Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Mark Simone Show Live from ther
- 0:04Speaker 1: Life Back Studios. Welcome back, I just got here. I
- 0:10Speaker 1: guess they mean con yesterday. Well, welcome back. But hey,
- 0:14Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to. We'll get to Iran,
- 0:16Speaker 1: We'll get to Lindsey Graham, We'll get to the President's
- 0:19Speaker 1: speech Thursday night, We'll get to FIFA, the latest on
- 0:22Speaker 1: Legionnaire's disease, and a whole lot more coming up. Lindsey
- 0:26Speaker 1: Graham Nation mourning his very sudden, surprising passing and the
- 0:34Speaker 1: governor appointing his sister Darlene to take over for him.
- 0:40Speaker 1: And this is just for a few months. It'll be
- 0:44Speaker 1: for about seven months until January. They'll have a special
- 0:47Speaker 1: election and I'm not sure yet who's going to run. Well,
- 0:52Speaker 1: a bunch of candidates are possible. His sister Darlene spoke
- 0:57Speaker 1: yesterday after the governor nominated actually gave her the seat.
- 1:02Speaker 1: She'll now be a Senator for about seven months.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Don't want to thank the governor for selecting me to
- 1:07Speaker 2: serve the remainder of Lindsay's term, and is such an honor.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Lindsay has always been there for me and now I
- 1:17Speaker 2: will be there for him.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Wow, it's a big loss, a big, big loss for
- 1:23Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Lindsay Graham an important advisor, confidant. He's also
- 1:26Speaker 1: a guy who could go all over the place in
- 1:28Speaker 1: the Capitol and get things done. Whether you needed to
- 1:31Speaker 1: win over a Republican or a Democrat, Lindsay Graham would
- 1:34Speaker 1: do that. So she'll be great as far as voting,
- 1:36Speaker 1: but you won't be able to do all that that
- 1:38Speaker 1: other stuff.
- 1:39Speaker 2: My brother was the most amazing person, outstanding leader, and
- 1:44Speaker 2: just a genuinely good man.
- 1:47Speaker 1: He really was a good guy. I mean those that knew,
- 1:51Speaker 1: nobody could. I've never heard anybody not like Lindsay Graham personally.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Some people didn't like some of the voting Iraq war amnesty.
- 2:01Speaker 1: I mean, he was like McCain. I mean, everybody loved
- 2:04Speaker 1: the guy, but sometimes he'd crossed the aisle when you
- 2:08Speaker 1: didn't want him to. But here's the governor of Tennessee, McMaster,
- 2:13Speaker 1: good friend and ally of Donald Trump. He's the one
- 2:16Speaker 1: that picked her to be the acting senator for seven months.
- 2:20Speaker 3: Lindsay took care of his little sister in years long departed.
- 2:26Speaker 3: It's my honor to ask his little sister, Darlene Graham
- 2:30Speaker 3: to finish his work for him now.
- 2:34Speaker 1: So it looks like a burst a order. Now, he
- 2:41Speaker 1: should have taken better care of himself. He should have
- 2:43Speaker 1: gotten checked out a little more, had that looked at more.
- 2:46Speaker 1: It runs in the family. It's genetic. His father died
- 2:49Speaker 1: at just about the same age, same thing. He neglected that.
- 2:54Speaker 1: And you know the problem is that, you know, when
- 2:58Speaker 1: you got that kind of heart stuff in your family,
- 3:00Speaker 1: in your genes, you really got to get it looked
- 3:03Speaker 1: at all the time. Now, doctor Oz, who's a great
- 3:05Speaker 1: heart specialist, explains this, and.
- 3:08Speaker 4: One of the things with aortic dissection I bought a
- 3:10Speaker 4: simple model of demonstrated is you don't have much warning.
- 3:13Speaker 4: And the real cautionary tale is keep your blood pressure
- 3:15Speaker 4: low because that is the one risk factor that seems
- 3:17Speaker 4: to be recurrent. The second is if you have the
- 3:19Speaker 4: worst pain you've ever had, you should go see a doctor. Unfortunately,
- 3:22Speaker 4: with aortic dissection, even then it's sometimes too late. About
- 3:26Speaker 4: thirty percent of people die within the first day, more
- 3:29Speaker 4: than half a day, within two days.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Yeah. The other problem it was a pretty big drinker.
- 3:34Speaker 1: I mean, he loved to drink. That doesn't help that
- 3:38Speaker 1: at all. So again, everybody loved the guy that worked
- 3:41Speaker 1: with him, Democrats, Republicans. He was like from the good
- 3:44Speaker 1: old days, you know where the tip O'Neil days, where
- 3:47Speaker 1: after work they'd all go to a bar together, the Republicans,
- 3:49Speaker 1: the Democrats, they'd have lunch together. That doesn't exist anymore.
- 3:54Speaker 1: But in the case of Lindsey Graham, a lot of
- 3:56Speaker 1: senators speaking out about him.
- 3:58Speaker 5: Senator Graham was a very forceful and quick witted presence
- 4:04Speaker 5: in every room that he entered. His warm nature made
- 4:10Speaker 5: everyone his friend, and I feel blessed to be one
- 4:15Speaker 5: of them.
- 4:16Speaker 1: From every senator, great tribute.
- 4:18Speaker 6: It's difficult to believe that Lindsey Graham is no longer
- 4:21Speaker 6: here with us, that we won't run into him at
- 4:24Speaker 6: a Minia day or share a joke with him at
- 4:27Speaker 6: this afternoon's vote. The halls of the Senate already feel
- 4:31Speaker 6: empty without him again.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Touching tributes from everybody. However, there was one senator who's
- 4:39Speaker 1: a cheap, hustling, pandering, just a cheap politician. Who am
- 4:45Speaker 1: I talking to? Everybody says they're all saying right now, Schumer,
- 4:49Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer with the big glasses, pretends he's
- 4:54Speaker 1: doing a tribute to Lindsay Graham, but it's actually a
- 4:56Speaker 1: paid political announcement.
- 4:58Speaker 7: I urged Senator Thun in honor of Lindsey to put
- 5:02Speaker 7: the sanctions, the Russian sanctions bill on.
- 5:05Speaker 1: The floor immediately.
- 5:06Speaker 7: It will pass overwhelmingly and help our allies in Ukraine.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's a very touching tribute in honor of Lindsay.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Could you pass this bill that I've been pushing for
- 5:15Speaker 1: a while in honor of Lindsay, maybe you could make
- 5:20Speaker 1: a donation to my campaign. What a cheap little politician.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Schumer is always out of touch, always inappropriate. So we
- 5:30Speaker 1: hit Iran very very hard last night. In fact, we
- 5:33Speaker 1: killed a major leader of the IRGC, major Iranian Republic
- 5:39Speaker 1: Guard leader, Revolutionary guard leader was killed last night. So
- 5:45Speaker 1: this is going to go on, night after night. We're
- 5:46Speaker 1: going to keep hitting them very very hard. The peace
- 5:49Speaker 1: socks are continuing. At the same time.
- 5:52Speaker 8: We had a deal yesterday or the day before yesterday.
- 5:55Speaker 8: It was all done, and then they broke up that
- 5:57Speaker 8: deal immediately because they found out there was something in
- 6:00Speaker 8: to deal that in like and they're wired differently and
- 6:03Speaker 8: we're not going to put up with it.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Yeah, So they're a little crazy. They're negotiating while they
- 6:11Speaker 1: don't have the capacity to hit us back in anyway,
- 6:13Speaker 1: so they're firing into other countries. They've hit like four
- 6:16Speaker 1: or five neighboring countries with a rocket with a drone.
- 6:19Speaker 1: So the Straight of hor Moose, we have closed it down.
- 6:22Speaker 1: We can reopen it whenever we want. We've done it before.
- 6:25Speaker 1: In fact, there was stopped about a week ago, but
- 6:28Speaker 1: there was a six week period where we had the
- 6:31Speaker 1: straight open the southern route, but we got eight hundred
- 6:34Speaker 1: and twenty tankers through. Three hundred and eighty million barrels
- 6:39Speaker 1: of oil came through. It's still open to some extent,
- 6:45Speaker 1: just lower traffic than usual. On Sunday, fourteen ships came to.
- 6:50Speaker 1: That's a lot lower, and only five hundred thousand barrels
- 6:54Speaker 1: of crewed came through. But it is technically open. We're
- 6:57Speaker 1: going to the president negotiat like a business guy, like
- 7:01Speaker 1: a tough New York City business negotiator. So they want
- 7:06Speaker 1: a toll on all the ships, or RAN wants to
- 7:08Speaker 1: collect a toll, So then we are announcing we're tolling them,
- 7:12Speaker 1: and actually the money will be to reimburse us for
- 7:16Speaker 1: protecting the Straight.
- 7:17Speaker 8: I want to be reimbursed because we're protecting a very
- 7:20Speaker 8: rich portion of the world. We're spending money, and so
- 7:23Speaker 8: what we've done is we are going to be reimbursed
- 7:25Speaker 8: for protection we're protecting by the countries that we're helping.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll reimburse us. It's kind of a soprano ish
- 7:35Speaker 1: kind of thing there. You've got to pay us everywhere.
- 7:38Speaker 1: But this is all just negotiating. Remember Trump just loves
- 7:46Speaker 1: to switch tactics, change, I mean, he just he's all
- 7:51Speaker 1: over the place, but he knows what he's doing. In
- 7:53Speaker 1: the end, it always works out.
- 7:54Speaker 8: So we're knocking out all of their offensive capability, and
- 7:58Speaker 8: we're controlling the straits. We're putting the blockade back, and
- 8:02Speaker 8: it's a blockade not for anybody but I ran. In
- 8:04Speaker 8: other words, anybody doing business with Iran can't go through.
- 8:07Speaker 8: Everyone else we'll be able to go through.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're letting other ships go through. Also, remember
- 8:11Speaker 1: we don't use any oil from the Straight of horm Moose.
- 8:14Speaker 1: We don't need a drop of oil from there. We've
- 8:16Speaker 1: never used it. We use all our own oil. In fact,
- 8:18Speaker 1: we have more oil than we need. We are now
- 8:20Speaker 1: the biggest exporter of oil in the world.
- 8:24Speaker 8: We're taking on all of their capability for anything having
- 8:28Speaker 8: to do with the straight with a hormone straight and
- 8:30Speaker 8: I think in the end we will end up discontrolling
- 8:34Speaker 8: the whole thing.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Yeah, probably have the strongest military in the world. Saw
- 8:38Speaker 1: that energy. The President's going to make a speech Thursday night,
- 8:42Speaker 1: primetime address. This is a thing of the past, you know,
- 8:44Speaker 1: to make these primetime address network TV. Nobody watches network
- 8:49Speaker 1: TV anymore. If you're the biggest show on primetime on
- 8:54Speaker 1: a Thursday night, maybe you got two or three million viewers,
- 8:58Speaker 1: but not much. I mean handah, he has more viewers.
- 9:00Speaker 1: The five has like four million viewers. Sean Hannity Radio
- 9:05Speaker 1: show is almost seventeen million listeners. So at night, where
- 9:11Speaker 1: it used to be everybody watching primetime TV, everybody is streaming.
- 9:15Speaker 1: It's Netflix, it's Cable News, it's Peacock, it's HBO Max,
- 9:20Speaker 1: it's Apple TV. So you can do a primetime address
- 9:23Speaker 1: on television. It doesn't reach a lot of people now.
- 9:28Speaker 1: The President last night on Greg Kelly Reports, great show
- 9:32Speaker 1: on Newsmax. Every night at nine you should be watching
- 9:35Speaker 1: Greg Kelly. The President calling in to talk about all
- 9:39Speaker 1: of this.
- 9:40Speaker 9: The deal We hit him very hard last night. Every
- 9:42Speaker 9: time they send a drone, we hit him very hard.
- 9:45Speaker 9: But we had a deal, but nobody knows we had
- 9:47Speaker 9: a deal. It was a done deal and then they
- 9:49Speaker 9: broke it.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Yeah, so he will talk Thursday night, but.
- 9:54Speaker 9: It is more now we're going to guard it, and
- 9:56Speaker 9: we're gonna get paid for guarding it a lot of money.
- 9:58Speaker 9: But we just want to be reimbursed for doing all
- 10:02Speaker 9: of this, for putting our people in danger.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Now. Apparently Thursday night speech will not just be a rant.
- 10:08Speaker 1: It'll be a whole bunch of topics. He'll cover a
- 10:10Speaker 1: little everything. He will talk about election, you know, safety,
- 10:16Speaker 1: securing our elections, to Save America Act. He'll talk about,
- 10:21Speaker 1: you know, elections in Georgia that didn't seem legitimate. You
- 10:24Speaker 1: got to do this just to rile up the left.
- 10:26Speaker 1: They'll go absolutely Nu's MSNBC will cut out of the
- 10:29Speaker 1: speech right then and there. He will talk about Los Angeles.
- 10:34Speaker 1: It is a very strange situation in Los Angeles where
- 10:37Speaker 1: this guy Pratt is in the lead. Everybody goes to vote,
- 10:41Speaker 1: he seems to be the winner, and then all of
- 10:43Speaker 1: a sudden, these male in votes come in from somewhere
- 10:47Speaker 1: and there are one hundred percent against Pratt. It's just
- 10:50Speaker 1: statistically impossible. I mean, it just doesn't make any sense.
- 10:54Speaker 1: So he's going to bring that up. That will drive
- 10:56Speaker 1: the left absolutely crazy. It hasn't really exploded yet as
- 11:02Speaker 1: a big story. But in Maine, Ice killed somebody. They
- 11:05Speaker 1: shot somebody. They were looking for an illegal criminal alien.
- 11:10Speaker 1: This wasn't the guy they were looking for. But this guy,
- 11:13Speaker 1: and I don't know what it was all about, took
- 11:15Speaker 1: his car and tried to run down ICE agents. They
- 11:18Speaker 1: had to fire. Witnesses back this up. There are a
- 11:22Speaker 1: couple of witnesses that were just in the streets that
- 11:24Speaker 1: the guy tried to run them over with his car.
- 11:28Speaker 1: So it was a justified firing. But you don't have
- 11:31Speaker 1: all these Democrats try to make this a big issue.
- 11:34Speaker 1: They think it'll help Democrats win the Senate seat in Maine.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Here's Markee.
- 11:39Speaker 10: This morning, Ice murdered a man in Maine. I am
- 11:42Speaker 10: horrified by this attack and devastated that it happened here
- 11:46Speaker 10: in New England. Another life taken and another family left
- 11:51Speaker 10: grieving because of Trump's thugs. We cannot be silent in
- 11:56Speaker 10: the face of this corrupt criminal organization.
- 12:00Speaker 1: So you're gonna hear a lot of that Trump's thugs
- 12:02Speaker 1: and their Nazi stormtroopers. They murdered a guy, they shot
- 12:06Speaker 1: somebody and cold it. Well, they'll forget to mention the
- 12:08Speaker 1: guy was in his car and trying to run them over,
- 12:10Speaker 1: who was trying to ram them with his car. He
- 12:13Speaker 1: was ordered to stop, ordered to get out, and instead
- 12:15Speaker 1: tried to ram his car into them. So that's ald
- 12:19Speaker 1: that's a big thing to leave out, and you'll hear
- 12:22Speaker 1: democrats leave that out of every description. Hey, this Legionnaire's
- 12:26Speaker 1: disease is scaring a lot of people. It's all over
- 12:30Speaker 1: the Upper East Side. Two cases have now been discovered
- 12:33Speaker 1: on the Upper West Side. It happens on the top
- 12:35Speaker 1: of the apartment building in that water tank the water
- 12:38Speaker 1: cooler tower there, and it's Legionella virus and the bacteria
- 12:45Speaker 1: and it can just suddenly naturally form in the water.
- 12:49Speaker 1: And the thing that really makes it happen is heat,
- 12:52Speaker 1: a lot of heat still water that gets very, very
- 12:56Speaker 1: very warm. And this Legionnaire's outbreak, we think is the
- 13:00Speaker 1: result in large part because of the heat wave fourth
- 13:03Speaker 1: of July weekn remember the three days of one hundred
- 13:05Speaker 1: degree heat that may have caused a lot of that
- 13:08Speaker 1: to spread. Now tomorrow we've got another heat wave. It's
- 13:12Speaker 1: going to be one day. It's going to be ninety eight.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Won't quite feel as bad as that Fourth of July
- 13:17Speaker 1: stuff because it's a little less humid. But it's another
- 13:22Speaker 1: heatwave for one day, and they're worried that could start
- 13:26Speaker 1: some more legionnaires spreading into those water towers. The heat
- 13:30Speaker 1: the still water so and they're supposed to the solution
- 13:34Speaker 1: of this, you got to inspect every tower, test every
- 13:37Speaker 1: tower and clean it up if there's any legionnaires in there.
- 13:40Speaker 1: City's supposed to do that. Apparently they're not doing it
- 13:43Speaker 1: at the speed they should be doing. It's going slowly,
- 13:46Speaker 1: and Mayor mom Dni is busy with TikTok and speeches
- 13:50Speaker 1: and all that, and he's not a manager. This is
- 13:52Speaker 1: the first job he's ever had. This is where you
- 13:54Speaker 1: need some real management guys who can increase the effort.
- 13:59Speaker 1: Make sure you get all these towers checked as fast
- 14:01Speaker 1: as possible. But we'll get back to mom Donnie. It's
- 14:05Speaker 1: a FIFA FIFA week, it's over Sunday. Sunday is the
- 14:09Speaker 1: final FIFA game, Thank goodness. And then they get the
- 14:12Speaker 1: hell out of here, and is the All Star game
- 14:14Speaker 1: tonight or tomorrow? The home run derby was last night.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Tonight's the All Star game National League versus American League.
- 14:23Speaker 1: It's one of the silliest things in the world. I
- 14:27Speaker 1: like that home run derby. That's pretty good. But this
- 14:30Speaker 1: All Star game, so that's tonight, and then I'm sure
- 14:34Speaker 1: Thursday night it's a big FIFA game. So the President
- 14:38Speaker 1: not taking that into consideration. If you do a prime
- 14:41Speaker 1: time speech against that, hey we'll take some calls. Next
- 14:44Speaker 1: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
- 14:48Speaker 1: the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
