Hour 1: Different strategy for the police. · The Mark Simone Show

0:01
Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York As they'll mark
0:04
Speaker 1: some own show on seven tenor.
0:10
Speaker 2: Hey it's Monday already. Yeah, I'm afraid so, but it's uh,
0:13
Speaker 2: you know, it's two weeks from today. Memorial Day is
0:16
Speaker 2: two weeks from today. Summer begins unofficially. Then, Hey, we
0:20
Speaker 2: get a lot to get to. We'll get to these
0:22
Speaker 2: stupid UFOs. I'm not that excited about it. We'll get
0:27
Speaker 2: to that. We'll get to the Hunter of Virus. We'll
0:28
Speaker 2: get to Iran, We'll get to China, we'll get to Texas,
0:31
Speaker 2: We'll get to a crazy Mom Donnie. We'll get to
0:35
Speaker 2: the Knicks and Eurovision and a whole lot more coming up.
0:39
Speaker 2: As far as Iran, we'll get to the midterms too. Iran, well,
0:44
Speaker 2: the talks are stalled, you know what. That's okay, it's
0:46
Speaker 2: hurting them a lot, it's not hurting us in any way.
0:49
Speaker 2: Oh that we get a little increase in the price
0:51
Speaker 2: of oil, but it's nowhere near Biden prices, and we
0:55
Speaker 2: got through four years of that. And again, it's only
0:57
Speaker 2: a temporary high oil. They call it a spike, but
1:01
Speaker 2: it's more just a slight high can oil. But Iran
1:06
Speaker 2: talkstalled the latest peace proposal that Iran scent was totally
1:11
Speaker 2: unacceptable to the US. Basically, they're arguing that we want
1:15
Speaker 2: them to get rid of all nuclear material, no nuclear
1:18
Speaker 2: or anything. They're arguing that they should be able to
1:21
Speaker 2: keep at least a normal, a slight amount of nuclear
1:26
Speaker 2: what they call their legitimate rights as a country to
1:28
Speaker 2: have some commercial sort of nuclear. You know, there's nuclear
1:32
Speaker 2: weapons and then there's commercial grade nuclear which is used
1:36
Speaker 2: for energy or power plants, that sort of stuff. But again,
1:41
Speaker 2: they're a very, very oil rich countries, so as far
1:44
Speaker 2: as energy, they really don't need the nuclear and the
1:47
Speaker 2: nuclear that you use for commercial is totally different from
1:52
Speaker 2: weapons grade nuclear material. The commercial stuff is you know,
1:57
Speaker 2: enriched to about twenty percent, when when it's nuclear weapons,
2:02
Speaker 2: it's enriched to ninety percent. One of the reasons we
2:05
Speaker 2: went to war they kept enriching They had the commercial
2:08
Speaker 2: grade stuff twenty percent, they started enriching it to forty
2:11
Speaker 2: fifty sixty, they were heading to seventy percent. They were
2:14
Speaker 2: an inch away from getting to nuclear weapons, which would
2:18
Speaker 2: be ninety percent. So you can't let them have even
2:21
Speaker 2: the commercial grade because they keep enriching it. So that's
2:25
Speaker 2: not going to work. We'll stall for a while and
2:27
Speaker 2: at some point it looks like we'll have to resume bombing. Attacking.
2:32
Speaker 2: Be a couple of days before anything happens. Now, the
2:35
Speaker 2: President goes to China at the end of this week
2:38
Speaker 2: for a couple of days. He might want to wait
2:41
Speaker 2: until the end of the China trip because President Shei
2:43
Speaker 2: of China has a lot of sway over Iran. That's
2:47
Speaker 2: basically their big mentor there China. So President Trump meeting
2:54
Speaker 2: with President she well, that could could get the is
3:00
Speaker 2: done in Iran. She has a lot of influence there.
3:02
Speaker 2: But maybe trumpant was to start the attacks while he's
3:04
Speaker 2: meeting with she That's one Trump negotiating tactic. Do your
3:08
Speaker 2: worst before the negotiation. Trump's done that a lot. You know,
3:12
Speaker 2: sometimes you go into the negotiation, well, if I have to,
3:16
Speaker 2: I'll threaten to sue. So if that's a good tactic,
3:20
Speaker 2: what Trump does starts the lawsuit first, then begins the negotiation.
3:23
Speaker 2: That way, the onus is on you to negotiate away
3:26
Speaker 2: the lawsuit. So it could be something like that. We'll see.
3:31
Speaker 2: The trip to China is this week. I heard Curtis
3:34
Speaker 2: talking earlier about what if they try to poison them.
3:37
Speaker 2: Is going to eat the food in China? Well, you know,
3:39
Speaker 2: you got to be really afraid when you're in China.
3:41
Speaker 2: Obviously they listening on everything. People that go over there told,
3:46
Speaker 2: you know, don't bring your phone. They'll tap your phone,
3:48
Speaker 2: they'll do this to your phone, they'll bed all kinds
3:51
Speaker 2: of things. So technology wise, the government knows what The
3:56
Speaker 2: White House knows what to do about that. As far
3:57
Speaker 2: as food, there are trips where the president doesn't eat
4:01
Speaker 2: the local food. On Air Force One, they have weeks
4:05
Speaker 2: and weeks of food storage, and they got a huge kitchen,
4:09
Speaker 2: and sometimes they prepare if he's on a trip somewhere
4:12
Speaker 2: and they don't trust the locals, all the food for
4:15
Speaker 2: every meal will come from Air Force One. He basically
4:19
Speaker 2: is getting room service from food made on Air Force One,
4:22
Speaker 2: where they know where they got it and they can
4:24
Speaker 2: trust it. I don't know if they'll do that in China,
4:26
Speaker 2: but many presidents have gone over there and eaten the
4:29
Speaker 2: food there. Of course, didn't George hw. Bush pass out
4:32
Speaker 2: there from whatever he ate. But all right, these UFOs,
4:39
Speaker 2: they've released the files. All of a sudden, it's the
4:41
Speaker 2: UFO stuff is going crazy. Is there something wrong with me?
4:47
Speaker 2: I don't care about the UFOs. There could be aliens here.
4:52
Speaker 2: Is there something wrong with me? I just don't care.
4:54
Speaker 2: Doesn't bother me. They're here, they're not here. If they're here,
4:58
Speaker 2: seems okay, they don't that's it's not like these illegal
5:01
Speaker 2: aliens where they come and clog up your city and
5:04
Speaker 2: take money and commit crimes. And if these UFO aliens,
5:09
Speaker 2: if these extra terrestrials are here, I mean, they're not
5:11
Speaker 2: really bothering us. They're they're not collecting checks from the government,
5:16
Speaker 2: they're not taking up parking spaces, they're not clogging up
5:20
Speaker 2: the subway, they're not driving, they're not causing traffic. But
5:23
Speaker 2: they're really not bothering them. But they said, oh, they've
5:25
Speaker 2: been here for years, they're bedded. Well, if that's the case, fine,
5:30
Speaker 2: they seem to keep pretty quiet.
5:32
Speaker 3: Now.
5:32
Speaker 2: The other thing is they always tell you these UFOs
5:34
Speaker 2: are here, And it was in Rosalin, New Mexico, they
5:37
Speaker 2: were You know, if you came from another planet, if
5:42
Speaker 2: you came like nine million light years to get here,
5:46
Speaker 2: and you got here over America and you're looking around,
5:49
Speaker 2: who the hell would go to New Mexico? I mean,
5:50
Speaker 2: you look around, even if you just got here, even
5:52
Speaker 2: if you've never been to the earth before, you don't
5:54
Speaker 2: know anything about it. You look down and you see
5:56
Speaker 2: New York City. Oh wow, this looks like the center.
5:58
Speaker 2: This looks like the most important place that. Hell would
6:02
Speaker 2: you go to New Mexico for.
6:05
Speaker 4: That?
6:05
Speaker 2: Hell? Would you go to Montana? Why would you land?
6:07
Speaker 2: I mean, looking around if you just got here, You're
6:11
Speaker 2: looking at the lights in New York, You're looking at
6:13
Speaker 2: the incredible Miami Beach, You're looking all and then you
6:16
Speaker 2: look at Montana, go, this looks like the spot for
6:18
Speaker 2: Nobody would say that, But I don't know. Let me
6:21
Speaker 2: know what you think. Are you worried about this and
6:23
Speaker 2: not worried about this? It doesn't bother me at all?
6:26
Speaker 3: Uh or.
6:29
Speaker 2: The other thing with Iran, carg Island is where they
6:33
Speaker 2: store all their oil. It's where their oil refineries are.
6:37
Speaker 2: It's been put out a commission for US from US
6:39
Speaker 2: because they can't get near it. It's been about two months.
6:42
Speaker 2: There's been some oil slicks off Carg Island. I think
6:46
Speaker 2: maybe there's leaking in one of the refineries or something
6:49
Speaker 2: gone wrong there. Since it's been abandoned for a couple
6:52
Speaker 2: of months and this is like the second oil slick
6:53
Speaker 2: we've seen around there. It's possible a stray missile hit
6:57
Speaker 2: a tank or something like that. State troopers. This is
7:05
Speaker 2: very bad what these state troopers are doing. We love
7:08
Speaker 2: the New York State Troopers. They do great work, excellent organization.
7:12
Speaker 2: They got a great superintendent. But you know, you see
7:17
Speaker 2: them hiding on the It's not just state troopers, but
7:19
Speaker 2: all these cops. You know, they hide on the highway,
7:20
Speaker 2: they hide on the parkway, they hide on the expressway.
7:24
Speaker 2: They always know the spot where you suddenly it curves
7:27
Speaker 2: and as you turn around, it's too late. There they are.
7:30
Speaker 2: Or they got a billboard they hide behind, or there's
7:32
Speaker 2: a place where there's like an indentation in the trees.
7:34
Speaker 2: They can hide in their and you can't see them
7:36
Speaker 2: ahead of time. Although nowadays if you got you know,
7:42
Speaker 2: waves and if you're using the Google Traffic, Apple traffic,
7:45
Speaker 2: it always gives you a warning about the speed cameras
7:48
Speaker 2: and sometimes state troopers up ahead. But now what they're doing,
7:54
Speaker 2: it's pretty smart on their part. But you know, when
7:55
Speaker 2: there's a construction zone, they're doing a little construction on
7:58
Speaker 2: the side of the highway supposed to slow down instead
8:01
Speaker 2: of fifty five, the sign will say construction zone, lower
8:05
Speaker 2: speed to thirty. Nobody really does that. You're gonna go thirty.
8:09
Speaker 2: I mean, you know you're gonna be careful as you
8:11
Speaker 2: go by the construction zone. You might slow down a little,
8:14
Speaker 2: but you're not going to go that little low speed.
8:17
Speaker 2: So they're putting state troopers in the construction zones dressed
8:21
Speaker 2: as construction workers with the big yellow vest, with the
8:25
Speaker 2: construction hat on, with the hard hat. So you'll see
8:29
Speaker 2: twenty construction workers in the construction zone. Now it'll turn
8:34
Speaker 2: out ten of them are undercovered, disguised state troopers who
8:39
Speaker 2: will then see you speeding because you don't think you
8:41
Speaker 2: see any cops, and you keep going the regular speed
8:43
Speaker 2: limit and they'll give you a ticket. Apparently this has
8:45
Speaker 2: been incredibly effective, almost one thousand tickets in four days,
8:50
Speaker 2: a thirty five percent increase. This is unfair, these state troopers.
8:58
Speaker 2: All you police, you should not be able to high
9:00
Speaker 2: behind it. I guess they're doing a good thing. They're helping,
9:03
Speaker 2: helping stop speeding. It is a dangerous thing, but disguising
9:07
Speaker 2: yourself as construction workers. Now here's the problem is this
9:12
Speaker 2: gets out and everybody knows they're disguised as construction workers.
9:15
Speaker 2: People will go very slow during a construction site. You're
9:18
Speaker 2: gonna have to think of something else. You know what
9:21
Speaker 2: you should do. Disguise yourself as little old ladies, you know,
9:24
Speaker 2: disguise yourself as the mother on Golden Girls. Get an old, old,
9:28
Speaker 2: old car and drive real slow on the highway. You know,
9:31
Speaker 2: people always zoom by it, having no idea that you're
9:34
Speaker 2: actually the police. And then all of a sudden you
9:36
Speaker 2: turn on the sign that might work. But this is terrible.
9:43
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, people should be suspicious because
9:46
Speaker 2: they disguise themselves as construction workers. But all of a sudden,
9:49
Speaker 2: people notice when you drive by the construction site, some
9:52
Speaker 2: of them are actually working. They've never seen that before.
9:55
Speaker 2: You know, any construction site there always just standing there.
9:58
Speaker 2: They're always just standing there. You know, like when you
10:00
Speaker 2: you get the manhole cover open on the street here
10:03
Speaker 2: and this like steam coming out, and the big sign.
10:05
Speaker 2: Men at work. You see one guy having coffee, one
10:08
Speaker 2: guy's having his lunch, two guys are on the phone.
10:10
Speaker 2: You never see anybody actually working. Hey, the most horrible
10:14
Speaker 2: story this weekend. This was just awful. A plane landing
10:19
Speaker 2: on a runway hits somebody. Apparently he jumped over the fence.
10:25
Speaker 2: I don't know what he was doing. He jumped over
10:27
Speaker 2: the fence of the airport. The runway's all fenced off,
10:30
Speaker 2: but he gets over the fence tries to run across
10:31
Speaker 2: the runway. Now, you gotta remember it. As a plane
10:33
Speaker 2: comes into land, it's coming in at about like four
10:37
Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour, and even on the runway it can,
10:41
Speaker 2: you know, be one hundred and eighty miles, and it's
10:43
Speaker 2: like a it's like a Formula one car coming in
10:45
Speaker 2: on the run So it hit this guy and he
10:49
Speaker 2: went into the engine and it just turned in. It
10:55
Speaker 2: just diced him and sliced him a million ways. It
10:58
Speaker 2: just turned him into power. But passengers were looking out
11:02
Speaker 2: the window and they saw as the guy went into
11:05
Speaker 2: the engine, his legs were sticking out of the engine
11:07
Speaker 2: swirling around. His legs were twirling. It was the most
11:09
Speaker 2: sickening sight and then apparently caused an engine explosion, which
11:14
Speaker 2: sent smoke into the cabin. They had to do an
11:17
Speaker 2: emergency evacuation where you come down those slides. But listen
11:20
Speaker 2: to the pilot when he hits this guy.
11:24
Speaker 4: Job Rutre forty three five. We're stopping on the runway.
11:27
Speaker 4: We just hit somebody. We have an engine park.
11:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the guy went into the engine, got all
11:33
Speaker 2: turned into dust and caused an engine explosion, smoke, and we've.
11:38
Speaker 5: Got the smoke and the aircraft.
11:41
Speaker 4: We're going to evacuate on the runway.
11:43
Speaker 2: Yeah. One passenger, Well, here's one passenger.
11:48
Speaker 6: He was getting ready to take off and then it
11:51
Speaker 6: felt like a big speed bump. And then I looked
11:55
Speaker 6: at the right. I see the wing is on fire
11:58
Speaker 6: and it's sparking.
11:59
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, it was taking off. I got it wrong.
12:00
Speaker 2: It was taken off. That's even worse because you go
12:03
Speaker 2: faster on the takeoff. You have to get up enough
12:05
Speaker 2: speed to go up, so that could be a couple
12:08
Speaker 2: one hundred miles an hour. Wow, there's one passenger. He
12:13
Speaker 2: and his son. They just happened to be looking out
12:15
Speaker 2: the window and saw the guy get just made mince
12:20
Speaker 2: meat out of them. But they were so traumatized and
12:23
Speaker 2: so sick. They were going on a vacation but they
12:24
Speaker 2: couldn't go. They just canceled the trip. They couldn't sleep,
12:27
Speaker 2: they were having nightmares. Horrible thing.
12:31
Speaker 3: You know that.
12:33
Speaker 2: Eurovision is like the biggest talent show in the world. Eurovision,
12:38
Speaker 2: it's not well known in this country, but it's a
12:40
Speaker 2: big deal all over the world. It's a big deal
12:43
Speaker 2: in Europe. Eurovision is like American Idol and the Olympics combined.
12:49
Speaker 2: It's the Olympics American Idol Olympics size. It's a massive event.
12:54
Speaker 2: It's the biggest thing of the year in Europe. Eurovision.
12:57
Speaker 2: Thirty five countries participate. Whoever wins Eurovision becomes a music superstar.
13:02
Speaker 2: It always happens. One year there was a group. They
13:07
Speaker 2: also have intermissions. It's on television in thirty five countries,
13:11
Speaker 2: like a zillion people watch it on television, and then
13:14
Speaker 2: during the intermissions they have a group play. One year
13:16
Speaker 2: of the group was called Abba. That's where they were
13:19
Speaker 2: discovered and they did a song called Waterloo and because
13:22
Speaker 2: of Eurovision next thing, you know, was the number one
13:24
Speaker 2: song in the world. But it's a big, big deal.
13:26
Speaker 2: So Eurovision is to take place in Vienna this year.
13:30
Speaker 2: Pretty soon. Iran is now threatening Eurovision. It's again it's
13:34
Speaker 2: like the Olympics. It goes on for a couple of days.
13:37
Speaker 2: There's like an Olympic village. There's a Eurovision village. It's
13:41
Speaker 2: a massive event with a ton of people. So Iran
13:44
Speaker 2: is threatening. It isis is threatening it This has become
13:48
Speaker 2: a security nightmare. Remember that happened to Taylor Swift concerts
13:51
Speaker 2: in Europe they had to cancel them. But it's happening
13:54
Speaker 2: to Eurovision security.
13:56
Speaker 7: Here's a director, we have helicopters, we have many, many
14:00
Speaker 7: different people, bomb squads, K nine units, everyone with a
14:03
Speaker 7: special specialty and the special use. Many of those special
14:08
Speaker 7: units will not be visible for the duration of the
14:11
Speaker 7: week and always on sites and can intervene in a
14:15
Speaker 7: moment's notice.
14:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's still pretty scary anyway. We'll take some
14:20
Speaker 2: calls in a minute. Let me know about these UFOs.
14:22
Speaker 2: Do you care? Do you not care? I know there's
14:24
Speaker 2: people who listen to that the Flying Saucer Show every night.
14:27
Speaker 2: That's like the biggest show all over the country. People
14:29
Speaker 2: are addicted to these UFO shows. I'm late, you know,
14:32
Speaker 2: after midnight. It just doesn't I really don't care. I mean,
14:39
Speaker 2: let's say you got some extra terrestials, see more work
14:42
Speaker 2: for Tom Homan. He'll get him out of here. But
14:44
Speaker 2: let me know, we'll take some calls. Next, we can
14:46
Speaker 2: talk about whatever you want. Eight hundred three to two
14:48
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten. Is the number eight hundred three
14:52
Speaker 2: to two one zero seven ten in Mark.
14:56
Speaker 1: On Demand by setting up presead for his podcast, asked
15:00
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. Now back to Mark Simon on woor.
15:11
Speaker 2: Hey, let's they can calls. Eight hundred three two one
15:15
Speaker 2: zero seven ten. Is the number eight hundred three two
15:18
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten. Let's go to Marty in Connecticut. Marty,
15:21
Speaker 2: how you doing?
15:23
Speaker 8: I'm going, man, I'm talking about the death of CBS
15:26
Speaker 8: News on CBS Good Morning yesterday. And the guy who
15:32
Speaker 8: reports is really the silver haired guy. I can't even
15:35
Speaker 8: watch him, but he missed a lot of points like
15:39
Speaker 8: Walter Cronkite a sound bited him once, didn't talk about
15:43
Speaker 8: the guy who discovered CBS Sunday Morning. And you can
15:47
Speaker 8: see the inconsistency of this awful I used to listen
15:52
Speaker 8: to the Eighth Out of New York all the time,
15:53
Speaker 8: but they're always so bad.
15:57
Speaker 2: So you just found out CBS News is not ABS
16:00
Speaker 2: News anymore.
16:01
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't want to listen to but I wont no.
16:03
Speaker 2: It's a terrible, it's terrible. It's nothing, nothing like it was.
16:06
Speaker 2: It's totally biased. It's just awful. That's why they brought
16:10
Speaker 2: in Barry Weiss. Maybe you can get it back. It's
16:13
Speaker 2: never going to be what it was, but get it
16:14
Speaker 2: back in that direction. You got to remember back then,
16:16
Speaker 2: television net millions and millions and millions of you, you know,
16:20
Speaker 2: Walter Kronkit, twenty million people who watch them at night
16:23
Speaker 2: nightly news. Now you're lucky if you get four million, uh,
16:26
Speaker 2: even these Sunday shows. You know, it used to be
16:28
Speaker 2: ten million, twelve million, fifteen. Now the Sunday shows are
16:30
Speaker 2: one million. So you're not going to be able to,
16:33
Speaker 2: you know, pay for a big news stay. You know,
16:35
Speaker 2: back in the good old days, said Walter Cronkite, Eric Severed,
16:38
Speaker 2: Bob Scheffer, you had Dan Reddy had a million giant names,
16:41
Speaker 2: Roger Mudd all in this one news room. You can
16:44
Speaker 2: you can't afford that anymore. Now it's a I mean
16:48
Speaker 2: different thing. You see a time where if you ask
16:50
Speaker 2: anybody who's the anchor the CBS Evening News, nobody could
16:53
Speaker 2: tell you. Nobody would know. Go to the CBS building,
16:56
Speaker 2: ask people, half of them won't know. Nobody knows. Let's
16:59
Speaker 2: go to Let's go to Mark in South Carolina. Mark,
17:03
Speaker 2: how you doing, good sir? How are you today?

18:53
Speaker 9: the aliens. I believe when I see it. By my wife, Heather,
18:56
Speaker 9: she watched she listens to Coast to Coast and watches
18:59
Speaker 9: Ancient Alien on TV. She's all about this kind of stuff,
19:02
Speaker 9: you know, but I'll believe it when I see it.
19:04
Speaker 2: Well, there's two loads of people in the world. There's
19:06
Speaker 2: people that don't believe any of this stuff, and there's
19:08
Speaker 2: people that desperately want to believe this. Not desperately, but
19:11
Speaker 2: they enjoy believing this. It's a fun hobby. They want
19:14
Speaker 2: to believe this. Like you couldn't care less. Your wife
19:16
Speaker 2: wants to believe this. She loves it.
19:19
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, But like I said, I'll believe it when
19:22
Speaker 9: I see it. But she's all about it, you know. Uh,
19:25
Speaker 9: this Trump and this Iran. You know, sometimes Trump can
19:28
Speaker 9: want to deal so bad he'll stole a little bit
19:30
Speaker 9: longer than he really should have. I think he should
19:32
Speaker 9: have gone back in and just blown them all the hell,
19:34
Speaker 9: just like he was talking about. And I don't know
19:36
Speaker 9: if you covet it, but Virginia wants to get rid
19:39
Speaker 9: of all they you it, all their Supreme Court justices
19:42
Speaker 9: and say they're too old and make the thing fifty
19:44
Speaker 9: four years old. And then they want to repack the
19:47
Speaker 9: court just to get their redistricting plan. If that doesn't
19:51
Speaker 9: show you how insane and how evil democrats are, nothing will.
19:55
Speaker 2: Well, just desperate, Yeah, they want to and they want
19:58
Speaker 2: to make fifty four mandatory retirement age for their Supreme Court.
20:03
Speaker 9: That's younger than a pilot. That's younger than a pilot.
20:05
Speaker 3: Yeah.
20:05
Speaker 2: Oh, so you want a guy over fifty four. He's
20:07
Speaker 2: got more, more experience, you know, more wisdom. That's what
20:10
Speaker 2: you want. Let's go to Mark in Uh, how do
20:13
Speaker 2: you say that? Hop it con New Jersey? Hope it
20:15
Speaker 2: con Ah.
20:17
Speaker 4: Try again, it's whole, pat Con.

20:29
Speaker 2: Oh, pat Con, No, it's not very easy. Hole pat Con.
20:33
Speaker 4: Obviously you've never been here. It's amazing now here for
20:36
Speaker 4: New Jersey. It's a little piece of paradise.
20:38
Speaker 9: Oops.
20:38
Speaker 4: I shouldn't put that on the air.
20:39
Speaker 2: It's very nice. It's not amazing. I mean when people
20:43
Speaker 2: go there and go, oh my god, this is amazing.
20:46
Speaker 2: It's nice.
20:47
Speaker 4: Well for New Jersey, for New Jersey.
20:51
Speaker 2: Oh all right, and what do you want to.
20:54
Speaker 4: Say, Mark, Well, I'm I'm upset with the state. They're
20:58
Speaker 4: allowing gouging to go on. Where If you remember during
21:01
Speaker 4: COVID they would prosecute anybody for gouging. And here you
21:04
Speaker 4: have the state gouging these New Jersey transit writers who
21:09
Speaker 4: have to go see that soccer game or the FIFA,
21:12
Speaker 4: which I care less about. But how can they get
21:14
Speaker 4: away with gouging at that percentage when it would be
21:17
Speaker 4: illegal for any other entity?
21:19
Speaker 2: Well, it is New Jersey. Did you ever see your
21:21
Speaker 2: government there? Did you ever seen please, pauls you got
21:24
Speaker 2: in that legislature? You ever see who's around the governor?
21:27
Speaker 2: Look at the governor. I mean, you can't expect much
21:30
Speaker 2: out of these people.
21:31
Speaker 4: We get what we vote for. We deserve it.
21:33
Speaker 2: That's true. All right, Well, thanks for calling, Mark. Let's
21:35
Speaker 2: go to Ed in Allentown, Pennsylvania. How you doing, Ed?
21:40
Speaker 10: Good morning, Mark, Thanks for taking my call. He made
21:43
Speaker 10: me think of a personal best friend of mine who
21:45
Speaker 10: died of food poison poisoning. And he had traveled to
21:48
Speaker 10: China regularly. He had some contract business over there, and
21:52
Speaker 10: he swore that the Chinese poisoned them. It's provable or not.
21:58
Speaker 10: It has absolutely.
22:00
Speaker 2: Although if you've been to China, much of it is
22:02
Speaker 2: the dirtiest place on earth. It's all kinds of pollution
22:05
Speaker 2: and crap and everything.
22:06
Speaker 3: In the water.
22:07
Speaker 10: He said he loved it. He said he loved it
22:09
Speaker 10: over there. But one of the reasons for my call
22:12
Speaker 10: was a suggestion that maybe he could bring the cocuen
22:15
Speaker 10: Jeffries over his food taster with him.
22:17
Speaker 2: No, no, no, Yeah, it is pretty filthy. I mean
22:20
Speaker 2: there's parts of China, even major cities like Beijing where
22:23
Speaker 2: you can't even see. The air is so thick with pollution.
22:26
Speaker 2: And if you drink the water every day that you're there,
22:29
Speaker 2: you'll probably not live much longer after that. It's really
22:32
Speaker 2: polluted over there. Hey, when we come back, we'll talk
22:35
Speaker 2: to the greatest columnists in the world. Michael Goodwin coming
22:39
Speaker 2: up next. Lots to talk to him about right here
22:41
Speaker 2: on seven to ten WR the.
22:44
Speaker 1: Mark Simoniall on sevent ten wor.
22:50
Speaker 2: Well, Michael Goodwin, the finest column list in America. You
22:53
Speaker 2: can read his column every Sunday and every Wednesday in
22:57
Speaker 2: the New York Post. And if you go to the
22:58
Speaker 2: New York Post website, all of his columns are up
23:00
Speaker 2: there and you should read them all. And he's with
23:03
Speaker 2: us right now. Michael Goodwin, how you doing okay?
23:06
Speaker 3: Mark?
23:07
Speaker 11: Thank you?
23:08
Speaker 2: Hey, I love the yesterday's call. Him about crazy Mom
23:10
Speaker 2: Donnie and his tax the rich. And you know, this
23:15
Speaker 2: is science to an economy. We know what works, we
23:18
Speaker 2: know what doesn't work. What happened to follow the science?
23:22
Speaker 2: Socialism has been tried ten thousand times, failed every time.
23:25
Speaker 2: That's the experiment. That's so, that's right.
23:28
Speaker 11: And it's almost as though he's financially illiterate and doesn't
23:34
Speaker 11: want to learn.
23:35
Speaker 3: I mean, this whole.
23:37
Speaker 11: Thing could come crashing down on him if he's not
23:41
Speaker 11: careful about the bottom line in the city.
23:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, he starts with Ken Griffin and then a bunch
23:49
Speaker 2: of others, Bill Ackman and Steve Roth joined in to
23:52
Speaker 2: defend Ken Griffin. These billionaires pay all the taxes and
23:57
Speaker 2: apparently Texas now is going after luring them down there.
24:01
Speaker 2: What do you think will happen? Can these guys somehow
24:04
Speaker 2: wake up or educate Mom Downey?
24:08
Speaker 11: You know, Mark, you would think that he would want
24:12
Speaker 11: that for his own political success and to make his
24:17
Speaker 11: dream come true, because if he wants a lot more
24:22
Speaker 11: tax money to fund the giveaways, now what he's doing
24:29
Speaker 11: is actually going to result in probably fewer jobs and
24:34
Speaker 11: there's fewer tax players and therefore less money for the
24:40
Speaker 11: government to spend, so at some point is a policy
24:45
Speaker 11: is self defeating for his own goals, and it's because
24:50
Speaker 11: he doesn't seem to connect a, B and C together
24:55
Speaker 11: in the way that the economy works. Yeah.
24:59
Speaker 2: Also, what kind of politician is he? You know, every politician,
25:02
Speaker 2: even Deblasio. When there's billionaires, here's my cell number. Call
25:05
Speaker 2: me if you need any they will favor that they're
25:08
Speaker 2: crazy and get donations in return. Does this mean he's
25:11
Speaker 2: Mamdanni is actually honest.
25:15
Speaker 11: I don't know that he's honest as much as much
25:18
Speaker 11: as he.
25:19
Speaker 3: Is a socialist true believer.
25:22
Speaker 11: I really think he believes that nonsense, which is pretty amazing.
25:27
Speaker 11: But a lot of his followers do too. I mean,
25:32
Speaker 11: anybody who voted for him on the belief that he
25:36
Speaker 11: was going to be able to fund every giveaway conceivable
25:41
Speaker 11: under the sun. They're also ignorant, and they believe in
25:47
Speaker 11: this socialist dream which has been destroyed every time it's
25:53
Speaker 11: been tried in history, and yet he and they keep
25:58
Speaker 11: marching on. We shouldn't exempt Governor Hocuel because she claims
26:05
Speaker 11: to be a moderate, etc.
26:07
Speaker 3: Etc.
26:08
Speaker 11: But she is behind this Pierre to Tear tax. If
26:11
Speaker 11: it weren't for her, it would not have passed.
26:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, you know what, maybe don't know. Andrew Cuomo
26:18
Speaker 2: does a radio show, probably the world's worst radio show.
26:21
Speaker 2: But if you listen to this, you can't believe this guy.
26:24
Speaker 2: He goes on and on it. But Democrats are too
26:26
Speaker 2: far to the left and they're crazy with this Pierre
26:28
Speaker 2: to terror attacks and the snow baild. He's the guy
26:31
Speaker 2: that created all this stuff. He's the guy that started
26:34
Speaker 2: talking about that Pierre to terror taxs. He was to
26:36
Speaker 2: the left of everybody. Well, is he just delusional or
26:38
Speaker 2: is he lying?
26:41
Speaker 11: I think when he did those things, he was seeking
26:46
Speaker 11: the votes of the left, and it was his way
26:51
Speaker 11: of accommodating the progressive wave that was overtaking the government
26:58
Speaker 11: New York government back in it's twenty eighteen, which is
27:03
Speaker 11: the Trump first.
27:04
Speaker 3: Term mid term and if you're a call mark.
27:08
Speaker 11: The progressors took over the state Senate and they added
27:12
Speaker 11: to the Democrats control of the Assembly.
27:15
Speaker 3: So Cuomo was.
27:16
Speaker 11: Kind of running away from them, but he decided he
27:21
Speaker 11: would embrace them with the so called bail reform, raise
27:26
Speaker 11: the age, all kinds of things that he did trying
27:31
Speaker 11: to keep the left at bay. But now for him
27:35
Speaker 11: to criticize it. There's some hypocripy involved.
27:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, so back then, why couldn't you had all the
27:42
Speaker 2: senior leaders of the Democrats in New York, You had Schumer,
27:45
Speaker 2: and you had Cuomo, and you had Jildireann. Why didn't
27:49
Speaker 2: they just stand up these guys and put their finger
27:52
Speaker 2: in the damn there, they just stop it from happening.
27:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a very good point.
27:58
Speaker 11: My immediate response, once, Mark, is that the three people
28:02
Speaker 11: you mentioned don't get along with each other necessarily, and
28:07
Speaker 11: Cuomo didn't get along.
28:09
Speaker 3: With any of them.
28:11
Speaker 10: Quote.
28:11
Speaker 3: That's the thing about Cuomo.
28:13
Speaker 11: When he left allbody, of course, under the harassment and
28:19
Speaker 11: the nursing home scandals, not a single person there stood
28:24
Speaker 11: up for him. These are people he had known and
28:26
Speaker 11: worked with for a decade. Not a single one raised
28:31
Speaker 11: their hand and said, no, no, let's keep them as
28:34
Speaker 11: a governor, Let's give him another chance. If he had
28:37
Speaker 11: not resigned, he would have been impeached and convicted.
28:41
Speaker 2: Well, uh, yeah, it's just it's just awful. But what's
28:47
Speaker 2: gonna happen here? I mean, you might lose a couple
28:49
Speaker 2: of billionaires, But will you've seen him come and go?
28:51
Speaker 2: Will we get through four years of MONDAMMI will be
28:54
Speaker 2: okay at the end of this.
28:56
Speaker 3: I think it will depend.
28:59
Speaker 11: On the circumstances and will there be enough of a
29:04
Speaker 11: pushback against SOCO, against Mamdani that will slow down this
29:12
Speaker 11: reckless race to the left with more taxes, more regulations.
29:19
Speaker 3: If that happens. I mean, right now.
29:24
Speaker 11: It looks as though Joko is headed for reelections. Unfortunately,
29:29
Speaker 11: I don't know, but yeah, well it's early. But if
29:34
Speaker 11: you had to make a guest based on the present circumstances,
29:38
Speaker 11: so I think that there has to be a shock
29:41
Speaker 11: to the system, whether it's bankruptcy in the city or
29:46
Speaker 11: election changes. But you think back park to the city's
29:50
Speaker 11: fiscal crisis in the mid to late seventies and early eighties.
29:56
Speaker 11: I mean, you needed to get rid of the mayor
29:59
Speaker 11: Abraham em at the time, and you needed a real
30:03
Speaker 11: new system of controls that took it out of the
30:07
Speaker 11: mayor's hands. That's what we're gonna need. I'm afraid in
30:11
Speaker 11: the city again.
30:12
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, now, Bruce Blakeman, I know he's behind. He
30:15
Speaker 2: was like twenty points behind in the real polls. Now
30:18
Speaker 2: he's like eight nine points behind. But that's the way
30:20
Speaker 2: he was in Nassau County and he's still won both times.
30:23
Speaker 2: So that's his pattern. I think he's got a good shot,
30:27
Speaker 2: don't rule him out.
30:29
Speaker 11: So he's definitely has a shot, no question about it.
30:34
Speaker 11: I'm a little concern that he seems almost invisible. He's
30:39
Speaker 11: not out there in a kind of aggressive, energetic way.
30:43
Speaker 11: I think that will get him the attention he needs.
30:48
Speaker 11: I refer in my column to a poll a c
30:51
Speaker 11: in a pole worth sixty four percent of New York
30:55
Speaker 11: State voters said they didn't know him or any anything
31:00
Speaker 11: about him. That some had never heard of him. So
31:05
Speaker 11: I think he's got to break through and that barrier.
31:09
Speaker 11: He has to give people a new reason to give
31:12
Speaker 11: him a serious look.
31:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is working day and night though he's all
31:17
Speaker 2: over the state. He's doing a million interviews, he's doing
31:19
Speaker 2: a million appearances. But he's got to You're right, he's
31:22
Speaker 2: got to get that get more coverage, and he needs
31:25
Speaker 2: more money to do it.
31:26
Speaker 3: Yeah.
31:27
Speaker 11: I think I think there's an energy thing too. He
31:30
Speaker 11: has to kind of break through the news cycle. He
31:34
Speaker 11: has to break through the sense of that she's inevitable.
31:39
Speaker 11: I think he has to get people to enough people
31:43
Speaker 11: to call down into question and then that makes it
31:46
Speaker 11: a real race.
31:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, so hey, what about this crazy AOC Now she's
31:51
Speaker 2: talking about higher office. She's also got a lot of flack.
31:58
Speaker 2: She argued that the American revolution is to get away
32:00
Speaker 2: from the billionaires, and then everybody online, h I know,
32:03
Speaker 2: explain things to her that Washington was a billionaire by
32:07
Speaker 2: you know, by today's standards back then. So she has
32:11
Speaker 2: no future, does she outside of Senate?
32:15
Speaker 3: I hope not.
32:17
Speaker 11: I wonder to watch he thinks the Boston tea party
32:20
Speaker 11: was about just because Jillnaire is like tea or something.
32:24
Speaker 11: I mean, what what a what a whack job.
32:27
Speaker 3: Yeah.
32:28
Speaker 2: Well, Michael Goodwin, great talking to you, and keep up
32:31
Speaker 2: the good work. You can read his column every Sunday
32:33
Speaker 2: every Wednesday in the New York Post. All of his
32:36
Speaker 2: columns are up on the New York Post website. Michael Goodwin,
32:39
Speaker 2: thanks for being with us.
32:41
Speaker 3: My pleasure. Thank you. Mark. All right, take care.
32:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, Blakeman, Blakeman is a hard worker. He's out
32:47
Speaker 2: there every day and he's all over the state. But
32:50
Speaker 2: you're right, he doesn't. It doesn't get the coverage it
32:53
Speaker 2: should get. And you know, well that's a lot of
32:58
Speaker 2: the media that's just keeping living. But that'll change. Remember
33:00
Speaker 2: it's very very very early. It's a long way away.
33:06
Speaker 4: You know.
33:06
Speaker 2: In politics, that many months is an eternity. Same thing
33:10
Speaker 2: with the midterms. You everybody's trying to predict what's going
33:12
Speaker 2: to happen in the midterms right now. It's way too
33:14
Speaker 2: far an advance. This is like trying to predict the
33:16
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight Super Bowl. You just can't do it.
33:19
Speaker 2: This fear in advance. Hey, we got a lot to
33:21
Speaker 2: get to today. We'll get to Hey, we'll get to
33:24
Speaker 2: some of these colleges, some of these college graduations have
33:28
Speaker 2: turned into really, really disgusting events. We'll get to that
33:32
Speaker 2: in a lot more coming up. Don't forget Buck and
33:34
Speaker 2: Clay at noon today. They do a wonderful show every
33:37
Speaker 2: day noon to three. Then you got the most listened
33:40
Speaker 2: to radio show in America, Sean Hannity at three o'clock,

33:58
Speaker 1: Mark on seven tenor.
34:04
Speaker 2: You know, they keep showing you these numbers. Crime is down,
34:06
Speaker 2: murders down. This is murders at a very very low rate.
34:09
Speaker 2: But you know, you gotta be careful with these numbers.
34:13
Speaker 2: But a lot of stuff is up. Subway incidents not
34:17
Speaker 2: looking great. You got this this madman, this crazy madman
34:22
Speaker 2: who pushed somebody right into the tracks. Now he's an
34:24
Speaker 2: absolute lunatic who's been arrested over and over and over
34:29
Speaker 2: and over and over again, and these judges keep letting
34:33
Speaker 2: them go with the no bail, no jail thanks to
34:35
Speaker 2: Andrew Cuomo who gave us this no bail, no jail
34:38
Speaker 2: crap causing all of this nonsense. So you look at
34:41
Speaker 2: this guy's record over and over. He's arrested, he's in court,
34:44
Speaker 2: they let him go, They let him go, They let
34:46
Speaker 2: him go. So this guy did he attacks somebody anyways, crazy,
34:53
Speaker 2: he's in the street, he's yelling and screaming like a maniac.
34:56
Speaker 2: Of cops take him to Bellevue Psychiatric in handcuffs around
35:01
Speaker 2: three point thirty in the afternoon. He's just like a
35:05
Speaker 2: tonal maniac. So they take him to Bellevue. Bellevue lets
35:10
Speaker 2: him go like in two hours. They think they've cured
35:12
Speaker 2: him or something. They just let him go. He's back
35:14
Speaker 2: out on the street, goes into a subway station at
35:18
Speaker 2: eighteenth Street in Chelsea. Seventy six year old man is
35:22
Speaker 2: coming down the stairs. This guy shoves him down the stairs,
35:25
Speaker 2: throws him into the tracks, kills the guy the one
35:28
Speaker 2: train in Chelsea. This is right after Bellevue let him out.
35:34
Speaker 2: So whoever that was at Bellevue is responsible for this happening.
35:38
Speaker 2: I mean, it's one thing with a judge just to
35:39
Speaker 2: let him out, but Bellevue should never have let this
35:43
Speaker 2: guy go. He's attacked people on subway cars over and
35:46
Speaker 2: over again. He's meant to menaced people. So he kills
35:51
Speaker 2: this guy. Now they drag him into court on Saturday,
35:56
Speaker 2: and he's just nuts. He's a maniac. He's brought into court,
35:59
Speaker 2: he's in front of the judge. He flashes a big
36:01
Speaker 2: smile in the courtroom. He's laughing and smiling. Absolutely ridiculous.
36:07
Speaker 2: The problem is you got these mentally ill people who
36:09
Speaker 2: are not locked up as they should be, or not
36:11
Speaker 2: in Bellevue where they should be, and a lot of
36:14
Speaker 2: people pointing out Mayor Mom Donnie seems especially disinterested in
36:19
Speaker 2: serious mental illnesses. What did he do. He offered his
36:23
Speaker 2: condolences to the family, But this is the kind of
36:25
Speaker 2: thing where he should be holding a press conference in
36:27
Speaker 2: front of Bellevue, yelling and screaming about this, or he
36:30
Speaker 2: should be putting together immediately a task for us to
36:33
Speaker 2: do something about these mentally ill people all over the place.
36:36
Speaker 2: But people around him say it's just not a priority.
36:40
Speaker 2: He's spending more time in his thirty million dollar grocery
36:42
Speaker 2: store that actually should cost two million, or yelling about
36:46
Speaker 2: where Ken Griffin lives than doing something about this. This
36:50
Speaker 2: is a serious, serious threat to people, and he's not
36:53
Speaker 2: on top of it. Hey, we got a lot to
36:55
Speaker 2: get to in the next hour. We'll get to college graduations,
