  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show continues on 710WOR.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's hour number two. That's right. That's right.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: It's three hours now, in case you don't know. It's
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: nine to noon. So if you just tuned in, you
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: missed the first hour. A lot to get to today.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: So whatever it was last night, they call it a convention.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: It was more of just a big rally. uh but
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: you're going to hear these stories and if you read
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the fake news i'm going to say we're empty seats
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of empty seats and you're going to see
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: this one picture that keeps showing somebody went way up
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: in the back in the furthest end of the bleachers
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: and there's some empty seats there and they took a
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: picture where the place is clearly packed but in the
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: back there's a section of empty seats but Zoom in
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: on the picture. Zoom in on the stage, on the podium.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: You'll notice there's nobody on the podium. There's nobody up
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: on the stage. It's pretty clear if you zoom in
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and look. This is way before the thing started. People
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: tell me that once it started, the place was packed.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: But if you zoom in there, you'll notice nothing is
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: happening yet. No one's on the stage. Nobody's on the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: side of the stage. It's way before the convention began.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: The big shocking part of this, first of all, The
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: president's speech was an hour and 47 minutes. Nobody can
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: watch one speech for an hour and 47 minutes. You
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: might say, hey, you're on three hours. Well, yeah, but
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: you remember, we take breaks. We have a newscast. We
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: got a weather forecast. We take another break. We talk
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to a guest. It's not just me for one hour
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and 47 minutes talking straight. You can't do that. It's
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: way too long. Even if you're the biggest Trump fan,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: an hour and 47 minutes? You know, after about 48 minutes,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you're kind of saying, well, I think I got the point.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: So it's an hour and 47 minutes. You're on against
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the NFL opening game, which happens to be an incredible matchup.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: It's the two Super Bowl teams playing again. So you're
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: on against that. It's like one of those idiots like
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen that do these concerts three hours. Three-hour concert.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: There are people that do that. I mean, I don't
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: care how much you like the artist. Do an hour.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Do your greatest hits. It's enough. All right. Maybe, maybe
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: if you're a big, big legendary superstar. Okay. Maybe you
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: could do two hours. Three hours? Nobody wants three hours
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: of this stuff. Speaking of concerts, Billy Joel. You know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: he's been suffering some medical problems and he had to
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: stop touring and he's... Supposedly coming back. But he finally
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: revealed it was more serious than we thought. It was
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: actual brain surgery. Billy Joel actually had excess fluid in
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: his brain. It's called NPH. It's a very scary thing.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: They had to implant a shunt to drain excess fluid
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: from inside his skull. He first noticed his balance wasn't good.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: He had this sense of being on a boat and rocking.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: went to all kinds of neurosurgeons, had to have brain surgery.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: It's pretty serious stuff. And he got through it okay.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: That's the tough part. Now he has to go through
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: physical therapy. Doctors will keep an eye on him. And
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: he may be touring again pretty soon.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Here he is.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Next gen, next gen. Let's try it again.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Because of my job, which is playing rock and roll
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: music very loud, that it was giving me something like
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: a concussion every time I did a show. It was
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: causing damage to my brain nerves. And I could be
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: losing more brain cells the more I played, the more
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: shows I did. And I realized that means I shouldn't
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: be doing this right now.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I got to improve.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: That's the other thing about these concerts. Too loud. Way
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: too loud. I mean, if you love the artist and
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: you love their music and you put on their music
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: at home, you wouldn't turn it up that loud. And
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: who are these people that sit right in the front
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: next to the speaker? Too loud. It's too loud everywhere.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Like when there's a DJ somewhere in a restaurant or
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: in a bar. Too loud. Even when you're in a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: restaurant and they've got background music, it's always too loud. Now,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: that's different. That's deliberate, believe it or not. When you
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: go to a restaurant, you think things are just there. No,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: it's all very scientific in a restaurant. Very scientific. You know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the menu is laid out in a scientific way to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: get you to buy certain things. If they want you
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: to order certain things, they put them in certain spots
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: on the menu. They know where the eye goes. They also,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: if you look at a menu, there's a list of things.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: And the first one is very expensive. The first appetizer,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the first entree, the first entree is like $ 99. You go, what? No,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: it's deliberate. They don't expect you to buy that. They
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: don't expect you to order that. It's to make the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: rest of them look very cheap. So then when you
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: look down and you see $ 49, you go, whew, that
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: looks cheap. But if you just started, nope, just said $ 49,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: it sounds high. And then the music is very carefully
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: scientifically calculated. It depends what they want you to do.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Some restaurants, they got big turnover. They want you to
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: eat fast so they can get the table back. So
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: they have actual music that's much faster. It's a much
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: faster beat. It's to increase your rhythm, get you to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: eat faster. Hey, speaking of restaurants, Carnegie Deli opens Tuesday,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I hear. Tuesday, it's going to open the brand new
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Carnegie Deli. It's been gone for 10 years, and it's
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: not going to be in the exact same spot it
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: was because something else opened there. I think it's a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: luggage store or something, or a florist or something. Anyway,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: they're doing very well. So they couldn't get the space back,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: but they're going to move one block south of there.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: And believe it or not, the place they're now in
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: was the location of the old Stage Delicatessen, which for
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: like 40 years was the big rival of the Carnegie Deli.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: The Stage, in fact, had been the deli of New York,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the most famous deli, the biggest deli in the 50s
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and the 60s. There was an owner called Max Asness,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and he was famous. They'd introduce him on the Ed
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Sullivan show. They would have him on the Tonight Show.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: He was the... Mystery guest on What's My Line. This
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: guy was the deli owner famous in America. Then in
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the mid-' 70s, two guys bought the Carnegie, Leo Steiner, Milton Parker.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Leo was like the new Max Astin. He was all
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: over television. He was funny. He was a loudmouth. He
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: was a great guy. And all of a sudden, the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Carnegie became the number one. Also, they had much better food.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, Carnegie was the deli. So
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: it closed all kinds of rent problems, legal problems, building problems.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: It's been gone 10 years. It'll reopen on Tuesday, 7th Avenue.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: New location would be about the 54th, 53rd, where the
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: old stage deli was. It'll be back. So, hey, last
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: night's convention, whatever the hell it was with Donald Trump.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: The other thing is speech was way too long. Somewhere
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: in there, he promised to, you know, if you reelect
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the Republicans... we'll give you $ 5, 000 in cash. Everybody will
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: get $ 5, 000 in cash. Now, of course, the fake news
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: going nuts. I'm looking at MSNBC right now. They're all
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: over this. Trump tries to bribe voters. The Drudge Report,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: which is now a left-wing thing. Drudge doesn't run anymore,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: but the people that run it now made it a
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: left-wing thing. Trump tries to bribe voters. Well, it's a
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Democratic tactic. You know, he's borrowed from the Democrats. They're
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: always bribing voters. Remember Biden with all I'll forgive your
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: student loans. I'll let you go on the student loans,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: which is a bribe. Remember Obama, I'll give you a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: free phone. Everybody who votes for me gets a phone.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: It's a bribe. So he kind of stole their idea. Now,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: how would you do that? Give out $ 5, 000? Nobody knows.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Just like the forgive the student loans. Nobody knows how
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: you'd actually execute that and make it happen. But Trump
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: explains it. He said the economy will boom under Republicans.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: It already has. to a certain degree, but if we're
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: reelected and we've got two more years, we'll really make
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the economy boom. And he said, you'll get a dividend.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: That's what they do in big, big companies. If they
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: have an incredible, unbelievable year, they give stockholders a dividend. So,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, logically it makes sense. Practically, I don't know
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: if it's even possible. And again, the speech too long,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: gimmicks like that don't help. But we'll see. We'll see
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: what the fallout is for it. Oil prices, let me
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: just check again. They have been spiking. Yeah, $ 100 a barrel.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: That's high, very high. Brent crude, $ 105 a barrel. That's
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: very high. So the president also explained last night Iran
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: will not cave in until after the midterms. Now, once
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: this stuff ends, we've been through this before, where every
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: war that closed the Strait of Hormuz happened during the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Iraq war. They closed the Strait of Hormuz. Oil goes
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: to $ 110 a barrel. It gets crazy. As soon as
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: it's over, not only does the gas price come down,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: it plunges. In fact, after the Iraq war, when it
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: was all over and it plunged, it went down to
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: $ 40 a barrel. It got incredibly low. So you'll see
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: that happen here. But the president now saying it may
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: not happen until November. Now, the other thing is we've
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: got this fight with Canada tariff battle. We put a
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: tariff on them. They're putting a tariff on us. They
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: fought right back. So President Trump now banning Canadian alcohol brands.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: And now the fake news is trying to get everybody
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: upset about this. But let's be honest. When you go
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: into a bar or you're ordering drinks, do you really
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: care if it's from Canada? If they ban champagne, that'd
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: be one thing. If they banned all the top vodkas,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: which are generally from Russia or someplace, but no Canadian alcohol,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: it doesn't sound too bad. It doesn't sound too bad.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: They do make malt beer, sparkling wine, vermouth, and cider.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I can live without cider. I don't need any vermouth.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Keep your sparkling wine. Malt beer, I don't need. Now,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: there is Canadian bourbon, rum, gin, vodka, and tequila. They're banned, too.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: But I don't think anybody cares. There's nobody ever in
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: history that ever said to the waiter or the bartender,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: make sure it's Canadian vodka. Don't you have any Canadian vodka?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: It doesn't even sound good. Now, Speaker Mike Johnson, last night, Also,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: he's going to speak tonight at the convention, but he
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: talked to reporters last night, pointing out, if you're Hakeem Jeffries,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: if you're Chuck Schumer, you're going to get done in
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: by these crazies. You let them take over your party. Mamdani, El-Sayed, Ocasio-Cortez.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: And you keep bowing to them, catering to them as
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: if you'll all get along. Mike Johnson pointing out, they're
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: going to eat you alive if they... these crazies, these socialists,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: if they win a lot in the midterms, they're going
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to throw you the hell out. First thing they're going
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: to do is get rid of Hakeem Jeffries as speaker.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: They're going to primary Chuck Schumer right out of the race.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: These Schumers and these cowards, the Pelosi's bowing and catering
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: to these socialists, don't realize they're the first ones that
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: are going to get eaten alive by these people. Hey,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Lindsay Clancy, I don't talk about the case too much,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: only Because I can't figure it out. I just can't
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: figure it out. There's a lot of sympathy for her
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: out there. Eleven jurors would not to convict her. Even
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: in the public, there's a lot of support for her.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. What am I missing? If you strangle
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: your three children to death, I don't know where you
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: get any sympathy for somebody who did that. I know
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: she went through psychological trauma and psycho whatever, but strangling
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: your kids to death, choking even your baby to death.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Could you imagine doing that? So this lawyer is pretty good,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: this Kevin Reddington, the old guy with the glasses. Now,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: he doesn't have a great track record. He's lost a
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: lot of cases, but he's pretty much at the end
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: of his career. He's 75. This is a big, strong
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: way to end his career. He looks pretty good here.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: He is on a media blitz all over the place.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: He called for President Trump to pardon her. That's not
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: going to happen. He's all over television, all over the media,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: all over radio, talking about how bad Lindsay is doing
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: right now. She's currently being held at a state-run psychiatric facility,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Tewksbury Hospital. She's crying all day and night. She's in
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: a very dark place, he says. He says she was
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: an incredible person, an amazing mother, except for the killing
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: the kids, an amazing mother. And he said that she
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: keeps asking for her kid's I want my babies. She
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: keeps saying, I want my babies. This sounds great, but
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: you choked him to death. You killed them. You methodically
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: killed your three children. You murdered them. You killed them.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: But the reason he's doing all this, this media blitz,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: he's trying to get a deal with the prosecutors. Prosecutors
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: have to decide if they want to retry her. Now,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: look what just happened when they tried to try her.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: It backfired on them. So they might be afraid to
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: try it again. He's trying to get them to make
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: a plea deal. He wants a plea deal that involves
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: not one day in jail. That's all he's after, just
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: that you not go to jail. Now, if he pulls
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: this off, well, you got to give the guy credit.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: That's pretty amazing. Anyway, we got a lot to get to.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Mamdani and his crazy grocery store scheme,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: which will never happen, by the way, because there's another
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: obstacle here. We'll get to that. We'll get to Apple,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: everything they introduced and more. We'll take some calls next.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: No.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: The Mark Simone Show. Nine till noon weekdays. For Mark.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: 710WOR.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: 800-321-0710.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: 3-2-1-0-7-10. Let's go to Lou in Oyster Bay. Lou, how
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Mark, love your show.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Love you.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Talked to you last time about Sean Hannity and the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: steak at Rothman's.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Rothman's, great restaurant. The Sbarro family owns it now, and
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: they just opened a new one in Smithtown called Chaz.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I know all about it.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, you do?
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: But anyway, a little pet peeve, a little pet peeve. Listen,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I'm a retired Port Authority police officer. My brother was NYPD,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: retired also, second grade detective. And God bless him, my son,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: three months out of the academy, NYPD. So there's no...
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I say this with all love and respect. Nothing against NYPD,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: but the Port Authority's got to protect its house. And
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: you had said earlier that there were 25 NYPD cops
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: on the grounds of Port Authority. And God bless NYPD
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: also lost officers that day. So again, this is nothing.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: It's just they were... Port Authority runs the World Trade Center,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and there were 25 Port Authority cops there.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. And NYPD also has cops. They don't work
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: in the building, but they work what they call the perimeter.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: They do.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, but I just wanted to give them the recognition,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the department, because we're always living under the shadow of
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the NYPD.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: You know that.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: You're from New York.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Port Authority Police.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: You're a cop in New York.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Port Authority Police are great, but they're not the real NYPD.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: They're not Andy Sipulis.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I was just going to say that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: I was just going to say that.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: They're not Jamie Reagan, let's be honest.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, if you're not a cop.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: They're not Danny Reagan.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: In New York City.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: And you're.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Not in NYPD. You're just not NYPD. So we've got
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: to give our little shouts out once in a while.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Mark. Great show.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: They're not square badges, but they're not Danny Reagan.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Well, we did lose 37 guys on 9-11.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: No, I know. I know. Port Authority police are very good.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: We still wear the badge.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: We still wear the shield. And I have this conversation
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: in bold breaking with my brother. And now my son
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: is going to bust my chops.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Now, too. I've got to be honest, Lou. You're a
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: little touchy. A little touchy. I want you to go
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: to Rothman's tonight and have a drink. I will.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Have a great show, as always.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Go across the street. Christina's Market, one of the best
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: supermarkets in the world. Let's go to Jim in New Jersey. Jim,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Hi, Mark. I want to let everybody know why Republicans
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: don't want to vote. One of the big issues is
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: they don't want to get on jury duty. You go
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: to vote.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I hate to break it to you. I don't
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: mean to bring up reality here, but it's not 1973 anymore.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: They don't use the voter rolls for jury duty. They
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: use motor vehicles. They use leases, rents. It's not based
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: on who votes anymore.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Well, that's good to hear.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: The reason they do that is over the years, less
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: and less people vote. So take this last mayoral race,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: you know, like 12 percent of the public vote. So
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: they can't rely on the voter rolls to look for
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: names anymore. Let's go to David in Queens. David, how
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Hey, Mark. Good morning, Mark.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: With all due respect, I don't believe that radio hosts
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: or anyone in like media should be commenting on the
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Clancy case.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: OK, we'll stop. Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Vincent, how are you doing? Good morning, Mark. Mark, I
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: just want to comment on Lindsey Clancy's lawyer.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you're not allowed to. Word came down from
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Dave and wherever the hell he was.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: Well, hey, Dave. I used to throw bums like that.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: That guy looks like some old rummy that routinely I
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: would send one of the bouncers in the club to
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: throw in the street. That guy is 75 years old. Well,
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: I begged the public to go on Instagram in January 2024.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: There's a photo of Mark Simone and myself in the
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: iHeart Studios, the WOR Studios. And at the time, I
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: was 75 years old. Really?
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: You're kidding.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: What?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: You're kidding. You don't look it.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: Well, that's what I'm saying. That guy looked like old
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: rummies that I would routinely have to throw out because
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: they'd overstay their welcome or they'd have their hands in
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: the wrong place in the club. So anyway, I could
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: see how that one holdout wanted a pinup for murder.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, Vincent, I like when you use those old-fashioned
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: terms like a rummy, a rummy. That's like, look here,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: you mugs.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: An old drunk man. How about that? But this woman
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: should be sentenced Is Creedmoor still in operation, Mark?
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I have no idea.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Well, they should send her. I know Kings Park out
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: in Long Island, that same asylum is still in operation.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: They should send her to the equivalent place up in Massachusetts,
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: and she could practice her Bostonian accent as she speaks
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: to the world. This woman should never see the light
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: of day again. And this is a true story. In Italy,
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: they learned from the Americans, and the criminals were pulling
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: that criminally insane stuff over there. Then they changed the law.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Unless you have a track record where you were seeing
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: a shrink, you were on meds, you were hospitalized. If
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: you go out and whack somebody, they're not going to
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: take the insanity.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Well, didn't she have a record of that? Wasn't she
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: under psychiatric care?
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: No, I'm saying in Italy they're doing that. But, Mark,
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: you don't... To choke out three kids like that takes time.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: And you go from one to the other. Well, what
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: are you going for? All right.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: I agree with you. I agree. That's why I can't
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: have any sympathy.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: For this woman.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Great call.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: Go away, Mark.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I agree. Thanks for calling. Hey, when we come back,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: the hunt for Steve Moore. I think he'll be here
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: this time. We'll talk to Steve Moore next. on 710WOR.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Live from the WOR Life Fact Studios, The Mark Simone Show.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Well, Steve Moore, the brilliant economist, best-selling author. You should
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: get his book, The Trump Economic Miracle. You'll learn a
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: lot about all of this from that book. And make
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: sure you sign up for... He runs the Committee to
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Unleash Prosperity, and every day they put out the best
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: daily newsletter and analysis. It's News Issues Analysis. You'll really
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: love it. It's free. It comes right to your email.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Just go to UnleashProsperity.com and sign up. UnleashProsperity.com. Steve Moore,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Well, good morning, Mark. I am in Dallas for the
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: big convention, and I'm getting very excited about my $ 5, 000 check.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, but now they're calling it a bribe, as
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: is discussed, but every president candidate does this. Obama with
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: the phones. The Obama phones, right? I forgot about that.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Biden with the student loan forgiveness. They all do this,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: but how would you actually.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: We shouldn't, as Republicans, try to outbid the Democrats, because
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: you know what? The Democrats are going to say, you
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: vote for us, we'll give you $ 10, 000.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: How would you actually execute that? You can't actually do that.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: What's that? How would you actually execute that, giving out.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it would cost a trillion dollars if you
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: did the $ 5, 000... you know, bonus. But look, I think
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: the economy is decent speech by the president. The economy
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: really is strong. It's much, much stronger than the media
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: is portraying it as. Now, I am nervous about the
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: oil price. It continues to rise. We're up about, let's see, oh,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: $ 100 now. That's a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad sign.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: The first thing I usually look at when I get
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: up in the morning is what's happening to the crude
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: oil price, because we can't see inflation come down until
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: that oil price comes down. So That's disturbing. But, you know,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: everything else in the economy is going so well. That's
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: what's so frustrating. I mean, we've got more jobs. I
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: don't think I've talked to you since we came out
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: with the jobs report last Friday. That was a blockbuster number,
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: really good number. And we have more jobs available than
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: people willing and looking for work. So, you know, it
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: depends on what your profession is, obviously. But it is
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: a situation where all the investment money around the world
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: is coming to the United States. So that's a good thing.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Isn't this one of the few job reports where it's
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: way up in its actual private sector? It's not government jobs?
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: There were some added government jobs, although Trump has really
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: drained the swamp. He's reduced the federal employment level to
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: its lowest level in like 50 years. Did you know that? No.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: So he has been draining that swamp, and that's been
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: a good thing. There was a slight tick up in
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: state and local hiring in the last report, but it
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: was almost all private sector jobs. By the way, we
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: have something in our hotline, and I know you read
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: it very religiously.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: You probably haven't seen it yet because it just came out.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I just saw it.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: But do you know what the premium is for government
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: employees over what private sector workers make?
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Well, you see, I get the hotline every day. You
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: haven't seen it yet. Forty percent.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Forty percent.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: I read it in your hotline just now.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: There you go. That's amazing. I mean, I just want
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: to make sure people understand. Okay. when you look at,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: you know, equally skilled people like a carpenter who works
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: for the government versus, you know, a carpenter in the
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: private sector or an accountant who works for the government
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: and an accountant in the private sector. So comparing apples
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: with apples, the private sector worker is paid about 25%
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: less than.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: The government worker. But you know where the.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Real disparity is?
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: No.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: The benefits.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: The benefits.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: So you get That's lavish benefits. First of all, there's no,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: virtually no one gets, until Trump came around, nobody ever
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: gets fired from the government. And then you have all
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: these other, you know, things that are going on as well,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: you know, like lavish retirement benefits. So those are about 70% higher.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: So the problem with this is that, you know, who
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: pays the government workers, the private sector workers? You can
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: only have a government worker if you have somebody in
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: the private sector working to pay their, so that's just
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: not fair. I mean, that we're so overpaying these folks
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: who are working for what I call club fed.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I like that. Also, the manufacturing boom that we have
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: going on now, that's great.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Very real. That's another story that isn't being reported. We're
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: in a manufacturing boom again. Remember, all these presidents have
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: always said, we're going to bring back the good paying
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: jobs in manufacturing. They're back. In fact, there's been a
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: big surge in employment and a big surge in pay
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: for construction workers and manufacturing workers.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: By the way, you know one of the.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Biggest new sources of new jobs is? No. Data centers. Oh,
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: of course. Data centers. They're hiring like crazy. And the
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: idiot governor in New York says, no, we don't want
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: data centers. She's saying, we don't want the jobs. We
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: don't want those jobs. Meanwhile, she wants to have 10,000
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: acres of wind farms, but no, we can't have data centers.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: By the way, there are data centers throughout New York.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: People don't even realize they're there, but they're major sources
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: of tax payments. They're major sources of jobs, and they're
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: major sources of of blue-collar workers. So I don't understand
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: why Kathy Hochul says no, no data centers.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Well, they did this with nuclear power plants.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, exactly.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: It's the same thing.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: So, you know, let's hope that analogy doesn't hold true
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: because do you remember that movie, The China Syndrome?
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: With Jane Fonda?
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Well, that movie shows how culture can change things. I mean,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: that movie almost single-handedly destroyed the nuclear energy industry. You know,
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: for 25 years after that, we didn't build any nuclear plants.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: And now, I think another analogy, Mark, is the fracking revolution.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Remember when fracking started?
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, we're going to have earthquakes. All the water is
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: going to be polluted. Oh, no, your water is going to–
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: they would light the Bic lighter next to the water
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: from the faucet and would light up all these focus. Well,
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: we've created a $ 5 trillion– thank God we didn't listen
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: to the fear mongers because the U.S. economy has benefited
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: by $ 5 trillion from fracking. But they tried to make
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: it a dirty word just like they're making data centers
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: a dirty word.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: So these data centers, they figure out how to recycle
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: water so they don't need too much water.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Most of it is recycled, yes. I went to a
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: data center, Mark. I think I've told you this. I
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: was out at the big one in Loudoun County, one
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: of the biggest and first big data centers in the country.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: And first of all, I never saw so many construction
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: workers in my life. They say, oh, these are just
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: temporary jobs. No, they're not because they're constantly expanding, improving
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: the facilities and so on. Trucks coming in and out
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: and the hard hat workers and they're making $ 7, 500 an
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: hour And then, you know, you see how much they're
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: paying in tax. They pay property taxes. They pay huge,
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: you know, bills for the– they pay income taxes, et cetera,
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: et cetera. So they are real boons to the local communities.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: But people don't really realize that. Yeah.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Well, so they figured out the water problem. They'll figure
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: out how to power themselves. So that solves the electricity problem.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: The problem is the noise.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Remember, that's what they said about the tracking. Oh, the
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: water is all going to get polluted. Now, most of
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: what you see in the data centers is that they're
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: recycling most of the water. They are not users of water.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: But look, we're not running out of water. We have
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: plenty of water. But most of it just is recirculated
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: through the system. And by the way, just so people understand,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: the reason they need the water is, you know what
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: they need it for?
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: To cool things down.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Mark, because those computers, I mean, you see
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: like football fields long of computers. That's what they're doing.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: They're processing all this data, you know, billions of transactions.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Every time, I wouldn't be talking to you on the
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: cell phone right now if it weren't for data centers.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: That's what's so crazy. People are like, I hate data centers.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: I don't want data centers. They're terrible. Well, do you
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: like your cell phone?
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Do you like your internet? Yeah. Do you like your
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: GPS system?
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Do you like the fact that we have a system
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: of radars that we can detect? missiles coming in?
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: None of that works without data centers.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: So the only problem is the noise. The big turbines
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: make this noise. But Elon Musk has announced he's going
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: to figure out how to build his own turbines. Knowing him,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: he'll figure out how to make them quiet. And then
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: what's the objection after that?
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Also, he wants to build them in space.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: So who cares how loud they are in space? It's
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: the old thing, you know, in space, nobody can hear
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: you scream.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: So, well, the Democrats always have to create a boogeyman,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: something to be afraid of, whether it's the nuclear plan.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: But you know what I don't understand is why they
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: would do that, because these are blue-collar jobs. I thought
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: the Democrats wanted more jobs. I thought they wanted the
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: high-paying jobs. I thought they cared about the middle class.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: These are people making $ 75, 000, $ 80, 000, $ 125, 000 a year. You know,
• 30:31

  Speaker 2: these people in the room are delegates. You've got to

  Speaker 2: when you're there?
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: People are nervous, and they should be. You know, look,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: you know, they're The pattern is very clear. In almost
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: every midterm election for the last 40 years, the party
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: out of power, which would be the Democrats, picks up
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: a lot of seats. I mean, I was there in 94. Remember,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Republicans picked up like 60 seats or something like that. So,

• 31:41
  Speaker 3: off message. You know, the only thing Republicans have going
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: for themselves right now?
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Democrats. Democrats. The one thing that the voters are more
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: afraid of than Republicans, and that's these crazy socialist Democrats.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: They say no matter how bad Republicans get, Democrats can
