Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Much more Mark.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Mark Simone.
- 0:04Speaker 3: On 710WOR. Thank you, Shadow Stevens. Well, we got a
- 0:09Speaker 3: lot to get to. It's hour number two. In case
- 0:12Speaker 3: there's anybody who doesn't know, we start at nine o'clock now.
- 0:15Speaker 3: It's three hours, nine to noon every day. Now, CNN, MSNBC, boy,
- 0:22Speaker 3: especially MSNBC, they are always caught. with fake stories, fake news.
- 0:28Speaker 3: You know, whenever you say that, people go, give me
- 0:31Speaker 3: one example. Almost every week there's a fake story that
- 0:35Speaker 3: they put out. It just happened. It happened this week. MSNBC,
- 0:40Speaker 3: whatever the hell they call it, broke a big story
- 0:44Speaker 3: about Kash Patel's secret trip to Russia. They reported that
- 0:50Speaker 3: Kash Patel, FBI director, landed in Moscow on for a
- 0:55Speaker 3: mysterious trip to Russia. Wow. Now, the NBC reporter, Ken Delanian,
- 1:05Speaker 3: excuse me, he's not NBC, MSNOW reporter, MSNOW reporter. NBC
- 1:09Speaker 3: has nothing to do with this network anymore. They threw
- 1:12Speaker 3: him out of the company and they threw him out
- 1:13Speaker 3: of the building. MSNOW reporter, breathlessly reporting on this secret
- 1:19Speaker 3: trip that Kash Patel made to Russia. Why is he
- 1:23Speaker 3: in Moscow? The on-air report cited two people familiar with
- 1:28Speaker 3: the story. They do this all the time. You know,
- 1:31Speaker 3: we have two sources on this. They always do that
- 1:35Speaker 3: to make it sound like it's definite. You know, if
- 1:37Speaker 3: I told you I got a source that told me that, well,
- 1:40Speaker 3: I have three sources. Well, now it sounds totally correct. Well,
- 1:44Speaker 3: if he's got three sources, it must be. They never
- 1:46Speaker 3: tell you who these sources are. And this is the
- 1:49Speaker 3: other phrase they use. They cited... Two people familiar with
- 1:53Speaker 3: the matter. What the hell does that mean, familiar with
- 1:56Speaker 3: the matter? Everybody's familiar with the matter. If I had
- 2:00Speaker 3: somebody talking about Cornell who's familiar with the matter. Well,
- 2:05Speaker 3: I'm familiar with the matter, but I don't know anything
- 2:07Speaker 3: on the inside. Everybody's familiar with it. So here's the
- 2:12Speaker 3: real deal. Kash Patel was never in Russia. It never happened.
- 2:17Speaker 3: It's a totally fake story. The guy's the FBI director.
- 2:21Speaker 3: You don't think there'd be a record of where he
- 2:23Speaker 3: is every second. He was never in Russia. He never
- 2:27Speaker 3: went to Moscow. It never happened. In fact, on the
- 2:29Speaker 3: day that they claim it happened, he was visiting Liberty
- 2:33Speaker 3: University in Virginia. It's just a total ridiculous fake story.
- 2:39Speaker 3: That's MS Now. They had multiple sources on this, and
- 2:43Speaker 3: they had two people familiar with the matter. It was
- 2:46Speaker 3: never there. I can give you a million examples of these.
- 2:49Speaker 3: Rachel Maddow's been caught in so many fake stories. They
- 2:52Speaker 3: all have. Absolutely ridiculous. Paul McCartney. Hey, we were talking
- 2:58Speaker 3: about the Beatles before. You know, there's a new Beatles
- 3:01Speaker 3: biopic coming out. A biography picture of the Beatles.
- 3:05Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Do you really want to see that? I'd rather just
- 3:07Speaker 3: watch the Beatles. But apparently McCartney's not happy with it. Now,
- 3:13Speaker 3: what did they get wrong in the story of the
- 3:15Speaker 3: Beatles that bothers me?
- 3:16Speaker 1: Well.
- 3:17Speaker 3: It turns out the guy playing him in the movie
- 3:22Speaker 3: is shorter than John Lennon. You see, if you're the
- 3:26Speaker 3: subject of the movie, you're always going to get bothered
- 3:29Speaker 3: by something nobody else would even notice or care about.
- 3:32Speaker 3: But he noticed the guy playing McCartney is shorter than
- 3:34Speaker 3: John Lennon and McCartney not happy. He said, take a
- 3:37Speaker 3: look at any picture, any video, anything. We're all the
- 3:40Speaker 3: same height. We were all the same height. It's one
- 3:43Speaker 3: thing that Beatles were very lucky about. They looked so
- 3:46Speaker 3: great when they came on the Ed Sullivan show. They
- 3:49Speaker 3: looked great because they had the little beetle suits with
- 3:51Speaker 3: the tie. You remember back then it was the rock
- 3:55Speaker 3: and roll early 60s, late 50s. Everything was Elvis Presley
- 3:59Speaker 3: with the leather jacket. They all looked like Fonzie. And
- 4:02Speaker 3: the Beatles come to America. It was very smart on
- 4:04Speaker 3: the part of Brian Epstein. You know, with these juvenile
- 4:07Speaker 3: delinquent rock and roll. There was the Beatles in suits
- 4:10Speaker 3: and ties. Beetle suits and ties. That helped with the
- 4:14Speaker 3: parents and everything. But The other thing is they look
- 4:16Speaker 3: good on stage. They are all the same height. They
- 4:19Speaker 3: got just lucky that McCartney was left-handed because one mic
- 4:23Speaker 3: was John Lennon or George Harrison. The other, it would
- 4:28Speaker 3: be McCartney and the other, whoever it was, standing next
- 4:31Speaker 3: to each other. But because McCartney was left-handed, his guitar
- 4:35Speaker 3: went that way and John Lennon's guitar went that way.
- 4:39Speaker 3: It looked great. It was just beautiful symmetry. Instead of
- 4:42Speaker 3: both guitars going the same direction, And they would have
- 4:44Speaker 3: gotten in each other's way that way. Hey, flu season
- 4:47Speaker 3: has started earlier than expected. Now, some people don't want
- 4:53Speaker 3: to get the flu shot. You might want to get
- 4:54Speaker 3: it this year. They say it's a much more effective
- 4:56Speaker 3: flu shot. It's a different flu shot than usual. Traditionally,
- 5:00Speaker 3: the flu shot was a weakened version of the flu.
- 5:04Speaker 3: They give you a little flu virus to create some immunity.
- 5:07Speaker 3: This one is different. this is a mRNA vaccine. So it,
- 5:13Speaker 3: it like somehow tells your immune cells how to kill
- 5:16Speaker 3: the flu. So, but they're urging people to get it.
- 5:20Speaker 3: It's already underway starting earlier than usual. You know, the
- 5:23Speaker 3: problem now is, uh, if Democrats take Congress, if they,
- 5:27Speaker 3: if they were to win both houses and take total
- 5:31Speaker 3: control of Congress, what would they do? Well, you know,
- 5:35Speaker 3: of course they would impeach Trump every second, but, uh,
- 5:38Speaker 3: That's not the worst thing. The Democrats' real plan is
- 5:43Speaker 3: to totally change the whole infrastructure of our democracy and
- 5:47Speaker 3: create a system where no Republican can ever win again. Now,
- 5:51Speaker 3: the way they want to do that, and they've talked
- 5:53Speaker 3: about it openly, and now in the campaign, here's Kamala
- 5:56Speaker 3: Harris saying it this week, actually saying it out loud,
- 6:01Speaker 3: that there would be institutional changes. They would eliminate the
- 6:04Speaker 3: Electoral College. That would be number one. They would add
- 6:10Speaker 3: to the Supreme Court. They would stack the court. Instead
- 6:12Speaker 3: of nine justices, it would be 12 or 20 justices,
- 6:16Speaker 3: which means they would load it up with a lot
- 6:18Speaker 3: of left-wing judges. And the other thing they would do
- 6:22Speaker 3: is make Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. states. Those are
- 6:26Speaker 3: two very left-wing places. And if you did that, that
- 6:31Speaker 3: would add four Democratic senators to Congress, House members too,
- 6:37Speaker 3: but four democratic senators to the senate which would almost
- 6:41Speaker 3: guarantee the democrats control the senate and the house forever
- 6:46Speaker 3: so that's the real democratic plan no electoral college add
- 6:51Speaker 3: those two states stack the congress with democrats stack the
- 6:56Speaker 3: supreme court with democrats so it hasn't been talked about
- 7:01Speaker 3: enough it's something everybody should be aware of uh And
- 7:06Speaker 3: the left wing now hates 60 Minutes. It used to
- 7:08Speaker 3: be their big show because 60 Minutes every week for
- 7:11Speaker 3: the last few years would just attack Republicans left and right.
- 7:14Speaker 3: It would just tear apart. So Barry Weiss takes over,
- 7:17Speaker 3: new president of CBS News, and tries to make it
- 7:20Speaker 3: a little more balanced. Now, she's not a Republican. She's
- 7:22Speaker 3: a Democrat. She's left wing, Barry Weiss. She's from the
- 7:26Speaker 3: New York Times. But she wants a little balance there.
- 7:30Speaker 3: And she's tried to create it. So the left wing, oh,
- 7:33Speaker 3: they hate 60 Minutes now. They check the 60 Minutes
- 7:36Speaker 3: ratings every week. They never checked them before, ever. Now
- 7:41Speaker 3: they're checking. Well, it turned out it took a nosedive
- 7:43Speaker 3: this past week. It was down to 6 million viewers.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Lowest rated one so far this season. You'll see this
- 7:49Speaker 3: all over the left-wing news. The New York Times, MSNL,
- 7:53Speaker 3: 60 Minutes. Why did it take a nosedive? I'm trying
- 7:55Speaker 3: to blame it on Barry Weiss. I think if you
- 7:58Speaker 3: check the record, there was no NFL game leading into
- 8:01Speaker 3: 60 Minutes this week. The whole ratings of 60 Minutes
- 8:04Speaker 3: depends on what NFL game is on right before it.
- 8:08Speaker 3: If it's the biggest game and the greatest game, 60
- 8:11Speaker 3: Minutes gets 10 million viewers. If it's a bad game,
- 8:13Speaker 3: 8 million. If there's no game, 6 million. There was
- 8:17Speaker 3: no afternoon game on the network leading into 60 Minutes.
- 8:21Speaker 3: So the lead-in was the local news or something. So
- 8:25Speaker 3: that's the reason for those lower ratings. Anthropic claims that
- 8:31Speaker 3: small AI models... Anthropic, of course, one of the four
- 8:35Speaker 3: companies that control AI, this little cartel, well, big cartel
- 8:40Speaker 3: that controls AI. The little models are, this is too
- 8:45Speaker 3: technical to get into, but they could reproduce themselves in
- 8:51Speaker 3: internet-connected home devices. You know, you're going to have AI
- 8:55Speaker 3: in your oven, in your TV, in all your devices.
- 8:58Speaker 3: The point of this, without getting into the weeds of
- 9:00Speaker 3: all the technology of AI, it would be able, the
- 9:06Speaker 3: little AI cells in there would be able to reproduce
- 9:09Speaker 3: themselves and do all kinds of things combining with the
- 9:12Speaker 3: other appliances. Well, what this all means is you won't
- 9:16Speaker 3: need as much power and data from a data center.
- 9:21Speaker 3: So they think this is one of the breakthroughs. You know,
- 9:23Speaker 3: these data centers, the reason people hate them is they're
- 9:25Speaker 3: so big. They're the size of an airport and they...
- 9:30Speaker 3: They use a lot of electricity and a lot of water. Well,
- 9:33Speaker 3: they're solving the electricity problem by figuring out how to
- 9:37Speaker 3: create their own power using nuclear cells and other things.
- 9:40Speaker 3: The water power, they pretty much solved because they can
- 9:43Speaker 3: recycle the water. The noise from the turbines, that they
- 9:47Speaker 3: haven't solved. The turbine noise can go for a half mile,
- 9:51Speaker 3: make it unbearable for anybody living within a half mile.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Elon Musk is working now on fixing that. He's got
- 9:58Speaker 3: a turbine company trying to develop quieter turbines. The other
- 10:04Speaker 3: problem is the size, the massive size of these data centers. Well,
- 10:09Speaker 3: this stuff I was just talking about, this would solve that.
- 10:11Speaker 3: You wouldn't need data centers to be as large. And
- 10:15Speaker 3: that's the other thing you got to remember. You see
- 10:16Speaker 3: this data center now, that's now. Five years from now,
- 10:20Speaker 3: the data center will be much smaller and quieter. Same
- 10:24Speaker 3: thing happened with the computers. Remember, if you're back in
- 10:26Speaker 3: the 1960s, 70s, and you saw a computer, like an
- 10:32Speaker 3: IBM special computer, it was the size of a basketball court.
- 10:36Speaker 3: I mean, this computer was an enormous room with a
- 10:40Speaker 3: computer in it with a million blinking lights on it. Well, now,
- 10:44Speaker 3: you see this little iPhone I have here? This phone
- 10:47Speaker 3: got 10 times the power of that computer. So this
- 10:50Speaker 3: is the other thing you remember with these data centers.
- 10:52Speaker 3: They're going to get smaller and smaller and smaller. And
- 10:55Speaker 3: at some point, you could put them in a little building.
- 10:58Speaker 3: So all the problems of the data center will go
- 11:02Speaker 3: away as the technology develops. Ukraine, Zelensky all upset because,
- 11:10Speaker 3: first of all, President Trump made that deal for Russia,
- 11:13Speaker 3: the diesel fuel and all of that. The price of
- 11:17Speaker 3: diesel is too high. Russia's got a ton of diesel oil.
- 11:22Speaker 3: He wants them flooding the market with it. That'll bring
- 11:24Speaker 3: the price down for everybody. But Zelensky giving him a
- 11:29Speaker 3: hard time yelling and screaming about what a victory for Putin.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Why would the president do that? He's on the wrong side. Well,
- 11:35Speaker 3: next thing you know, his Starlink system that he needs,
- 11:40Speaker 3: you know, Ukraine has become unbelievably skilled with the drones,
- 11:44Speaker 3: massive drones, unbelievable, powerful drones. that they're hitting Russia with.
- 11:49Speaker 3: These drones can go 100 miles an hour. Can you
- 11:52Speaker 3: imagine that? However, they need to be coordinated with Starlink,
- 11:57Speaker 3: not the regular Starlink that we use in regular everyday life.
- 12:01Speaker 3: This is the military version of Starlink. It's called StarShield.
- 12:06Speaker 3: It's Elon Musk. He came up with this. This is
- 12:08Speaker 3: the greatest technology in warfare. This StarShield can direct the drones,
- 12:13Speaker 3: gather intelligence real fast. Well, the system got shut down.
- 12:17Speaker 3: So Ukraine attacking Elon Musk like crazy. Musk online explaining
- 12:24Speaker 3: he has nothing to do with that. It's controlled by
- 12:26Speaker 3: the U.S. government. It's a system he sold to the U.S. government.
- 12:29Speaker 3: They own it. They control it. Any limits on speed
- 12:33Speaker 3: or usage were decided by the U.S. military and the president.
- 12:37Speaker 3: So putting the blame on them. I guess he, I
- 12:40Speaker 3: don't know, he's trying to let Zelensky know who's really
- 12:45Speaker 3: in charge. The other thing is apparently they depend on us.
- 12:50Speaker 3: They may have all these weapons they've developed, but they
- 12:52Speaker 3: depend on us for all sorts of intelligence, real-time intelligence
- 12:57Speaker 3: on Russia and all of that. President reminding Zelensky he
- 13:02Speaker 3: shouldn't be so anti-U.S. in his comments. Hey, Broadway's doing
- 13:06Speaker 3: pretty well. Broadway's doing very well. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, big new
- 13:11Speaker 3: show coming. Other desert cities. This is her new Broadway show. Also,
- 13:20Speaker 3: Ed Harris, Allison Janier in it. It opens Sunday. Incredible
- 13:24Speaker 3: box office so far. It did over $ 2 million second
- 13:27Speaker 3: week of the box office. That's a lot of money. Hamilton,
- 13:30Speaker 3: which is doing better than ever, took in $ 3 million.
- 13:34Speaker 3: So this is getting close to Hamilton. $ 2 million in
- 13:37Speaker 3: one week. Yeah, Hamilton, I don't know why, has had
- 13:40Speaker 3: a huge revival. Huge revival. All of a sudden, it's
- 13:43Speaker 3: very big. A lot of people going to Hamilton now. Hey,
- 13:47Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman running a whole new series of ads. And
- 13:50Speaker 3: also this James Dolan super PAC running some great ads
- 13:56Speaker 3: going after Hochul. You know, she spent a fortune last
- 14:00Speaker 3: month on ads bashing Blakeman. But in what was a
- 14:05Speaker 3: real compliment to Blakeman, she did all this opposition research.
- 14:08Speaker 3: She couldn't find anything bad about Blakeman. There was nothing bad.
- 14:12Speaker 3: So all the ads are, he's friends with Trump. He
- 14:15Speaker 3: likes Trump. He endorsed Trump. He's with Trump. So Blakeman's
- 14:19Speaker 3: got a new ad that's excellent. It's just Blakeman looking
- 14:22Speaker 3: in the camera. He goes, Kathy Hochul, all you hear
- 14:25Speaker 3: from her is Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, which
- 14:28Speaker 3: is a brilliant idea. You keep running those ads. And
- 14:30Speaker 3: then when you see her ads yelling Trump, Trump, Trump,
- 14:33Speaker 3: they look even more ridiculous. Very good ad from Bruce Blakeman.
- 14:38Speaker 3: The debate... Well, it takes a couple of days. The debate,
- 14:42Speaker 3: by Monday, you'll know. We'll get new polling on Monday.
- 14:46Speaker 3: We'll see what effect the debate had. It should be
- 14:49Speaker 3: a huge lift up for Blakeman, who's already tied with
- 14:53Speaker 3: her in the polls. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
- 14:55Speaker 3: 800-321-0710 is the number. Especially new callers. We like new callers.
- 15:01Speaker 3: Give me a call.
- 15:02Speaker 2: 800-321-0710.
- 15:05Speaker 3: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios, Mark Simone. Hey, let's
- 15:18Speaker 3: take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710. Let's go
- 15:25Speaker 3: to Ron in Pittsburgh. Ron, how are you doing?
- 15:29Speaker 1: I'm doing good, Mark. How are you doing? I know
- 15:31Speaker 1: you got a check.
- 15:32Speaker 3: No, I'm fine. I'm fine.
- 15:34Speaker 1: All right. Hey, I'm glad you got three hours here.
- 15:37Speaker 1: You're refreshing.
- 15:39Speaker 4: Hey, a couple of days ago, I was working. I'm 73,
- 15:42Speaker 4: but I still do stuff. And you had that lady
- 15:46Speaker 4: who flipped out in that airplane screaming.
- 15:48Speaker 1: That was so hilarious.
- 15:51Speaker 4: Hey, you know, I'm 73.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Back in the 80s, I had a kid in the South.
- 15:55Speaker 3: How many times are you going to tell us this?
- 15:57Speaker 3: Stop bragging about it.
- 15:59Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Mark.
- 16:00Speaker 3: That's okay.
- 16:00Speaker 2: That's okay.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Go ahead. But anyhow.
- 16:03Speaker 4: I had a James Brown car alarm. He touched my car.
- 16:07Speaker 1: I go, wow, wow.
- 16:08Speaker 4: It sounded just like her.
- 16:09Speaker 1: That was like a James Brown thing.
- 16:13Speaker 3: Well, you live in Pittsburgh. You probably need three, four
- 16:16Speaker 3: car alarms, right? I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. It's
- 16:19Speaker 3: a joke.
- 16:21Speaker 1: I don't know about that. What do you think? Do
- 16:22Speaker 1: you think it sounds like James Brown?
- 16:25Speaker 3: Try it again.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Do you think that sounds like James Brown?
- 16:29Speaker 3: Do it again. Let me hear you do it again.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Wow, wow.
- 16:33Speaker 1: No, no. I wasn't as good as the other guy,
- 16:35Speaker 1: but I had an alarm sound just like an honest
- 16:37Speaker 1: to God I did.
- 16:38Speaker 3: And what kind of work do you do?
- 16:41Speaker 1: I was a postal employee for 41 years and three months.
- 16:43Speaker 3: This is like a Cliff Clavin. That's what I thought.
- 16:46Speaker 3: What do you do now?
- 16:48Speaker 4: Right now I'm a musician, and I help clean a
- 16:50Speaker 4: few banks once in a while.
- 16:52Speaker 3: What kind of musician?
- 16:54Speaker 1: I'm a bass player, singer.
- 16:56Speaker 3: I like all kinds of music. Let me ask you
- 16:59Speaker 3: an important question. What makes a guy want to be
- 17:02Speaker 3: a bass player when you could play the guitar? Why
- 17:04Speaker 3: do you want to play the bass and just go?
- 17:06Speaker 4: Because I'm going to tell you what, ask any bass player,
- 17:08Speaker 4: because you, you have three guitar players, a band.
- 17:11Speaker 1: You have one bass player who locks in with the drummer.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 17:15Speaker 4: Well, since you brought that up, Hey, I just watched that, uh,
- 17:18Speaker 4: Frank Sinatra special. I never realized how good that dude was.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Wow.
- 17:22Speaker 3: Which special is that?
- 17:23Speaker 1: It's on Netflix. Oh, okay. It's his whole life story.
- 17:28Speaker 1: It's he was really, uh, something else. I'll guarantee you
- 17:32Speaker 1: one thing. He liked the bass players.
- 17:35Speaker 3: Yeah, he had that Mule Hully, Major Hully, who played
- 17:38Speaker 3: bass with him. If you got Fox Nation, that's another
- 17:42Speaker 3: streaming service. Fox Nation, they got the best Sinatra documentary
- 17:47Speaker 3: on there. It's called Echoes of an Icon. Fox Nation,
- 17:51Speaker 3: go check out that Sinatra documentary because they spent a
- 17:54Speaker 3: lot of money. They got all the clips.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Oh, I will.
- 17:56Speaker 4: Did you know Frank Sinatra?
- 17:57Speaker 3: Very well. Very well. In fact, I'm on the Fox
- 18:00Speaker 3: documentary there. Yeah, very well.
- 18:02Speaker 4: Now, is he as nice as guys project.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Him to be?
- 18:07Speaker 3: Well, people try to explain how he could be so
- 18:09Speaker 3: nice and then the next minute throw in a ketchup
- 18:11Speaker 3: bottle at a waiter. Well, the truth is. he liked
- 18:16Speaker 3: to drink. He was always drinking. And if you were drinking,
- 18:18Speaker 3: that's the personality. It could be nice one moment, crazy
- 18:21Speaker 3: the next. But overall, a nice guy. Very, very, very
- 18:24Speaker 3: good to people. Very charitable to people.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Very talented.
- 18:28Speaker 3: But he had a temper. He had a bit of
- 18:30Speaker 3: a temper. But thanks for calling, Ron. Take care. Let's
- 18:33Speaker 3: go to Jim in New Jersey. Jim, how you doing?
- 18:38Speaker 1: I graduated from Cornell in 1979. I was in the
- 18:41Speaker 1: hotel school. Drew Nipperon was class of 77. Mark. Drew.
- 18:46Speaker 3: Drew Nipperon. He went to Cornell. You're right. I forgot
- 18:48Speaker 3: about that. That's supposed to be one of the best
- 18:50Speaker 3: hotel restaurant schools.
- 18:53Speaker 1: The one in Switzerland. Mark, that campus up there today
- 18:55Speaker 1: is nothing compared to what we did up there from
- 18:59Speaker 1: 75 to 79. My 20th birthday, I tried to drive
- 19:02Speaker 1: my car up the Cornell slope. I was so drunk.
- 19:06Speaker 1: We used to have two student union bars on campus
- 19:09Speaker 1: that were open until 2 in the morning. I remember
- 19:12Speaker 1: the last example, Mark, my senior year, 1978 Labor Day.
- 19:16Speaker 1: I was walking up the class at the hotel school,
- 19:18Speaker 1: and my fraternity had a keg of beer at 8
- 19:21Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning on the campus store. And we
- 19:24Speaker 1: had a big party with the sororities. There's nothing up
- 19:27Speaker 1: there today. You'd get locked up in jail if you
- 19:29Speaker 1: tried that up there today. I didn't know.
- 19:32Speaker 3: This fraternity, they're drinking alcohol, they're using ketamine, whatever that is, drugs.
- 19:37Speaker 3: Sounds pretty bad.
- 19:38Speaker 1: But you're right, Mark. It's a lot of state schools.
- 19:40Speaker 1: The ag school, Oberman School, they have state school. The
- 19:44Speaker 1: School of Human Ecology, that's like a home economic school there.
- 19:47Speaker 1: That's a state school. The ILR School, that's industrial. labor
- 19:50Speaker 1: relations that's a that's a uh so a lot of
- 19:52Speaker 1: the schools but it's a great campus with the beautiful
- 19:55Speaker 1: veterinarian 20 acres of their veterinarian school that's graduate It
- 19:59Speaker 1: was the first architecture school there in the world ever.
- 20:02Speaker 1: It's on the main campus.
- 20:03Speaker 3: Well, but one problem with Cornell, it's Ithaca, right? Ithaca,
- 20:07Speaker 3: you're like out in the middle of nowhere. There's not
- 20:09Speaker 3: a lot around there.
- 20:10Speaker 1: It was built, it was donated by Ezra Cornell, donated
- 20:14Speaker 1: his cattle farm, which is up on the hill above
- 20:17Speaker 1: the city. And it's divided by two gorges and they
- 20:20Speaker 1: have nets there to prevent the students from jumping into
- 20:22Speaker 1: the gorge and killing themselves. They actually have nets there.
- 20:25Speaker 1: It's a very unusual campus, beautiful campus.
- 20:27Speaker 3: All right. Sounds a little crazy, but good call. Interesting stuff.
- 20:31Speaker 3: Thanks for calling. Let's go to Jim in Long Island. Jim,
- 20:34Speaker 3: how you doing?
- 20:36Speaker 5: I'm doing good.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Thank you for taking my call, Mark.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Well, thanks for calling.
- 20:42Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you a question.
- 20:43Speaker 5: If you could comment on maybe if the president loses
- 20:47Speaker 5: the House and the Senate, We're going to have impeachment, impeachment,
- 20:52Speaker 5: impeachment every day. What if he just stepped down and
- 20:56Speaker 5: let Vance be the president? Vance pardons Trump for everything,
- 21:01Speaker 5: and Vance becomes the president.
- 21:03Speaker 3: Well, I don't think that's necessary. The problem with— they' ll impeach
- 21:07Speaker 3: him in the House all the time, but actual conviction removal— see,
- 21:10Speaker 3: the problem is these Democrats hate Vance. They think Vance
- 21:12Speaker 3: is even more right-wing. You always want to have— A
- 21:16Speaker 3: vice president they call impeachment insurance. That's one reason Biden
- 21:20Speaker 3: wanted Kamala. So I don't think the Democrats would want
- 21:24Speaker 3: Vance as president. So I don't think they'd go full
- 21:26Speaker 3: impeachment where they remove him. The other thing you ought
- 21:28Speaker 3: to remember is the president doesn't really need Congress that much.
- 21:32Speaker 3: He's got a great cabinet. He's not intending to look
- 21:35Speaker 3: for any more cabinet members, so he doesn't need Senate confirmation.
- 21:39Speaker 3: And he tends to not do a lot of legislation.
- 21:41Speaker 3: He tends to govern with executive orders. So he wouldn't
- 21:44Speaker 3: really be relying on Congress for much of anything. But
- 21:47Speaker 3: let's not get ahead of ourselves. Things look pretty good
- 21:49Speaker 3: for Republicans keeping the Senate. And the House, it's too
- 21:53Speaker 3: close to call right now. Hey, when we come back,
- 21:56Speaker 3: the very funny Jimmy Fallon will be with us next.
- 21:59Speaker 3: But first, on 710WOR. Mark Simone, Mr.
- 22:04Speaker 2: New York. Now three hours every weekday from 9 till
- 22:07Speaker 2: noon on 710WOR.
- 22:12Speaker 3: Well, Jimmy Fallon, one of the great comedians in the
- 22:15Speaker 3: world today, a wonderful talk show host. He's on every night,
- 22:19Speaker 3: 9 to midnight, here on WOR. You'll love this show.
- 22:22Speaker 3: It's very addictive. 9 to midnight, every weeknight. And then
- 22:26Speaker 3: on Saturday night, he does the best late-night show on television,
- 22:29Speaker 3: 10 o'clock on the Fox News Channel, and the number
- 22:33Speaker 3: one finest monologue in television, Saturday nights at 10, Fox
- 22:37Speaker 3: News Channel. Jimmy Fallon, how you doing?
- 22:40Speaker 2: Good, but you know what? If you keep complimenting the monologue,
- 22:42Speaker 2: I'm going to have to give my drug dealer a raise.
- 22:45Speaker 2: So we've got to rein this in. Rates are going
- 22:48Speaker 2: up behind Port Authority, Mr.
- 22:49Speaker 1: New York.
- 22:49Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard.
- 22:51Speaker 3: Well, speaking of monologues, Saturday Night Live, Shane Gillis does
- 22:55Speaker 3: this monologue. I thought it was very funny. And then
- 22:57Speaker 3: they're trying to cancel him because he said something about
- 23:00Speaker 3: women looking hot in a gym or misogynist. Where did
- 23:04Speaker 3: that come from?
- 23:06Speaker 2: It's so bananas. I mean, let's start with the obvious. Yes,
- 23:09Speaker 2: there are a lot of women at the gym dressed
- 23:12Speaker 2: like they get paid in singles. Okay, that's a real thing.
- 23:16Speaker 2: That is the reality of gym attire these days. But
- 23:19Speaker 2: the jokes were about him, how he was in the
- 23:21Speaker 2: background on a lot of these Zoom videos and he
- 23:24Speaker 2: looks like a loser. And the reality is everybody trying
- 23:27Speaker 2: to cancel him is just trying to gain relevance by
- 23:31Speaker 2: inserting themselves into this happening story. That's what this is about.
- 23:35Speaker 2: It's not about any justice for women. It's a joke.
- 23:39Speaker 2: I mean, that's the whole point is it is a joke.
- 23:41Speaker 2: It wasn't a political statement. Okay, like right now, we're
- 23:44Speaker 2: living in an America, okay, where we have, you know,
- 23:48Speaker 2: biological men and women's locker rooms. If you were looking
- 23:50Speaker 2: out for women, maybe you'd fight that battle. Or, oh,
- 23:53Speaker 2: I don't know, all of these rapists and dirtbags that
- 23:56Speaker 2: ISIS is trying to deport that, you know, Democrats want
- 23:58Speaker 2: to keep in the country. Maybe if you're looking out
- 23:59Speaker 2: for women, you talk about that. But when you're going
- 24:01Speaker 2: after a comedian, you're telling me you're doing okay, okay,
- 24:05Speaker 2: because it's comedy. There's no world, okay, in the 80s
- 24:08Speaker 2: or 90s, where the person who got offended by things
- 24:11Speaker 2: was taken seriously. We just kind of ignored them and
- 24:14Speaker 2: moved on. That's what we should be doing here.
- 24:15Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Hey, you go back and you watch an old Tonight
- 24:18Speaker 3: Show with Don Rickles or Letterman, and Rickles is making
- 24:21Speaker 3: fun of the black guy, the Chinese guy, the this guy,
- 24:23Speaker 3: the that guy, makes fun of Irish people, Jewish. Why
- 24:28Speaker 3: was it? It was very funny, but what happened? I mean,
- 24:31Speaker 3: nobody got offended back then.
- 24:32Speaker 2: There was no social media anymore. for people to go
- 24:38Speaker 2: complain on. That's the truth. Comedy never gets in trouble
- 24:41Speaker 2: in comedy clubs. It's when it travels to the internet.
- 24:45Speaker 2: The people who showed up to the comedy club bought
- 24:47Speaker 2: a two drink minimum and shook hands on the premise
- 24:50Speaker 2: that none of this was going to be taken seriously.
- 24:52Speaker 2: But when your video makes it out to the internet,
- 24:55Speaker 2: people want to go get clout and currency by being like,
- 24:58Speaker 2: I'm the hero saving us from the comedian. But again, it's,
- 25:03Speaker 2: you know, you're never going to be the party and go,
- 25:05Speaker 2: I can't wait till the guy who gets offended by
- 25:07Speaker 2: stuff gets here, you know? And if you do enjoy
- 25:10Speaker 2: that person, you're out of luck because they don't get
- 25:11Speaker 2: invited to parties.
- 25:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:13Speaker 3: And why is it these, I know we're going to
- 25:16Speaker 3: get in trouble here, but why is this, these angry,
- 25:18Speaker 3: crazy liberals, Trump hated these women, They're all 100 years old.
- 25:23Speaker 3: They all look like Madeleine Albright. Why is that? You
- 25:26Speaker 3: never see any hot women protesting Trump?
- 25:29Speaker 2: No. It's all blue hair, nose ring, you know, driving
- 25:33Speaker 2: in the car with a COVID mask on. And the
- 25:37Speaker 2: one thing I love about him is he keeps leaning
- 25:40Speaker 2: in to the hot woman thing on his side. You know,
- 25:45Speaker 2: the new press secretary looks great. You know, she's got
- 25:47Speaker 2: a little growing to do as far as the job
- 25:49Speaker 2: is concerned. He likes to say central casting these women.
- 25:54Speaker 2: And I'm just telling you this, what the Internet in
- 25:56Speaker 2: the era of cancel culture did. is it created a
- 26:00Speaker 2: world where a lot of losers could be treated like winners.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Because you could go out there, say that you were
- 26:06Speaker 2: offended by something, you were aggrieved, and now everybody liked
- 26:09Speaker 2: your posts. And everybody elevated you in status because you
- 26:14Speaker 2: brought it to our attention, this horrific injustice that Saturday
- 26:18Speaker 2: Night Live told a joke. Guys, Saturday Night Live once
- 26:21Speaker 2: did a skit called Bad Idea Genes about these scantily
- 26:25Speaker 2: clad women and the bad decisions they'd make in Bad
- 26:28Speaker 2: Idea Genes. OK, so the cast itself has gone out
- 26:33Speaker 2: there and made these types of jokes because they're jokes,
- 26:36Speaker 2: not hate crimes. And these other losers just trying to
- 26:39Speaker 2: get attention off it should be treated like that.
- 26:42Speaker 3: Good point. Hey, Jimmy Fallon does a great radio show.
- 26:45Speaker 3: It's nine to midnight every weeknight here, nine to midnight.
- 26:49Speaker 3: And it's one of the it's a very big show,
- 26:51Speaker 3: does very well. Are you worried about this tough new competition?
- 26:55Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton has announced she's going to do a podcast now.
- 27:00Speaker 2: I said yesterday, they have this famous podcast, Wait, Wait,
- 27:03Speaker 2: Don't Tell Me. Hillary's just called Wait, Wait, Don't Kill Me.
- 27:06Speaker 2: Not good. That's just a list of people who might
- 27:10Speaker 2: be in trouble this week.
- 27:12Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 27:12Speaker 2: You know, I don't know what to do with Hillary, okay?
- 27:14Speaker 2: I'll tell you something about her. You know, she is
- 27:17Speaker 2: obviously dealing with an incurable case of president-itis. Like, she
- 27:21Speaker 2: really wants to be president, so she's become that stray
- 27:24Speaker 2: cat that we fed that one time in 2016 who's
- 27:27Speaker 2: never going to go away. And I know this to
- 27:29Speaker 2: be true, Mark. I want you to really wrap your
- 27:30Speaker 2: head around this, everybody listening. Do you remember two years
- 27:33Speaker 2: ago when she gave the speech that she would have
- 27:37Speaker 2: given had she won the presidency? She did that event
- 27:40Speaker 2: with Chelsea where she gave the speech she would have
- 27:43Speaker 2: given if she won. Imagine you run into your ex-girlfriend
- 27:46Speaker 2: from 10 years ago and she reads the wedding vows
- 27:49Speaker 2: she would have read had you married her. You'd probably
- 27:52Speaker 2: run out of the mall for your own safety, would
- 27:54Speaker 2: you not?
- 27:55Speaker 1: Crazy.
- 27:56Speaker 3: As you've probably learned, you know, when you're on stage,
- 28:00Speaker 3: you're doing comedy. It's a performance. But when you're on
- 28:02Speaker 3: the radio, it's intimate. The audience really gets the real you.
- 28:07Speaker 3: Doesn't she have to worry? The real her is a
- 28:09Speaker 3: really annoying cold fish, isn't it?
- 28:13Speaker 2: Yeah, the real her is going to hit the audience
- 28:15Speaker 2: with a speaking face. She's going to come on the
- 28:19Speaker 2: mic and not say anything until the check clears. She's
- 28:21Speaker 2: going to be sitting there and you're going to hear, um, um.
- 28:25Speaker 2: She's just sitting there.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Shaking a cup. But yeah, the warmth is.
- 28:29Speaker 2: Not going to be there. I'm excited to watch it. Uh,
- 28:33Speaker 2: if only because I know it'll be cringy in a
- 28:35Speaker 2: good way, like in a fun way. And I'll get
- 28:37Speaker 2: some clips out of it for the monologue, which is great. Uh,
- 28:40Speaker 2: but for the listener, I don't, I really don't know
- 28:42Speaker 2: what the deliverable is here.
- 28:43Speaker 3: Um, Hey, did you watch the, uh, Bruce Blakeman, Kathy
- 28:48Speaker 3: Hochul debate? Yeah, it was good, man.
- 28:51Speaker 2: Uh, he, he just as a programming note, he's on
- 28:55Speaker 2: Fox news Saturday night next weekend.
- 28:57Speaker 3: Oh, great.
- 28:57Speaker 2: And, uh, We're going to do a big one-on-one segment
- 29:00Speaker 2: where I talk about him, about my ideas to save
- 29:02Speaker 2: the state. We're doing a segment. It's called Pump the Blakes,
- 29:06Speaker 2: where I'm going to give him my cab driver wisdom,
- 29:10Speaker 2: and he's going to say if it's a good idea
- 29:11Speaker 2: or we need to pump the blakes for Blakeman. Very punny.
- 29:15Speaker 2: But I think it's going to be great. And I
- 29:16Speaker 2: think the debate was great because the line of the night,
- 29:19Speaker 2: you know, with Hochul, as he kept saying, you know,
- 29:21Speaker 2: whatever she tried to bring, you know, well, he's just
- 29:23Speaker 2: hanging out with Trump. And he's like, hey, Trump didn't
- 29:26Speaker 2: raise my utility bill 48 different times.
- 29:29Speaker 1: You did.
- 29:30Speaker 2: And it's true. She has no policy defense for anything.
- 29:33Speaker 3: So that's great. You have Blakeman on now. Hochul might
- 29:35Speaker 3: demand equal time. She's not exactly someone who would light
- 29:38Speaker 3: up a comedy show, is she?
- 29:41Speaker 2: Ha! Hochul is only the governor because she was the
- 29:44Speaker 2: only woman in Albany that was too annoying for Cuomo
- 29:47Speaker 2: to hit on.
- 29:48Speaker 3: Okay?
- 29:49Speaker 2: He didn't want to put up with her on a date. Otherwise,
- 29:52Speaker 2: she would have been in one of those Me Too's
- 29:54Speaker 2: or something and got out of there with a job
- 29:56Speaker 2: and a payday. But she's the worst, man. And she's
- 29:59Speaker 2: such a Montani enabler. And it's just been so disastrous
- 30:02Speaker 2: for the state. God, I hope he wins, man. Yeah,
- 30:06Speaker 2: she's depending on Mamdani for a lot of support and help.
- 30:08Speaker 2: But did you notice in the debate, Blakeman at one
- 30:10Speaker 2: point really went after Mamdani. He called him everything in
- 30:13Speaker 2: the world. And then when they went to Hochul, she
- 30:15Speaker 2: didn't defend him. Don't you think Mamdani must have been
- 30:18Speaker 2: watching that and getting very annoyed at her? Yeah, but
- 30:21Speaker 2: he probably also knows that at this point in an
- 30:24Speaker 2: election cycle, they try to have it both ways. It's like,
- 30:28Speaker 2: you know, that Hassan Piker loser? is allowing Abdul Al-Said
- 30:32Speaker 2: to refer to him as a Twitch streamer from California.
- 30:35Speaker 2: You know, they're obviously more than that. They've done about
- 30:38Speaker 2: 25 events together. You know, that's like me referring to
- 30:42Speaker 2: my wife suddenly as a farm girl from Ohio. You know,
- 30:46Speaker 2: that farm girl from Ohio. She's like, you mean wife.
- 30:51Speaker 2: That's how they do it.
- 30:54Speaker 3: Mamdani and the city council want to get rid of
- 30:56Speaker 3: all the horse carriages in Central Park. Is that good
- 30:59Speaker 3: or bad?
- 31:01Speaker 2: Listen, man, I go both ways on this. Obviously, you
- 31:04Speaker 2: want to do something safe for the horses. I felt
- 31:06Speaker 2: like they had made a big improvement on that by
- 31:09Speaker 2: limiting them to that area. But, you know, he's always
- 31:12Speaker 2: looking for the superficial win. Because that's all you really
- 31:16Speaker 2: can do. Like we went from free buses to now
- 31:19Speaker 2: you can't even get around on a horse. You know,
- 31:22Speaker 2: he's taking us backwards in time. So and one of
- 31:26Speaker 2: the reasons why is because, as you know, he can't
- 31:28Speaker 2: really follow through on any of the other dopey things
- 31:31Speaker 2: he ran on. So he spends a lot of his
- 31:34Speaker 2: days demonizing things that are aesthetic. You know, that's what
- 31:38Speaker 2: this is. It's, you know, and it's no different than like,
- 31:40Speaker 2: remember the 4th of July when he sat on the
- 31:42Speaker 2: wrong side of George Washington's desk and bashed America? I'm like, dude,
- 31:45Speaker 2: for a guy who moved to America 10 years ago
- 31:47Speaker 2: to be mayor of the biggest city we have, it's
- 31:50Speaker 2: obviously a pretty tolerant place. You know what I'm saying?
- 31:53Speaker 2: But he's such a joke.
- 31:55Speaker 3: Yeah, a horse carriage. That's pretty green energy, isn't it?
- 31:58Speaker 3: You're thinking before that. That's as green as.
- 32:00Speaker 1: You can get.
- 32:02Speaker 2: That's another good point. You know, you're right about that.
- 32:04Speaker 2: The emissions got to be better than all of those
- 32:07Speaker 2: buses he's hitting us with, right?
- 32:08Speaker 3: Well, on the other hand, the horse emission is, well,
- 32:12Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Jimmy Fail is on 9
- 32:16Speaker 3: to midnight every weeknight here on WOR. What do you
- 32:19Speaker 3: got for tonight's show?
- 32:22Speaker 2: Ooh, Dean Cain, who used to play Superman.
- 32:24Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 32:25Speaker 2: Uh, he's going to be in the studio, uh, yucking
- 32:28Speaker 2: it up. And, uh, you know, he's as a conservative
- 32:30Speaker 2: in Hollywood, obviously like a unicorn. He's like a, you know,
- 32:34Speaker 2: a straight guy at an Ed Sheeran concert. And, uh,
- 32:37Speaker 2: we're going to have some fun with him and talk
- 32:40Speaker 2: about the state of politics and obviously Metallica telling everybody
- 32:43Speaker 2: to shut up and sing their songs instead of giving
- 32:45Speaker 2: us political lectures.
- 32:46Speaker 3: Oh, it'll be good. So nine to midnight tonight, listen
