  Speaker 1: You just heard the news. Now you'll find out what
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: it all means. It's Mark Simone on 710WOR.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, well it's a beautiful day today. Wednesday, beautiful. Tomorrow rain.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Got a lot to get to today. A lot of
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton talk. A look back and a lot of memories.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that and we'll get to last night.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Big victory for Republicans for what they call MAGA. Big victory.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: And we'll get to Bruce Blakeman and Kathy Hochul. Hochul's
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: got some problems, some big problems, and it's only getting
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: worse for her. And we'll get to all of that.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Hillary Clinton. I think she's running in 2028.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: She made some very surprising comments. Anyway, we'll get to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: all of that. Coming up, we'll get to the battle
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: with Canada and a whole lot more. Dolly Parton in
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: a second. So last night, Darlene Graham, sister of Lindsey Graham, won.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: And one big, it was supposed to be really tight.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: It wasn't that tight. President Trump was down there campaigning
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: for her. He put in almost a million dollars into
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: her campaign. He's got a $ 400 million war chest he
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: can use in the midterms. But one thing about these
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: primary races, when President Trump goes down there or the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: RNC or the MAGA donut, when they go down there,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: And it's a good trial test run for whatever they
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: want to do in the midterms. So you've got to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: be on your game for the midterm elections. And they're
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: testing stuff out. They're road testing it in these primary races.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: And they sent an operation down there to work phone
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: banks to, you know, what they call the ground game
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: for Darlene Graham. And it worked. So then they go
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: over it. They see exactly what worked, what didn't, what
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: messages worked, what ads worked, what texts worked, you know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: fine-tuning that ground game. So more and more of these races,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and then they're ready to go for the midterms. Big
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: victory last night. Darlene Graham's sister, Lindsey Graham, wins.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: President, Lindsey truly loved you and viewed you as one
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: of his closest friends. I appreciate that bond and appreciate
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: all that you've done for our country. Our victory would
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: not have been possible without you.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so now she had that big gaffe in the debate.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: where she was asked about Taiwan, and she said, you know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about foreign policy. I just don't know.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: It sounded terrible, but she handled it so well in
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the days afterwards, saying, look, I'm not a professional politician.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I'm a real, honest person, and that registered with a
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: lot of people. And she's running against Norman, who's a real,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: professional career politician, and Ralph Norman, been there forever, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: she kept using this I've done more in 20 days
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: than he's done in 20 years. And that kind of
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: stuff registers. People don't like professional politicians. So it was
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a great victory for her.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Lindsay, for your service to South Carolina and
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: to this country. It's just not the same without you here.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And of course, it was a lot of sentiment for
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham. Now, this Norman, Ralph Norman, never trust a
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: guy with two first names. That's an important rule in life.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Ralph Norman, again, Never trust a guy with two first names. Now,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: he didn't know what hit him, and he's got to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: figure out how to very quickly get on that Trump bandwagon.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: And he can have a pretty good relationship with Trump,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: but he's got to get back in there. But, you know,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the president got involved. He has that right. That's his prerogative.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: As I told, I never, well, y'all, his policies are good.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: I never understood why he got in this race to
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: beat Trump. You know, but it is what it is,
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: and I'll accept it.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know the guy, but he sounds a little
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: wormy to me. Well, you know that, President. Sounds like
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: that Southern Sheriff kind of guy you don't trust.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: We did this for service, and I hate it for
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: the state. But the public, South Carolina, made the decision.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: We had $ 8 million spent against us. We couldn't come
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: up with that much money.
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Now, see, the other problem Norman had, he was being
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: backed by Nikki Haley, who everybody hates. Nobody can stand
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Nikki Haley. Big enemy of President Trump. So the Nikki
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Haley backing didn't help. The sincere, genuine, warm sort of
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: a darling grandma was great. So it was a great
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: victory last night for President Trump. So Dolly Parton, I
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: guess we got the word about 2 o'clock, 2.15. It
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: was just shocking. She had power. Sad she had some
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: medical troubles. We didn't realize it was cancer and that
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: it was very serious. But nobody thought she'd pass away
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: that fast. And even her own family said they just
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: weren't expecting this. They were caught off guard. You know,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: this is kind of gruesome, but when I know somebody's
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: going to die, I start looking, because I have a
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: million interviews with everybody, I start looking for the interview
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: with them. And if somebody, it's their 100th birthday, you know,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I start going, let me get this interview ready just
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: in case. Because you've got to dig through thousands of,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: recordings and find it. So it never, in a million years,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: would have occurred to me, let's go find the Dolly
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Parton interviews. It never, I just never thought she would
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: pass away. But she had her, I think it was
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: her nephew. This guy was great. And she apparently had
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: prepared for this. She told the family exactly what she
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: wanted said, what kind of funeral she wanted. And the nephew,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: he was just great. Hey, everyone.
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: My name is Brian Seaver, son of Cassie Parton, And
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: I'm representing the Parton and Owens family today, announcing the
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: passing of my Aunt Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean. Sister, sis,
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: aunt granny to one generation and Gigi to the next.
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago,
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: before I fully absorbed it as a future reality. As
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: her head of security for more than two decades, a
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: the heaviness of this moment, but haven't truly felt it
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: until now.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy just sounded so wonderful, like her, just warm,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: absolutely genuine, sincere. You know, one thing about Dolly Parton,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: it was a great success story, but it was a
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: real American story. Growing up in a one-room cabin and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: becoming the biggest star possible, but the nephew was great.
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: Dolly has lived in the light and is in the
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl, her parents, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: countless others who have watched her and longed for her
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: to meet them in the heavens. She has always been
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: on your television, your record player, your CD, and on
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: your phone playlist, becoming an extended part of your family
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: whether you liked it or not. Our family and the
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: team she has entrusted with her legacy will work diligently
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: to ensure her spirit will live with us forever. Dolly
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: called me and said she wants to rest in a
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: beautiful bed of plush cotton because after a life wearing
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and have
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: some rest.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Now that's... That's something. She would dress normally when no
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: one was going to see her. But it was television.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: It was an appearance. It was out in public. She
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: wore all that rhinestone. It was just constant rhinestone. And
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: she had these things that were, I don't even know
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: how you put them on. I mean, it was complicated
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: with this going this way and that way and rhinestones
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and this and that. You know, I was at Fox.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: There's a nice sound technician that puts the microphone on you.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: before you go on the air, she comes in, uh,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: sticks her hand in your jacket and puts the backpack
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: on your belt. And she sticks her hand in your coat. And, uh,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I said, do you ever have Dolly Parton? She goes,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. She was a guest here many times. How'd
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: you put the microphone on her with that? What she
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: was wearing. And she said, I just looked at all
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the rhinestone and this, and I didn't know where the
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: hell to put the microphone in the, her staff guy
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: obviously knew this is a constant problem and said, here,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: just give it to me. I know how to put
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: it on. So, She just had this whole image of
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the rhinestone, the stuff, the hair, all of this. Listen
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: to this quote from her.
• 8:23
  Speaker 9: I want people to know there's some brains beneath the
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: wig and a heart beneath the boobs. And I think
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: people are beginning to see that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: So the boobs were, when she first got famous, she
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: said the boobs were a constant source of jokes. Lots
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: and lots of jokes. There were Dolly Parton jokes everywhere
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: about that. And then the big moment was one night
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: she's on with Johnny Carson. This is when she first
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: became a star. And it was a memorable moment for
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Johnny Carson. This would play on the Best Of show
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: every year.
• 8:53
  Speaker 10: Have you always been rather zoptic?
• 8:56
  Speaker 11: What would they call that where you grew up in Tennessee?
• 9:00
  Speaker 12: I can't say.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Healthy? Healthy, I guess.
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: Booze and me. What did you ask me just before that? Oh, well, yeah.
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: I've always been pretty well-blessed. People are always asking if
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: they're real.
• 9:16
  Speaker 12: Oh, I would never.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I would never, you see.
• 9:17
  Speaker 10: No, you don't have to ask.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I would not.
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you what.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I have certain guidelines.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: But I would give about a year's pay to peek
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: under there.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Big memorable moment in her career. Now, the music, of course.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: You know, and the amazing thing is, you talk to
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: really young people, even kids, they all know her music.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: The movie, 9 to 5, still running all over the place.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: It was a great, great film. The song, what a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: great song. And in the early days of cable and
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: all the movie channels, this was the movie they ran
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: all the time. So it younger generation saw it. And
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: people still watch. It's an incredible movie because it's so
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: outdated in a wonderful way. It's about sexual harassment. They
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: got the, it was Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda and
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton. And they're working for, was it Dabney Coleman?
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Who's a great guy in real life, but in the movie,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the nastiest, most awful boss. And he was, sexually harassing
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: them left and right. And it was a great script.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: In fact, the greatest line at one of Dolly Parton's
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: greatest movie line, and one of the greatest lines ever
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: in a movie Was her finally standing up to the boss,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: confronting him about all the sexual harassment? Listen to this
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: great line.
• 10:39
  Speaker 13: Look, I got a gun out there in my purse.
• 10:41
  Speaker 13: And up to now, I've been forgiving and forgetting because
• 10:43
  Speaker 13: of the way I was brought up. But I'll tell
• 10:44
  Speaker 13: you one thing. If you ever say another word about
• 10:47
  Speaker 13: me or make another indecent proposal, I'm going to get
• 10:50
  Speaker 13: that gun of mine. And I'm going to change you
• 10:52
  Speaker 13: from a rooster to a hen with one shot.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: But she was an amazing, amazing person.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: And.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Did a lot of interviews and talked a lot. He
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: was a very, very smart woman. She was a great businesswoman,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: very generous, great philanthropist.
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: For me, the Dolly Parton star is accomplishing every possible
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: thing that I can. I want to mean something. I
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: don't want to just be some joke. I don't want
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: to be the all-American joke, you know, just with the
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: boobs and the hair and the tight belts or whatever.
• 11:23
  Speaker 9: I want to be a meaningful, artistic person.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:27
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: You can't find anybody anywhere, anybody, any co-star, anybody that
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: ever worked with her, anybody that will ever say a
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: bad word about her. There's no bad anything. She's one
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: of the handful of people, celebrities that are exactly the
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: same off the air as on the air.
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: You know, I've worked hard and I had a lot
• 11:43
  Speaker 9: of dreams. I've worked not only for myself but for
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: other people. And it's like now I want to enjoy,
• 11:50
  Speaker 9: really enjoy the more simple things rather than just going
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: full blast.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: And so many great songs. And Kenny Rogers, the duets,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. All the movies with Sylvester Stallone, of course,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: all the great co-stars. Anyway, we'll get back to Dolly Parton.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about her throughout the program. An amazing, amazing
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: American story. And hey, Bruce Blakeman press conference today, two o'clock.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Now watch this because Kathy Hochul has got some problems
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: and they're only going to mount. Her crazy, she's trying
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: to walk this tightrope between being a left-wing Mamdani sort
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: of extremist and a moderate Democrat. She's not either. Nobody
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: knows what she is. It's just a professional politician pretending.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: And she's not that skilled a politician to walk this tightrope.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: She's trying to hang on to the Mamdani crowd. Hopefully
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: you got to win a lot of New York. You
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: got to win 35% of New York to win the state.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: So she's trying to do that, but you're going to
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: lose upstate. So the problem is ICE, which is just
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: a rock solid, good, normal law enforcement agency. It's a
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: task force that's arresting people who have committed crimes. In
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: this case, the crime would be illegal alien. And specifically
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: now they're going after criminals, illegals who are committing crimes.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: So you couldn't have a better cause, a better thing.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: But she's trying to score points with the crazy left wing.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: So she and their crazy legislature, they've got a law
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: now that your locals are not allowed to cooperate with ICE.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine that? Imagine passing a law, you're not
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: allowed to cooperate with the FBI. Not allowed to cooperate
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: with ICE. So, of course, this is crazy. It's insane.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: It's irrational. It's illogical. Now, a number of counties are
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: getting together and they're suing ICE. Because they want to
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: cooperate with ICE. They want illegal criminals, robbers, rapists, gang members, murderers.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: They want them picked up and taken out of their territory,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: out of their county. Nobody's better at this than Bruce Blakeman.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Blakeman has been so good about this. He set up
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: a whole task force to help ICE, give them whatever
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: they need. Listen to this.
• 14:09
  Speaker 15: We have the most comprehensive agreement with ICE in the
• 14:12
  Speaker 15: United States. I've dedicated 50 jail cells to ICE. And
• 14:15
  Speaker 15: I've dedicated 10 detectives from our Nassau County Police Department
• 14:19
  Speaker 15: to ICE. And we're doing it because we want to
• 14:21
  Speaker 15: make our community safer. And we've done that. We have
• 14:24
  Speaker 15: the safest county in America, according to U.S.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: News & World Report. Yeah, and he's right. It's a
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: logical thing to do. I'd say there's a couple of
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: gang members, dangerous criminals, illegals. ICE is going to come
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: in and arrest them and take them away. If you
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: let the local police help out, lend them jail cells,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: lend them some local cops, they can send five guys
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: in to do it. If you refuse to cooperate with ICE,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: they got to send 50 guys in to do it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: They need a whole big infrastructure to help these guys
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: make the arrest. And there's nothing Kathy Oakley can do
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: legally to stop them from doing that. It's federal law.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Federal law always supersedes local law. So she's crazy. This
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: is going to blow up in her face. She's Sticking
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: her guns on this.
• 15:09
  Speaker 16: Local police will assist ICE only if a real crime
• 15:13
  Speaker 16: has been committed. But on civil immigration matters, ICE is
• 15:18
  Speaker 16: on their own.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Let me be clear.
• 15:21
  Speaker 16: Any police department or sheriff's office that disobeys this law,
• 15:26
  Speaker 16: that maintains any agreement with ICE, will face legal action.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, this is going to blow up in her face.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: They're going to use this against me. Just this line.
• 15:34
  Speaker 16: Local police will assist ICE... only if a real crime
• 15:39
  Speaker 16: has been committed.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: You're going to see that in a lot of commercials.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: This left-wing kook doesn't believe breaking into the country, coming
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: here illegally, doesn't believe that's actually a crime. She thinks
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: that's not illegal. So you're going to see that used
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: against her a lot. Hey, we'll get back to this.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: We'll get back to Dolly Parton. We'll get to the
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Trump battle with Canada that really heated up yesterday. And
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: a lot more just ahead. Mark Simone here, 9 to noon.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: It's three hours every day. 9 to noon here on 710WOR.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show. Now 9 till noon weekdays.
• 16:14
  Speaker 12: On 710WOR.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Hey, well, this just breaking. You know that a bunch
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: of attorney generals of various states got together and they
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: were suing Facebook, Instagram. That's Meta. The company is Meta. Big,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: massive lawsuit accusing them of deliberately setting the algorithm to
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: try to addict people and that it was particularly effective
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: with kids, easily impressionable kids were getting addicted. Now, I
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: didn't understand this lawsuit because every business does that. Radio, television,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: we all do that. We lay out the program with
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: little ways of keeping you listening longer. That's the whole idea.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Every business does that. And when they build the supermarket,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: they lay out where everything is to keep you in
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: there longer. You don't realize it, but a lot of
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: people just run in to get eggs or milk or something.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: That's never in the front. You notice it's always in
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: the furthest, in the back of the supermarket. That's to
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: make sure you have to go through the whole supermarket
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: so you get something else. You ever been to Stu Leonard's?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: It's great. One of the great supermarkets in the world.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Stu Leonard's in Norwalk. Well, they're all over the place, but-
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: It's a wonderful supermarket, but it's a maze. When you
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: walk in there and start going around, you can't get out.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: You've got to go all the way through to the end.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: It's brilliant. Same thing. That's what Meta does. They set
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: the algorithm to keep you watching. So if you're watching,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: you like something, some post, and you click on it, well,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: it just immediately shows you 20 more just like it.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: So I don't know how they could lose this lawsuit.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: You could probably just argue that, but I guess children
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: were getting addicted. But these attorneys general, a number of
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: states got together. It was a massive lawsuit. And this
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: just breaking. It just happened. Meta is settling the lawsuit.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: They're not going to continue the lawsuit. They want to
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: settle out of court. They'll pay to settle it. We're
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: getting word that they'll pay $ 13 billion. $ 13 billion.
• 18:18
  Speaker 17: Give you.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: An idea of how well Meta does give you an
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: idea of how wealthy these tech companies are. Mark Zuckerberg,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: probably the lawyers are talking to him, and they're in
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: the conference room, and they're going over the case, and
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: he goes, well, hey, I just settled it. What is it,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: $ 13 billion? Hey, I just settled it. $ 13 billion is
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: pocket change to them. Absolutely nothing. And these attorney, you know,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: if you're an attorney general, you're just a politician. If
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: you can walk away with a big victory. You'll take it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: You'll take it. Even if it's not the right thing
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: to do, you'll take a victory. It sounds good. Oh,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: and now I actually made a pretty good deal. It's
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: 13 billion, 7% paid now. And then they've worked out
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: a payment plan, but that's the end of that lawsuit.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: So it's good news for everybody. Just, just get rid
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: of it that way. So, hey, the fight with Canada
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: is going on. There's the, Believe it or not, each province,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: you know, there's Ontario, there's Quebec, these provinces, each one
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: has a premier. And there's a guy named Ford who's
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the premier of Ontario. You couldn't sound more socialist than
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: a premier. So apparently he and Trump went at it yesterday.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Remember Ford had that brother Rob Ford? He was that
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Canadian politician who got in all kinds of scandal. He
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: was quite the oddball, weird, strange guy. I guess Trump
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: brought him up. Ford did not like that. Uh, they
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: got into a clash.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: We're going to fight with everything we have. And, uh,
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: you know, something, I have more courage, more brains in
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: my baby toe than he has in his whole body.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Uh, I know you're saying it's got a kind of
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: a Tim Waltz quality to him. He's got that Tim
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Waltz kind of sound to him. Don't worry. Trump has
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: plenty of courage. Remember when that bullet hit him and
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: he just jumped up and pumped his fist. That's pretty courageous.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: So Ford actually kind of using, I think he wants
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: to run for prime minister of Canada. So that's why
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: he's playing this up.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: He's treating us worse than the communist China. And I
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: just want to make sure that we have a fair
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: deal for both sides because right now, It's hurting American
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: workers and it's hurting Canadian workers. We're the number one
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: customer in the world to the U.S.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but if everything went wrong with our relationship with Canada,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: we'd be just fine. It's Canada. The whole economy would
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: collapse without America cooperating. And Ford knows. Things got a
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: little heated.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: It got a little personal yesterday between the president and myself.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: But I want to make a deal, a good deal
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: for the American people, a good deal for the Canadians.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: And we're the two greatest countries in the world where
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: each other is number one customer. And it's time to
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: get back to the table and let's negotiate a fair deal.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Ah, you see, there you go. He's like Meta. Oh,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: you're going to fight this to the end. Okay, we'll settle.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: He's willing to settle. Meta settled for $ 13 billion. This
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: guy's got about $ 1. 50 to settle with, but they'll patch
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: it up. Hey, the Strait of Hormuz has been open
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: for months, partially open, partially open. southern corridor. So it's
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: been about 35, 40 percent open. But I think they're
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: about to open the whole thing because yesterday they cleared
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: the final mine out of there. You know, the problem
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: is the Iranians would fire rockets, missiles, drones from the shore.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: But that's really easy to take care of. Now, the
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: other problem was they had put mines, a lot of
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: mines in in the bottom of the Strait of Hormuz.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: But we have all kinds of, there were mine-sweeping ships.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: But now we got all these super high-tech mine-detecting drones,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: and we can find the drone, they can find the mines,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: and then we can go in there and get them out.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: It's a slow process, but they got it done. It's
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: now completely clean. The Strait of Hormuz has no more
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: mines in it. It's going to be much easier to use.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Now you say, well, they could put them back. Not really.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: We got Space Force watching the Strait, watching everything. If
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: they try to put anything in there, we'll see it.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: There'll be zero tolerance. So the Strait of Hormuz, we've
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: gotten 400 tankers through there in the last couple of months.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: That's a lot of tankers. Nine million barrels a day
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: coming through. So they'll probably increase that to about 14,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: 15 million barrels a day. Pre-war was 20 million barrels
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: a day. So it's partially open now, about 35% open.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Expected to be about 75% open. Within a week or two. Hey,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: we've got a lot to get to. We'll get back
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: to Dolly Parton. We'll get to Hillary's crazy comments and more.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Coming up, it's Mark Simone here. 9 to noon every weekday.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: 9 to noon on 710WOR.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show. Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Well, it's... It's going to be a beautiful day today.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a sunny day today. Rain tomorrow,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: but a sunny day today. Don't forget, it's 9 to
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: noon every day. You know, the reason they were such
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: a push to expand this show to an extra hour
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: is we do very well with commercials. As you can hear,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: advertisers do very well on this show. We've got a great, very, very,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: very upscale sort of audience that they like. So couldn't
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: get all the commercials in in two hours. And we
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: had advertisers waiting to get on, and there was this
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: push to make it three hours. And we've done three hours.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: And I said, are you sure you have enough advertisers
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: to fill three hours? Well, I think we've answered that question.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Listen to some of these breaks. Plenty of advertisers. But hey,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: President Trump was a huge Dolly Parton fan. He really
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: loved Dolly Parton. He's a country music fan, but really
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: had a lot of respect for Dolly Parton, ordered all
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: The flags and all the U.S. government buildings all over America,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: half staff. It started last night at 6 o'clock. And
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: expect him to come up with something, some sort of
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: big tribute to Dolly Parton that he'll want to do.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: You know, she had this thing about politics. She wanted
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with politics. Just personally, and she also
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: knew career-wise, it was a very smart thing to stay
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: the hell away from politics. from politicians. That's why you
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: never see her with any politicians. There were a number
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: of times the Clintons wanted to do something with her.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Not a campaign rally, but just have her together with
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: the Clintons for something and they would take a picture.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: She would avoid it. She just did not want to
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: have anything to do with politics. She loved President Trump,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: but she stayed the hell away from him. Did not
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: want to be associated with anything political or any politicians.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Because she knew, career-wise, if you take a side, you'll
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: lose half your audience. Stephen Colbert, are you listening to this?
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: She knew it was smart to avoid anything political. Let's
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: take some calls. Let's go to beautiful Garden City, one
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: of the most beautiful suburbs in America. Let's go to
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Keith in Garden City. Keith, how are you doing?
• 25:35
  Speaker 14: Pretty good, Mark. Thanks for taking my call. Love the
• 25:38
  Speaker 14: extra hour.
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
• 25:41
  Speaker 14: I was calling about the data centers. Somebody told me
• 25:44
  Speaker 14: that golf courses use more water than data centers. And
• 25:48
  Speaker 14: I don't know if you know any truth to that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 14: I have three golf courses in my town and no
• 25:52
  Speaker 14: shortage of water.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Garden City, you got the Garden City Country Club, the
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: golf club, that old club been there 100 years. You
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: got the Wyndham has a golf club, right? And what's
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: the other one?
• 26:05
  Speaker 14: The Cherry Valley.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Cherry Valley, that's right.
• 26:07
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: So I think Garden City would be good for a
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: data center. We'll put it right on 7th Street next
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: to Ivorone.
• 26:16
  Speaker 15: No, no.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Where Tony's Tacos are. Maybe in that parking lot.
• 26:25
  Speaker 14: You're making me hungry. You know, the Chinese, they spent
• 26:28
  Speaker 14: all this money convincing these people that these data centers
• 26:31
  Speaker 14: are bad. They do the same thing. They back any
• 26:33
  Speaker 14: candidate that's anti-mining because they want to control all the minerals.
• 26:37
  Speaker 14: And we as Americans, we fall for these fake crises.
• 26:40
  Speaker 14: I remember as a kid on Long Island, they said
• 26:43
  Speaker 14: aerosol cans were going to kill.
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: The ozone layer.
• 26:45
  Speaker 14: You know how many hairspray cans were used up in
• 26:48
  Speaker 14: the 80s on Long Island?
• 26:50
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 26:50
  Speaker 14: What do we use today? Aerosol cans are still here today.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: No, you're right. And it's a very, very good point.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: You know, this is a democratic tactic. They do this
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: all the time. They've always done this. It's the way
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: they campaign. It's the way they run. Media jumps in
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: and helps them, too. They have to always create a boogeyman,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: something they're fighting, a boogeyman. This whole tactic started with
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: the French Revolution. They did it then. Ann Coulter wrote
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: a book about it called Demonic. Is she on later? Yeah,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: she's on later today. We'll ask her about it. They
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: always create this boogeyman that they're battling against. It was
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: nuclear plants before. Now it's data centers. They've replaced the
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: nuclear plants. And they always do this. They're fighting the
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: mega extremists. Nobody knows who the hell, who are these
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: mega extremists or the mega people? Nobody knows who you're
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: talking about. You remember every campaign, the last one, it
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: was the alt-right. Nobody knew what the hell the alt-right was.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: And then at one point it was QAnon, which was
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: some chat group on the internet, but they were battling
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: QAnon and they were always battling these different forces. Let's
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: go to Paul Roslin, another great suburb, Roslin, Long Island. Paul,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: how you doing? Good morning, Mark.
• 28:04
  Speaker 19: How are you?
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 28:06
  Speaker 19: Good. I just wanted to mention to you that Dolly
• 28:09
  Speaker 19: Parton was played tremendously on 106.7 many years ago.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Light FM?
• 28:17
  Speaker 19: Yeah. No, it wasn't Light FM. It was WKHK, Kick FM.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's right. You know, it used to be a
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: country station, WKHK, and it was a country station. It
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: was like 14th place, and then they became Light FM.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: It became the number one station in New York. It's
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: right down the hall there, right at the end of
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: our hall. That's Light of Family.
• 28:35
  Speaker 15: I know.
• 28:37
  Speaker 19: They brought in all these DJs from the South, and
• 28:41
  Speaker 19: the station didn't last, obviously, because there wasn't country music.
• 28:45
  Speaker 19: It wasn't so popular then. No. I remember listening to
• 28:48
  Speaker 19: it when they did have it, and I think it
• 28:50
  Speaker 19: was your company that had it, right?
• 28:52
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Well, it was country under a different company.
• 28:55
  Speaker 19: Right, under a different company. But anyway, she was really incredible.
• 29:00
  Speaker 19: What a personality.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: You're in Roslyn, New York. You're getting, hey, the Jolly
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Fisherman is gone, but it's about to become an incredible
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: new restaurant.
• 29:07
  Speaker 19: I know. I don't know what it's going to become yet.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's going to be unbelievable. Gillis Pole, the Pole Brothers.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: These guys are the greatest restaurant.
• 29:12
  Speaker 19: Right, the Pole Brothers. They own everything.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Well, they're the best restaurant guys probably in America, but
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: definitely in Long Island.
• 29:17
  Speaker 19: You're not kidding. God, they are unbelievable. But I listen
• 29:21
  Speaker 19: to you every day, and you are absolutely sensational. Just
• 29:25
  Speaker 19: keep doing what you're doing.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 29:26
  Speaker 18: Thanks.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. Yeah, Light FM was WKHK. Remember the
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: big country station was WHN, AM 1050, WHN, the country station,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: with Del DeMontreau and all. those sort of guys, and
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Larry Kenney. Remember Larry Kenney? Great guy. And then it
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: switched to.
• 29:48
  Speaker 19: Sports.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Remember? Yeah, it became W-F-A-N. That was where the original
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: W-F-A-N was. So some people thought, well, there's a need
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: for a country station. We'll create a country station on F-M.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: And it never quite works in New York. Whenever they
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: do a country show, they can't figure out why it
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: doesn't work in New York. Well, walk around Manhattan. You
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: don't see a lot of McLeod cowboy hats here. I mean,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: it's not a country city. I mean, I love country music.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: And there are people. If you go way out in
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Long Island, you'll find some country fans. But if you're
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: in Roslyn and Manhasset, there's not a lot of country
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: fans there. You know, when you see those people, you go,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: how are you? They're not big country listeners. So it
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: didn't work. It became Light FM, which, by the way,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: was controversial at the time. Nobody understood the format. Light FM?
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: You just play light music? What kind of music? It
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: became the number one station. It is still today, right now,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: down the hall. That station is the number one highest rated,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: most listened to station in America. Number one radio station.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: And always has been for like a million years. You know,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: right on this floor... In the morning. Right now, we
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: reach about, I don't know, like 22 million people or something.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: You got Charlemagne over there. He's got like 8 million listeners.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: You got Elvis Duran down the hall. He's probably got
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: 9 million listeners, 10 million listeners. You got Light FM,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: the number one single most listened to morning show station
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: in America. You got Q104. It's like the number three
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: station in New York. You got, what else is here?
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: KTU is one of the great stations. Uh, uh, I'm
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: missing something. That's it, I think. Well, of course, WOR. See,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: we get the other, we get an older audience, but
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: it's the very, very upscale audience. That's the big reason
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: people advertise here. It's a very upscale audience. That's why
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: they say, ah, all I hear are gold companies. Well,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: the reason the gold companies are here, they're not looking
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: for you to buy something for $ 3. They're looking for
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: a real investor. So, This is the kind of station
• 31:56

• 33:15
  Speaker 2: next hour, we'll get back to Dolly Parton. You know,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of people ask about the variety shows. It
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: was a big part of television, 50s and 60s, the
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: variety shows. What happened to them? Why can't they try
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: it again? Well, the last person ever to try it
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: was Dolly Parton. And we'll get to that and more
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: coming up right after the news on 710WOR.

• 33:55
  Speaker 2: blakeman uh coming up uh president trump uh wants to
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: redo the kennedy center it's crumbling inside it's decaying it's
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: falling apart naturally uh whatever he says the democrats the
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: media the media democrat complex go nuts saying he's crazy
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: it's fine Nothing wrong with the Kennedy Center. Well, they're
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: just saying that. I mean, he's the expert. He actually
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: is an expert on this. In fact, when he first
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: got back to Washington as president and went inside the
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Kennedy Center, I mean, really inside, like underneath, into the basement, everywhere,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: he's a professional builder. This is what this guy does
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: for a living. He could see all the problems. And
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: it's literally just crumbling. It's in need of total repair.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: And as long as you got one of the greatest
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: builders in the world in office, good time to fix
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: it when you got him there because he'll get it
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: done right. And if government does it, it'll take 15 years.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: If he does it, it'll take about 12 weeks and
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: it'll get done. So the left going crazy trying to
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: stop it. And then, you know, he can be a
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: little obnoxious with the gold all over the walls and
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: his name on everything and, you know, drives people crazy.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: It doesn't bother me, but it drives people crazy. So
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: he wants to put his name somewhere. on the Kennedy Center.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: It was going to be the Kennedy-Trump Center, and then
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: they went crazy. And then I think he made it
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: the John F. Kennedy Center, refurbished by Donald Trump. They
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: don't want his name on the building. They're going crazy
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: over that. It makes them absolutely nuts. And you know,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: whenever he says anything, you people, you media, fake news, Democrats,
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: you go nuts. You go insane. But what you don't
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: know is when he sees you go nuts and insane,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: he doubles down. He does it more. When he sees
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: it's driving you crazy, he does it 12 more times
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: just to make you nuts. But the real thing is
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: these Democrats, all these media people today, they really have
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: no idea who John F. Kennedy was. They know the name.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: They don't know anything about him. If they really knew
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: about Kennedy, they'd want his name off the building. If
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: they knew that Kennedy stood for exactly everything Trump stands for.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: In fact, I could make the case that Kennedy was
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: much more MAGA, much more conservative than Trump. And he,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: he was in many ways, he was a very conservative guy.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Kennedy was anti-abortion. Trump's not. Kennedy was anti-abortion. Kennedy was
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: quite the hawk, quite the military intervention sort of guy.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Trump's not, uh, despite Iran, but, uh, Kennedy was the
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: guy that escalated like crazy in Vietnam. Again, he was
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: very anti-abortion. Kennedy was a big tax cutter. In fact,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: it was Kennedy that really showed Reagan what you could
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: do with those tax cuts, and that's where Trump learned it.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: So Kennedy was everything Trump was, everything. And then if
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: you talk about the Kennedy family, why, you know, the
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: yell and scream, Trump, how dare he appoint his lawyer,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: attorney general, Kennedy appointed his brother the Attorney General. His
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: young kid brother was the Attorney General. If they ever
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: knew about Joe Kennedy, Joe Kennedy was like the most deadly,
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: devious fixer, behind-the-scenes dirty fixer ever in politics. And when
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: it comes to rigging elections and stuff, Kennedy was the
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: king of that stuff. His father, Joe Kennedy... They were
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: amazing at that. You know, they bought the West Virginia primary.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: They bought off Chicago. I mean, had there been a recount,
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Nixon most likely would have won in 1960. So if
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: these media Democrats, if they ever knew about the real
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: John F. Kennedy, if they ever actually studied it, they'd
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: want his name off the building, too. It would become
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: the Barack Obama Center for the Performing Arts. So Dolly Parton...
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: What a great star and beloved by everybody. Nobody anywhere
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: on this earth can say a bad thing about her. Nobody.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: She is a wonderful person.
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: You know, I've worked hard and I had a lot
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: of dreams. I've worked not only for myself but for
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: other people. And it's like now I want to enjoy,
• 38:25
  Speaker 9: really enjoy the more simple things rather than just going
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: full blast.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the last few years were tough. Her husband, Carl,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: very ill. And she took good care of him. You know,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: President Trump, big Dolly Parton fan. And twice he tried
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: to give her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Twice he
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: wanted to do it. One time it was the pandemic,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: so he couldn't arrange anything. And the last time he
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: tried to do it, her husband Carl was just too sick.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: She didn't want to leave him. Didn't want to leave him.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: But also, as I told you before, last hour, she
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: had this thing about staying the hell away from anything political.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: She did not want to be near any president's politicians.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: She did not want to be in photographs with them.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: She just thought it was, career-wise, it was dumb to
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: get involved politically, to take a side either way. Stephen Colbert,
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: are you listening to that? She just thought it was
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: a stupid thing to do. And she was right. Absolutely right.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: And the music at Dolly Parton lives on forever. It
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: was quite a body of work, Dolly Parton. You know,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: she sold 100 million records 100 million records and then
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: of course she built dollywood you know 100 million people
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: visited dollywood and she had an amazing career now people
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: that were around watching tv in the 50s and 60s
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: and into the 70s they uh often ask What happened
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: to the variety show? The variety show was such an
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: important part of television, 50s and 60s. The Ed Sullivan show,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: of course, was a monstrous show. And then all the
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: great variety shows. Remember the Dean Martin show and the
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Perry Como show and the Andy Williams show and the
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Carol Burnett show. And these were so important, these variety shows.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: And they just died. They tried to keep it going
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: in the 70s with younger rock and roll types. There
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: was a Sonny and Cher Variety Show. There was the
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Tony Orlando Variety Show. And let's not forget the Glenn
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Campbell Show on Sunday nights. Mothers Brothers. The Variety Show
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: was such an important part of television. And the Variety
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Show was everything. You'd have a comedian. You'd have a singer.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: You'd have a rock and roll band. You'd have a
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: standard singer. You'd have, you know, you'd watch Ed Sullivan.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: You'd see the Rolling Stones followed by Jack Jones, followed
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: by Jackie Vernon. You'd followed by the Bolshoi Ballet. Followed
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: by soupy sales. I mean, it was just an incredible.
• 40:54
  Speaker 9: Format.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: And then it died. Now, if you ask all the
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: TV producers and all the TV executives, what happened? Why'd
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: you stop doing? A lot of them blame the remote control. Now,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: this is hard to believe, but before 1968, most people
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: didn't have a remote control for their TV. Younger people go, what? Yeah,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: you were sitting over there in that chair. The TV
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: was over there. If you wanted to change the channel,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: you had to get up and walk over the TV.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: But then they invented the remote control like around 67, 68,
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: and then by 69, 70, everybody had a new TV
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: and had a remote control. So if you're watching the
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: variety show and it goes from a ballet to a comedian,
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: when it's just something you didn't like, you change the channel.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: So once that remote was invented, tougher to do variety
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: and then uh the problem is the music everything just
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: splintered up uh and remember part of the variety shows
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: you could watch with your parents it was something for
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: them something for you but that all changed by the
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: 70s everybody splintered up into different groups and by then
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: the kids had their own tv in their room i
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: mean everything had changed so the variety show was dead
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: by the 80s it was gone it was gone now
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: there was a huge tv producer nick van off He
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: was a great guy, and he began as the Tonight
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Show producer with Steve Allen. He produced a lot of
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: the great variety shows, the Perry Como Show, the Hollywood Palace.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: He created that. And by the late 80s, there was
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: no such thing as a variety show. But Nick Vanoff,
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: and he was a great guy. I used to spend
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of time with him. We'd always talk about
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: the variety shows, and he always said, I'm going to
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: bring them back. I'm going to bring them back. And
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: he tried in the mid-80s. Remember, it was called The
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Big Show, and it It was big. It had an
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: ice skating rink. It had a swimming pool. It had
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: a thousand dance. It lasted about half a year. It
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: didn't work. So the last time he tried, Nick Banoff
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: was a very powerful guy in Hollywood, so nobody was
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: going to do a variety show. But he convinced ABC
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: in the late 80s, I think it was 1988, he
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: convinced them one more time to try the variety show,
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: and he said he had the perfect star to do it,
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton. And they said, hmm. Because she had quite
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: an appeal to younger people, older people, city slickers, country people.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: He said, she's perfect. So it was the last variety
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: show ever on television. Big budget. ABC. It was done
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: in Hollywood. Major guest stars every week. The Dolly Parton
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Variety Show, 1988, ABC. She was great on it. The
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: show was great. No better producer than Nick Vanoff. And
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: it just bombed. It didn't work. Nobody was going to
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: watch a variety show anymore. I think it lasted, was
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: it half a year? I don't even think it lasted
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: a year, half a year. And that was it. That
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: was the final attempt to bring back the variety show
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: and give Dolly Parton credit for that. You know, if
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: you listen to the radio now, every station, it's the
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: same thing with radio. If you went back into the
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: 60s and you put on the big top 40 station,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: if you were listening to Cousin Brucie or Dan Ingram,
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: They'd play The Beatles. They'd play Tony Bennett. Whoever had
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: a hit record. They'd play a ballad by Frank Sinatra.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: If it was a hit record, then they'd play Led Zeppelin.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Whoever had a hit record. It was variety. But there's
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: no such thing in radio now. You go down the
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: hall there. Light FM plays only this kind of music.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: KTU only plays this music. Q104 only plays. So you've
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: still got the same variety. You've just got to change
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: the channel to get it. Some people would argue it's
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: better this way because now I can control the mixture.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: If I want light, I go here. If I feel
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: like some uptempo, I go here. So it's just a
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: different world. Everything's different. And now it's splintered even more.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: Now there's streaming. There's 4,000 million different channels. So when
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: people say to you, hey, have you been watching Goat's Country?
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: And you go, what? Oh, you got to watch. They
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: tell you some show you never heard of. Well, I don't,
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: can I just, no, no, no. You have to watch
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: from the beginning. It's five seasons. You got to watch
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: from the beginning. So it's like 50 hours. I'm not
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: going to watch this. So remember you all, next day
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: you talk about what you saw in Seinfeld last night.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: Now you can't talk to anybody because they don't know
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: the show you're watching. You don't know the show they're watching.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: It's a whole different world. Hey, Hillary Clinton is up
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: to something. She's speaking about, at the Hamptons Institute. I
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: don't know what the hell that is. Is that in
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: the Hamptons? That's where she belongs, in the Hamptons, talking
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: to people out of work. The Hamptons is like one
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: big unemployment office. They're very wealthy, but nobody does anything
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: all day. And if you're in the Hamptons, they have
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: a fundraiser, a gala every Friday night, every Saturday. It's
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: a big fundraiser, fundraiser for a big, important cause. But
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: if you study it, Every cause is only benefiting them.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: It's for the Southampton Arts Center. It's for the Southampton Playhouse.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: It's for the Southampton Library. They never raise money for
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: the Police Athletic League or the Red Cross or the
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Salvation Army. It's always just for them. Whatever the money
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: goes to, it's only benefiting them. But she was speaking
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: out there about, she was asked about the Democratic Party
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: and about this crazy socialism. And she kind of shocked
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: the audience because she didn't denounce it. In fact, she said,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: It's a great thing, this socialism. It's an experiment. It's
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: a way to reach the younger people. She was embracing it.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: She was actually saying this was a wonderful experiment and
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: it's great and we're reaching out this way. Now, why
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: would she all of a sudden embrace this? She doesn't
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: like socialist nonsense. She doesn't like this stuff. Well, because
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: I think she's running in 2028. She thinks, she's figured
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: that I'm not going to be able to get there
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: without embracing these people. It's too big a part of
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. Now, you're talking about people who want
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: to get rid of prisons, have no borders, have socialism,
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: seize wealth, go after wealthy people. The first people they
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: target would be the Clinton. So she's getting a lot
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: of flack. Now, some people are saying she's insane, she's nuts.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: I think she's just desperate. She'll just do anything to
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: get back in the game. And it sounds like she's
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: running in 2028. And you got to remember, she's delusional.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: She's not real, not realistic. She's been living alone like
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: the woman in Sunset Boulevard, just living in this big
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: house all by herself for eight years, drinking all day.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: So she's got, she's out of touch with the world.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Bill Clinton, he's better at keeping in touch with the
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: real world. She's not. She's totally out of it. All
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: she does is watch MSNBC. So she, she's thinking nobody's
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: really in front for 2028. There's no front runner. It's Me.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: I could make a comeback. She's actually embracing this socialism.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: Keep an eye on this. It's just going to get
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: worse for her. Hey, we'll take some calls coming up.
• 48:04

  Speaker 2: hear birds chirping?
• 49:00
  Speaker 21: I'm on the beach.
• 49:01
  Speaker 20: I'm sitting on West Hampton Beach.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: You are?
• 49:03
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Are you the only one there?
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: Just about.
• 49:09
  Speaker 20: Just the lifeguards just came down, and it's nice and quiet.
• 49:13
  Speaker 20: And I got here an hour earlier so I could
• 49:15
  Speaker 20: put you on the radio.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's very nice. Let me just explain to uh
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: people that don't go on the hamptons they don't go
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: to the beach there all they do is go to
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: eat they go to lunch they go to dinner.
• 49:23
  Speaker 17: They go shopping i know they don't even know there's
• 49:25
  Speaker 17: a beach well.
• 49:27
  Speaker 20: West hampton is a little bit a little bit nicer
• 49:30
  Speaker 20: than that crowd out there you don't get you don't
• 49:32
  Speaker 20: get so many um people like that. But just so
• 49:36
  Speaker 20: happy to hear your voice. And it's terrific.
• 49:39
  Speaker 17: Thank you, sir.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: And you live in West Hampton?
• 49:43
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I live in Moriches Bay. It's two towns over.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. With West Hampton, you got Donahue's just open there.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: You know, the great Irish pub is like the Irish
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: Elaine's that had been on 64th and Lexington for a
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: million years. They closed and they moved.
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: To West Hampton.
• 49:57
  Speaker 20: Oh, well, I'll have to go. I usually go to
• 49:59
  Speaker 20: Fauna or Patio. There's a couple of other nice restaurants
• 50:03
  Speaker 20: right in town. But I will look that up. Did
• 50:06
  Speaker 20: they just open?
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Donahue's East. It's in West Hampton. Go there. And
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: then you go to the West Hampton Bakery and get
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: the raspberry croissant. It's phenomenal.
• 50:16
  Speaker 12: Oh, yes, absolutely. I love that.
• 50:18
  Speaker 20: And Goldberg's, the bagel place.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Goldberg's is very big out there now because it's really
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: the only bagel place, although there is a Papa Bagel.
• 50:26
  Speaker 14: Yes, it is.
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 50:27
  Speaker 12: Oh, you're a sweetheart.
• 50:28
  Speaker 20: You take care, Mark.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: All right, Lorraine. Thanks for calling. Great talking to you.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how are you doing?
• 50:36
  Speaker 17: Good morning, Mark.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mark.
• 50:38
  Speaker 17: I like your food tourism points that you make when
• 50:43
  Speaker 17: you have colas from different places. It's really interesting.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: Name any place, I'll tell you what to eat there.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: But isn't that the best tourism? You don't want to
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: hear about the zoo or the museum.
• 50:52
  Speaker 21: Absolutely.
• 50:53
  Speaker 17: Yeah, you're absolutely right. That's the first thing you want
• 50:55
  Speaker 17: to do when you get someplace is see what they're eating.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: I know. When you talk to somebody that comes to
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: New York, oh, I love the museums. You're in the
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: museum for an hour out of the whole year.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 51:05
  Speaker 17: Meanwhile, if you go to Katz's, you're there for a
• 51:07
  Speaker 17: couple of hours and you've seen more than you'll see
• 51:09
  Speaker 17: in a museum in a lifetime.
• 51:10
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, museums are great, but you go to Paris, Tampa,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: go anywhere and go to the museum, it looks the
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: same everywhere. You're not experiencing local community and flavor. But
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: what do you want to say, Mike?
• 51:24
  Speaker 17: Well, you know, the guy called up earlier about the
• 51:26
  Speaker 17: data centers. And, you know, the same people who were
• 51:29
  Speaker 17: against the data centers, data, data, You know, they were
• 51:32
  Speaker 17: all in on the wind turbines and they're all in
• 51:34
  Speaker 17: on these solar farms that take up thousands of acres
• 51:37
  Speaker 17: of land and create a nuisance to wildlife and so forth.
• 51:41
  Speaker 17: You know, they were against the Amazon and Walmart opening
• 51:45
  Speaker 17: in places because they after all, they would create jobs
• 51:48
  Speaker 17: and lower costs for the people that they supposedly care about.
• 51:51
  Speaker 17: So it's a little bit ironic and hypocritical, of course,
• 51:54
  Speaker 17: as you always like to point out. that they would
• 51:56
  Speaker 17: be against these data centers as they use their, they
• 51:59
  Speaker 17: live on their phones all day, which do nothing but
• 52:02
  Speaker 17: consume the data that these data centers help produce.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, they keep saying, well, without the data centers,
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: you won't have your phone. I don't know. We didn't
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: have any data centers. My phone's working fine. But I
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: guess with them.
• 52:15
  Speaker 17: Yeah, but they, yeah, I'm sorry.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: No, with them, I guess it'll be much faster. You know,
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: the Apple and other companies are saying they're going to
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: have to create a whole new generation of phones and computers.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: to keep up with the AI stuff. You're going to
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: have to replace everything.
• 52:29
  Speaker 17: Well, that's the thing. These phones aren't the phones that
• 52:32
  Speaker 17: we started out with even 10 years ago. They're, you know, they're, they're, they,
• 52:35
  Speaker 17: you know, they're mini computers. They're, I mean, literally they're
• 52:39
  Speaker 17: more powerful than the computers that launched the Apollo project.
• 52:44
  Speaker 17: And so you need things to produce, you know, to
• 52:47
  Speaker 17: do all the calculations that they were able to do.
• 52:49
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: All right, Mike. Great call. Thanks for calling. Let's go
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: to Don in Colorado. Don, how you doing?
• 52:56
  Speaker 7: Doing great.
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: And I wanted to comment about the radio stations in
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: New York, and I'm a radio junkie and I read
• 53:02
  Speaker 6: the trades. And basically what you said is there's variety,
• 53:07
  Speaker 6: but as the demos age out and new demos come in,
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: you know, and radio's declining but not dead yet.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: Well, it's actually not declining. Same number of people listen
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: now that listen 20 years ago.
• 53:20
  Speaker 7: I understand.
• 53:21
  Speaker 6: It's far from dead, no doubt about it.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: No, it's actually not even declining. It's actually pretty strong.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: 163 million people listen every day. Sorry, I didn't mean
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: to bring up facts. We don't want any facts.
• 53:32
  Speaker 7: No, no, no, no problem.
• 53:34
  Speaker 6: I want radio to stay alive.
• 53:36
  Speaker 12: Put me both.
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: But what I'm saying is all the nail casting, all
• 53:40
  Speaker 6: the streaming and all that, and I mean, the demos
• 53:43
  Speaker 6: are changing. I mean, Light FM, you know, I would
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: welcome back the Light FM of the 1980s than the
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: one that we have now because.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Well, you're obviously an older guy. The old Light FM,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: it was Neil Diamond and Ann Murray and Bread. You
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: can't play that stuff.
• 54:00
  Speaker 19: Correct.
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: But, you know, the year-round format, I couldn't... You sound
• 54:05
  Speaker 6: out of breath.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Is that because you're in Colorado? The air is very
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: thin up there?
• 54:09
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 54:10
  Speaker 6: I just went up the stairs, but I wanted to
• 54:12
  Speaker 6: say that the only time I would listen to a
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: Light FM is when it goes off.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: You sound like an older guy. You just went up
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: the stairs. You sound like you need a nap already. Anyway,
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: thanks for calling. The air is very thin out there
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: in Colorado. Yeah, radio actually has the same amount of
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: listeners and the same percentage of the population listening to
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: radio now than 20 years ago, than 40 years ago.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: There's been absolutely no decline in radio listening, unlike television,
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: unlike every other medium. But, hey, when we come back
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: to the brilliant Steve Forbes... Will be with us. We'll
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: talk to him about trade war with Canada. We'll talk
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: about lots of stuff. Steve Forbes coming up next on 710WOR.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR Life Fact Studios, the Mark Simone Show.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: Well, Steve Forbes, of course, the chairman, editor-in-chief, Forbes Media,
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: and best-selling author. You should get his latest book, Inflation.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: You'll learn a lot from this book. It's an excellent book.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: You can get it at Amazon or wherever you get books.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Steve Forbes, how are you doing? Doing fine, thanks.
• 55:20
  Speaker 18: How are you?
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: I'm good. Enjoy the weather while we can.
• 55:23
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Hey, Scott Bessett yesterday announced the sanctions on Iran. He
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: announced the intervention in the... I didn't understand one thing
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: he said, did you?
• 55:34
  Speaker 18: Well, on the sanctions against Iran, the president, of course,
• 55:39
  Speaker 18: calls it D-Day, economic version of D-Day. However, big exception,
• 55:45
  Speaker 18: Chinese banks. If you're not going to go after the
• 55:47
  Speaker 18: Chinese banks, then you've just given a whole loophole that's
• 55:52
  Speaker 18: the size of a dump truck. And so I'm afraid, ultimately,
• 55:57
  Speaker 18: even though Secretary of State Marco Rubio says we're not
• 56:01
  Speaker 18: going to use force against Iran, I think ultimately, to
• 56:04
  Speaker 18: get this regime out, we're going to have to go
• 56:07
  Speaker 18: back to what we stopped doing in April. This is
• 56:10
  Speaker 18: an evil regime, and sanctions aren't going to do it.
• 56:14
  Speaker 18: The Pakistanis and the Turks, they say they'll go along,
• 56:17
  Speaker 18: but you know they really won't. We know what the
• 56:19
  Speaker 18: Chinese are going to do. They've been doing it. And fortunately,
• 56:24
  Speaker 18: the United Arab Emirates, the UAE, which has been a
• 56:28
  Speaker 18: big pipeline for the Iranians to the outside world, they
• 56:31
  Speaker 18: say they're going to shut that window to the world.
• 56:35
  Speaker 18: But somehow those windows get rather leaky. So I'm afraid
• 56:41
  Speaker 18: we're going to have to... go back to finish what
• 56:44
  Speaker 18: we started in February. Sad, but true.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: So this is a battle with Canada. Is it true?
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, Canada needs us economically a lot more than
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: we need them. Isn't that the case?
• 56:56
  Speaker 18: No, it's, I don't know how we got into this
• 57:00
  Speaker 18: thing because we're already in negotiations with Canada and with
• 57:04
  Speaker 18: Mexico and, on updating the USMCA agreement, the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement,
• 57:13
  Speaker 18: that President Trump renegotiated the old NAFTA thing in his
• 57:16
  Speaker 18: first term, did a pretty good job. And so we're
• 57:20
  Speaker 18: doing the process again. And how this thing spun out
• 57:23
  Speaker 18: of control the way it did, I don't know, but
• 57:26
  Speaker 18: I wish we'd stop it because it's not going to
• 57:28
  Speaker 18: help our senatorial candidates in Michigan and Maine having this spat.
• 57:33
  Speaker 18: So hopefully they come quickly to a ceasefire and they
• 57:37
  Speaker 18: go back to the backdoor rooms and negotiate the kind
• 57:40
  Speaker 18: of agreement that the president did in his first term,
• 57:43
  Speaker 18: update these things.
• 57:44
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: You know, we've never had a billionaire businessman as president.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: Usually it's just a politician who behaves like a politician.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: And as you know, many of these billionaire entrepreneurs, they've
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: got to be doing 50 things at once. They've got
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: to have 27 projects going. So is that the problem
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: here that, Maybe President Trump needs to reel in some
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: of these, just focus a little more on a couple
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: of things.
• 58:09
  Speaker 18: Well, as chief executive, he's got to focus in on
• 58:13
  Speaker 18: a couple of things. And on the trade front, he's
• 58:16
  Speaker 18: got plenty of experienced negotiators. But he's right to focus
• 58:23
  Speaker 18: on Iran. We've got a real problem with China. And
• 58:26
  Speaker 18: the other thing that he's going to eventually have to
• 58:29
  Speaker 18: get involved with is the Federal Reserve. As you know,
• 58:33
  Speaker 18: they're having a big hoo-ha. The Fed and poobahs around
• 58:37
  Speaker 18: the world, financial poobahs and central bank biggies come together
• 58:41
  Speaker 18: in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, beautiful part of the country at
• 58:45
  Speaker 18: this time of year. No coincidence they would do that.
• 58:49
  Speaker 18: And he's giving a speech, Kevin Wurst, the head of
• 58:52
  Speaker 18: the Federal Reserve, to these eminences on Friday. And I
• 58:56
  Speaker 18: hope he uses the occasion to announce We're no longer
• 59:00
  Speaker 18: going to buy into the idea that the way you
• 59:02
  Speaker 18: fight inflation is by raising interest rates and depressing the economy.
• 59:07
  Speaker 18: The way you fight inflation is stop devaluing. the value
• 59:10
  Speaker 18: of the dollar. And also make clear that if we
• 59:14
  Speaker 18: have disruptions from oil or whatever, a war, which may
• 59:18
  Speaker 18: send prices up for a while, raising interest rates is
• 59:22
  Speaker 18: not the way you respond. So focus on a stable
• 59:25
  Speaker 18: value for the dollar. And if he does that, I
• 59:29
  Speaker 18: think it's going to be, in that world, an earthquake
• 59:32
  Speaker 18: and ultimately going to help us and the world. Stability
• 59:36
  Speaker 18: is what we want, not these crazy things of, oh,
• 59:38
  Speaker 18: we must depress the economy because people are starting to
• 59:42
  Speaker 18: do well. It's insane for normal people to think that's
• 59:45
  Speaker 18: what motivates these people.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: It is really bizarre. And Steve Forbes, you literally wrote
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: the book on this. If you want the best book
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: on the subject, get his book, Inflation. You can go
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: order it right now. Hey, this DSA movement, the socialist nonsense,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: even the ultimate weathervane, Hillary Clinton, was jumping on the
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: bandwagon yesterday. Where is this movement going?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 18: What it's doing is, I almost think they're secretly working
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 18: for the Republican Party. You saw that interview with Jesse
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 18: Waters and Dr. El-Said, the Democratic socialist communist candidate for
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 18: Senate in Michigan. And what a bizarro bunch of answers
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 18: that guy gave. And people want prosperity. People want stable prices.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 18: They don't want to. I can't believe we're discussing issues
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 18: like should men play in women's sports. Come on. And circumcision.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 18: I mean, that just is weirdo. But anyway, it's amazing.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 18: You think socialism and communism after the horrors of the
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 18: last century. But they're like bad ideas, Mark, are like
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 18: Hollywood movies. The monsters keep coming back from the swamp
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 18: in new disguises to terrorize us. So the monster's back
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 18: again from the swamp. We're going to have to fight
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 18: it again.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: Hey, Steve Forbes, reassure us again. You did this a
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: couple of times. AI, you know, everybody's trying to gin
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: up this AI panic, fear, the data centers, the AI.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: It's going to take over, kill us all. What's the reason?
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: What should we really be feeling about AI?
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 18: AI is potentially, and is already having real effects, a
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 18: fantastic tool if used right. Like anything, if you misuse it,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 18: bad things are going to happen. But use it right,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 18: it's fantastic. And you're starting to see it in some
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 18: of the things they're doing in healthcare, both in being
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 18: able to determine what medicine might work for you that
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 18: would be a disaster for me. And there was a
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 18: case a few months back. I won't get technical on
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 18: it because I'm not a doctor, but a baby was
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 18: born with a very, very rare genetic disorder. They were able,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 18: thanks to AI, to find what they call the genetic letter,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 18: deal with that letter, and the baby is alive, who
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 18: would have normally been doomed. So there's some fantastic things
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 18: coming along. in terms of making drugs faster, in terms
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 18: of making them more effective. And so I'm at an
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 18: age where I think that's splendid. I want more of that.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: Hey, but people were afraid in 2000 of the digital stuff,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: the computers taken over the, there was fear then. And you,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: explain that again. You pointed out when electricity was invented,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: there was panic over it.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 18: Yes. And there was fear that electricity could be used
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 18: to turn inanimate objects into a living thing so you
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 18: had these medical students get cadavers give it a jolt
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 18: of electricity and see it bounce around and they thought
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 18: oh my goodness we could bring people back from the
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 18: dead and it led to a great novel called Frankenstein
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 18: electricity could create these monsters well it didn't great entertainment
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 18: came from it but Frankenstein didn't take over the world.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: That's such a great story. That's an amazing point. So
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: relevant today. But Steve Forbes, great stuff as always. Hey,

• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: We'll get to crazy Kathy Hochul and a whole lot more. Hey,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: I have very good news for you. Prince Harry and
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: Meghan Markle are gone. We got rid of them. They're
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: out of the country. They left earlier on a, they
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: got a serious plane. I mean, you can get a
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: private jet, you know, smaller one, bigger one. They got
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: a real serious one, a Bombardier Global Express XRS luxury
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: long-range business jet. That's a serious plane. That's $ 12, 000 an hour.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: Figure 10 hours for this flight for time to pick
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: them up, drop them off, and get rid of them.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: So 10 hours, that's $ 120, 000 for the flight. But they
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: took the whole family, the dogs, everything. They have their
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: own private security. Who the hell is going to bother them?
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: They got their own private security because the royal family
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: has kind of disowned them, will not provide any security
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: for them. They landed in Birmingham, England. They're calling it
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: an extended stay. They're not saying they're moving there. They're
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: saying it's an extended stay. Now, the reason they're saying
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: that is these two idiots couldn't find any work here
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: in this country. It started off okay with a big
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: Netflix deal, a big podcast deal, and then... Everything bombed,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: and suddenly there was no work for them in the
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: last couple of years. They couldn't get a job doing anything.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: So they'll go back to England. They'll try to get
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: something going there. They'll see if they can make some
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: money or get a show or get a podcast, get
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: something going. And if they can't get anything over there,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: then they'll come back. That's why they're not saying they're
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: moving there. They're saying it's an extended visit. That way,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: if they bomb out completely— It won't look so bad
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: when they leave. But these are two of the most
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: useless idiots in the world. And you got to remember,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: when you do a podcast, it can really expose you
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: because you have to speak at great length and you
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: got to do a number of episodes. People really get
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: to hear, does this person know anything? Do they have
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: anything to say? You know, Michelle Obama, for instance, if
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: you didn't know her, if you just looked at her,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: she looked quite regal. She looked like a very impressive woman.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: always beautifully dressed tall and regal. And, you know, you
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: just read about her background and how educated and she
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: was this, she was that. And she looked very impressive.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: Then if you start listening to the podcast, you realize
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: this is an empty-headed yo-yo with nothing to say. Remember
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: that podcast of her and her brother talking for an hour?
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: You listen to her for an hour and you realize,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: This woman's got nothing going on, nothing to say, nothing
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: to talk about, no personality, no substance. And the podcast
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: didn't last that long, but it was just awful. I
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: remember recently she had to start again with Barack Obama
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: because he was a quick talker, smooth talker, a little
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: more substance to him. So same problem with Harry and Meghan.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: The prince, Prince Harry. And then you listen to him.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: He's just a moron. He's got nothing to say. She
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: was pretty good in the show Suits. If you watch
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: that show, I love that show. She's pretty good in
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: that role. I mean, she was like 15th billing in
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: the show, but she was pretty good. But then when
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: you listen to her talk, a complete idiot with nothing
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: to say, nothing going on, no substance to either of them.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: So that was the end of it. So Dolly Parton, wow.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: That was quite a blow to the nation. She was
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: one of the very, very, very few celebrities. It's the
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: shortest list in the world of celebrities that were exactly
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: the same on the air and off the air. Exactly
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: the same. Everybody loved them. Nobody had a bad thing
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: to say about them. Nobody anywhere who knew them, ever
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: worked with them, could think of anything bad to say
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: about Dolly Parton. Wonderful person. Grew up in a one-room cabin.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: It's one of the great American stories. It's one of
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: the great success stories. Not only incredible musical talent, all
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: of that, acting, everything, but a great, generous philanthropist, shrewd,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: smart businesswoman. And she was known for the rhinestones and
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: the crazy get-ups and all of that. But her nephew,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: who spoke to the public to explain the whole thing,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: This is quite a touching moment.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 8: Dolly called me and said she wants to rest in
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 8: a beautiful bed of plush cotton because after a life
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 8: wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 8: have some rest.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: So she also wants a very, very private funeral, just
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: the family, just close friends. This is someone in her family.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 23: Our daughters have grown up with 120 books, right? Five
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 23: years worth of A book a month each from Dolly
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 23: Parton's Imagination Library. And now every child who is in
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 23: one of the child care centers in our city will
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 23: get that same experience. And it's just an extraordinary impact
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 23: to have.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, Ronca, that's not Dolly's family. But that's another important point.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: Younger generations, you know, her great fame was in the
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: 80s and 90s. But younger people loved, loved Dolly Parton.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: Loved Dolly Parton. The songs, the music, younger kids, kids
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: know those songs. They really took to them. And the
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: movie Nine to Five, one of the great movies. If
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: you haven't seen, go back and watch Nine to Five.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: Phenomenal film with the evil boss harassing the women. And
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: one of the greatest lines in movie history. is in
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: that movie, Dolly Parton said to the evil boss who
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: was always harassing them.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 13: Look, I got a gun out there.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 12: In my purse.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 13: And up to now, I've been forgiving and forgetting because
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 13: of the way I was brought up.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 9: But I'll tell you one thing.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 13: If you ever say another word about me or make
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 13: another indecent proposal, I'm going to get that gun of
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 13: mine and I'm going to change you from a rooster
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 13: to a hen with one shot.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton, just beloved. So President Trump was a huge
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton fan. Flags at half-mast. Every government building in America,
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: federal government building. And there'll be some kind of big
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: tribute coming to her in Washington. The president will make
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: sure that her legacy, well, she talked a lot about that.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 12: Do you ever think about what you'd want your legacy
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 12: to be?
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 22: There's a lot of wonderful things that's happened to me.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 22: One of the things I'm proudest of is the Imagination Library. But,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 22: of course, I'm a writer and a singer, and I'm
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 22: in both Songwriter Hall of Fames, you know, the big one,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 22: the country music, and the other one up there with
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 22: the big guys. I'm just trying to leave as much stuff.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 22: I just want to see how much I can do
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 22: in a lifetime. And I've been blessed, and I've been lucky,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 22: and I don't take any of that for granted. But
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 22: I just want it to be remembered well.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we know she's a great singer, but don't forget, great,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: great songwriter. Listen to the, this is, she was a
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: very young kid and she wrote her very first song.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 9: Little tiny tassel top, I love you an awful lot.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 9: Corn silk hair and big brown eyes, how you make
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 9: me smile. Little tiny tassel top, you're the only friend
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 9: I got. Hope you never go away, I want you
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 9: to stay.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she started very young. She was like about 14,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: first sang publicly and then I think she was like 16, 17,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: went to the Grand Ole Opry. I remember she teamed
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: up with Porter Wagner, took her under his wing and
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: launched that career very, very early. Hey, big night for
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: Trump world last night. A lot of victories all over
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: the country. The big one was Darlene Graham because there
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: had been some doubt whether she could win, but she
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: certainly did. Big victory. Darlene Graham won. in South Carolina
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: beating Norman, who was the longtime Republican, been there for
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: 20 years. And she kept saying, you know, I do
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: more in 20 days than he did in 20 years.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: And he got wiped. Another problem, he had Nikki Haley
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: backing him, who everybody hates behind the scenes. One of
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: the nastiest, most awful people you'll ever meet. But the
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: fact that she backed him did not help. President Trump
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: came to South Carolina. big campaign rally, put a lot
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: of money, almost a million dollars in down there. And
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: this is getting ready for the midterms. It's very important.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: When the Trump people, the RNC, when they go into
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: a local primary race, they start testing out everything, like
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: how they're going to work a phone bank, what they'll
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: send out, what kind of mailings they'll do, what kind
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: of social media they'll do, what kind of door knocking.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: So they test out everything, road test it, and see
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: what works, what doesn't. And that gets them ready for
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: the midterms. But Big victory for Darlene Graham last night.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 12: Mr.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: President, Lindsey truly loved you and viewed you as one
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: of his closest friends. I appreciate that bond and appreciate
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: all that you've done for our country. Our victory would
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 4: not have been possible without you.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a big night. Hey, there was one exception,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: except this was in Oklahoma, and it was on the
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: Democratic side. This is a Democratic primary, so it still
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean much, but the crazy Trump hater. the radical
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: nutjob Democrat won in Oklahoma. Now, it's a red state,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: so she's going to go nowhere, but it's Nikilia Jasmine Thomas.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: She's a nurse, and she's yelling and screaming about she's
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: going to impeach Trump. For what? No, it doesn't matter.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: She's going to impeach Trump. So she did win the
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: Democratic primary, but again, it's Oklahoma. She will not win
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: the general. So, hey, Mayor Mamdani, let me just reassure
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: you again. The good thing is, Whatever he talks about,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: whether it's free buses, whether it's government grocery stores, whatever
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: he talks about, it's never going to happen. This guy
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: never gets anything done, doesn't accomplish anything. You'll never see
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: one of these grocery stores. The pied-à-terre tax is probably
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: never going to happen. In fact, remember he announced the
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: deadline is August 12th. That's it. Then they had to
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: change the deadline. Well, it's okay. It's September 12th. Well,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: the They just changed it again. Now it's October 6th.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: They keep moving the deadline. You'll never see this pied-a-terre tax.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: Now there's... Remember they sent out the mailings? They sent
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: out 17,000 letters. You're getting a pied-a-terre. Well, 1,200. They
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: admit now. This is Mamdani admitting 1,200 were mistakes. That's
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of mistakes, 1,200. 5,500 are appealing letters. And
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: 2,500 have been granted a victory. So 2,500, oh, excuse me, 2,900.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: So let's say 3,000. So 1,200 who were notified by mistake.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: 3,000 won their appeal. They're not pied-à-terre. And another 11,000
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: people have filed applications for exemptions. So they sent out
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: 17,000 letters. If you do the math real fast, it
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: sounds like 16,000 of them. We're not pied-a-terre, and they're
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: going to get the exemption. So the whole thing is ridiculous.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: You'll never see this pied-a-terre tax. You'll never, ever live
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: to see it. You'll never see a government grocery store.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: That's the good thing about Mom Donnie. Who's going to
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: be mayor? He's up in three years. Who's going to
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: run for mayor? Now, of course, everybody thinks Jessica Tisch
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: will run. She's a possibility. Seems like a common sense,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: you know, good person. She's not... the most experienced, and
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: she's been the police commissioner now for two years. She's
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: not that well-liked within the police department, but she'd be
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: a good mayor. And then who else will run? Now,
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: John Schell was a big part of the NYPD. He
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: was the highest-ranking uniform officer, chief of patrol. That's a
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: big job. Schell's a very good guy, nice guy, sharp guy.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: He wants to run for mayor. And if you need
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: a top law enforcement guy, well, he'd be great. John Schell,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: already talking about it publicly.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 10: I'm a kid from Brooklyn that did what every other
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 10: kid did. I joined the police department.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 19: 32 years.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 10: I know the city very well.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: I gave it all for the city.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 10: I actually ran something. And I know what New York
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 10: City is all about and what they want and what
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 10: they expect. And I can tell you what they don't
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 10: expect is socialism. This doesn't work. It won't work. Nothing
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 10: is free in this world. Everybody pays.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: So keep an eye on this guy, John Schell. Obviously,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: obviously law enforcement credentials. But remember, chief of patrol, it's
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: a big management job. So he's got management experience. And
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: you recall, especially before Jessica Tisch, he was the guy
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: that was always on television representing the police department. And
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: so good on TV. So keep an eye on Schell.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 10: We have to take a look at this ballooning budget
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 10: of $ 126 billion. And the next three years under this
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 10: mayor will be an additional $ 22 billion in the hole.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 10: So you've got to look at what we're spending, how
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 10: we're spending it, line by line, and make those adjustments.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 10: Cut out the fat, cut out the waste. It's good
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 10: to be benevolent and give people a break who need it,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 10: but you've got to take a look at all that
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 10: before you can spend any money and then see what's
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 10: actually coming in and going out.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: Hey, 2 o'clock today, a big press conference. Keep an
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: eye on this. Bruce Blakeman will have a press conference
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: at 2 o'clock. Blakeman is going to talk about Hochul
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: Crazy Kathy Hochul and her legislature, they passed this law
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: that you're not allowed to cooperate with ICE. Local police
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: cannot cooperate with ICE. I know it sounds ridiculous. Obviously,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: FBI comes in, any major law enforcement agency. Of course
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: you would cooperate with them. She doesn't want any cooperation.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: Blakeman has been very good at cooperating with ICE. That's
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: why in Long Island, he's got the lowest crime rate.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: That's why in Long Island, ICE is operating with no incidents.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: Everything's smooth there. But Hochul, listen to her.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 16: Local police will assist ICE only if a real crime
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 16: has been committed.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: Now, this is the problem with this, Dunce. Breaking into
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: the country, illegal immigration, that's a real crime, a very
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: real crime.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 16: But on civil immigration matters, ICE is on their own.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 12: Let me be clear.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 16: Any police department or sheriff's office that disobeys this law,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 16: that maintains any agreement with ICE... will face legal action.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: You cooperate with a major law enforcement agency, you're going
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: to get legal action against you? This, she's trying to
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: play to the Mamdani crowd. She's not that skilled a
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: politician to try to walk this fine line, but she's
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: trying to play to the Mamdani crowd. You're going to
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: see this used against her in commercials. in social media,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: especially upstate where they want ICE. They love that stuff.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: Blakeman responded.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 15: We have the most comprehensive agreement with ICE in the
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 15: United States. I've dedicated 50 jail cells to ICE and
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 15: I've dedicated 10 detectives from our Nassau County Police Department
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 15: to ICE. And we're doing it because we want to
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 15: make our community safer. And we've done that. We have
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 15: the safest county in America, according to U.S.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: News and World Report. Now, Blakeman cannot lose this argument
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: because what he's doing It's common sense. It's logical. Listen
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: to her respond.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 16: I expect him, like everybody else in this state, to
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 16: follow the laws of New York. And there are consequences
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 16: if you do not. And again, someone like that will
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 16: intentionally misrepresent, which is a nice way of saying lie,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 16: about what we're actually talking about. Because we are not
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 16: disallowing cooperation with local law enforcement when it comes to crimes.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, the problem is illegal immigration, illegal breaking
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: into the country is a crime. And remember, right now,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: ICE is just focusing on actual criminals that have been robbing, raping, looting,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: murdering gang members. So she's going to lose this argument.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: Blakeman can't lose this because everything he's saying is just logic,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: common sense, rational. So watch for this press conference, 2
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: o'clock today. Hey, we'll take some calls in a moment.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 19: No.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: The Mark Simone.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 7: Show.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: Nine till noon weekdays. More Mark.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: 710WOR.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, some sad news. Marion Scotto has passed away.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: She's the mother of Rosanna Scotto. And if you've been
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: to their great restaurant, Fresco, on 52nd Street, Fresco, that
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: was always Marion Scotto sitting there at the front at
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: the desk when you walked in. passed away. It's a
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: wonderful woman. Let's take some calls. Let's go to Stuart
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: in South Carolina. Stuart, how are you doing?
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 17: Hey, Mark, how are you?
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 11: Yesterday in that election with Darlene Graham Norton, she's not
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 11: Darlene Graham, we had 12.5% participation, basically. Norman took the
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 11: upper part of the state and Graham took the rest
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 11: of the state. South Carolina is solidly Trump uh, a
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 11: Trump state. And this election was basically emotional, I believe. So,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 11: you know, I, she's going to win. So we're going
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 11: to have another one for six years with Graham. You know,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 11: I'm just hoping for the best. If you had seen the, uh,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 11: the debate, I mean, she did really poorly.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: But what was so great about that?
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 11: Uh, Ralph Norman, you know, it, it wasn't, I didn't
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 11: vote for Norman, uh, For Norman, I voted for Norman
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 11: because I didn't want Graham in there. Because she basically
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 11: has no experience. She doesn't, like I said, with the debate,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 11: it was just awful.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 12: It was awful.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 11: So putting her in there was basically an emotional decision
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 11: on the part of many people.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, I'll just have to remember, when
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: you talk to these longtime senators, whether it's Schumer, whether
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: it's Hakeem Jeffries, when it comes to foreign policy or
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: any of these things, they don't know anything either. I mean,
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: they sound better and they talk like they do. But
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: they don't know a damn thing about anything.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 11: You know, the one thing, we don't have 50 million
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 11: people in South Carolina.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 17: We have 5 million people.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: It's just, if you know South Carolina.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 11: Politics, Mark, we had actually been trying to get rid
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 11: of Graham for a couple of decades. And he would
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 11: do things that were fantastic.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 18: Absolutely.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 11: Now, during Trump time, he's been great with the Kavanaugh hearings.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 11: He was absolutely fantastic. But there's so many things he
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 11: did that would just infuriated us. And I'm just thinking,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 11: here we go again. You know, is she going to
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 11: vote for Democrat judges?
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: Actually, people that know both of them well say that
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: the good news is Darlene Graham is a rock solid conservative.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: She'll vote correctly on everything. Unlike Lindsey Graham, who, as
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: you say, could make some left turns now.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 11: Well, if that is true, Mark, I will support her
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 11: 100 percent. I absolutely will. So I'm just really hoping
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 11: for the best. So, I mean, she's going to solidly
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 11: win in this state. We are still a red state,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 11: and we are still solidly Trump. So she's going to
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 11: do well. All right.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: Well, you'll be happy. Stuart, thanks for calling. Great call.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Kay in Manhattan. Kay, how are you doing?
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 21: Hello, Mark.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 18: I'm doing well.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 21: Thank you. I'd like to talk about this Abdul El-Sayed.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 21: I was very disturbed by the interview he had with
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 21: Jesse Waters because I felt people came away with it
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 21: with kind of a ha-ha attitude. And he asked Jesse about,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 21: I mean, I think the name is Snake. I think
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 21: he's really dangerous. And I mean, it's just evil to
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 21: support castration of children. and then compare it to circumcision.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: I know, that was the stupidest thing. He claimed circumcision
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: was the same thing as gender-altering surgery. Circumcision is like
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: a manicure as opposed to amputation. There's a big difference,
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: but you're right. He is just awful. I don't think
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: he'll win, Kay. Don't worry. Don't worry. He's not going
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: to win. Michigan won't vote for him.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 12: I hope not.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 21: His thing about comparing... uh sharia law it's a canon
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 21: law in the church in the catholic.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: Church that's nuts well they're all nuts these socialists that's
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: what they believe don't worry hey i'm from michigan i'm
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: telling you he will not win michigan he'll win dearborn
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: he'll win ann arbor that's it he won't win the
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: rest of michigan don't worry okay thanks for calling uh
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: let's go to let's go to vincent in brooklyn vincent
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 7: Good morning mark mark i'm okay Mark, yesterday you were
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 7: spot on when you mentioned the fact with Bill O'Reilly
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 7: that Kathy Hochul gave the Public Service Commission, which she
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 7: has all her cronies on there, and they green-lighted 12
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 7: rate increases for Con Edison. In the past, because I
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 7: get the property... I get the class of buildings and
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 7: the property taxes that they're going to have, like commercial
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 7: real estate, corporations, it's usually 12% a year. So I
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 7: was saying to myself, how does the corporations and the
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 7: utility companies.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 7: Justify these rate increases. Well, I didn't realize what you
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 7: said yesterday. Kathy Hochul raises the property taxes on all
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 7: these corporations like the utility companies, but then with a
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 7: wink at a nod, she says, don't worry about it.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 7: You're going to make the deficit up because I'm going
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 7: to give you 12 rate hikes during the course of
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 7: my tenure.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: Now, when it comes to increasing your electric bill, let's
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: give Andrew Cuomo the credit he deserves. He closed Indian Point.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: That drove everybody's electric bill through the roof. But you really....
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 7: Made it clear yesterday because it took me a while.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 7: I said to myself, because every year the Department of
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 7: Finance sends you the building classes and what their property
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 7: tax rates are going to be. And you look at
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 7: the utility companies, it's usually like 12%. And I said
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 7: to myself, oh, that's why our bills are going up.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 7: Little did I know it was a wink and a
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 7: nod between the Public Service Commission, Kathy Hochul, and the
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 7: utility companies.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's not good. And any issue, she stinks on
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: every single issue.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 7: 12 rate increases.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, great, great call. Thanks for calling, Vincent.
• 1:29:20

  Speaker 12: How are you, Mark Simone?
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: I'm good. Last night, good night for the Republicans. A
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: lot of good victories, don't you think?
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 12: I didn't see what happened in North Carolina.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, she just woke up.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 12: South Carolina.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: South Carolina. Darlene Graham won. Won big.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 19: Oh, no.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: You're not a fan now.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 12: She really wasn't big. It wasn't, you know, a profusion
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 12: of choices there. Embarrassment of riches. Neither of them were
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 12: that great. But, man. I'm against this sister of, wife of,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 12: you know, run a campaign.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: Well, the good news is she'll vote conservatively on every issue.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: Unlike Lindsey Graham, who would go either way. You never
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: know what he would do.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 12: That's a good point.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 3: Consider who she's replacing.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: Hey, did you hear our crazy governor, Kathy Hochul, she
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: and the legislature passed a law that no local police
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: are allowed to cooperate with ICE. Now, listen to the
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: first sentence she says here.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 16: Local police will assist ICE only if a real crime
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 16: has been committed.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: Now, what does that mean?
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 3: I love this, that liberals are going to decide what
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: a real crime is. It's like.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 12: Susan Estridge's book, Real Rape, suggesting that when, you know,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 12: that whole date rape thing that, oh, no, that's just
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 12: the same as as a stranger jumping out from behind
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 12: the bushes. No, no, that really is. But a crime
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 12: is a crime. And ICE isn't wasting its time on,
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 12: I don't know, jaywalkers.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you it is if you broke into
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: the country illegally and you're here illegally, isn't that a
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: real crime, too?
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is. Yes, it is.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 12: It's one that the American people are quite upset about,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 12: I might add. That's the main crime the voters would
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 12: like Trump to be enforcing. You think that's what she means?
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 12: Absolutely not to help them enforce just being here illegally?
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's saying that's not a real crime. You can
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: only cooperate on a real crime, just here illegally.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 12: Well, on the other hand, I mean, every state official
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 12: in New York doesn't think you know, rape and murder
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 12: are real crimes. Well, maybe murder, maybe murder, but muggings,
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 12: pushing somebody in front of a subway, harassing people, chasing
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 12: them down the sidewalk, breaking and entering, those are all
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 12: crap on the wrist crimes. So if we're using Kathy
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 12: Hochul's and D.A. Bragg's interpretation of, quote, real crime, it
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 12: pretty much comes down to, well, okay, I'll give them
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 12: murder and terrorism.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And did you watch Al Sayad on TV the
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: other night talking about how ISIS running around shooting people
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: in the face? What was he talking about?
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 12: I guess they're really obsessed with the whole Minnesota thing.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 12: I don't think anybody was shot in the face. I
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 12: like his comparison of clitorectomies and gender operations poisoning and
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 12: mutilating little kids. to simply being circumcised. That was good.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's like if the Iranians chop your arm
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: off and he would say, well, you get a manicure,
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: don't you? That's the same thing.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 12: That's a very good comparison, yes.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he's doing so well.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 12: Though there was a lot of hope for him among
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 12: the progressives. I mean, I guess we'll see.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: But he seems to be bungling a lot of things recently.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: Hey, Ann Coulter, I don't know if you heard this.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton is speaking at something yesterday, and they asked
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: her about these Democratic socialists and figuring she'll denounce it.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: She didn't. She kind of embraced it. She said, like,
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: it's a wonderful experiment. What is she embracing that for?
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: Is she thinking that's going to help her run in 2028?
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: I get the.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 12: Impression from a lot of these Democrats, it's like, It's
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 12: like your parents trying to be cool. They think this
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 12: is what the young kids like.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: Well, that's kind of what you said.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 12: I don't really get that crazy music they're listening to,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 12: but let's offer them a cocktail and say we want
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 12: to smoke some weed. It just seems really sort of embarrassing.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So, hey, you wrote this book, Demonic, and we
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: were talking about this last week at Democrats always have
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: to find some evil boogeyman and run against that. And
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: is it now the data centers? You know, they act
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: like they're nuclear plants or something. These data centers, we
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: have to live in fear of them.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 12: I am so glad you mentioned that. No, it's really nuts.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 12: I can't get to the bottom of it, but it
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 12: seems to me it's based on At least from what
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 12: I've read of the history about this. Well, one thing,
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 12: and I don't like this on my side. I don't
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 12: care if you call it, quote, populism. It's hatred of
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 12: people who are rich.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 17: I'm not rich.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 12: I'm not a billionaire. I'm not a centimillionaire. But I
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 12: think it's fantastic that people like Jeff Bezos and even
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 12: the Google guys. Google's pretty great. they've done great things
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 12: to improve all of our lives. And a lot of it,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 12: I think, is envy. I talked about this on my
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 12: podcast on Monday. I also figured out that global warming
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 12: is all about envy. They were so happy about all
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 12: these billionaires' houses around Malmangian, Miami.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: Ha, ha, ha.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 12: Global warming. They're all going to be underwater. So part
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 12: of it, I think, is hate of the rich. But
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 12: the other thing is, Some of the AI, you know, founders, promoters,
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 12: whether it's to get more investment in their little projects
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 12: or just because they want people to find them fascinating
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 12: and ask them, no, tell us how AI is going
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 12: to destroy humanity. It's absurd, Marc Simone. It's utterly, imposterously absurd.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 12: And I've been running, whoa, we are a long way
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 12: off from it. AI taking over some gigantic chunk of jobs.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 12: They'll take over a bunch of jobs.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 3: Well, so did the internet.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 12: So did the computer. I mean, what happened to travel agents?
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 12: What happened to journalists? Oh, well, we adjusted. Would anybody
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 12: say the internet not made all of our lives better?
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 12: And if you look at the capacity of AI now,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 12: I'm always sending these out on my subsection, just like
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 12: basic questions you ask Google AI or Brock, and they
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 12: can't find them. I can find them.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 3: They long to you.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 12: It's preposterous, some of the answers you get.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But just the fear of the data center. They
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: use a lot of electricity. That problem can be solved.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: The water, they use too much water.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: They don't really, by the way.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 12: They tend to generate their own, and of course they
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 12: pay for it. But they do a lot of self-generation.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 12: Same thing with the water. They rerun the water through
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 12: the same plants.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 12: I mean, I keep hearing that they're going up right
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 12: next to, you know, beautiful.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: Farms and farmland.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 12: Well, I don't know.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 14: Maybe.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 12: I don't think most of them are. And that seems
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 12: like kind of an easy solution if it's just a
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 12: matter of real estate.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, move it to an uglier industrial part of town.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the only real problem, they do make noise.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: There's a low hum. There's a loud hum. There's the
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: sound of a turbine. But so what? I mean, just
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: put them somewhere else. But people live near airports.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 12: No, airports, great comparison.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 3: Great comparison.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah, okay. Don't put them.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 17: Quite so close.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 12: You want them close because you want your data being stored.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 3: And this is what makes the world go around.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 12: I just think all of these.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 3: And I will add this. This is also in– demonic,
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 3: I believe it was demonic.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 12: That an aspect of this groupthink and mobthink is a
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 12: fear of inventions and newness as as you mostly see
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 12: with liberals. They want us to go back to farming
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 12: like we're in colonial times. We have to get rid
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 12: of indoor plumbing and use, what do they call that,
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 12: clivus multum? And what's that crazy thing going on in
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 12: New York where you're supposed to be composting food from
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 12: your tiny little Manhattan apartment? No, we have things called
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 12: trash compactors, you complete idiots. So I'm very much against
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 12: this hysteria over progress and innovation.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 3: Every innovation, every invention.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 12: Has always been said, oh, humans, we're going to have
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 12: nothing to do with the end of humanity. And it's never,
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 12: ever happened. Going back to the wheel.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: Hey, also, Democrats, they one by one, they alienate every
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: part of their base. They got rid of factory workers
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: who are now become Republicans. A lot of minorities now
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: supporting the Republicans. Aren't they alienating the whole Silicon Valley,
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: the tech guy? They're alienating them. That was their biggest
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: financial backers.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 12: That's a good point. I hope so. I'm always dubious
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 12: of a lot of these very wealthy.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 3: People because so many of the— and.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 12: I'm not engaging in the wealth myself, you know, good
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 12: for them for the money. But just so many rich
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 12: people are very liberal, and it just seems to me that,
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 12: you know, they have everything. They don't need to make
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 12: any more money.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: All they want is to hang out with actresses.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 12: And now how do you do that? Start denouncing Trump,
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 12: poor little George Bush, as fascist in the rise of Hitler,
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 12: and please invite me to a Hollywood party.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. When they make a ton
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: of money, all they want to do is be on
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: the radio, be on TV, write a book, be in
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: the media, hang out with celebrities, do a podcast.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 12: That's so embarrassing.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: So, hey, I mentioned before, they don't want Trump's name
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: on the Kennedy Center. Do you know, if they ever studied.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 12: Okay, I don't either, but go ahead.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying, if they ever studied John F. Kennedy,
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: he was anti-abortion, he was a hawk, a warmonger.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 14: Oh, yes.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: They would want his name off the building if they
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: ever knew what he really stood for.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 12: Oh, no, you're absolutely, absolutely right about that. Yes, yes.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 12: But I don't know that we need to have anything named, well...
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 12: I will say, both he and his brother were assassinated.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 12: That has a lot to do with it. And not
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 12: just that they're Democratic heroes.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: All right, that's true. But you're not a fan of the.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 12: If that's the last building we name after a Democrat,
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 12: I'd be very happy.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: All right, well, everybody follow Ann Coulter on Twitter. Great
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: stuff on Twitter. Make sure you follow her on Substack,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: because you've got everything going on Substack. AnnCoulter.Substack.com. And what
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: do you have coming up on the Rumble channel?
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 12: Well, I've been taping them Monday for the past few weeks,
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 12: and I did one Monday on, well, reviewing my column,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 12: a few things about what's going on in London and England, flashbacks,
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 12: gays up in Providence like the mural of Arena, the
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 12: Ukrainian who was murdered, more than the gay mayor does.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 3: It's really appalling. He.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 12: I mean, he didn't make them, but he started, they
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 12: are smiling, started a groundswell of taking down the mural
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 12: of this woman who was murdered. Democrats, you're pro-vicious murder
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 12: of an innocent Ukrainian who's fled a war.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 3: But anyway, it's posted on my Substack right now.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 12: It's also on Rumble on YouTube.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: All right, go to Substack and watch Ann Coulter's Rumble channel.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: A lot of great stuff up there. And Ann Coulter,
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: thanks for being with us.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 12: Good to talk to you, Mark Simone.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 19: Bye-bye.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: Take care. Hey, you know, the show's three hours now.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: I'm here every day, nine to noon, nine to noon
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: every day. And then, of course, at noon, it's Buck
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: and Clay with a great show. And then you got
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: the most listened to radio show in America. You got
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: Sean Hannity at three, Jesse Kelly at six. Very funny
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Fallon show every night at nine. And, of course,
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: in the morning, it's Curtis Lewa. Larry Menti, 9 to

  Speaker 2: New York.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: Now three hours every weekday from 9 till noon on 710WOR.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: Well, we're just about out of time. Hey, we'll end
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 2: with one great Dolly Parton moment. You know, she would
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 2: never get involved in politics. She stayed away from politicians.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: You know, the Clintons tried to get her to come
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: to something. She wouldn't go near politicians. There was a
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: great moment. She was being interviewed on some show, and
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: the guy said something Trump had done. What do you
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: think of that? And she said, I am not going
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: to comment on that. She said, I do not comment
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: on politics. She said, I learned a long time ago
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: when it comes to politics, keep your damn mouth shut
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: if you want to be in show business. Now, a
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: lot of people could have benefited from that lesson. She
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: was very smart about that. We'll talk more about her
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 2: on tomorrow's show. It's going to be a beautiful day.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: Absolutely perfect, beautiful summer weather today. That's not the case
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the week, so enjoy today. There's
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 2: not a lot left of this summer. This week and
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: next week, and then it's Labor Day. We're out of time.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: I'll be back tomorrow. Remember, it's 9 to noon. We
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 2: start at 9 a.m.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 2: It's three hours every day, 9 to noon. Don't forget that.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: So I'll see you tomorrow, 9 o'clock, bright and early,
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 2: right here on 710WOR.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 3: Com.
