  Speaker 1: Even Governor Abbott of Texas is starting to back off
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on these AI centers. Now, one thing about these AI centers,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: they'll bring a fortune to your state. They'll bring you money.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: They'll lower taxes. They'll bring you jobs, construction. So Abbott
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: was all for it. He let the data centers open
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: all over the place. Now he's changing it. Now he's
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: saying you've got to stop. Well, one reason, he wanted
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: data from them. He wanted them to supply data. How
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: much electricity are you using? How much water are you using?
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And they wouldn't supply the data. So he's changing his tune.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I am now coming in as governor saying, listen, if
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: you're a data center and you want to operate in Texas,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: you have to first get the approval of those in
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: local communities. And that's why I set that standard. No
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: data centers disturbing local communities in Texas.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's a big change. Eight months ago, he
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: was waving them in. Now he's a. saying we got
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to know more before you can come here.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: They had not been working in collaboration with the state.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: They had not been working in collaboration with local governments.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: And so they basically dug their own grave for the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: problem that's been caused for them. And that's why they
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: got the backlash they deserve. And that's why these new
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: standards are in place to make sure they're not going
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to be able to operate until they come into compliance
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: with the standards that.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I have set. Okay, big change of tune from Governor Abbott.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: You got problems with the, here's the problems with the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: data center. One, it uses so much electricity, you know,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: drains the electricity from the town. Well, okay. That problem
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you can solve. That can be solved. They can start
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to produce their own electricity and they have a lot
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: of times extra electricity. They can give it back to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the grid. The other problem is they use so much
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: water for cooling. They use so much water, use up
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the water supply. Well, that, They've figured out the solution
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to that is they'll just use a little water and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: just keep recycling it in the data center. The other
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: problem is the noise. That's a problem. They are very,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: very noisy. So like the one in Virginia is right
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: next to Dulles Airport, which is already noisy. So that's
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a pretty good idea. You can't complain about the noise
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: when you're living next to an airport anyway. So you
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: got to just figure out where to put them. The
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: noise goes for about a half mile. and really about
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a mile. So if you put them somewhere where they're
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a mile away from residential places, you're fine. But even
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the president, who was all for these data centers, now
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: he's putting a little disclaimer in there about the, listen,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: there's a little disclaimer, but you gotta be careful where
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you put it.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: If you pick the right location, and it's gotta be,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: not every location's perfect for it, but you pick the
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: right location, what it means for a community is jobs
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and lots of money and lower taxes. And the data
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: centers now are mandated by me.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: That they build their own electricity.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: So they're not taking it for the grid.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: All right, that's good. The electricity problem solved water problems,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: easy to solve, but this is the first time he's
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: actually said, you can't just put them anywhere. He actually,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: for the first time, if.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: You pick the right location and it's gotta be, not
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: every location is perfect for it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Okay. So that's the difference. You got to find the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: right location. Now, what is this noise problem? How, how
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: noisy are these data centers? Well, Here's the reason for
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: all the noise. A data center is thousands, thousands of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: powerful computer servers. And they're running 24-7. They never stop.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And because of that, they generate massive amounts of heat.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And that requires heavy industrial cooling and power equipment to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: prevent meltdowns. You have to keep getting rid of that heat.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: You have to keep cooling them down. That's where the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: noise comes from. So thousands of small Internal fans spin
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: at very high speeds inside the server racks and it
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: creates a high-pitched whine or a loud hum up to
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: 90 decibels. Then you have to have massive diesel or
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: gas turbine generators and they test regularly. They kick on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: during power cuts and they produce a heavy rumble up
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to 110 decibels. Then you got large mechanical fans and compressors.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: They admit low frequency noise and vibrations that travel thousands
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: of feet further than normal high-pitched city sounds and easily
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: can pass through walls and trees. So that's the problem. Now,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: this noise is really bad up to 1,500 feet away.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: About a half a mile, it's really bad. It's not
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: so bad up to a mile away, but it's still there.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: You get a low frequency hum That you can hear
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a mile away. So half a mile away, you just
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: can't be living there. A mile away is fine. So
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you got to find a place where they're a mile
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: away from any residential neighborhood. They also they do produce
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: low level non ionizing electromagnetic fields. Now, scientists say that's
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: not a problem because you get the same thing from
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: common office equipment. They do pose a little health risk,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: primarily through air pollution, because they've got those big backup
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: diesel generators. So that can cause a little pollution. The
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: biggest data center right now, Meta, owns the largest data center,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: 4.5 million square feet. That's in Pineville, Oregon. But that's
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: one facility. That's the largest single facility. But by total
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: combined facilities, the biggest data center user, Amazon. Largest overall operator, Amazon.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And Elon Musk is about to build the largest data
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: center in the world. In fact, when he builds it,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it'll be the largest building ever in the history of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the world. Something like 40 million square feet. It's absolutely crazy. Hey,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: those weight loss drugs, you know, the Ozempic and what's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the other one? There's a whole bunch of them. Wegovi
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and there's the one with the Zimpac or whatever that is.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: That's the better one too, everybody says. But how many
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: people take those? You know, everybody you know is suddenly
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: losing weight. Now, sometimes you see somebody, oh, you lost
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: some weight. You can tell they were working out. They
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: went on a diet. But sometimes they lose too much
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: weight and they keep losing and losing and losing and losing.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: So you know they're on those shots. And sometimes you
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: see people who look, wow, they look great on that show.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Look how much weight they lost. But then they keep
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: using it and then they lose even more weight and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: they start to look bad. You know what I'm telling you.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: You've got friends like that. They start looking too thin,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: too bad. Their face is sagging. But how many people
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: altogether are taking those shots in America? How many? How
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: many takes even? It was 3% two years ago. It
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: used to be 3%. How many are taking them now?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It's 11%.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: 11%.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of people in America. It was 3%.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: It's now 11% on those weight loss drugs. It's affecting
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of things, especially the restaurant business. People are
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: ordering less. You know, you get two people, a couple
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: on Ozempic. Now they order one entree and that's it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And they split it because they can't eat a whole one.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Some restaurants are putting together Ozempic menus where they give
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: you a little small portion. It's a problem for bars because,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you know, it affects your appetite, not only for food,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: but for alcohol. So when you're on Ozempic stuff, you
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: can't drink as much. So some restaurants, bars now putting
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: out Ozempic drinks. Because people can barely drink a drink.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: So they put these, it's like every drink's in a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: shot glass. Mini martinis, that sort of stuff. Hillary Clinton,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: she's back. She's all over the place. She wants this nomination. Again,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: she's the old woman in Sunset Boulevard thinking she can
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: make a comeback. It's a sad, sad political story, Hillary Clinton.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: She's the first lady. She's the senator. She's the secretary
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: of state. She screws up everything she touches. But she
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: thinks she can win. So she finally, her moment comes, 2016.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: This is her moment. She runs for president. Donald Trump,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a total amateur. Never been in politics. Takes it away
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: from her. And remember the last time she ran for
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the nomination. Barack Obama. A guy with no experience. A
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: guy was a senator for five minutes before that. He
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: was a community organizer. No resume. Wiped her out. Wiped
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: her out. took the nomination from her. So it's a
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: sad story. So she sits up there in Chappaqua and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: alone in that big house drinking and like the old
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: woman in Sunset Boulevard plotting that comeback. So now she's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: doing a lot of TV shows and she's trying to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: show that she can go after Donald Trump. You want
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: a Trump basher? You want somebody to stop Trump? Why,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: that's me. Well, everybody remembers 2016. You got wiped out
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: in three debates. You were the worst at stopping him.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: In fact, it's because of you, he's president, because you
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: couldn't stop him. So she's going after everything. You know,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Trump wants to build things in Washington, the ballroom, the arch.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: That arch would look like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Magnificent.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: You know, where all the boulevards come together. It's beautiful.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: So it's a nice idea to have one in Washington.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: It's nothing to do with Trump. It would just be
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a beautiful, another beautiful monument in Washington. But there she
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: is going after that. She's running around doing every podcast,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: every show, every this.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: I think they'll have to be Some probably have to
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: take down the arch, which he is determined to put up,
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: which I think is just just a terrible idea. I
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: think we'll have to worry about the reflecting pool because
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: it's not going to be fixed by the time he leaves.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: It'll be fine. So that's she's admitting when a Democrat,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: if if if a Democrat ever takes office, you're going
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to start tearing down things, tear down the arch, tear
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: down the ballroom, all of this. But here's this woman.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know who else. you think she's talking to anymore.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: It's sad that it's so tackied up and it is
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: it's a reflection of, you know, his narcissistic personality and
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: his need to feel important, including sticking gold coins. embellishments
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: all over the walls of the Oval Office.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Well, she's not entirely wrong on that. I like what
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: he did, putting some gold in the office, a little
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: trim there, but he did put a little too much.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: It's a little too much. It looks like that queen
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: of Versailles, that woman in Boca Raton who over-decorates her house.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: It looks a little like that. And it's nice to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: put those beautiful old paintings of the president up on
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the walls. but maybe five or six, not 150 of them,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: not every inch of the wall. So she may have
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a point there, but every president comes in, changes the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Oval Office. They repaint it. They change the carpet, the curtains.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they change the desk. So yeah, you will have to,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you're going to have to remove some of that gold.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: She's not wrong about that one. But she thinks it's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: kind of sad that he has an ego, like he's
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: trying to feel important. Well, first of all, he's literally,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: The most important man in the world, literally. He's the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: biggest guy in the world. He's the most famous man
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: on earth, literally. So you don't really have to worry
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: about feeling important. Second of all, talk about feeling, trying
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to feel important. Look at her running around pontificating about everything.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: You know, Trump's got a problem coming up. I don't
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: know if he's ever thought about this. He was a
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: real estate developer. They did a lot of stuff, Brooklyn Queens.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Comes to Manhattan, conquers Manhattan, becomes president. A bit of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: a famous guy becomes famous. Then he becomes more famous.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Then he just kept rising and rising and rising until
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: he's like very, he became like the most famous business
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: guy in America. Then he gets a TV show and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: he becomes the number one show on television. He conquers TV.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: He builds apartment buildings all over the biggest apartment buildings
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: all over the place. Then he decides he'll build golf
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: courses and hotels. which he hadn't done before, but he
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: starts doing it. All of a sudden, he's got a
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: million success. He's a big success in the hotel world,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: big success in the golf world, big in the golf.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Then he decides to go into politics. He gets elected
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: president of the United States. That's pretty impressive. You ever
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: see an amateur try to run for, I'll run for mayor,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a total amateur, or run for Congress. Well, once in
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a while they make it. But a total amateur, first
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: attempt at anything, runs for president and wins. Then he
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: wins again, second time president. Now he's the biggest guy
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: on earth, but he's a guy who always keeps rising
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to the next level, always achieving the next thing, always climbing.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: So the problem now is what does he do next?
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: He's done. I don't know if he realizes it. There's
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: nowhere else to go after this. You can't get any
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: bigger than this. It's pretty much, it's it. There's nothing
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: else he can do. I don't know if he's thought
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: about that, but knowing him, he'll think of something that
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: nobody ever thought of. No ex-president ever thought of. You know,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: there's another party that's been formed now. Tucker Carlson, Marjorie
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Taylor Greene, remember her? And a bunch of those types
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: have formed a new party. They are anti-MAGA or whatever
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: they are. They're not Republicans, but they're going to form
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: their own party now. And this is good for Republicans
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: because it takes a lot of the wackos and extremists
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: out of the party and puts them into this thing.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: And their whole theme is the president promised no new wars. Well,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: he never promised anything of the sort. Never said that.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: If you go back and go through all the campaign speeches,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: there are times where he said no more stupid wars.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: He said no more endless wars. No, he never made
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a promise there'd be no new wars. I mean, obviously,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: nobody in their right mind, it wouldn't be rational for
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: a president to promise that there are times you might
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: need to go to a war. And why would he care?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: He was pushing for a stronger military, more weapons, more this,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: more that. Obviously, You want to be ready. And if
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you study interviews with Donald Trump going back 40 years,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: for 40 years he's been talking about going after Iran
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and removing that regime. For 40 years he's been talking
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: about that. He has not ever promised no new wars.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: But it's good to have this. This party will get
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the wackos out of the party. It will become like
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the Alex Jones party. Sort of party. Hey, we got
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: a lot more coming. It's our special holiday show. Don't
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: go away. There's a lot more just ahead. Jack, how
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Mark, we want you on for 24 hours a day.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait. Hang on, hang on. Does this guy
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: sound like he's from Providence? He's got a little New York-ish.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Where are you from, really?
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: I'm originally from the Bronx, so we moved up to
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Rhode Island because, you know, the Bronx got a little...
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: There's no malls in the Bronx. There's one they built
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: that they finally built.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: Anyway.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Where are you in Providence? Right in the city?
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: I'm on the south side. That's my home, Brown University.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: But listen, it's a little less a pace of life
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: up there. I still miss the Bronx and.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: New York City.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: But the thing is, Mark, we have to stop legal immigration.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: We're letting a million and a half third worlders in
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: every single year, 100 million total over 50, 60 years,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: and people are scratching their heads why this is a
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: third world country. We have a colony in China. The
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: top communist leaders.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. What are you so
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: upset about? Calm down. Do you understand these people? As
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: soon as they wake up, we have to stop. I
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: don't think he's from Providence. I don't think so. Let's
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: go to Randall in Maryland. Randall, how you doing?
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Hi, Mark. Mark, in the old days, you were a
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: celebrity because you were somebody special. Now you're something special
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: because you're a celebrity.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a lot of buttering up. I mean, it's
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: very flattering. I don't know what all this buttering up
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: is about, but I hear a butt coming. What's the butt?
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Well, no, I'm talking about.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: There's a butt coming.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: Be nice.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Meghan and Harry, you don't have to worry about them.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: They're celebrities.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: That's their stock and trade. That's just like your mayor
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: and my governor.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: No, Megan and Harry are two of the most useless idiots,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: two of the most annoying people on earth.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: I agree. I agree. But why are they so important?
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Anyway, thanks for calling. What is he talking about? Who
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: said they were important? We like to make fun of them.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: They're just nice to make fun of. Obviously, they're not important. Otherwise,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: they'd get a job. Let's go to Ralph in Manhattan. Ralph,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: Mark, you made a staggering statement.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. We don't like people with deeper voices than me.
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: I try to i try to do soprano oh did
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: you used to be on the radio or something you
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: sound great you're a big radio voice oh i appreciate
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: that yeah i do a little radio but there's the
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: um i appreciate that the uh You know, 17%, you're
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: talking about a huge, huge number. Every time I walk
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: down the street, Manhattan, 9th Avenue, wherever I am, I
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: can't get away from the pot. There's nowhere that they
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: won't smoke. They smoke constantly, constantly, constantly. But I would
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: say I make one plea, Mark.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Let me just say, I think the 17% is a
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: national figure. In Manhattan, it might be 75%. But if
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: you're walking around Garden City, Long Island, it's probably 0%.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: You got it. You got it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: The one plea that I would say, just if you're
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: going to smoke your pot, just smoke in the privacy
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: of your own home.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Just do it.
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: Don't put it on me. I'm out there trying to
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: exercise at 6 o'clock. At 6 o'clock in the morning, Mark,
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: it's fascinating. When we have breakfast, they're smoking pot.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Yeah. That's a good point. You know, I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: got allergies. I can't smell. I really can't smell anything
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: when I go out there. So I'm fine. I'm walking
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: down the street, enjoying myself, whoever I'm with, going, oh,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: my God, the smell. It's like this allergy is the
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: best thing you're going to have. You don't smell anything
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: in New York. Let's go to Richard in Bayshore. Richard,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: how are you doing? I'm doing well.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: Good morning.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: I heard this morning that Larry Mendte and Curtis had.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Pulled ahead of Sid in the Morning in the ratings.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true. They're pretty even. uh
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: it's always very.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Close did you're getting the extra hour have anything to
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: do with that no no.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: No no no no i you know what it is
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: uh everybody's lying about their ratings everywhere i mean i've
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: heard guys give out fake numbers a 7.4 to a
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: 1.4 it's absolutely not true there's no such number so
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: if one side's going to make up numbers the other
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: side makes up numbers you'll notice right i never say
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: a word because i don't have to make up numbers
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: but uh both up listen there's A couple of morning shows,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: they're both great. They both do very, very well. And
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: it's a nice business. It's a fun radio business. It's
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: a big community. No reason to fight with everybody. Oh,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: let's go to Chris, Beth Page. Chris, how you doing?
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: Hey, Mark. I think you should personally hire me to
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: screen calls because that first guy from Providence was Steve
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: from Manhattan. I know that guy anyway. He's the Gold
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: Beach County guy. You know what's funny?
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: They always try to lie, and they say, I'm calling
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you from Idaho. But when the guy calls, he goes,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: how are you, with that accent. Like you're not going
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: to spot him.
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: Hey, the reason why I did call Mark was because I.
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: Want to agree with what you guys were saying before
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: about Mendami. You don't think he's, you know, he's going
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: to be relatively harmless. But Bruce Blakeman, I would be
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: out there 24-7. You've got to campaign against him. that's
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: the key that's the key to him getting elected.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah well he does he does do that he does
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: do that yep yeah he is campaigning 24 7 he
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: is always always always bashing hokal and tying her to
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: mom donnie and it's a good thing to do you're
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: right Hey, we got a lot more coming up. Of course,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: follow her on Twitter. And Substack. Sign up for Substack.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: You can get interviews and podcasts and videos and all
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: sorts of stuff there. AnnCoulter.substack.com. Ann Coulter, how you doing? Fantastic.
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: How are you, Mark Simone?
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I'm good. Hey, did you hear our crazy governor, Kathy Hochul,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: she and the legislature passed a law that no local
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: police are allowed to cooperate with ICE. Now, listen to
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the first sentence she says here.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: Local police will assist ICE only if a real crime
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: has been committed.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Now, what does that mean?
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: I love this, that liberals are going to decide what
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: a real crime is. This is like Susan Estridge's book,
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: Real Rape, suggesting that.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: When, you know, that whole date rape thing that, oh, no,
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: that's just the same as as a stranger jumping out
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: from behind the bushes. No, no, that really is. But
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: a crime is a crime. And ICE isn't wasting its
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: time on, I don't know, jaywalkers.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you it is if you broke into
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the country illegally and you're here illegally, isn't that a
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: real crime, too?
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: Yes, it is. Yes, it is. It's one that the
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: American people are quite upset about, I might add. That's
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: the main crime the voters would like Trump to be enforcing.
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: You think that's what she means? Absolutely not to help
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: them enforce just being here illegally?
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's saying that's not a real crime. You can
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: only cooperate on a real crime, just here illegally.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: Well, on the other hand, I mean, every state official
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: in New York doesn't think Rape and murder are real crimes. Well,
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: maybe murder, maybe murder. But muggings, pushing somebody in front
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: of a subway, harassing people, chasing them down the sidewalk,
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: breaking and entering, those are all crap on the wrist crimes.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: So if we're using Kathy Hochul's and D.A. Bragg's interpretation of, quote,
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: real crime, it pretty much comes down to, well, okay,
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: I'll give them murder and terrorism.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, and did you watch Al Sayad on TV
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the other night talking about how ISIS running around shooting
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: people in the face? What was he talking about?
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: I guess they're really obsessed with the whole Minnesota thing.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: I don't think anybody was shot in the face. I
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: did like his comparison of clitorectomies and gender operations poisoning
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: and mutilating little kids. to simply being circumcised. That was good.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's like if the Iranians chop your arm
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: off and he would say, well, you get a manicure,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: don't you? That's the same thing.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: That's a very good comparison, yes. Yeah, I don't think
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: he's doing so well. Though there was a lot of
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: hope for him among the progressives. I mean, I guess
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: we'll see. but he seems to be bungling a lot
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: of things recently. Yeah.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Hey, Ann Coulter, I don't know if you heard this.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton is speaking at something yesterday, and they asked
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: her about these Democratic socialists and figuring she'll denounce it.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: She didn't. She kind of embraced it. She said, like,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: it's a wonderful experiment. What is she embracing that for?
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Is she thinking that's going to help her run in 2028?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I get.
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: The impression from a lot of these Democrats, it's like,
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: It's like your parents trying to be cool. They think
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: this is what the young kids like.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Well, that's kind of what you said.
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: I don't really get that crazy music they're listening to,
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: but let's offer them a cocktail and say we want
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: to smoke some weed. It just seems really sort of embarrassing.
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: So, hey, you wrote this book, Demonic, and we were
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: talking about this last week at Democrats always have to
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: find some evil boogeyman and run against that. And is
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: it now the data centers? You know, they act like
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: they're nuclear plants or some of these data centers. We
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: have to live in fear of them.
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: I am so glad you mentioned that. No, it's it's
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: really nuts. I can't get to the bottom of it.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: It seems to me it's based on. At least from
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: what I've read of the story about this. Well, one thing,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: and I don't like this on my side, I don't
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: care if you call it, quote, populism, this hatred of
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: people who are rich. I'm not rich. I'm not a billionaire.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: I'm not a centimillionaire. But I think it's fantastic that
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: people like Jeff Bezos and even the Google guys. Google's
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: pretty great. They've done great things to improve all of
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: our lives. And a lot of it, I think, is envy.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: I talked about this on my podcast on Monday. I
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: also figured out that global warming is all about envy.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: They were so happy about all these billionaires' houses around Manchin, Miami. Ha, ha, ha,
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: global warming. They're all going to be underwater. So part
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: of it, I think, is hate of the rich. But
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: the other thing is, Some of the AI, you know, founders, promoters,
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: whether it's to get more investment in their little projects.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: Or just because they want people to find them fascinating
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: and ask them, no, tell us how AI is going
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: to destroy humanity. It's absurd, Marc Simone. It's utterly, imposterously absurd.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: And I've been running, whoa, we are a long way
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: off from AI taking over some gigantic chunk of jobs.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: They'll take over a bunch of jobs. Well, so did
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: the internet. So did the computer. I mean, what happened
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: to travel agents? What happened to journalists? Oh, well, we adjusted.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: Would anybody say the Internet has not made all of
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: our lives better? And if you look at the capacity
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: of AI now, I'm always sending these out on my subsection,
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: just like basic questions you ask Google AI or Brock,
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: and they can't find them. I can find them. They
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: lie to you. It's preposterous, some of the answers you get.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but just the fear of the data center. They
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: use a lot of electricity. That problem can be solved.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: The water, they use too much water.
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: They don't really, by the way. They tend to generate
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: their own, and of course they pay for it, but
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: they do a lot of self-generation. Same thing with the water.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: They rerun the water through the same plants. I mean,
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: I keep hearing that they're going up right next to,
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: you know, beautiful farms and farmland. Well, I don't know. Maybe.
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: I don't think most of them are. And that seems
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: like kind of an easy solution if it's just a
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: matter of real estate. Okay, move it to an uglier
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: industrial part of town.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the only real problem, they do make noise.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: There's a low hum. There's a loud hum. There's the
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: sound of a turbine. But so what? I mean, just
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: put them somewhere else. But people live near airports.
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: Exactly. Yes. No, airports, great comparison. Great comparison. Yeah, okay.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: Don't put them quite so close. You want them close
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: because you want your data being stored, and this is
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: what makes the world go around. I just think all
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: of these– and I will add this. This is also in– demonic,
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: I believe it was demonic, that an aspect of this
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: groupthink and mobthink is a fear of inventions and newness,
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: as you mostly see with liberals. They want us to
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: go back to farming like we're in colonial times. We
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: have to get rid of indoor plumbing and use, what
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: do they call that, clivus multrum? And what's a crazy
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: thing going on in New York where you're supposed to
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: be composting food from your tiny little Manhattan apartment? I'm
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: saying mad.
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: No, we have things.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: Called trash compactors, you complete idiots. So I'm very much
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: against this hysteria over progress and innovation. Every innovation, every
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: invention has always been said, oh, humans, we're going to
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: have nothing to do. It's the end of humanity. And
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: it's never, ever happened. Going back to the wheel.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, also, Democrats, one by one, they alienate every part
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: of their base. They got rid of factory workers who
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: are now become Republicans. A lot of minorities now supporting
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the Republicans. Aren't they alienating the whole Silicon Valley, the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: tech guy? They're alienating them. That was their biggest financial backers.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: That's a good point. I hope so. I'm always dubious
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: of a lot of these very wealthy people because... So
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: many of the, and I'm not engaging in the wealth
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: and myself, you know, good for them for the money.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: But just so many rich people are very liberal. And
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: it just seems to me that, you know, they have everything.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: They don't need to make any more money. All they
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: want is to hang out with actresses. And, now, how
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: do you do that? Start denouncing Trump, poor little George
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: Bush as fascist in the rise of Hitler, and please
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: invite me to a Hollywood party.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. When they make a ton
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: of money, all they want to do is be on
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the radio, be on TV, write a book, be in
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: the media, hang out with celebrities, do a podcast.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: That's so embarrassing.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: So everybody follow Ann Coulter on Twitter. Great stuff on Twitter.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Make sure you follow her on Substack because that's you.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: You've got everything going on Substack. And Ann Coulter, thanks
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: for being with us.
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: Good to talk to you, Mark Simone.
• 30:13
