  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Mark Simone Show, seven tenor well
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: freezing cold today. So we're just talking about this a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: moment ago, Marjorie Taylor Green. You remember that looney woman,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green. So she turned on Trump when on
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Trump started attacking them, attacking him, attacking him. Trump attacked
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: her back, called her a trader. So she left politics. Now,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the reason she left politics is all the polling show
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: she couldn't win, She would not win reelection, so it
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: looks better just to resign, drop out, so you're not
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: going to run again. And you know, sixty Minutes would
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: never put a woman like that on the air, crazy
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theory, nutty. They would never put her on sixty minutes. Ever,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: unless she starts attacking Trump. Then all of a sudden,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: she's the big interview last night, the big superstar interview
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: of sixty Minutes. She's the main feature, an interview with
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green. She's attacking Trump. They love her, they
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: put her on the ear. She did have one great
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: moment though, where Leslie Stall said to her, you know
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: our awful toxic politics, all the crazy partisan She said,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you She looked at Marjorie Taylor Green. You know, you
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: were a big part of the toxic politics. And good
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: for Marjorie Taylor Green. She is and you weren't. She said, Leslie,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: you were as toxic as anybody politically, which is true.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, Leslie Stall got caught in more lying fake news.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Remember the famous Trump interview where he talked about the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: surveillance on his campaign and Leslie Stall said there's no
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: truth to that. Well, of course it turned out to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: be absolutely true, and she looked ridiculous. But President Trump
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: went on truth social last night, really went after sixty minutes,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Paramount attacking them like crazy. He really unleashed on them.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: He said, under Paramont's sixty minutes even got worse. It's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: actually even worse now than before. Well, give them time
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to cleaning house there. It's going to take a while.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be done very slowly. They're going to get
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: rid of people one by one. Leslie Stall will be gone.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Gail King has already gone. I mean she's still on,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: but she's leaving. All these people will be leaving. They'll
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: slowly clean up this mess. It's going to take a while.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Now Paramount is in the good graces of the Trump administration.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: They don't want to lose that because they still want
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to get Warner Brothers Discovery. Looks like Netflix won the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: bidding war to take over Warner Brothers, which includes a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff. It includes HBO, it includes all kinds.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons people want this company is the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Warner Brothers Studio is actually the biggest movie studio in Hollywood,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and it's a very important major production facility. And if
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: your Netflix making a lot of movies and TV shows
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff, so you could use
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: that big studio. Also, you could use HBO, HBO Max,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: all that stuff as a platform. There's a lot of
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: other stuff. CNN means absolutely nothing in this It doesn't
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: make much money, it doesn't have any viewers. It's a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: little tiny nothing thing in there. In fact, if they
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: could get rid of that and the deal, they would
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Netflix doesn't want it. But part of the deal Warner
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Brothers Discovery, if you buy the company, you got to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: take CNN off our hands too. We don't want it either.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: So although somebody buying this could maybe use it for something,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you get rid of all the CNN stuff, and it's
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: still a cable network that's on all the cable systems,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: but even that's not of much value nowadays. So Netflix
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: has won the bidding ward. Now they may still not
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: get it. They may not get the deal because the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Trump administration would have to approve all this and they
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: could block it. There's all sorts of reasons to block
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the Netflix deal. I mean good business reasons. It's too
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: much of a monopoly and it would create too big
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: of one streaming service, so it could be held up.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And that means Paramount, who was the second place bidder,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: could just raise their numbers a little and get it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So they're still in the running. But if Trump's mad
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: at them over sixty minutes, that's not going to help.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: The price now is like thirty dollars a year. This
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: will go to thirty five dollars a year because you
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: can spin off a lot of these cable assets and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: probably get another three four dollars a year. So don't
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: be so sure Netflix gets it, and don't be so
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: sure the price doesn't go up in the in the end. Hey,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the New York Jets, there are a lot of Jets
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: fans out there, die hard Jets fans, been going on
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: their whole life. They love the Jets. You could try
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to reason with them. It's like people with Trump arrangement syndrome.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: You can't reason with them. You know, it's the same
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: thing with the Mets. Mets fans, but every so often,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the Mets get pretty good every so often. The Mets
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: are in the playoffs in the World Series every so often.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But with the Jets, nothing good ever happens. If you're
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: going to be a Jets fan, you're just asking for
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: heartbreak and heartache. And so they just got eliminated from
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the playoffs yesterday, eliminated from a playoffs every year for
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: fifteen years.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: If you look back at the history of the Jets,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you got Joe Namath, You've got great Jets teams, you
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: got some great So what's the problem. It's one guy.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: It's Woody Johnson, who's a very nice guy. He's a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: friend of mine. I like the guy, but he's the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: worst owner in the history of sports. He is a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: great guy in real life. He's a generous guy. He's
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: done a lot of public service. He's a good guy.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Woody Johnson, he has no business owning a football team.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: He's not just a bad owner. Everybody agrees. I'm not
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: an expert. But you talk to all the greatest football
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: expert sports experts, they all agree he's the single worst
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: owner in the history of sports. This is the worst
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: franchise in the history of sports. There are people in
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the professional sports football world saying that they should come
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: up with something in the NFL world where an owner
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: can be eliminated if he's that bad. In other words,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you know they're very careful who they give the team to.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: To become an NFL owner is like the ultimate club
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: of the world to be accepted there. But there should
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: be some mechanism if a guy turns out to be
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the worst owner on earth and it's hopeless, total disaster,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that the NFL can make him sell the team. There
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: should be something like that for a case like this.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: This guy is so unbeloe believably horrendously bad as an owner. Now,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: he bought the team for this is years ago for
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: about six hundred million. It's now worth I think it's
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: eight billion, but some are saying it's worth ten billion.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: So if he's forced to sell, he would make like
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a nine and a half million a billion nine and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a half billion dollar profit. So I mean, if you
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: forced him to sell it. It's a great thing for
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: him too. I mean you should be very happy. What's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the point of owning a team. Well, some people have
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: just really loved football in sports and they want to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: they're really into it. Now this guy's that came. I
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: think it's more of a social thing. To be an
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: NFL team owner is quite an honor. It's the highest
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: honor there is for a billionaire. But also it's a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: great thing. Every Sunday, you host everybody in your big,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: huge suite, You invite fifty one hundred friends. It's quite
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a thing. So now you might be saying, well, wait
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a minute, maybe he really is a great, great lover
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: of football. I don't think so. I mean, if he
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: was that into football, he'd know what he was doing.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, nobody is worse at running, so it's pretty
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: obvious he doesn't know anything about football. And he spent money.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: He goes out and gets these great players, sometimes Aaron
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Rodgers and others. But you'll notice whenever they get a
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: great player and bring them in, they ruin the guy.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I don't care how good a quarterback you are, you
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: are ruined when you come to the Jets. It's the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: worst team in the history of sports. Just for the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: good of New York, for the good of football. He's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: got to sell the team. You gotta sell. I know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it's maybe make some kind of deal. You can still
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: have the luxury suite every week and invite all your
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: friends or something, but you gotta sell the team. It
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: would be the only decent thing to do for Jets fans.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Put them out of there. Anyway, he's speaking of sports.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Don Mattingly did not make the Hall of Fame again
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: this year. That's like seven years in a row. He
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't get voted in or the Hall of Fame. That's
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: not right. So, mom, Donnie, his new plan now is
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: no more sweeps. Homeless sweeps. You know, under Eric Adams,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: especially in the last year, you'll notice you don't see
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of homeless peeple all. You'll see one here
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: and there, but you don't see homeless camps. You don't
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: see any of that. They've been cleaning it up. It's
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a great, great plan, mom, Donnie is going to eliminate that.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: He's going to allow the homeless encampments. Being a crazy
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: left wing socialist.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: The issue with the encampment sweeps is that they are
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: simply pushing New Yorkers who are living in the cold
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: to another place where they will live in the cold.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: In three hundred and sixty five days of twenty twenty four,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: this administration did not connect a single New Yorker affected
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: by these sweeps with permanent housing. That is a failure.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that could be, but of course that's not.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: There's two problems. One, you want to do something about
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the homeless, get them some place to live. But the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: other problem is you want to protect the area where
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the camp is. If it's a Union Square or if
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it's a wherever it is, if it's thirty fourth and fifth,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: you don't want a homeless camp, but you want to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: protect the neighborhood, the block, the buildings. You get rid
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of the homeless encampment. You've got to get rid of it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Otherwise you ruin the neighborhood. You do tremendous damage to businesses, apartments,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: economic damage. It creates chaos. It's pretty obvious. And he
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: says that the homeless were never connected to permanent house.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Well that doesn't you know, just get them off the street,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: find them someplace. It doesn't have to be permanent. You
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: can work on that later.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: If you are not connecting homeless New Yorkers to the
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: housing that they so desperately need, then you cannot deem
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: anything you're doing to be a success. We are going
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: to take an approach that understands its mission is connecting
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: those New Yorkers to housing, whether it's supportive housing, whether
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: it's rental housing, whatever kind of housing it is.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Well, see, no, not really. Job number one is clean
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: up the street, clean up the chaos. That was part
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: of the plan. At some point you could find them
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: permanent housing. You know, you could say, well what about
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the shelters. First of all, clean up the shelters. You know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: remember Deblasio would inspect the shelter and he'd say, well,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: people can't go here. It's got rodents, it's got crime. Well,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: as Juliani showed, you can fix that. You come in
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the next day with an army of exterminators, get rid
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of the rodents, You come in with a bunch of security,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and get rid of the You can do that. Now
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: they find. The other thing is the homeless will not
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: go into the shelters. They won't stay in the shelters.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Why because you're not allowed to use drugs. You're not
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: allowed to drink in there. Now, most of the homeless,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: they're vast majority. It's not about economics, it's about addiction.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: They're addicts drugs, alcohol, crack whatever. That's why they're out there. So,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: but Adams is pretty good with his sweep the streets.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: If he's stating he's no longer going to implement a
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: smart policy on our part, New Yorkers are about to see
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: the repercussions of that.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now again, why Democrats are incapable of learning anything.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: They've done this in other cities where they don't do
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the homelessweeps, they leave the encampments. About twenty other cities
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: have tried this every single time. It's absolute disaster. So
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you've tested it twenty times. It's a total disaster. How
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: could you not learn anything from the tests? But that's
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Democrats left wing. They don't learn. You know, even germs learn.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Germs actually, you know, they learn. They changed. They you know,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you get a virus that mutates, they know how to
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: mutate change. Democrats forget it. They can't do it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: We stated it was inhumane for people to live on
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: the streets, human waste, drug path finalia, a schizophrenic bipolar
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: living on our subways, living in our streets, we say no,
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: you deserve to be inside with care. Now, if he's
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: stating he's no longer going to implement a smart policy
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: on our pad, New Yorkers are going to see the
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: repercussions of that.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can't tell Mam Donnie anything. It's impossible.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: But Adams has actually done a good job. Now, Randy Mastro,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: he's the deputy first deputy mayor, which means he really
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: runs everything. He runs city, all top guy, Randy Mastro.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: He was first deputy mayor under Rudy Giuliani. So he's
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: That's one reason you saw everything change a year ago
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: when Randy Mastro came in. That's how everything got better
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and better and better. But he's put in his resident
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: resignation for New Year's Eve. He leaves because the next day,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: New Year's Day, Mam Donnie takes over the next day.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: How bad will it get? I don't know. You know
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: one thing about Mom Donnie. Like a lot of these guys,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and I remember, he's very, very very Deblasio. Like Deblasio.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: You don't remember this, but he ran as a socialist.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: He ran with all the same crazy, kooky socialism, left
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: wing stuff. But as soon as he got elected, he
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: started cozying up to every billionaire in the city. Deblasio's
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: campaign was anti billionaire about it. Remember it was about
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: there's two New York's, one for the zillionaires, one for
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: everybody else. We got to go after these billionaires. And
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: as soon as he got elected, Deblasio did go after
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the billionaires, but in a different way. It's all in
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: my own eyes. Anytime he saw one of these billionaires,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: he'd go right up to them, Hey, how are you
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you have my cell number? No, let me give you
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: my cell number. They knew what that meant. They meant
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it means you can call him anytime you need anything.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: He'll take care of you. And they know what it means.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: It means also, a guy's going to call you every
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks and want some money donation. That's normal.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: The bzillionaire will get a call. Can you do fifty? Yeah,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I can do fifty. It means fifty thousand, All right,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: We'll tell you where to send it, and they'd give
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: you the name of a pack they want you to
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: donate it too. And every couple of months you do
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that and then whatever you needed, something you could call. Well,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie has already started down this road. Now he
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: claims it's for his transition team, but he went around
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie and company, coosing up to all the billionaires.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: He wanted to raise some money for the transition team.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: And believe it or not, in the last couple of
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: weeks he raised four million from these billionaires. He's been
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: all over them and he's continued to do it there.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: He's been doing these private fundraisers with billionaires. There was
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: one in Michael I can't pronounce this guy's name, billionaire
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: ceo crypto guy held a fundraiser and his village home.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: The next day, Mom Donnie was in a private tribee
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: to a Tribeca home where the Hunt oil eras Lee
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Hunt Hendricks, hosted another big fundraiser for him. Two uptown events,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: one Lower east Side. These are all zillionaires, billionaires, thousand
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: dollars a ticket, millions raised from these donors. Now, what
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: does the transition team need so much money for? Well,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: as they said, most of the funds will go toward
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: office operations, which is fine, but that's more like forty
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: thousand to operate the office. You don't need four million
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to do that, you really don't. So they were raising
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: millions and millions. That's a good sign. That's a good sign.
• 16:44
