• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You just heard the news. Now you'll find out what
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: it all means. It's Mark Simone on.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: 710WOR. Well, hey, don't forget we're 9 o'clock now, 9
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: to noon, three hours every day. A lot of stuff
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: going on. Jimmy Kimmel, the cancellation of Kimmel has been announced.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that. I hate to scare you about
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: summer coming to an end, but NFL season begins tonight.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: The opening game of the NFL season is tonight. We'll
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: get to that. We'll get to, hey, these 9-11 air
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: quality files that have been released are quite upsetting to everybody.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: We'll get to tonight's convention, the Republican midterm convention. We've
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: never seen a midterm convention before. It's a good idea,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: but there's a lot of buts to it. We'll get
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: to that. New Hampshire primary last night. Sununu won the
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Republican side.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: We also need to shake up Washington with real reform.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: What does that mean?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Nothing. You see, every politician says that every election. Every
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: two seconds they've been saying that for a hundred years.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: It never happens. On the Democratic side, Pappas won.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: The voters of New Hampshire have sent a clear message.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: They're fed up with what's happening in our politics and
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: they're ready for change.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: Woo!
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so again, same stuff. Now, there's only one scary
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: thing that came out of New Hampshire. Democratic turnout was
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: pretty good. Republican turnout was kind of low. That's a problem.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: That's going to be a big problem for Republicans in
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the midterms. They've got to get turnout. That's the key
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to everything. I mean, if everybody in the world voted,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: they'd probably have an easy time of winning. But turnout
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: is the key. And again, it's an off-year election. People
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: don't always turn out. Democrats are fired up. They're angry.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So the turnout was a little better for Democrats and
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a little low for Republicans in New Hampshire. Now, they've
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: got plenty of time to correct that, so they're going
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: to have to work on making sure they get turnout,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a ground game, all that sort of stuff. That's one reason,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the main reason for tonight's Republican midterm convention. It'll be
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: in Dallas. The president has decided he'll speak tonight. Now,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you've got a couple of problems. One, you got this
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: big NFL game on against it tonight. That's not going
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: to help. And it's not just any NFL season opener.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: It's a rematch of the Super Bowl. Seahawks and Patriots
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: will play tonight. So it's the two Super Bowl teams
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: playing again. It's the first NFL official season game. It's
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: going to get a huge audience, so that's not going
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to help this Republican midterm convention. Now, the idea of
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the Republican midterm convention is, is they'll fire up their
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: base and they'll get people out and they'll show people
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: why they got to vote Republican. Well, that's all great,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: but who's going to watch it? Who's going to actually
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: see this convention tonight? It won't be on any of
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the networks. It won't be covered by fake news. It
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: won't be covered by the New York Times or any
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: of this. You're not going to see it on MSNBC
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: or CNN. You won't see it on the broadcast networks. Now,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Fox News has said they would cover it, but... The
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: problem there is you've got to figure most of the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Fox viewers are already going to be voting Republican, will
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: already be voting, you know, already supporting Trump. So basically
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: that's just preaching to the choir. So that's the problem
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: with tonight. It's a two-night convention. President Trump will speak tonight. J.D.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Vance will speak tomorrow. President Trump will probably speak again tomorrow. Now,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the other problem is he's got to be really careful tonight.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: really careful with this speech, you know, affordability crisis, all
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: of that. Well, it's not really that much of a crisis.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: If you look at the actual economy, the numbers, the data,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: it's a pretty strong, pretty good economy. He's got to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: be careful selling that because if you make it sound
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: like you're oblivious, people feel there's an affordability crisis. There
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: may not be the crisis they think, but if they
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: feel it, You got to be careful with that. So
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the other problem is you don't want to make Trump
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: too much the face of the midterms, which he is
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: kind of doing, saying, assume I'm on the ballot. Well,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: problem is, again, that that inspires Democratic turnout. That'll increase
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Democratic turnout. And again, he's got to be careful with
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the speech tonight, not seeming oblivious to people's concerns. Empathy
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: is important. So he's got to be careful because they
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: could start cutting up his speech tonight to make campaign
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: commercials on the Democratic side. And he's just got to
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: be careful. The other thing with that speech, he's got
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to make sure he doesn't make himself too much the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: face of the party. And another concern, he did accomplish
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: a lot while in office the last two years. He
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: really did accomplish a lot. But you gotta be careful
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: not to just talk about the past. You can't just
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: list what you, what you did before. You got to
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: promise something that's coming, you know, no tax on tips,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: all those things that people loved. That's already there. You
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: got to have something new to promote. Now, knowing him,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the guy that always pulls a rabbit out of the hat,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: he'll unveil something tonight. Uh, that'll be pretty amazing. So
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: we'll see. It'll happen tonight. Again, I don't know what
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: kind of coverage or where it'll get any coverage. Um, Hey,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: as far as 9-11, a lot of people are saying, well,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Mamdani finally done one good thing. There were these secret
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: files that show that everybody in government, local government, city government,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: state government, federal government, they all knew the air quality
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: was horrible, that it was poisonous, that it was really dangerous,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and they deliberately covered it up. And the reason they
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: covered it up, if you'll read through these files, the
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: reason they covered it up was They saw a potential
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: for extreme liability. They would have to pay unbelievable amounts
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: of insurance claims on everybody working down there, living down there,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: to avoid that massive, calamitous liability problem. They covered it up.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Press conference yesterday, Mamdani, John Stewart, a Mamdani buddy, who's
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: always been quite the advocate for those 9-11 families.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: There was poison everywhere. in the air and on the
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: ground and in the windowsills and in your air conditioners
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: and covering your pets and your clothes. And it stayed
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: there for months. Everyone knew.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, why would Mamdani do such a noble thing here,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: releasing the files? Why would he be so? Well, I
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: think the main motivation here is he wants to take
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: down the establishment of the people he's always being compared to,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Rudy Giuliani, the greatest mayor ever, George Pataki, a great governor.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: He's trying to destroy their reputations. That's one reason he
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: wants to release this. He wants to discredit all of them.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And he wants to do it before he goes down
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: there for the 9-11 ceremony. People are very upset he'll
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: be there. He's not George Pataki. He's not Rudy Giuliani. Well,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: he's trying to bring them down by releasing all this information.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: But It's still important that we get to see it.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: They did cover up. They knew how bad the air was,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and they covered it up.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: We hold an obligation to each of those New Yorkers
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: to ensure that Never Forget is not just a platitude,
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: but that it is something material to lead with the
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: honesty and responsibility that have too long been lacking, and
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: to fight for those who were there, devoted to the
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: city that they loved.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Now, let's be honest, deep down, Mamdani, does he really
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: care about the firemen and the policemen and the first
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: responders and those great heroes? Does he really care? No.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: He hopes you all drop dead, but he'd love to
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: discredit all the establishment politicians who covered things up.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: The 170,000 pages posted today are only the first release.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: More will be shared over the next 12 months. Every
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: document on this portal will be accessible to every New
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Yorker free of charge.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: He didn't just release him. He put him up online.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: He put a search thing in there. We'll see how
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: much attention it gets, but he's trying to really damage
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the reputations of all the establishment politicians.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: These are documents that show what the city knew about
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: the toxic air around Ground Zero, when they knew it,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: and how they acted to limit liability. They contain details
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: about DEP's response. They show how asbestos was found nearly
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: everywhere that inspectors tested, and they will help New Yorkers
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: access the health care they need.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty scary stuff. It's pretty ugly stuff, and
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: it's pretty outrageous stuff. But again, his motive isn't as
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: noble as you think. He's really just trying to destroy Rudy,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: George Pataki, and all the leaders that were down there.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: The city began covering their ass three weeks in. In
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: a memo, the memo is entitled Legislative Alternatives to the
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Fiscal Responsibility for 9-11. These people had to fight, sick
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: and dying, for years.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty bad stuff. All right, it's depressing. Let
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: me give you some good news. Jimmy Kimmel will be
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: going off the air. It's the end of the Jimmy
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Kimmel era. It's been on a long time. You know,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: it's been 24 years. This guy's been on 23 or
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: 24 years. Remember, we've explained to you that when your
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: contract is up, you get another contract, three years, five years.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Some people like three years. Some people like five.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Years.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Well, this time around, they didn't give them a new contract.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: They just gave them a one-year extension, which is pretty insulting.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: It happened once to Johnny Carson. Every five years, they'd
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: show up and sign the new five-year contract, and all
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, they showed up one year, and the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: NBC guy said, how about a one-year contract? Well, Carson,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: right on the spot, said he was retiring. He knew
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: what that meant. So they did it to Kimmel. They
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: gave him a one-year extension, which is as insulting as
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: you can get. It's just about up. It'll be up
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: at the end of this season. So they've announced one
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: more season. Well, they haven't actually announced it, but the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: word is one more season, and he'll go off the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: air in May. And that'll be the end of Kimmel.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I think one of the things that sped it up
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: was when they got rid of Colbert over at CBS,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: it was replaced with just a real comedy show, not
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: an angry political show, not a biased, angry show with
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: an agenda, just a genuine comedy show, laughs, Byron Allen's
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: comics unleashed. And it's crushing Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: in the most important thing, 18 to 49 year olds,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the demo that the TV networks want 18 to 49.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed, crushing both of them. And it's
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: a much cheaper show to do than Fallon or Kimmel.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: So I think when Kimmel goes off the air, that's
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: what they got in mind. They'll go with a real
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: comedy show. Just this Byron Allen is a genius. This
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: guy was a comedian, stand-up comedian. Then he got into
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: the business end. He's now a billionaire. This Comics Unleashed,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: if you watch the way they produce it, it's four comedians.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: He interviews them. And they actually beforehand, they give the
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: producers all their best routines, their best material. And they
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: write up questions to get those routines out. So it's
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: pretty scripted. Although it doesn't look it, but it ends up,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: everything is very funny. It's a very funny show. There's
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: no political jokes, not even topical jokes. It's just funny stuff.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: They tape five of them in one day. So it's
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: one day in the studio. And it's a very economical,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: cheap show to do. As opposed to Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: where you've got an orchestra, you've got an audience you've
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: got to bring in and out every day. Although Kimmel
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: and Fallon have been doing so poorly that they quietly
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: just cut those shows down to four days a week,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: three days a week. They don't even do a show
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: every day. So Kimmel will go off the air in May.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: That'll be the end to him. That's two down. One
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: to go. Well, actually, you can leave. One thing about
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Fallon, he really is genuinely a comedian. So when
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: he sees the writing on the wall, he'll switch the
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Tonight Show back to comedy. There'll be no more Trump
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: derangement syndrome throughout the monologue. Let's go back to a
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: straight comedy show. And he'll do very well that way.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: He can pull that off. So NFL Tonight, opening night.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Halloween stuff is everywhere. Do you know I was walking
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: by a house yesterday, 64th? Between Madison and Park. It
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: was the first house I saw with the Halloween decorations up.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Already decorated for Halloween. Absolutely ridiculous. But it's starting. So, hey, 9-11.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: You know Howard Lutnick? He's the Commerce Secretary. He was
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the chairman of the hedge fund, Cantor Fitzgerald. Big, huge fund.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: And all their offices were in the World Trade Center.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: And Lutnick had a couple of floors of the World
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Trade Center. In 9-11, he lost hundreds and hundreds and
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: hundreds of employees. They were killed, almost lost the whole company.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Somehow he rebuilt it. It survived and thrived. And Lutnick
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: is the chairman. He would have normally been there, but something,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: his wife couldn't pick up the kids from school. So
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: she asked him, could he do it that one day?
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: And that's the only reason he wasn't there. President Trump
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: talking about this.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: This was the first time in years that he wasn't
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: there early in the morning. So you could say he
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: owes a lot to his son and he owes a
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: lot to his wife. But he brought his son to school.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: And because of that, he got to see it from
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: the West Side Highway. He saw the planes go into
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: the towers and he said, oh, my God, my people,
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: my people.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: So a lot of these cases of people that normally
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: would have been there The great chef restaurateur, Michael Lomonaco,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: he ran the, remember the beautiful restaurant on the top,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Windows on the World? He was the guy running it.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: He would have been there. Something happened. He had a
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: doctor's appointment or something. So one day he wasn't there
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: in the morning. Amazing. Just amazing stories from there. You know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I was talking about this yesterday. These ceremonies every year,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: I don't like, I don't like, We're going through this.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I hate reliving it. It's the 25th anniversary, so it'll
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: be a huge ceremony. And yesterday I said, in Pearl Harbor,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: in Hawaii, do they still do this every year? Do
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: they still put themselves through this every year? It's kind
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: of painful to relive it. But do they have a
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: ceremony every year? Do they make a big deal? I
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: was talking about that yesterday. I actually called people in
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Hawaii and asked them. Yes, they do. Every year. It's
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: a huge event. It's on television. If you're in Hawaii,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: it's on all your television stations. Every year, even this year,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: it's 85 years later. It's still a massive event there.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: And it's quite a ceremony every year in Pearl Harbor.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not, Japanese government officials fly over for it,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: participate in the ceremony, and give apologies. And it's a
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: major ceremony every year in Pearl Harbor. And apparently this
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: will be in December, the first year they do the
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: ceremony without any survivors there. The last survivor died recently.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Last year they had one survivor there, but they still
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: do it every year. Hey, we've got a lot to
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: get to. We'll get to the governor's race. Interesting poll
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: that just came out. We'll get to Lindsey Clancy and
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: a whole lot more coming up. Mark Simone here, 9
• 16:28

• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the gap. You know, he was something like 25 points
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: behind when he started the race, but that's okay when
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: he ran in Nassau County and Nassau County has the
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: same exact demographics makeup as the state of New York.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: He was 25 points behind and he just kept rising
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: and rising and rising in the polls. And he caught
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: up and next thing you know, he won and he
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: won big. So you'll see the same pattern here. He
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: was 25 points behind when he began and Remember the
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: last time I told you about this, he was like
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: 10 points behind. Well, in the latest, Bruce Blakeman is
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: four points behind. Four points behind with a long way
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: to go. And remember, the campaign doesn't really begin until now.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: It's on in the summer, but it doesn't really start
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: until after Labor Day. So now you're going to see
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Blakeman really pick up steam. He's four points behind, 49
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: to 47. Pretty amazing. Now, the other thing in this
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: poll is, More than half the voters, 55%, don't have
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: a favorable view of Kathy Hochul. And you can understand why.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Majority of voters, 56%, think it's time to give someone
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: else a chance to do better. There is a 38%
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: that thinks she's done well as governor. I don't know
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: who these 38% are, but they're just victims of fake
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: news and reading the New York Times and... Now, there's
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: other studies out. These are not as accurate as McLaughlin,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: but the Gallup, the Washington Post poll, the media polls
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: that show that data centers have become an issue. 70%
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: opposed building these data centers, but it's actually becoming a
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: midterm issue. Now, the data centers, they make a hell
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: of a lot of noise if you've got one in
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: your neighborhood. It's going to make a lot of noise
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: all night long. These big turbines, it's a noise, a hum, vibration.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: You get all that stuff. It's very annoying. It's like
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: living next to an airport. There's no danger of any
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: kind from a data center. It's just noisy. They don't
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: use that much water. They figured out how to recycle water.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: So now they don't use that much water anymore. The
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: electricity problem they've solved. So at some point, they'll solve
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: the noise problem. In fact, Elon Musk, is building the
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: biggest data center in the world. And he's working on,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: instead of using these conventional turbines and coolers and the
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: systems they use, building his own. He'll figure out a
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: way to make them quiet, so that'll solve that problem.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: But they've demonized these data centers enough so people treat
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: them like they're nuclear plants. You remember the same thing
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: happened with the nuclear plants? And they were yelling and
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: screaming how dangerous they were. The most dangerous thing, the
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: nuclear plant, was so dangerous it could kill us all.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: It got to the point where Cuomo actually shut down
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: our Indian Point nuclear plant. The result was your electric
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: bill went up like 400% because of that. That was 25%
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: of our electricity. So shutting it down has cost you
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of money and was perfectly safe. There was
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: never a problem, never any threat from Indian Point. You
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: could argue, well, you have a disposing of the nuclear rods.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: That's hazardous. They've got to be transported. Well, they've solved
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: that problem now, too. There's nothing dangerous about these nuclear plants. Hey, now,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul, she's seen all these same polls. She sees
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: she's falling behind. She sees she's likely to lose this race.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: So she's panicking. She's announcing all kinds of things. She's
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: not big with the Jewish community because she's a Mamdani-loving Democrat,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: so she's got a problem there. So yesterday she announced
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: a $ 70 million boost for synagogue security. $ 70 million she's
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: pledged to increase synagogue security ahead of the Jewish high holidays.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute. Let's look at the fine print here.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: First of all, it's already 35. She's just adding 35
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: to it. Also, it's not scheduled. This is for the
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: 2027 fiscal year budget. So it's not going to start
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: in time. Hate crimes are through the roof. She mentioned
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: that she said anti-Semitic incidents are more than half of
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: the hate crimes for the first time ever. She forgot
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: to mention that she's one of the people responsible for
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: it with her support of Mamdani. Nobody has done more
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: to increase anti-Semitism in Jewish hate crime than Mamdani, and
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: she just keeps putting her arm around him and embracing him. Hey,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: remember we told you yesterday, Prince Charles, King Charles, you've
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: got to remember, King Charles can't stand Harry and Meghan.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Harry's his son, that's a little different, but obviously he
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: hates this Meghan. And as long as Harry is married
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: to this creepy little Meghan Markle, the king is going
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: to treat them like crap. So as we explained yesterday,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: he put out a letter to every inch of the
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: British government, to everybody. And they made sure to leak
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: it out to the press. It went to everybody, this
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: letter from King Charles stating that Harry and Meghan have
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with the royal family. They have no
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: connection to the royal family. They are not in any
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: way part of the royal family, that anything they do, commercial, charitable,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: they're doing it as private citizens. It's basically, uh, whispering
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: to everybody, don't do anything for these people. Don't give
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: them any work. Don't do anything. Stay the hell away
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: from them. We have no connection with them. But the reaction, well,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: so far there hasn't been any reaction, except the spokesman
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: for them said they were a little surprised to have
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: not been told about this. Well, you see, that's another thing.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: That makes it sound even worse if their father, King
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Charles's father, And her father-in-law, he'd said to them, or
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: had somebody explain to him, listen, we're going to put
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: out this letter. We just want to let you know.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: So it was not even that courtesy. None of that.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: They were caught off guard by it. The couple's team
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: received the letter, which was pretty bad, just shy of
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: 2 p.m. U.K. time. It was sent to Harry and
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Meghan Markle's team, to every inch of U.S. government, to
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: the military, to the Lord Lieutenants. And they made sure
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: to leak it out to the press, really, really trying
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: to shut down these two and make sure nobody gives
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: them anything or any courtesy. So they couldn't get anything
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: going in the United States. They couldn't find any work, anything.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: So they left and went back to England. They expect
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: them to pick up and leave in a few months
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: after nothing happens. Probably wait till the end of the
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: school year. They got kids. And then when is that?
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: In May, June, June. All you other countries in the world, beware.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: You might get stuck with these two idiots. Hey, we've
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: got a lot more to get to. Don't go away.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Never forget, three hours every day, 9 to noon. 9
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: to noon right here on 710WOR. It's the Mark Simone Show.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: 0-7-10. I remember I told you the Carnegie Deli is
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: coming back. The Carnegie Deli being built as we speak.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: It will not be in its original location. There's some
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: store there that's taking the lease. But it will reopen
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: down the street about a block away in what was
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: the Stage Deli, their arch rival for decades. But so
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: the Carnegie would be where the Stage Deli was. And
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: here's the latest news. It will reopen next week. By
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: the end of next week, it should be open. So
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: a week from today or tomorrow, Carnegie Deli will be back.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: There'll be no reservations. It's just first come, first serve.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: There'll be 100 seats in there. The space for the
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: stage is not as big as the old Carnegie Deli space,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: but it'll reopen next week. Hey, also, check out my Instagram.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of stuff up there. MarkSimoneNYC at Instagram.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: MarkSimoneNYC at Instagram. and make sure you follow me there.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: So Iran, listen, I'm looking at the oil prices here.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I'm just checking the price of oil. Now, see, it's
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: up again. It's up $ 2 today. It's getting high. It's
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: starting to spike. Price of oil, $ 95 a barrel. It's
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: going to hit $ 96 in a second, $ 96 a barrel.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: That's high. Brent crude, which is the European stuff, we
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: don't use Brent crude, but Brent crude is at $ 100
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: a barrel. All right, this is getting high. Now, what
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: is the reason for this sudden spike? Well, the Strait
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: of Hormuz has been open for a couple of months now,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: and oil is moving through there. Tankers are moving through there.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: The government's saying they were moving 9 million barrels a
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: day and sometimes 15 million barrels a day. Well, a
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: lot of people now are getting reports that that number
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: is greatly exaggerated, that they're not actually moving that much
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: oil through there. That's hard to believe. A government would lie.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: It's hard to believe a Trump administration would exaggerate anything,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: but word is coming out that we're not actually moving
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: that much oil through there. So that's the reason for
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the spike today. Hey, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: the number. Let's go to Sal in Eastchester. Sal, how
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: you doing?
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark. Regarding the affordability prices, it's It's the taxes,
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: the property taxes, the school taxes that are causing the
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: problems with people being unable to afford a home. My payment.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: No, I understand. We've been saying that for weeks. The
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: number one expense that people pay is taxes. They pay
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: now more in taxes than they pay in food, in energy.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: That's the you're right. And the president, hopefully he'll get
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: that into the message. The problem with the Republicans right now,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: they don't have the messaging solid enough. but affordability crisis
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: is a big issue. Instead of saying there is no
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: affordability crisis, point that out, that the number one expense
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: for most people now is taxes. It's above food costs.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: It's above energy costs. Taxes are the number one expense,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: and that should be the message, that you don't want
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: to vote in a party that's going to increase these taxes.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: You don't want to vote in a party that's going
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: to create these taxes. Now, The other thing they should
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: do is just announce huge tax cuts for everybody. Everybody.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: You can do it easily. Just stop wasting money if
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: you're the government. You don't need to bring in that
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: much money. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: you doing?
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: I think Mamdani releasing these files is clearly political. I mean,
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: it doesn't help that he takes a genius to figure
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: that part.
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: Out of it.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: But there's two quick things.
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: One.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: I noticed that Governor Pataki announced that he was suffering
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: some ailment related to the Ground Zero stuff a week ago.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: So that was interesting that they kind of coincided, the
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: two announcements. And the other thing is, and this isn't
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: just a platitude that Mandani should be reminded of, that
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: none of these files would be necessary or would exist
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: if Muslim terrorists didn't fly planes into the towers.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Well, that's true. Yeah, Pataki announcing that he's suffering from
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: some 9-11 illness, but maybe he knew the files were
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: coming out. Maybe he wanted to give them something.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: That's what I think, yeah. I mean, I'm sure he
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: knew they existed, obviously. He was the governor.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what? That's true. The Mamdani administration found
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: them buried in a basement at City Hall. But you're right.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: They must have known.
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: All right, Mike.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: And it's clearly political, especially with guys like Stewart attached
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: to it, who... I could, uh, you know, do without
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: as far as.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Uh, he's okay on this. It's one good thing.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: On this issue.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: All right. Thanks for calling. Let's go to a line two.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: You're on the air line two. How you doing?
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: Hi, this is Tori.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, Tori.
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: Um, I'm calling for two things. One, I wanted to
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: say that, um, I don't understand where all the 9-11
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: money that was collected for the victims went.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Well, hopefully it went to them.
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: Well, that was my hope, too. But I know that
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: you were saying before, like, all the people that were
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: left behind. But I thought we tried to cover all them.
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: There's commercials all the time for that.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Well, that's that Tunnel to Towers Foundation. They do good work.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: They provide homes and stuff for the 9-11 families. Yes.
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: And the other thing I wanted to say, you were
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: asking why do we remember, like, do they really remember Hawaii?
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: And I went to a service once for the Holocaust.
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: I'm a minister. And on my way there, I was thinking,
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: why do we do that? And then I got there
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: and I realized why we do it. Because if we
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: don't remember the past, We're going to repeat the past.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: You don't remember the people.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. Where are you a minister?
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: In Jackson, New Jersey.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, all right. Well, that's very good.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: A great adventure.
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Keep up the good work. Thanks for calling. One more.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Let's go to George in Port Jefferson. George, how are
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: you doing?
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: I'm great, Mark. Just to quote your opinion about Andrew Cuomo,
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: do you think he has any more political.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Future here in the United States?
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: He didn't have any political future two years ago. Nobody
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: told him. That run for mayor was about the dumbest
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: thing ever. He had absolutely no chance of winning. Absolutely zero.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: He was the most hated guy in New York. Can
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: you imagine how delusional you have to be? He had
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: to leave his job in disgrace. He was governor. He
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: had to leave in disgrace. He fled Albany with the
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: police chasing him, and he thinks he can run again?
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: It was insane.
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: Can I ask one more question?
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead.
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: I know Curtis. I was a court clerk, so I
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: know Curtis. I kind of like him. He's kind of
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: a chop buster. But they really try to blame Curtis.
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: I'm just making a statement. They really try to blame
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: Curtis that Cuomo did.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no. Curtis had nothing to do with it.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: If Curtis had never run and he took every vote
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: he got and gave it to Cuomo, he still lost.
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but they.
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: Try to blame Curtis. That's all I want to say.
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: No, I understand. But if you're a guy like Cuomo,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: you always blame somebody else. That's what guys like Cuomo do.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: It's never their fault. Again, you can't leave and disgrace
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: the police are chasing them out of Albany and then
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: try to run again. It's like Nixon one year after
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Watergate trying to run again. You can't do it. Maybe
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: if you waited 10 years, maybe. And if you did
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: something wonderful... in those 10 years and redeemed yourself. Maybe
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: it could run again, but Cuomo, now I give him
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: credit for one thing. He knows what we've been telling
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: you for all along. The big donors, when it comes
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: to politics, the big donors are always wrong. They don't
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: know what the hell they're doing. And he very carefully,
• 32:38
