  Speaker 1: This is seven to tenor boy, the Mark Simoon Show starts.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Now. Oh well, hey, I got a lot to get
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: to today. We'll get to the tanker. We'll get to Tucker,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Mom, Donnie, We'll get to Luigi. We
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: got a lot of stuff to talk about today. So
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: that you might have seen on the news that the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: United States of America seized a Venezuelan oil tanker. It
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: looked pretty impressive, the military operation with the planes and
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: fighter jets and helicopters and our military repelling down onto
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the deck, seizing this massive oil tanker with thousands and
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: thousands of gallons of oil on if it was about
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: seventy million worth of oil. It was a Venezuelan ship.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: The whole thing was illegal because it was violating our sanctions.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: And of course you had all the fake news all
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: up in arms. Here's that old weather beaten, old hag Martha.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Rattott sources telling ABC News it was headed for Cuba,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: capable of carrying up to two million barrels of oil.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Today's seizure marking the first time the US has overtly
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: interfered with oil exports, Venezuela's main source of revenue.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Until now, the US.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Has been targeting boats they say are carrying drugs, striking
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: at least twenty two boats and killing nearly ninety people,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: including two survivors.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Now this old Martha rat, it's this old hag looks
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: like Granny on a Beverly hillbillize, you know, not quite
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the mother on Golden Girls. But she's getting there. But
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you notice her language overtly interfered with Venezuela. If if
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you were watching this, you must think this is the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: most awful thing. Why would we overtly interfere with a nice, little, peaceful,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: little oil shipman. Why would we see? Well, she forgot
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to explain that the ship was in total violation of
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: US sanctions. Now, let me just explain. When it comes
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: to sanctions, they're never enforced. You know, we have sanctions
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: at times where you're not allowed to buy Russian oil,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: you're not allowed to buy Iranian oil, or you're not
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: allowed to ship oil to this country or to that country.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: These are sanctions now, they've just never enforced. Biden was
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the king of this. You know, remember Russia did they
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: invaded Ukraine or at one point when Russia did something awful,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Biden big press conference. He said, I am placing six
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty sanctions on Russia, and the fake news
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: applauded and said, wow, look at him, stand up to Russia. Well,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: they never told the audience that there was already twenty
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: seven hundred sanctions on Russia that weren't being enforced, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: these six hundred weren't going to be enforced, and they're
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: never enforced. It's the silliest thing in the world. Can
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: you imagine if cops when they pull you over for
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: a speeding ticket, never forced them, if you throw it
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: away and you didn't go to court, nothing, whatever, you'd
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: never enforced them. Well, nobody would stop speeding. So President
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Trump decided, let's actually enforce one of these sanctions. Let's
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: actually do what we're supposed to do and enforce one.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: So they seized the ship, took the oil. She said,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a couple of million barrels. It's seventy million worth of oil.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: And reporters, of course went nuts asking them about it.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: We've just seized a tanker on the coast of venezuela
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: large tanker, very large, largest one ever sees. Extra and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: other things are happening.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, they cut the clip here. But the reporter said, well,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: what are you gonna do with the oil? And he said,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess we keep it. You know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: he hadn't thought about that's just simply enforcing the sanction.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: And then when he said I guess we keep it,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: of course fake news went nuts, how they can't keep
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: their oil. Well, what would you do with it? It's
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: a sanction you're supposed to enforce. You're supposed to seize it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: That's okay, despite what the fake news tells you. Now
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that you've seized it, what do you do with the oil?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: If you don't keep it? What do you do with it?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Do you give it back to somebody? You send it
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: back to? That wouldn't make any sense. So what do
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: you do with the oil? You could put it up
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: on eBay and sell it. You could go sell it somewhere.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: You keep it, I guess. Now. The price of oil
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: went up a little yesterday the seizing of a tanker,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: but not much it was it went only went up
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: one percent. And what this means is if he continues
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to do this kind of stuff, the countries may actually
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: start obeying the sanctions. They may stop violating sanctions. Can
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: you imagine such a thing? What's next? And he un
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: hinted there's other things coming now. You know, he's got
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: talking about going into Venezuela, knocking out all their drug facilities,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: stopping all that. You know, if he stops all their
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: oil shipments, they're just going to go broke. They got
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: a billion dollars in reserve, but at some point they'll
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: go broke. But he was also hinting it going after
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Columbia next.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Columbia's producing a lot of drugs. They have cocaine factories
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: that they make cocaine, as you know, and they sell
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it right into the say so he better wise up
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: or he'll be next.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Now, I don't know what this could do to people.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: You know, if you go after all the fentanyl, if
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: you go after all the cocaine, at some point there
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: could be a tremendous shortage of drugs. I don't know.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it can have all these drug
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: agents running around try to arrest all the drug dealers,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: but that we've been doing that for a thousand years,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: it never seems to get that much done. If you
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: actually made the supply of drugs dry up, that could
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: be interesting. First of all, it would drive the price
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: way up, so it's interesting. But now, of course you're
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: going to see Chuck Schumer with his glasses all falls
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: ugged up, yelling and screaming about how dare you seize
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: an oil tanker. You're going to see all the craziest senators,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: you know, the blooming dolls and the Chris Murphy's yelling
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: and screaming and huffing and puffing about it. But it's
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: a great thing. It's a great thing. You see all
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: these experts explaining this stuff.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserve in the world,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: so it's fourteen trillion dollars worth of oil and it's
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: a primary means of the regime funding.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're stopping the primary funding of that awful regime.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: It is a significant escalation, but this might be the
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: start of a campaign. With all that naval power, the
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: US can certainly stop oil tankers from leaving Venezuela, which
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: could completely cut off their ability to sell their own
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Krugle world.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now that's the other thing. You might not have
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to fire too many shots after after a while. I
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: would think if you're a narco terrorist in one of
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: those speedboats. You might not really want to go on
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: one of those missions and go, you know, through the
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: water anymore. And if you're one of these tankers, if
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: it's going to get seized, you may not want to
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: send one of these tankers out. So it all might
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: just stop. So we'll see what happens. Schumer, of course,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: yelling and screaming about everybody and everything. They're still on
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Pete Hexath hexit arrangement syndrome continues. They want him gone.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: He's not going anywhere. Hey. By the way, watch the
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: video of this mission, the seizing of the tanker. Real
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: impressive precision military mission. You got to remember under Hexath,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the military has pulled off some pretty amazing missions, the
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: bombing of the Iran nuclear facilities, the seizing of this tanker.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: It's pretty good. Doesn't impress Chuck Schumer though, plan to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: demand Secretary Hegseth.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Give the total unedited videos of what happened in the
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: September second boat strikes. I will demand of Rubio and
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Hegseth what the hell is going on in the Caribbean,
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: and then his way up.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: What are their plans? Good for Schumer? This is what
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: he does best. Talk mix speeches, yell and scream. He
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: never actually does anything. You remember all those fake Sunday
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: press conferences with all those issues he was fighting for.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Soon as the press conference is over, he'd throw the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: index cards in a waste basket and forget about it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Same thing here he's demanding. He better nowhere else, or
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: that's all he does. He just talks and then leaves.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: He wants the videos every second, unedited videos must be released.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: They hate that he got these big new glasses just
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: to watch these videos. But you'll never he'll yell and
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: scream about it. Now, what democrats generally do is they
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: start this stuff, they go crazy, it becomes a major issue.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Then they keep focus grouping it, and then after about
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: a week or two they say, huh, it's not registering,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: it's not working on people. Then they throw it right
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: in the waste basket. Find something else. They don't really
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: care about any of this stuff. Affordability that seems to
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: be working, that has registered, even though there's not that
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: much of an affordabil crisis. There was a terrible affordability
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: crisis under Joe Biden, where of inflation went nuts the
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: highest level in fifty years, and for the middle class
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the highest level ever. It was horrible under Biden. Trump
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: has brought it down almost in half. It's going to
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: take another six months to bring it down the other half.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: But so it's Biden's affordability crisis. They never mentioned that part.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: But even on CNBC, which is the most left wing slanted,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: even on CNBC yesterday, Jay Clayton, who's the US attorney,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: he's the former SEC chairman, very knowledgeable guy financially on
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the economy. All that's very not brilliant guy, very good guy,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Jay Clayton, he was the guest. But even the CNBC
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: panel had to admit that this affordability crisis was all
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the fault of Joe Biden.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: The affordability issue is but from the twenty two percent increase.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: In prices in inflation under Biden, there's this full stop
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: right there.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: That's the affordability issue. And you ought to be able
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: to explain.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: That, right, That's right.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: And look, I think that with the economic team President
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: Trump and the economic team led by Scott Dessant, you
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: have people who very much understand this and it was
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: a they were thrown you know what, I would say,
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: the worst economy for the average American in my adult
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: lifetime in terms of the like you said, the incredible
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: increase in prices at the household.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Now, so this affordability thing seems to work. If you
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: just keep yelling at screaming this affordability crisis, people start
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: to believe it and hold it against Trump.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: They did this exact same play years ago against George HW.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Bush and it worked. George H. W. Bush Bush Senior
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: was running against this unknown young governor, Bill Clinton, and
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: they hadn't got the word affordability yet. That came out
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: of focus groups a few weeks ago. Focus groups found
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the best word was affordability. But it was back in
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: ninety two Bush versus Clinton, and they kept talking about
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the economic crisis. They made it look like they were
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: in the worst with the economy. It was having problems,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't the worst economy. They made it sound
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: like it was, and it helped Bush Senior lose to Clinton.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: And back then, the big newscast was the CBS Evening
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: News with Dan Rather, and every night you can go
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: back and watch the videos of this all through the campaign.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Every night the CBS Evening News did the special feature
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Economy in Crisis economy in crisis. They would open with
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: that and then rather had to do the actual news.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: But before he did, he said, now coming up, we'll
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: get to our special feature, the economy in crisis or
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: is a crisis in the economy? And every night they
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: would do this special feature, but the economy in crisis. Well,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: on November fourth, the election came and Clinton won, and
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: that night they dropped the feature. There was no feature,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: no economy and crisis, no crisis in the economy. They
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: never mentioned it again. As soon as Clinton won, they
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: dropped the feature and never used it again. But it
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: helped kill Bush. So they've brought this play back. And
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: sure enough, if they keep yelling and screaming about affordability, affordability, affordability,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: everyone thinks is a crisis. Now the president has not
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: been on top of this. He needs, you know, they
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: keep saying, you got to do better messaging. But it's
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: it's tough, you know, if every time anybody turns around,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: they see affordability crisis. So he's got to get back
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: out there in the campaign trail. He did the first
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: one this week in Pennsylvania. There'll be more of them coming,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: and he's got to talk about affordability. I have no.
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: Higher priority than making America affordable again. That's what we're
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: going to do. They gave you high prices, they gave
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: you the highest inflation in history, and we're giving you
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: we're bringing those prices down rapidly, lower prices, bigger paychecks.
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: You're getting lower prices, bigger X. We're getting inflation, we're
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: crushing it, and you're getting much higher wages. I mean,
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: the only thing that you used. It's really going up big.
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: It's called the stock market and your four oh one k.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, stock market has been on fire all year now.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: When the stock market goes crazy, goes way up. Well,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: of course it helps the big hedge fund guys of
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: billionaires Goldman's as those kind of guy, of course it
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: helps them. But it helps every working man and woman
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: in America because they got a four oh one k
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: pension and the pension's invested in stock. So it's driving
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: up your pension, driving up your four oh one k.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: But of course the media will never mention this. The
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: president gets no credit for it. You know, the smartest
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: guy is Larry Cudler, the best economist, and if you
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: watch Cudlow every day, four o'clock Fox Business Network, especially
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: the first five or ten minutes, Larry Cudler will go
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: over the exact most important statistics on the economy, laying
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: out how much better the economy is doing. He'll give
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: you a real data. It'll put it up on the
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: screen and it's fascinating. Then I'll right away go to
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the top economists in the world, Art Laugher, all of
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: this stuff, and if you watch that, you'll understand exactly
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: how good things are. The economy was bad under Biden,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: but it's getting better every week, and you'll give you
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the exact figures and data. Well, not everybody watches Cutlow
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: every day. You know, most people are watching Sherry Shepherd,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: they're watching the prices right, They're watching entertainment. You know,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: they're not watching that. So you gotta remember, for a
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: lot of people, they don't follow this stuff. They don't
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: listen to talk radio, they don't follow this closely. They
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: watch you man, we'll just check the evening news at
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: six point thirty. We'll watch that for ten minutes. That's
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: their news summary. So if you get these fake news
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: idiots like this Martha Raddatz.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Sources telling ABC News it was headed for Cuba capable
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: of carrying up to two million barrels of oil. Today's
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: seizure marking the first time the US has overtly inter
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: with the election.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: That's all you think. What they overtly interfered with a
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: country trying to ship some oil. She never mentions. It
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: was in total violation of US sanctions. It was an
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: illegal ship and illegalship. She never mentioned it. So if
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: you're just watching the ABC and evening news, what are
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: you supposed to think you're supposed to I think, slowly,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: but truly, one by one, people are starting to realize
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: you can't trust these people. President Trump saying the New
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: York Times should cease publication. Well, I gonna cease publication.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: New York Times actually doing pretty well. You can make
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of money with this fake news. In fact, subscriptions.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: You gotta remember with the newspaper, the print edition means
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: nothing anymore. It's just a money loser. The New York
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Times print edition probably has one hundred thousand people, but
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: it's online where people read the newspaper and you subscribe
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: online subscriptions. New York Times just hit twelve million. It's
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: pretty impressive. Twelve million, online subscription. So you can make
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of money doing this fake news. But there
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: should be some Federal Trade Commission something stepping in on labeling.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: You know, if you falsely label a product, they can
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: step right in there and stop you. You know, if
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you say this product can definitely cure that you well
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: they can. They can make you change that label and
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: you'll have to put in there that doesn't actually cure
