Speaker 1: Mark the Moons on wor.
0:04
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome to our number two. That's right, in case
0:09
Speaker 2: you didn't, I'm stallone. Know we start at nine o'clock
0:12
Speaker 2: now every morning, it's nine to noon every day, so
0:14
Speaker 2: this is our number two. You missed a big first
0:17
Speaker 2: hour if you just tuned in, make sure you tune
0:19
Speaker 2: in every morning now nine to noon. Actually, I just
0:23
Speaker 2: saw Curtis Leiwa in the hallway packing up, getting ready
0:26
Speaker 2: to leave, and I said, don't you want to go
0:28
Speaker 2: back to six to ten? He goes, no, It's it's
0:32
Speaker 2: tough for me getting up early and being on at
0:34
Speaker 2: nine o'clock, but for him it means an hour less,
0:37
Speaker 2: gets to go home an hour earlier. So he said
0:39
Speaker 2: he's very happy with it. Hey, this is now official.
0:43
Speaker 2: It's absolutely official. El Sayad has won the Michigan primary.
0:48
Speaker 2: He's just been declared the winner. El Sayad doctor Abdul
0:53
Speaker 2: l Sayad. He's not really a doctor. He's some kind
0:56
Speaker 2: of a doctor. He said he did something the medical said,
0:59
Speaker 2: but he didn't treat patient. Because if you're if you
1:02
Speaker 2: were in the hospital, god forbid. And guy came out
1:05
Speaker 2: and said, hello, I'm doctor Levine. I would you'd feel
1:07
Speaker 2: but if the guy came out looking like him and said,
1:10
Speaker 2: I'm doctor Abdul Elsayad, with that crazy look in his
1:14
Speaker 2: eyes and that angry kind of So this is the
1:17
Speaker 2: best thing for Republicans. This is perfect. Now, Michigan is
1:21
Speaker 2: not New York, it's not California. Michigan's the heartland. It's
1:25
Speaker 2: a battleground state. So if you want to make sure
1:28
Speaker 2: that Mike Rogers, the Republican, wins in Michigan, best thing
1:31
Speaker 2: is to have a really kooky left wing Democrat running
1:35
Speaker 2: against him, and that's Abdul el Sayad. Because the other
1:39
Speaker 2: one in the primary was Haley Stevens, who's pretty much
1:43
Speaker 2: more of a traditional Democrat. So you got doctor Abdul
1:47
Speaker 2: el Sayad. This was him last night. We all knew they.
1:51
Speaker 3: Were going to spend their money.
1:52
Speaker 1: We didn't know they were going to spend seventy million
1:54
Speaker 1: dollars of their money. We didn't know that they were
1:59
Speaker 1: going to out spend US eleven dollars to one dollar.
2:06
Speaker 4: And yet we are still standing, Yeah.
2:12
Speaker 2: You won. So you just shot down your own theory.
2:15
Speaker 2: You know, the whole campaign of money in politics, it's corrupt,
2:19
Speaker 2: it's well, they outspent eleven to one and they lost.
2:22
Speaker 2: So obviously the money in politics doesn't mean anything. Don't
2:25
Speaker 2: worry about it. Hey, same thing happened with Donald Trump,
2:27
Speaker 2: remember him against Hillary. Hillary spent like one point five billion.
2:31
Speaker 2: Trump spent like one hundred million and he won. Happens
2:34
Speaker 2: all the time. Uh so he won. The crazy left
2:39
Speaker 2: winger in Missouri lost. This is not Corey Bush. This
2:43
Speaker 2: ain't no y'all. Remember you're not supposed to be an
2:45
Speaker 2: election denier. If Trump even questions your life, you're even
2:50
Speaker 2: questioned the election, which we used to do all the time.
2:53
Speaker 2: Remember in Nixon Kennedy, everybody knew that total corruption in Chicago,
2:58
Speaker 2: dead people were voting. In the West Virginia primary was
3:02
Speaker 2: all rigged. Remember Bush v. Gory claimed the election was wrong.
3:07
Speaker 2: You do it all the time, but you're not allowed
3:08
Speaker 2: to do it anymore. But listen to this Democrat to
3:11
Speaker 2: talk about an election denier.
3:12
Speaker 1: This ain't over, y'all.
3:14
Speaker 5: This ain't over. And when I said last time, hey pack,
3:17
Speaker 5: I'm coming to tell your kingdom down, let's be clear
3:20
Speaker 5: that kingdom is falling down.
3:22
Speaker 1: And I done.
3:25
Speaker 2: Remember when you used to have to talk like this
3:28
Speaker 2: to be a politician. You had to speak in a
3:31
Speaker 2: statesman sort of way to be a politician. Night be
3:36
Speaker 2: snarling and drooling, and so luckily she lost. But as
3:41
Speaker 2: she says, it ain't over. She's coming back. So watch
3:45
Speaker 2: for something to happen today Straight of hor Moose, either
3:47
Speaker 2: late today or tomorrow. President Trump saying there will definitely
3:51
Speaker 2: be a deal. They'll open the Straight of Horne Moose,
3:54
Speaker 2: which is big news for about three days till it
3:57
Speaker 2: closes again. It's like it's like Eagles farewell tour. There's
4:04
Speaker 2: a few of them, you know. It's like whenever you
4:06
Speaker 2: see the artist farewell tour, just wait a year they'll
4:12
Speaker 2: be there'll be another farewell tour come and another farewell tour.
4:15
Speaker 2: So it's the same thing with Iran. Agreement after agreement
4:18
Speaker 2: after agreement.
4:19
Speaker 6: You know.
4:19
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a good thing. Though. It's better than
4:21
Speaker 2: Iran trying to build a nuclear bomb and funding Hamas
4:25
Speaker 2: and they're funding October seventh and they're funding Hoodies and Hezbollah.
4:29
Speaker 2: It's better than have them tied up just doing this
4:33
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven, just trying to defend themselves against
4:35
Speaker 2: us all day. Keeps them busy with this, keeps them
4:39
Speaker 2: from doing that other stuff. So I guess that's a
4:42
Speaker 2: good thing. Hey, the worst thing in New York is
4:45
Speaker 2: these e bikes, these electric bikes. You know, you can
4:50
Speaker 2: blame Mom, Donnie, you can blame Eric Adams, you can
4:52
Speaker 2: blame Dblasia. But remember this all started under Bloomberg, This
4:56
Speaker 2: anti car stuff, it all started under bloom Blomberg. Remember
5:01
Speaker 2: he closed Times Square to cars. He made it a
5:06
Speaker 2: big pedestrian mall. He did the same thing around Harold Square.
5:10
Speaker 2: Go uh, well, if you go to Times Square right now,
5:13
Speaker 2: that pedestrian mall, it's just a crowded mess. And the
5:19
Speaker 2: idea of the bike lanes, it was Bloomberg that put
5:21
Speaker 2: in the bike lanes. It sounds good, but this is
5:24
Speaker 2: New York City. We're in the northeast. You know, like
5:27
Speaker 2: five six months a year, it's too cold to even
5:28
Speaker 2: be riding a bike. It's not a city that's great
5:32
Speaker 2: for bikes. A city it's a traffic city. So by
5:35
Speaker 2: putting in the bike lanes, you'll interfere with the traffic
5:38
Speaker 2: a little. Then Deblasio comes in and expands them, and
5:42
Speaker 2: Adams and Mom Donny make these bike lanes bigger and bigger,
5:45
Speaker 2: so you lose like two lanes of a sixth avenue,
5:48
Speaker 2: you lose like two lanes of fifth Avenue. Causes traffic
5:51
Speaker 2: to be even worse. But the Democrats like that. They
5:54
Speaker 2: want you to suffer if you're in a car. They
5:56
Speaker 2: don't like cars. So the other problem now is these
5:59
Speaker 2: were bikes. Then they invent the e bikes, and then
6:03
Speaker 2: they invent the electric scooters and those electric whatever the
6:07
Speaker 2: hell those are those Amazon guys that are zipping around
6:09
Speaker 2: on So these e bikes and e scooters, they're not
6:12
Speaker 2: going four miles an hour, they're going like fifty miles
6:16
Speaker 2: an hour. And they're dangerous, very very dangerous. When you
6:20
Speaker 2: want to cross the street. You used to have to
6:22
Speaker 2: just watch out for cars. Forget that cars, You just
6:25
Speaker 2: got to watch out for these e bikes. It's incredibly dangerous.
6:29
Speaker 2: And there it's just the wild wild West. They can
6:31
Speaker 2: do whatever they want, ride wherever they want. They're in
6:33
Speaker 2: the wrong lane, they're going through lights, they're going the
6:36
Speaker 2: wrong way down the street, they're up on the sidewalk.
6:38
Speaker 2: You got to regulate them, and we keep talking about that,
6:42
Speaker 2: but the city council looks like they're going to try
6:44
Speaker 2: to do this. The city Council speaker Julie men And
6:48
Speaker 2: she's a Democrat, but she's sort of like an old fashioned,
6:51
Speaker 2: common sense kind of democrat. So she is now holding
6:54
Speaker 2: hearings trying to get this all regulated. It would be.
6:59
Speaker 2: And you know they're always yelling and screaming about revenue.
7:01
Speaker 2: They're always trying to collect revenue. That's why they increase
7:05
Speaker 2: the tolls on the bridges, that's why they have the
7:06
Speaker 2: congestion pricing. If you really want to increase the revenue,
7:10
Speaker 2: get it from these bikes. They're not paying a penny.
7:14
Speaker 2: First of all, every bike, scooter, e bike, e anything
7:18
Speaker 2: should be licensed, just like a car. You got to
7:21
Speaker 2: get a license. It's got to be on your bike.
7:23
Speaker 2: You got to pay for the license, it's whatever. It's
7:26
Speaker 2: two hundred dollars to get the license and it's fifty
7:29
Speaker 2: dollars a year or something. That way, you're getting revenue
7:32
Speaker 2: all the time off it. Also that way, when you
7:35
Speaker 2: want to know who they are, you know who they
7:37
Speaker 2: are and start ticketing them. It's a big source of revenue.
7:42
Speaker 2: If they're running through red lights, if they're going the
7:43
Speaker 2: wrong way down the street, ticket them. If they're going
7:47
Speaker 2: to have their own lane like a car, they should
7:49
Speaker 2: have the same rules as a car. They should have
7:51
Speaker 2: to obey all the traffic rolls. Start ticketing the e
7:53
Speaker 2: bikes and you got a ton of revenue coming in.
7:57
Speaker 2: It would be the best revenue source of all make
8:00
Speaker 2: everything safer. So hopefully city Council Julie Mennon will get
8:04
Speaker 2: that done. We'll see you never. Now, you got to
8:09
Speaker 2: get rid of those what do you call those things?
8:11
Speaker 2: Those petty cabs. That is the stupidest thing in the world.
8:15
Speaker 2: The horse drawn carriage. I could see that, it's kind
8:17
Speaker 2: of romantic, it's kind of Christmas that you're in this
8:21
Speaker 2: horse drawn carriage with the blanket. But the e bike
8:25
Speaker 2: or no, the petty caab, the petty cab, it's just
8:28
Speaker 2: some illegal alien furiously pedaling in front of you, sweating
8:32
Speaker 2: all over you and blaring music in your ear. It's
8:35
Speaker 2: just a disgusting thing. Get rid of all of them. Hey,
8:38
Speaker 2: we were talking about these crazy socialists Elsai. I just
8:43
Speaker 2: wanted Michigan. I forgot to mention Francesca Hang. You know
8:47
Speaker 2: this is the woman that called for canceling Thanksgiving. This
8:51
Speaker 2: is what the Democrats are down to. They hate everything
8:54
Speaker 2: anything American they hate. They just hate it. They don't
8:58
Speaker 2: like the Fourth of July. They don't like you wave
9:00
Speaker 2: in a flag, they don't like football. Whatever American culture is,
9:05
Speaker 2: they hate it. So Francesca Hank calling to get rid
9:08
Speaker 2: of Thanksgiving. She was asked to explain herself. She's a
9:13
Speaker 2: state assembly woman from Madison. She wants to be the
9:18
Speaker 2: Wisconsin governor. But she said thanks She had to explain this.
9:22
Speaker 2: She said, Thanksgiving is incredibly painful for many people. Thanksgiving
9:30
Speaker 2: is it's celebrating colonialism. What she wants to cancel Thanksgiving?
9:36
Speaker 2: She said it should have been done in sixteen twenty one.
9:38
Speaker 2: She worked as a chef. I guess that qualifies it
9:41
Speaker 2: to be governor. She worked as a chef, and she
9:46
Speaker 2: said it takes, if it takes a worldwide pandemic for
9:49
Speaker 2: us to realize we should stop celebrating colonialism and that
9:54
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving was the original super spreader event that killed indigenous people.
10:00
Speaker 2: I guess she's talking about there was a spread of smallpox.
10:04
Speaker 2: They killed a lot of people. But you know, it's
10:07
Speaker 2: terrible these crazy socials's trying to tear down our culture.
10:10
Speaker 2: But on the other hand, I'm not that thrilled with Thanksgiving.
10:14
Speaker 2: I mean, there are certain holidays we should get rid of,
10:16
Speaker 2: don't you think. But you're saying, well, Thanksgiving is a
10:20
Speaker 2: chance to the whole family to get together. Who wants
10:23
Speaker 2: to get together with these You's got uncles and aunts,
10:25
Speaker 2: you can't stand you got cousins. You don't want to see?
10:28
Speaker 2: Who wants to get together with all these people? And
10:30
Speaker 2: redo the menu. I mean, I like turkey, but I
10:34
Speaker 2: don't know turkey stuffing it. I know you're saying, oh,
10:38
Speaker 2: it's delicious. You know, if it was that delicious, it'd
10:40
Speaker 2: be on the menu and every restaurant every night. You
10:42
Speaker 2: notice it's not going to any restaurant anywhere any day
10:47
Speaker 2: of the year. They got a cheeseburger on the menu.
10:49
Speaker 2: They have French fries on the menu. That's what because
10:52
Speaker 2: people will eat that. They like that. If you put
10:54
Speaker 2: turkey with gravy and cranbridge at the menu, you're probably
10:57
Speaker 2: going to go out of business as a restaurant. It's
10:59
Speaker 2: not that pompkiller. Hey remember Ken Griffin, the billionaire. He's
11:04
Speaker 2: the guy with the two hundred and twenty million dollar apartment.
11:07
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie was terrorizing him, dosing him standing on in
11:11
Speaker 2: front of his apartment. He said, and he's building billions
11:14
Speaker 2: of dollars worth of things in New York. He's a
11:16
Speaker 2: major tax payer, not to mention, he gives a fortune
11:20
Speaker 2: to our hospitals, our museums and all sorts of stuff.
11:23
Speaker 2: And he was gonna leave and that's it, and he's
11:25
Speaker 2: going to cancel the building. Well it turns out no,
11:27
Speaker 2: he's going ahead with everything. He will continue his massive project.
11:31
Speaker 2: He's building an enormous skyscraper at fifty second and Park Avenue.
11:37
Speaker 2: Now he's partners with Ornado and Steve Roth and the Rudents.
11:41
Speaker 2: All these guys are in this thing. But it's a
11:43
Speaker 2: big project. Picture fifty second and Park Avenue. They're tearing
11:50
Speaker 2: down like four buildings and this one huge, sixty five
11:55
Speaker 2: story skyscraper will replaced these four buildings. It would be
11:58
Speaker 2: right next to Fresco, the Great restaurant, Rosanna Scato's restaurant, Fresco,
12:03
Speaker 2: right next to there. It will have six thousand employees,
12:07
Speaker 2: which will be great for the restaurant. But on the
12:08
Speaker 2: other hand, as they point out, it's going to be
12:11
Speaker 2: like six years of construction and a mess all over
12:15
Speaker 2: that street. But he's going ahead with it. It's a yeah,
12:20
Speaker 2: I think it's sixty five stories, and it's going to
12:22
Speaker 2: have Griffin's own company. Citadel will be the major tenant,
12:27
Speaker 2: be the anchor tenant. So he's not leaving, not leaving
12:30
Speaker 2: New York. Hey, we mentioned last Hour, that's right, this
12:33
Speaker 2: is the second hour. We start at nine o'clock now
12:35
Speaker 2: every day nine to noon. Last hour. We mentioned Scott
12:39
Speaker 2: Pelley and Sharon Alfonsei sixty Minutes. They're going to be
12:44
Speaker 2: professors at Columbia, which is the most left wing fake
12:48
Speaker 2: news journalism school ever. But also here's something else. The
12:52
Speaker 2: ex boss of sixty Minutes who got fired wants to
12:56
Speaker 2: launch his own sixty minutes, a rival sixty minutes, call
13:01
Speaker 2: it sixty five minutes or something, a rival sixty minutes,
13:04
Speaker 2: and he wants to hire Scott Pelley and Sharon Alfonsi
13:09
Speaker 2: and create their own sixty minutes. Now, who the hell
13:13
Speaker 2: would put this on? I don't know, but apparently I'm
13:15
Speaker 2: sure this guy is called everywhere and nobody wants it,
13:18
Speaker 2: so he's trying to do it on his own. He's
13:20
Speaker 2: now trying to raise fifty million dollars to fund this. Normally,
13:26
Speaker 2: if you got a great TV show idea, and if
13:29
Speaker 2: you could bring in a couple of big name anchors.
13:32
Speaker 2: You call up ABC, you call up NBC, and say,
13:37
Speaker 2: we'll do our own sixty minutes. Well, you can do
13:39
Speaker 2: it on Sunday nights against sixty minutes. Well, I'm sure
13:42
Speaker 2: he did that and everybody said no. So then you
13:45
Speaker 2: call CNN, you call MSNBC, you call him. Apparently they
13:49
Speaker 2: said no. So he wants fifty million to create his
13:54
Speaker 2: own thing. I don't know what he would do with it.
13:56
Speaker 2: I guess just put it out. He put it on
13:57
Speaker 2: YouTube or something, do it live on online. One of
14:01
Speaker 2: those kind of deals. I'm sure he called NPR or
14:04
Speaker 2: one of those places. Hey, by the way, there's a
14:06
Speaker 2: study out of NPR. Since they lost their government funding.
14:10
Speaker 2: They lost it because they were so slanted, so left wing. PBS,
14:14
Speaker 2: NPR very biased, slanted left wing. Since they lost the
14:19
Speaker 2: government funding, they stepped up the bias. It's much much
14:24
Speaker 2: more left wing now. I know, if anybody with NPR,
14:29
Speaker 2: we try, we should were right down the middle. We
14:32
Speaker 2: stay right down the middle. We don't slant it the
14:34
Speaker 2: most biased news in the world. NPR does very well
14:38
Speaker 2: in New York. By the way, every left wing kook
14:40
Speaker 2: in New York listens to it and they think it's
14:44
Speaker 2: very straight. You know why, because they talk like this.
14:47
Speaker 2: You talk like this on the radio, You sound like
14:50
Speaker 2: you're a very serious person. Now I could do this
14:53
Speaker 2: for the whole show, but who the hell wants to
14:55
Speaker 2: listen to it? It sounds like you're listening to a
14:57
Speaker 2: golf announcer. So if talk show hosts, hey, you talk
15:01
Speaker 2: like this, it sounds like maybe you're just biased. But
15:04
Speaker 2: if you talk like this, it sounds like you're brilliant,
15:07
Speaker 2: even though you're not. Anyway, we'll take some calls. Next
15:09
Speaker 2: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number?
15:14
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
15:17
Speaker 1: What's better than two hours of Mark some owne three?
15:21
Speaker 1: The Mark some Own Show now nine two noon weekdays
15:26
Speaker 1: seven tenleo.
15:31
Speaker 2: It'll be even better a one hour version, Yeah, one
15:33
Speaker 2: hour every day. So I fought for that, but it
15:36
Speaker 2: didn't work. Now you know, Barrett Media, that's the big
15:40
Speaker 2: trade magazine of the radio business, Barrett Media. If you
15:43
Speaker 2: go to Barrettmedia dot com, this is a nice article
15:45
Speaker 2: today about the show about how we're going to three hours.
15:49
Speaker 2: To take a look at it Barrettmedia dot com. And
15:53
Speaker 2: it's up there right now on the website. I'll take
15:57
Speaker 2: some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero is the
16:00
Speaker 2: number we always want new callers. We got a lot
16:02
Speaker 2: of regular calls, like all kinds of new callers. Eight
16:05
Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten. Let's go to
16:10
Speaker 2: Dave in Chicago. Dave, how you doing.
16:13
Speaker 5: Good morning?
16:14
Speaker 3: Mark.
16:15
Speaker 5: With all due respect, you just stole my thunder because
16:18
Speaker 5: I was speaking with Chris, your producer, about the Barrett
16:23
Speaker 5: Media piece, which is the bible of the industry, and
16:27
Speaker 5: what really caught my attention, among other things in the piece,
16:32
Speaker 5: was the fact that you have a photographic memory, and
16:36
Speaker 5: you have so much materials, so when Steve Moore doesn't
16:40
Speaker 5: show up, you easily just segue into the volumes of
16:45
Speaker 5: information that you have. And lastly, I've noticed when there
16:49
Speaker 5: is a running story, say such as President Trump and
16:53
Speaker 5: the Iran War, you don't sound repetitive. You have the
16:58
Speaker 5: talent to make it sound like we're hearing this for
17:02
Speaker 5: the first time, in spite of the fact that it's
17:04
Speaker 5: extremely vital to our security.
17:08
Speaker 2: So think about Dave. You know, normally when a guy's
17:12
Speaker 2: buttering you up, it's there's a butt coming. With Dave
17:16
Speaker 2: there's never any butt coming. It's genuine.
17:20
Speaker 4: Mark.
17:20
Speaker 5: Can I say one last thing?
17:21
Speaker 6: Who's going to say this makes have a.
17:23
Speaker 5: Little self serving? But the very first day that you
17:26
Speaker 5: left seventy seven and you came down to wor I
17:33
Speaker 5: woke up at four point thirty in the morning, set
17:36
Speaker 5: three clocks, and I was your very first caller. And
17:41
Speaker 5: I get up and I make sure that I listened
17:44
Speaker 5: at eight o'clock Chicago time.
17:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, come morning.
17:48
Speaker 5: So you are deeply appreciated, and I thank you.
17:51
Speaker 2: All right, well, we appreciate you, Dave, thanks for calling
17:55
Speaker 2: to take care. Yeah. When we we all came over
17:58
Speaker 2: from the other place, it was me, Rush and Sean,
18:04
Speaker 2: although Sewan couldn't come for a while. Remember there was
18:06
Speaker 2: like six months where waiting for his contract to end
18:08
Speaker 2: over there. And then the management from over there came here,
18:12
Speaker 2: Tom Cuddy, Steve Borneman, And that's right. The first day
18:18
Speaker 2: I did the morning show, it was six to ten,
18:22
Speaker 2: and I remember the first guest was Robert Klein, who
18:27
Speaker 2: won't speak to me anymore. He's not a Trump fan.
18:32
Speaker 2: He's not a Trump fan, so he's not gonna come
18:35
Speaker 2: on anymore. Second guest that day was Bob Costas, who's
18:42
Speaker 2: not a Trump fan. He won't. We lost a lot
18:45
Speaker 2: of guests because of Donald Trump. And at the time
18:48
Speaker 2: iHeart had just bought w O R. And at the
18:50
Speaker 2: time it was such a dump. It was downtown by
18:55
Speaker 2: Wall Street, in these awful studios. It took iHeart like
18:59
Speaker 2: four five months to build us a good studio at iHeart.
19:03
Speaker 2: So we're down there for the first four or five months.
19:06
Speaker 2: But that was thirteen years ago. Thirteen years ago we
19:10
Speaker 2: all came over here. Anyway. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
19:14
Speaker 2: how you doing.
19:15
Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark. Yes, Mike, we've come a long way
19:20
Speaker 4: since mister Smith goes to Washington. Now it's mister al
19:23
Speaker 4: Sayad goes to Washington.
19:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, mister heads, it's a little.
19:28
Speaker 4: Hard to wrap our heads around it. But you know,
19:30
Speaker 4: you know, two things that you've been talking about for
19:32
Speaker 4: the last hour make me laugh. One is the idiotic
19:36
Speaker 4: Hollywood actresses and singers who were fawning all over Fauci.
19:41
Speaker 4: They should be excoriated in the loudest terms possible by
19:46
Speaker 4: the public. I mean, it's dispaceful what they did and
19:49
Speaker 4: their complicity in this whole pandemic thing, and the other
19:52
Speaker 4: one is how al sayad again and Corey Bush when
19:56
Speaker 4: they're giving their speeches there they lapsed into this. You know,
19:59
Speaker 4: they're little patois. You know, they sound like they just
20:02
Speaker 4: walked off the set of Gone with the Wind all
20:03
Speaker 4: the time. Hilarious.
20:05
Speaker 2: True, that's a good point. Thanks for calling. Yeah, she does.
20:08
Speaker 2: Listen to Corey Bush.
20:09
Speaker 1: This ain't over, y'all, This ain't over.
20:12
Speaker 5: And when I.
20:13
Speaker 2: Said, last time, getting a headache. Let's go to uh
20:19
Speaker 2: Randall in Maryland. Randall, how you doing?
20:23
Speaker 6: Yes, march yes, true broadcast professional.
20:27
Speaker 2: Thank you.

20:46
Speaker 6: Yes?
20:49
Speaker 3: Great, I've been trying to read too for weeks now.
20:52

21:00
Speaker 3: We love your yes, your radio show. We love your voice.
21:04
Speaker 3: It's very calm and almost relaxing compared to others.
21:12
Speaker 2: And uh, yeah, there is a lot of yelling on radio,
21:17
Speaker 2: no reason yell.
21:19
Speaker 3: And also your lightheartedness. You seem to take things, you know,
21:23
Speaker 3: with a grain assault. With everything that's going on, my
21:26
Speaker 3: husband gets extremely heated up and I tell him calm down.
21:33
Speaker 2: He by you or about politics?
21:36
Speaker 3: No politics? Oh okay, I wish you wouldn't watched that's
21:39
Speaker 3: only watched it all day. What's going on? Yeah? At
21:42
Speaker 3: any rate, I'm a big tim supporter. I hope that
21:48
Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman gets in because he's a wonderful guy. A

21:55
Speaker 3: five and Bruce came to the house declared the day

22:25
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. Hey, when we come back, the brilliant
22:28
Speaker 2: Steve Forbes, we bring you the smartest people around. We'll
22:32
Speaker 2: talk to Steve Forbes next on seven to ten wo R.
22:36
Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show Live from the WR Life
22:40
Speaker 1: Back Studios.
22:43
Speaker 2: Well, we'd like to bring you all the smartest people
22:45
Speaker 2: on earth and with us right now the great Steve Forbes,
22:48
Speaker 2: chairman of Forbes Media, which you should be reading every day.
22:52
Speaker 2: Also a best selling author. Get his latest book, Inflation.
22:56
Speaker 2: You'll learn a lot from it and follow Steve Forbes
22:59
Speaker 2: on Twitter and all that stuff. Steve Forbes, how you doing.
23:04
Speaker 1: Well?
23:04
Speaker 6: I'm doing better than Michigan right now, and you're feeling
23:09
Speaker 6: good about the Yankees. Their new player Lombard hit a
23:13
Speaker 6: game winning home run. So that was nice to see.
23:16
Speaker 6: Look into the future. So yeah, yeah, now I was
23:21
Speaker 6: on the Yankees. I'm in a good mood. Well, shouldn't
23:25
Speaker 6: Republicans be happy that the crazy Kami socialist whatever the
23:28
Speaker 6: hell he is, Elsie I'd won as the Democrat. Isn't
23:31
Speaker 6: that the best chance for Republicans to keep to win
23:34
Speaker 6: that Senate seat? Oh? I think we've got a good
23:37
Speaker 6: chance to win it, but we should not take it
23:39
Speaker 6: for granted. If voters are in a foul mood for
23:43
Speaker 6: whatever reason, people they may just vote for this clown
23:47
Speaker 6: because of as a protest. The good thing, though, is,
23:51
Speaker 6: if we can take any comfort from that, is how
23:54
Speaker 6: close that election was. He was one point, had fifteen
23:57
Speaker 6: twenty points. And then as people learn more about what
24:01
Speaker 6: he actually stood for, and as he kept opening his mouth,
24:05
Speaker 6: it tightened up. But and then the Congressional District seventh
24:10
Speaker 6: Congressional Michigan, Michigan were a lunatic one. The two moderates
24:15
Speaker 6: got fifty seven percent, they split the vote, and the
24:18
Speaker 6: communists got forty two. But the Republicans have to realize
24:23
Speaker 6: they have a fire out there, and you don't fight
24:25
Speaker 6: fire with a water pistol. And we've got to get
24:28
Speaker 6: our messaging together. We've got to come up with exciting
24:30
Speaker 6: tax cuts and go on offense both against their lunacy
24:35
Speaker 6: and positive things for the future. That's what people want
24:38
Speaker 6: to know, what's going to happen next. People are in
24:41
Speaker 6: an anxious, worried mood right now. And I'll be blunt.
24:46
Speaker 6: I think the president. You know, he went after the
24:48
Speaker 6: oil companies on oil prices, which is ridiculous. He stepped
24:52
Speaker 6: on a great story about how well the numbers are
24:55
Speaker 6: coming in on American manufacturing. Who knew that all they
24:58
Speaker 6: focused on was President goes after oil company, So stop
25:02
Speaker 6: stepping on your great news.
25:04
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, well his point was, there's no reason to
25:08
Speaker 2: raise the price of gas here in this country because
25:11
Speaker 2: we produce all our own oil straight or horme moose
25:13
Speaker 2: doesn't affect us. But I guess you know it's not
25:17
Speaker 2: a good idea to ever put in price controls anywhere
25:19
Speaker 2: on any industry, is it.
25:21
Speaker 6: No, And it's an international market, but that gets in
25:24
Speaker 6: the weeds on it. But focus on the great news man,
25:29
Speaker 6: manufacturing has really made a turn. Well, if you don't
25:33
Speaker 6: get the message out there and say it with confidence,
25:36
Speaker 6: people are just gonna shrug. Even if their own situations
25:40
Speaker 6: beginning to get better. They're worried about the future. So
25:43
Speaker 6: come up with some exciting stuff for the future.
25:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, Steve Forbes, getting back to Lsayad, there was
25:50
Speaker 2: a time in this country where if somebody said you
25:52
Speaker 2: were a communist, you were blacklisted. You couldn't work in
25:55
Speaker 2: Hollywood ever again. And now if you're a communist, I'll
25:58
Speaker 2: hold a fundraiser for you at their house. What what changed?
26:02
Speaker 2: How did this happen?
26:04
Speaker 6: Well, you talk about Hollywood, you know they have these
26:07
Speaker 6: monster movies in Hollywood, and the monster always seems to
26:10
Speaker 6: come back from the swamp. Well, we have to and
26:13
Speaker 6: we have to learn. Unfortunately, bad ideas never die. They're
26:17
Speaker 6: lurking in the swamp. And what you have here is
26:20
Speaker 6: a combination of people don't remember the past, and people
26:24
Speaker 6: aren't taught about the past, so they have no context
26:28
Speaker 6: for this socialist nonsense. It sounds, oh, we're going to
26:31
Speaker 6: get free stuff, exciting young people. Anti establishment young people
26:36
Speaker 6: always like that, and so there's no counter memory and
26:39
Speaker 6: no counter education that they received about what actually happened
26:43
Speaker 6: in the past. And this co chair whatever they call
26:47
Speaker 6: themselves of the d S, a so called democratic whenever
26:52
Speaker 6: whenever far left group called itself democratic, it means dictatorship,
26:57
Speaker 6: the dictator Socialists of America. He said, capitalism is failing. Well,
27:02
Speaker 6: how do you account for the fact that, for all problems,
27:05
Speaker 6: we still have the highest standard of living in the world,
27:08
Speaker 6: and the incomes are starting to move up. And when
27:12
Speaker 6: Trump had his first term before COVID, guess what was happening.
27:15
Speaker 6: Lower incomes are growing better than higher incomes percentage wise.
27:21
Speaker 6: So I wish the Republicans would get an offense. Also
27:25
Speaker 6: on healthcare. I mean, I don't care what the government says.
27:28
Speaker 6: Health premiums are going up and people are paying more
27:32
Speaker 6: out of pocket, and so advocate removing the barriers and
27:37
Speaker 6: health savings accounts. Put the money in your the patient's pocket,
27:41
Speaker 6: not the third party. They should be going on offense
27:46
Speaker 6: and stop apologizing or going silent.
27:48
Speaker 2: It's not going to work.
27:49
Speaker 4: Well.
27:50
Speaker 2: It's tough to do because for the average American who's
27:52
Speaker 2: working all day, doesn't sit there and watch cable news
27:54
Speaker 2: and doesn't read everything, and they basically just get home
27:57
Speaker 2: and put on the nightly news and the network for
28:00
Speaker 2: twenty minutes. They're getting the impression from these fake news
28:03
Speaker 2: people that this economy is in crisis right now and
28:06
Speaker 2: that's not the case, is it.
28:08
Speaker 6: No, it isn't. And people get their news also now,
28:12
Speaker 6: especially younger people. They don't even watch the nightly news anymore.
28:16
Speaker 6: They go on with Apple or whatever. But we have
28:20
Speaker 6: to take comfort Ronald Reagan when he had only three
28:23
Speaker 6: networks which didn't like him, and the major newspapers at
28:26
Speaker 6: the time, like the New York Times, that hasn't changed.
28:29
Speaker 6: There are no fans. They're always looking for gloom and
28:32
Speaker 6: doom in the economy. But he got the message across.
28:35
Speaker 6: And that's one thing President Trump has not done well,
28:38
Speaker 6: has learned to sit behind a desk in the Oval
28:40
Speaker 6: Office and explain things. When he gave that speech several
28:44
Speaker 6: months ago in the Iran War, even though I didn't
28:48
Speaker 6: think was particularly well delivered, those who watched it cut
28:51
Speaker 6: him slack. He majority agreed we cannot allow around to
28:55
Speaker 6: get nuclear weapons. So if you lay your case before
28:58
Speaker 6: the American people, something as tough as Iran, people will
29:02
Speaker 6: cut the present slack. And so you've got to trust
29:06
Speaker 6: them take your case to them.
29:07
Speaker 2: Yeah. So a lot of obviously Democrats hate the presidents
29:11
Speaker 2: of dealing with Iran, and a lot of Republicans don't.
29:13
Speaker 6: That's an understatement.
29:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of Republicans think this is terrible. You know,
29:18
Speaker 2: either go finish them off or so. But this on again,
29:21
Speaker 2: off again. There is some logic to it, isn't there.
29:24
Speaker 2: It keeps them busy. It keeps Iran busy with this
29:27
Speaker 2: rather than with Esbul and who eats and all that.
29:31
Speaker 6: Well, what it's done is that they've are still now supplying,
29:36
Speaker 6: especially the hoodies who are trying to take control of
29:40
Speaker 6: the North I mean the Red Sea, the way the
29:42
Speaker 6: Iranians are doing with this Strait of Hormuz. So the
29:46
Speaker 6: on again, off again unfortunately gives the impression that we
29:49
Speaker 6: don't have a strategy, that we're desperate about the midterm elections,
29:54
Speaker 6: and there was the lack of consistency. You know, you
29:57
Speaker 6: saw the joke online that the president's going to at
30:00
Speaker 6: the Nobel Priestprize because he's under the Iran war eight times,
30:04
Speaker 6: and and and and so that kind of thing. It
30:09
Speaker 6: hurts the message, the other messages he has because you
30:13
Speaker 6: see this on again, off again the war is over. No,
30:15
Speaker 6: it's not over. We're gonna bum the Smithereens know we're not.
30:19
Speaker 6: We're gonna have negotiations. Well maybe maybe not. Iran has
30:22
Speaker 6: violated every negotiation agreement they've made since April since the
30:26
Speaker 6: presidents are cleared to cease fire. So I think people
30:31
Speaker 6: want a firm hand and the feeling that there is
30:35
Speaker 6: indeed a strategy here and lay it out to the people.
30:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, before we run out of time, Steve Forbes,
30:41
Speaker 2: you're very good on this subject AI. Now a lot
30:43
Speaker 2: of people are living in fear of AI. It's going
30:46
Speaker 2: to ruin everything everybody's gonna lose their job, the data
30:49
Speaker 2: centers are going to destroy our town or everything. What
30:52
Speaker 2: should be really what you would be feeling about AI
30:56
Speaker 2: right now?
30:57
Speaker 6: Well, AI is unfortunately one of those things, as I
31:00
Speaker 6: think we've mentioned before, as a friend of mine mentioned
31:03
Speaker 6: to me Mark Mills is, First of all, AI is
31:05
Speaker 6: a terrible name. We don't call We don't call planes
31:09
Speaker 6: artificial birds, or cars artificial horses, and and and so.
31:14
Speaker 6: AI sounds ominous, and yes, it's going to mean change.
31:19
Speaker 6: But the amazing thing is employment has actually gone up
31:24
Speaker 6: in the last couple of years since the President Trump
31:27
Speaker 6: retook office. And also the big thing which we should
31:31
Speaker 6: be emphasizing, it's what it's doing in healthcare. It's holding
31:35
Speaker 6: out the promise in healthcare already of getting cures faster.
31:39
Speaker 6: One example, a baby had a rare genetic uh bound
31:45
Speaker 6: malfunction of the sort what they call one letter, and
31:48
Speaker 6: they prepared the parents, you know it's going to have
31:51
Speaker 6: a tragic end, and they are able thanks to AI
31:55
Speaker 6: and the information that got from AI to find that
31:57
Speaker 6: one rogue genetic letter, and that baby now is about
32:02
Speaker 6: one and a half years old and surviving. So we
32:04
Speaker 6: should emphasize US has great promise. Any big new thing
32:08
Speaker 6: can be misused, but also has the promise to substantially
32:11
Speaker 6: improve our healthcare and ultimately get drugs faster. You know,
32:16
Speaker 6: I'm my age. I don't want to wait ten years
32:18
Speaker 6: for a drug. I'd like it next week, thank you
32:21
Speaker 6: very much. And AI is going to sharply reduce the
32:25
Speaker 6: costs of getting these new drugs and the effectiveness of
32:29
Speaker 6: them because they can find out what works for you
32:31
Speaker 6: may not work for me. But we're going to have
32:34
Speaker 6: individual medicine in the next ten years like we couldn't
32:37
Speaker 6: imagine today.
32:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, you pointed out once I never forgot this that
32:42
Speaker 2: people had the same fear of electricity when it was
32:45
Speaker 2: evented when it came along.
32:46
Speaker 6: Yes, and that's how we got the novel Frankenstein. Oh,
32:51
Speaker 6: they're going to create these monsters with electricity. Well, well
32:55
Speaker 6: it's great entertainment.
32:59
Speaker 2: That's a good point. Well, Steve Forbes, great stuff. Everybody,
33:02
Speaker 2: get his book Inflation. It's a very good book. It's
33:04
Speaker 2: his latest book, and you should read that. And of
33:06
Speaker 2: course Forbes Media, you do a wonderful job every day.
33:10
Speaker 2: Just go online Forbes dot com and follow Steve Forbes
33:14
Speaker 2: on Twitter and thanks for being with us.
33:17
Speaker 6: Thank you, Mark. Keep up the good work. We're gonna
33:19
Speaker 6: need it.
33:19
Speaker 2: All right, take care, Hey, don't forget Buck and Clay
33:23
Speaker 2: coming up at noon today with a great show for you.
33:26
Speaker 2: And then three o'clock we got Sean Hannity, the most
33:29
Speaker 2: listen to radio show in America. You got Jesse Kelly
33:33
Speaker 2: at six and Jimmy Fayla. Besides being a very smart
33:36
Speaker 2: show making a lot of great points and interesting content,
33:40
Speaker 2: it is the funniest show on radio. Jimmy Fayla every
33:44
Speaker 2: night nine to midnight here on seven ten.
33:47
Speaker 1: Wr what's better than two hours of Mark some Own
33:51
Speaker 1: three The Mark Some Owned Show now nine two noon
33:55
Speaker 1: weekdays seven tenor.
34:00
Speaker 2: Well, it was interesting, but ai you got to remember,
34:03
Speaker 2: as Steve Forbes pointed out, when electricity was invented, the
34:07
Speaker 2: same thing happened. People protested it. They didn't want electricity around.
34:10
Speaker 2: They thought it was going to be dangerous, They thought
34:12
Speaker 2: it was going to destroy everything and everybody, and that
34:17
Speaker 2: hysteria got so widespread. That's when the author Mary Shelley
34:21
Speaker 2: wrote the book Frankenstein, this is what could happen with electricity.
34:23
Speaker 2: You could build monsters with it. So it's the same
34:27
Speaker 2: thing going on now with AI. AI. The big AI
34:32
Speaker 2: companies Open Ai and Tropic Google. They were in the
34:35
Speaker 2: White House last week for big, big meetings, lots of
34:38
Speaker 2: talks with AI. The only problem with AI right now,
34:41
Speaker 2: there is a couple problems. One used to do a
34:45
Speaker 2: Google search, let's say something medical, and all these things
34:50
Speaker 2: would come up, and you'd look at one is from
34:51
Speaker 2: the Mayo Clinic and they said, well they're pretty reliable,
34:54
Speaker 2: one is from the Cleveland Clinic. Well that's pretty reliable,
34:57
Speaker 2: and one is from some weird medical site answered, and
35:01
Speaker 2: you decide what to go to. Now, the problem with
35:03
Speaker 2: AI is you don't know where it's getting the information from.
35:06
Speaker 2: It could be the most reliable site, it could be
35:09
Speaker 2: the least reliable site most of them. If you can
35:13
Speaker 2: google AI, it'll show you the source at the bottom.
35:17
Speaker 2: The other problem is if you do anything on AI
35:20
Speaker 2: trying to get news or anything political, the AI is
35:24
Speaker 2: very very slanted, very biased. It tends to only use
35:29
Speaker 2: the most left wing fake news sites. You know, you're
35:32
Speaker 2: getting it from CBS News, you're getting it from MSNBC,
35:35
Speaker 2: you're getting it from NPS. It's very fake news. That's
35:39
Speaker 2: one thing that was discussed in this meetings with in
35:42
Speaker 2: the meetings with the White House, trying to get the
35:45
Speaker 2: bias out of AI. And also, you know, like one
35:49
Speaker 2: of the AI companies I think was Meta, decided to
35:52
Speaker 2: include Newsmax as a news source, and believe it or not,
35:56
Speaker 2: all the fake news went crazy yelling and screaming about it.
36:00
Speaker 2: But it's it's it's that's exactly who you should be using.
36:03
Speaker 2: You know, if you're gonna use MS, now use Newsmax
36:05
Speaker 2: at the same time. Balance it out, get both points
36:08
Speaker 2: of view. But they've been very, very slanted, so be
36:12
Speaker 2: very careful using AI on anything political. Hey, we'll be
