  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Mark Simone here. Welcome to the bonus segment.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: This is for you podcast listeners. We give you an
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: extra show every week. A lot happened this week. It's spring,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: winter is over. Iran continues behind the scenes. People expect
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: these straits of hormoose to be opened pretty soon, a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: week or two. War to be wrapped up in three weeks,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: four weeks or so. But not if you watch MSNBC
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: or Fake News or CNN Fact that crazy MSNBC. You
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: know that Senator Mark Kelly, that Trump hating, angry, vicious
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Senator Mark Kelly, the one that told the soldiers don't
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: follow any illegal orders and that gotten all kinds of mess.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: So there he is on MSNBC, and they allow this
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: crap to go on. First of all, I know he's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a military guy, a combat veteran, did a couple of twos.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. But he knows nothing
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: about what's going on in Iran. But they put him
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: on the air if he's got some sort of insight
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: in special knowledge. He's on MBS. Men be seen. They're
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: let them go on and on and on. The problem
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: here is Trump has no goal, no plan, no exit strategy.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: This is what we had feared the most. He doesn't
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: know what he's talking about. He has no idea about
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the planning on this war, no idea. What I guarantee
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you there was tremendous planning. And I know Trump and
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: those military guys, they'll come in. It's always the same thing.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: They give you three choices. When you're the president. The military,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the generals that come in, sir, you have three. They
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: call them Coah's course of action. There are three possible
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: courses of action. They lay out the three and the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: president picks one. Now, with Trump, that's not going to happen.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: He wants thirty choices. He'll sit there and start questioning everybody.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: They'll go and do excruciating detail on every choice. Everything,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: they'll customize it all to it come up with exactly
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the right plan. Trump is a planning freak. He's also
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a guy who has to see everything, whatever the situation.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: He'll research, investigate, call, make a million phone calls, find
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: out every detail. So when you watch a Mark Kelly,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: there's no goal. Trump always has a goal. Well, there
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: was no planning. There was endless planning. There's no exit strategy.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you they've got six exit strategies ready to go.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So just totally irresponsible for MSNBCCNN to allow people like
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that on the air. Now watch, you'll see them on
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: all the Sunday shows, the same guy who knows absolutely nothing,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and they'll have him on as if he's giving you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: incredible insight into what happened. Now these Democrats will does
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: anything shock you anymore? But the way they vote. They
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: had a bill they were voting on about deporting people
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: who commit welfare fraud, and that's a big problem here
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in this country, you know, with something like nineteen billion
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota. This welfare fraud just stealing from our government.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And throughout the history of the United States, we always
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: deported people when they got caught committing a crime if
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: they were not full citizens here. But they put it
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: up for a vote and Democrats voted against it. How
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: dare you deport somebody committing welfare fraud. We need to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: keep them here. Democrats voted against it. The vote was
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: two thirty one six to approve the Deporting Fraudsters Acts,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: but one hundred and eighty six Democrats oppose the measure. Now,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Democrats love having all the illegals here, and you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of Republicans do too. Government Republicans, it's a force.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: It's a slave labor force. You know, if you're here illegally,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you really don't have as many rights, and employers can
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: pay you less, they can pay you below minimum wage
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: if you're here illegally. So it's a great form of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: slave labor. Democrats fighting to keep it. Republicans, some Republicans
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: in Congress. Businesses they kind of like that. Hey, CBS
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: had a terrible week this week. A lot of layoffs
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: at the news division. The whole company laying off. They're
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: probably going to lay off fifteen percent of their workforce.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: They got rid of the CBS Radio News division. Wow.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And CBS Evening News. You know they got that new anchor,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Tony Well, here's part of the problem. The hell you
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: say this name? Tony docal pill, Doca pill, Doca pill.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know what his name is. No one's going
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to know. He'll be there another few months. Why bother
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to learn the name? But the CBS Evening News now
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: fell below for the first time and four million viewers.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: It's below four million, three point eight million viewers. Wow. Now,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: David Muir on ABC eight and a half million. That's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a big difference, eight and a half million, and CBS
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: has got three point eight nightly news NBC Tom Jamis,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that's not so bad. Six point five million, still way
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: below David Muir way out in front. He did you
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: see if you're watching the Oscars, did you see Jane
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Fonda on the red carpet and all that stuff. She
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: looked pretty good for eighty eight. Obviously a lot of
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: plastic surgery, but really well done. You know, you see
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of these people who get their endless plastic
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: surgery and they look plastic, and it looks fake, and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it looks like they went to a body and fender shop.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: But she her stuff looks so real and natural. She's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: eighty eight and going to work. She wants to try
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: for a third Oscar, a new film version of The
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Correspondent based on the novel. She will not only be
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in it, she'll produce, she'll star in it. That's a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: lot of work at eighty eight. She's already won a
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: few Oscars well, she wants another Oscar nomination. She won
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Best Actress Award for Clute, also for Coming Home, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: has a whole bunch of nominations so she could be
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: up for another one. You know, Bill Gates, he's all
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: tangled up with Epstein. It is really bad with the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Epstein stuff. Remember his whole fake Well, I had a
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: meeting with him about philanthropy. Yeah, the meeting was at
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: night for like twelve hours. He was there multiple times.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: His wife left them over it. So he went from
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that to finally confessing that he was with a couple
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of Russian women that came from gatesworld, and then the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: story Epstein world. The story is that there was some
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: sexually transmitted disease and Epstein had to arrange for him
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to get to a kind of an off the record
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: doctor and get some medication. You know. One thing Bill
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Gates does. He set up this thing called the Giving
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Pledge where zillionaires sign up for this Giving Pledge. And
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: what it is is, when you die, all your money
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: goes to philanthropy. When you die, all your money goes
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to philanthropy. And a lot of big names signed up
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: for it, a lot of those Silicon Valley guys and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of zillionaires signed up for it, and Warren
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Buffett was behind it, and it was put together by
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates. It's kind of you know, if you want
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to give your money to philanthropy, you just give it
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to philanthropy, don't need to sign up for the Giving
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Pledge and have your plastered all over the website and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: take credit for it. But apparently this Giving Pledge is
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: falling apart. Many of them say it's too Epstein connected
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: now because of Bill Gates. In fact, the great billionaire
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Peter Teal, he's one of the few of these billionaires,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Silicon Valley guys who are a Republican conservative. But he
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: said the Giving Pledge is now to Epstein adjacent. It's
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a fake boomer club. He's now urging fellow billionaires, including
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk, abandon the Giving Pledge get the hell away
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: from it. First of all, he said, the whole thing
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: is ridiculous, and he's right about this is the problem
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that Giving Pledge. It's not just you give away all
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: your money, but they designate the charities, and Peter Tiele
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: pointing out they're all left wing nonprofits chosen by Bill Gates,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and those left wing nonprofits tend to do the most
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: useless stuff. I know it's as global health and all that,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't do anything pretty in particular climate initiatives,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: diversity programs. Again, a total waste of your philanthropy dollars.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Put them into something more practical. And critics have also
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: pointed out this giving pledge has absolutely no enforcement mechanism,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't track if anybody actually really donates their money or
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: just says it on the website. Yeah, so forget that
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: giving pledge. It's now totally totally, just got a cloud
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: all over it. Now, these crazy democrats in New York
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: City Council, all these crazy left wing democrats just sit
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: around dreaming up the most crazy things to do. They
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: now are planning City Council members, the left wing ones
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: are considering all kinds of new legislation to crack down
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: on the self checkout line in the supermarket. You know,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the problem is you've got all kinds of criminals everywhere.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Shoplifting is not a crime anymore in New York. They
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: don't enforce it. You can do it in the drug store,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you can do it everywhere. So that's why everything is
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: locked out. But they want to go after businesses. I
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: don't know why. They just want to shut down these
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: self checkout things. They'd first, they want to pass a bill.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: It's a fifteen item limit on self checkout and at
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: least one employee has to be there to watch the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: self checkout. Well, if you got the employee there, they
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: could be the cash here. If it doesn't happen, they
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: want to find one hundred dollars to the business. We've
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: seen the consequence of removing workers from these spaces. It
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: means increased retail theft lest oversight. Well, they're not worried
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: about retail theft. MT's just pass the law that the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: district attorney has to prosecute shoplifters and that's the end
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: of it. Right now, they don't. They let them all go,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and that's why these people shoplift. It's again one Queen's
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Republican saying typical backwards leftist logic. So, hey, we're talking
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: on the show this week about oil prices. Gas prices.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: You know, they plunged everywhere under President Trump, but not
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in New York, not in California. In New York they
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: continued to stay high because of state tax and all
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Same thing in California. They tax that stuff
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to death, and they don't have a pipeline to California.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: That's one reason they don't have as much oil as
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: they should, as much gas. In California, there's no pipeline.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Why isn't there a pipeline. They wouldn't allow it because
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of environmental reasons. They wouldn't allow the building of a pipeline.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: So they got to get more oil in California. President
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Trump is now going to sign an executive order ordering
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: drilling operations in California. The Energy Department said there's a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: couple of facilities there that can produce fifty thousand barrels
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a day. President Trump will order them to resume drilling
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: operations and start producing oil. Now, this is going to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: get newso and those people nuts, they'll start going crazy.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Newsom, he got a lot of flak this week.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell he was thinking. He just,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you know how he rants and raves and makes all
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: kinds of crazy claims. So he talked about how Florida
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and Texas are the real high tax states, not California.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: It's Florida and Texas that have the high taxes. Well,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: they don't have any tax. There's no state tax in
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: either state. Obviously, DeSantis spoke up and everybody just amazed,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: even the Washington, D C. Based Tax Foundation said Newsom's
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: claims there just insane, insane, It's just crazy. Of course,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of course there's no tax in Texas or Florida, so
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you got to wonder about a guy that desperate. It'll
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: just start out and outlying. Now, people leaving California like crazy.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Even the guy that founded Uber, Travis Kalanak, he's the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: founder of Uber, leaving California. Just announced he's moving to Texas.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: The states are pushing They don't only have the highest taxes,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: but they want to push this special, big, one time,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: enormous tax on billionaire. So many of them are moving
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: out of the state just to get away from that thing. Hey,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama the Presidential Library. You know, every ex president
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: builds a library, usually a beautiful building. People work there.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: In case of Obama, it's the ugliest building ever seen.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: They're asking for unpaid volunteers. They don't want to pay you,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: they just want you to volunteer. Meantime, the CEO of
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the Obama Presidential Center, Valerie Jarrett, remember her making eight
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand a year. Eight hundred thousand a year. That's
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: a lot for a nonprofit, you know, nonprofit. Maybe the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: head gets three hundred maybe four hundred, eight hundred thousand
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a year, a little ridiculous. Total salaries and benefits at
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: this nonprofit went up to about nineteen million, then they
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: went to forty three million. It keeps expanding. Apparently financially.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: The whole thing is totally out of control. They're building
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the ugliest building anybody's ever seen. Supposed to be fifty million.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I think they're up to a billion and a half
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: now for this building. Absolutely ridiculous. More than fifty percent
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of the construction contracts went to diverse firms, and they say,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: as a result, most of the work is not getting
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: done on time, not getting done very well. It's just
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a total disaster. Another example of the management skill of
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: baronck Obama. Hey we're out of time, but I'll be
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: back Monday. I'm here every weekday ten to noon. You
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: can listen live on iHeart or a seven to ten
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: WR or get the podcast any place you get podcasts.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Spring twenty twenty six. Mark Simone here, Thanks
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: for listening.
