Hour 1: Yankees won big! · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: This is 710WOR, where the Mark Simone Show starts now. Hey,
0:10
Speaker 1: it's Wednesday already. A big night for the Yankees. We'll
0:13
Speaker 1: get to that. We'll get to crazy, evil Jack Smith.
0:17
Speaker 1: We'll get to Cornell. We'll get to Mamdani. A lot
0:20
Speaker 1: of Mamdani news. We'll get to AI. You know, everybody's
0:24
Speaker 1: afraid of AI. They want regulation. They want this and
0:26
Speaker 1: this with the president. Had quite a gathering yesterday, pretty
0:31
Speaker 1: impressive group. All the tech leaders, all the big tech
0:37
Speaker 1: CEOs were all there around one big conference table. He
0:41
Speaker 1: had Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, and he had the
0:45
Speaker 1: chairman of Anthropic, chairman of Google, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Jeff Bezos.
0:52
Speaker 1: All these guys were there. You know how much brainpower?
0:55
Speaker 1: Forget the fact that there was probably a trillion dollars
0:58
Speaker 1: worth of wealth in that room and maybe more actually.
1:01
Speaker 1: But the average IQ in that room was like 180, 190.
1:06
Speaker 1: So they have come out with the answer what to
1:08
Speaker 1: do about AI. You don't want government regulation only because
1:12
Speaker 1: these 90-year-old congressmen, they have no idea what to do
1:16
Speaker 1: about AI. They don't even begin to understand how it works.
1:19
Speaker 1: Do you want Bernie Sanders to be running your AI
1:23
Speaker 1: for you? They have no clue. So they've come up
1:28
Speaker 1: with the answer. Oh, look what they've come up with.
1:34
Speaker 1: They're going to implement internal controls.
1:38
Speaker 2: Aha.
1:39
Speaker 1: Ooh, internal controls. Well, that's not all. They're going to
1:44
Speaker 1: implement an internal team. Ooh. And they're going to have monitoring.
1:51
Speaker 1: They're going to also have an independent external auditor. I
1:58
Speaker 1: don't know what this is going to do, but it
1:59
Speaker 1: sounds good. They are... Ooh, they're going to designate a committee. Ooh,
2:07
Speaker 1: a committee. Wow. Now, that'll take care of things. The
2:11
Speaker 1: committee will... Also, all the companies will meet regularly to
2:14
Speaker 1: establish standards and best practices. Over time, it will... Might
2:20
Speaker 1: make sense... Might make sense to codify some of these
2:23
Speaker 1: steps into laws or regulations. You already have these laws about...
2:27
Speaker 1: product liability and all that. So they're basically going to
2:30
Speaker 1: police themselves. You know, the truth is, if this AI,
2:34
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it is, is as powerful as everybody says,
2:37
Speaker 1: and it can take over everything and wipe us all out, well,
2:41
Speaker 1: then we had better be in control of it, not China.
2:46
Speaker 1: Nuclear weapons are nothing compared to this. So we better
2:49
Speaker 1: be the leader in this. And if we slow down
2:51
Speaker 1: or stop, China will get ahead of us and control AI.
2:54
Speaker 1: They are already recruiting more AI engineers than we are.
2:59
Speaker 1: But we've got to stay ahead on this. So that's
3:01
Speaker 1: the most important thing. President Trump, after the meeting.
3:04
Speaker 3: Well, I think I'm seeing tremendous self-policing. And they understand
3:08
Speaker 3: that they have to self-police. And it's very hard for
3:11
Speaker 3: somebody to come out and say, get into these models.
3:13
Speaker 4: These models are very complex.
3:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, if you wanted a guy to really do
3:18
Speaker 1: the right thing and police the whole thing, I think
3:20
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg is your guy. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
3:23
Speaker 5: Now.
3:24
Speaker 1: There's going to be an AI committee, a committee.
3:27
Speaker 3: We're also thinking about forming a committee of sorts where
3:30
Speaker 3: we put maybe 10 people on that committee. It could
3:33
Speaker 3: be from that group so that we can, so the
3:36
Speaker 3: committee can watch over the whole enterprise.
3:40
Speaker 1: Problem solved. I'm going to have a committee. Oh, well,
3:44
Speaker 1: what did he actually say? Wait a minute.
3:46
Speaker 4: We're also thinking about forming a committee.
3:48
Speaker 6: Oh, okay.
3:48
Speaker 1: So it's not exactly a committee. They're thinking of a committee,
3:52
Speaker 1: but they'll keep thinking about it.
3:54
Speaker 4: They're going to work to make the community happy.
3:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, they also got into data centers. The data centers
4:01
Speaker 1: are just big, huge buildings that bring a ton of
4:05
Speaker 1: money into a community and a lot of jobs. But
4:09
Speaker 1: the electricity problem they've solved, the water problem they've solved,
4:12
Speaker 1: they just make a lot of noise. They got these
4:14
Speaker 1: turbines that do the cooling work. that create not only noise,
4:17
Speaker 1: but a vibration and a hum. For about a half
4:19
Speaker 1: a mile away, it's pretty bad. You can faintly hear
4:22
Speaker 1: it a mile away, but it's in a half mile
4:24
Speaker 1: radius where it's pretty bad. But they'll figure out what
4:27
Speaker 1: to do about that.
4:28
Speaker 3: They're going to work to make the community happy. That
4:32
Speaker 3: might be supplying oil and gas. It might be supplying education.
4:37
Speaker 3: It may be helping teachers along financially, helping people along financially.
4:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have so much money. these data companies that
4:47
Speaker 1: that's what they'll do. They just pass it. I told
4:49
Speaker 1: you yesterday about this one place in Pennsylvania. They want
4:51
Speaker 1: to build one. The town's opposing it. They offered a
4:55
Speaker 1: $ 10, 000 check to everybody in town. They offered to donate
4:58
Speaker 1: a hundred million to police and fire and all that.
5:00
Speaker 1: And so they'll do stuff like that. Hey, they put
5:02
Speaker 1: an airport near you. It's noisier than the data center
5:07
Speaker 1: and more dangerous. And you don't see the airport running around,
5:10
Speaker 1: giving everybody checks or paying for the local police and
5:13
Speaker 1: all that. But so this is the key to the
5:16
Speaker 1: AI problem. Self-regulation.
5:18
Speaker 4: There's a belief that there should be tremendous self-regulation.
5:22
Speaker 3: And we automatically have regulation with the Department of Justice,
5:25
Speaker 3: the FBI, all of that.
5:27
Speaker 4: But the self-regulation is very important.
5:30
Speaker 6: Yeah.
5:30
Speaker 1: Now, here's the real problem. You got all of these guys.
5:34
Speaker 1: Why would these guys all of a sudden be interested
5:37
Speaker 1: in government regulation? These guys control AI right now. basically
5:41
Speaker 1: four companies that control AI. It's a cartel. They control it.
5:45
Speaker 1: They kind of like a lot of regulation because it
5:48
Speaker 1: creates a fence around this, a lot of red tape
5:51
Speaker 1: and bureaucracy, so no newcomer company can come in and
5:55
Speaker 1: compete with them. So once they've got it all controlled,
5:58
Speaker 1: they like to close the gate and no one else
6:00
Speaker 1: can get in. So that's the idea.
6:01
Speaker 7: This is one more example of why I will never
6:04
Speaker 7: stifle the growth of technology that will be bigger than
6:08
Speaker 7: The Industrial Revolution, this is why the SI superintelligence is,
6:14
Speaker 7: they're saying, bigger than the Industrial Revolution.
6:17
Speaker 1: Well, he's right about that. Again, if it's the most
6:21
Speaker 1: powerful thing in the world, if it could kill everybody,
6:24
Speaker 1: if it could control us, wipe us out, we have
6:26
Speaker 1: to be the leader, not China. So we do have
6:29
Speaker 1: to stay on top of it. Hey, awful, evil Jack Smith.
6:33
Speaker 1: This is the dirtiest prosecutor in the world, this Jack Smith. He's,
6:39
Speaker 1: as I say, they could have picked a special counsel.
6:42
Speaker 1: They needed a special counsel to go after Trump. 1,200
6:44
Speaker 1: people right in the D.C. area. Perfect for it. They
6:47
Speaker 1: went halfway around the world to bring this guy back
6:50
Speaker 1: because he's a known hitman. That's what he's been doing
6:52
Speaker 1: for years. He's a hitman. When you need to go
6:55
Speaker 1: after a Republican, you need a dirty prosecutor to go
6:58
Speaker 1: after Republicans. Jack Smith is your guy. He's done it
7:01
Speaker 1: for years a number of times. And by the way,
7:03
Speaker 1: in each case... When it finally got to a very
7:06
Speaker 1: high court, they overturned everything he did. Good example is
7:09
Speaker 1: when he went after Republican Governor Virginia McDonald. He got
7:13
Speaker 1: him on 12 things, got him indicted, convicted. Finally went
7:16
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court where they ruled that everything he
7:19
Speaker 1: was charged with was just crummy political nonsense. And they
7:23
Speaker 1: dropped everything and they reprimanded Jack Smith. So that's his history.
7:27
Speaker 1: Hit man when you need to go after a Republican.
7:30
Speaker 1: But his history is also, is he always gets caught
7:32
Speaker 1: in the end and exposed. So... If you haven't seen it,
7:38
Speaker 1: go watch the video of Jack Smith on the stand.
7:41
Speaker 1: You could see he's a real gangster. First of all,
7:44
Speaker 1: he's like a bug-eyed weirdo, but a real scary-looking gangster
7:49
Speaker 1: type of a guy. So he made an opening statement where,
7:54
Speaker 1: if you look at his history, he's only gone after Republicans.
7:56
Speaker 1: If you look at what he did here with Trump,
7:59
Speaker 1: with the documents, all he did was go after Trump,
8:03
Speaker 1: every Trump donor. every organization that supported Trump, he went
8:07
Speaker 1: after them. Charlie Kirk's organization, Turning Point, he went after them.
8:12
Speaker 1: He went after donors. It was obviously just to frighten everybody,
8:16
Speaker 1: terrorize everybody, trying to stop Trump. Now, when it comes
8:20
Speaker 1: to classified documents, Trump had the fewest of any president
8:24
Speaker 1: in the history of the world. In the end, he
8:25
Speaker 1: only had 35. Joe Biden had 8,000. So if you're
8:29
Speaker 1: investigating this stuff, why would you go after Trump and
8:33
Speaker 1: not the guy that had literally 2,000, 3,000 times as
8:36
Speaker 1: many documents? But he made this opening statement saying he's
8:39
Speaker 1: totally neutral, he's not partisan.
8:41
Speaker 5: I stand by my decisions as special counsel, including my
8:45
Speaker 5: decision to bring charges against President Trump. I made those
8:49
Speaker 5: decisions without regard to President Trump's political association, activities, beliefs,
8:56
Speaker 5: or candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.
9:00
Speaker 1: Again, it was strictly Trump hatred. We had the dirtiest
9:03
Speaker 1: attorney general ever, Merrick Garland, who they got to get
9:07
Speaker 1: to him under oath too. But why, when you got
9:10
Speaker 1: 1,200 special counsels in D.C., why did he go halfway
9:13
Speaker 1: around the world to bring in this gangster? But Smith,
9:18
Speaker 1: with a straight face, said all this nonsense.
9:20
Speaker 5: The status, power, prominence, or political affiliation of the subject
9:26
Speaker 5: of an investigation is must play no role in the
9:29
Speaker 5: decision to investigate, prosecute, or decline to prosecute.
9:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, right. But again, the guys with a thousand times
9:38
Speaker 1: more classified documents never went after them.
9:40
Speaker 2: Never.
9:40
Speaker 1: Never went after them. And then we got that Senator Kennedy.
9:46
Speaker 1: He jumps in there.
9:47
Speaker 8: When you went to Judge Boasberg, you didn't even tell
9:51
Speaker 8: him you were seeking the phone records. of members of Congress,
9:55
Speaker 8: did you? Because you knew he wouldn't agree. He would say, hey, counselor,
10:01
Speaker 8: anybody who knows a law book from a J.Crew catalog
10:04
Speaker 8: knows that this violates the Constitution. But you didn't tell him,
10:08
Speaker 8: did you?
10:10
Speaker 1: That came out. It was a long hearing yesterday, but
10:12
Speaker 1: a lot of really dirty stuff about Jack Smith came out,
10:16
Speaker 1: the things he did. The things he covered up. Kennedy
10:19
Speaker 1: was great.
10:20
Speaker 5: We sought nondisclosure orders from the court.
10:22
Speaker 1: You didn't tell him, did you?
10:24
Speaker 5: In seeking nondisclosure orders, we did not disclose.
10:27
Speaker 8: You didn't tell him, but you're unbiased. You have no
10:32
Speaker 8: personal feelings. You make me want to throw up in
10:38
Speaker 8: my mouth.
10:40
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, Ted Cruz was good.
10:43
Speaker 9: You can sigh all you like. It's a very simple question.
10:45
Speaker 9: You know damn well you did. You've been questioned about
10:48
Speaker 9: the checks that you guys got. You know the answer.
10:52
Speaker 9: So why don't you answer the question? Did your team
10:56
Speaker 9: obtain donor and fundraising information?
10:59
Speaker 1: It's a yes. You can say yes.
11:02
Speaker 5: I do not recall the attachments to specific subpoenas.
11:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a lot of that. I do not recall. Yeah,
11:11
Speaker 1: he's very the creepiest guy ever. This Jack Smith. Anyway,
11:16
Speaker 1: we'll get back to him. Hey, Iran has put out
11:21
Speaker 1: a propaganda letter. They do these all the time, but
11:24
Speaker 1: this is a 25-page letter. It's addressed to the American people.
11:29
Speaker 1: We all got a letter from Iran. It's urging everybody
11:32
Speaker 1: to oppose President Trump in the midterm elections. The IRGC
11:37
Speaker 1: is trying to sway the November 3rd elections. They openly
11:40
Speaker 1: admit it. They said this is the purpose of the letter.
11:43
Speaker 1: They want you to vote against Republicans, vote against Trump.
11:45
Speaker 1: They want to get Democrats in. because Democrats are generally
11:48
Speaker 1: nice to them. Democrats pay the money, make an agreement,
11:52
Speaker 1: here's some more money. So they want Democrats in. Now,
11:57
Speaker 1: a lot of people who would know this kind of
11:59
Speaker 1: stuff think they're on the verge. They're right on the
12:01
Speaker 1: brink of total collapse in Iran. Scott Besson thinks they've
12:06
Speaker 1: got a couple of weeks. General Petraeus reporting they're right
12:09
Speaker 1: on the brink and they only got a few weeks.
12:11
Speaker 1: And one of the problems now for them, the Strait
12:14
Speaker 1: of Hormuz, that's their leverage, keeping it closed. Well, apparently
12:18
Speaker 1: it's open. And we've developed so many other routes to
12:22
Speaker 1: bring the oil out that pre-war, it was averaging about
12:28
Speaker 1: 18 million barrels a day coming out of there. Well,
12:31
Speaker 1: we got it up some days to 17 million. They
12:34
Speaker 1: think now the average conservative estimate, 13 million barrels a day.
12:39
Speaker 1: So it's at 72% of normal output. Also, they've started
12:45
Speaker 1: using other routes, other pipelines. For instance, the East-West Pipeline,
12:49
Speaker 1: the Saudis started using that. That's doing 7 million barrels
12:53
Speaker 1: a day. So with the Strait of Hormuz closed, now
12:56
Speaker 1: listen to this number. With the Strait of Hormuz closed,
13:00
Speaker 1: we've gotten a billion barrels of oil out in the
13:04
Speaker 1: last few months. One billion barrels have come out. That's
13:10
Speaker 1: why oil has dropped down. Remember, oil had hit 105.
13:13
Speaker 1: It's now 90. It's coming down. But we're averaging about
13:17
Speaker 1: 13 million barrels a day. There was one day we
13:20
Speaker 1: got 17 million barrels out of the Strait of Homeless,
13:24
Speaker 1: which is pretty much what it was before the conflict.
13:28
Speaker 1: And it's getting better and better all the time. So, hey,
13:32
Speaker 1: that fight with Canada, the tariffs, all of that, well,
13:37
Speaker 1: It's getting ugly, and the U.S. has now banned some
13:41
Speaker 1: Canadian imports. Yeah, it sounds serious. They've banned certain things
13:46
Speaker 1: that are not allowed in. They're banned from Canada.
13:50
Speaker 4: Beer.
13:51
Speaker 1: Is there a Canadian beer anybody likes? I don't think so.
13:57
Speaker 1: Canadian beer? I can't even think of one. Canadian wine.
14:01
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody that's ever been in a restaurant
14:04
Speaker 1: and said, what kind of Canadian wine do you have?
14:07
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's ever said that. Cider. Great. I
14:12
Speaker 1: could live without cider. Canadian whiskey. Well, that was big
14:17
Speaker 1: during Prohibition. But since then, I don't think we need
14:20
Speaker 1: Canadian rum, Canadian gin, Canadian vodka. You see, vodka is
14:24
Speaker 1: supposed to be European. It's supposed to be Russian. It's
14:27
Speaker 1: not supposed to be Canadian. Toronto vodka doesn't sound great.
14:32
Speaker 1: Canadian Brandy. Again, this doesn't sound good. Canadian Liqueur. I
14:38
Speaker 1: think we'll survive. I think we'll survive this band. Yankees, big, big,
14:42
Speaker 1: big night last night. First game of the wild card.
14:45
Speaker 1: If they win tonight, they've clinched the wild card and
14:48
Speaker 1: they move on. So I wasn't crazy about the announcing.
14:53
Speaker 1: You need an announcer who gets excited, you know, like
14:55
Speaker 1: a John Sterling, like a Phil Rizzuto, like a Mel Allen.
15:00
Speaker 1: But this was an amazing moment. Bases loaded. That guy
15:04
Speaker 1: comes up and hits a grand slam. Incredible moment. He
15:10
Speaker 1: hammers this ball. Right center field. It is a slam! Again,
15:21
Speaker 1: not enough. John Sterling would be yelling and screaming. Rizzuto
15:24
Speaker 1: would be giving that. Holy cow! And a slam? You're
15:29
Speaker 1: too lazy to say grand slam? It's a slam? So
15:33
Speaker 1: that was Rice.
15:34
Speaker 2: What a night for Ben Rice.
15:35
Speaker 1: Six RBIs, four hits tonight, two homers, a single, and
15:39
Speaker 1: a double. And he just put this game out of reach.
15:43
Speaker 1: You're supposed to yell. You're supposed to get excited. But
15:47
Speaker 1: it was quite a night. Yankees play again tonight. If
15:49
Speaker 1: they win tonight, they move on. They're going to have
15:52
Speaker 1: to do all this without Aaron Judge, but so far
15:54
Speaker 1: they've been great. Hey, we'll get to Mamdani throughout the program.
15:58
Speaker 1: The Pieta tear-tacks. is, well, the people fighting this Pietro
16:04
Speaker 1: Terra tax won a huge victory, huge victory. Now, they
16:08
Speaker 1: took it to court in Staten Island, which tends to
16:11
Speaker 1: be conservative anti-Mamdani, so that was the right place. Now,
16:15
Speaker 1: Mamdani and company will try to get it moved to
16:18
Speaker 1: friendlier courts, but the court ruled, now they didn't rule
16:22
Speaker 1: against the tax, they just ruled that the way Mamdani
16:24
Speaker 1: went about it, the rollout, was absolutely wrong, terrible, disgusting.
16:30
Speaker 1: We'll get into it. We'll give you all the details
16:32
Speaker 1: on this, but it's temporarily blocked. Although Mamdani has appealed
16:36
Speaker 1: it immediately. And the good news is a lot of
16:39
Speaker 1: billionaires are jumping in on this fight. It used to
16:41
Speaker 1: be a lot of these homeowners and Randy Master, who's
16:44
Speaker 1: a great attorney, former deputy mayor for several administrations, top,
16:49
Speaker 1: top guy. He's the one filing the lawsuit, but other
16:52
Speaker 1: people are jumping in now. Steve Wynn. Yeah. Look, Las
16:57
Speaker 1: Vegas Steve Wynn, he lives in Palm Beach now, but
17:01
Speaker 1: he has a huge pied-a-terre in New York City, and
17:05
Speaker 1: he got his pied-a-terre tax bill, $ 183, 000. He's fighting this.
17:10
Speaker 1: Wilbur Ross, the former Commerce Secretary, has got a place
17:15
Speaker 1: in Southampton, and so he filed it there. Same thing
17:19
Speaker 1: with Wynn. They got places in New York City, but
17:22
Speaker 1: they filed in Southampton, thinking it's a friendlier court to them. Anyway,
17:25
Speaker 1: we'll get back to this. We've got a lot to
17:27
Speaker 1: get to today. It's Mark Simone here, 9 to noon.
17:31
Speaker 1: That's right. It's three hours now. We start at 9 now.
17:33
Speaker 1: 9 to noon every day here on 710WOR. Mark Simone
17:40
Speaker 1: on 710WOR. Well, here's a good story in the news. Now,
17:45
Speaker 1: this guy is a Trump hater, a huge, huge Trump hater,
17:50
Speaker 1: real Trump derangement syndrome. He's a professor at NYU. He's
17:55
Speaker 1: a podcaster. Well, who isn't? He's a NYU professor, hates Trump,
18:00
Speaker 1: a podcaster. And he admitted that, you know, a lot
18:05
Speaker 1: of these professors make a lot of money. You know,
18:07
Speaker 1: you think they're underpaid. Professors make a lot of money nowadays.
18:12
Speaker 1: And they can work at several colleges at the same time.
18:15
Speaker 1: And it's not, you know, 80,000 a year for a professor.
18:17
Speaker 1: It's like 350, 400,000 a year. And some of them
18:21
Speaker 1: work in two or three universities. So, Trump gets elected 2016.
18:25
Speaker 1: He hates Trump so much that he sells all his stock.
18:29
Speaker 1: He had a lot of stock. He sells his stock. Well,
18:35
Speaker 1: as you know, under Trump, the stock market has boomed.
18:40
Speaker 1: And when Trump came back in 24, the stock market
18:44
Speaker 1: really took off. It's broken 80 records in just the
18:48
Speaker 1: last year and a half. So this guy, this Trump hater, podcaster, professor,
18:53
Speaker 1: has admitted it cost him half of his net worth.
18:57
Speaker 1: Lost half his net worth. You'd say, well, why'd you
19:00
Speaker 1: just buy back? Well, because when it soars like that,
19:03
Speaker 1: now it's overpriced. You can't buy back in as easily. Hey,
19:07
Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul has a ton of money, record-breaking amount of
19:10
Speaker 1: campaign cash. It's the final stretch of the campaign. Midterms,
19:15
Speaker 1: the governor election here in New York, that's 34 days away.
19:19
Speaker 1: It's basically one month left. Hochul raised another $ 8. 5 million.
19:26
Speaker 1: She spent a ton of money, yet she still has
19:29
Speaker 1: $ 33 million in cash on hand. $ 33 million is a
19:34
Speaker 1: stunning amount for a gubernatorial candidate. That's a lot of money.
19:40
Speaker 1: $ 33 million in cash to spend. So she can easily
19:42
Speaker 1: spend a million dollars a day now. And you see,
19:45
Speaker 1: she's got these ads all over the place attacking Blakeman. Nice.
19:50
Speaker 1: attack ads on Blakeman. Take that as a compliment. That
19:54
Speaker 1: means she's looked at her internal polling and she's in
19:57
Speaker 1: trouble or it's close. That's why she's spending all that
20:00
Speaker 1: cash right now. And take it as a real compliment
20:04
Speaker 1: to Bruce Blakeman. They have done opposition research on him
20:09
Speaker 1: like you wouldn't believe. They have investigated everything about Bruce Blakeman.
20:15
Speaker 1: And what did they come up with? Nothing. Nothing. They
20:20
Speaker 1: couldn't find anything. So all the attack ads are about
20:24
Speaker 1: how he's a friend of Trump's, how he likes Trump,
20:26
Speaker 1: how he's a longtime friend of Donald Trump's. That's all
20:29
Speaker 1: they got on the guy. That's the only thing they
20:32
Speaker 1: could find. So it's quite a compliment to Blakeman. Hey,
20:37
Speaker 1: Larry Ellison, he's one of these not just billionaires, but
20:41
Speaker 1: a guy worth like $ 200 billion. So a lot of
20:45
Speaker 1: these guys move into Florida. Larry, they just want to
20:47
Speaker 1: get the hell out of California because it's a disaster there.
20:51
Speaker 1: So he moved to Manalapan. That's just below Palm Beach.
20:55
Speaker 1: Manalapan became the very, very hot area real estate-wise. In fact,
21:01
Speaker 1: Trump was quietly advising people about two, three years ago,
21:04
Speaker 1: buy Manalapan. It's going to go nuts. It's right. You'd
21:08
Speaker 1: think it's Palm Beach. It's just next to Palm Beach,
21:11
Speaker 1: just below Palm Beach. There's that Ritz Carlton that was
21:15
Speaker 1: there for years. It's now becoming a Nobu Hotel. But
21:18
Speaker 1: Manalapan's a hot area. So Larry Ellison bought a house there.
21:22
Speaker 1: $ 173 million for a house in Florida. $ 173 million in
21:27
Speaker 1: Florida for a house. Remember when a house used to
21:30
Speaker 1: cost Nothing in Florida. Now it's 173 million. And that's Manalapan.
21:36
Speaker 1: That's not Bombay. So he bought this big house. Now
21:38
Speaker 1: he's got a big staff in his house, big household staff.
21:42
Speaker 1: But the problem is when you have a big household
21:46
Speaker 1: staff and the area becomes really expensive, the staff, the maids,
21:50
Speaker 1: the cooks, they can't afford to live in the area.
21:53
Speaker 1: So Ellison just went and bought them all houses near him.
21:57
Speaker 1: Eight homes. Eight smaller homes. In gated communities, he paid
22:02
Speaker 1: $ 10 million for it so the staff can live within
22:06
Speaker 1: 20 minutes of his house. So his household staff gets
22:10
Speaker 1: houses from him. His house is 15 acres. It's pretty impressive, actually.
22:18
Speaker 1: We'll get back to Jack Smith, dirty Jack Smith getting
22:20
Speaker 1: caught on all kinds of stuff. Michigan Democrat, the crazy
22:27
Speaker 1: Democrat in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed. He was on the Chuck
22:33
Speaker 1: Todd podcast. See, I'm telling you, everybody has a podcast.
22:37
Speaker 1: Every fired idiot. Now, this is like the Tucker Carlson,
22:41
Speaker 1: Megyn Kelly type podcast where Chuck Todd, same thing. They're
22:45
Speaker 1: out of work. Nobody will hire him. So they're doing
22:47
Speaker 1: it in their pajamas from home. The Chuck Todd podcast.
22:53
Speaker 1: I'm telling you about it because nobody's watched it. Nobody's
22:55
Speaker 1: seen it. But he's got El Sayad on it. And
22:58
Speaker 1: Syed said he wants to go on Bill Maher's show
23:00
Speaker 1: and whoop his ass. All right. I think Bill Maher
23:04
Speaker 1: can handle Abdul El-Syed. And it's not a great sign
23:11
Speaker 1: when you have nothing else to do but the Chuck
23:14
Speaker 1: Todd podcast. That's not a good sign. Not a good
23:17
Speaker 1: sign at all. Hey, remember the Dolly Parton song, 9
23:20
Speaker 1: to 5? Great hit back then. You listen to it now,
23:22
Speaker 1: you realize how brilliant this song was. Cup of Ambition.
23:25
Speaker 4: So.
23:26
Speaker 1: Dolly Parton wrote that and she always thought about that line.
23:29
Speaker 1: It's a great line. Pour me a cup of ambition.
23:32
Speaker 1: And she thought about coming up with her own coffee.
23:34
Speaker 10: When I was filming 9 to 5, I wrote a
23:36
Speaker 10: song called 9 to 5. And it started out by saying,
23:39
Speaker 10: pour myself a cup of ambition. But I thought the
23:42
Speaker 10: cup of ambition would be a fantastic name for a
23:45
Speaker 10: coffee brand. And I've been working towards this for over
23:48
Speaker 10: 40 years. And I think you won't be able to
23:50
Speaker 10: find a better cup of coffee out there.
23:53
Speaker 11: And shoot, who couldn't.
23:54
Speaker 10: Use some more ambition?
23:59
Speaker 1: It seems everybody has a podcast and almost everybody has
24:02
Speaker 1: a coffee brand they put out. Companies have their own
24:04
Speaker 1: coffee brand. Hotels have their own coffee brand. Certain celebrities
24:09
Speaker 1: have their own coffee brand. Now, how do you do that?
24:12
Speaker 1: There's coffee companies that just make generic coffee. And you
24:16
Speaker 1: go to one of these companies, you tell it what
24:17
Speaker 1: you want. I want this kind of flavor, this kind
24:20
Speaker 1: of coffee. And they make it for you. And you
24:23
Speaker 1: just get a designer to design some logos and you
24:25
Speaker 1: put it on there. So, They're not actually making coffee.
24:28
Speaker 1: They've got a company to make it for them. So
24:30
Speaker 1: all those different people that have their own coffee, it's
24:33
Speaker 1: basically all from the same company anyway. Hey, we've got
24:36
Speaker 1: a lot to get to. We'll take some calls a
24:37
Speaker 1: little later on. It's Mark Simone here, 9 to noon
24:41
Speaker 1: every day. We're three hours now, 9 to noon, 710WOR.
24:45
Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show. Live from the WOR LifeVac studios. Hey,
24:53
Speaker 1: we'll take some calls, 800-321-7000. 0710 is the number. 800-321-0710.
25:04
Speaker 1: It's fall. It's officially autumn. You go into a store,
25:10
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Halloween stuff for sale. On the
25:14
Speaker 1: news today, they're talking about the Rockefeller Center tree already.
25:17
Speaker 1: They've announced the date, November 7th. It's like a month away.
25:22
Speaker 1: They've already announced the date. The tree is coming November
25:25
Speaker 1: 7th and then December, whatever it is, 8th. They'll light
25:29
Speaker 1: it up. Anyway, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
25:35
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike in Florida. Let's see if the
25:37
Speaker 1: phone works. Mike? No, it's not working. Still can't do it.
25:42
Speaker 1: Did you do it?
25:43
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
25:43
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, go ahead, Mike.
25:46
Speaker 2: Morning, Mark. I'm so happy you mentioned the announcing from
25:49
Speaker 2: last night's Yankee game.
25:52
Speaker 1: It was so bad.
25:53
Speaker 2: And not only was it dull, but I don't remember
25:57
Speaker 2: Frank Messer or Bill White talking about the angle of
26:01
Speaker 2: inflection of the batter's swing, you know, for nine innings
26:05
Speaker 2: back in the day. And that's something else that I
26:08
Speaker 2: like to point out to people who don't pay attention.
26:11
Speaker 2: The way it's directed, it's one close-up shot of the pitcher,
26:14
Speaker 2: close-up shot of the batter, lots of quick takes, and
26:17
Speaker 2: you never see the field. You never see any action.
26:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. You're right.
26:22
Speaker 2: It's horrible. They shoot like a bad music video.
26:25
Speaker 1: So who are these announcers? Are they the TV announcers?
26:28
Speaker 1: The NBC?
26:28
Speaker 2: They must be the network announcers, so they have to
26:30
Speaker 2: be impartial. It's not Michael Kay and Paul O'Neill or
26:35
Speaker 2: somebody like that.
26:37
Speaker 1: And who was the greatest Yankee announcer ever?
26:41
Speaker 2: Well, I like Rizzuto and White. I like Frank Messer.
26:45
Speaker 2: He was considered dull at the time, but I like
26:47
Speaker 2: him because he just did the game. No histrionics. I
26:53
Speaker 2: like him. I mean, I remember Mel Allen and Red
26:56
Speaker 2: Barber and Jerry Coleman back in the day. They were
26:59
Speaker 2: very exciting. And they would do it, and I was
27:02
Speaker 2: watching a game. It was like a World Series game,
27:04
Speaker 2: and Rizzuto was doing it by himself. He didn't even
27:07
Speaker 2: have anybody. He did nine innings by himself back when
27:10
Speaker 2: he was first starting out.
27:12
Speaker 1: Rizzuto was great. All right, thanks for calling, Mike. I
27:15
Speaker 1: know Rizzuto was phenomenal. But he'd yell. You've got to yell.
27:19
Speaker 1: You've got to go, holy cow. You've got to scream.
27:21
Speaker 1: Mel Allen would scream. John Sterling would be screaming. You
27:25
Speaker 1: can't just go, well, that looks like a home run.
27:28
Speaker 1: And it's a grand slam. That's the biggest thing there is,
27:31
Speaker 1: a grand slam. Listen to this guy. He can't even
27:33
Speaker 1: say grand slam. He has to abbreviate it. He hammers
27:38
Speaker 1: this ball right center field. It is a slam. It's
27:48
Speaker 1: a slam? What is that? It's a grand slam. It
27:51
Speaker 1: was a slam. Anyway, let's go to Anthony in the Bronx. Anthony,
27:55
Speaker 1: how you doing? Hey, Mark.
27:58
Speaker 2: Go Buchanan.
27:59
Speaker 1: Oh, it's the Go Buchanan guy. So, all right. Thanks
28:02
Speaker 1: for calling. Yeah, I can't. I don't know. The buttons
28:05
Speaker 1: still don't work here. Yeah. Still dead on the phone.
28:09
Speaker 1: All right. Let's try. Let's go to Mike in Brooklyn. Mike,
28:12
Speaker 1: how you doing?
28:14
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Mark.
28:15
Speaker 1: How's everything? Good.
28:17
Speaker 6: With the Yankees, actually, Michael K was on the ESPN radio.
28:21
Speaker 6: His call was much better than all of the TV commentators.
28:25
Speaker 4: Yeah.
28:26
Speaker 6: And then... And then also the second thing, Mark, that
28:29
Speaker 6: you see the news this morning about that attempted airline
28:32
Speaker 6: hijacking from Dubai to Tel Aviv.
28:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks more like a terrorist attack than a
28:37
Speaker 1: simple hijacking. It looks like a terrorist attack where they
28:40
Speaker 1: got somebody on a plane, a terrorist, who tried to
28:42
Speaker 1: stab the pilot. Frightening, frightening situation. Amazing that they got
28:47
Speaker 1: that plane down. But thanks for calling. Yeah. The game
28:53
Speaker 1: is NBC, right? Yeah, NBC. Channel 4 had the game.
28:56
Speaker 1: NBC Network. What happened to Bob Costas? Get Bob Costas back.
29:00
Speaker 1: I don't think he's with NBC anymore. And he went
29:03
Speaker 1: a little crazy with the Trump derangement syndrome. I think
29:06
Speaker 1: that was the problem. Didn't he get a little too
29:07
Speaker 1: political on football? One of those telecasts, he got way
29:12
Speaker 1: too political. And even NBC got nervous with him on
29:16
Speaker 1: the air. So they don't make announcers like that anymore.
29:22
Speaker 1: Most of the greats, the real greats, were ex-players like Rizzuto.
29:26
Speaker 1: But there were many that weren't ex-players, Michael Kay and
29:28
Speaker 1: John Sterling. They were just great announcers. So you need
29:31
Speaker 1: more of that. Anyway, let's go to uh rich on
29:34
Speaker 1: his car phone rich how you doing hey mark hey.
29:39
Speaker 2: Rich uh real quick question because i've seen the loose
29:44
Speaker 2: lost track of it uh what's what's going on with
29:47
Speaker 2: fauci you don't hear a word about him.
29:49
Speaker 1: Well, Fauci's in hiding because he's in all kinds of
29:53
Speaker 1: legal jeopardy. He's been caught lying and all kinds of crap.
29:57
Speaker 1: He's been caught profiteering like crazy off the pandemic. They've
30:01
Speaker 1: gone after him a little, and he is in hiding.
30:05
Speaker 1: He's really, really, really worried about prosecution. He's got to
30:10
Speaker 1: get through— well, if the Democrats win Congress— in November. That
30:18
Speaker 1: could help him. That would stop the hearings. But there's
30:21
Speaker 1: going to be criminal referrals against Fauci. Really, really, really
30:25
Speaker 1: bad guy. And besides the lying and the crap that
30:28
Speaker 1: he pulled in the profiteering, just getting stuff wrong. It's
30:32
Speaker 1: amazing how much stuff he got wrong. And now people
30:35
Speaker 1: looking at his history, he did the same thing in
30:37
Speaker 1: the AIDS pandemic. He just got a lot of stuff
30:39
Speaker 1: wrong all the time. Hey, P. Diddy, Sean Puffy Diddy Doody,
30:45
Speaker 1: whatever the hell his name is this week. You know,
30:48
Speaker 1: he's in prison. He's in Fort Dix. There's a prison there. Apparently,
30:54
Speaker 1: he is living very well. He is living quite a life.
30:58
Speaker 1: They take care of him in prison. The guards, everything.
31:01
Speaker 1: He's got a phone. He's making all the calls he wants.
31:04
Speaker 1: He's got porn. He's got booze. He's got a tablet
31:08
Speaker 1: and a Netflix account he can watch. And you remember
31:12
Speaker 1: the scene in Goodfellas where they're eating lobsters and steaks
31:14
Speaker 1: and the guards are bringing them bottles of wine. And
31:17
Speaker 1: apparently that's the case here. Prison. Remember Wolf of Wall
31:22
Speaker 1: Street where he goes to prison and he was so
31:25
Speaker 1: afraid of prison. And then the Wolf of Wall Street,
31:27
Speaker 1: he said, hey, when I got there, I realized it's
31:30
Speaker 1: a place where you can buy anything you need. If
31:33
Speaker 1: you got money, you can buy everything. So he's just
31:36
Speaker 1: bribing the guards, bribing everybody. And just like in Goodfellas.
31:40
Speaker 1: eating steak and lobster every night and having a great time.
31:43
Speaker 1: So Diddy's serving 50 months, although there's a push now
31:48
Speaker 1: for him to get out a little earlier. We'll see. Hey, Cornell,
31:55
Speaker 1: the rape allegations, they have so mishandled all of this
31:59
Speaker 1: that the people that were applying, students that were applying,
32:02
Speaker 1: parents that were, you know, like crazy, dropping their applications.
32:10
Speaker 1: They want nothing to do with Cornell. They find the
32:13
Speaker 1: handling of these rape accusations to cover up all this
32:16
Speaker 1: stuff absolutely disgusting. They say hundreds of people have dropped
32:21
Speaker 1: their applications to Cornell. Let's take one more call. Let's
32:25
Speaker 1: go to Myrna Williamsburg. Myrna, how you doing?
32:29
Speaker 11: Oh, I'm so excited. Hello, and God bless you. Oh, Myrna.
32:34
Speaker 11: I have tried to reach you for about three weeks,
32:36
Speaker 11: and you guys are so busy. I just wanted to
32:39
Speaker 11: be able to say how excited and happy I am
32:42
Speaker 11: to know you're back on the air, and you've been
32:44
Speaker 11: on the air, but I've been unaware of it. I
32:46
Speaker 11: used to listen to you, correct me if I'm mistaken,
32:48
Speaker 11: on WNEW. Yes. You used to do Sinatra.
32:52
Speaker 2: Yes.
32:53
Speaker 11: About 30, 40 years ago.
32:54
Speaker 1: Well, where have you been for the last few years?
32:57
Speaker 11: I've been around, sir. I didn't know how successful you
33:00
Speaker 11: had become.
33:00
Speaker 1: Well, why'd you stop listening?
33:03
Speaker 11: And because, you know, I'm a senior now and I
33:07
Speaker 11: got involved in other senior things.
33:09
Speaker 1: Well, aside from Mahjong and pickleball, well, you could have
33:13
Speaker 1: had time to listen.
33:14
Speaker 11: Well, now I've been listening to you regularly. OK, and
33:18
Speaker 11: I'm just so happy I got through today. And my
33:21
Speaker 11: next question, no, my comment is, why can't you be
33:23
Speaker 11: the baseball announcer? I would think you'd be great. Is
33:26
Speaker 11: it too late for you?
33:28
Speaker 1: I can't even watch an old game. I'm going to
33:30
Speaker 1: announce an old game. I don't know. You've got to
33:32
Speaker 1: know all kinds of stuff. I don't know who all
33:34
Speaker 1: these players are. You've got to.
33:36
Speaker 4: Know a lot.
33:37
Speaker 11: I think I've seen you. Excuse me, because I know
33:39
Speaker 11: you have time to have to get rid of me.
33:41
Speaker 11: But what about, don't you do PBS or one of
33:43
Speaker 11: the old songs?
33:44
Speaker 1: Well, I did a lot of PBS shows for years.
33:47
Speaker 1: They don't really do those things anymore. They have budget
33:49
Speaker 1: cuts over there. They don't. But Myrna, we're glad you're back.
33:56
Speaker 1: Call us again. Keep listening. Glad you're back. It's Mark
