  Speaker 1: Let's get back to the Mark Simone show on WR. Well,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: somehow it got to be Monday already. Anybody want to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: hear about Minnesota. I don't think so. I think the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Democrats have already overplayed their hand. I don't want to
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: talk about it anymore. It's enough with this Minnesota. But
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you've seen the video all weekend of these crazy they
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: just you know, actually, here's Kylie Kaylee Mcananey, former White
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: House Press secretary. This is a pretty good way to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: put it. America does not have a white supremacy problem.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: It has a spoiled, unhinged white liberals problem. That isn't
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: It is true these crazy white liberals have gotten crazier, angrier,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: more unhinged, and just spoiled like crazy. I mean the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: idea of thinking you can just jump in front of
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: police cars, or you can pull your car in front
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and block them in. Or you see this video where
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: they just go up to these police cars ice but
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: still long horseman cars go up to the window and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: start banging on them. I mean again, when you see
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a cop on the street, you're on this you're driving,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: there's a cop. All of a sudden, you drive very slowly,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: very carefully. You wouldn't think to pull your car in
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: front and block him and then go bang on his wing.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Who in the right mind would do that Anyway, Enough Minnesota, Hey,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Bob Weir passed away Grateful Dead. He was the lead
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: singer around a lot of their biggest hits. Bob We're uh.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. I was never a Grateful Dead fan.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not a dead Head. I had no interest in
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the Grateful Dead. He did have a couple of hit
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: singles on his own, which I remember playing, and you
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: would come on the show and he'd interview him. A
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: very nice guy, but I mean, was again not a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: big Grateful Dead fan. But it did kill thirty seconds,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: so we play now. He's very good. He's very good.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: He's accellent. The Grateful Dead fans, the dead Heads whatever
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you call him, are so devoted, and he was so
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, just a major figure in music. You know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: when somebody dies or they pay tribute at the Empire
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: State Building, they light up the Empire State Building. If
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: it's the Giants, that's in blue and white. If it's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the Mets, they put it in blue and orange. I
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: don't know how they did it last night, but they
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: lit the Empire State Building with tie dye lights. They
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: had lights of all different colors and they got him
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to form a like a tie dye pattern. If you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: go online you can see the picture. It's pretty amazing.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And again a lot of people are mad at the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Golden Globes. Where's the immemorium the people lost this year
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Rob Reiner? Where was the tribute to Rob Reiner? Nothing
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: on the Golden Globes? Speaking of Rob Reiner, the son
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Nick Reiner still, I guess looking for a new lawyer.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: His lawyer quit. Now more is coming out about Nick Reiner.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: He's thirty two years old. Apparently he was absolutely was
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: diagnosed with schizophrenia in the weeks before the killing. He
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: was diagnosed with actual schizophrenia. Now, some top criminal lawyers
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I've asked him what would make that he had a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: top criminal lawyer of LA. What would make that guy quit?
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And some of these guys told me, you don't want
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to work with a schizophrenic. It's impossible, impossible to work
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: with them, prepared defense with them, try to get them
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: through the trial. It's just rough. It's just way too rough.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So he was actually diagnosed with schizophrenia. He was on
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: all kinds of medication for it. And these sort of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: medications they call him psychotropic drugs can make you even crazier,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: They can make you erratic, they can make you very dangerous.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: In fact, many of these psychotropic drugs, it says right
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in the side effects, may cause maniacal behavior, homicidal behavior.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: It can do that. And that's why many times you
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: see this crazy kid who shoots up a school or
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: shoots mass shooting. It turns out he was on these
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: psychotropic drugs. It's a big problem. So they put Rob
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Reiner on these drugs. And apparently another side effect was
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: weight gain. He gained a lot of weight on the drug,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: which he was very upset about, and he convinced the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: doctors to change his medication to something else. Well, whatever
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the other medication they switched him to was was much
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: more dangerous. It made him much more erratic, and his
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: behavior went really psycho And normally when somebody gets that
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: crazy on the medication, you're supposed to put him in
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: what's called a temporary cycold, which means you don't let
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: them loose, you keep them in a facility. Doctors decided
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: not to place him on a temporary cycoled and to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: leave him out there in the world, which was very dangerous.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: But two factors there. It's California. So when it's California doctors,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: California treatment places, they're very, very, very lax and liberal
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: about things. If it was here in New York, they've
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: probably been a little tougher about it. Also, it's Rob Reiner.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: He's a major figure in California. So the whiners apparently
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: did not want to have to do that. If they
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: didn't have to, they decided not to do that, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the doctors went along with it. So big mistake, big mistake.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But next court date is I think in February, so
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: he'll be in jail till then, and then we'll see.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Now this Mam Donnie's stuff that you saw the first thing.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: He wants to do these public toilets bathrooms and wants
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to spend millions on them. Here's the other problem with Madonni,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Mam Donnie, or as Al Sharpton would say, Mam Da,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Mam Donnie. Everybody city hall veterans and New York political
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: veterans looking at the whole situation. From what they're seeing,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: it looks like he's going to continue to be more
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: of a candidate than a mayor. It's more of a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: campaign than an administration. They've noticed, I mean, he put
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: in a lot of wacky Deblasio type left wing kooks
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in different jobs. But they've noticed that he's created an
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: enormous press office beyond anything anybody's ever needed. You know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: it's usually a couple of people running the press office
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and a couple of assistants, but he's put in a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: massive amount of people in this press office, a massive
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: communications team. This is very unusual. So they're thinking that
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: he has no idea how to run anything. He's not
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a manager, he's not a mayor, he has no he's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: never had a job in his life, so he doesn't
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: know anything about working in an office or running anything.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So all he knows how to do is campaign. So
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: they think he's going to just continue in campaign mode.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And he's brought in some heavy hitters for this communications team,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: people from the Bernie Sanders team, a couple of couple
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: of big Bernie Sanders people come in and be communications directors,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: his speech writer and deputy communications director, all from these
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: left wing kind of kooky things. Yeah, basically calling it's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: going to be a department of propaganda. Now what does
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: this mean? He's also created something else besides the Press Office,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the Communications Office, He's created another body called the Office
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of Mass Engagement and put a Democratic Socialist comrade in
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: charge of it. So I guess the idea is, no
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: matter what he does or if he does nothing, he'll
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: have this enormous pr machine going full time in overdrive,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: selling hype and creating this whole illusion of him doing something.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Now this is kind of good news because the word
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: is from some people that is scary as he is,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: it might not be that scary because he's a lot
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: like the Blasio and that he's not going to actually
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: do anything. He's just going to do public stuff, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: just campaigning speeches, not actually on the ground actually doing anything.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: So this would kind of indicate that we'll see what
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that was Bill Gates doing in New York. Did you
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: see all this Bill Gates video? It was all over
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a Twitter, Instagram everywhere Bill Gates is in New York.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: He goes into Times Square and he has a hot
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: dog off a cart. I don't know what the idea was.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: It was to make I guess, to make him look
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: like he's just a regular guy eating a hot dog
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: off a cart, but he's looking at it like it's
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: something from Mars, Like he's never seen a cart, he's
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: never seen a hot dog. Also, I noticed there's a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: lot of security guys all around him, not just playing
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: security guys, but with fancy suits and the earpieces, and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: they look like secret service. You know, if you look
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: at a hot dog cart, and even if there's a line,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: nobody has fourteen bodyguards with earpieces. In highly unusual McDonald's.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: McDonald's has big plans for twenty twenty six. They're going
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to introduce new menu items. This is you know, once
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: in a million years did they add something to the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: McDonald's menu. And besides new items, they're going to have
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a secret menu, you where things pop up on the menu.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: All of us know the idea of this. They think
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: this is how you play Instagram and TikTok with little
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: secret things that pop up and get a lot of
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a buzz on TikTok and Instagram and all that stuff.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: But the biggest new item, now these other things they're
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: working on. A surf and turf burger, a chicken cheese burger,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a chicken big Mac an espresso milkshake. All right, this
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: is all good apple pie, Minnie mcflury, I don't know
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: what the hell that is. It's, oh, that's a milkshake,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: but with like an apple pie in it. And oh
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: they want to sell the Big Mac sauce separately as
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: a as a dip. You could buy the Big Mac sauce.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Isn't that great? I think if you went into any
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: supermarket and just got a bottle of Russian dressing, I
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: think you'd have pretty much the same thing. But the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: big item, the big thing for twenty twenty six to
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: introduce the biggest burger, a giant burger. It's the massive
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: double patty burger called the Big Arch. It's too huge
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: beef patties, three slices of cheese, lettuce, pickles, onions, a
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: new tangy big Arch sauce. Uh okay, that sounds good
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: because a lot of places have much bigger juicy or burgers.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Problem with McDonald's too much bun. I remember talking to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Julia Child once on the air, but she loved McDonald's,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: but she said the bun to meat ratio is not good.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Too much bun, not enough meat. But this could be
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a big thing, the big big Arch now the only
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: thing to remember anything McDonald's has ever created. In other words,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: McDonald's has a development test kitchen where they come up
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: with new things to put on the menu. They spend
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: millions and millions every year on this test kitchen where
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: these development guys try to come up with everything they
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: ever came up with and put on the menu. Totally
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: bombed the McLean. You remember that the McLean. All that
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: stuff totally bombed. The only things that have new things
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: it ever took off were invented by local franchises. It
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: was a local franchise that came up with the fish
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: file at Sandwich. It was somewhere in the South where
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: everybody was Catholic and back then you couldn't meet on Friday.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: So to save their business, they came up with the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: fish file at became so popular McDonald's put it on
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the menu. I think the Big Mac actually was created
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: by a franchise. But whenever McDonald's comes up, but it
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: never works. Now, the good news is this big Arch,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: this big Burger has been tested out in Europe, in Ireland,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: a couple other countries. It's work there, so expect that
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to come to the McDonald's near you soon, Hey, Sacks,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Fifth Avenue. You know they're about to file for bankruptcy.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: This could break at any moment. People think they're going
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to file bankruptcy at any moment. Sacks. You know, they
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: bought Neman Marcus. They spent billions of dollars to buy
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Neiman Marcus. It's all combined. They also owned Bergdorf Goodman.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: But it's looking like they're heading into bankruptcy. The got
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: massive debt. They borrowed almost three billion. They owe a
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: lot of money. They missed the payment the other day
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: of one hundred million, one hundred million dollar interest payment,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: So it looks like at any moment they might file bankruptcy.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Now this is leaking out everywhere, so a lot of
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: shoppers are rushing to Sacks to spend their their credit.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: You know those cards, those gift cards, everything use up
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: any credit. They have problem is retail sales, you know,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: have died in general. In general, retail sales way down,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: but especially with very high end luxury items, and they
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: just expanded too much. They just you know, you could
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: go into I mean the good news. You're going to
