  Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Mark Simone Show. Live from the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: WOR LifeVac studios. Well, hey, we got a lot to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: get to this hour. We got to get to Iran
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and we got to get to Jim Baker and Jack
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Smith and all that. Hey, we just got a huge
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: memo about the ratings. Not just this station. This floor,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: on this floor, we got like the six biggest radio
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: stations in the world. And I just look at the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: morning numbers when I'm on and, you know, but they
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: got memos about all the shows. And I heart totally, totally,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: totally dominant. You know, if you're listening in the morning,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the most listened to radio shows in New York are
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: all here. You got Elvis Duran down the hall. You
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: got Light FM, which is like the most single most
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: listened to radio station in America. You got Q104, Jim Curves,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: like the biggest morning show. Right over there is Charlemagne's
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: over there, Power 105, The Breakfast Club, huge numbers. And WOR,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: huge numbers in the morning. Curtis and Larry doing very well,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: beating their competitors where you want to beat them, which
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: is the demo. That's the key. And 9 to noon,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: we're beating everybody and everything. It's very good. I got
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: all the numbers here. Not allowed to read the actual numbers.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: You got to be a Nielsen subscriber to see all this.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: But we didn't win by 10%. It's by a lot.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It's a huge percentage. Huge, huge, huge percentage. Thanks to you,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the audience. Actually, I deserve a little credit too. But
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: if you weren't listening, if I got an Oscar, you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: they always get up. I want to thank this person.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I want to thank that person. And, you know, somebody
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: should just get up there once and say, you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: it was mostly me. I got an agent, but I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: don't trust the guy. And we had a producer and
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a director. I got to be honest. They were always
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: getting in the way. They didn't know what they were
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: talking about. No, but thanks to everybody for incredible ratings.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: This is for the month of September. And it just
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: came out. That's why we're getting all these memos about everything. So, well, actually,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the bad part of this. Now we're going to have
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: even more commercials. When you listen to this show, you say,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: why is the break so long? How come they have
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: so many commercials? That's the problem when you get these ratings.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: That's why when you hear some shows, oh, it's much better.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: They only have two minutes of commercials. If you want
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to know what somebody's ratings are, just count the commercials.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: That'll tell you the whole story. Jack Smith. This guy.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't say this before, but this guy should go
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to jail. This guy really is a dirty, dirty, dirty cop.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: He had to testify about a week ago. He goes
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: before Congress. He testifies under oath that there's nothing partisan
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: about him, that whatever he did had nothing to do
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: with politics. He's not partisan. He's not political. He doesn't
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: take a side. He sat there all day testifying to that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Then this weekend, we see him at a No Kings
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: rally in There's some big protest festival, protest festival. Not
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: only is it the No Kings protest festival, he's wearing
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a No Kings T-shirt. And by the way, nobody has
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: ever looked worse in a T-shirt than this Jack Smith.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Put a jacket on. You don't look good in a T-shirt.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And now stuff is coming out. And you're going to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: see this guy, the Senate committee will have to reexamine this.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: And most likely there'll be criminal referrals on this. Now,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: we know that he targeted President Trump. He has a
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: history of being a hitman, Democratic hitman against Republicans. They've
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: used him before for this. For instance, McDonald, the governor
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of Virginia, they got Jack Smith to come in and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: indict him and convict him on 10 charges. But like
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: most Jack Smith cases, it went to higher courts, finally
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: went to the Supreme Court, and they tossed it out.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: They said it was obviously just cheap political lawfare. Well,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: With Trump, we know it was the same thing. Every
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: president leaves with classified documents. The difference with Trump, he
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: left with fewer classified documents than anybody in history. Biden,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in his house, in his office, in his garage, they
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: found 8,000 classified documents. Trump, Mar-a-Lago, after searching every inch
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: of it, they found 35 classified documents. And if you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: put them in a folder, the folder's one inch thick.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: You remember the pictures Jack Smith put out, these pictures
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of thousands of boxes, hundreds and hundreds of boxes? Well,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: only one inch of one box had any classified documents.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: This is all bad enough. Even worse, he didn't just
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: raid Mar-a-Lago. He got authorization to use deadly force. This
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: is in Mar-a-Lago with a bunch of old ladies. You
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: go to Mar-a-Lago, it's just a bunch of old ladies
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: in there.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: It's just, that's all that's there. Why would you need
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: authorization to use deadly force? But at the time, it
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: was the Biden administration. It was the dirty Attorney General
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Merrick Garland. They authorized all this. Well, now more is
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: coming out. It turns out that besides all of this,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Jack Smith was tracking Melania Trump, Barron Trump, Trump's chief
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of staff, Susie Wiles. And remember the time of this,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Trump is just a private citizen. But he and the FBI,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: this is Christopher Wray, who's as dirty as can be,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: started tracking these people. They started seizing their phone records,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: looking at all their data, following them, literally following them.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: They want to know where they were every second. They
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: tap their phones to see who they called. The phone
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: logs are coming out. I'm looking at the Susie Wiles
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: phone log. Every call she made, the length of the call,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: who she called. They tracked Melania. They tracked Barron Trump. Now,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: one of the things they used all this information for
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: is they wanted to make sure to raid the place
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: when Trump was not there, when Susie Wiles wasn't there.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: That's even dirtier. You want to raid their house when
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: they're gone. It's like, remember The Sopranos? Remember that episode
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: where the FBI is watching them and they wait for
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the moment when they're all out of the house. Nobody's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in the house. Then they break in. This is dirty
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Jack Smith. So all the family trips were traced. Everywhere
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: they went, they were followed. This is really dirty stuff.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: This whole surveillance was called, it was the Biden administration.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It was a secret probe. It was titled Plasmic Echo.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: All right, now I keep telling you this Jack Smith
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: is one weird, creepy guy. That's the proof right there.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Who would name something Plasmic Echo? Except some deranged lunatic
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: who plays video games all deplasmic. Echo, what the hell
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: does that even mean? Then Attorney General Merrick Garland signed
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: off on all this dirty stuff. FBI Director Christopher Wray
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: not only signed off on it, they found a handwritten note.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Christopher Wray wrote a handwritten note to Garland encouraging to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: do this. Encouraging to do this illegal thing. dirty, awful
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: surveillance on Trump. So a month ahead of the raid,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: unnamed special agent, an unnamed special agent, they found this
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: in the files, within the FBI, within the Justice Department,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: were raising concerns that the Bureau had no legal authority
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to do this. They had no legal authority to raid
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the president's house, no legal authority to go in his
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: bedroom or his office. The FBI carried out the raid,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and it was the dirtiest raid imaginable. They came in
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: with machine guns. They went through everything. They went through
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Melania's underwear. Can you imagine? This is like Polly Walnut's
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. They monitored everybody's calls. As soon as
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the raid was over, they were carefully monitoring everybody's calls
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to see who they called. They mostly called lawyers and
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. Trump had a private cell phone. They
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: were monitoring that. I mean, You could argue it's illegal,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: but it's the Justice Department doing it. So the fact
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: that they're doing it, they can declare it legal, I guess.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: But it's certainly the most disgraceful abuse of government power.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Even the White House said that spying on political opponents,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the worst weaponization. This is Jack Smith, the White House
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: saying everybody responsible has to be held accountable. That's Jack Smith.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: And how the hell does Merrick Garland get away with
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: all this? Because he stays hidden. You'll notice him. You've
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: never heard from this guy. He's hiding under a rock
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: ever since he left. But it's time now to have
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: some criminal referrals on Jack Smith. He's been doing this.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: He's done this in the past. He's a hitman who's
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: targeted Republicans in the past. He's got to finally pay
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: for all of this. You know, there's a teacher in
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: New York, in these New York City schools. This is
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: a Brooklyn teacher. You got these left-wing kook teachers, these
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: woke left-wing extremist teaching. But this one, this one has
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: been praising Hamas for the October 7th attack. The October
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: 7th attack on Israel was the ugliest thing since the Holocaust.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: It was a Holocaust on October 7th. It was the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: most awful genocide Holocaust where they took Israeli women and children,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: they raped the women, killed the babies. I mean, just
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the most horrendous thing you can imagine. So this teacher
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: in a New York City high school, PS 77, is
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: praising the guy who masterminded this attack. The Hamas leader,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yaya Elsinwar, this teacher is praising him. There's a group chat,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: social media. This guy is saying, long live Elsinwar. He's
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: praising him. I mean, this is the most evil terrorist
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: on the earth right now who led the terrorist holocaust
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: in Gaza. This teacher is praising him. But the parents
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: are going nuts, absolutely nuts. They want this guy removed.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: It's almost impossible. You know, you can't remove these teachers
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: because God's New York City won't do it. There's a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: union that won't do it. Jewish parents have yanked their
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: kids out of not only this school, but other schools
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that have similar kind of teachers. Since the awful October 7th,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: they just are afraid to have their kids around this.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: And a lot of parents demanding this guy be fired,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: this teacher. He's still there. Who would want this guy
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: teaching their children? Who would want this guy in the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: same room with their children? This is absolutely awful. The
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: city council yesterday having hearings on AI. You ever see
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: these people on the city council? I mean, these city
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: council members, these are a bunch of low caliber, not
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: so bright, not so savvy. So what do they know
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: about AI? Well, they make some AI executives come testify.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: This is not like the White House or Congress where
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: they have Zuckerberg and all the top AI CEOs. No,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: this is a bunch of low-end executives. junior AI executives
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: who come and testify, getting questioned and grilled.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: We do not know how to control any AI system yet.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: So any AI system that we build, or perhaps more accurately,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: that we grow, we don't fully control it. We don't
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: understand its drives or why it does the things it does.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: That was the first thing that became apparent. The second
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: thing is that.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Now, remember, these are not the top CEOs of AI companies.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: These are like junior vice presidents. And there's Julie Menon.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: She's not bad. She's kind of common sense. She's the
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: city council speaker.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: As you all four are under oath, we want to
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: hear how each of you quantify the risk imposed by
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: AI in the worst case catastrophic scenario.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then there... But again, this is not high-level hearings.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: These city council people don't know anything. And they got
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: like junior executives. It's not like the White House summit
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: where they were getting into the details of AI. The
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: dangerous part of AI is the recursive, self-improving part. That's
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: where it could go out of control. That's going to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: break out of the sandbox, as they say. But they
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: weren't getting into that level of detail.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I also don't think it matters.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now this is AI executive. What way to watch her?
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: They're going to pounce on her.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I also don't think it matters whether it's 1% or 10%
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: or 20% chance that something catastrophic will go wrong. None
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: of these levels is remotely acceptable. We should not train
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: models that we cannot make an extremely strong case that
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: we can keep under human control.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: All right. Not a bad answer. I'm sorry.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. But to say you don't know and it
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: doesn't matter is flippant at best.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Doesn't sound flippant to me. Now, what's really going on here?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: These AI companies have a lot of money, not millions.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: not billions. They've got trillions, trillions. In Washington, when the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: senators were giving them a hard time, they set up
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: a super PAC right away with $ 30 million in it
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and immediately started passing it around to senators. And that's
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: $ 30 million is nothing. It's $ 1. 50 for them. So they'll
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: be setting up more PACs in Washington, $ 30 million, $ 40 million,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: $ 80 million, giving out the money real fast. That's why
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the city council is all over this. They want to
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: harass the AI companies so that the AI companies set
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: up some packs here in New York and start passing
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: out tons of money to the city council. So that's
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: where they have all these guys testify.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I think it is more likely than not that humanity
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: loses control to these AIs and it could end in
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: human extinction. From my experience, the companies are being extremely
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: reckless given the stakes.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Well, it sounds a little hysterical, but the guy has
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a British accent. You always sound... If you have a
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: British accent, you sound smart. A British accent, the a
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: best substitute for not knowing what you're talking about. Julie Menon,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: of course, all over this.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: If one of your frontier AI models goes rogue and
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: causes serious financial harm, compromises sensitive data, causes physical injury,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: or contributes to a death or deaths, do you each
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: believe your company bears legal responsibility?
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I believe that OpenAI takes its responsibility for safety very seriously,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and we are responsible for developing and evaluating— So.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: You can tell these are not the top AI executives.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: First of all, if AI is going to wipe us
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: all out, kill everybody, I don't think they're worried about
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: who bears legal responsibility. I think we're going to have
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: bigger problems than that. We'll get back to this. We'll
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: get back to these AI hearings. I don't know. We'll
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: get to Cornell coming up. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
