• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR. Well, you know, AOC
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: is on tour. Upstate New York, Buffalo, all these places.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: A lot of people think that's her running for the Senate.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Some think that's her campaigning for 2028. She's a congresswoman,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: so her district is in Queens. That's it. No reason
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to be campaigning upstate unless you're thinking about a statewide campaign.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Or national race, so she's clearly running for something. Now,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: her side is saying it's a book tour. She's simply
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: promoting her book. That could be because that's one way
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you make a lot of cash. You know, you don't
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: get paid a lot as a congressman. But with the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: insider trading, you can make a fortune, but also making
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: some book money is very important when you're in Congress. Now,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: this Cornell University... was prestigious. It's a disgusting place now.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, just disgusting. AOC goes to Cornell to speak,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and the Cornell crowd, as she's, during her speech or
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: before her speech, is chanting, from the river to the sea,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: which is a phrase that has to do with wiping
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: out and eliminating Israel. This is a college campus where
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff is going on. All of these
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Ivy League schools, Harvard, Columbia, disgusting places. Anti-Semitism going on
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: on these campuses. And apparently it's still going on at
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Cornell where the students are chanting from the river to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the sea. There's a guy, he's a former South Park writer.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: He's created a website about Cornell. He says he's going
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to expose gang rapes. And he issues a warning to Cornell.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Accountability is coming. So we'll see what that turns into. Hey,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Dolly Parton's estate. is being decided right now. Dolly Parton
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: left $ 450 million. Pretty good. $ 450 million. You know, she
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: wrote 3,000 songs. She had a lot of hit songs.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: That music catalog said to be worth about $ 120 million.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And then she's a very good businesswoman. And those Dollywood,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the Dollywood theme park, it makes a lot of money.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And she has a 50% stake in that. Forbes says
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: she's among the top 100 richest self-made women in America.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: The problem is she had no children. Her husband is
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: dead and she had no children. So he got all
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the relatives, cousins, uncles, nieces, you know, that kind of stuff.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And whenever that happens, nieces and nephews, they fight like
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: crazy over the money. So there's going to be quite
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a battle. And you know who loves this? The attorneys,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the estate, you know, the People that run the estate,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: they make a fortune in fees, so they'll enjoy fighting this.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: This is going to be quite a battle for a while. So, hey,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: remember this crazed attacker, this lunatic on the street? He
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: attacked a New York City rabbi, just pummeled the guy.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And then he attacked another person on the street, started
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: punching them, but just a horrible guy. So a judge
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: let him loose. Yeah, this is a guy who should
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: definitely be locked up. This is the absolute first choice
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: type of guy to keep off the street. Prosecutors only
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: requested $ 10, 000 bail. This is Alvin Bragg, this awful, awful
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: district attorney who doesn't believe in putting anybody in jail.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: You got a combination of that and Cuomo, where there's
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: no bail, no jail, let everybody lose legislation that he pushed.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And Hochul backs that up. Because right now she's trying
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to Get herself reelected with the Mamdani crowd. So she's
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: into this no bail, no jail. But this guy is
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: running around loose right now. Hey, President Trump had quite
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a schedule this weekend. He was all over the place.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: The President's Cup golf tournament in Chicago. Then he was
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in Tennessee for the big football game, the Texas-Tennessee game.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: He got there right before the game. But right before
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the game, the crowd's already in the stadium. They got
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: them in early. People thought maybe that's for security that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: they got the crowd in very early. It was probably this, too.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: The president wanted to do a flyover. Air Force One
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: did a flyover right over the stadium. It was quite impressive. Now,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Trump's been a major fixture at sporting events all over
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the place. NBA finals, golf tournaments, NASCAR. Formula One, all
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: kinds of races, World Cup, Met Stadium. Big sports fan,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: big sports guy, and he's been attending everything, which is good.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: It's good for, you know, helps promote all this stuff.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: My favorite story in the news. Okay, when you were
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: in school, grade school, maybe even high school, but grade school,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: did you have a really mean teacher? Did you have
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a really mean principal? Or a teacher that was too
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: tough or whatever, or too serious. And like me, when
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you got out of school, did you try to torture them?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: In other words, make prank phone calls to their house,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: call every pizza place around them and send pizzas to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: them that they didn't order. I'm not saying I did that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I've heard of people doing such a thing. But it
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: can go too far. I can go too far. Southbury, Connecticut.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Very nice town, by the way. I love Southbury. It's
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a very nice place in Connecticut. There's a high school teacher.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: She teaches at Pomp-a-Rog High School. I love Southbury, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: this is the worst name I ever heard for a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: high school. Pomp-a-Rog High School. But anyway, she was targeted
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and all sorts of vandalism at her house dating back
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a couple of years. There were a number of repeated eggings,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: eggs thrown at her house. Well, that's not nice. Her
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: mailbox was blown up with an M-80 firecracker. Okay, this
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: is not good. But police finally made an arrest. They
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: got an 18-year-old Middlebury resident. That's not far from Southbury.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: They arrested the 18-year-old kid in connection with an incident.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: They think there were other individuals involved. They say they'll
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: be arrested soon. The student gave police a written confession.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: He says he and five friends threw eggs at the residents,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: did all this stuff because they said to investigators they
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: hated this teacher because she was tough and they expected
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: her class to be easy. You kids today. Well, hey,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: there are some teachers who are too tough. I don't
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: know about this teacher, but you should never do anything
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: like that. The prank phone calls, that's different, but you
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: should not go near their house. Hey, remember I told
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you that story about Starbucks, they're closing down 250 locations?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Doesn't sound good for Starbucks. No, listen, they got 18,000 locations.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But that's a lot to all of a sudden close 250.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: So they made it sound like it's nothing, like, well,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: every so often, you know, we close down our underperforming stores.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: But I'm looking at the closures. Here's three on Long
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Island that closed. There's one in Wheatley Plaza in Greenville.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Wheatley Plaza, they got the Americana. Most beautiful shopping center
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in the world. That's in Long Island. The Castagna family,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: great people. They also own Wheatley Plaza, which is a beautiful, big, beautiful,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: packed shopping center. The Starbucks in there is one of
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the ones closing. Huh? That's a big, busy shopping center.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: That parking lot is always full. If you can't make
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it in that shopping center, something is wrong with you.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: And again, it's the Castagna family. They're the nicest landlords.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Can't be a problem with that. There's something suspicious about
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: these closings. There's another Starbucks closing at the corner of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Northern Boulevard and Glen Cove. If you live in Long Island,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you know that is two major streets that come together.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: This Starbucks is in a big shopping center where there's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: an equinox, there's a gym, there's everything in the world
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: in that shopping center. It's the busiest intersection you've ever seen.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: If you can't make a living there, if you've got
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to close a story there, something is wrong with this
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: whole story about, I don't know. I mean, if you're
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: getting wiped out there, something is really, really, really wrong.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: You know, James Woods, very good actor. Of course, Casino
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and a million movies. He's a brilliant guy, actually, in
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: real life. I know the guy. Brilliant. He's got an
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: IQ like 200. And he's got one of the best
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Twitter accounts. He's really good on Twitter. He's got millions
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: of Twitter followers. So apparently he gets into a war
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: with De Niro on Twitter. Now, James Woods, again, like
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: an IQ of like 190. He's battling De Niro, who
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: has an IQ of like 85. He's a great actor,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: De Niro, brilliant actor. But as most of the great
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: actors were, Brando and all, they're all dumb in real life.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: There's something about that. Truman Capote said, you have to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: be dumb to be a great actor. He couldn't figure
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: out exactly why, but it was just always the case.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: So De Niro starts battling James Woods on Twitter. Now,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: De Niro, of course, very left wing. James Woods, right wing.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I forget what the fight was about, but they really
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: got into it. And De Niro, he picked the wrong
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: guy to go after. And he said, you know, you're
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: irrelevant in Hollywood. You mean nothing in Hollywood. He went after,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he called Woods ignorant, uneducated. claiming Hollywood never respected you anyway.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: But then Woods fired back at De Niro. He said,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I pretty much pulled back from Hollywood while everyone was
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: bowing to Harvey Weinstein. And that would include De Niro.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: He said, Bobby, forget it was, Bobby forgot it was
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: wokeness that made Hollywood unappealing and pedophiles sealed the deal.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: He then reminded De Niro that my awards speak for themselves.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I never had to sell my soul for slop like
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: little fuckers. Yeah, that's true. De Niro had some money
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: trouble at some point. I don't know if it was
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: divorces or what it was, but he needed cash all
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: of a sudden. And I know from the agents involved,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: they had to quickly get him anything, any movie, no
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: matter how stupid or silly or, dopey it was he
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: needed to make a lot of cash real fast so
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that's why he did those uh those horrible movies otherwise
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: he's done some of the greatest films ever in history
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: uh let me check my new iphone here oh battery
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: see i'm the big feature of this phone the longest
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: battery life ever in a phone it can go two
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: days so it it's been uh i've been using it
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: now for like three hours three hours four three and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a half four hours battery's only down to 97 that's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: pretty good Pretty amazing battery life. Elon Musk is launching
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: a rocket ship today. You know, a lot of people
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: hate Elon Musk because he got friendly with Trump or
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: he was trying to cut the government down or they
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: think he's a conservative or whatever. But, you know, we're
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: pretty lucky to have this guy in the world. I mean,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing to live in the same world as
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: this guy. It'd be like knowing Thomas Edison. You know,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you study Thomas Edison or Ben Franklin. Imagine having them
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: alive and watching them create all this stuff in their lifetime.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Imagine if you were alive back then watching Edison create, uh, uh,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the motion picture, creating the phonograph record, creating the light bulb.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine what this did to the world?
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: So from Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Elon Musk, he's on
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: that level. I mean, he created the, uh, perfected the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: electric car. He's, uh, he created the Starlink, which will
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: be the future of all, uh, communication he's uh gonna
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: go to the moon he's launching rockets all over the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: place you know you can attack them all you want
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: uh but uh do you know anybody else launching rockets
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: into space putting satellites up there going to the moon
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: you know the uh united states hasn't been to the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: moon in decades decades we're trying to get back there
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and it's a long slow process watch elon musk will
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: get there long before us our space program was so
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: screwed up remember in the space station we had astronauts
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: stranded there and we couldn't, couldn't rescue them from the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: space station. It was Elon Musk. We had to go
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: up there with one of his rockets and get them down.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: How many private citizens do you know that could do
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: that for the government? Uh, Hey, President Xi, uh, it
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: was quite a visit. Now, a lot of people were
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: wondering cause they, they're looking at the photographs of the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: state dinner in the East room of the white house.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: It was quite, uh, ornate and quite, uh, It was
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: magnificent looking. They had the most beautiful china. That was
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the Reagan china. It was bought during the Reagan era.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Most beautiful silverware. The most beautiful china. The table just
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: magnificently decorated. And in the middle of all this, President
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Xi and Madame Ping had these big black thermoses, these
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: big plastic or whatever they are, black thermoses on the table.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And everybody was wondering, what the hell is that all about?
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: It's Chinese culture. They have to drink boiling hot stuff.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: The Chinese prefer drinking extremely hot beverages. And the only
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: way to keep it that hot is in a thermos.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: So they brought their thermoses with them. I don't know
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: what this is in China, but they like stuff really hot.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: You know, if you're in Las Vegas playing baccarat in
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the high roller room, which is a private separate room
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: for the extreme high rollers, they're all Asians in there.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Asian zillionaire high rollers. And the casino boss will tell
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: you if you're going to play in there, don't eat
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: anything off the buffet. What do you mean? Don't eat
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: off that buffet. It's boiling hot. You'll burn your mouth.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: The other day, like extremely hot food and extremely hot drinks.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: You know, if you're in China, even the public water
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: fountains in the country have a boiling water option so
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: people can keep their thermos filled. It's the opposite of America.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Nobody will even drink hot coffee anymore. Anybody under 40,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it's got to be iced coffee. But that's a thing
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: in China. Boiling hot everything. What is that all about?
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. Don't know. Don Lemon is doing
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a show and he claims he's not against Trump. And
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: he's not a liberal. Imagine if there was a lie
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: detector hooked up. That could have caused a blackout in
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: like 12 states. He said this in the latest episode
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: of The Don Lemon Show. Now, you might be saying
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: to yourself, where the hell is The Don Lemon Show on?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Who knows? It's his own website. It's done from his
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: bedroom in his pajamas, but he's got a green screen
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in the background, and he calls it The Don Lemon Show.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: This is what happens when you're tossed out. Tucker Carlson,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Megyn Kelly, Don Lemon. You're doing a show from home
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: in your pajamas. And pretending you're on television. Hey, we'll

• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Last hour.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: 72 years ago, The Tonight Show began.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: What I remember was before Steve Allen, Jerry Lester had
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: that time with Dagmar.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Well, that had been much earlier. That had been 1951, 1952.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Tonight Show came along.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I thought it was right before Steve Allen.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: No, no. There was a gap of a few years there.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And Jerry Lester. It was not a Tonight Show at all.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: It was just a regular straight variety show.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I was only 10 years old at the time, so
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I just remember watching it. 10 years old? You shouldn't
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: stay up so late.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: 10 years old? What would that do? So you'd be like,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: how old would you be?
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: 85?
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: I'm 85.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. See how sharp the guy says? Compare
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: that to Joe Biden. What a difference.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Don't compare me to... Don't say my name and Joe
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Biden's name the same.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks for calling. Let's go to Bill in Idaho. Bill,

  Speaker 2: Hey, Mark.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I'm good.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Did you hear that a goat charged into a Palestinian
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: strip club and cost almost $ 3, 000 worth of damage?
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Now, wait a minute. All right. That's... He's being funny.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: The good news is he got up on stage and
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: earned it all.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: The goat left lots of ones, lots of $ 1 bills.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: All right. We see where you're going with this. All right.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Let's go to, is this the name?
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Scrapper in Connecticut? Is that your name? Scrapper?
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's me.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: What kind of name is that? Scrapper.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Well, it's a name that has a short story.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Does that mean you're a fighter? You're in the junk business?
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: What does it mean?
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Well, junk and a fighter. He doesn't want to say.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: I want to say that I think they should stop
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: calling the swamp the swamp and call it the cesspool.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: They're insulting the swamps all over the world. D.C., Albany,
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: it's a cesspool of those polytexters up there.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I know, but swamp sounds better. Swamp sounds better. Why
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: are you scrapping? No, it doesn't. Tell us why you.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: Call it scrapping.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: You're insulting the swamps all over the planet.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're a swamp guy. You like swamps. Is that it?
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Well, no.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: It's an insult. We have to have swamps on the planet.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Well, you've got to have cesspools, too.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Well, that's what you got in D.C.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: And Albany.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks for calling. Let's go to Neil in Brooklyn. Neil,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Mark.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: You know, you talk about the Iranian president ducking questions
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: because he's in fear for his life. Yeah. Did you
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: ever see Democrat senators duck questions about Piker and Abdul?
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Well, that's just to avoid political controversy. But this Iranian
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: foreign minister, when he's on television, you can see this
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: guy's terrified that, I mean, they'll just shoot him and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: execute him in one second if he says the wrong word.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Even that U.N. speech. Remember that speaking at the U.N.,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the U.N. Iranian president? You could see him shaking. He
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: was like so terrified. One wrong word and they'll execute
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: you in Iran. Oh, let's go to Tom in Queens. Tom,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Hey, Mark.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: So when it comes to Trump barring the reporters from
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: the White House, why don't he just Use the argument
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: that they're a national security threat.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: He has. Bring him into court. He has. When they
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: go into discovery. Yeah, listen to me. They've used it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: They've used it. They've used it. And what they're referring
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: to is a couple of reporters leaked out stuff, classified stuff.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: So they're going to use all the arguments in court.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: But we'll see what happens. Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark. Mark, I had a call screener, Izzy,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: cracking up when I said this. This is what I do.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Want to know what I did to a teacher when
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: I was young in grammar school?
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, I hate to ask. What?
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: It was Teacher Appreciation Day, and I brought the teacher
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: a bouquet of flowers. Each flower was laced with black pepper.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: And I told the teacher, I said, go ahead, sniff
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: the flowers, smell the bouquet. Well, she did. It went
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: up her nose, in her eyes. They called me down
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: to the principal's office. My mother had to come up
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: to school and get me. And when they got me home,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: it didn't end pretty well for me. Mark, yesterday I
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: heard on WOR News that what the Democrats wanted to
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: do on a national level with the AI, control it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: The city council already, there's two bills on Julia Menon's desk.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: that you have to use city-approved AI software, and there's
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: a rat law. Any employee working in a business where
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: they're not using city-approved AI software They're going to fine
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: the business, and the rat will get half of the
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: money of the fine. Now, I wonder if this is
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: who promulgated this law, and if this common-sense Democrat, so-called
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Julia Menon, Julia Menon is going to sign it.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: No, it makes perfect sense. It makes perfect sense, because
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: obviously they're handing out a contract for the software. in
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: exchange for massive donations.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: That's all it's about. Yeah.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Government 101, once again.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Great call, Vincent. Thanks for calling. Yeah, when you hand
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: out these massive contracts in exchange for huge donation to
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: your PACs and your campaigns, you've got to make sure
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: everybody uses the software. So that's why those restrictions. Oh,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: when we come back, Bill O'Reilly, normally on Tuesdays, but
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: he had to move to Monday this week. So we'll
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: talk to Bill O'Reilly. He'll be with us next. on 710WOR.

  Speaker 1: moments in American history over the last couple of decades.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: He was there on the front lines. It's quite a book,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Confronting America. Order it now. And, of course, go to BillOReilly.com.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: You can get his column, the TV show. Watch his podcast.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: We'll do it live, the Bill O'Reilly YouTube channel. You
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: can get everything at BillOReilly.com. Bill O'Reilly, how are you doing?
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: I'm already busy. It's just Monday, right? Is it just Monday?
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: After a miserable weekend, it's Monday.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: I don't even know what day it is anymore. But
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: I'm doing okay. How about you?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. Hey, you spent some time in
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: China recently. The visit with President Xi, President Trump, very respectful,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: very cordial. Was he too cordial to him?
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: No, I mean, look, China is a very, let's see
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: what word I want to use, unpredictable place. And You're
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: not going to get anywhere browbeating them or insulting them.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: You're not. So it's a waste of time. So the
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: only other avenue is to flatter them. Trump is good
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: at that.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: And that's what that was all about, to try to
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: get Xi, who's a dictator, I mean, he doesn't have
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: to consult with anybody, to like Trump so that Xi
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: doesn't go out of his way to hurt the USA,
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: which he could.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: But is it that simple? A guy like Xi in China,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: he's like, I like the guy. I mean, it's like
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: a gangster. They can't help themselves. They got to do
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: something bad to people.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a bad guy. He wears a little Mao suit.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: You know, when I saw that, I went, oh. But
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: we have to deal with bad guys. And that's that.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: And people who live in a bubble or live in
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: a world that doesn't exist, oh, we'll confront them. No,
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: you won't. Because then you think Iran's tough?
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: You get involved with China?
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: And then the AI stuff is just coming to a
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: point where most Americans don't even know what's on the horizon.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: I wrote a column, and it was posted on BillOReilly.com,
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: wrote it yesterday, my Sunday column. And I looked at
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: how many reads there were on the column, hundreds of thousands,
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: but not what it is for a celebrity. So if
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: I interview a celebrity, we got a lot more views
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: than we did this AI stuff. That tells me that
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: most Americans, they're not locked into this yet. And you
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: better get locked in because these hackers, which are going
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: to work in conjunction with the AI, they have the
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: potential to really cause massive trouble, not only to the world,
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: but to you. And they're hacking medical records and financial records,
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: and Congress has got to step in and get involved.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously it's a huge hacking problem. But Bill Gates
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: on the Sunday show, you know, he said it's going
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: to kill billions of people. We'll all be dead by Tuesday.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: It's not as bad as he makes it out to be,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: is it? Not yet.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: No. Not yet. But if they don't control the miscreants
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: who are desperately trying to get advantage in AI, like China,
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: I mean, just think about where did COVID come from?
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I think it was China.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: This is a million times worse. And when you read
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: the column, and we'll do it live. If you don't
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: want to read, you can just watch what we did
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: with this MIT professor. They call them rogue agents, but
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: they're not really human. They're machines. And they just go
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: out of control and don't obey orders. what their masters
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: tell them to do. I mean, a five-year-old, no, that's
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: not good. Yet most Americans are concerned, right, still, still,
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: the gasoline, the food prices, I understand, but boy, oh boy,
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: this is coming fast, this AI stuff.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and what you're talking about is the part of
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the AI you've got to worry about is what they
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: call the recursive AI, where it can break out of
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: whatever limits it has. It can reinvent itself. It can
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: go totally rogue. But as Bill Gates and these other
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: guys point out, there's actually no such thing as a
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: kill switch. That's a myth, a total myth.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: And it gets stronger.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: See, right now, most of these AI companies can rein
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: in something that's going wrong. But in a year from now,
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: they're not going to be able to do that.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: So whatever is going wrong is going to continue to
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: go wrong because there's no way to stop it at
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: this point. Now, I assume the CIA and the American
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: government is trying to get enough power in cyberspace to
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: head this stuff off. But China's not. Just China wants
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: unrestrained use of A.I., And that's what Trump's worried about.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: Trump doesn't buy into the Armageddon situation. He goes, if
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: we clamp limits on AI, China will dominate all over
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: the world. And you have to take that seriously as well.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: But my opinion is that Congress has to pass a
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: series of new laws that if you are involved with AI...
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: and doing something badly, you go to prison for a
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: long period of time. That's the only inhibitor I can see.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we already have those laws, don't we? Liability, product?
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: No, not really. You got civil laws, but you don't
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: have federal laws. Some states have them, but they're soft.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: And there's no investigative agency. We need... an AI FBI.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: That's a lot of initials, but we're going to have
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: to have a federal agency with the power to surveil
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: what the deuce is happening here. And most Americans, it
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: gives them a headache. They'd rather watch the game or
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: the movie or whatever. They don't want to get involved
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: with this. But I'm telling you, we've been warned.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, Bill O'Reilly's new book. You've got to get this book.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: You'll love this book, Confronting America. It takes you through
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of American history. And he was there for it.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: We've never had a time where half the country wanted
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: to wipe out the other half politically. I mean, you
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: go back to the late 60s. A bunch of young
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: college types hated the old people. But this is all ages,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: this political war, civil war. We've never had anything like this,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: have we?
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: No, but it's temporary.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: And I say that because if President Trump did not
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: confront Iran, the Republicans would coast in the midterms. That
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: changed everything, not one action. And you remember I was
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: on your program, and I said it was the biggest
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: scandal of President Trump's life, the whole life, confronting these guys,
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: because they don't care if they live or die or
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: if their people live or die. That's a tough enemy
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: to fight. And it's gone south. And because it's gone
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: south here, there may be a political change in Congress,
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: which is scary because these progressives, socialists, communists, whatever they
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: may be, they're dangerous. But I don't think it's going
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: to be that overwhelming. Democrats think it will be. I
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: think the Republicans at this point will hang on to
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: the Senate.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. All right. Well, that's good news. Bill O'Reilly's
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: new book. You want to get the book. It's really,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: really good. Confronting America. It's already a huge bestseller. But
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: order Bill O'Reilly's new book, Confronting America. The podcast will
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: do it live. You've got a new episode coming this week, right?
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we have. I'm going to the White House on Wednesday.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: We got Peter Navarro.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: Oh, boy, that's going to be something. Because he hates.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: China.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And he knows a lot about it.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: And his office, yeah, his office is right across the
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: hall from Trump's. So that'll be an interesting discussion. So
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: we'll drop that on Thursday. We have the AI stuff
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: up now.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Great stuff. Take a listen to the podcast. We'll do
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: it live. Watch Bill O'Reilly's YouTube channel. Get the book.
