where are you in Connecticut?
- 1:31:44Speaker 12: Right now, I'm actually in Greenwich.
- 1:31:46Speaker 3: Uh-oh, where are you going?
- 1:31:47Speaker 12: I'm heading to a health club to work out.
- 1:31:51Speaker 3: I got it. You're making a house call. All right,
- 1:31:53Speaker 3: we won't pry any further.
- 1:31:55Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:31:55Speaker 3: Good for you.
- 1:31:56Speaker 17: Thanks, Mark.
- 1:31:57Speaker 3: All right, take care. Let's go to Jerry in Smithtown. Jerry,
- 1:32:03Speaker 3: how are you doing?
- 1:32:06Speaker 16: I'm doing fine. I wanted to bring out the fact that.
- 1:32:12Speaker 16: Brackman should bring out who? Hochul giving free medical attention
- 1:32:19Speaker 16: to prostitutes.
- 1:32:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:32:22Speaker 16: This is tantamount to approving prostitution.
- 1:32:25Speaker 3: All right. This may be an issue that affects you personally,
- 1:32:28Speaker 3: so we understand your concern here. But I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
- 1:32:34Speaker 16: They're already on Medicaid. Most of them are on welfare.
- 1:32:39Speaker 3: Well, that's true. A lot of these prostitutes make a
- 1:32:41Speaker 3: lot of money. They can afford medical care. Hey, you're
- 1:32:43Speaker 3: in Smithtown. You ever go to that new restaurant, the Chaz?
- 1:32:46Speaker 3: Great restaurant?
- 1:32:49Speaker 16: I'm fully familiar with it.
- 1:32:51Speaker 3: Oh, I see. All right. You're one of those guys
- 1:32:52Speaker 3: at the bar when hitting on those women there, huh?
- 1:32:57Speaker 16: You got it.
- 1:32:58Speaker 17: Oh, okay.
- 1:32:58Speaker 3: All right. That's a very good question.
- 1:33:00Speaker 16: And I really enjoy your show.
- 1:33:04Speaker 3: It's a great....
- 1:33:07Speaker 16: Island of sense and good Americans.
- 1:33:13Speaker 3: Oh, when we come back, the brilliant writer, nobody better
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: on the economy, on the Fed. Now, how is the
- 1:33:23Speaker 3: economy of this country right now? If you're watching the
- 1:33:26Speaker 3: fake news, I'll convince you it's a terrible economy. What's
- 1:33:29Speaker 3: the real truth? We'll get to that coming up next.
- 1:33:33Speaker 3: John Carney will be with us. Bill O'Reilly's away. He's
- 1:33:37Speaker 3: on vacation.
- 1:33:39Speaker 7: Welcome back to The Mark Simone Show.
- 1:33:42Speaker 11: 710WOR.
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: Well, we bring.
- 1:33:47Speaker 3: You the smartest people around. John Carney, the great business writer.
- 1:33:52Speaker 3: In fact, you got to sign up and subscribe to
- 1:33:56Speaker 3: the Breitbart Business Digest. He puts that together every day.
- 1:34:00Speaker 3: It's the first thing Larry Kudlow says he reads in
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: the morning. Scott Besant has said the same thing. It's free.
- 1:34:06Speaker 3: It'll come right to your email. Just go to Breitbart.com
- 1:34:08Speaker 3: and where it says newsletters, sign up for the Breitbart
- 1:34:12Speaker 3: Business Digest and you'll get it. John Carney, how are
- 1:34:15Speaker 3: you doing?
- 1:34:17Speaker 8: Doing very well, Bart. Thanks for having me on.
- 1:34:19Speaker 3: Always great to have you. Explain this G20. Scott Besson
- 1:34:23Speaker 3: is speaking there. Our friend Larry Kudlow is there right now.
- 1:34:26Speaker 3: What goes on at this G20?
- 1:34:27Speaker 8: That's a great question. So it is a meeting of
- 1:34:33Speaker 8: the finance ministers and central bankers of the biggest 20
- 1:34:39Speaker 8: economies in the world. So the big developed economies. It's
- 1:34:44Speaker 8: actually a little bit of a misnomer. I understand they
- 1:34:47Speaker 8: actually have 25 countries there. But they all get together
- 1:34:54Speaker 8: and talk about what they think is working for their economy,
- 1:35:00Speaker 8: what they think isn't. This one is particularly interesting. Because
- 1:35:05Speaker 8: basically we have Team Trump there, and some of the
- 1:35:11Speaker 8: governments around the world, Japan, are on, I'll call them,
- 1:35:15Speaker 8: also on Team Trump. While a lot of the other
- 1:35:18Speaker 8: governments have become, they hate Donald Trump a lot, and they.
- 1:35:24Speaker 6: Sort of hate America.
- 1:35:26Speaker 8: So there's a little bit of a contest there between
- 1:35:30Speaker 8: our guys trying to say, hey, look, our economy is
- 1:35:33Speaker 8: actually doing pretty well. Your economy is struggling. Maybe you
- 1:35:37Speaker 8: should stop being so angry at us and start paying
- 1:35:41Speaker 8: attention to what we're doing and getting with the program.
- 1:35:44Speaker 3: Well, maybe they're watching CNN or MSNBC and all they
- 1:35:48Speaker 3: hear is our economy is in shambles, which is just
- 1:35:51Speaker 3: once again, I know I always ask you this, but
- 1:35:54Speaker 3: if you follow the fake news, our economy is a disaster.
- 1:35:57Speaker 3: What's the truth?
- 1:36:00Speaker 8: Yeah, the economy is actually doing very well. We actually
- 1:36:03Speaker 8: got some really Pretty great news in this morning, job openings,
- 1:36:09Speaker 8: which is how many jobs employers have put out help
- 1:36:16Speaker 8: wanted signs. We don't really put out that many help
- 1:36:19Speaker 8: wanted signs anymore. It's mostly digital, but they're looking to
- 1:36:22Speaker 8: hire fill spots. So the vacant jobs went up from
- 1:36:27Speaker 8: around 7.2 million to 7.3 million. In manufacturing in particular,
- 1:36:34Speaker 8: we saw a very big boost from around 501,000 to
- 1:36:40Speaker 8: 580,000 job openings. In durable goods, which is like core manufacturing,
- 1:36:48Speaker 8: making stuff that's going to last three months or more,
- 1:36:51Speaker 8: it went from 353,000 to 429,000. That's a really good month.
- 1:37:00Speaker 8: And we're up a lot from a year ago. A
- 1:37:02Speaker 8: year ago, it was only 255,000. So in other words,
- 1:37:06Speaker 8: durable goods manufacturing is booming. If anything, they killed enough people.
- 1:37:14Speaker 8: The actual higher number actually fell a bit, in part
- 1:37:20Speaker 8: because June was really strong for hiring. But one of
- 1:37:23Speaker 8: the things we're seeing is the economy is doing so
- 1:37:26Speaker 8: well that employers are, one of their big problems is
- 1:37:33Speaker 8: just trying to find enough people. They have to compete
- 1:37:36Speaker 8: with each other. When you have a high unemployment rate
- 1:37:41Speaker 8: or a very rapidly growing labor force, and usually if
- 1:37:46Speaker 8: you have one, you've got the other, then you'll see
- 1:37:51Speaker 8: hires going up across every sector. Right now, If one sector, manufacturing,
- 1:37:58Speaker 8: hires a bunch of people, they're probably actually coming out
- 1:38:01Speaker 8: of the other sector.
- 1:38:02Speaker 23: That's good.
- 1:38:04Speaker 8: That actually is good for workers because what it means
- 1:38:07Speaker 8: is that you're getting better pay, better benefits, a better.
- 1:38:11Speaker 3: Deal, right?
- 1:38:12Speaker 8: People don't move jobs because to get a worse job,
- 1:38:17Speaker 8: they tend to move jobs to get a better job.
- 1:38:19Speaker 8: So having employers have to compete for workers is exactly
- 1:38:25Speaker 8: what you want.
- 1:38:26Speaker 3: Hey, so as AI takes over slowly but surely, we're
- 1:38:30Speaker 3: not seeing it cause unemployment. In fact, aren't we seeing
- 1:38:33Speaker 3: the opposite? That's right.
- 1:38:38Speaker 8: AI, there's not really any sign of a big downturn
- 1:38:44Speaker 8: in AI. I look through even... Information technology, which is
- 1:38:51Speaker 8: a lot of people said, well, maybe a lot of
- 1:38:52Speaker 8: the programmers will lose their job to AI. They're actually
- 1:38:57Speaker 8: looking to hire, in July, they were looking to hire
- 1:39:04Speaker 8: 96,000 workers, which was more than the previous month, up
- 1:39:07Speaker 8: from 89,000. So we're not seeing AI displacement there. We're
- 1:39:13Speaker 8: not seeing in finance also. 400, 1,000 openings. So we're
- 1:39:19Speaker 8: not seeing AI displacement there. There's just not a lot
- 1:39:25Speaker 8: of signs of that. Now, maybe that'll come, right? We're
- 1:39:29Speaker 8: in the build-out phase of AI. And I think some
- 1:39:34Speaker 8: of the manufacturing hiring that's been going on is actually
- 1:39:38Speaker 8: hiring people to help us build data centers, to help
- 1:39:42Speaker 8: us build the materials that go into data centers. But
- 1:39:46Speaker 8: it's broader than that. It's not just AI. We're actually
- 1:39:48Speaker 8: seeing a broad expansion. Maybe, you know, years down, years
- 1:39:53Speaker 8: from now, we will see, you know, productivity get so
- 1:39:56Speaker 8: good that employers can start cutting back on some of
- 1:39:59Speaker 8: their workforce. We're definitely not seeing that in the numbers
- 1:40:02Speaker 8: right now.
- 1:40:02Speaker 3: Oh, that's good. Hey, John Carney, Kevin Warsh, the Fed,
- 1:40:08Speaker 3: hinting at the possible rate increase. Now, there are a
- 1:40:10Speaker 3: lot of people out there when they hear rate increase
- 1:40:12Speaker 3: that they well, mortgage rates are going to go up.
- 1:40:15Speaker 3: That's not the truth, is it?
- 1:40:18Speaker 8: No, it's not necessarily the truth because the Fed actually only,
- 1:40:22Speaker 8: when it hikes, it affects the very short-term rates. The
- 1:40:26Speaker 8: long-term rates have actually already gone up a little bit,
- 1:40:30Speaker 8: and that's what mortgages are based on. They're basically based
- 1:40:32Speaker 8: on the 10-year treasury, in part because if you are
- 1:40:37Speaker 8: an investor, you can buy a mortgage-backed security fund Yes,
- 1:40:44Speaker 8: I know we had a financial crisis and we had
- 1:40:45Speaker 8: a lot of problems with mortgage-backed securities, but they're typically
- 1:40:48Speaker 8: actually a pretty– particularly when they are backed by Fannie
- 1:40:51Speaker 8: Mae and Freddie Mac, which are government-controlled agencies, they are
- 1:40:56Speaker 8: pretty safe investments. when people are going to buy a
- 1:41:02Speaker 8: mortgage-backed security, which then actually helps keep down mortgage rates,
- 1:41:07Speaker 8: they look to what the treasury rate is because that's
- 1:41:09Speaker 8: the safest thing you could possibly buy. So we're seeing
- 1:41:12Speaker 8: long-term treasury rates have gone up a little, but if
- 1:41:15Speaker 8: the Fed hikes, the long-term rates won't necessarily go up further.
- 1:41:19Speaker 8: They may actually come down a little bit because people
- 1:41:24Speaker 8: will be less worried about inflation and hikes later on.
- 1:41:28Speaker 8: So the idea is If you hike a little bit now,
- 1:41:31Speaker 8: maybe you don't have to hike as much if inflation
- 1:41:34Speaker 8: gets bad. Remember, when the Fed hiked a lot, like
- 1:41:38Speaker 8: all at once back in 2022, that was because they
- 1:41:43Speaker 8: let inflation get out of control. If you keep a
- 1:41:45Speaker 8: lid on inflation, you actually don't need as many hikes.
- 1:41:48Speaker 4: Wow.
- 1:41:49Speaker 3: That's fascinating. So, hey, we only got a minute left.
- 1:41:52Speaker 3: The president meets with the heads of the oil companies
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: this afternoon. What should he tell them about prices?
- 1:41:58Speaker 8: Yeah, well, so he wants them to really ramp up production.
- 1:42:04Speaker 8: The problem is, and normally that's what they do when
- 1:42:09Speaker 8: prices go up, right? They ramp up production and then
- 1:42:12Speaker 8: that brings down prices. The problem is, because everybody knows
- 1:42:17Speaker 8: that we have plenty of oil supply, they're hesitant to
- 1:42:21Speaker 8: ramp up production because they say, well, look, If we
- 1:42:24Speaker 8: increase production a lot, but then you solve the problem
- 1:42:27Speaker 8: in the Strait of Hormuz, the price of oil is
- 1:42:29Speaker 8: going to crash and we'll have a glut. So he's
- 1:42:34Speaker 8: going to have to debate with them over what to
- 1:42:37Speaker 8: do about this. They're going to have to tell him, Mr. President,
- 1:42:42Speaker 8: if we drill a bunch of new holes and we
- 1:42:45Speaker 8: need oil to be $ 70 a barrel for that one
- 1:42:49Speaker 8: to make money, but you've solved the problem in Iran-
- 1:42:53Speaker 8: We could lose money on these things. So that's what's
- 1:42:55Speaker 8: holding it back. It's unfortunate when you get a temporary
- 1:42:58Speaker 8: rise like this, it means that supply doesn't necessarily expand
- 1:43:02Speaker 8: to meet it.

- 1:44:47Speaker 3: other good news, ice. They had a big Operation Rotten Apple.
- 1:44:51Speaker 3: They were operating here in New York. They just arrested

- 1:44:59Speaker 3: of child rapists, killers, criminals of all kinds. 2,000 of
- 1:45:05Speaker 3: them have been arrested. Now, this helps bring down the
