Hour 1 : Trump's speech. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Now on The Voice of New York, it's the Mark
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Simone Show on.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: 710WOR.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Well, a lot to get to today. We'll go over this,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: whatever that was last night. They call it a midterm convention.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It was a bit of a mess. We'll get to that.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Oil prices are spiking. Apple announced all kinds of new
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: products yesterday. We'll go over them. Jimmy Kimmel lashing out.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: We'll get to him. We'll get to Crazy Mom Donnie.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: The U.S. Open and more. It's Thursday. It's the day
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: before 9-11. Tomorrow, the ceremonies will take place. And by
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the way, you don't want to be driving anywhere around
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: lower Manhattan. There's going to be a lot of street closures.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: In fact, Below Canal Street, almost everything will be closed.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: They'll be fencing all around the areas where the ceremony
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: will take place. It's going to be extremely high security.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: It looks like J.D. Vance, the vice president, will be there.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Some ex-presidents will be there. George W. Bush, Obama. Who
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: else will be there? Bill Clinton will be there. Uh,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: luckily not an ex-president, but, uh, some crazy woman who
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: always wanted to be president. Hillary Clinton will be there. Uh,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: she's sometimes had some bad episodes at those 9-11 ceremonies.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Remember the time she passed out? Just passed out right there,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: had to be carried away. But, uh, it'll be very
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: high security. Uh, Mayor Mamdani, and also tomorrow night's, uh,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Rosh Hashanah. So, uh, Mamdani.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Too many of our neighbors have been the victims of
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: anti-Semitic hate crimes, and too many are understandably afraid to
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: come together and celebrate openly. I want to speak directly
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: to our Jewish New Yorkers now. Your safety during these
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: sacred days is of the utmost importance to our administration,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: and we will work tirelessly to ensure that you can
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: observe the holiday securely.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: All right, that's very bizarre. The biggest anti-Semite of all,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a guy who ginned up these hate crimes, is working
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to prevent these hate crimes. It's a little bit of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a catch-22 there, but okay. Now, 9-11 security.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: The NYPD and Secret Service will be implementing heightened security measures.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Fencing will be installed to surround the memorial site and
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: other locations in Lower Manhattan. There will be security screening
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: for anyone invited to the memorial. And please remember that
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: this event is not open to the general public.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Police Commissioner Tisch.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Preserving that history also means preserving its moral clarity. The
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: men who attacked this city were terrorists. The men and
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: women who ran into the towers to save innocent lives
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: were heroes. 25 years cannot be allowed to blur that
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: distinction and shame on those who do.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Well, so there'll be very, very heavy security and a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: traffic nightmare, lower Manhattan. Tomorrow, the ceremony will take place.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Things start about 830. And it's the 25th anniversary, so
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: it'll be a little bigger than previous years. And that's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: why you have all these ex-presidents coming in for this. Now,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the convention last night, whatever it was, I don't know
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: what it was last night. It was supposed to be
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a midterm convention. You got a couple of problems. One,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the political convention in the presidential year, Democratic convention, Republican convention,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: used to be a big deal. Three nights on television.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Full primetime coverage. Well, there's no such thing as primetime
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: in television anymore. People don't watch network television like they
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: used to. And even if you're on in primetime, you're
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: not getting a lot of viewers. Not a lot of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: people are seeing you. You're lucky if you're getting 2
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: million people. Hannity's getting 3.5 million. So you're getting beaten
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: by cable news. Now, a few years ago, It was
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: about eight years ago. The network stopped covering the conventions
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: from 8 to midnight, and then it became 10 to 11, maybe,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: some nights, and it became just the final night. So
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the idea of doing the convention is a little outdated
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: as far as getting attention, but they did it yesterday.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: President Trump came up with this idea for a midterm convention.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know who scheduled it, but somebody needs to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: get yelled at. They scheduled it against the NFL opening game.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Not just any game, it was the Super Bowl team's rematch.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: It was a big deal. So it was a total
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: disaster as far as scheduling. And then the president made
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a speech, but normally if you're going to do a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: convention speech, it's a very tight, focused, well-written speech, powerful,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you know, makes a lot of impact. This was rambling.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It was way too long. It was an hour and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: 47 minutes. It just went on and on. You can't
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: do a one hour, 47 minute speech. You just can't
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: do it. The convention hall was packed. I know they're
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: going to try to tell you there were so many
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: empty seats. If you look at those pictures, they're early
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: in the evening. It eventually did fill up. And, but again,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the speech was way too long. The big shock of
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the night was a Democrat appeared, John Fetterman. John Fetterman
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden made an appearance, and that was
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: on video. There were a number of Republican speakers, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: one was going to be Senator Dave McCormick, the other
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania senator who's become a good friend of President Trump's.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: But to introduce him, instead of somebody coming out to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: introduce him, a video started, and there was Fetterman, the Democrat,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: At the Republican convention.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Yes, I'm Senator John Fetterman, Pennsylvania. Yes, I'm a Democrat.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Why am I here talking to you today? Because, well,
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: I'm a common sense Democrat. I'm always going to stand
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: with America. I'm always going to reject the extremes and
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: socialism and that anti-American way of life.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what the backlash was going to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: be from his fellow Democrats. It was quite a surprise.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Dave McCormick is.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: The kind of senator that gets the job done and
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: he's going to fight for Pennsylvania. I'm proud to count
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: him as my friend. Right back over my shoulder. That's
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: the iconic U.S.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Steel Mill.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: And that's exactly the kind of thing that we'll work
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: together and we'll work with President Trump to fight and
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: defend the steel way of life right here in the
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Steel Valley. I have this opportunity to introduce this great American,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: a great senator. And yes, he's in a different party,
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: but I'm proud to count him as my great friend.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big deal in Pennsylvania, the steel industry
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: saving it. And these two guys did everything they could
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to save it. So President's speech. Listen, there were some
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: great moments in that speech, some really great moments. But
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: just moments. It was an hour and 47 minutes. Way
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: too long.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: Who feels Iran should not have a nuclear weapon?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: You know, it happens to me all the time. Guys
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: come up. You know, I wish you didn't do the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: war in Iran. Gasoline's up.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: And I say, well, let me ask you just smart people.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: Let me ask you, not too.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Many of them, by the way.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Let me ask you one question. Can Iran have a
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: nuclear weapon? Absolutely not. Well, then I'm right that I win.
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: It's still tricky. Gas is actually spiking right now. It
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: was up a little with the straight or Hormuz partially closed,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: but now it's spiking. It's at, let me get the latest.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: It was at 100. You know what? As we're speaking,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: it dropped a little. It's 99, but still close to 100.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Brent crude. near 105. That's not good. So average gas
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: prices in America are up 13 cents from last week.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So there is a bit of a spike. Now, the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: president now changing his tune a little in that he's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: saying it's not going to come down until after the midterms.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: He's probably right. And he explains that Iran, the only
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: strategy they have is keep this thing going through the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: midterms and pray that the Democrats win. Because if the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Democrats win, they'll stop the war. They'll let Iran do
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell they want. And that's what Iran is
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: holding out for. They're getting killed militarily. They're getting crushed economically.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Why keep going? That's their hope, that Democrats will win
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the midterm and go very easy on them and leave
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: them alone. But the president, again, long speech, got to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz. The Hormuz Strait.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: I think we should call the Hormuz Strait home.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: We should call it the Trump strike. I should get
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: something out of it. The Trump strike. All right. Yeah, listen,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to the crowd in the room it played. I don't
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: know if that plays across America.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: No matter how well you're doing, we seem not a president,
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: Democrat or Republican, almost never wins the midterms. We've got
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: to change that because we have something going that's so
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: good we can't let that.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: String be broken.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: So I'm asking you to pretend that I'm on the ballot.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I'm on the ballot.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know. The problem is it's a rally speech.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: It's a campaign speech. It's not exactly what you needed.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Fired up the crowd in the room. I guess the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: purpose of that is these are all delegates. These are
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: the people you need to go back home and work
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: their ass off getting the vote out. They got to
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: work the phone. banks, knock on doors. So it's to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: fire up the crowd in the room, get them really
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: hustling for the next couple of months in the election.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: As far as getting votes, I don't know who saw this.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: It was on Fox News. They weren't great about carrying it,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: but you sort of preach into the choir there. I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: would assume you already have those voters. As far as
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: independents seeing it, other voters seeing it, I don't know
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: where they're going to see it. I don't know how
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: they're going to see it. So overall, you've got to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: say this whole thing was a bit of a dud.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: There's a night two tonight. J.D. Vance will speak tonight,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: but we'll get back to that. So 9-11, big ceremonies tomorrow.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: The EPA files, the environmental files were released by Mom Donnie.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: It's getting a little coverage. It's not getting the blockbuster
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: coverage you'd think it'd get. These files show that they
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: absolutely knew that the air was poisonous, toxic, that it
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: was going to hurt people, get them very sick, maybe
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: kill people, and they covered it up. They covered it up,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: and it looks like they just were worried about liability,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that they didn't want to bankrupt the city with the lawsuit,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: so they pretended the air was clean. It looks bad.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Mamdani might look like he did a noble thing, but
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: he did it for all the wrong reasons. He is
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: trying to just destroy the reputations of the Democrats, the Republicans,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the traditional guys, the Bloombergs, the Patakis, the Giulianis, all
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: of that. This is to destroy their reputation. But the report, very,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: very damning.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: The city was making a fiduciary choice to prioritize.
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: The economic stability of lower Manhattan.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: Over the health and safety of the firefighters, the police officers.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: the construction workers and the children that went back to
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: school down there.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: So they just wanted everybody to keep working and covered
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it up. So now we'll see. We'll see how big
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: this story gets. It's out there. It's getting covered, but
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: just barely, just barely. So we'll see if it mushrooms
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: into something bigger. Hey, you know, this Hunter Biden, this scamming, scheming,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: influence peddling son of the former president, Hunter Biden, His
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: latest scheme was Bitcoin, not Bitcoin, but it was a
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: crypto coin. And he released his crypto yesterday. And if
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you'll notice over the last week or two, he's done
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a million interviews. He's been going on every show he
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: can get on promoting this crypto that he was launching yesterday.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: And he launched it in lots of people. I don't
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: know who would be this nuts, but they jumped in
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: and bought the crypto. Lots of people bought it. And
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: by the end of the day, they all got wiped out.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: It was up to $ 300, and then it went down
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to about $ 3. It was down, if you invested big,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: you lost 99% on this Hunter crypto. Now, he could
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: have made a fortune. We don't know. His share, he's
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: given 33% of the coins. It's under lockup. He can't
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: sell it for six months, but... But under other names,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: he might have jumped in and bought some. They are
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: looking at certain trades. Somebody jumped in at exactly the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: right moment, jumped in with about $ 200, 000, caught the wave,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: sold it for a million, and after fees, made about
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: an $ 850, 000 profit in one day. We don't know who
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: that was, but he could have done something like that.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: But all the investors, most of them, almost all of them,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: got completely wiped out. So, hey, Apple made the big
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: announcement yesterday, unveiling all these new products, the new iPhone
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Pro 18. Incredible iPhone. It'll be the greatest phone ever.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: All kinds of improvements. Huge battery life. They got a
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: battery that now can go about 35 hours, even watching video,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: 40 hours. So huge development there. Real serious improvement in
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the camera, which was already pretty phenomenal in the current iPhone.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: So really improved camera. The big color will be the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: dark cherry, the burgundy one. Screen is much better. They've
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: made it tougher than ever. The glass, the case. In fact,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: they're telling you, you don't need to even put a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: case on it. It's so strong. Price is up, not
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: as bad as everybody thought. It's about $ 1, 300 for the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Pro Max, the biggest one. The new Apple Watch, they claim,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: has much better health tracking. If you're using your Apple
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Watch to track things, it's pretty good with the heart
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and the pulse and the blood oxygen. It stinks with
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the sleep tracking. It's really off with the sleep tracking.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: But the new Apple Watch will have a much better
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: sensor on it, so hopefully it's going to be more accurate.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: The big announcement was this flip phone that you could
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: open up, this folding phone. So the iPhone folds open
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: into two halves, and it's a big screen. But it's basically,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: when you open it up, exactly the same size as
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the mini tablet. Exactly the same. So you've got the
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: mini tablet. That's all you need. Most critics looking at
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: all this said, get the new iPhone Pro. It's incredible.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: You might want to avoid the folding phone. It's really
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: not that useful. Critics that have used it for a
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: couple weeks said, You'll really get tired of it after
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a while. It's gimmicky. It's novel. It's great. Again, if
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: you want to watch movies, if you want to watch video,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: just get the mini, the tablet, the mini. It's exactly
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the same thing. The other problem with that foldable phone,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the inner workings of it, the battery is split into
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: two halves, one on each side. It makes it a
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: little less stable. It's thinner. It doesn't have the battery life,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: but the iPhone... Pro-18, that's the one you want to get.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: It's phenomenal. Hey, Benjamin Netanyahu suing an Israeli newspaper. You
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: remember that story came out that he was warned about
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the October 7th attacks. He knew about it ahead of time.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: He did nothing well. We got fake news here. They
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: got fake news over there. And the fake news hates Netanyahu.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: They have Netanyahu derangement syndrome in the left wing over there.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: And this is a left-wing newspaper, The Prince. So he's
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: suing them. He's filed a libel lawsuit against this left-wing
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: newspaper going after him. It's kind of what you have
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: to do now since we went into this fake news
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: era when Trump came along 10 years ago, and it
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: didn't stop 11 years ago, and it kept going. They
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: just feel free to run all kinds of fake news.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: New York Times gets caught all the time. ABC, NBC,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: they get caught with fake stuff. So what can you
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: do about it? You can have the FCC try to
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: go after him. We'll get to that a little later, but...
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Trump has been suing. He collected $ 15 million from ABC.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: He got like $ 20 million from CBS. He's going after
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: NBC now. All he can do is keep suing them
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and taking money from them just so they realize it's
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: a dangerous business model for them. That's the only thing
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: that's probably going to stop him. Anyway, we've got a
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: lot to get to. We'll get to Jimmy Kimmel and
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: his angry ranting. We'll get to the U.S. Open and more.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Coming up, Mark Simone here, 9 to noon. It's three
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: hours every day. 9 to noon every day here on 710WOR.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: It's the Mark Simone Show.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios. Wow. Now, it's still summer.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: In fact, it's going to be a hot day today.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: It's going to be upper 80s. It's going to be humid.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: It's still summer. I know it doesn't feel like it,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: but it's still summer until about two weeks from today. Well, actually,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: two weeks from yesterday is the first day From fall,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: two weeks from yesterday, first day of fall. So it's
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: still summer. Enjoy it. I'm on Instagram. You know, you
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: see all these influences telling you, six things to do
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: this summer, six things to do on the beach. All right,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: now you go on Instagram. It's all the fall stuff.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Here's where to go apple picking. Who the hell wants
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to go apple picking? This is a big thing in
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the fall. You know, if you go to Whole Foods,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: go to Wegman's. Go to any supermarket. You walk in,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: there's 17 kinds of apples right there in the front.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Go apple picking there. You don't have to drive out
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: to the North Fork of Long Island or way up
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to Westchester to go apple picking. The other one is
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: pumpkin picking. If you live in the suburbs, as soon
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: as you get to the supermarket, right in front, there's
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: a display of pumpkins. You can pick them right there. Well,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: it's fun to go actually pick your own apples. No,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: it's not. Let a professional, let a professional pick them
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and clean them and put them, you don't realize they
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: have wax in them. They look much better that way
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: than if you actually pick them up with, they got
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: bugs crapping all over them. Anyway, so, hey, speaking of Instagram,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the administration, the Mamdani administration, the crazy little Mamdani administration,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: there's an office, a city office that, I forget what
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: they call it. It's the press office. And they're the
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: ones that give out the press passes. So when you
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: go to an event where there's a police line or something,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: if you got that press pass, you can cross the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: police line and they give it to the reporters of
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Channel 4, Channel 5. They give it to WOR reporters.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: They give it to the newspaper reporters. They have these
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: press passes. They're hanging around. Well, it turns out there's
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a scandal brewing. The Mamdani administration,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: instead of handing them out to real, actual professional reporters
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and journalists, they've been handing them out to Instagram influencers.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: you know, like goofy 20-something influencers who happen to like Mamdani.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Most of these, there's some serious influencers out there, but
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: many of them are just goofy 20-something women. And it
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: turns out, you know, the Luigi Mangione trial, they got
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: these Luigi fangirls who are absolutely nuts. Many of them
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: showing up with official New York City press passes around
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: their neck, able to cross the police lines. This is
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: thanks to the Mamdani administration. So City Council Julie Menon,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: very powerful City Council speaker. And you know what? She
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: used to run the press office years ago. So she
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: knows about this stuff. She is pushing back on this,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: cracking down on this. So you may see some action
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: taken against Mom Donnie. Now, Jimmy Kimmel, he's out. He's gone.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: He's going to finish up this season. Remember they used
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: to have TV seasons? Remember you'd watch TV? Coming this
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: fall to ABC. Season premiere of this. Well, there is,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: but nobody notices anymore. Did you know it's a new
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: TV season? Yeah, it actually started this week. So it's
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the new season of TV shows, including Jimmy Kimmel. And
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the season ends in May. And then that's the end
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: of Kimmel. He'll go away. They're not giving him a contract.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: ABC is trying to half deny this is what's happening.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: But it's true. He will not be back. He's wrapping
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: up his final season right now. So he's back, and
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: last night went into a tirade. Believe it or not,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: this guy's been on 24 years. It's hard to believe. Actually,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: it's almost 25 years. He's done 4,000 shows. So he
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: came out swinging last night. He said, we've done 4,000
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: of these. That's a lot of shows. According to this
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: White House, it's too many shows. There are those who
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: said we would never last this long. Well, okay, you
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: did 24 years, but you also went from regular late
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: night ratings to the lowest ratings in the history of
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: late night. You really, really, really took the viewership down
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: to the lowest numbers ever in the history of late night,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: which is why they're not renewing it. So he forgot
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: to mention that. He said, there are those who would
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: never think we'd stay on the air. There are even
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: those who use the regulatory might of the FCC to
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: unconstitutionally try to make sure we didn't last well past.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: This guy's not exactly a constitutional scholar, so don't take
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: his word for that. But we did it the hard way, Brendan.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the hard way was. He did
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: it the same as every other late night host. And
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: we are still here. Well, actually, you just got canceled
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: pretty much. You're wrapping up your final season. Kimmel went
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: after Donald Trump. He said, you know, Donald, you and
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I have one thing in common. We both accomplished nothing
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: all summer long. Kimmel was on vacation all summer. He
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: went after inflation, Trump's approval numbers, the reflection pool, the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: war in Iran. Well, this is why he took it
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: down to the lowest numbers in history. He's supposed to
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: do comedy. It's 1130 at night. See, the whole idea
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: that when they created The Tonight Show, Steve Allen created it,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Jack Parr, Johnny, the idea was you have some laughs,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: it's entertainment, lighthearted, you laugh just before you go to sleep.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: this guy and Colbert changed it into screaming, angry, vicious, political.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Let's get you riled up. We want you as mad
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: as can be before you go to sleep. Uh, the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: formula didn't work. Uh, Colbert canceled, no ratings, uh, Kimmel
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: in his final season, having to wrap it up. So, uh,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: when Colbert went off, they put on Byron Allen's comics unleashed,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: which is actual comedians just doing comedy, just getting laughs
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and funny. It's crushing comedy. Kimmel and Fallon in 18-49.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: That's the demo they want, 18-49. It's crushing them in
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the ratings, so look for ABC to do the same thing. Hey,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: we've got a lot to get to, and we'll take
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: some calls coming up on 710WOR. What's better than two
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: hours of Mark Simone? Three!
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: The Mark Simone Show, now nine till noon weekdays, 710WOR.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: So the U.S. Open underway. It's on until the 13th.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: When is that? I think that's Sunday. And I can't watch.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I like playing tennis. I can't sit there and watch
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: it on TV. He hits the ball. This guy hits
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the ball. That guy hits the ball. It just keeps
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: going back and forth. Oh, there's exciting moments, but then.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Uh, now the most exciting moment yesterday, uh, the player,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: she stops and starts yelling at a fan. Will you
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: stop smoking that weed? I don't want to get high.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: You know, you're living in a different world right now.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: You walk down the street, even right over there, 57th street,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: walk up the block. Luckily I have allergies. I can't
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: smell a thing, but everybody tells me the whole block
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: smells like weed everywhere you go, the smell of pot
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: in the air. So apparently, uh, It was all over
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the court at the U.S. Open, thanks to these people smoking. And, again,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: she's a top athlete, doesn't want to get high while
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: she's playing, stops to scream at the fans. And they
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: said they'll put it out. They'll stop. Let's take some calls.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how are you doing?
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Mark.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, Mike. We get excited here, or we get upset
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: when the summer's over. If you're in Florida, it's a
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: great time, right? Because now it's not 100 degrees.
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: I'm counting the days until it's below 90 degrees.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: See, they're happy when the summer's over. But what do
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: you want to say, Mike?
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: Well, two quick things. One, last night's event, I think,
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: you know, if we think of it in terms of
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: a convention, that's just a word.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: You know, it's really, it's a rally.
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: And you've mentioned it before. Getting Republicans out to vote
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: is the biggest problem. And I think that's why they're
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: doing it. You need to get them out to vote.
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: Forget about the other side. You know, they're going to
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: do what they're going to do. It's our side, the
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: Republican side, I should say. You know, they're lazy about
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: getting out to vote, good times or bad times. So
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: I think it was really more like a pep rally.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Than it is.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: All right, well, that's a good point.
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: I'm not going to call it that.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: People say it didn't really get seen anywhere except Fox,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: and they already have those. But you're right. It's to
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: get them out to vote. And the people in the
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: hall are the delegates. You need them to really go
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: work their ass off.
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: Exactly. They have to go back and pound the pavement,
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: as you said. You know, you've been on that forever
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: about that. Republicans low turnout to begin with. And the
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: other thing about these EPA, EPA, EPA files that Mamdani
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: is going to release or has released, I think they're
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: waiting till after the nine 11 events, obviously, because it's
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: a solemn occasion. And, and then, you know, and like
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: mid October, as it gets closer to midterms, they're going
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: to find the connection between Julia, you know, because Giuliani
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: is going to end up being the bad guy. You
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: know that even though they're all Democrats in power, you
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: know uh julia and they're going to connect that to
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: trump and blah blah you know you can see the
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: dominoes being lined up so they can knock over the
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: first one and make republicans yeah.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: But yeah remember just as much blame will go to
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the state uh it's george pataki just as much blame
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: will go to the federal government they're the epa and
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: the uh yes epa and commissioner at the time christy
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: todd women made that statement don't worry the air is
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: safe she's Since apologized, but that's going to haunt her
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: for the rest of her life.
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: But we shouldn't forget that there were many, you know,
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: all the senators from New York were Democrats. You know,
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: the governor, you know, Cuomo was a governor. Obama was president.
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: You know, so there's lots of, but, you know, they're
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: framing it so the Republicans are going to be the
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: bad guys. I can see it coming.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All right.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. I just think Mamdani wants to bring
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: down all of them. Giuliani. Bloomberg, all the establishment, Pataki.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: It just wants to destroy them all. So the crazy
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: socialists will, by comparison, they always suffer when compared to
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: these great establishment leaders. So he's trying to destroy them.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Let's go to David in Manhattan. David, how are you doing?
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Thank you very much, sir. I just wanted
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: to hear your opinion on President Trump saying how great
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: the neo-Nazi party in Germany was. It seems advance, musk,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: and Rubio have a soft spot for them, too.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Well, nobody has denounced Nazis, neo-Nazis, more than Donald Trump.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: You can check the record. Nobody's denounced him more than
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: he has.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he said that the party's going to make.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: This is like a Charlottesville all over again. Remember when
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: they doctored up the tape where he said, there's very
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: fine people on both sides. And that was it. They
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: cut out the next sentence where he says, I'm not
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: talking about the neo-Nazis. They're to be totally condemned. Nobody
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: has denounced Nazis, neo-Nazis, Nobody has denounced David Duke more
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: than Donald Trump. You can check the video, as they'd say.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: And nobody has fought, no president has ever, ever, ever
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: fought harder for Jews, for Israel, than Donald Trump. Let's
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: go to Joseph in Manhattan. Joseph, how are you doing?
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: Okay, Mark. Good morning to you. Mark, there was no
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: World Trade Center tower security. Remember Philippe Petit, the French president?
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: high-wire stunt, their little walker, his group was allowed to
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: get their equipment into the World Trade Center.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Towers, hook up the wires between the towers. Tremendous amount
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: of world trade security. You know, there were 25 cops
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: assigned to the perimeter. at all times back then. 25 cops.
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: But he got in!
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you're talking about an incident in, what, 1973?
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: And there were.
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: No security cameras on top of those two roof towers
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: showing them?
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: You're talking about an incident in 1973... One incident in
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: 40 years. That's a pretty good track record for the security.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: That's a very good track record.
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: It should have been stopped.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: That's why I always tell you, don't debate anybody. Don't
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: argue with anybody. There's nothing you can say to this guy.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: He'll just keep parroting this. He'll just keep repeating over
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: and over. He'll keep repeating the same comment. Again, if
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: you had one guy, and that was a harmless guy.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: It was just a stunt. But that was one incident
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: in 40, 50 years. It's not a bad track record.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of security in the World Trade
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Center that day. And there were 25 NYPD officers assigned
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: to patrol the perimeter of the World Trade Center. And
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: that's why terrorists, after carefully studying the thing, they plotted
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: this for a couple of years. That's why they realized
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: they'd have to do it from the air. That's the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: only way they could pull it off. So tomorrow, 9-11, very, very,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: very sad day. I don't like going through this every year.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: And remember, I've asked on the program a number of times,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: when does this stop? When do we stop reliving this? Well,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I checked with people in Hawaii. Apparently, they still do
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: it every Pearl Harbor anniversary. They still do a huge,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: solemn ceremony. It's a big deal in Hawaii. It's on
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: television all over the place in Hawaii. In fact, they'll
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: do it this December 7th. It'll be the first year
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: that there's not a single survivor left. It's 85 years later,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: but they'll do it. Do it this year. You know
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: that actually Japanese leaders fly in for that ceremony? They
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: offer apologies and all sorts of stuff, but they participate
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: in it. It's every year. So this 9-11 ceremony, I
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: guess if that's Pearl Harbor is the example, we'll be
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: doing this forever. Hey, we got a lot coming up.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: We got two more hours to go and a lot
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: to get to. You know, this is WOR with the
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: best lineup in talk. We have the biggest names in
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: talk radio. literally the most listened to talk show host
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: in the world. Buck and Clay coming up at noon.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: You know, they got up 10 million listeners. Did you
• 32:00
