Hour 2: The ceasefire is over. · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: The Mark simonshell delivering the news before it is on
0:04
Speaker 1: seventy ten.
0:05
Speaker 2: Wr Hey, finally a beautiful Sonny eighty degree dude. Today,
0:15
Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to. We'll get to Iran,
0:17
Speaker 2: and we'll get to FIFA, and we'll get to Platner
0:21
Speaker 2: and the midterms and a whole lot more well Iran.
0:27
Speaker 2: President Trump saying the negotiating is over. He said there
0:32
Speaker 2: are a bunch of liars and creeps, at one point
0:34
Speaker 2: calling them scum. Now he's a brilliant negotiator, President Trump.
0:40
Speaker 2: He's done it for years. He's written the book literally
0:44
Speaker 2: on negotiating the art of the deal. It's forty years
0:48
Speaker 2: of incredible actually more fifty years of incredible negotiating. So
0:52
Speaker 2: he knows how to do this as well as anyone
0:54
Speaker 2: on earth. But his whole life, he's been negotiating with
0:58
Speaker 2: business people, with unions, with real estate guys, with the
1:02
Speaker 2: City of New York. You know, well he's building all
1:05
Speaker 2: over the world, with governments. So whenever you're negotiating with those,
1:09
Speaker 2: they're somewhat reasonable. Those people they all have their own interests.
1:12
Speaker 2: You know. Business people are business people. They're at some
1:15
Speaker 2: point want to make a deal. Same thing with the
1:17
Speaker 2: government everything else. So this is the first time I
1:20
Speaker 2: would bet that he's ever dealt with total lunatics. Now,
1:25
Speaker 2: through the years, when you're building buildings in New York City,
1:28
Speaker 2: I imagine you got to deal with the mob a lot.
1:31
Speaker 2: So he's negotiated with the gangsters, the mobsters, he's had
1:34
Speaker 2: to do that. But again, they're mobsters. It's organized crimes,
1:39
Speaker 2: so they have a it's an actual business. You can
1:42
Speaker 2: negotiate with them. But when you're dealing with crazed, fanatic lunatics,
1:47
Speaker 2: there's no rhyme or reason to anything. So that's the problem.
1:51
Speaker 2: That's the problem. So he's said, that's it for the negotiating.
1:56
Speaker 2: We have been bombing as of yesterday, we started about
1:59
Speaker 2: five o'clock. We've been bombing over and I hit about
2:01
Speaker 2: eighty five targets. But this is nothing. They're going to
2:05
Speaker 2: escalate this and they're going to really you know, during
2:08
Speaker 2: the peace of the last couple of months, the memo
2:11
Speaker 2: of understanding the peace agreement. You remember for the last
2:15
Speaker 2: few months, what did you keep hearing over and over again.
2:18
Speaker 2: They should go in there and finish the job. We
2:20
Speaker 2: should finish them off. We should finish the job. Well,
2:22
Speaker 2: I think you can see that happen. Now, you'll see
2:25
Speaker 2: that happen. Now. The relationship with Israel a bit strained.
2:29
Speaker 2: Net and Yahoo taking to Twitter or to cable TV
2:32
Speaker 2: to speak to Trump. So this big strain is there now.
2:35
Speaker 2: Who knows, that could just be for the cameras, But
2:40
Speaker 2: that'll all get repaired and it may come to go
2:44
Speaker 2: back to what it was with Israel and the US
2:46
Speaker 2: militaries both working very closely together to get this finished.
2:51
Speaker 2: And it may take ground troops, but I know they've
2:54
Speaker 2: thought about one thing. It may take ground troops to
2:58
Speaker 2: finish off the IRGC or the leaders. But if that's
3:03
Speaker 2: the case, the ground troops would be Israeli ground troops.
3:07
Speaker 2: We'll back them up with air support and all of that,
3:11
Speaker 2: but the Israeli ground troops pretty effective in that area,
3:14
Speaker 2: and they would know exactly where to go. The Israelis
3:17
Speaker 2: would know exactly what cave, what tunnel, wherever to go.
3:21
Speaker 2: So expect Iran to get finished off, and if that happens,
3:25
Speaker 2: it'd probably be quick a couple of weeks. This pause
3:30
Speaker 2: of a few months gave them the US plenty of
3:32
Speaker 2: chance to restock missiles, drones, all that stuff, and to
3:37
Speaker 2: carefully work on targets and planning. It's already the most
3:42
Speaker 2: planned war in history. The Pentagon has been working on
3:45
Speaker 2: Iran battle plans for forty five years, but in the
3:47
Speaker 2: last seven weeks we've really tweaked everything. So expected to
3:53
Speaker 2: get really really rough for Iran pretty soon. President talking
3:58
Speaker 2: about the what happened as Iran hit a couple of
4:02
Speaker 2: ships in the Straight of Horn Moose and then we
4:04
Speaker 2: saw some activity at their nuclear sites and that wasn't good.
4:07
Speaker 3: This is live for.
4:08
Speaker 1: Me, this is live farming, this is live forming.
4:13
Speaker 3: You're running dodger.
4:16
Speaker 2: The Iranian Straight of Horror Moose. Anyway, the President will
4:21
Speaker 2: now really really let him have it. Let me see
4:24
Speaker 2: if I can find the President on that. It's here
4:29
Speaker 2: somewhere here.
4:30
Speaker 4: We don't want to sanction friends.
4:31
Speaker 2: It's very simple. Oh that's actually NATO. We lost the
4:35
Speaker 2: Iran cust here somewhere. Though he called them scum, he
4:39
Speaker 2: called them liars, he called them insane. When he gets
4:44
Speaker 2: really mad, things can get really ugly for Iran, so
4:47
Speaker 2: it's not going to be good for them. Hey, he's
4:49
Speaker 2: also talking about Greenland again there for the NATO talks
4:52
Speaker 2: with the NATO leaders, Greenland is back on the agendaing
4:57
Speaker 2: taking possession of Greenland. Now, we would probably buy it
4:59
Speaker 2: for a great deal of money.
5:01
Speaker 4: That's what hurt my relationship with NATO because Greenland doesn't
5:06
Speaker 4: help Denmark. Denmark doesn't spend money to really help Greenland.
5:12
Speaker 4: But it's an important part for the United States and
5:15
Speaker 4: it's surrounded by China ships and Russian ships.
5:19
Speaker 2: So what happened is Denmark actually owns Greenland. We want
5:23
Speaker 2: to buy it from them for billions of dollars. They
5:27
Speaker 2: had a huge debt that would pay off their debt.
5:29
Speaker 2: It was the deal that made perfect sense. They don't
5:32
Speaker 2: need Greenland for anything, we actually do, so we would
5:36
Speaker 2: buy it and would take care of Denmark. However, this
5:40
Speaker 2: is the problem. Ozempic was invented, believe it or not,
5:45
Speaker 2: out of Denmark. Ozempic became the biggest drug in the world.
5:50
Speaker 2: Ozempic has brought in billions and billions and billions of
5:55
Speaker 2: dollars to Denmark, so they don't need our money anymore.
5:58
Speaker 2: That's what stalled the whole thing. Now, the reason we
6:01
Speaker 2: want Greenland at first, it's a very important place strategically
6:05
Speaker 2: for our military defense, very important for all kinds of
6:10
Speaker 2: reasons too lengthy to go into. We need Greenland for
6:12
Speaker 2: military defense. We needed for a base, we needed for radar,
6:15
Speaker 2: we need it for all kinds of things, missile. It's
6:18
Speaker 2: just really important militarily. And that's why the Russians have
6:23
Speaker 2: been trying to take Greenland. We're very worried about Russia
6:26
Speaker 2: or China taking possession of it first. Now the other reason.
6:30
Speaker 2: It's filled with minerals, tons and tons and tons of minerals,
6:34
Speaker 2: so we need those. There's a tiny population on Greenland,
6:40
Speaker 2: tiny so small that President Trump is offered everybody in
6:44
Speaker 2: Greenland will give you up ten million dollars or something
6:46
Speaker 2: like that, so they would all go along with it.
6:50
Speaker 2: Democrats will. Now you'll hear them all over the airwaves
6:52
Speaker 2: all over the place. You'll hear Democrats yelling and screaming
6:57
Speaker 2: about how this is insane. Why would we want Greenland?
7:01
Speaker 2: The president is crazy. Trump's crazy, What does he want
7:03
Speaker 2: in Greenland? Now? The truth is every US president going
7:07
Speaker 2: back to the nineteen twenties has made the same case
7:10
Speaker 2: that we need Greenland. Every president, Democrat, Republican have all
7:16
Speaker 2: made the case that we've got to have Greenland. Many
7:18
Speaker 2: of them tried negotiating it with Denmark. So every Democratic president,
7:23
Speaker 2: Republican president has tried to get Greenland. They will, these
7:27
Speaker 2: fake newspeople will get that amnesia they always get, and
7:30
Speaker 2: they'll forget that, and they'll make it sound like this
7:32
Speaker 2: is some crazy Trump idea. It's not. So the building
7:37
Speaker 2: collapse pretty bad, pretty pretty bad. This building was the
7:43
Speaker 2: Pfiser Building, forty second Street. It's I don't know, it's
7:48
Speaker 2: like forty to fifty stories. It's big and fat and
7:51
Speaker 2: wide up to the twentieth floor. Then from the twentieth
7:54
Speaker 2: floor up it's smaller. So they tried to expand it.
7:58
Speaker 2: In other words, on the twentieth floor they tried to
8:00
Speaker 2: add like ten floors above half of the twentieth floor,
8:04
Speaker 2: and the steel beams couldn't handle the weight of these
8:07
Speaker 2: new twenty floors. You would think, whoever the architect was,
8:12
Speaker 2: whoever the builder was, they would have figured this all
8:15
Speaker 2: out and calculated this correctly. Obviously they didn't, and that's
8:21
Speaker 2: what caused it to buckle. How are you going to
8:23
Speaker 2: fix it? Who knows? Nobody knows how the hell they're
8:27
Speaker 2: ever going to fix this. Here's Mayor Mom Donnie. The
8:30
Speaker 2: reason they were doing all this. They were trying to
8:31
Speaker 2: convert this office building to residential.
8:35
Speaker 5: This is an existing thirty seven story building with active
8:39
Speaker 5: permits to convert it from a commercial office building to
8:42
Speaker 5: a residential building.
8:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, so fixing it. I don't know how the hell
8:47
Speaker 2: they're going to fix it. This is going to be really,
8:51
Speaker 2: really difficult. You may have to take down the twenty
8:54
Speaker 2: stories they built above it. There might be a way
8:57
Speaker 2: to reinforce those steel beams, if they're there was a way,
9:01
Speaker 2: I'm assuming they would have done it. Everybody's forty second Street,
9:06
Speaker 2: second and third close to traffic at forty third Street
9:08
Speaker 2: as well, Fire department. Everybody's there.
9:11
Speaker 5: The way this.
9:12
Speaker 2: Building is constructed, it's a steel framed building, so it
9:15
Speaker 2: would not be a total collapse. It would be more
9:17
Speaker 2: of a localized collapse. But that remains our concern that, Yeah,
9:25
Speaker 2: no steel being building. In other words, it wouldn't topple over.
9:28
Speaker 2: It would pancake down. That's what happened with the World
9:32
Speaker 2: Trade Center. But then it sends stuff flying in every direction.
9:36
Speaker 2: Here's this is the Apartment of Buildings.
9:38
Speaker 6: What we are focused on and what we feel like
9:41
Speaker 6: the next step is is making sure we can get
9:43
Speaker 6: into that twenty first floor to add additional emergency trustes
9:47
Speaker 6: to spread that load and be able to move on
9:50
Speaker 6: with the investigation.
9:51
Speaker 3: Yeah.
9:52
Speaker 2: So in other words, they have to be able to
9:53
Speaker 2: get in there at some point, build these emergency support beams,
9:57
Speaker 2: these new support beams. But as he said, that would
10:00
Speaker 2: just be temporary. That would just be to stabilize the
10:02
Speaker 2: building and give them time to figure out what the
10:05
Speaker 2: solution is. And I have a feeling the solution is
10:08
Speaker 2: going to be tearing down those twenty floors they built
10:10
Speaker 2: above the twentieth floor. And I don't know how the
10:13
Speaker 2: hell you do that or how long. I mean, this
10:15
Speaker 2: block could be closed for a long long time.
10:20
Speaker 3: Now.
10:20
Speaker 2: If he is successful stabilizing the building with those emergency
10:23
Speaker 2: support beams, then maybe maybe he could open it to traffic.
10:28
Speaker 2: He'd lose a lane or two for construction, but not
10:31
Speaker 2: going to be easy. Graham Platner is causing all kinds
10:36
Speaker 2: of problems for the Democrats. They've decided they want him out,
10:41
Speaker 2: not because he's a rapist, not because he's a Nazi.
10:44
Speaker 2: There's nothing to do with it. They just realize there's
10:46
Speaker 2: more stuff coming. There's too much stuff.
10:49
Speaker 7: Now.
10:49
Speaker 2: They realize he can't win. That's the only reason they
10:51
Speaker 2: want him out. You could have a big Nazi tattoo
10:53
Speaker 2: all over your face, doesn't bother them. Can't win, that
10:56
Speaker 2: bothers them. That bothers them, so they want him out.
11:00
Speaker 2: He's got to get out by I think it's next week.
11:03
Speaker 2: There's a deadline where if he doesn't drop out by then,
11:07
Speaker 2: there's no way to remove him from the ballot. So
11:10
Speaker 2: he's got to get out now, he's holding up the process.
11:12
Speaker 2: He should just get out, but he's demanding the right
11:16
Speaker 2: to pick his replacement. I don't blame the guy forgive
11:21
Speaker 2: him a hard time, because I think Platner realizes he
11:24
Speaker 2: has absolutely no future in politics. He can never run again.
11:28
Speaker 2: This is it, end of the line. So he's got
11:31
Speaker 2: to cash us in and get whatever he can. He's
11:33
Speaker 2: demanding finally pick his replacement. All the big supporters. Bernie
11:40
Speaker 2: Sanders was his original big booster, and he said nothing
11:43
Speaker 2: for two days. Bernie Sanders has finally weighed in. Sanders said,
11:48
Speaker 2: I've spoken with Grime Platner about the best Perth forward
11:52
Speaker 2: for Maine in light of these very serious negotiations allegations.
11:57
Speaker 2: I have recommended that he's step aside. Even Bernie Sanders
12:01
Speaker 2: threw in the towel and gave up. You know, the
12:04
Speaker 2: ex girlfriend tells the story of being raped by him.
12:06
Speaker 2: Apparently there's another woman about to come out. So what
12:11
Speaker 2: does Mom Donnie say about platnir?
12:13
Speaker 5: The focus of today should be to respond to the
12:16
Speaker 5: gravity of what so many of us have read. And
12:19
Speaker 5: I think that the only appropriate response is for the
12:21
Speaker 5: campaign to come to an end.
12:22
Speaker 2: Ah, even Mom Donnie says, get out. Hey, you notice
12:25
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie he talks very fast. Whenever Mom Donnie talks,
12:28
Speaker 2: he talks really fast. So that way he sounds very
12:29
Speaker 2: smart because he's talks so fast. But do you ever
12:31
Speaker 2: know this was a difficult question. He slows down. Listen.
12:36
Speaker 5: The focus of today should be to respond to the gravity.
12:40
Speaker 2: Of Yeah, yeah, he gets slow and well it's a
12:42
Speaker 2: rough question. He gets a little slow on things. Hey,
12:47
Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell, looks like he's doing a little better. There
12:51
Speaker 2: were reports that he was brain dead. It was all
12:54
Speaker 2: over the place yesterday that he was declared officially brain dead.
12:57
Speaker 2: That is not true. Those reports may the news and
13:00
Speaker 2: they were spreading all over the internet. So McConnell started
13:04
Speaker 2: calling people, colleagues, and gop leaders from his hospital bed
13:09
Speaker 2: to assure them that he's actually okay. Oh, Jeopardy. They're
13:17
Speaker 2: looking for a writer, a new clue writer. You know,
13:19
Speaker 2: somebody writes all those questions and clues and all that stuff.
13:24
Speaker 2: And apparently the guy's leaving. So this is a big
13:27
Speaker 2: thing for you know, if you're in the Jeopardy universe,
13:30
Speaker 2: it's a big thing. First time in a million years,
13:32
Speaker 2: they've hired a new writer and they're auditioning. They say,
13:35
Speaker 2: thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people. You know,
13:39
Speaker 2: you got to know all this stuff. I can't watch
13:41
Speaker 2: Jeopardy because it starts with three nerds. And then they
13:47
Speaker 2: introduced the three nerds, and then at some point that
13:49
Speaker 2: he says, tell us about yourself and the nerds. It's
13:53
Speaker 2: the least interesting people in the world. And then they
13:56
Speaker 2: start the game and these three they know everything. This
14:00
Speaker 2: is a river in Mugadishu, and they know the river.
14:04
Speaker 2: I can't believe it, this eighteen forty seven poem, and
14:08
Speaker 2: they know the answer. It's unbelievable. So you gotta be
14:10
Speaker 2: pretty smart to write these clues. The job pays one
14:16
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty two thousand up to one hundred and
14:18
Speaker 2: seventy eight thousand. Now, for some jobs, that would sound
14:22
Speaker 2: like a lot of money. But for Jeopardy, I would
14:24
Speaker 2: think the clue writer, the one that makes up the questions,
14:28
Speaker 2: I would think that's the most crucial thing on the show.
14:31
Speaker 2: That's what people are watching for. This show makes like
14:34
Speaker 2: billions of dollars a year. That's all they're going to
14:37
Speaker 2: pay the guy. I mean, for a show that's making billions,
14:42
Speaker 2: this job should pay a lot more than that, but
14:44
Speaker 2: that's all they pay for the job. Hey, we'll take
14:47
Speaker 2: some calls next. Eight hundred three to two one zero
14:50
Speaker 2: seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three to two
14:53
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten.
14:55
Speaker 1: Jeez, mister New York Mark Simon on seven ten.
15:00
Speaker 2: Are Hey, we'll take some calls. Actually, we want some
15:03
Speaker 2: new callers. We had a lot of new callers first
15:05
Speaker 2: time callers yesterday, like some more today. Eight hundred three
15:09
Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
15:13
Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten. If you're an old
15:16
Speaker 2: call eaton call too. But let's get some new callers
15:18
Speaker 2: as well. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
15:23
Speaker 2: Let's go to Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you doing.
15:27
Speaker 3: New and nude callers. I couldn't understand what you're saying.
15:30
Speaker 2: Both we'll take nude or new callers.
15:33
Speaker 3: How is nobody talking, of course the presses cost How
15:36
Speaker 3: is nobody talking about brain dead Mitch McConnell and the
15:40
Speaker 3: big election that's gonna have to happen in Kentucky and
15:43
Speaker 3: thank god, the Republican Saints War where the governor does
15:46
Speaker 3: not pick a replacement senator interim senator. How is this
15:50
Speaker 3: not on the front page of every news You got
15:52
Speaker 3: a brain dead guy nobody knows.
15:55
Speaker 2: It turns out he's not brain dead. He's very sick
15:58
Speaker 2: and he's in the hospital, but dead. He's been calling
16:01
Speaker 2: people to tell him he's not brain dead.
16:03
Speaker 3: Another reason for term limits. But why is this guy
16:05
Speaker 3: not just gonna say, okay, listen, pick somebody. I got
16:07
Speaker 3: to take care of myself. These people are so power hungry,
16:10
Speaker 3: that's he all these people Schumer perfect example, term limits,
16:15
Speaker 3: term limits, term letits.
16:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I absolutely agree. The problem is, how are
16:18
Speaker 2: you going to get term limits? The Congress would have
16:21
Speaker 2: to vote for them, vote themselves out of place.
16:24
Speaker 3: It's like doctor is doing investigations on doctor's mistakes. It
16:27
Speaker 3: never happens, you know.
16:28
Speaker 2: So yeah, all right, good call, thanks for calling, because
16:32
Speaker 2: that's the problem. And as long as he got President
16:34
Speaker 2: Trump here, he's the one guy that could push this.
16:37
Speaker 2: I know they're not going to want to vote for
16:39
Speaker 2: it because the term limits them out of there and
16:41
Speaker 2: they'd have to go into the real world. But he
16:43
Speaker 2: should push that like crazy. Let's go to John in
16:47
Speaker 2: Hell's Kitchen. John, how you doing.
16:49
Speaker 7: Good morning to you, Mark sim Own good man. I
16:54
Speaker 7: gotta say something Mark. Over the holiday over the Fourth
16:57
Speaker 7: of July weekend here in New York, I live in
17:00
Speaker 7: the House Kitchen area, tenth Avenue. No American like down
17:04
Speaker 7: the on the River American. No American flags anywhere. No
17:08
Speaker 7: American flags and windows and stores in restaurants. And it
17:12
Speaker 7: bothered me because I'm seventy years old and it's the
17:15
Speaker 7: first time I didn't see American flags everywhere. And when
17:18
Speaker 7: I went into the restaurants, you know what, they said,
17:20
Speaker 7: bad for business?
17:22
Speaker 2: What's bad for Oh well yeah, I understand, But it's
17:26
Speaker 2: How's Kitchen that was always kind of known for ethnic
17:29
Speaker 2: restaurants and all that stuff around.
17:30
Speaker 7: No, no, we have, but there was always flags in
17:34
Speaker 7: every restaurant. There was always flags. Yeah, and now all
17:38
Speaker 7: of a sudden, the American flags become bad for business.
17:41
Speaker 7: Like this sunny hostin yesterday. I don't know. I'm sure
17:44
Speaker 7: you heard what she had to say about the American
17:46
Speaker 7: flag that if you're show an American flag, it's a sign,
17:49
Speaker 7: it's a dog whistle that you're a white supremacist. I mean,
17:52
Speaker 7: it's getting ridiculous.
17:55
Speaker 2: Absolutely right, good call, absolutely right. You know, it's like
17:58
Speaker 2: a you'd call something press one for English. I think
18:02
Speaker 2: at some point it's going to be press seven for English.
18:05
Speaker 2: We're not going to be number one on that list anymore.
18:08
Speaker 2: Let's go to Chris and Bethpage. Chris, how you doing?
18:12
Speaker 3: Andy?
18:13
Speaker 2: Mark Good?
18:14
Speaker 8: I just love what's going on right now. I don't
18:16
Speaker 8: care what anyone says. I've never been happier. These Democrats
18:21
Speaker 8: are just shooting themselves in the foot. They can't get
18:23
Speaker 8: out of each other's way. This dude up in Maine
18:27
Speaker 8: almost sealed the deal. There are very good Democrats like
18:30
Speaker 8: Bill mar I always use them as example. He's just
18:33
Speaker 8: calling the party out and there seems no getting it back.
18:37
Speaker 8: There's a big division in there, and I just think
18:40
Speaker 8: it's great for the Republicans. And they should just sit back,
18:42
Speaker 8: eat their popcorn and let this group destroy themselves. Because
18:46
Speaker 8: I've never seen anything like this.
18:48
Speaker 2: I'm an excellent, excellent point. I agree, totally excellent point.
18:51
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. Let's go to uh Dan in Manhattan. Dan,
18:56
Speaker 2: how you doing.
18:57
Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark. I have a question, but I have
19:00
Speaker 3: wanted to tell you for a while. I really admire
19:03
Speaker 3: your loyalty to President Trump. I know you know him personally,
19:07
Speaker 3: and people judge him for his public persona, and your
19:10
Speaker 3: loyalty is just such a great quality. And your diplomacy
19:15
Speaker 3: regarding Curtis, and I know you're good buddies with his
19:18
Speaker 3: old boss.
19:19
Speaker 2: I hear it, But.
19:21
Speaker 3: There is no no buds at all. The question is
19:25
Speaker 3: I think you're the one to ask, why are there
19:28
Speaker 3: no Abbin and Costello reruns on TV? Would you send
19:31
Speaker 3: any idea?
19:31
Speaker 2: Boy, Yeah, I can explain that. I don't know if
19:33
Speaker 2: you heard it's now twenty twenty six.
19:37
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, we have all those channels with the
19:40
Speaker 3: oldies on them, but.
19:43
Speaker 2: Those alies from the seventies, they're not from early.
19:47
Speaker 3: He's still on once in a while. I just wondered
19:52
Speaker 3: if it was if there was an issue with the
19:54
Speaker 3: estates or no.
19:55
Speaker 2: No, no, I don't know. Very very very very old.
20:00
Speaker 2: It was kind of a cheaply done show at the time.
20:02
Speaker 3: It was very it was very cheap but hilarious.
20:05
Speaker 2: Well it was. And I don't know if you know,
20:07
Speaker 2: but Seinfeld said that was the most influential show abb
20:11
Speaker 2: and Costello's TV show for Seinfeld, he copied a lot
20:14
Speaker 2: of the Abbot and Costello show.
20:16
Speaker 3: I remember you said that. And he even had a
20:18
Speaker 3: character Sid Fields. Yeah, yeah, but the landlord and is
20:23
Speaker 3: real that was his actual name.
20:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said he based a lot of Seinfeld on
20:26
Speaker 2: the abb and Costello TV show, the same format they lived.
20:29
Speaker 2: They all lived in the same apartment building. They had
20:32
Speaker 2: a newman on Abbot and Costello. What was he called
20:34
Speaker 2: Stinky or something like that.
20:36
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Joe Besser.
20:38
Speaker 2: Joe Pesser. Yeah, so, uh do you watch Seinfeld?
20:42
Speaker 3: Oh? I love Seinfeld. Okay, I could definitely see the
20:45
Speaker 3: influence absolutely.
20:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, very derivative of Avon Costello. Well, you know, if
20:49
Speaker 2: you go to YouTube, you can watch every episode of
20:51
Speaker 2: Abbot and Costello.
20:53
Speaker 3: You know what, You're right, I've been I've been catching
20:55
Speaker 3: up on NYPD Blue, which I know you also like I.
20:58
Speaker 2: Well love I watched it on YouTube all the time.
21:00
Speaker 2: Forget anything else. I just watch YouTube. You can watch
21:03
Speaker 2: any show that was ever on television, any sitcom, any drawn,
21:07
Speaker 2: anything that was ever on television. Every episode is now
21:10
Speaker 2: up on YouTube. You'll love it. Great call, thanks for calling.
21:13
Speaker 2: Let's go to Carl in Sayerville. Carl, how you doing fine?
21:17
Speaker 9: Mark you all that that address that May and Madonnie
21:24
Speaker 9: made with all those people behind him? Yeah, they said
21:27
Speaker 9: he had the desk turned around.
21:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the stupidest Fourth Uly video. He sat
21:32
Speaker 2: at George Washington's desk, but he had it turned around
21:34
Speaker 2: so the drawers were facing us, not him. It was ridiculous.
21:38
Speaker 9: I didn't understand that. It almost looked like Gomez Adams
21:43
Speaker 9: and the Adams Family.
21:44
Speaker 2: Yeah it did. It looked quite quite creepy. Now, in
21:47
Speaker 2: mom Donnie's defense, I don't think he's ever seen a
21:50
Speaker 2: desk before, because remember he's never had a job, he's
21:53
Speaker 2: never worked in his life. He's never been in an office.
21:57
Speaker 2: Where would he have ever seen a desk. He was
22:00
Speaker 2: a rapper, he was like a what did he do
22:05
Speaker 2: before that? Was he a teacher? But he's never been
22:08
Speaker 2: in an office. I have a feeling that the desk
22:11
Speaker 2: needs instructions for him. He's never seen one or used
22:13
Speaker 2: one ever in his life. Hey, when we come back
22:16
Speaker 2: and Coulter will be with us next lots to talk
22:19
Speaker 2: to her about on seven to ten. Woor Welcome back
22:23

Speaker 2: good stuff on that and Culter Rumble Channel and Culter,
22:50
Speaker 2: how you doing?
22:52
Speaker 1: Fantastic? Congratulations Mark Simone. You did not tell me you
22:56
Speaker 1: won the Broadcasters Award for Talk Magazine or Talk.
23:01
Speaker 2: Barrett Barrett Media, Barrett.
23:03
Speaker 1: Media, Barrett Media, and I would be very upset that
23:07
Speaker 1: you didn't invite me to it as you have in
23:09
Speaker 1: the past, except I wasn't in New York.
23:11
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't invite anybody. It's a I don't know
23:15
Speaker 2: someone about what inviting people to watch you get an award.
23:18
Speaker 2: That's a little legotistical, isn't it.
23:20
Speaker 1: Uh No, I would have cheered like math Oh.
23:23
Speaker 2: Okay, well yeah, you should come anyway. Because you had
23:25
Speaker 2: every major talk show host in America all in one room.
23:29
Speaker 2: You couldn't get a worded.
23:33
Speaker 1: That's true.
23:33
Speaker 2: That So a guy just called. He said, I love
23:37
Speaker 2: what's going on. I love this. I love watching the
23:39
Speaker 2: Democrats just shoot themselves in the foot. I love watching
23:43
Speaker 2: them destroy their whole party. He said, just get some
23:45
Speaker 2: popcorn and sit back and enjoy this. What do you think.
23:50
Speaker 1: Never get complacent, never ever, ever. I mean I remember
23:55
Speaker 1: hearing this and giving the same warning back when O'Reilly
23:59
Speaker 1: was saying every night, how how Franklin running for senat
24:03
Speaker 1: Oh ho ho ho. We're not even going to discuss
24:05
Speaker 1: discuss it. There's a joke. He's not going any place.
24:08
Speaker 1: And I kept telling him and his producers stopped being
24:11
Speaker 1: so casual about this. He could very well win. We're
24:13
Speaker 1: talking about Minnesota. Never get complacent. I mean, there are
24:17
Speaker 1: great things that I saw. I forget who this guy was,
24:21
Speaker 1: but he was a lefty saying that one of these
24:24
Speaker 1: is a paraphrase. One of the eternal facts of modern
24:28
Speaker 1: American politics is, no matter how disliked the Republicans, are
24:33
Speaker 1: Democrats will come up with a way to be disliked
24:35
Speaker 1: even more. And that is true. So they have that
24:39
Speaker 1: going again. So they are they they are having this
24:41
Speaker 1: fight with the mostly you know, as you point to
24:47
Speaker 1: Pok with Mom, Donnie, mostly foreign foreigners who hate our country,
24:52
Speaker 1: really pushing socialism and ending killing the Golden Goose, and
24:57
Speaker 1: the establishment Democrats, who's the main thing has been to
25:02
Speaker 1: call Trump a fascist. I really find this hilarious that
25:05
Speaker 1: the way Democrats described the division and the party is
25:09
Speaker 1: the base they're looking for fighters. What Democrats has not
25:15
Speaker 1: been fighting Trump? There is nothing you can say about.
25:19
Speaker 3: Him that would get you.
25:20
Speaker 1: No, No, we can't have this guy on TV again. No,
25:23
Speaker 1: we can't have this person writing for the New York
25:26
Speaker 1: Times or the Washington Post. I mean, they've thrown everything
25:28
Speaker 1: they have in him. And I'm talking about elected Democrats too.
25:31
Speaker 1: They impeached him twice, they had those endless hearings. Anyway,
25:36
Speaker 1: what's going on in Maine. One thing to note about
25:41
Speaker 1: that is Platner was losing to Collins. Yes, he was up,
25:46
Speaker 1: you know, a month ago, but recent polls showed him falling, falling, falling,
25:50
Speaker 1: and Susan Collins usually usually wins even when the polls
25:55
Speaker 1: show her losing. So there had just been enough crap
26:00
Speaker 1: out this guy building up, building up, building up. I
26:02
Speaker 1: don't think it was this one thing. I think this
26:04
Speaker 1: was just the straw that broke the camel's back. And
26:09
Speaker 1: actually Nate Silver had a really good post on this
26:11
Speaker 1: that you know, when someone keeps keeps giving you, giving
26:15
Speaker 1: you problems that he hasn't warned you about, you really
26:18
Speaker 1: got to cut dait on this. So I think they've
26:20
Speaker 1: probably had no choice to but to dump him. But
26:24
Speaker 1: don't think that this is Democrats showing you know how
26:27
Speaker 1: moral they are. No, there are some candidates we have integrity.
26:33
Speaker 1: There's some candidates we will not accept. No, he was
26:35
Speaker 1: about to lose. What they do next, it'll be interesting
26:40
Speaker 1: to watch. And the one thing I keep returning to
26:43
Speaker 1: when it comes to Susan Collins is I love that
26:46
Speaker 1: they're trying to portray her like she's I don't know me.
26:51
Speaker 1: She's a moderate, she votes a lot of the Democrats,
26:55
Speaker 1: she's a thorn in the Republican side, but she does
26:59
Speaker 1: really good constituents work in Maine. So we'll see what
27:03
Speaker 1: happens with the Democrats, and it'll be fun to watch.
27:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, hey, you wrote a book about communism, but
27:09
Speaker 2: the McCarthy fighting communism, which which book was the.
27:14
Speaker 1: Reason Treason?
27:16
Speaker 2: So McCarthy was trying to fight communists, get him out
27:19
Speaker 2: of the government. Uh. And did you ever think we'd
27:21
Speaker 2: have to do this for real? Now we've got to
27:23
Speaker 2: do it here in New York and Seattle.
27:29
Speaker 1: Well it was a little different then, but no, it
27:33
Speaker 1: didn't seem to be pretty much dead and very I
27:36
Speaker 1: mean even back when I wrote Treason, that was my
27:38
Speaker 1: third book, and even then I pointed out how interesting
27:44
Speaker 1: it was that in Europe, you know, they have these
27:47
Speaker 1: welter of parties. It's not it's not just you know, Republicans, Democrats,
27:52
Speaker 1: and a lot of the serious parties in European countries
27:55
Speaker 1: are communists. What was interesting about a mayor America is
28:01
Speaker 1: that the the the Nixon hard hats, the Trump bass Uh.
28:07
Speaker 1: And and I might add the men who went and
28:09
Speaker 1: fought in the Vietnam War. Our hard hats have always
28:13
Speaker 1: been our biggest right wingers, our most solid, solid patriotic Americans.
28:21
Speaker 1: Remember when the anti Vietnam Maybe I wasn't alive war,
28:23
Speaker 1: but it's a moment that stirs stirs my heart. When
28:28
Speaker 1: the when the hippie anti Vietnam protesters marched down down
28:33
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever avenue it was in New York
28:35
Speaker 1: and Mayor Lindsay hung the flag at half staff. The workers,
28:41
Speaker 1: the hard hats, came out, beat up the hippies climbed
28:44
Speaker 1: up the fat flagpole and raised it to full mast.
28:49
Speaker 1: That that what? So what did they have to do?
28:52
Speaker 1: Working people in other countries tend to be communists, not
28:57
Speaker 1: in this country quite the opposite. Still, oh, what do
29:00
Speaker 1: you do you bring in workers from other countries. They're
29:05
Speaker 1: trying to turn us into some crap ass European country.
29:11
Speaker 2: So where does this all end? I mean, like the
29:14
Speaker 2: hippie stuff, that stuff that all went away at some point.
29:17
Speaker 2: Where does this end?
29:20
Speaker 8: I don't know.
29:20
Speaker 1: I mean I guess we'll see. I'm very upset that
29:23
Speaker 1: Trump has restarted the Iran war.
29:25
Speaker 3: SOPHO.
29:25
Speaker 1: Marcus Crashing. Oh, this is fantastic. The bad news for Republicans,
29:30
Speaker 1: I mean, the good news is Democrats are out of
29:33
Speaker 1: their minds. But there are a lot of people voters
29:37
Speaker 1: who are out of their minds thanks to immigration. But
29:41
Speaker 1: right now, the single most important issue to Americans is
29:44
Speaker 1: cost of living, and they approve of the job Trump
29:47
Speaker 1: is doing by only thirty one percent. That is going
29:50
Speaker 1: to be the toughest headwind for Susan Collins. She has
29:53
Speaker 1: basically everything going in her favor. She doesn't even vote,
29:57
Speaker 1: she isn't a Trumpster, she opposes him, and yet these
30:02
Speaker 1: are big headwinds for every Republican. So don't get your
30:06
Speaker 1: hopes up too much, no matter whom the Democrats are on.
30:09
Speaker 1: And that's a particularly frog situation when this is going
30:13
Speaker 1: to be as it certainly looks like it will be
30:17
Speaker 1: a good year for Democrats where people don't really care.
30:20
Speaker 1: A lot of people vote just for the Democrats. They
30:23
Speaker 1: just think, no, I don't like what's going on in
30:25
Speaker 1: the country, I'm voting Democrats. So it's kind of terrifying
30:28
Speaker 1: that the Democrats who will be on the ballot will
30:31
Speaker 1: be such such communist lunatics. It could be a problem
30:37
Speaker 1: for the country.
30:38
Speaker 2: No, I don't know if you follow FIFA. I mean,
30:41
Speaker 2: I have no interest in FIFA, but I notice wherever
30:43
Speaker 2: I go there's a million foreigners screaming for their team.
30:51
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that's how soccer got so big in America, because.
30:57
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I wrote about I had to call
31:00
Speaker 1: attacking soccer a few years ago. I think i'll send
31:02
Speaker 1: them out on subject today, just to remind people now
31:05
Speaker 1: that hopefully FIFA fever has died down since I didn't
31:09
Speaker 1: see American's loss. But I assume, sorry, continue your port.
31:12
Speaker 1: I assume you are driving to left these being indigent
31:17
Speaker 1: at Trumps standing up for the American player.
31:21
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, first of all, I don't think he
31:23
Speaker 2: knows anything about soccer. I don't even know about some
31:25
Speaker 2: whoever called.
31:26
Speaker 1: Him he's an American begged him.
31:28
Speaker 2: To make this phone call. So but remember years ago
31:32
Speaker 2: they had soccer. It was Pele like twelve people in
31:34
Speaker 2: New Jersey watch it? That was it? Now soccer a
31:38
Speaker 2: million people all over New York. So is that just
31:41
Speaker 2: because we've got so many immigrants now?
31:44
Speaker 10: Yes?
31:44
Speaker 1: And also America hating Americans. It is such a non
31:48
Speaker 1: American flort. It is like the metric system, all these
31:54
Speaker 1: you know, not bathing, using one little sheet to wipe yourself,
31:58
Speaker 1: all these idiotic things Europeans do that The New York
32:02
Speaker 1: Times and the Lesson is always trying to push on us. Oh,
32:05
Speaker 1: come on, why do you need to take more than
32:06
Speaker 1: one shower a week. We're Americans shower three times a day,
32:13
Speaker 1: and we waste all times of gas on the grill.
32:15
Speaker 2: Yeah so uh, but you know it's caused chaos here
32:21
Speaker 2: in New York. There's a million people buying those jerseys
32:24
Speaker 2: from all these And who do you root for? I'm
32:25
Speaker 2: watching the game. It's like Paraguay versus Uruguay. Who am
32:29
Speaker 2: I supposed to root for in this game?
32:36
Speaker 1: Well, he's probably root for Adderall to keep watching, they're
32:41
Speaker 1: so boring.
32:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what do you think it'll happen with Platner? Will
32:44
Speaker 2: he get out? He's trying to demand to name his replacement,
32:47
Speaker 2: but will they get him out? And then who is it?
32:49
Speaker 2: The government? The governor will run?
32:53
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be the woman who ran against him.
32:57
Speaker 3: I never know these things.
32:58
Speaker 1: I mean, this is an internal Democrat site. I think
33:01
Speaker 1: he kind of has to get out now. I will say,
33:07
Speaker 1: contrary to conventionalism, I really don't think this latest accusation
33:12
Speaker 1: is absolutely the worst thing. I never thought the quote
33:16
Speaker 1: Nazi tattoo was the worst thing. Either one of those
33:19
Speaker 1: taken in isolation with with an otherwise you know, stellar candidates.
33:25
Speaker 1: But this guy just had a million things. I mean,
33:28
Speaker 1: he was on some you know meat young teens for
33:32
Speaker 1: sex website, sex thing. During his marriage, he viciously attacked
33:37
Speaker 1: some poor American soldier who had his leg blown off.
33:42
Speaker 1: It's just one thing after another coming out. And the
33:45
Speaker 1: reason I don't think this one thing the rape. I
33:50
Speaker 1: know this sounds odd, but by her own account, he
33:53
Speaker 1: was so drunk he didn't know what he was doing. Yeah,
33:56
Speaker 1: really really bad behavior. It was a drunken race. But
33:59
Speaker 1: it's quite different from someone who knows what he's doing
34:02
Speaker 1: when he's committing a rape.
34:04
Speaker 2: But it's also the fact that he looks like the
34:06
Speaker 2: guy in Cape fear that they looks like the killer
34:09
Speaker 2: and that movie flex should be a factor too.
34:12
Speaker 1: Well, I love it. This is the idea of the Democrats,
34:15
Speaker 1: like fucking class a white man. We got to run
34:18
Speaker 1: some white men and every Democrat they can pull out
34:22
Speaker 1: who isn't a soy boy, a foreign or a woman.
34:27
Speaker 1: You know, it turns out to be a psychopath. It's
34:29
Speaker 1: probably because why would any white man be a Democrat.
34:33
Speaker 2: Well, I hate to say it, we're out of time,
34:34
Speaker 2: but everybody go to a follow and culture on substack
34:38
Speaker 2: it's and culter dot substack dot com because there she's
