  Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show, Live from the wor Life
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Back Studios. Well, hey, if you're just joining us, you
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: missed the first hour. It's nine to noon every day,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: nine to noon, three hour, three hours. There are nine
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to noon every day, and we got a lot to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: get to. This hour. We're talking about the Straight of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: hor Moose before President saying it's now totally demned. As
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I've mentioned before, the Straight of horn Moose is open.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: It has been opened all along, maybe half open. Nine
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: million barrels a day are coming through. Normally it's twenty
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: but nine million barrels are coming through, and the President
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: pointing out they've totally demined it. There are no more
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: mines in the water. They got these ships and all
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: sorts of underwater drones and technology that can find them.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Apparently they've gotten them all out. So nine million barrels
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a day, that'll probably increase to twelve to fifteen million
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: barrels a day. And that's the one reason, the fact
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that it's been open and oil has been coming through
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: half the usual a month. But that's the reason the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: price of oil has not spiked. It's up a little,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: but it hasn't spiked. Now you got to remember, whatever
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the president does, he's going to get attacked for it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: The fake news, the Trump haters, they will attack him
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: whatever he does. Doesn't matter what he does. Now, there's
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a good side to that. If you're president Trump means
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you can do whatever the hell you want. You don't
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: have to worry about it. No, every other president had
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to worry, Oh, if I do this, I'll attack me.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: If I do that, I'll get bad press. He doesn't
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: have to worry about it. It's gonna get bad press
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: no matter what he does. So he's decided to reduce
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the number of troops we have in Korea. We have
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a pretty good relationship with North Korea with a little
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: lunatic there. And remember that guy's got nuclear weapons. He
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: actually possesses them. But President Trump has charmed him, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, Kim Jong un has behaved himself,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: at least with the US. So we don't have to worry.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So we keep true. Since South Korea a lot of troops,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and the president decided it's so many troops, we could
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: reduce that, and he's reducing it a little. That makes sense.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: But the attacks begin. They're coming after him. They're attacking
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: him for reducing the troops in South Korea.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: While we take our foot off the gas for this
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: particular exercise, potentially reducing readiness, reducing the conventional deterrence effect.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: North Korea continues on their happy way, strengthening their military.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: That's it. They're attacking him for reducing the troops. Now,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: let's just say last week he announced he's increasing the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: troops there. This same guy would have been attacking him.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: It would have denounced it every day. All would have
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: announced wise he increasing troops there. So it doesn't matter
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: what he does. Take building the ballroom. Who could get
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: mad about this? Even if you hate the guy, you
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: got to admit the one thing he's good at is billuilding.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: That's his main talent. He's a great builder. He builds
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: spectacular things. Look around New York. Look at that building
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: in Columbus Circle. Look at all the buildings along the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: West Side Highway, look at Trump Tower. Everything he builds,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it's magnificent. He built the greatest hotel in Washington, d C.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It's now the Waldorf, but it was his hotel for years.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: But he builds spectacular things. So as long as you
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: got this guy in the White House, let him build stuff.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't like the Oval office with the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: gold and the glitz. It's a little too much in there.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: But let him build stuff. Let's say Trump came into
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: your house. Let's say invite him to stay at your house,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and he never left. He's staying too long. He's there
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: for months and months. But while he's there, he built
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a beautiful addition onto your house. He built you a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: whole new kitchen, He built you a whole new this
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: so that he built you a swimming pool. You'd be
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: thrilled with the guy. So the ballroom will be the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: most magnificent ballroom in Washington, DC. Anytime they have a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: big state dinner, I mean a really big event in
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the White House, they can't do it in the East
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Room because these room only holds like one hundred and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: twenty people, not even that much. So big state dinner,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: foreign leader, they got to go out in the lawn
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and put up a tent. That's what we're doing all
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: these years, in a tent. You know, these European leaders
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and the President of France or the King of England,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: they're used to the most palatial rooms. They're not used
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to sitting in a tent on a lawn like they're
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: at a bar mitzvah in Great Neck. I mean, it
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. So he's building the most magnificent ballroom, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: sure enough to get mad at him. They're furious, how
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: dare you build a magnificent ballroom? Not only that he decides,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they're giving him so much flak about the ballroom, they'll
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: also make it very very useful military stuff. They'll put
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a new state of the art situation room underneath. On
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the roof, they'll put a drone, like an airport for drones.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: It's amazing what they got militarily going on there. So
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it's magnificent. Who could complain about this? But the fake
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: news everybody, they're furious, they're fuming, how Darry builds something
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: magnificent at the White House. Here in the courts keepers
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: stopping the ballroom, slowing the ballroom down.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: The people that are opposing the ballroom are people that,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: in my opinion, are very disloyal to our country, very
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: very disloyal to our country. And I think we're doing
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: very well. We're way ahead of schedule.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you could make that case that I understand you
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: hate Trump. You're a big Trump hater. But if you're
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: putting that over the welfare of the country or the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: White House, yeah, I guess you're I guess you're kind
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: of a trumpeter. Now you know this battleship the Lincoln,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: this aircraft carrier of the Lincoln. It's been out at
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: sea too long. It's been out there two hundred days.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: People are jumping overboard. Well, it turns us one guy
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to jumped overboard, and fake news making a big deal
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: out of this, why they're committing suicide they're jumping overboard. Well,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: first of all, if you check into this, every one
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of these aircraft carriers always has somebody jumping overboard. And
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: it's not a suicide attempt. Apparently, it's like a clinger
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in mash and they're trying to get sent home. If
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you jump overboard, they'll think you're crazy and send you home.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: So that's why some people do it. If you jump overboard,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: you'll be quickly rescued, by the way, But the idea
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of jumping overboard is they'll send you home. So it
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: goes down all the time. It has been out at
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: see a very long time. But but if you talk
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to people there, it's fine. Here's the fake news. Why
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: they are unable to get fresh food, fresh food. It's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: an aircraft carrier, it's military food. They're never you could
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: never leave port and you wouldn't get fresh food. It's
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a military kitchen. But they have plenty of food out there.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: They can stay out there forever. It's pretty reassureed know
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: they can stay out there for two hundred days if
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they need to. Here's President Trump on the on this
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: US Lincoln.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: It was at a big group and he happened to
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: be an admiral retired. He said, I've been on ships
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: are out there much longer than that's there. And I
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: know people on the Lincoln. They say it's beautifully maintained
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: and beautifully taken care of. And other people went out
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: and they found out to be true. It was fake
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: news reporting from CNN.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of fake news. They make up these
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: whole things. They could you know, all of a sudden,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: whatever he did or whatever's happening is it's a disaster,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: it's wrong. It's then you find out it's been happening
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: every day for a million years. Here's the General Jack Kean.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I've never seen such misrepresentation in the media of the
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: actual facts that took place. A soldier fell overboard and
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: was rescued. They were claiming that multiple soldiers were committing suicide,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: not not soldiers, sailers. I don't want to insult the
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: sailors by calling them soldiers, but the reality is the
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: misrepresentation is really have been quite significant.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: But it's a big problem. You know, a lot of
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: people a run around this fake news. They think the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: economy is a disaster, that this ship is terrible, everybody's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: killing them. I mean, all of this is false, but
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: they just drill this into people's heads. Hey, we're talking
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: about Jared Kushner before and now listen to this. The
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: hell are these two thinking? Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: are now shopping for a home in Malibu. Yeah, they
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: live in New York and they also have a beautiful
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: home in Miami, and they're now looking for a house
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: in Malibu. Okay, New York, that's fine. Trump's are a
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: big part of New York, Miami. Trump's are loved in Florida. Malibu. Ooh,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: they're not going to like you in Malibu. And first
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of all, everybody in Malibu, these are all Hollywood people.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: These are all media. They're not gonna like you in Malibu.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And why do they want a home in Malibu. They're
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: in Miami. They need Malibu for it, says the first
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: daughter and son in law were eyeing high end listings
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: in the air. They were seen dining at Nobu Noboo
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: everybody and Nobo hates you. The people that own know
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: who hate you, They hate that, they hate anything Trump.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: They're the most trumped arrangement syndrome group in the world.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: The same week, Kushner's brother, Joshua Kushner, he's the guy
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: who with Bob Iger bought the Lakers. So they say,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: prepare to see they call him Javanka. Jared and Ivanka
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: prepare to see Javanka at the Lakers games a lot
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and stay tuned for them to buy a big house
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: in Malibu. And I don't know what they're thinking now.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: He's at some point they're going to leave politics and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the White House and the Middle East stuff, And is
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that what he's thinking. His next move will be California.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: His brother buying a piece of the buying the Lakers.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: He's moving and getting the house in Malbury. They're looking
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to take over something California, Hollywood realm. Now, it could be.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: You know, these guys, especially guys like that, they're in
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the building business, real estate, skyscrapers. They plot, They're like
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the Chinese leaders. They plot like twenty years out. So
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: they see California as a total disaster. Who knows, maybe
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that's what he's plotting, that California is so disastrous right
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: now that if you start buying up everything there, you know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: ten years from now it'll be worth a fortune. You know,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: back in New York when we had the crisis, the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: monetary crisis, the remember it was the a beam early
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: ed Cotch days, where the city was going bankrupt. The
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: municipal bonds were worthless number Ford President Ford to the
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: city dropped dead. It looked like the whole city would
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: go bankrupt and tumble looked horrible. But the smartest guys
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: in the world ran around buying up all the real estate,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: brought up every piece of real estate they could find
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: in Manhattan anywhere because it was dirt cheap, it was
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a sale, and then they made a fortune. Ten years later,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Manhattan was thriving and the real estate was up a
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: billion percent in fact, So that's maybe what he's thinking about. California.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know why else he'd want to be out there.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Miami, the hottest place you could live is
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Billionaire Bunker. It doesn't sound great, but you know, like
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: right over here, that way out that window, it's Billionaire's Row.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Here in Manhattan, fifty seventh Street, Billionaire's Row. It's all
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: those skyscrapers, hundred stories, ninety stories, one after the other.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Billionaires or so. If you're in Miami, it's a little
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: island right off Miami. It's called Indian Creek, and it's
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: just an island of mansions. It's a million mansions in
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a circle, real I mean serious mansions. And Jeff Bezos
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: has bought one of them. Mark Zuckerberg has bought one
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of them. All sorts of billionaires. Now in the middle,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: these mansions are all along the beach. In the middle
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: is a big, huge country club and it's been there
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: for a million years. It's the Indian Creek Country Club,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and it was always one of the most prestigious country
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: clubs in America. I mean, like, you know, it's like
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Wingfoot and West Cheshire. There's Deepdale in Long Island. There's
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Indian Creek in Miami. These are the most exclusive. These
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: are very serious golf clubs. These are not social things.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: They're serious golf clubs, so they don't take just anybody in.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: But apparently these guys that bought these mansions, Jeff Bezos
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: and Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, they're having a hard
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: time getting in. They can't get into the country club.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: They can't get a membership. It's a century old, very exclusive.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: They're not looking for big, flashy names. They're looking for
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: like quiet, old money kind of people. So these guys
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: are furious they bought the mansion on a billionaire bunker there.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Don't worry. Don't worry. These guys will figure out how
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to take it over. Speaking of a Zuckerberg, he's getting
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: sued in New Jersey. I don't really understand this lawsuit.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: They're suing Meta. It's Facebook. Meta owns Facebook and Instagram.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: They're suing them for fixing their algorithm so that it
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: addicts people, it makes you addictive. So what that means
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: they're playing with the algorithm to make you stay on longer,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and they're suing over that. Now. I don't know how
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I think this will end up in the Supreme Court,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: because I don't know how you can sue over this,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: because everybody does that. Every business does that. We do
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: it on the radio, they do it on television. It's
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: done all the time. They do it in restaurants. Everything
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: is done. They don't have algorithms, but the way they
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: do run the business is to make you stay longer,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: or make you do this, or make you do that.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: You know on the radio when the commercial is coming
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: up and the guy says, hey, right after this, we'll
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: be talking about the most expensive hotel room in the world,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and that's called the teas. That's to get you to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: stay through the commercial and keep listening. Everything is designed
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: that way. In the radio, I was talking about this
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: contest you could win the trip to Las Vegas. Remember
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: we said it's at one o'clock today, you have a chance.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: It's deliberate. It's always done that way. We want to
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: get you listening to at one o'clock. And every radio
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: station where they have a big giveaway, it's always Thursday
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: morning at eight. Why is it always Thursday morning at
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: eight Because in the ratings it's complicated to explain, But
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: in the ratings, that's we want you. If we get
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: you Thursday morning listening. It's the best thing for ratings.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: You know that all news give us twenty two minutes,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: We'll give you the world. Didn't you ever wonder why
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: why is it twenty two minutes? Why is it twenty minutes?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Because of those extra two minutes, they'll get credit for
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: another quarter hour in the Nielsen ratings. It's all. Every
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: business does this. It's all designed to get your listening longer,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: to get score more points. They do it in a restaurant.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: You think they just put everything on the menu and
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: that's it. That menu is so scientifically laid out to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: create illusions of things to get you to order certain
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: things you wouldn't ordered by exactly where they place it.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: You know, the first thing on the menu is always
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: ridiculously expensive. That's deliberate. So once you get past this
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and look at the other stuff, it doesn't look so
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: it makes it look cheap. And they put things in
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: a certain spot in the menu because that's where your
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: eye is going to get. Everybody does this, so if
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: they do this with Meta, they could start doing this
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: with everybody. You know, when you walk into a supermarket,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: their algorithm is designed to addict you. You know, why
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: didn't you ever wonder how come the milk and the
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: eggs and this stuff's always all the way in the back.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: It's far away from the door as you can get.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Because that's the thing people buy the most. That's the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: one thing people are always going to be coming to get.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So by putting it all the way in the back,
• 15:56
