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

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is 710WOR, where the Mark Simone Show starts now. Hey,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: it's Tuesday. If you haven't been outside yet, it feels
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: like autumn out there. It's chilly out there. It's fall
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: out there. And autumn officially begins at 8 o'clock tonight.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: So you're in the final hours of the summer of 2026.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: But not really, because it's already autumn out there. It's
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: going to be in the 60s all this week. UN
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: General Assembly all this week. Traffic an absolute nightmare all
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: around Manhattan. President Trump stayed at Trump Tower last night.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: You know, when we give out the president's schedule, sometimes
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: we've been told, don't give locations. You know, like I said,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: he was going to a donor thing last night. He
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: was going to a gal. Don't give the locations. But
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: if you walk by Trump Tower, there's 6,000 garbage trucks
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: parked all around it. These are like barricades to keep
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: any terrorist bomber from getting near the building. So I
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: think if you walk by, I've never seen so many
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: garbage trucks lined up perfectly all around to block the building.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I think he could kind of figure he's there. The
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: president speaks at the United Nations today, early this morning.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: He will speak. He's expected to really let the UN
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: have it. They are the most useless, ridiculous organization in
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the world. He's expected to... explain that to him and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: actually talk about maybe redoing the UN into something practical,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: something useful, something that actually gets something done. So he'll
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: speak at the UN and hang on, let me get
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the schedule here. He's got a lot going on today.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: It's a busy day. As they say, he spent the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: night at Trump tower first time in his second term
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that he has spent the night at Trump tower. It's
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: gotta be strange for him. You know, You look at
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Trump Tower, it's a beautiful apartment building, one of the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: nicest in New York. And that's where I always saw him,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: at Trump Tower. But if you think about it, he's
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: lived in the White House now for the last year
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and a half. It's like a palace with military, with guards.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: It's like living in a palace. And then the other
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: part of his time, he's living in Mar-a-Lago. Same thing.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: It's like a palace. There's military. There's Secret Service. You
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: can't go from that. Back to just a regular apartment
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: building with a doorman and a guy behind a desk.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And that's it. He got too big for his own
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: building now. So he speaks to the General Assembly this morning.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Here's the actual schedule. The president expects to speak about
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: 40 minutes, maybe an hour. He spoke an hour last time.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Then right after his speech, he's going to go into
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a private session with the heads of Denmark and the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: head of Greenland. Prime Minister of Greenland, Prime Minister of Denmark,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and that's where they'll sign that agreement giving us permanent
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: control of Greenland. This is a very important agreement militarily,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: national defense-wise. Greenland is a massive island right above the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: United States. It's always been a thing we've been very
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: concerned about, that Russia, China would use that, use Greenland
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: as a base to attack us. So we need it
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: for that reason. The other problem is if we were
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: ever attacked by Russia, by anybody with missiles, Greenland would
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: be the place where we'd need to defend them from Greenland.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: So having permanent control forever and ever is a big deal.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: They'll sign that in the next couple hours. And we
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: already have a base there. We'll build another base there.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: We'll put all our missile defense capability that we need
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to have there on the island. Then after that, the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: president has a bilateral meeting with the Prime Minister of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the United Kingdom of Great Britain. That's about 11.45. The
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: UK guy only gets about a half hour, because then
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the schedule. It's pretty tight here. Then
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: he goes to a bilateral meeting with the Prime Minister
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of Japan. I don't know who wants this job. You know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: if somebody said to you, here's the Prime Minister of Japan,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: shoved you in the room, said, talk to him for
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a half hour, what the hell would you talk to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: him about? What do you really want to talk to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: him about? Prime Minister of Japan. What do you ask
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: him about? Kobe beef? Sushi? Who wants to talk to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: this guy? He then goes from that, actually about 1245,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: First Lady will address the United Nations General Assembly about
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: fostering our future together. Ah, there you go. I don't
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: know what that means, but it sounds good. And then, 115,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the President will have a bilateral meeting with the President
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of the Ukraine, that's Zelenskyy. Actually, you remember the first
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: meeting with Zelensky where he was just this little stooge
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: begging for help. It's kind of the other way around now.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: This guy Zelensky has created the best drone factories, missile factories.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: He's turning out the best drones in the world by
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the thousands. We actually may be talking to him about
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: getting weapons from him now, about him selling us some
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: drones for once. Okay, Zelensky. Then he goes to a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Shield of the America event. United Nations General Assembly, the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Shield of America. Well, that's, see, they come up with
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: these titles. You don't know what the hell they are.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Then from that, who wants to do this all day?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Then he goes from that meeting to a multilateral meeting
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: with the Gulf Cooperation Council. Aha. I would think that's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Middle Eastern heads, they'll discuss Iran. Okay, he then leaves there.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: He's got to go to a party after this. This
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: is a UN General Assembly party. But in between, he's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: going back to Trump Tower. He goes back to Trump
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Tower this afternoon, probably about 3.30 or so. He'll stay
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: at Trump Tower and then depart for the Latte Palace Hotel.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: That's a beautiful hotel. It used to be the Helmsley Palace.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: It's the hotel right across from St. Patrick's, Madison Avenue, 50th.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And that's where this event is tonight, the United Nations
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: General Assembly Leaders' Receptions. You want to see a party
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that's not that much fun? The United Nations General Assembly
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Leadership Reception. 7.15 he gets there. Oh, look at this.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Look at this. 7.40 he leaves for a meeting. Yeah, see?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: That's how bad this party is. They only put like
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: 20 minutes for it on the schedule. It'll run in,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: run out. Then he has a meeting with the acting
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: president of Venezuela. That's at 7.40. That should be done
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: about 8.30 or so. And then after that, he heads
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to the airport and leaves, goes back to Washington. He'll
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: be in the White House by 11 o'clock tonight. It's
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a pretty busy day. It's a pretty boring day. I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want to sit through any of those meetings. And
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: by the way, because of all this moving around, traffic
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: will be a nightmare, a nightmare here in New York,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: not just around the east side and the U.N., but
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: because he's going to Trump Tower, that whole area will be,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: streets will be closed. Then he's going to the Latte Palace.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: That's 50th and Madison around St. Patrick's. All those streets
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: will get closed. Going to be a real nightmare traffic-wise. Also,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: if you need a hooker, you will not be able
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to get one this week. UN General Assembly is in town.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Every hooker in New York will be tied up tonight. Literally. No,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's actually escorts, hookers, call girls online.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: whatever you call it, from all over the world have
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: come in for this. It's the biggest. It's like Super
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Bowl week for them, this UN General Assembly. Also, you'll
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: see them if you go into big, fancy stores, all
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the top jewelry stores, department stores, clothing stores. You'll see
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: all the wives and a lot of these delegates. They're
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: supposed to be in meetings and meetings. They're all at Bergdorf.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: They're all at Tiffany. They're all at Cartier spending a fortune.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So that's the president's day today. Yesterday, he upset a
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: lot of his base by meeting with Mom Donnie. I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: thought it's pretty, this is what he does. Not only
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: does he meet with Mom Donnie, when he comes out
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and the microphones are there, he talks about what a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: great guy he is, how wonderful he is, this and that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: But you got to remember, that's what he does. He
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: does that all the time. Everybody he meets, I've watched
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: him do this for 35 years. You go into a party,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: anybody comes over and says hello, pats the guy on
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the back, is this guy great? Is this guy the best?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Listen to any interview he does. It could be Good
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Morning Phoenix. Whatever show he's on. It could be a
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: radio show in Fargo. Listen to it. He always tells
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the host, you know, you're great. You're really great. I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: love your show. It's great. What a great show. This
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: guy's great. He always does that. It's a salesman's technique.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: It's very, very good. So they talked about a lot
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of things. Is this Mamdani here commenting about it?
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Each time the president and I speak, it is about
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the same topics. how to improve the lives of New Yorkers,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and how to use the power of government to take
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: on the cost of living crisis, to grow our economy,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: and to build a better, stronger New York.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And that's what Mamdani's all about, improving the lives of
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: New Yorkers. So he's just about, he's got a great
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: business model, this Mamdani. He looks the part for his base,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: for his base. They're all like Ivy League, you know,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Spoiled brats who are overeducated, can't get a job, don't
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: actually have any skills. They were indoctrinated in these colleges
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: about how great socialism is and how capitalism stinks. And
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: so they love this guy. He just talks about socialism.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: And it's a great business model. He just tells you
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: stuff that you start applauding. It's never going to happen.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Never happened. Free buses. Everybody's applauding. They can't wait to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: vote for the free buses. The guy has absolutely no
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: authority to make the buses free. The mayor of New
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: York has no control over the buses. They're run by
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the state, by the MTA. Hey, he just came out
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: today and said once again, He's going to arrest Netanyahu.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: He has called for the arrest of Netanyahu. He has
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: absolutely no authority to arrest Netanyahu. First of all, Netanyahu
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: is part of the UN General Assembly. He's got full,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: total diplomatic immunity. He cannot be arrested. And Mamdani keeps
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: pointing to the, well, he was indicted by the International
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Criminal Court. There's no such thing, the International Criminal Court.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: It actually exists, but it's not a real court. It's
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a great idea. See, this is part of the same thing. Mamdani,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to appeal to the base, just says stuff, and it
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: sounds great, and everybody runs out to vote for him.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: They can't run out fast enough to vote for this
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: because it sounded great. He has no authority to do it.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: And a bunch of these guys years ago, these left-wing kooks,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: years ago, in the 80s, they created something called the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: International Criminal Court. It's not a real court. It has
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: absolutely no authority over anything. It's just something they created,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and they call it. It sounds great. The International Criminal Court.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And they're convicting people. They've convicted Netanyahu. But it's not
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: a real court. They have no actual authority. There's some countries,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you know, crazy left-wing dictator countries that recognize it. But
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: no normal country recognizes it. Not only do we not
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: recognize the International Criminal Court, the U.S. government is actually
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: trying to shut it down. It's just a fake organization.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: We have sanctioned it so that they can't use U.S.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: currency anymore. the leader of it, by the way, had
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to leave, sexual harassment, sexual assault, that kind of stuff.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: But it's not a real court. So he's claiming because
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: of that, he's calling for the arrest of Netanyahu, which
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: will never, ever, ever, ever happen. But the meeting with Trump,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: very cordial. And again, Trump is very good at this stuff. Now,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: why is he so busy trying to be friends with
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie? Well, he thinks it's the right thing to do.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe he can win him over. You got to try.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: The other thing is he's a New Yorker and no
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: matter what, what level he's risen to. He still just
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: loves New York City. It's very important to him. So
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: he wants to push this guy in the right direction,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: if he can. He's also a real estate developer. That's
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: what you do when you're a real estate developer. You
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: get friendly with the government, with the city. The Trump
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: organization has a tremendous amount of business and real estate
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: in New York. So that's the other thing. Now, Mamdani's
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: got stuff he wants to do. One is called the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Sunnyside Project. It's out there in Queens. railroad yards. They'd
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: have to cover them over and then build on top
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: of them. You can do that. That's what Hudson Yards is.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: They built over all those train tracks, a couple miles
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: of train tracks. They built over it and built Hudson Yards.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So they want to do this in Sunnyside. And what
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: this would be would be like 12,000 houses, low-income housing. Now, Mamdani,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: not being that bright, probably doesn't realize the Trump Organization,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: before all the fancy Manhattan Trump Tower type stuff, built
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: low-income housing all over Brooklyn and Queens. They're real, real,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: real experts at it. And Mamdani, his project to build
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: these houses, $ 16 billion. If you got the Trump organization
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to do it, it'd be $ 1 billion. And they'd probably
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: be better built and look better, but he's not smart
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: enough to figure all that out. And the other problem
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: is this whole Sunnyside project, the whole neighborhood, the area,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: they're viciously opposed to it. So knowing Mamdani, it'll never happen,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: never actually happen, but he talked about it.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: We've agreed to set up a new level of that
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: conversation between our housing and operations team at City Hall
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: and the White House team, because what we're speaking about
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: is 12,000 homes, 30,000 jobs, the prospect of an entire
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: new neighborhood in a city where housing is the number
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: one cost.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: So it sounds great. Ooh, and he has a housing
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and operations team. The housing operations team will be in
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: on it. It's a bunch of left-wing kooks, college idiots.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: who've never had a job. And Trump is playing along
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: with this.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: The mayor brought that up, the possibility of doing Sunnyside Yards.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: It's a very, I would say that was a very
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: federal-oriented job. You're going to need a lot of federal
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: approvals and probably some federal money to do it. But
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: it's always been a great location. I owned a building
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: in Sunnyside. It was a great building.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I know it very well. Yeah, you see, when Mamdani talks,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: it's just pipe dreams. It's just fantasies. I'm going to
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: build 12,000. I'm going to build. We're going to build.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: It's just fantasies. When Trump talks, it's real. He actually
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: has done it. He's built buildings all over the place.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: The Trump Organization owned like 40,000 low-income houses, Brooklyn, Queens.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's actually done all this, so it's real
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: for him.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: I certainly hope he will be a great mayor. You
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: have to understand, I want what's good for New York.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: I want what's good for the country. So if I
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: had a choice of having him be a bad mayor
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: or a horrible.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Mayor, I don't want that. I want him to be
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a great mayor, and he's certainly got potential. All right,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: there you go. That's the right attitude. I certainly hope
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: he will be a great mayor. That's the right attitude.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: We hope he'll be a great mayor. We're not going
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to hold our breath on that. So far, it doesn't
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: look so good. But they had the meeting at Gracie Mansion.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: President Trump went through Gracie Mansion with Mom Donnie. Now,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: this has not been revealed, but I'm sure that... As
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: they walk through Gracie Mansion, President, have you ever seen
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Gracie Mansion? It looks like a house from the 1700s.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: It looks like George Washington's Mount Vernon. Very old, stately.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sure as Trump walked through there, he said to Mamdani,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you know, you've got to fix this place up. You know,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: but why don't you put some gold on these walls here?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I'll give you the number of my gold guy. I'll
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: have my gold guy call you. You put gold all
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: over the walls. And, you know, you need more paintings,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: maybe 200 of them on each wall. So... Hopefully, Mamdani
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: ignores the decorating advice from President Trump. Anyway, we've got
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a lot to get to. It's the end of summer.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Eight o'clock tonight. Autumn officially begins when you go outside.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: It's cold out. It's chilly out. We'll get to that.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: We'll get crazy Kathy Hochul and her AI scheme. We'll
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: get to that coming up and a whole lot more
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: just ahead. Mark Simone here three hours every day, nine
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: to noon every day. here on 710WOR. Or Mark. 710WOR. Well,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: yesterday we had that big air traffic glitch that started
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. It caused a backup everywhere. Hundreds and hundreds
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and hundreds, like 600, 700 flights. It was an absolute mess.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Any information for us? Yeah, man, nothing works.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Let's see.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Here at Philly, we lost, well, we got like a
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: bunch of thousand extra data tags on all of our radars.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Our weather doesn't work. Yeah, so everything went out and everywhere.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: The radar went out. The weather went out. The towers
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: went out. Everything went out. That's a ground stop, they
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: call it. They have to cancel every flight, and when
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: you cancel everything, Everything at Philadelphia, it ripples out to
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: all these other airports. You know who's pretty good is Duffy,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Transportation Secretary Duffy. He's been very good at this job.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: An exciting day.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: This has been a year in the making for us
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: at DOT.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: And the FAA.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they're trying to fix these systems.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: This is our effort to give you a better system,
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: better tools, and better efficiency.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Well, hopefully he gets it done because that's the problem
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: these days. I hate to tell you this, but what's
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: in those air traffic control towers is equipment from like
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the 70s. It all needs to be fixed and replaced.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: But everybody happy with Duffy. You know, they always attack
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: everybody in the Trump administration, always going after Vance. They
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: go after Rubio. They go after Kash Patel. You notice
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: they never, ever, ever say a bad thing about Duffy. Now,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: there's a couple of reasons for that. One is when
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: you're the transportation secretary, the first thing you do is
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: you give every member of Congress your cell number. Republicans, Democrats,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: everybody in Congress, every major media person, you give them
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: your cell number. And that's because if they're ever trying
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: to get through the airport, if they ever have a problem,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: they can call you right up and you fix it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: So that's why nobody in Congress, left or right, ever
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: attacks Duffy. That's why nobody on CNN, MSNBC, they never
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: attack Duffy. Never pick on him because they all have
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the cell number. want to get to the airport, don't
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: want to wait in line. They call him. He has
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: a guy come right over, walk them right through, right
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: onto the plane. It happens every day, all day long. Hey,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the Lindsay Clancy trial, they want to do back in
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: court soon. She has to come back into court and
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: then they have to have another hearing. Now they got
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: to decide what to do. She wasn't acquitted. It was
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: a mistrial, which means you're supposed to try her again.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Now the lawyer for Lindsay Clancy, the old guy with
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the glasses. He's very, very busy all over television trying
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: to convince them there's no hope of convicting her. Why
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: embarrass yourself again? Don't try her again. Trying to get
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the prosecutors to agree to just make some sort of
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: plea deal. The deal he wants is that she doesn't
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: go to prison. She goes to some mental health facility instead.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: So he's all over television trying to discourage them from
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: trying her again. and try to encourage them to take
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: a plea deal. Now, the problem is this particular prosecutor's
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: office almost never makes a plea deal. So it's very tough.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: But this lawyer is pretty good. He's like an old
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: guy with the glasses. He looks very sincere. His track record,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: not so great as an attorney. He's lost a lot
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: of cases. But he's old. He's in his late 70s.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: So this is a good note to go out on.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: because he looked pretty good in this case, but he's
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: trying to convince everybody there's no hope ever again of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: convicting her.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: But the problem is, as I said from the very beginning,
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: is that these jurors reached out to the judge for help,
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: not once but twice, stating clearly and unequivocally that there
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: was doubt, and then there was reasonable doubt, but he
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: refused to apply the law, and that's just not right.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: Lindsay was entitled to that verdict, but she was denied
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: that verdict.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we'll see. We'll see. She's got to go
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: back in court, and we'll see. If you're a left-wing Democrat,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: cover your ears for a moment, please. Price of oil
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: dropping again, down another $ 3 a barrel today. 92 right now,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: $ 92 a barrel. Price dropping fast over the last week. Remember,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: it was like 107 just a week ago. It spiked up.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: It really spiked up into the hundreds. But that was brief,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: just a few days. Now it's back down in the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: 90s and dropping and dropping. Stock market doing very, very,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: very well. Yeah, up, up. Okay, if you're a Democrat,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: you're going to uncover your ears now. Autumn begins tonight,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: 8 o'clock. It's going to be cold all week in
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the 60s. That's not really cold. Mid-60s is pretty nice,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: but after the whole summer, it seems very, very, very cold. So, hey, Hochul,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul, our governor, You know, the Democrats, they always,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Republicans usually campaign with something, some sort of a promise.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: You know, we'll cut your taxes, we'll close the border.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: They promise you stuff. And then when Democrats campaign, they usually,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: they have to convince you you're all going to die
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: if you don't vote for them. There's something that's going
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to kill you at any moment. It was climate change
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: was going to kill you. Now it's AI is going
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to kill you. This is how they campaign. You're going
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: to be totally wiped out if you don't vote for us.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: They always have to have some huge boogeyman that's going
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: to just wipe you out and kill you. And the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: climate change is not working anymore for them. Every test
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: they run, focus group, survey, climate change doesn't work. People
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: aren't buying it anymore. They've been telling you for 30
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: years this is going to happen, that's going to happen.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Nothing they tell you ever happened. There's this clip all
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: over the internet now, Bernie Sanders. six years ago in
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: that presidential debate saying, the scientists say we only have
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: six years left. If we don't do it, within six years,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: we'll all be wiped out. Well, it's six years later.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Nothing changed. Everything's fine. So that's not working anymore. So
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: AI is the new thing that's going to kill you.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: And they got these four, it's a cartel that runs AI,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: four companies, this little cartel, all very close to Barack Obama,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: who's been the chess master orchestrating this. So they all
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: came out with these examples of how AI is escaping
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and it's going to wipe us all out. People within
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: the companies now coming forward and said, these weren't the
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: cases where AI escaped. They were cases where they deliberately
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: didn't draw it right. Now the head of NVIDIA, one
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: of the most respected brains in America, CEO Jensen Wang,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: said there is a zero percent chance AI will end
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the world by 2030. A zero percent chance. He says,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it. But, what these politicians are doing,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: especially the locals. Newsom started it in California. He is
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: passing strict AI laws. That's it. Nobody knows what they are.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Nobody knows what these laws that actually do, but it
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: sounds good. Kathy Hochul doing the same thing right now.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: She's passing strict AI laws as if Kathy Hochul Could
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: even figure out how to reset her phone. She's going
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: to run AI for you.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: In November, we'll direct frontier AI developers to register with
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: the state. Then in January, those AI companies will be
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: mandated by law. The effective date of the law is
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: January to comply with strict transparency standards. They'll be required
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: to publish their safety protocols and report any critical safety
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: instances within 72 hours.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Woof. oh my God, that sounds comprehensive. Then you think
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: about what does that mean? You got to publish your
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: safety protocols. You know, when you go to get your
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: new iPhone or you want to log in the first time,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: you have to sign an agreement and the agreement is
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: 72,000 paragraphs that nobody's ever read. That's what the safety
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: protocols are. It's a million thousand billion paragraphs. Nobody's going
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: to read this. Then at the end, you just click agree.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Even if you had, even if you were serving life
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: in prison, you wouldn't have time to read this whole agreement. Anyway,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: we've got a lot to get to. We'll take some
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: calls coming up. Don't go away. Mark Simone here, 9
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: to noon every day, 710WOR.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: It's the Mark Simone Show.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios. Hey, we'll take some
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: calls in a minute. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: You know, the San Gennaro Festival, San Gennaro Feast is
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: on right now. 100th anniversary. Now, Little Italy has been
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: shrinking through the years. Little Italy used to be 30 blocks.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: It's five blocks now. It's been shrinking for a few reasons. One,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Chinatown's been creeping in, taking over blocks. And then developers
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: have been buying up blocks and building all sorts of
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: modern office apartment buildings, all sorts of stuff. And then
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: prices have been going up, astronomical rents, a lot of
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: those multi-generational businesses. have left, but it's still there, and
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: it's the 100th anniversary of the Feast of San Gennaro,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and there's new generations coming in. You know, there's all
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the old Little Italy places that you all know, but
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of new young hotshot little places coming
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: in there. So it's on the San Gennaro Festival. Speaking
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: of eating, J.B. Pritzker, the problem is he's losing a
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: lot of weight. This is a problem because it's always
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: been great to call him a fat slob, Ralph Cramden-looking governor.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: But Pritzker, now they always say you can tell when
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: a guy's running for president because he'll start losing weight.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: The old veterans always taught us that, the Bob Novaks
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: and the Evans and Novak, and they would always say, watch,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: if he starts losing weight, if he starts buying better clothes,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: it means he's running for president. So Pritzker has lost
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: 80 pounds all of a sudden. Now, he's a big,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: fat Ralph Cramden-looking guy, but he's slimming down, 80 pounds
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: so far, on the GLP-1 shots. So that's caused all
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: kinds of talk about 2028. He said, when asked about it,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: he said, well, I've been driven to lose weight my
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: whole life. It's been something I've wanted to do my
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: whole life. Well, all of a sudden, you didn't do
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: it until now. So that's why it's a little suspicious.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Once the GLP-1 drugs became available, well, that changed everything,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: and I started using it. But again, a lot of
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: people lose weight. Remember Chris Christie, who was the other
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: big fat slob running for president, all of a sudden
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: got that lap band surgery. And by the way, I
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: think he's entitled to a refund on that surgery. Does
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: he look any thinner? Did he ever look any thinner?
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: But Pritzker losing weight. Hey, by the way, those GLP-1 drugs, drugs,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: there's a new study out that shows they may cause
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: eye problems, serious eye damage that would be irreversible. I mean, listen,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: there's always a study coming out that says one thing
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: or another, but I'm just warning you that came out.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Nobody's really seen the full side effects. Hey, let's take
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy, how you doing? Morning, Mark. Hello, Kathy.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Good. You know, last week or whenever it was, when
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: that 9-11 widow mentioned the Saudi stuff, which kind of
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: surprised everybody. I mean, the whole monologue she did. I
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: guess my algorithm was listening to me because into my algorithm,
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: a documentary called The Fifth Plane. Am I like the
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: only person who knew about this or didn't know about
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: this rather? about the JFK plane. It was a very
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: good documentary. It's not brand new.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the problem with documentaries is half of them are
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: totally fake and false and not true. But because they're documentaries,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: they look like some sort of news program.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: They had a lot of real people on there.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: You can always find real people to do that. That
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's true. Look at the JFK assassination. There's
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: a million documentaries, including the Oliver Stone movie. That are
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: total fiction.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, my question is, have you heard about the fifth
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: plane controversy, that there were Saudi people on it? Yes, yes.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: And because they shut down.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, and it turned out not to be true.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Now listen.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: Because it looked pretty real to me.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Listen, listen, listen, listen to me. Some people want to
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: believe this stuff. Like with the JFK assassination, they want
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: to believe there were people in the grass. You know,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: they just want to believe it. You can't argue them.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: It's emotional.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: But it's not.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: It's not.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: It's what we need.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: All we knew. Everybody was going to bomb us. So
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: why would that not be?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: If you want to believe there was a fifth plane,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: you believe there was a fifth plane. Hey, late at night,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: we got a flying saucer show on. You ought to
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: listen to that.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Stop.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: I'm very sensible, girl.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: No, seriously. They tell you all about the UFOs that
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: have been landing here left and right.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: So you speak to it. You had heard of it,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: and you have discarded it.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: There's no getting through to you on this. It's not
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: you personally. It's just anybody who loves these conspiracy theories.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: You can't talk them out of it. You remember the
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Rosie O'Donnell that the World Trade Center was exploded, that
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: fire can't melt steel? Remember that one?
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, no.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: I'm not going there.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: How do you think they make steel today?
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: The widow that was talking about the Saudis, I thought.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize. You can keep believing it. Enjoy yourself.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Knock yourself out. There's a fifth plane. You believe that.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: I trust your opinion. I wasn't not believing it or not.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: I just couldn't believe I'd never.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Heard of it.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: What's the temperature down there in North Carolina?
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: You know, it's been in the 90s.
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: So it's pretty hot.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: But today it finally cooled off a little bit. And
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: we always have the exact same weather you guys have.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: It's cooled off there, right? I don't know what it is.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: We have the exact same weather.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: And what's the deal, North Carolina? There's no income tax?
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: There is income tax.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Why did you move to North Carolina?
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: It's very expensive here. Why move there.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: If you're in New York or New Jersey? Why move
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: to North Carolina?
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: It wasn't financial for me.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: It was.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: personal, but I miss you guys so much, and especially
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: want to hear about Little Italy.
• 31:21

• 31:25
  Speaker 1: going to move to South Carolina. I'm going to move
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: to North Carolina. I'm going to move to Nashville. It
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: sounds great, but then all you do is you read
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: the New York Post every day, and you listen to
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the New York radio, and you just miss everything here.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: You miss everything here. Some of these states, Florida, there's
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: no income tax, no state income tax. That's what they
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: got to do to get people there. That's why people
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: are there. You know a state is really good when
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: they can charge a ton of income tax and people
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: still live there. I mean, you know, it's like a restaurant.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: You have given away the food for free. Of course
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: you're going to have everybody coming. But if you can
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: charge a fortune and people still come, then you know
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: you're doing well. A Paramount merger, they have cleared the
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: way for it. We'll get to this coming up. So

  Speaker 1: states that were suing to block it. They've settled, but
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: it's an intricate settlement. Anyway, we'll get to all of
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: that coming up. We've got a lot to talk about
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: in the next two hours. Don't forget, I'm here three
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: hours every day, nine to noon, nine to noon every day.

  Speaker 1: Trump tower. Uh, he'll be going to, uh, uh, the
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: palace hotel 50th and Madison. So expect a lot of
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: road closures, street closures, total gridlock around those areas. It's
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: going all day today. Now the president leaves tonight, uh,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: At 8.30, 9 o'clock, he'll leave New York. So that'll
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: ease it up a little. But it's still going to
