Latest / The Mark Simone Show / Hour 3: Epstein's friends.
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Here's more of the Mark Simone Show on WOR.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, a beautiful Tuesday, a beautiful Wednesday coming up. You've
- 0:10Speaker 2: got two beautiful summer days, and then you're going to
- 0:12Speaker 2: have some rain, so enjoy these two days. A lot
- 0:15Speaker 2: to get to this hour. The CIA director, John Ratcliffe,
- 0:19Speaker 2: it turns out now he was secretly traveling to Russia.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Secret military plane brought him there to Moscow. for meetings,
- 0:30Speaker 2: and then he can't. Now, it's assumed that he's meeting
- 0:32Speaker 2: with Putin or Putin and all the high-level Russians. Now,
- 0:37Speaker 2: what are these secret talks about? Well, two things. It's
- 0:42Speaker 2: believed that they're talking about Russia, Ukraine. Russia is getting
- 0:46Speaker 2: creamed in Ukraine right now. It's hard to believe. How
- 0:50Speaker 2: long has this been going on? Six years? Five, six years? Originally,
- 0:54Speaker 2: it didn't look like Ukraine had much of a chance.
- 0:56Speaker 2: We were sending them Money, weapons, planes, bombs, rockets, anything
- 1:02Speaker 2: we could send them just to keep them going. They
- 1:04Speaker 2: were brilliant in the Ukraine. You got to give them credit.
- 1:07Speaker 2: You got to give the Zelensky credit. They started building
- 1:10Speaker 2: their own missile factories. They started building their own drone factories.
- 1:13Speaker 2: They now make more drones there than any place in
- 1:17Speaker 2: the world. Very sophisticated drones. They got assembly lines turning
- 1:21Speaker 2: them out. They got so many missiles and drones, they're
- 1:23Speaker 2: just pounding Russia. Russia has lost hundreds and hundreds of
- 1:29Speaker 2: thousands of soldiers. They had the worst month last month.
- 1:32Speaker 2: They lost 40,000 soldiers in one month. Their drones and
- 1:36Speaker 2: missiles getting so sophisticated. They're now firing them 500 miles
- 1:41Speaker 2: into Russia. So it's a good time for Ratcliffe to
- 1:46Speaker 2: fly over there and talk to Russia because they are
- 1:49Speaker 2: getting killed and they need a way out of this.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Putin's got a safe face. He can't just withdraw. He
- 1:55Speaker 2: can't just surrender. It's Russia. It wouldn't look good. So
- 1:59Speaker 2: Ratcliffe over there talking to them about some sort of off-ramp.
- 2:02Speaker 2: How the hell do they get out of this Ukraine mess? Now,
- 2:04Speaker 2: the other thing I'm sure that came up is trying
- 2:06Speaker 2: to convince Russia, stop helping Iran. Russia's in the oil business.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Iran's in the oil business. There's some kind of deals
- 2:15Speaker 2: we can make as far as more use of their oil,
- 2:19Speaker 2: less of Iran, but probably trying to get them to stop.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Stop secretly supporting Iran. Now, China will never get them
- 2:28Speaker 2: to stop. China busy trying to help Iran. China was
- 2:33Speaker 2: totally dependent on Strait of Hormuz oil. But without it,
- 2:37Speaker 2: there has been no Strait of Hormuz oil from Iran.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Without it, they are able to find oil elsewhere. It's
- 2:42Speaker 2: not as easy and it's not as cheap. But they're
- 2:45Speaker 2: doing it. Strait of Hormuz is open, by the way.
- 2:47Speaker 2: It's half open. The southern half is open. And we've
- 2:51Speaker 2: had about 400 ships, tankers, come through there. The northern corridor,
- 2:57Speaker 2: which is the Iranian-controlled part, we could open if we want,
- 3:01Speaker 2: but we don't need it. We're using the southern corridor,
- 3:05Speaker 2: and it's just fine. So Ghislaine Maxwell just tried a
- 3:12Speaker 2: big appeal in court. The judge tossed out her appeal.
- 3:15Speaker 2: She recorded quite a statement from prison. The judge not
- 3:20Speaker 2: only tossed it out, but really told her off, said
- 3:22Speaker 2: this is a frivolous, ridiculous, preposterous appeal. She's not getting
- 3:26Speaker 2: out of jail. Ghislaine Maxwell. She's in a better jail
- 3:30Speaker 2: after meeting with the Trump people. But she's not getting out.
- 3:35Speaker 2: She'll be there. It was a 20-year sentence. She'll be
- 3:37Speaker 2: there another 10, 15 years. But more is coming out.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Epstein files. There's a lot more Epstein files coming out. And, uh,
- 3:48Speaker 2: another million or so pages that had been sealed. That'll
- 3:51Speaker 2: be coming out. There's not going to be anything bad
- 3:53Speaker 2: in there. There's nothing really bad in any of these
- 3:55Speaker 2: Epstein files. I mean, nothing horrifying. There's no 14 year
- 3:58Speaker 2: olds or pedophile rings or any that everybody thought they'd be.
- 4:03Speaker 2: The worst case is a 17 year old. One of
- 4:05Speaker 2: the girls is 17. But there's a lot of, uh,
- 4:09Speaker 2: older women in there of age, women, hookers, all that
- 4:13Speaker 2: sort of stuff. And there's, uh, A lot of his
- 4:16Speaker 2: friends writing back and forth. You can go read the
- 4:18Speaker 2: Epstein files online. Fascinating to read. Especially some of his
- 4:22Speaker 2: friends writing back and forth about what they did with
- 4:25Speaker 2: this woman, that woman. They're just like horny old guys
- 4:29Speaker 2: chasing women all over the place. And if Epstein meets
- 4:32Speaker 2: one or the other one meets one, they introduce them
- 4:34Speaker 2: to each other. But these are not underage women in
- 4:36Speaker 2: the files. They're all adult women. This one guy I
- 4:41Speaker 2: know who she'll go nameless. He's Probably the closest to Epstein.
- 4:46Speaker 2: He's a very annoying guy. Most people can't stand this guy.
- 4:50Speaker 2: But he's just writing back and forth with Epstein about everything.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Every woman he met, every this and that. He's kind
- 4:57Speaker 2: of a useless guy. Wealthy guy who does nothing for
- 4:59Speaker 2: a living. You wouldn't know the name. And then he
- 5:04Speaker 2: sometimes writes to Epstein. His wife just left town for
- 5:07Speaker 2: a week.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Let's go.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Let's go out and do something. And then there's a
- 5:11Speaker 2: lot of noted people. just chasing after Epstein because they
- 5:15Speaker 2: think he's fun and it's a good networking sort of guy.
- 5:18Speaker 2: He knows everybody. And then there's a lot of academics,
- 5:22Speaker 2: college presidents chasing after Epstein. They're all through the files
- 5:29Speaker 2: from the top, top universities, Harvard and other universities, the
- 5:34Speaker 2: top department guys, the top presidents of colleges. Now, one
- 5:40Speaker 2: reason is Epstein would make huge donations to the college,
- 5:45Speaker 2: $ 10 million, $ 20 million, $ 30 million. He'd raise money, and
- 5:49Speaker 2: the one reason he was doing that is he could
- 5:50Speaker 2: buy access. You need to get your kid into Harvard,
- 5:53Speaker 2: Epstein could do it in a second, or whatever else
- 5:56Speaker 2: college he was given a fortune to. But these college presidents,
- 6:00Speaker 2: many of them very embarrassed to be all through the
- 6:02Speaker 2: Epstein files, running over to his house for lunch or
- 6:05Speaker 2: for dinner. There's another guy who was a top, top,
- 6:09Speaker 2: top revered scientist, running over to Epstein's house, fawning all
- 6:14Speaker 2: over Epstein. Cause he was making huge donations to his Institute.
- 6:19Speaker 2: So you'll see more of that when the new files come,
- 6:21Speaker 2: I'm in the Epstein file six times, nothing bad, nothing bad.
- 6:26Speaker 2: A couple of times he came to some event that
- 6:28Speaker 2: I was the MC of a couple of times. Somebody
- 6:31Speaker 2: emailed him about something they heard on my show. Nothing bad,
- 6:35Speaker 2: nothing bad in there. Uh, Oh, Hey, um, AI is
- 6:41Speaker 2: going to start taking over everything. Now, everybody worried that
- 6:46Speaker 2: the lowest jobs would be replaced by AI. It turns
- 6:48Speaker 2: out that's not necessarily the case. A lot of bigger
- 6:51Speaker 2: jobs are being taken over by AI. A lot of
- 6:54Speaker 2: people now use an AI to do their taxes, their accounting.
- 6:58Speaker 2: In the real estate world, a lot of people, they
- 7:02Speaker 2: still want a real estate agent to negotiate. But when
- 7:05Speaker 2: it comes time to drop the contracts and do the
- 7:07Speaker 2: legal work, AI is being used more and more. Even
- 7:11Speaker 2: the real estate companies using an AI model to completely
- 7:16Speaker 2: do the legal work of the transaction. That's happening a lot.
- 7:19Speaker 2: If you're a real estate agent, things change through the years,
- 7:22Speaker 2: especially those older women. The old housewives have been real
- 7:26Speaker 2: estate agents for 40 years. Years ago, a couple was
- 7:30Speaker 2: looking for a house. The old real estate agent back
- 7:33Speaker 2: then had to pick them up in her car, drive
- 7:36Speaker 2: them all over the place, drive them to 20 different houses.
- 7:39Speaker 2: You had to sit in the car with them for
- 7:41Speaker 2: like hours. It was annoying. Now, everybody goes online. They
- 7:45Speaker 2: look at all the real estate stuff. They look at
- 7:47Speaker 2: realtor.com and StreetEasy and Zillow and all. So they've picked
- 7:52Speaker 2: out everything they want to see. They know exactly now,
- 7:54Speaker 2: I want to see these three houses. That's it. And
- 7:57Speaker 2: they mostly meet the real estate agent there. So she
- 8:00Speaker 2: doesn't have to sit in a car and listen to
- 8:01Speaker 2: these idiots. And they don't have to sit in the
- 8:04Speaker 2: car and listen to her hustling them. But it's changed everything. Hey,
- 8:12Speaker 2: Darlene Graham, keep an eye on this tonight. She's in
- 8:16Speaker 2: a runoff. South Carolina final primary is tonight. She's trying
- 8:22Speaker 2: to recover from this answer. It's one of the strangest
- 8:25Speaker 2: answers in a debate.
- 8:26Speaker 4: Senator..
- 8:27Speaker 2: This is Greta Van Susteren of Newsmax doing the questioning.
- 8:31Speaker 4: Senator, are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security
- 8:35Speaker 4: issues for the United States?
- 8:37Speaker 2: If so, why?
- 8:40Speaker 4: I'm sorry, could you repeat the question? Are Taiwan and
- 8:42Speaker 4: the South China Sea national security issues for the United States?
- 8:46Speaker 4: And if so, why or how? I'm just going to
- 8:50Speaker 4: be honest here. I'm not on national security. I'm not
- 8:54Speaker 4: that informed on national security, so... But I do support
- 9:00Speaker 4: the military.
- 9:02Speaker 2: I've never heard that in a presidential debate. I've never
- 9:07Speaker 2: heard it. It's very honest. It's very real. We've never
- 9:11Speaker 2: had a candidate say, yeah, I'm just going to be
- 9:13Speaker 2: honest here. I don't know nothing about this stuff. I
- 9:15Speaker 2: really don't know anything about foreign policy. I just don't know.
- 9:22Speaker 2: But I've got to admit, she's been brilliant, brilliant at
- 9:26Speaker 2: handling the gaffe. Now, normally, you'd be so embarrassed, you'd
- 9:30Speaker 2: make a million excuses. She's just said, hey, I don't
- 9:33Speaker 2: know about that stuff. I'm new to this. I'm just
- 9:36Speaker 2: a regular person. And she said, Fox & Friends, I
- 9:39Speaker 2: talked to a lot of people, and they said, you
- 9:42Speaker 2: know what? I'm proud of you. They said, because you're honest.
- 9:47Speaker 2: You're honest. We don't get that a lot in politicians.
- 9:50Speaker 2: And she said, you know, hey, people are more worried
- 9:52Speaker 2: about the price of groceries and not Taiwan. OK, I
- 9:57Speaker 2: don't think there's anybody out there counting on a senator
- 10:00Speaker 2: to help with the price of groceries. If you are,
- 10:03Speaker 2: good luck with that. It's not going to happen. So
- 10:07Speaker 2: speaking of prices, crazy mom Donnie is going to drive
- 10:11Speaker 2: the price of everything up. You'll somehow be paying more
- 10:14Speaker 2: for groceries whenever a Democrat, liberal left wing socialist jumps
- 10:18Speaker 2: into a problem. Somehow it gets worse. It always, always
- 10:23Speaker 2: gets worse. Mamdani, it's one scheme after another with his
- 10:28Speaker 2: free groceries. Look at this BQE, the Brooklyn Queens Expressway.
- 10:34Speaker 2: All of a sudden he decides this is a big
- 10:35Speaker 2: issue that needs his help. They start putting out this
- 10:39Speaker 2: video of the parts of the BQE are crumbling and
- 10:43Speaker 2: the concrete is coming apart. Look at this. It's sagging.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Look at this where it goes over a bridge. It's
- 10:48Speaker 2: going to fall. It's This is in dire need of repair.
- 10:52Speaker 2: So he announces he will fix it. He has put
- 10:56Speaker 2: together a team. They're going to repair the BQE. I'm
- 11:01Speaker 2: not kidding. I swear to God. He said yesterday, work
- 11:05Speaker 2: will begin in 2030. It'll begin in 2030. That's four
- 11:11Speaker 2: years from now. This guy is crazy. These grocery stores,
- 11:15Speaker 2: he keeps showing the locations. He keeps showing you where
- 11:18Speaker 2: it's going to be. You'll never see a grocery store.
- 11:22Speaker 2: He keeps telling you it's going to, this one's going
- 11:24Speaker 2: to open in 2029. This one will open in 2036.
- 11:26Speaker 2: He's got one he claims will open next year. You'll
- 11:29Speaker 2: never see it. They built a Wegmans in Norwalk, right
- 11:34Speaker 2: near Stu Leonard's. You ever see how big a Wegmans is?
- 11:38Speaker 2: It's like the size of an airport. So they announced
- 11:41Speaker 2: Wegmans is coming to Norwalk and it's a big empty place.
- 11:44Speaker 2: And I look, nothing there. I'll come back in four months.
- 11:48Speaker 2: There's a Wegmans. It's open. There's people coming and going.
- 11:51Speaker 2: It's like four months they opened this place. Uncle Giuseppe's.
- 11:55Speaker 2: It's one of the great supermarkets in the world. Unfortunately,
- 11:58Speaker 2: they're not all over the place yet. I keep yelling
- 12:00Speaker 2: at them to open everywhere. It's like the Italian Wegmans.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Got great food. Uncle Giuseppe's. They're opening in Long Island.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Greenvale in the beautiful shopping center, Wheatley Plaza. They announced
- 12:11Speaker 2: this last year. They're enormous. They're huge. Come back in
- 12:16Speaker 2: six months. There it is.
- 12:17Speaker 3: It's open.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Everybody's coming and going. In six months, they're opening the
- 12:20Speaker 2: biggest supermarkets in the world. This thing, Amandani, is a
- 12:24Speaker 2: broken down, crappy little bodega. He says three years, four years,
- 12:28Speaker 2: maybe he'll get it open. And that Uncle Giuseppe's, I
- 12:32Speaker 2: think it cost a million, two million to open it.
- 12:35Speaker 2: The Wegmans, I think it was a million and a half.
- 12:38Speaker 2: This little broken down bodega, he wants to spend 60
- 12:41Speaker 2: million to open it. These people are crazy. They're totally inexperienced.
- 12:46Speaker 2: They have no idea how to build anything. Listen to
- 12:49Speaker 2: Mom Don.
- 12:50Speaker 5: They feel that they're being disenfranchised.
- 12:52Speaker 6: And what's your response to their suit and their attempt
- 12:54Speaker 6: to stop your city-run grocery stores?
- 12:56Speaker 5: I continue to be fully confident in both the legality
- 12:59Speaker 5: and the importance of our initiative to deliver five city-run
- 13:03Speaker 5: grocery stores, one in each borough, to the people of
- 13:06Speaker 5: our city. We are talking about a reflection of a
- 13:12Speaker 5: cost of living crisis that has seen grocery prices increase
- 13:15Speaker 5: by about 30% over the last few years.
- 13:18Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Why are the grocery prices so high in Manhattan? Because
- 13:20Speaker 2: they're paying a fortune in taxes, real estate tax. They're
- 13:23Speaker 2: paying fees. They're trying, the trucks are getting taxed and
- 13:27Speaker 2: told to death. Everything in the grocery store is brought
- 13:30Speaker 2: in by truck. So when the trucks are paying a
- 13:33Speaker 2: hundred dollars on the bridge to come over, they are
- 13:35Speaker 2: a hundred for the trucks and, uh, Congestion pricing raises
- 13:39Speaker 2: the price of everything. First of all, if you want
- 13:41Speaker 2: to build a grocery store, call an expert. You know,
- 13:45Speaker 2: you've got John Katsimatidis. He owns hundreds of groceries. He's
- 13:48Speaker 2: an expert, expert on doing it. Uncle Giuseppe is a
- 13:53Speaker 2: great owner. What's his name? Carl Del Prete. Wonderful man.
- 13:57Speaker 2: You call these kind of guys. They'll be happy to
- 13:59Speaker 2: help you. If you said, I'm the mayor of New York.
- 14:02Speaker 2: I need help. Could you show me? They'll come right over.
- 14:05Speaker 2: They'll be happy to have a meeting with you. They'll
- 14:07Speaker 2: show you how to do it. They'll even help you.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Let me lend you some people. Here, I'll lend you
- 14:11Speaker 2: three guys. It'll show you everything. But these guys, these
- 14:15Speaker 2: crazy little democratic socialists, they call them silver spoon socialists.
- 14:21Speaker 2: They're spoiled little kids that never had a job, got
- 14:23Speaker 2: indoctrinated in some crazy Ivy League, Harvard, Columbia kind of
- 14:27Speaker 2: a place. So you'll never see these grocery stores. Also,
- 14:32Speaker 2: they're going crazy. They create these Boogeyman, we've got to
- 14:36Speaker 2: stop the data center. You know, these data centers, look
- 14:40Speaker 2: at this phone. Look at all the things you can
- 14:42Speaker 2: do on this phone. It's thanks to the data center.
- 14:45Speaker 2: And they're solving the problems of those data centers one
- 14:47Speaker 2: by one. The electricity problem, they almost got that solved.
- 14:52Speaker 2: The water, how much water it uses, they figured out
- 14:55Speaker 2: how to recycle the water and not use so much. Now,
- 14:57Speaker 2: the only problem is the noise. You've got those turbines
- 15:01Speaker 2: and those coolers that make like a loud, loud, loud hum.
- 15:05Speaker 2: There's the other one that makes a high-pitched tone. You've
- 15:08Speaker 2: got noise. You've got noise. But go stand next to
- 15:12Speaker 2: LaGuardia Airport. You want to hear noise, go stand next
- 15:15Speaker 2: to LaGuardia Airport. It's in a residential neighborhood in Queens.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Go to John F. Kennedy. It's even bigger. It's surrounded
- 15:23Speaker 2: by houses, so people live there. I mean, I guess,
- 15:27Speaker 2: you know, you've got to put the data centers as
- 15:29Speaker 2: remote as you can. But, hey, we'll take some calls next.
- 15:32Speaker 3: 800-321-7000.
- 15:32Speaker 2: 0710 is the number. 800-321-0710. Live from the WOR LifeVac studios,
- 15:44Speaker 2: Mark Simone. Hey, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Let's go to Sean in New Jersey. Sean, how you doing?
- 15:58Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
- 15:58Speaker 7: Yes, again, about Lindsey Graham's sister. I forget her first name.
- 16:02Speaker 3: Darlene.
- 16:02Speaker 7: But I've oh it's really i like again i like
- 16:06Speaker 7: her answer she was honest and listening to that question
- 16:08Speaker 7: again it sounded like such a gotcha question of everything going.
- 16:12Speaker 2: On in the world it's actually not a gotcha question
- 16:15Speaker 2: it's a big big issue that the united states is
- 16:17Speaker 2: facing china taking over taiwan it's.
- 16:20Speaker 7: Been talked about but senators never really decide on that
- 16:23Speaker 7: right that's a presidential thing i just feel like that
- 16:25Speaker 7: was of everything else going on that people are worried
- 16:27Speaker 7: about okay but if you're.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Going to ask a foreign policy question it's one of
- 16:31Speaker 2: the 10 questions you'd ask. And it's great of Ann Sussman,
- 16:33Speaker 2: who later apologized, said she was sorry she asked the question.
- 16:36Speaker 7: Okay.
- 16:37Speaker 4: All right.
- 16:38Speaker 2: But, you know, if you were going to be a senator,
- 16:41Speaker 2: you would brush up on foreign policy. And if you
- 16:43Speaker 2: brushed up on foreign policy, that's one of the issues
- 16:46Speaker 2: you'd take a look at. Let's go to Janet in
- 16:48Speaker 2: New Jersey. Janet, how are you doing?
- 16:51Speaker 6: I'm doing good today. How are you, Mark?
- 16:53Speaker 2: Let me check. Not bad. Not bad.
- 16:56Speaker 7: Oh, good, good.
- 16:57Speaker 6: I want to get back to the data centers that
- 17:00Speaker 6: you brought up, the fact that people are so afraid
- 17:02Speaker 6: of them. I have to be honest, my husband, I
- 17:05Speaker 6: don't want to name the company. He builds them. He,
- 17:08Speaker 6: in fact, is on travel right now building one. And
- 17:12Speaker 6: I can tell you this. They needed an enormous amount
- 17:16Speaker 6: of water. And, you know, water is already short in
- 17:19Speaker 6: some of these states within our country. You don't have that.
- 17:23Speaker 2: But they're also figuring out how to recycle water in
- 17:27Speaker 2: these data centers, some of them, so they don't use
- 17:29Speaker 2: that much water.
- 17:31Speaker 6: Yeah well i i know from from him building them
- 17:36Speaker 6: i know that you know they do require a lot
- 17:39Speaker 6: and if you don't have a lot to begin with
- 17:41Speaker 6: that that's a big drain on on the uh communities
- 17:44Speaker 6: that they are being built in the other thing is
- 17:46Speaker 6: the electricity how are they going to create their own electricity.
- 17:50Speaker 2: They're going to use small nuclear reactors that uh are
- 17:57Speaker 2: already being used in some businesses and they will supply
- 17:59Speaker 2: all the electricity and the water problem will be solved
- 18:02Speaker 2: pretty soon.
- 18:03Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 18:04Speaker 6: And also they do make a tremendous amount of noise. Um,
- 18:07Speaker 6: I have a friend who actually is selling her home
- 18:10Speaker 6: currently because her, the home values around this data center, uh,
- 18:15Speaker 6: they're dropping exponentially. It's, it's insane. She's, she's not going
- 18:19Speaker 6: to get what she wants for her home. Um, they
- 18:22Speaker 6: do make a tremendous amount of noise.
- 18:23Speaker 2: You have the same thing with the airports with, Living
- 18:27Speaker 2: near a train track and all that.
- 18:29Speaker 6: Absolutely. But when you buy your house and I mean,
- 18:33Speaker 6: when you mentioned the LaGuardia, you know, obviously how many
- 18:37Speaker 6: years ago now you've got people that are waking up
- 18:39Speaker 6: and and. but ground is being broke and they don't
- 18:42Speaker 6: even realize that these data centers are being built. And
- 18:44Speaker 6: I mean, again, I should be careful.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Because I don't believe for a second. I don't believe
- 18:49Speaker 2: for one second that your husband has anything to do
- 18:51Speaker 2: with data centers. I think you're one of those paid callers,
- 18:53Speaker 2: whether he's called those.
- 18:54Speaker 6: Um, I absolutely positively can assure you that he does.
- 18:58Speaker 7: And he is.
- 18:59Speaker 3: All right.
- 18:59Speaker 2: Well, I don't believe her for a second. I never
- 19:02Speaker 2: heard somebody so anti data center. If she was that
- 19:06Speaker 2: really anti, she'd throw the guy right out of the house. No,
- 19:08Speaker 2: actually no, Some of them are very good now at
- 19:11Speaker 2: recycling water. They don't use that much. The noise is
- 19:14Speaker 2: the big problem. It's a big problem. The noise travels
- 19:19Speaker 2: about a half a mile, but it can be heard
- 19:22Speaker 2: a mile away. So you've got to make them a
- 19:23Speaker 2: mile away from everything. It's got to be out in
- 19:26Speaker 2: the middle of nowhere. That's the place for a data center.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Let's go to Kenny in Westchester. Kenny, how are you doing?
- 19:33Speaker 3: Darlene Graham's comment is right up there when Jimmy Carter
- 19:36Speaker 3: said he consulted with his 10-year-old daughter on atomic arms race.
- 19:40Speaker 3: It is.
- 19:41Speaker 2: It is. But Carter still won.
- 19:44Speaker 3: He lost. He lost when he said that to Reagan.
- 19:46Speaker 7: Oh, okay.
- 19:47Speaker 2: That was in the Reagan debate.
- 19:48Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 19:49Speaker 3: Yeah. Anyway, Mark, you should be on 24 hours a day,
- 19:53Speaker 3: and do you have any old clips of you talking
- 19:55Speaker 3: to Pat Buchanan?
- 19:57Speaker 2: Of course. Yeah, he was a regular on the show.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Probably have, probably have 50 interviews with him.
- 20:04Speaker 3: You gotta, you gotta play him. Those are classics.
- 20:07Speaker 2: Uh, Yeah, you know, we got, I have probably, let's say,
- 20:12Speaker 2: 35 years of interviews. Everybody you could ever name. Millions.
- 20:16Speaker 2: And I got them all there and I said, I'm
- 20:17Speaker 2: going to go through these and I'm going to take
- 20:19Speaker 2: clips out of them. And then, you know how you
- 20:23Speaker 2: put something off and procrastinate? I've been looking at those
- 20:28Speaker 2: boxes for 20 years. I never actually go in there
- 20:30Speaker 2: and find it. Somebody dies and then you've got to
- 20:32Speaker 2: go hunt for the clip and look for it. But
- 20:34Speaker 2: Pat Buchanan was a great, great guest. We used to
- 20:37Speaker 2: have him on probably every every couple of weeks for
- 20:39Speaker 2: a long time. Let's go to Lenny in New Jersey. Lenny,
- 20:42Speaker 2: how you doing?
- 20:44Speaker 8: Good morning. Um, I just want to know what if we,
- 20:47Speaker 8: everybody who went down to the commemoration on October 7th
- 20:50Speaker 8: was to bring a whistle. And as soon as mayor
- 20:53Speaker 8: would speak, everyone would blow the whistle to drown him out.
- 20:57Speaker 2: Are you talking about September 11th?
- 21:00Speaker 8: September 11th.
- 21:01Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 21:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:02Speaker 2: Uh, No, it's disrespectful, first of all, to blow a whistle.
- 21:08Speaker 2: And at the 9-11 memorial, you don't do that. What
- 21:10Speaker 2: they should simply do, what the cops did to de Blasio,
- 21:13Speaker 2: just turn their back when he speaks or when he's there.
- 21:16Speaker 7: Disrespectful?
- 21:17Speaker 8: Look what he did to all those people.
- 21:19Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
- 21:19Speaker 8: Disrespectful?
- 21:21Speaker 2: No, it's disrespectful to start blowing whistles at the 9-11 ceremony.
- 21:24Speaker 2: It's not a nice thing to do. But the cops
- 21:26Speaker 2: were perfect with what they did. De Blasio was there.
- 21:31Speaker 2: They all just turned their back on him. And you'll
- 21:33Speaker 2: see that with Mamdani. They'll all just turn their back
- 21:36Speaker 2: on him. If you're at the nine 11 ceremony, you
- 21:38Speaker 2: don't want to hear.
- 21:40Speaker 3: It.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Doesn't sound good there. Let's go to a John in Pennsylvania. John,
- 21:44Speaker 2: how you doing?
- 21:45Speaker 1: Hey, Mark. Uh, just want to comment on mom, Dami supermarket.
- 21:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:51Speaker 1: I think that, uh, he just wants to redistribute. Well,
- 21:54Speaker 1: they don't care where the money goes. Just like, uh,
- 21:56Speaker 1: you know, Gavin Newsom's train in California or, uh, de
- 22:00Speaker 1: Blasio's wife with her waist.
- 22:02Speaker 2: And, uh, Well, also, you got to remember, he's a
- 22:04Speaker 2: kid who never had a job. Went to, where'd he go?
- 22:08Speaker 2: Columbia or someplace, one of those indoctrination camps for four years.
- 22:11Speaker 2: And he learned about government supermarkets. You know, you go
- 22:14Speaker 2: to Cuba, go in the government supermarket. You know, go down,
- 22:18Speaker 2: go to the cereal aisle in America. There's 47,000 brands
- 22:21Speaker 2: of cereal. Go in Cuba. There's just white boxes and
- 22:24Speaker 2: black letters that says cereal on them. It's some kind
- 22:26Speaker 2: of generic cereal. Uh, On a half-empty shelf. And that's
- 22:30Speaker 2: what you get in government supermarkets. And it's the worst
- 22:36Speaker 2: food in the world. And it ends up being higher
- 22:39Speaker 2: priced than everything in a regular supermarket. Hey, when we
- 22:41Speaker 2: come back, Bill O'Reilly will be with us. We'll talk
- 22:43Speaker 2: to him about all of this. Coming up next on 710WOR. Now,
- 22:49Speaker 2: much more Mark.
- 22:51Speaker 4: Mark Simone.
- 22:52Speaker 2: Now, 9 till noon weekdays.
- 22:55Speaker 3: On 710WOR.
- 22:58Speaker 2: Well, Bill O'Reilly, America's number one TV anchor for decades.
- 23:02Speaker 2: You know, he's the best-selling nonfiction author on earth. His
- 23:05Speaker 2: latest book is wonderful. It is an amazing book called
- 23:09Speaker 2: Confronting America. Takes you through America over the last few decades,
- 23:13Speaker 2: and you've got to read this book. It's available right now.
- 23:17Speaker 2: You can pre-order. It's about to come out. You can
- 23:19Speaker 2: pre-order Confronting America at Amazon or wherever, or go to BillOReilly.com.
- 23:25Speaker 2: You can get the book, the TV show, the column.
- 23:27Speaker 2: Watch his YouTube channel. Great stuff there. His podcast, we'll
- 23:32Speaker 2: do it live. Everything's at BillOReilly.com. Bill O'Reilly, how you doing?
- 23:36Speaker 3: This is my last media appearance other than the No
- 23:43Speaker 3: Spin News before two weeks of vacation. Two weeks? How
- 23:47Speaker 3: about that?
- 23:48Speaker 2: Two weeks?
- 23:49Speaker 3: Two weeks.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Whoa.
- 23:51Speaker 3: Because I'm an old guy.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Leaving the country?
- 23:53Speaker 3: Because I'm an old guy. Old guys, no. I'm staying
- 23:56Speaker 3: in eastern Long Island. Probably the most beautiful place in
- 24:00Speaker 3: the summer in the country.
- 24:02Speaker 2: It is beautiful out there. But it takes you two
- 24:06Speaker 2: hours to go 12 feet there with all the traffic.
- 24:08Speaker 3: But otherwise, it's... Unless you drive at night. So that's
- 24:13Speaker 3: the key. You got to stay up late, get in
- 24:16Speaker 3: the car about 9 p.m., and then you'll cruise. Okay.
- 24:20Speaker 2: But everything's closed by 9.30 out there.
- 24:22Speaker 3: But... Yeah, I'm not a social guy. You know me.
- 24:26Speaker 3: Nobody wants to hang with me.
- 24:29Speaker 2: Hey, tonight you've got a few primaries. What's going to
- 24:32Speaker 2: happen tonight? What's going to happen in the midterms? How
- 24:34Speaker 2: does it look to you?
- 24:37Speaker 3: It's impossible because of Iran and affordability. So the Trump
- 24:45Speaker 3: administration believes that if they can strangle Iran's economy, they'll
- 24:49Speaker 3: fold soon. And then prices will drop dramatically in the
- 24:56Speaker 3: USA and around the world, and that will help build
- 24:59Speaker 3: momentum for the Republicans. And the Democratic Party, they're just
- 25:04Speaker 3: going to continue slashing Trump and anybody associated with Trump,
- 25:09Speaker 3: as we saw with the Natalie Harp situation. So if
- 25:14Speaker 3: I had to bet right now, I'd say the Democrats
- 25:16Speaker 3: are probably in a lead of about two to three points.
- 25:21Speaker 3: But that could evaporate quickly.
- 25:23Speaker 2: Now, the problem is the economy is in great shape
- 25:26Speaker 2: right now by all metrics that you would use. Inflation
- 25:30Speaker 2: is not bad. It's not out of control. But the
- 25:33Speaker 2: media day and night is convincing everybody that we're in
- 25:36Speaker 2: a terrible economic crisis. How do you battle that? How
- 25:39Speaker 2: do you fight that?
- 25:41Speaker 3: Well, if I'm President Trump, I bring a chart wherever
- 25:45Speaker 3: I go pointing out that the economy is strong, historically speaking.
- 25:51Speaker 3: The problem you have is that you have a two-tiered
- 25:56Speaker 3: situation in America. You have people who are successful and
- 26:01Speaker 3: know how to handle their money, invest their money. They're thrifty.
- 26:07Speaker 3: They pay attention. And then you have a whole bunch
- 26:10Speaker 3: of people, maybe half the country, that just waste their
- 26:13Speaker 3: money and they don't understand what economics are. So if
- 26:19Speaker 3: they get hit by $ 3, $ 4 gasoline, they're hurting. And
- 26:25Speaker 3: that's where the Democratic Party always goes to the underdog,
- 26:30Speaker 3: economic underdog, always. And you're getting hosed and you're this
- 26:33Speaker 3: and you're that. That's a powerful message. And the craziness
- 26:39Speaker 3: of it is that there are Americans who believe the
- 26:42Speaker 3: government can fix it. The government can't fix it. So
- 26:46Speaker 3: when you hear affordability... by the Democrats, you go, how? How?
- 26:51Speaker 3: What are you going to do? And then you never
- 26:55Speaker 3: get an answer. You get, well, Trump's the devil. Okay.
- 27:00Speaker 3: But we don't do wage price controls here. I would
- 27:04Speaker 3: absolutely come down if I were president on the health
- 27:08Speaker 3: insurance companies and auto insurance and all that. I'd make
- 27:12Speaker 3: life real difficult for them because they're profiteering and so
- 27:15Speaker 3: are the American oil companies. They're profiteering on all this
- 27:20Speaker 3: chaos in the world. And I think that they can
- 27:23Speaker 3: pull back a little and.
- 27:24Speaker 6: Help us out.
- 27:25Speaker 2: Yeah. So when you say the government can't fix it,
- 27:28Speaker 2: they can't. But they'll just yell, tax the rich, tax
- 27:31Speaker 2: the rich. And then the media will..
- 27:32Speaker 3: Right, but it's such a cliche and it's so stupid.
- 27:36Speaker 3: You just look at people, tax the rich. The rich
- 27:39Speaker 3: are tapped out. They're tapped out. Okay, you can't be...
- 27:45Speaker 3: imposing 60%, 70% taxes on individuals and corporations. We're up
- 27:51Speaker 3: in the mid-50s now, if you live in New York.
- 27:54Speaker 3: We're in the mid-50s. They're taking more of your money
- 27:58Speaker 3: than you have. So are you going to continue this?
- 28:02Speaker 3: I mean, this is what communism is, socialism is. But
- 28:08Speaker 3: the poor, that's not their concern. Their concern is living
- 28:13Speaker 3: week by week.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Yeah. These crazy socialists, these crazy, out-of-control, unbelievable left-wing coups.
- 28:22Speaker 2: Did Donald Trump cause this? I mean, listen, we love
- 28:24Speaker 2: him and he's effective and he gets things, but the over-the-top,
- 28:27Speaker 2: abrasive personality, did it drive the left so nuts that
- 28:32Speaker 2: they think they've got to do this to counter him?
- 28:36Speaker 3: Well, if you look back on Romney and McCain and Bush,
- 28:40Speaker 3: even Ronald Reagan, they were attacked by the Democratic Party.
- 28:45Speaker 3: But it were routine attacks. There wasn't this kind of vitriol,
- 28:49Speaker 3: this kind of personal stuff. I believe, and I could
- 28:53Speaker 3: be wrong, I hope I'm wrong, there is a segment
- 28:57Speaker 3: of the American population that would like to see Donald
- 28:59Speaker 3: Trump dead. That's how much they hate him. So the
- 29:05Speaker 3: level of hatred has risen from a Romney, where it
- 29:10Speaker 3: was fairly low, Obama just outclassed him, um, to, we
- 29:16Speaker 3: really hate Trump and we want the worst for not
- 29:19Speaker 3: only him, but anybody associated with him. There are a
- 29:23Speaker 3: lot of people in that category and that gets to
- 29:26Speaker 3: be pretty dangerous.
- 29:29Speaker 2: You know, but it was always that way for Trump
- 29:31Speaker 2: long before he got into politics. And you, you saw this,
- 29:33Speaker 2: I mean, the business world, half the people hated him.
- 29:36Speaker 2: They couldn't stomach him and the other half loved him,
- 29:38Speaker 2: but he's just used to that. And, uh, he, he'll
- 29:41Speaker 2: never do anything to adjust. And is there anything he
- 29:44Speaker 2: could do to it to fix this?
- 29:46Speaker 3: Well, he could modify a little bit, um, his presentation
- 29:51Speaker 3: and he does on occasion, you see him, um, pull back, uh, and, uh,
- 29:59Speaker 3: have detente or whatever, and he didn't like this guy,
- 30:02Speaker 3: but now he likes him. You've seen it. But it's
- 30:06Speaker 3: all personal, Donald Trump. So politics is personal. And if
- 30:10Speaker 3: you attack him, if you're unfair to him and he
- 30:13Speaker 3: perceives you as an enemy, then he's going to, you know,
- 30:17Speaker 3: just like the schoolyard, he's going to escalate it, the rhetoric.
- 30:24Speaker 3: And there are occasions when he will actually go after
- 30:28Speaker 3: people like call me and i support that because i
- 30:31Speaker 3: think homie deserves to be scrutinized in a court of
- 30:35Speaker 3: law i think what call me did manipulating of the
- 30:39Speaker 3: elections uh... is a crime and why would you ignore
- 30:44Speaker 3: that crime that's it that's a serious situation now i
- 30:47Speaker 3: could be wrong call me since i would do process
- 30:51Speaker 3: but boy the evidence on the surface is absolutely there.
- 30:58Speaker 2: You're the great historian. These socialists, these democratic socialists, they
- 31:02Speaker 2: all tend to be wealthy guys. They've got six houses.
- 31:05Speaker 2: They live like... Is that normal for a socialist movement historically?
- 31:09Speaker 3: Everywhere. Really?
- 31:11Speaker 5: Everywhere.
- 31:13Speaker 3: You know, I can't trace down any communist socialist leader
- 31:19Speaker 3: that lived with the folks. They're not living with the folks.
- 31:23Speaker 3: They're living high on a hill. And they get everything
- 31:26Speaker 3: they want. And it's always been that way. And they
- 31:30Speaker 3: justify it by saying, well, we need an elite government
- 31:37Speaker 3: cadre to guide the people. People need to be guided.
- 31:40Speaker 3: They're like sheep. And they believe this. So there's got
- 31:45Speaker 3: to be these people who are the guiders. And they
- 31:49Speaker 3: are entitled to special privileges, special wealth. See it in China.
- 31:53Speaker 3: China's a very good example. The oligarchs in China lived well.
- 32:00Speaker 3: And when I asked about it, they said, well, we
- 32:03Speaker 3: need to have guidance. And these people guide, so they're
- 32:08Speaker 3: entitled to their extra compensation. And I'm trying to think
- 32:14Speaker 3: on a totalitarian regime level, if there were anybody, maybe Gandhi,
- 32:21Speaker 3: but he wasn't a totalitarian. He was a nonviolent guy.
- 32:25Speaker 3: But nobody, they just sop up the wealth. Look at
- 32:29Speaker 3: Putin's the richest man in the world. Putin is the
- 32:33Speaker 3: richest man in the world because he takes a cut
- 32:36Speaker 3: of all of the Russian economy. Everything you do, you
- 32:40Speaker 3: got to kick back a little bit to Putin. You
- 32:43Speaker 3: imagine that, but that's what he's doing.
- 32:46Speaker 2: So this socialism is a great system. If you're the
- 32:49Speaker 2: leader for them, it is a great.
- 32:52Speaker 3: If you're the top 2% and you have the, uh,
- 32:57Speaker 3: authority to do what you want it's a it's a
- 33:00Speaker 3: pretty good system for you because there's no elections there's
- 33:03Speaker 3: no um balance on you so you're not going to
- 33:09Speaker 3: be demanded to show up in front of the senate
- 33:11Speaker 3: hearing there's no justice department to investigate you so you
- 33:16Speaker 3: just cruise and take what you want and that's the
- 33:20Speaker 3: attractiveness of communism at the higher level.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Yeah Hey, Bill O'Reilly, I also love the podcast. We'll
- 33:27Speaker 2: do it live. Some great episodes. You should go back
- 33:30Speaker 2: and watch the other episodes. You'll love them. We'll do
- 33:33Speaker 2: it live, Bill O'Reilly's podcast, YouTube or wherever you get it.
- 33:37Speaker 2: Who do you have on this week?
- 33:39Speaker 3: We are taking a little hiatus. I got to give
- 33:41Speaker 3: my staff a break. And me too. So for two weeks,
- 33:47Speaker 3: we'll be floating around. And then we come back. Um,
- 33:51Speaker 3: I'm hoping Monica Crowley, Stephen A. Smith, uh, all these
- 33:55Speaker 3: people said they were going to do it. So we
- 33:57Speaker 3: should have pretty good lineup beginning in the middle of September. Um,
- 34:01Speaker 3: it's fun. And, um, the book of course comes out
- 34:05Speaker 3: September 15th and you're one of the few people who
- 34:08Speaker 3: got an advanced copy of it. It's not boring, right?
- 34:10Speaker 2: No, it's quite a book. It is really a great
- 34:12Speaker 2: book confronting America. And it's a very, uh, it must've
- 34:15Speaker 2: been the toughest book to write because it's a lot
- 34:17Speaker 2: of your personal journeys in there.
- 34:19Speaker 3: Uh, Yeah, it's eyewitness history. And what you read is
- 34:24Speaker 3: what I saw. And with 90 countries under my belt
- 34:30Speaker 3: and every state in the union, every major city in
- 34:33Speaker 3: the USA, I've seen a lot in this business for
- 34:37Speaker 3: more than 50 years. And so I bring all that
- 34:40Speaker 3: in and no anonymous sources, Simone. Yeah. I name everybody.
- 34:46Speaker 3: And some of those people aren't going to be happy. Yeah.
- 34:49Speaker 2: But there's a lot of stuff in there. You're going
- 34:51Speaker 2: to want to read this book. It's Bill O'Reilly's latest book,
- 34:54Speaker 2: Confronting America. Go pre-order it right now, Confronting America, wherever
