0:00
Speaker 1: This is seven to ten o R Boy, The Mark
0:03
Speaker 1: Simon Show starting now. Wow, lots we get you today.
0:10
Speaker 1: We'll get to Minnesota. We'll get to all those crazy, spoiled,
0:14
Speaker 1: looney protesters out there. We'll get to Jerome Powell, We'll
0:17
Speaker 1: get to Venezuela. We'll get to Iran, Golden Globes. Nobody,
0:23
Speaker 1: nobody too thrilled with that show last night, and a
0:25
Speaker 1: lot more to talk about today. Now, Minnesota, you got
0:31
Speaker 1: all these crazy screaming protesters. You've seen video all over
0:36
Speaker 1: Twitter all weekend of them jumping in front of cars,
0:38
Speaker 1: lying down in front of cars, taunting Ice agents, just
0:44
Speaker 1: yelling and screaming.
0:49
Speaker 2: Looks like walking up. He looks like this is walking up.
0:59
Speaker 1: Looks now these of course, these white liberals that went
1:05
Speaker 1: to all these colleges that indoctrinated them into the far
1:08
Speaker 1: left cook world. But also I think they came out
1:11
Speaker 1: pretty spoiled. You know, you gotta have a lot of
1:13
Speaker 1: nerve to do all this stuff. I mean, what do
1:18
Speaker 1: you do when you see a police car when you're
1:21
Speaker 1: driving and you see, oh, there's a police car behind me.
1:23
Speaker 1: What do you do?
1:24
Speaker 2: Oh?
1:24
Speaker 1: You slow down and you start going the speed limit.
1:26
Speaker 1: You try to drive perfectly, you know, you try to
1:29
Speaker 1: keep your eyes on the road. There's a police car
1:30
Speaker 1: right behind you. Would you ever have the nerve to
1:33
Speaker 1: like this woman did, this poor woman that was killed.
1:36
Speaker 1: Would you have the nerve to pull up in front
1:38
Speaker 1: of them, turn your vehicle sideways, block the road, block
1:42
Speaker 1: them in. Would you have the nerve to do that?
1:47
Speaker 3: Well?
1:47
Speaker 1: She did. It's insane. She spends the whole day yelling
1:50
Speaker 1: and screaming and taunting them and calling them names, and
1:54
Speaker 1: then drives the car into the operation, pulls up ahead
1:59
Speaker 1: of this cara of turned sideways to block the road.
2:02
Speaker 1: That usually to cops, when somebody pulls up in front
2:06
Speaker 1: and blocks the road usually means you're about to get ambushed.
2:09
Speaker 1: So you could see alarm bells going off in their head.
2:13
Speaker 1: Who would have the nerve to do that? What kind
2:15
Speaker 1: of lunatic. But these protests just out of control, just nuts.
2:20
Speaker 1: And then you got this mayor of Minneapolis firing up.
2:24
Speaker 1: This Mayor Frey, who is a far left kook. This
2:29
Speaker 1: guy plays up everything. You remember the terrible George Floyd killing.
2:33
Speaker 1: This was the same mayor that got down by the
2:35
Speaker 1: casket at the funeral. He kneeled down in front of
2:38
Speaker 1: it and started to cry and sob. Everybody believed it
2:41
Speaker 1: was just theatrical for the cameras, But this guy just horrible.
2:46
Speaker 4: I did not say that ice enforcement was unconstitutional. What
2:50
Speaker 4: I said is the way that they are doing it
2:52
Speaker 4: is unconstitutional. You can't come into a city and discriminate
2:59
Speaker 4: solely on the bay of are you Latino or are
3:02
Speaker 4: you Somali and then randomly pick people up off the
3:06
Speaker 4: street after that.
3:07
Speaker 1: Well, you see, that's the problem. He's just making up
3:10
Speaker 1: this nonsense. They've never gone after people just for being Latino.
3:13
Speaker 1: They've never randomly picked people up off the street. In
3:16
Speaker 1: every case, they got a name, a license plate number,
3:18
Speaker 1: and address something. They're going after people with criminal records.
3:22
Speaker 1: That's how they know who to go after. But this
3:24
Speaker 1: guy's job with the Democrats is to rile people up,
3:27
Speaker 1: to get them crazy. And if anybody's responsible to that
3:31
Speaker 1: poor woman getting killed, it's people like this who got
3:34
Speaker 1: her so crazy. I mean, again, how much nerve would
3:38
Speaker 1: you have to have to just drive your car into
3:40
Speaker 1: a big police caravan, get up in front of them,
3:43
Speaker 1: turn sideways, block them in. That takes a lot of nerve.
3:47
Speaker 1: Or if they told you to get out of the
3:48
Speaker 1: car to speed away. I mean, she is a criminal.
3:51
Speaker 1: If he had not been shot, she would be in
3:53
Speaker 1: jail now. She'd be on trial for the next few
3:56
Speaker 1: years of her life for a number of crimes she committed,
3:58
Speaker 1: like seven crimes there. But it's just a ridiculous situation
4:03
Speaker 1: being fueled by Now. Yeah, I know you're saying this
4:06
Speaker 1: is getting bad, it's hurting Trumpet. Just remember this is
4:10
Speaker 1: always the case. Democrats always overplay their hand, and they'll
4:16
Speaker 1: do it this time. It looks good for it looks
4:18
Speaker 1: good to them, looks like it's working. Then they'll always
4:21
Speaker 1: overplay their hand and completely destroy their side and the process.
4:26
Speaker 1: This is a call to defund ice. You're going to
4:29
Speaker 1: hear this a lot in the coming week or two.
4:31
Speaker 1: Defund ice. But again, they'll overplay their hand. From what
4:34
Speaker 1: I hear, they don't actually want to defund ice. They
4:37
Speaker 1: just want to act like they're trying to defund ice. Now. Friday,
4:41
Speaker 1: they had the big meeting with all the top oil
4:43
Speaker 1: companies at the White House. We got rid of Maduro
4:47
Speaker 1: in Venezuela. There's seventeen trillion dollars in oil sitting under
4:53
Speaker 1: the ground. There three hundred billion gallons of oil sitting there.
4:59
Speaker 1: This would be great for the Venezuelan economy, our economy, everybody.
5:04
Speaker 1: But the problem is getting it out of the ground.
5:06
Speaker 1: The oil infrastructure is completely decayed and decrepit, and somebody
5:10
Speaker 1: has to go in there and rebuild the oil infrastructure.
5:12
Speaker 1: That would be the big oil companies. It would cost
5:15
Speaker 1: them probably one hundred billion dollars. It would probably really
5:19
Speaker 1: take fifteen years. So there was a meeting on Friday
5:22
Speaker 1: at the White House where the President had all the
5:26
Speaker 1: top oil company executives there, and this was to get
5:30
Speaker 1: the thing going. But but they kind of said, well
5:34
Speaker 1: not kind of. They came right out and said, we're
5:36
Speaker 1: not interested. We can't do it. We're not going in there.
5:39
Speaker 1: The situation is too crazy. Now. I remember, it may
5:42
Speaker 1: be under control right now with Donald Trump, but start
5:46
Speaker 1: building these oil infrastructure things could take many years, and
5:50
Speaker 1: who knows, in three years Trump has gone and Venezuela's
5:54
Speaker 1: taken over by socialists again and they seize everything. It
5:58
Speaker 1: happened before to the oil companies. As they pointed out
6:01
Speaker 1: last time, around fifteen billion worth of their infrastructure was
6:05
Speaker 1: seized by the Venezuelan government. So they don't want to
6:08
Speaker 1: go in there. They told the president, so he wasn't happy.
6:11
Speaker 1: We're dealing with them very well.
6:12
Speaker 5: I think they've been very smart in the way they've
6:14
Speaker 5: dealt with us, frankly, because that could have been obliterated
6:18
Speaker 5: with one more strike, and we didn't want to do that.
6:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, Venezuela is cooperating. They're giving us whatever oil they can,
6:23
Speaker 1: but but there's not a lot of oil in there
6:27
Speaker 1: right now. They're lucky if they get three hundred thousand
6:29
Speaker 1: barrels out of there instead of of millions and millions
6:33
Speaker 1: a day. But these oil companies don't want no part
6:36
Speaker 1: of this. The last thing they want to do is
6:38
Speaker 1: go in there and spend a fortune. Not to mention,
6:41
Speaker 1: you know, not just having all their assets seized, but
6:43
Speaker 1: having their people seized. It's too dangerous the situation. No
6:47
Speaker 1: matter what Trump can promise them again, he might not
6:50
Speaker 1: be there in three years. You don't know what's going
6:51
Speaker 1: to happen now in Iran, the rebels of the rebellion
6:56
Speaker 1: is growing and growing. A lot of people think the Ayatola,
6:59
Speaker 1: the leader, the evil dictator, will be They think he'll
7:02
Speaker 1: be gone maybe the next week or two. That it'll
7:05
Speaker 1: get out of hand, he won't be able to control it,
7:07
Speaker 1: and he'll decide to flee. Russia's offered to take him in.
7:11
Speaker 1: He would bring with him his family and inner circle.
7:14
Speaker 1: They think it's about twenty people. If they leave, well,
7:17
Speaker 1: then Iran actually could become a democracy, a free country.
7:21
Speaker 1: You know, Iran used to be a beautiful, prosperous country
7:24
Speaker 1: before it went crazy when they threw out the shaw.
7:27
Speaker 1: Before that, it was just booming. It looked like Las
7:29
Speaker 1: Vegas and Tehran. But it's an interesting situation. The president
7:33
Speaker 1: ready to respond well, watching the situation very carefully.
7:37
Speaker 5: I've made the statement very strongly that if they start
7:39
Speaker 5: killing people like they have in the past, we will
7:42
Speaker 5: get involved. We'll be hitting them very hard where it hurts.
7:45
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now there's a lot they can do. They can
7:47
Speaker 1: quickly take out certain government assets, weapons, all that sort
7:51
Speaker 1: of stuff. If they try to go after the protesters. Now,
7:55
Speaker 1: if you get rid of the Iola who runs the country,
7:57
Speaker 1: well you could leave it up to the rebels the protester.
8:00
Speaker 1: But there are people here, you know, the Chavrain has
8:03
Speaker 1: a son who's been here in the United States for decades.
8:07
Speaker 1: There's a huge Iranian diaspora, A lot of it here
8:12
Speaker 1: in this country, a lot of it all over the place.
8:14
Speaker 1: You know, in New Jersey, Long Island got a lot
8:17
Speaker 1: of Persians there, very very very smart business people. I mean,
8:22
Speaker 1: they could take this country and just turn it around
8:24
Speaker 1: in weeks. So Pelavi, Reza Pallavi is the son of
8:30
Speaker 1: the Shah rand. He wants to go back and be
8:32
Speaker 1: the leader. He's sixty five now, lives in Maryland, lived
8:35
Speaker 1: in New York for a while. But I don't know.
8:40
Speaker 1: The whole community would have to back him. I don't
8:42
Speaker 1: know that they do. He's been campaigning for this for many,
8:46
Speaker 1: many years, cultivating relations with DC officials, and he would
8:51
Speaker 1: like to be Maybe they'll let him go in first,
8:54
Speaker 1: be like the Jay Garner of this whole thing, because
8:56
Speaker 1: the first guy in is going to have a problem,
8:58
Speaker 1: so it's going to be a mess. It's the same
9:00
Speaker 1: you want to be the second guy in this situation. Greenland, Well,
9:04
Speaker 1: we're getting closer and closer to something. Now, we're not
9:07
Speaker 1: going to invade. We're not gonna be First of all,
9:10
Speaker 1: there's only fifty three thousand people in Greenland. The entire
9:15
Speaker 1: population of Greenland could not fill Yankee stadium, So in
9:19
Speaker 1: invasion it would take about forty minutes. But we're not
9:23
Speaker 1: going to do it's just negotiating. But at some point
9:25
Speaker 1: they'll make a deal, will acquire Greenland. The president is
9:29
Speaker 1: It's not just President Trump. Every president's wanted to do this.
9:32
Speaker 1: Harry Truman made a really really serious effort for a
9:35
Speaker 1: long time, but all the way back to Abraham Lincoln,
9:38
Speaker 1: we've tried to do this. Greenland is a very important
9:40
Speaker 1: to US militarily, strategically, mineral wise, all that stuff.
9:44
Speaker 5: I'm not talking about money for Greenland yet. I might
9:47
Speaker 5: talk about that, but right now we are going to
9:50
Speaker 5: do something on Greenland.
9:52
Speaker 1: Whether they like it or not, well, that's just you know,
9:55
Speaker 1: it sounds threatening, menacing. He's negotiating now. A lot of
9:59
Speaker 1: times when the US does a military excursion, you know,
10:04
Speaker 1: capture Maduro, take out some foreign leader, you know, like
10:08
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, Barack Obama did with the air raids and
10:12
Speaker 1: the strikes. Whenever you do that sort of stuff, sometimes
10:17
Speaker 1: it's to let the world know and get a look
10:19
Speaker 1: at some of your new weapons. That's how we introduced
10:21
Speaker 1: the stealth bomber to the world. One of those attacks
10:25
Speaker 1: on Iran Iraq, it was actually Iraq. Back then, the
10:28
Speaker 1: stealth bombers can be totally undetected by radar. Frightened a
10:32
Speaker 1: lot of our enemies, even the Russia. China was frightening
10:36
Speaker 1: to them. They didn't have that kind of technology. They
10:39
Speaker 1: could see that we were way ahead of that. So
10:42
Speaker 1: we did that. In Venezuela a week ago, we showed
10:45
Speaker 1: off some new weapons that nobody knew about. It's some
10:48
Speaker 1: sort of sonic weapon. When US troops came in there,
10:53
Speaker 1: there were hundreds and hundreds of Venezuelan troops and Cuban
10:56
Speaker 1: troops there defending the palace. They took out this sonic
11:01
Speaker 1: weapon and pointed it at all of those hundreds of troops,
11:05
Speaker 1: and people there say they don't know what the hell
11:07
Speaker 1: it was or what hit them. Some sort of sonic
11:09
Speaker 1: weapon that just brought all those soldiers right to their knees.
11:14
Speaker 1: They started bleeding like crazy through their nose, they started
11:17
Speaker 1: vomiting blood all over the place. Whatever this weapon is,
11:20
Speaker 1: you just pointed at everybody and they're totally incapacitated. So
11:26
Speaker 1: it was the first time this was seen again. Some
11:28
Speaker 1: sort of sonic weapon. Nobody knows exactly what it was.
11:31
Speaker 1: That's how twenty US troops were able to go in
11:33
Speaker 1: there and do whatever they want with hundreds of troops guarding.
11:37
Speaker 1: Just this unbelievable sonic weapon shooting took place, and they
11:43
Speaker 1: said the American weapons were so precise and had such speed.
11:48
Speaker 1: They were talking about like three hundred rounds per minute
11:50
Speaker 1: were being fired, so there were no match for these weapons. Russia, China,
11:54
Speaker 1: everybody else got to look at this stuff for the
11:56
Speaker 1: first time, and it scares people there people a lot.
12:01
Speaker 1: Every time you do something like this, it makes other
12:04
Speaker 1: countries not want to ever mess with the US military,
12:07
Speaker 1: So that's a good help. What else the Golden Globes,
12:13
Speaker 1: everybody was kind of not kind of everybody was very disappointed.
12:17
Speaker 1: What's her name? Nikki Glazer monologue was good, It was okay.
12:22
Speaker 1: Everybody looked bored out of their mind. It's not like
12:24
Speaker 1: the oscars where you sit in theater seats. This is
12:27
Speaker 1: where you sit at tables with food and drinks. It
12:29
Speaker 1: looks like a party. But if you watched all the
12:32
Speaker 1: shots of all the celebrities, they look like they were
12:35
Speaker 1: in a coma ward. They looked so bored with this
12:37
Speaker 1: whole thing. It was a very boring show. Now, remember
12:41
Speaker 1: the Golden Globes. It's not like the Oscars and the
12:42
Speaker 1: Oscars the big names of Hollywood vote the Golden Globes.
12:46
Speaker 1: Nobody really votes. Nobody knows who the hell votes. It's
12:49
Speaker 1: always been a sleezy organization. And again it's not the
12:53
Speaker 1: classiest show. In fact, a lot of people a little stunned.
12:56
Speaker 1: They didn't do any immemoriam, no mention to Rob Ryan,
13:00
Speaker 1: people that we lost in the pasture, Diane Keaton, Robert Redford,
13:04
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman. It was a bit of a mess. Marty
13:07
Speaker 1: Supreme did very well, very well. It's a great movie.
13:12
Speaker 1: Go see it. You'll love Marty Supreme. It's expected to
13:15
Speaker 1: do very well at the Oscars. Excellent movie. I knew
13:20
Speaker 1: the real Marty Supreme. His name was actually Marty Reesman.
13:25
Speaker 1: And all the ping pong stuff in the movie about
13:27
Speaker 1: being the world champion, that's all true. The other stuff
13:31
Speaker 1: totally made up. The gangsters, the car chases, the guns,
13:34
Speaker 1: the fight, none of that. Really. This guy was actually
13:36
Speaker 1: the most boring guy in the world in real life.
13:39
Speaker 1: So anyway, we got a lot to get to today.
13:44
Speaker 1: Oh now here's the left wing press. They just go nuts.
13:47
Speaker 1: They just try to get President Trump on something. Everything
13:50
Speaker 1: he does is wrong, everything he does is a crime,
13:53
Speaker 1: everything he does is suspicious. Everything. So here's mediaite. Media
13:58
Speaker 1: eight is a very slanted left wing website. They do
14:02
Speaker 1: a big story about how President Trump, while he was
14:06
Speaker 1: in Palm Beach, the motorcade took a very mysterious detour
14:12
Speaker 1: and went to a mysterious dentist appointment. This is the
14:16
Speaker 1: actual headline. Trump goes to mystery dentist appointment. He's in
14:25
Speaker 1: pom Beach. Apparently he has a local dentist there that
14:27
Speaker 1: he likes. That's one of his regular dentists. So he
14:29
Speaker 1: was in Palm Beach. He went to this dentist's office
14:32
Speaker 1: at eight thirty in the morning and then left about
14:35
Speaker 1: ten o'clock. The motorcade left them. The spokesperson said. The
14:39
Speaker 1: president did not undergo any anesthesia. Now, if you went
14:42
Speaker 1: to a dentist, what would you do there for an hour? Well,
14:48
Speaker 1: I hate to break it to you, he probably got
14:49
Speaker 1: his teeth cleaned. I get my teeth cleaned every few months.
14:52
Speaker 1: You go to the dentist and you're there for about
14:55
Speaker 1: an hour and then you'll leave. I think that's it.
14:58
Speaker 1: So for these left sites to say, it's a mystery
15:02
Speaker 1: why he went to the dentist for an appointment. What
15:05
Speaker 1: could possibly take place in the dentist's office that would
15:08
Speaker 1: be anything scandalous, anything unusual. Again, probably just a cleaning.
15:12
Speaker 1: The President tweeting away the rest of the night. Hey,
15:16
Speaker 1: we'll get to Mom Donnie. He's got his first big
15:19
Speaker 1: proposal coming up. No, it's it's to create bathrooms, public bathrooms.
15:26
Speaker 1: This is his big plan, but it'll be a good test.
15:30
Speaker 1: He wants to spend four million dollars on what he
15:33
Speaker 1: calls high quality, modular public restrooms, and he's put out
15:39
Speaker 1: feelers to companies to come up with a plan. He says,
15:42
Speaker 1: right now there's a thousand restrooms across five boroughs, but
15:46
Speaker 1: he wants to add many more because if you figure
15:48
Speaker 1: that out, it's one restroom for every eighty five hundred
15:53
Speaker 1: New Yorkers. And by the way, most of these public
15:55
Speaker 1: restrooms are in parks. So this is his big plan,
15:59
Speaker 1: a Mom Donnie restroom. Now, yeah, you can make your
16:03
Speaker 1: own joke there, but this is his big legacy toilets.
16:07
Speaker 1: But it'll also be his first test of whether or
16:10
Speaker 1: not this guy's never had a job, never worked, never
16:13
Speaker 1: run anything. This will be his first management test. Can
16:16
Speaker 1: he handle this? Can he get proper companies doing good bids?
16:20
Speaker 1: Can he get a good plan? You remember other politicians
16:23
Speaker 1: have tried these public restrooms and ended up spending like
16:27
Speaker 1: a million dollars on a little public bathroom. A million
16:31
Speaker 1: dollars would normally build you a mansion. But we'll see
16:34
Speaker 1: what mom down he does here. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
16:36
Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the
16:40
Speaker 1: number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. If
16:45
Speaker 1: you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio app, save time
16:48
Speaker 1: and tap the preset button.
16:49
Speaker 3: Now.
16:50
Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simone show on water. Hey,
16:58
Speaker 1: let's take some calls. Let's coach Michael on the east side. Michael,
17:02
Speaker 1: how you doing?
17:03
Speaker 6: Hey, Mark, you're my morning vitamins. I'm glad to hear him.
17:08
Speaker 6: Mont Demmi is flush with cash. Might I say these
17:13
Speaker 6: are gonna be called pity potties because we're gonna see
17:19
Speaker 6: how much extra money he spends on these things.
17:22
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's another thing. Whenever socialists get into power,
17:26
Speaker 1: money seems to go missing, Contracts get handed out dramatically,
17:31
Speaker 1: overpaying for everything, and then the money seems to vanish
17:34
Speaker 1: Minnesota Somali daycare. Good example of Bill de Blasio with
17:40
Speaker 1: his thrive NYC. This could be the beginning of that
17:42
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, this restroom contract. Let's go to David
17:46
Speaker 1: and Queen's David. How you doing, Hey, Mark, Good morning Mark.
17:51
Speaker 3: One of the pluses of Cuomo not winning was that
17:54
Speaker 3: we didn't have to look at that proof face Melissa's dirt.
17:57
Speaker 1: No, he did what he said. But the rumor is
18:01
Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo wants to do a radio show. Oh my god,
18:05
Speaker 1: this is there's a curse in the Cuomo family. Whatever
18:08
Speaker 1: they try radio, it's disaster. His father, who I love twice,
18:12
Speaker 1: tried a radio show. It was disaster. Didn't last long.
18:16
Speaker 1: Cloma has tried it before. It's one thing he really
18:20
Speaker 1: stinks at when you're on the radio. You can't talk
18:25
Speaker 1: slow like he talks. And you know how when he
18:32
Speaker 1: wants to sound dramatic, he makes his voice go up
18:34
Speaker 1: and down, so all of a sudden he'll hit a
18:38
Speaker 1: high note like that. And then the other thing is
18:43
Speaker 1: it's one of the characterists of guys that always lie.
18:46
Speaker 1: They ask themselves questions and answer them. So as he's talking,
18:50
Speaker 1: he'll say what do we mean when we say democracy.
18:54
Speaker 1: Well we meet so a radio show. This will be
18:58
Speaker 1: I hope it happens. It'll be the disaster. It's the
19:02
Speaker 1: Cuomo curse. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how
19:04
Speaker 1: you doing.
19:06
Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark. Yes, Mike, this is the beginning of
19:09
Speaker 7: Mamdani turning the city into a giant toilet. But as
19:13
Speaker 7: you mentioned, it's the project has been attempted before.
19:16
Speaker 2: Many years ago.
19:17
Speaker 7: There was a Spanish company, I believe, and they put
19:20
Speaker 7: up a bunch of experimental standalone toilets. They locked after
19:24
Speaker 7: you use them, they self cleaned and then within one
19:27
Speaker 7: minute cycling they were open again. And they proposed to
19:30
Speaker 7: the city to build all these around at their expense.
19:33
Speaker 7: And all they wanted was the rights to the advertising
19:37
Speaker 7: on the build on these civil instructures, and they and
19:40
Speaker 7: they charactered. There was something like eighty seven different authorities
19:44
Speaker 7: that they had to go through, the homeless, the preservations,
19:47
Speaker 7: the society, and they said, screw this, We're not doing
19:50
Speaker 7: business with this crazy city. It's it's insane to get
19:53
Speaker 7: anything built. And it disappeared. It was a great project.
19:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you want to make the perfect public toilet
20:00
Speaker 1: that is easy to clean, indestructible, efficient. I bet if
20:04
Speaker 1: you went to some great private company, if you went
20:07
Speaker 1: to Tim Cook and Apple and they did an eye
20:10
Speaker 1: toilet for you, it would be phenomenal. But this is Mom,
20:13
Speaker 1: Donnie and socialist. They'll find some companies in the bronx.
20:17
Speaker 1: They'll overpay like crazy. It won't work. We tried this before.
20:20
Speaker 1: Democrats have tried this. They end up penning eight million
20:22
Speaker 1: a toilet. It doesn't work. As you say, well where
20:26
Speaker 1: are they? They're all gone. They didn't work. Let's go
20:29
Speaker 1: to Bill Lafayette, New Jersey. Bill. How you doing, Hi?
20:33
Speaker 2: Mark?
20:33
Speaker 3: I'm Mark. A couple of days ago, there was new
20:36
Speaker 3: footage released about the Minnesota shooting, about the woman who
20:40
Speaker 3: was shot by the ice agent. Yeah, and it looks
20:43
Speaker 3: like it's tampered with because I looked on Google later
20:46
Speaker 3: on it said tampered footage of shooting release. And I
20:51
Speaker 3: don't know if you saw that or not. But everybody
20:54
Speaker 3: was calm and collected, and a passenger got out of
20:57
Speaker 3: the car and she was cool and got back in
21:00
Speaker 3: and then all hell broke blue. So do you know
21:02
Speaker 3: anything about that?
21:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is some tampered let's just say doctor doctored
21:06
Speaker 1: footage that's been chopped up and edited a little all
21:09
Speaker 1: over the internet. There's somewhere they've added some dialogue that
21:12
Speaker 1: wasn't there before. Listen, the shooting is totally one thousand
21:17
Speaker 1: percent justified under every law, in every police department. The
21:21
Speaker 1: shooting was justified. She drove Adam. The first shot he
21:26
Speaker 1: fired went through the front windshield, which means he was
21:29
Speaker 1: in front of the car. It's impossible to fire through
21:32
Speaker 1: the front windshield if you're on the side. So she
21:34
Speaker 1: did run at him, she did hit him. Now, if
21:37
Speaker 1: you talk to the top law enforcement guys in the
21:39
Speaker 1: world off the record, they'll say, you know, he really
21:43
Speaker 1: didn't have to fire. He justified. He can, but probably
21:46
Speaker 1: shouldn't have. You know, let her go and then you'll
21:50
Speaker 1: catch you a couple of blocks later. I think from
21:51
Speaker 1: what I hear, even Tom Holman is thinking that he
21:53
Speaker 1: didn't have to fire. But he's in no legal jeopardy.
21:57
Speaker 1: He's totally justified. Holman has been pretty careful in his response.
22:03
Speaker 1: This is him yesterday.
22:04
Speaker 8: We need to let this play out. But while we're
22:07
Speaker 8: doing that, we got to stop the hateful Reddit. Sanders
22:10
Speaker 8: officers a murderer is dangerous, it's just ridiculous. It's just
22:15
Speaker 8: gonna and it's going to infuriate people more, which means
22:20
Speaker 8: it's going to be more insolence like this because the
22:22
Speaker 8: hateful reddic it's not only continuing now is triple down
22:25
Speaker 8: and double dub.
22:26
Speaker 1: Yeah again, could be a little more restraint. You didn't
22:28
Speaker 1: have to fire. But he's totally justified in firing. He's
22:33
Speaker 1: in no legal jeopardy. He has committed no violation of
22:37
Speaker 1: any rule, law or anything. He is totally justified in
22:41
Speaker 1: the shooting. Oh, when we come back, Ed Rollins will
22:44
Speaker 1: be with us. We've got a lot to talk to
22:45
Speaker 1: him about President's next moves. We'll get to the mid terms,
22:49
Speaker 1: we'll get to twenty twenty eight and more. Just ahead
22:51
Speaker 1: on seven to ten w R.
22:55
Speaker 4: He's more Marks the Marksimone Show on seven tenle.
23:01
Speaker 1: Well, let's turn to the dean himself, the greatest political analyst,
23:04
Speaker 1: the ball boy. He's run a million campaigns, He's run
23:06
Speaker 1: the most successful campaigns of all, Ed Rollins, How you
23:10
Speaker 1: doing pretty good?
23:12
Speaker 2: Mark?
23:12
Speaker 1: Are you good?
23:14
Speaker 2: A lot of activity going around in the world. Well,
23:16
Speaker 2: do I want to be sitting on the White House today?
23:18
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you, as the veteran of a
23:20
Speaker 1: lot of white houses, these protests all over the streets,
23:22
Speaker 1: all this video, all this stuff we're watching. Is this
23:24
Speaker 1: hurting or helping the president?
23:28
Speaker 2: Right now? It's undefined. I mean, I think I think
23:31
Speaker 2: some of the things he's doing are very beneficial to
23:33
Speaker 2: the country. Some of the things are distracting. I mean,
23:36
Speaker 2: his mission has got to be now we're really in
23:39
Speaker 2: the middle of the start of the mid terms, He's
23:43
Speaker 2: got to basically give his party something to run on,
23:45
Speaker 2: and it has to be something that they they're not
23:48
Speaker 2: going to win on bad like Venezuela or changing Iranian
23:52
Speaker 2: resolves or what have you. It's be It's gonna be
23:54
Speaker 2: economy and particularly healthcare, and he's got to focus on that.
23:59
Speaker 2: I mean, this sidebarth is like getting rid of Powell
24:01
Speaker 2: on whate have you? Or part of the job as
24:03
Speaker 2: the president obviously, but at the end of the day,
24:06
Speaker 2: it's not what people want. People right now want to
24:08
Speaker 2: know you care about me, and so you're promised you
24:11
Speaker 2: were going to fix the economy for me, and that's
24:14
Speaker 2: what members of Congress gonna have to deal with.
24:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, they used to call that in Washington the Green
24:18
Speaker 1: Bay diner test. You know, if you went to green Bay,
24:21
Speaker 1: Wisconsin into a diner, is anybody talking about this? And
24:24
Speaker 1: if they're not, it's not an issue.
24:26
Speaker 2: So well in Green Bay they're not talking about any
24:28
Speaker 2: of the Green Bay losses. But you're absolutely right it is.
24:34
Speaker 2: And when you got twenty two million people that have
24:37
Speaker 2: their healthier altered in the sense of paying much higher
24:39
Speaker 2: rates for the insurance, that's a that's a lot of
24:43
Speaker 2: activity out there.
24:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Democrats want to pass this, you know, patch
24:49
Speaker 1: the subsidies, extend the subsidies for in a year or two.
24:52
Speaker 1: But doesn't that kind of hurt them in the midterms
24:53
Speaker 1: if it's all taken care of, it's not.
24:57
Speaker 2: Going to be taken care of. I mean, I don't
24:59
Speaker 2: think it's going to resolved unless the Republicans will and
25:01
Speaker 2: make some some big change in their and their plans.
25:06
Speaker 2: They're they're talking doesn't say to be Another problem is
25:10
Speaker 2: the speak of Johnson's space. He is you know, he
25:13
Speaker 2: has no majority. I mean, it sits down to two votes.
25:16
Speaker 2: Got to make sure everybody's there every day, uh, you know,
25:18
Speaker 2: and their congressman died over the week. Over the last
25:21
Speaker 2: couple weeks, to California.
25:24
Speaker 1: Uh.
25:24
Speaker 2: And the numbers are just you know, two or three
25:26
Speaker 2: vote margins. You're always missing two or three voters uh
25:29
Speaker 2: in the Congress, And so I think it's task. It's
25:31
Speaker 2: very very difficulty.
25:34
Speaker 1: Hey, I was just getting back to these protests and
25:35
Speaker 1: all the video we're seeing protesting defund dice, all this
25:38
Speaker 1: stuff that you've seen this a million times. Don't the
25:41
Speaker 1: Democrats when they do this stuff, don't they end up
25:43
Speaker 1: always overplaying their hand and going too far.
25:47
Speaker 2: They do. But but you can't you can't bet on
25:50
Speaker 2: the other side doing We have to worry about what's
25:55
Speaker 2: going to help us, and I think we've got to
25:57
Speaker 2: focus on the things that matter. You know. One of
25:59
Speaker 2: the problems I think is with immigration. Obviously it was
26:02
Speaker 2: a critical issue for the president. You see a couple
26:04
Speaker 2: of thousand guys in heavy military guard in Minnesota standing
26:09
Speaker 2: around guarding a federal bill, and that doesn't make people
26:13
Speaker 2: think about stopping illegals coming into the country. Maybe an
26:17
Speaker 2: underlying part of it, but at the end of the day,
26:19
Speaker 2: people want to see those guys out there on the
26:21
Speaker 2: borders making sure that people are being we're here illegally
26:24
Speaker 2: or improper arrested. And they want criminals arrested. They don't
26:28
Speaker 2: want the ordinary guy who's been there for twenty thirty
26:30
Speaker 2: years who works in the market, works on the farms,
26:32
Speaker 2: who may be here illegally harassed and drag through the fields.
26:37
Speaker 2: I opplicated issue.
26:38
Speaker 1: There's always issues, always problems. But when you agree that
26:41
Speaker 1: you worked with Reagan, Nixon, everybody, when you agree the
26:43
Speaker 1: president's having a very successful second term. Usually it's rough
26:47
Speaker 1: the second term, but so far he's getting a lot done.
26:51
Speaker 2: He's getting a lot done. This president's got the strongest
26:53
Speaker 2: position of any president I've seen in my lifetime that
26:56
Speaker 2: presidential scholar. When I haven't worked for presidents, I worked
26:59
Speaker 2: for several. He has basically taken on a lot of things,
27:04
Speaker 2: and he's got great powers. The Congress has given him
27:07
Speaker 2: to a certain extent, give given them much of their power,
27:10
Speaker 2: and I think to a certain extent, he's got to
27:12
Speaker 2: make sure the things he does. He can't do everything
27:14
Speaker 2: every day. You've got to make it to make sure
27:16
Speaker 2: that your message is getting out. There is here the
27:18
Speaker 2: five or three two things that are doing in the
27:20
Speaker 2: healthy American public?
27:22
Speaker 1: Yeah? So, and what about twenty twenty eight? Gavin Newsom
27:25
Speaker 1: looks like the front runner. But what do you think.
27:28
Speaker 1: He's the show horse, not the workhorse.
27:31
Speaker 2: They say he's a show horse, and he's got severe
27:34
Speaker 2: problems in California, financial issues and what have you. And
27:38
Speaker 2: he has him a particularly good governor, but sometimes it's
27:41
Speaker 2: a matter of change, you know. And he's getting up
27:44
Speaker 2: the attention at this point in time, and you know,
27:47
Speaker 2: I think there'll be several of the candidates are running,
27:49
Speaker 2: so they're going to have a primary. We may have
27:50
Speaker 2: a primary too, though, so I think at the end
27:52
Speaker 2: of the day, we need to focus on the mid
27:54
Speaker 2: term and the next presidential lecture right now.
27:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, but a couple of years out, you always see
27:59
Speaker 1: some gland a good looking guy who's way out in front,
28:03
Speaker 1: Gary Hart, John Edwards. But don't they always go down
28:06
Speaker 1: in flames. They never end up with the nomination.
28:07
Speaker 2: Do they. Fortunately fortune they happen up to this point
28:11
Speaker 2: in time. My sense is, yeah, I think the critical
28:15
Speaker 2: thing here is there's so much on the plate right now,
28:19
Speaker 2: let's make sure we have full scale of candidates. We're
28:22
Speaker 2: still going to see small Republicans drop out. I mean
28:25
Speaker 2: they're they're coming back from their home vacation Christmas vacation,
28:29
Speaker 2: and a lot of them have beat up pretty good
28:30
Speaker 2: by their friends and family. You'll go back there and
28:33
Speaker 2: do something. What's going on? If if you sat me
28:36
Speaker 2: down today and you and I had luncheon said, are
28:38
Speaker 2: heard that the worships of matter, what would they be?
28:41
Speaker 2: H you?
28:41
Speaker 7: Could you have?
28:42
Speaker 2: Could do it? I could do it? It could the
28:44
Speaker 2: public do it? That's the key thing here is you've
28:46
Speaker 2: got to make sure you have a communication message. Uh,
28:49
Speaker 2: here's what we're doing. While we're doing it, you know,
28:51
Speaker 2: getting rid of Chairman Powell, are basically dragging into the
28:54
Speaker 2: course for overspending and building a building is not is
28:58
Speaker 2: not what the country's focusing.
29:00
Speaker 1: Uh hey, Rose, let me ask you something. The divisiveness,
29:04
Speaker 1: the hatred. You know, if you have anything with Trump,
29:06
Speaker 1: people won't talk to you. They screaming. When you were
29:09
Speaker 1: working for Nixon or Reagan, it was divided then. But
29:11
Speaker 1: was it that bad Whether people have refused to speak
29:13
Speaker 1: to you because you were working for them?
29:16
Speaker 2: No, dog, And this is the worst I've ever seen it.
29:20
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I don't know when it goes
29:22
Speaker 2: back in the bottle again. In the sense that we've
29:25
Speaker 2: got to have some bipartisanship. That unless either side winds
29:29
Speaker 2: big in the in the midterms, which you know, I
29:32
Speaker 2: would say at this point in time, that's that's unlikely.
29:34
Speaker 2: It's still going to be very divided Congress. And it's
29:37
Speaker 2: how you got to look to the public. You're working together. Yeah,
29:41
Speaker 2: we're not. We're not a parliamentary system where you know,
29:45
Speaker 2: democracy and equally s important. You know, we can't get
29:48
Speaker 2: military to all these places. We've got a great military.
29:52
Speaker 2: We need to build it up. But the big battles
29:54
Speaker 2: are still Ahead's gonna be a budget battles. I mean,
29:56
Speaker 2: you know, we still got the whole CONVI has to
29:59
Speaker 2: deal with the budget. That's that's gonna be a real battle. Yeah.
30:02
Speaker 1: Hey, today, later today, Bruce Blakeman gets inaugurated for a
30:06
Speaker 1: second term county executive. I think he'd be he'd be
30:09
Speaker 1: a great governor.
30:11
Speaker 2: Uh.
30:11
Speaker 1: The what are the chances for a Republican in New
30:15
Speaker 1: York State?
30:17
Speaker 2: Well and not great because of the overwhelming of Democrats.
30:20
Speaker 2: And Bruce is a superb candidate who's run a great county.
30:24
Speaker 3: Uh.
30:25
Speaker 2: And I think if anything, that he won't he won't
30:28
Speaker 2: have a primary. And I think to a certain extent,
30:31
Speaker 2: we have an opportunity against a very very weak governor.
30:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well Ed Rolands, great stuff. We always
30:37
Speaker 1: love talking to you. Thanks for being with us. Take care.
30:41
Speaker 1: Yeah later today. Bruce Blakeman inauguration for a second term
30:45
Speaker 1: is County. He's the best county executive in America. And
30:49
Speaker 1: the job of a county executive you're basically the governor.
30:51
Speaker 1: You're the governor of Nassau County, and Nassau County is huge.
30:56
Speaker 1: It's three million people. It's bigger than some states. So uh,
31:00
Speaker 1: there's nobody more qualified to take over as governor of
31:03
Speaker 1: New York election coming up later this year. He would
31:05
Speaker 1: be perfect. I'm going to go to the inauguration today.
31:09
Speaker 1: I'll report back to you tomorrow all about it. Hey,
31:11
Speaker 1: don't forget Buck and Clay. They'll be here at noon
31:14
Speaker 1: today with a great show for you. And then the
31:16
Speaker 1: most listened to radio show in America Sean Hannity at three,
31:20
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly at six, Jimmy Fayler. Boy, people love this
31:23
Speaker 1: new show. It's a great talk show. It's interesting, it's entertaining,
31:27
Speaker 1: it's funny. Jimmy Fayler every night at nine, seven to ten.
31:30
Speaker 1: WR Mar Simo seen. Well, Jerome Powell. The DOJ I
31:41
Speaker 1: think was Jenine Piro announced, Well, they didn't announce it. Actually,
31:45
Speaker 1: there's an investigation into Powell. You know, the FED rebuilt
31:48
Speaker 1: this office building. Should have been about a five hundred
31:51
Speaker 1: million dollar job. They spent about three billion. So everybody
31:54
Speaker 1: wants to know where the missing money went and why
31:57
Speaker 1: they overpaid so unbelievably much. But Powell had a testify
32:02
Speaker 1: for Congress, so I guess the charge will be lying
32:06
Speaker 1: the Congress. Now, usually it'd be Congress that would bring
32:08
Speaker 1: these charges, so for the Justice Department to do this,
32:11
Speaker 1: President Trump responded, this is not the way I want
32:16
Speaker 1: to go, implying that he's not behind it. But apparently
32:21
Speaker 1: was Powell that released this. He's trying to get ahead
32:23
Speaker 1: of it. So it was Powell that and he doesn't
32:26
Speaker 1: usually do this, but all of a sudden, he held
32:28
Speaker 1: a press conference, and he put on the glasses, got
32:30
Speaker 1: all dressed up and created a beautiful background and everything,
32:34
Speaker 1: and did this press conference announcing that he's a target.
32:37
Speaker 1: I guess he implied it was law fare. But if
32:40
Speaker 1: all that money went missing, you're either a crook or
32:45
Speaker 1: you're a total incompetent. If you couldn't keep track of
32:47
Speaker 1: your spending and you're overpaid by like eight million percent
32:51
Speaker 1: on a new building, you're really incompetent. So either way,
32:54
Speaker 1: it's taxpayer money comes out of people's paychecks, it should
32:58
Speaker 1: be investigated. Hey, we got a lot to get to
33:00
Speaker 1: in the next hour. We'll get to McDonald's, we'll get
33:03
Speaker 1: to Minnesota and a mom Donnie, and a whole lot
33:07
Speaker 1: more coming up right after the news. Mark Simone here
33:10
Speaker 1: on seven to ten wo
