Hour 2: The Ballroom project is on hold for now. · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: You know what's why he tells you why Mark Simone,
0:04
Speaker 1: he's on seven tenor.
0:09
Speaker 2: Hey, well, hey, tonight is the moon launch and they're
0:12
Speaker 2: going to orbit the moon. There there's gonna be a
0:14
Speaker 2: ten day mission. But the Artemis rocket it's huge. It's
0:18
Speaker 2: like thirty stories high, because rocket we've ever launched in
0:22
Speaker 2: this capsule will orbit the Moon and come back. It's
0:26
Speaker 2: the first mission, and then there'll be a bunch of
0:29
Speaker 2: them and eventually we'll land on the Moon. But they
0:31
Speaker 2: launched tonight at six o'clock. Six o'clock tonight, actually about
0:36
Speaker 2: six twenty. You can watch it. I don't know where
0:38
Speaker 2: you're gonna watch it. If it was the good old
0:40
Speaker 2: days many years ago, Mercury, Gemini Apollo program, they'd preempt
0:45
Speaker 2: everything and we'd all watched the launch of the rocket.
0:48
Speaker 2: And now you I don't know. You might see it.
0:51
Speaker 2: You might see it for ten seconds on the evening news,
0:54
Speaker 2: but that'll be about it. Hey, Bruce Blakeman should be
0:58
Speaker 2: the next governor of New York. He'd be perfect for it.
1:03
Speaker 2: He's the county executive Nassau County. That's kind of a
1:06
Speaker 2: same job as being a governor. You're a county governor
1:10
Speaker 2: and he's done a phenomenal job, best county executive in America,
1:13
Speaker 2: so he's gonna run. He's a very popular guy, especially
1:17
Speaker 2: Long Island. They love him. And that's Nasau County is
1:21
Speaker 2: a lot like New York State far as the demographics.
1:24
Speaker 2: It's more Democratic than Republican. Yet he was able to
1:26
Speaker 2: win twice there. So he's a top, top, top candidate
1:30
Speaker 2: with an excellent shot, and he should easily get the
1:35
Speaker 2: you know, the matching funds. You have to go before
1:37
Speaker 2: the campaign finance board to get your matching funds. Everybody
1:42
Speaker 2: gets matching funds when you run, So he went before
1:50
Speaker 2: the campaign finance board. It's a pretty simple procedure. However,
1:55
Speaker 2: the problem is Democrats have corrupted the campaign final board
2:00
Speaker 2: for New York State. And the way they did that
2:02
Speaker 2: was the people that vote. They made sure it was
2:04
Speaker 2: many more Democrats than Republicans. It's majority Democrats do the voting.
2:11
Speaker 2: And if they really wanted to, they could corrupt the
2:15
Speaker 2: whole process by not giving campaign financing to any challengers.
2:19
Speaker 2: That way, the incumbent, like a Hocal, easily stays in
2:23
Speaker 2: office no matching funds for the opponent. Well, they just
2:26
Speaker 2: did that with Bruce Blakeman. Now the claiming there was
2:29
Speaker 2: some minor paperwork error in some of his paperwork, well
2:34
Speaker 2: that would take thirty seconds to correct. That's no big deal.
2:37
Speaker 2: And if that were true, it's happened a million times.
2:39
Speaker 2: Nobody's ever been denied funds over that. So here's a
2:44
Speaker 2: lot of editorials about how disgusting this corruption is. The
2:47
Speaker 2: whole idea of the Campaign Finance Board is to level
2:50
Speaker 2: the playing field. That way, governor, you know, if you're
2:53
Speaker 2: the sitting governor, if you're a Kathy Hochel, even if
2:55
Speaker 2: you stink, you can raise a fortune from all the
2:59
Speaker 2: top businesses and billionaires because they need you. They need
3:02
Speaker 2: you to get things done, permits, regulations, whatever they need
3:06
Speaker 2: for their business. And the way they get that they
3:08
Speaker 2: make huge donations to your campaign. So Kathy Hochel being
3:13
Speaker 2: the sitting governor and all those big special interests need favors,
3:18
Speaker 2: they've donated a lot of money to her campaign. So
3:20
Speaker 2: she's got twenty million to run with big war chas
3:24
Speaker 2: twenty million. So the idea of the campaign finance is
3:28
Speaker 2: the challenger, you level the playing field, make you give
3:31
Speaker 2: him matching funds. So he's got some money to run.
3:35
Speaker 2: But again they've corrupted the campaign finance board, so they've
3:38
Speaker 2: denied Blakeman his funds. Now he's got to take this
3:41
Speaker 2: to court because this is totally rigging the system and
3:45
Speaker 2: he should easily win this. There was no reason to deny,
3:51
Speaker 2: deny anything. Even if they're claiming there was a little
3:53
Speaker 2: error and some paperwork, that's absolutely nothing. You know, you
3:56
Speaker 2: go to motor vehicles to get your registration and your
3:58
Speaker 2: driver's license. They so you forgot you put the wrong
4:01
Speaker 2: thing on this box right here. They don't say that's it,
4:06
Speaker 2: no driver's license fee. No, they say go correct that
4:08
Speaker 2: and come back. It's always done that way. So this
4:11
Speaker 2: is total corruption. They're trying to stop Blakeman and one
4:15
Speaker 2: of the reasons they were probably told to do this.
4:18
Speaker 2: Blakeman was like twenty points behind. That was a few
4:21
Speaker 2: weeks ago, and then the last week or two he
4:23
Speaker 2: caught up and now he's only ten points behind and climbing.
4:27
Speaker 2: So that's one reason they were probably told deny him
4:30
Speaker 2: the funds. Now, this is just a total corrupt act.
4:34
Speaker 2: It's going to backfire and gonna help Blakeman because they'll
4:37
Speaker 2: take this to a higher court. He'll appeal. This is
4:39
Speaker 2: people start to hear this, it really turns you off
4:42
Speaker 2: to the Democrats running New York. This is the problem
4:44
Speaker 2: when you have a one party rule the whole state.
4:47
Speaker 2: This kind of crap happens when one party controls city Hall,
4:51
Speaker 2: controls the city Council controls, the state controls the Assembly
4:56
Speaker 2: controls the state Senate, to control everything, and they can
4:58
Speaker 2: get away with this crap. You know, President Trump, remember
5:02
Speaker 2: those couple of convictions, the Alvin Bragg one and the
5:04
Speaker 2: other one. They're totally ridiculous charges. Every real legal scholar
5:09
Speaker 2: will tell you there was no crime at all. What
5:11
Speaker 2: they're charging with could never stand up on an appeal,
5:14
Speaker 2: be tossed out immediately. But because Democrats control the state,
5:18
Speaker 2: they've delayed his appeal. Normally, after those convictions within six
5:23
Speaker 2: months you'd get into an appellate court. They've delayed it.
5:26
Speaker 2: They control the whole court system. He can't get the appeal.
5:29
Speaker 2: They're holding it up for years because once it goes
5:31
Speaker 2: to appeal, all the charges against them get tossed out,
5:34
Speaker 2: so they're holding it up. That's the problem when you
5:36
Speaker 2: got one party ruling everything. It's happened in California. It
5:40
Speaker 2: happened here. It's not good. Speaking of not good, okay,
5:45
Speaker 2: Christy Nome, Department of Homeland Security, gets fired, gets removed
5:50
Speaker 2: because of a lot of reasons. She's making a mess
5:53
Speaker 2: out of Minnesota. She's shooting her mouth off, she's escalated
5:58
Speaker 2: that situation into something absolutely inflammatory and ridiculous. Dan it
6:03
Speaker 2: turns out she's handing out contracts in a ridiculous manner,
6:06
Speaker 2: in a reckless manner. Then it turns out she's going
6:09
Speaker 2: to spend two hundred million on advertising. Okay, if it's
6:14
Speaker 2: going to help the situation at the border, if it's
6:16
Speaker 2: going to help something with immigration. But it turns out
6:19
Speaker 2: the whole two hundred million in advertising is promoting her.
6:21
Speaker 2: It's commercials about her, it's her riding a horse, her
6:25
Speaker 2: doing this, it's really her getting herself in a position
6:29
Speaker 2: to run in twenty twenty eight. And then they look
6:31
Speaker 2: at the contracts. They're just overpaying for everything. And then
6:35
Speaker 2: she's sleeping with the boyfriend. She's married and he's married,
6:38
Speaker 2: but they're having some kind of affair. And then she
6:41
Speaker 2: spent seventy million on a private business jet, a Boeing
6:45
Speaker 2: seven fifty seven business jet. Well, it's the transport the immigrants.
6:50
Speaker 2: They're looking at it. It's got a bedroom, it's a
6:52
Speaker 2: luxurious interior. It's obviously for her and the boyfriend to
6:55
Speaker 2: fly around. So she's fired. And then people say, well,
7:00
Speaker 2: sleeping with Corey Lewandowski. What about the husband. Well, now
7:03
Speaker 2: all this comes out about the husband. The husband is
7:06
Speaker 2: a cross dressing.
7:08
Speaker 3: Uh.
7:10
Speaker 2: Well, it's one thing to dress like a woman, it's
7:11
Speaker 2: another to dress like I don't know what he's dressing like.
7:14
Speaker 2: Apparently this is some sort of fetish that I never
7:17
Speaker 2: heard of. The fetish is bimbo fication. It's not just
7:21
Speaker 2: you dressed like a woman, you dress like the trashiest
7:24
Speaker 2: woman ever. So he's got he's this is the husband.
7:28
Speaker 2: He's wearing hot pants, a tight T shirt with big,
7:32
Speaker 2: huge balloons under it to look like massive breasts. And
7:37
Speaker 2: again I never heard of this fetish. I don't know
7:40
Speaker 2: what the hell of this. I've never seen this anywhere,
7:43
Speaker 2: but this is her husband. She put out a statement
7:47
Speaker 2: saying she's devastated and that the whole family was blindsided
7:51
Speaker 2: by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at
7:55
Speaker 2: this time. Now, could you be blindsided? Could you not know?
7:59
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're married to someone you're living together
8:01
Speaker 2: when you notice the guy has like twenty pairs of
8:03
Speaker 2: hotpants in the drawer, And wouldn't you say it somebody,
8:06
Speaker 2: what are all these balloons for? I guess he could
8:09
Speaker 2: keep that somewhere else. But now, what does this do?
8:14
Speaker 2: Does this really screw her up once and for all
8:17
Speaker 2: running for president? Well some arguement, maybe it helps her
8:19
Speaker 2: a little because she had the problem with having the affair,
8:23
Speaker 2: but this now would explain why she had the fair
8:26
Speaker 2: there wasn't a normal marriage, And also it might get
8:30
Speaker 2: some sympathy for her. But if you look at the
8:32
Speaker 2: pictures of the husband dressed up like that, I don't
8:39
Speaker 2: think it helps her. I don't think it helps her now.
8:42
Speaker 2: The other thing is she's the head of the Department
8:45
Speaker 2: of Homeland Security, and with a husband doing this crazy stuff,
8:49
Speaker 2: she could have been subject to blackmail. It'd be pretty
8:52
Speaker 2: easy for some Chinese spies or Russian spies or Iranian
8:58
Speaker 2: spies to find this stuff and blackmail her. But then,
9:02
Speaker 2: you know, to be head of the Apartment of Homeland Security,
9:06
Speaker 2: you go through a background check and you people say, well, well,
9:08
Speaker 2: why didn't the background check spot it? Well, you know,
9:11
Speaker 2: background checks aren't what you think. They're not that thorough.
9:15
Speaker 2: I mean, you fill out forms, you have to answer
9:18
Speaker 2: a million questions, and then a real background check. They
9:21
Speaker 2: will send the FBI around to interview your neighbors and
9:27
Speaker 2: your friends and see what they say. And apparently all
9:29
Speaker 2: the neighbors and friends said, great thing. That's the background check.
9:33
Speaker 2: That's it. I mean, you know, I guess a real
9:35
Speaker 2: background check. They should get full access to your computers,
9:39
Speaker 2: to everything, and get to see everything you've met. That's
9:42
Speaker 2: that's tough. Now here's the media now showing up in
9:45
Speaker 2: South Dakota talking to all the neighbors, and all the
9:48
Speaker 2: neighbors say they had no idea. He seemed like such
9:50
Speaker 2: a normal, straight laced guy and they can't believe it.
9:54
Speaker 2: They think the pictures must have been AI. Now apparently
9:57
Speaker 2: apparently they're real. Wasn't AI. So we'll see the ballroom. Now,
10:05
Speaker 2: President Trump decides to build a ballroom. Now, presidents have
10:11
Speaker 2: talked about it for decades and decades. There's no ballroom
10:16
Speaker 2: in the White House. There's the East Room that's the
10:19
Speaker 2: largest room, but you can really only get about one
10:21
Speaker 2: hundred people in there. And there's a lot of big
10:24
Speaker 2: events that are done at the White House, important dinners
10:28
Speaker 2: for foreign leaders, important events where you need four hundred
10:31
Speaker 2: people or five hundred. And what they do is they
10:34
Speaker 2: put a tent out on the lawn, which is ridiculous.
10:38
Speaker 2: A big tent out on the lawn. You know, it's
10:41
Speaker 2: like you're at a wedding in Great Neck or something
10:44
Speaker 2: at somebody's backyard. It's you know, they're on the grass.
10:48
Speaker 2: The world leaders can't believe when they come to the
10:51
Speaker 2: big event at the White House, they got to go
10:52
Speaker 2: out in a tent. And you know, when it's out
10:55
Speaker 2: in a tent on the lawn, that means you got
10:58
Speaker 2: to use porta potties. So here's people in tuxedos at
11:02
Speaker 2: a big event that the White ho was using the
11:03
Speaker 2: porta party And again it's ridiculous. And of course a
11:06
Speaker 2: lot of times you're going to do this out in
11:08
Speaker 2: the lawn and it rains and it's muddy. It's just
11:11
Speaker 2: ridiculous to not have a major ballroom. The problem is,
11:14
Speaker 2: how do you get a ballroom built. That's pretty tough,
11:16
Speaker 2: you know, to build a whole ballroom at the White House. Well,
11:20
Speaker 2: it turns out you now have a president who is
11:23
Speaker 2: the greatest expert in America at building ballrooms. He does
11:27
Speaker 2: it all the time, and all the ballrooms he builds
11:30
Speaker 2: are spectacular in all of his hotels. Mar A Lago's
11:33
Speaker 2: a good example. He's a the world expert and how
11:36
Speaker 2: to build a ballroom, and he decides, I'll build it,
11:39
Speaker 2: I'll raise the money. Also, remember if the government tried
11:42
Speaker 2: to build a ballroom. First of all, they don't know
11:45
Speaker 2: how to do it, and it won't look good if
11:47
Speaker 2: they design it. But if the government tried to do
11:49
Speaker 2: a ballroom, it would take ten years and it would
11:52
Speaker 2: cost four billion dollars. If Trump does it, it'll take
11:57
Speaker 2: five months and costs two hundred million, because he knows
12:01
Speaker 2: how to do it, and he's got all the architects, contractors, everything.
12:04
Speaker 2: So naturally, even though it's a great idea, everybody's always
12:08
Speaker 2: agreed we need this. Because it's Trump, they have to
12:11
Speaker 2: oppose it. So, because it's Trump Trump derangement syndrome, they
12:14
Speaker 2: got to go nuts and oppose it. So they've been
12:17
Speaker 2: taking it to every court everywhere. Well, they got a
12:19
Speaker 2: judge yesterday, a left wing judge, to halt the ballroom,
12:24
Speaker 2: Judge Richard Leon. And look at the picture of this
12:26
Speaker 2: guy's a real left wing PBS Atlantic Magazine Morning joke.
12:31
Speaker 2: Look at him, he's got a bow eye on and
12:35
Speaker 2: he must be it must be stop. The President does
12:39
Speaker 2: not own the White House. He's merely the Stewart. Congress
12:42
Speaker 2: must approve it, and that's it. The President spoke about
12:46
Speaker 2: the ballroom.
12:47
Speaker 4: Four hundred and fifty years they've wanted a ballroom here.
12:50
Speaker 4: We're going to have the finest for him, I believe,
12:51
Speaker 4: anywhere in the world. And he said, we need congressional approval. Well,
12:56
Speaker 4: they don't get congressional approval, though it has when they
12:58
Speaker 4: do things they don't. Actually, when you know, we didn't
13:01
Speaker 4: ask for any tax plenty, we have no taxes. Is
13:04
Speaker 4: tax payer free, We have no taxpayer putting up ten.
13:07
Speaker 2: Cents, So obviously you need it. I mean, it's a
13:10
Speaker 2: no brainer. Now. The only thing is, I'm looking at
13:15
Speaker 2: the pictures of the whole completed project. It looks too big,
13:18
Speaker 2: doesn't it. It's bigger than the White House. So you're
13:20
Speaker 2: at the White House and the west wing this way,
13:22
Speaker 2: and the east wing goes this way, and at the
13:24
Speaker 2: end of the east wing it's a structure almost bigger
13:27
Speaker 2: than the White House. So it's kind of a weird look,
13:29
Speaker 2: but hey, he's the expert. And it was originally going
13:32
Speaker 2: to hold eight hundred. Well then it became twelve hundred.
13:36
Speaker 2: It just got bigger and bigger. But now here's the
13:38
Speaker 2: other problem. He decided, as long as he's building this
13:41
Speaker 2: thing underneath, he's got a lot of space underneath this
13:43
Speaker 2: ballroom to make it very important. Put in security stuff, bunkers,
13:48
Speaker 2: command center, hospital, there's all sorts of stuff there. So
13:52
Speaker 2: the crazy left wing judge's decision holds that up too.
13:58
Speaker 2: So we'll see where this goes. This has got to
14:00
Speaker 2: be appealed, and they will appeal it. Hey, at the
14:03
Speaker 2: same time as a federal judge, another left wing kook
14:07
Speaker 2: who blocked Trump from cutting the funding for NPR and PBS,
14:13
Speaker 2: saying that it's a First Amendment. They have a right
14:15
Speaker 2: to freedom of speech. You can't cut their funding to
14:18
Speaker 2: suppress expression you don't like. Well, it's not a case
14:21
Speaker 2: of that, it's a case of and PBS and NPR.
14:25
Speaker 2: And I say this as someone who worked at PBS
14:27
Speaker 2: for many, many, many years. They shouldn't have gotten into
14:30
Speaker 2: the business of partisan news, activist newscast. It's fine if
14:35
Speaker 2: they wanted there's no reason they even then do news.
14:37
Speaker 2: The idea of PBS was to give you a programming
14:40
Speaker 2: you couldn't get anywhere else. Well, there are plenty of newscasts.
14:44
Speaker 2: There's in fact, three or four or five full time,
14:47
Speaker 2: twenty four hour news channels. You don't need them to
14:50
Speaker 2: do any news. And if they want to do news, fine,
14:53
Speaker 2: But they started doing the most slanted left wing partisan news.
14:57
Speaker 2: So that's a good reason to cut the funding. Except now,
15:00
Speaker 2: what does this mean that the judge says you can't
15:01
Speaker 2: cut the funding. Well, not much because most of the
15:06
Speaker 2: damage has been done to public broadcasting. They cut, you know,
15:09
Speaker 2: all the programs, they shut down the Corporation for Public
15:12
Speaker 2: broadct they already shut everything down. So I don't know
15:15
Speaker 2: what it means. But again, this will all get appealed
15:18
Speaker 2: and we'll see what happens. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
15:20
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the
15:24
Speaker 2: number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten to
15:29
Speaker 2: Mark simone on, Hey, let's take some calls. That's eight
15:35
Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number
15:39
Speaker 2: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Let's go
15:42
Speaker 2: to Chuck in Staten Island. Schuck, how you doing?
15:45
Speaker 3: Oh?
15:46
Speaker 5: Pretty good, Mark. They're arguing about the Fourteenth Amendment. But
15:50
Speaker 5: in eighteen sixty six, the Civil Rights Act that was
15:53
Speaker 5: passed said clearly that foreign parents of children born in America,
16:00
Speaker 5: we're not American citizens. And if that wasn't enough, the
16:04
Speaker 5: McCarn Wolter Act of nineteen fifty two said the same thing.
16:08
Speaker 2: You've been watching too many Perry Mason episodes. You've been
16:10
Speaker 2: watching a lot. Well, according to the McCarn this was act.
16:16
Speaker 2: The hearings are on now you can follow it. None
16:17
Speaker 2: they'll explain to you the plan. I know, but we're
16:20
Speaker 2: not experts on this. And let's I am oh excuse me. Oh,
16:24
Speaker 2: that's it. It's official. Word has come down from Chuck
16:27
Speaker 2: and Staten Island. That's it. Tell us Supreme Court that
16:31
Speaker 2: can adjourn. It is settled. Let's go to Charles in
16:34
Speaker 2: the Miller place. Charles, how you doing? Yes?
16:38
Speaker 6: Hi? I had a question regarding Bruce Blakeman. Yeah, so
16:41
Speaker 6: what I had heard that that he had he had
16:44
Speaker 6: applied for the matching funds and then they had.
16:48
Speaker 2: Changed the rules.
16:49
Speaker 6: Is that the case?
16:50
Speaker 2: Well, uh, no, that I don't know, but they have
16:55
Speaker 2: just totally corrupted that board. It's supposed to be fifty
16:57
Speaker 2: to fifty Republicans and Democrats making the decisions. They've made
17:00
Speaker 2: sure it's majority Democrats. And Hochel is in panic because
17:06
Speaker 2: Blakeman is making big progress in the recent polls and
17:09
Speaker 2: they got to stop them. So they're trying to deny
17:11
Speaker 2: him as matching funds. He'll appeal this and hopefully win,
17:15
Speaker 2: but they also got to force them to uncorrupt the
17:20
Speaker 2: campaign finance board. Make it a mixture, an equal mixture
17:23
Speaker 2: of Republicans and Democrats from now, and that's that was
17:26
Speaker 2: the original idea of it. Let's go to Joe and
17:29
Speaker 2: Staten Island. Joe, how you doing good? Mark, how's to
17:33
Speaker 2: going good? Question?
17:34
Speaker 7: If very next net export is of oil right now,
17:38
Speaker 7: why can't Trump get all the oil executives in the
17:40
Speaker 7: country together and basically say, for the next three months,
17:43
Speaker 7: we're going to nationalize the industry, we're going to keep
17:45
Speaker 7: our royal in the country, and we're going to set
17:47
Speaker 7: a fixed price of forty dollars a battle for the
17:49
Speaker 7: next three months.
17:50
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen these guys that run the oil companies?
17:55
Speaker 2: Not really, it's a bunch of Jr. Ewings and who's
18:00
Speaker 2: the guy on land man, Kevin Costner.
18:03
Speaker 7: Yeah, Trump have the authority to nationalize it.
18:06
Speaker 2: You could, but you don't do that. I think the
18:08
Speaker 2: last time that was done John F. Kennedy and the
18:10
Speaker 2: steel crisis in nineteen sixty two. Remember he nationalized the steel.
18:15
Speaker 2: But it's not at the crisis point where you could
18:18
Speaker 2: do that. But the problem is again it happened in
18:23
Speaker 2: the last few weeks, American oil companies raising their price
18:26
Speaker 2: for no reason. It'll all be settled, you'll see tonight
18:30
Speaker 2: they'll announce two more weeks, two and a half more
18:32
Speaker 2: weeks of the war. It'll be over in three weeks,
18:35
Speaker 2: four weeks. Prices they did spike up, but they will
18:39
Speaker 2: not only come back down, they'll probably plunge, plunge after
18:44
Speaker 2: the war, and that upsets the oil industry more. They
18:49
Speaker 2: don't like the plarxist to plunge. Let's go to Elvis
18:52
Speaker 2: in Bridgeport. Is that your name, Elvis, Yes, sir, you
18:57
Speaker 2: would think you would think more people would use that name,
19:01
Speaker 2: Elvis Presley, Elvis Duran. But why aren't there more Elvis is?
19:06
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know why I'm gonna.
19:09
Speaker 1: I'm probably the only Italian with that name.
19:12
Speaker 2: You're named after Elvis Presley.
19:16
Speaker 1: I have a cousin in Canada that's named after Elvis too,
19:19
Speaker 1: so I guess I'm not the only one.
19:21
Speaker 2: So yeah, your family, you wear those leisure suits with
19:24
Speaker 2: the sparkly things all over them.
19:27
Speaker 1: No, no, no, they're not that. I mean that's a
19:32
Speaker 1: good one.
19:32
Speaker 2: You ever eat those Elvis sandwiches with the bacon and
19:34
Speaker 2: the peanut butter and the bananas.
19:36
Speaker 1: And no, no, no, no, that's too sweet for me.
19:40
Speaker 1: I'm not into the sweet things though.
19:42
Speaker 2: And you live in Bridgeport.
19:44
Speaker 1: The reason, yes, sir.
19:46
Speaker 2: If you call that living, okay, go ahead.
19:49
Speaker 1: The reason I'm calling you and bothering you today is
19:52
Speaker 1: that I don't trust the Republicans in the midterms. It's
19:57
Speaker 1: like they don't they don't fight back enough to the Democrats,
20:01
Speaker 1: and they just buried them all the time on the media,
20:04
Speaker 1: and it's just it's crazy and they're lying and and
20:07
Speaker 1: and it's hypocrisy, and people believe.
20:10
Speaker 2: That you're not wrong. But it's the problem is for Republicans,
20:14
Speaker 2: you know, they do politics. For Democrats, it's like full
20:18
Speaker 2: time business. It's like war to them, not twenty four
20:20
Speaker 2: to seven.
20:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like in their genetics or something.
20:24
Speaker 2: They're just just waiting to get on the media.
20:26
Speaker 1: Just boried Republicans.
20:28
Speaker 2: They sit back. That's Democrats, and it happens. They're like
20:31
Speaker 2: at war full time twenty fourth. You know, for Republicans,
20:33
Speaker 2: they're like country club guys. It's like, you know, they're
20:36
Speaker 2: not they're not as aggressive and all that stuff. But
20:39
Speaker 2: you know, when they say there's no voter fraud, you
20:41
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about voter fraud. You live in Bridgeport.
20:44
Speaker 2: You can attest to the fact.
20:45
Speaker 1: Yeah I got I got a mayor down here. That's
20:48
Speaker 1: not too Yeah, exactly.
20:50
Speaker 2: Yeah. If you if you think there's no voter fraud, ever,
20:52
Speaker 2: go visit Bridgeport, Waterbery. Hartford, Connecticut is famous for famous
20:59
Speaker 2: for voter You remember when Stephan Awski was running against
21:04
Speaker 2: Lamont and at one o'clock the results came in. He
21:06
Speaker 2: won won by three points and his team told me
21:11
Speaker 2: we lost. I said, well, I see it right there
21:13
Speaker 2: in the computer. You won by three. From now you
21:15
Speaker 2: got to win by seven to cover the cheating. They'll
21:17
Speaker 2: take it away in the morning. Remember. Sure enough, the
21:19
Speaker 2: next morning the votes got all the They actually said
21:22
Speaker 2: the ballots got wet. We have to recount them, and
21:25
Speaker 2: sure enough he lost. Let's go to Dennis in Brown
21:28
Speaker 2: Book Boundbrook. Dennis, how you doing, Yeah, good.
21:31
Speaker 3: Morning, Mark. Mark. Everybody is talking about the fact that
21:34
Speaker 3: only two percent of our oil comes from to the
21:37
Speaker 3: hormone straits. And you know, and yet we see the
21:41
Speaker 3: gas going up to four dollars, and you know it
21:44
Speaker 3: hurts us Republicans. You know in terms of the media
21:47
Speaker 3: that it hurts you for two somebody's arm.
21:50
Speaker 2: Because it only hurts you for two weeks. And in
21:52
Speaker 2: a month of gas prices will plunge, There'll be a
21:55
Speaker 2: crash in oil prices, and nobody will remember these couple
21:59
Speaker 2: of weeks, you.
22:00
Speaker 3: Know, because he mentioned this morning. I think I read that.
22:03
Speaker 3: You know, even if he settled something, apparently they're still
22:06
Speaker 3: not going to be opening the home moves straight.
22:07
Speaker 2: So this thing is no no, they'll get it off.
22:09
Speaker 2: It'll be open by May. And again gas price is
22:12
Speaker 2: spiked to four dollars for a couple of weeks. I
22:15
Speaker 2: remember during the Biden administration it spiked the four dollars
22:18
Speaker 2: for four years. But again, this spike that we had
22:21
Speaker 2: for a few weeks will be totally gone and nobody
22:24
Speaker 2: in the summer will remember the spike at all. In fact,
22:27
Speaker 2: you probably once you get all this change in Iran,
22:30
Speaker 2: you'll probably get the biggest plunge you've ever seen in
22:33
Speaker 2: oil prices. As John Carney, who was an expert on
22:36
Speaker 2: this last hour, explained, the oil company is going to
22:39
Speaker 2: be furious. They don't like fifty dollars a barrel. They
22:43
Speaker 2: like one hundred dollars a barrel. They don't like when
22:45
Speaker 2: it's down to fifty a barrel, which it probably will
22:48
Speaker 2: be in a few weeks. Hey, when we come back,
22:51
Speaker 2: we'll talk to Anne Colter. I'll see what she has
22:53
Speaker 2: to say about all this. Oh, remind I got to
22:55
Speaker 2: ask her about Don Lemon. He thinks he can run
22:58
Speaker 2: for president. She'll have plenty of We'll get to that
23:01
Speaker 2: next on seven to ten. Woar the Mark.
23:04
Speaker 8: Simone Show on seventen WR.
23:10
Speaker 2: Well with us right now, the best selling author, the
23:13
Speaker 2: great columnist and coulter. You can follow her on Twitter.

Speaker 2: Great stuff there, even better as Substack. She's got videos
23:20
Speaker 2: and interviews and podcasts and columns. Everything's at substack. It's
23:24
Speaker 2: and culture dot substack dot com and culture. How you doing.
23:31
Speaker 8: Fantastic? How are you, Mark Simone, I'm good.
23:34
Speaker 2: I'm good. Uh. Supreme Court right now debating birthright citizenship.
23:40
Speaker 2: I think I'm on Trump's side on this. I mean,
23:43
Speaker 2: where you are on vacation at the moment your baby's
23:45
Speaker 2: born should not determine the citizenship suit.
23:47
Speaker 6: It.
23:49
Speaker 8: Yes, well, destensibly starting in Adios America, when the entire
23:55
Speaker 8: world was against me on this precise points. I mean
24:01
Speaker 8: the arguments. I mean I missed the beginning of the argument,
24:03
Speaker 8: but yeah, there are legal arguments about the wording. The
24:07
Speaker 8: bigger point is this was in the immediate aftermath of
24:11
Speaker 8: the Civil War, of a bloody civil war, with six
24:14
Speaker 8: hundred thousand corpses lying around the landscape. The reason we
24:19
Speaker 8: were not adding amendments to the Constitution was to ensure that,
24:23
Speaker 8: let's say, one hundred years from now, we have millions
24:26
Speaker 8: of Latin Americans streaming across the border to collect welfare benefits.
24:30
Speaker 8: Got to make sure those people are citizens. Can you
24:33
Speaker 8: imagine if they weren't citizens, if they're kids, they'd dropped,
24:36
Speaker 8: They've got to be citizens. It was never a problem because, well,
24:40
Speaker 8: for one thing, we didn't have a gigantic welfare state,
24:44
Speaker 8: and you could have a Lais a fair immigration policy
24:47
Speaker 8: in colonial times. As I pointed out many times, about
24:51
Speaker 8: half of the immigrants who used to come to America
24:54
Speaker 8: from about sixteen forty until the beginning of the welfare
24:58
Speaker 8: state nineteen sixty went home because they couldn't make it
25:04
Speaker 8: in America. So you didn't need rules about who's a
25:09
Speaker 8: citizen who's going to start collecting snap benefits. Yeah, you
25:14
Speaker 8: could be laisse fair. Well, now we're a big welfare state.
25:17
Speaker 8: But the amendment in question was absolutely, one hundred percent,
25:21
Speaker 8: exclusively about freed slaves. There are about a dozen Supreme
25:26
Speaker 8: Court cases stating that exact point. No one can fail
25:30
Speaker 8: to miss that. These are called the Civil Rights or
25:33
Speaker 8: the post Civil War Amendments, because again it was right
25:38
Speaker 8: after the Civil War. What they wanted to ensure black
25:42
Speaker 8: citizens who had been They don't like to in the Constitution.
25:46
Speaker 8: They very much avoid referring to race. There are a
25:51
Speaker 8: few references to I don't know, previously enslaved or something.
25:54
Speaker 8: But here I said it was about black citizens who
25:58
Speaker 8: had been slaves. They are living in states, they've been
26:02
Speaker 8: in the states for for hundreds of years, their kids
26:05
Speaker 8: were born here, they were born here, they are citizens.
26:09
Speaker 8: It was all about free slaves, and it's utter nonsense.
26:12
Speaker 8: I mean, it shows once again the Democrats just use
26:15
Speaker 8: black people as a false flag to advance their socialist agenda.
26:18
Speaker 8: But when it comes to should we be legalizing multiple
26:23
Speaker 8: millions of Latin Americans and disregard that, this was all
26:27
Speaker 8: about your history, African Americans. This is about what what
26:32
Speaker 8: you went through in this country. No, no, no, forget that.
26:35
Speaker 8: It's everybody.
26:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's very logical. So what does that mean
26:40
Speaker 2: this Marine court will use logic and come to that conclusion.
26:47
Speaker 8: Who knows? I mean legally that is there is there,
26:55
Speaker 8: it's it's it's beyond you know, when they first started
26:58
Speaker 8: doing this. As I described, this doesn't come from anything
27:01
Speaker 8: in the Constitution. It comes from a footnote in a
27:04
Speaker 8: Justice Brennan decision. So even after the fourteenth Amendment for
27:09
Speaker 8: one hundred years, No, of course, the children of any
27:13
Speaker 8: illegals who existed, it wasn't a problem back then.
27:16
Speaker 5: I doubt it.
27:16
Speaker 8: Any court you know, had to hear such a case.
27:20
Speaker 8: But of course they weren't citizens. They weren't treated as citizens.
27:24
Speaker 8: And in the case Plilor v. Do out of Texas,
27:28
Speaker 8: the beginning of the end that was when Texas, being
27:31
Speaker 8: overwhelmed with with illegals, said we can't afford to keep
27:37
Speaker 8: educating you. You can't use public services. As you know,
27:40
Speaker 8: California passed the exact same law by referendum I don't know,
27:46
Speaker 8: twenty years ago. And you know, the Court's fiddle around
27:49
Speaker 8: with it. It sits around, Democrat governor comes in and
27:52
Speaker 8: it just goes. Of course, you know, these these great
27:55
Speaker 8: devotees of democracy overrule the.
27:57
Speaker 5: Will of the people.
27:58
Speaker 8: Appliler bide goes up to the Supreme Court and in
28:03
Speaker 8: dicta meaning not part of the ruling. It's just casual
28:06
Speaker 8: chit chat from a justice that has no legal bearing.
28:10
Speaker 8: There is no force and effect of legal dicta. One Justice,
28:15
Speaker 8: Justice William Brennan drops a footnote saying, I don't really
28:19
Speaker 8: see the difference.
28:20
Speaker 5: In legal any illegal immigrants.
28:21
Speaker 8: They should they should, they should all be treated if
28:24
Speaker 8: they're born here as citizens. It's a footnote in a
28:26
Speaker 8: Justice Brennan opinion. That's the closest the Supreme Court ever
28:29
Speaker 8: came to deciding this issue. Didn't decide the issue. Nobody
28:33
Speaker 8: else agreed with him. It has no legal force and
28:36
Speaker 8: it's been there for I don't know when was that
28:38
Speaker 8: case probably in the seventies. Yeah, don't hold.
28:42
Speaker 3: Me to that.
28:42
Speaker 8: Actually, I think it was like nineteen eighty two.
28:44
Speaker 5: It's very recent.
28:46
Speaker 8: So you know this long history going back to the Mayflower.
28:49
Speaker 8: Now it goes back to a footnote from nineteen eighty
28:51
Speaker 8: two and a Justice Brendon opinion.
28:53
Speaker 2: Very logical stuff you're giving us here. That makes perfect sense.
28:56
Speaker 2: And I like the way and culter you attorneys, you
28:59
Speaker 2: just implier v Do we should do that in radio?
29:04
Speaker 2: You know? And i'm as versus Cumulus.
29:08
Speaker 8: Well, the holding in that case was the Supreme Court
29:10
Speaker 8: or was it Texas did have to pay for the
29:12
Speaker 8: education of the illegals. Yeah, that was a very very
29:16
Speaker 8: bad Supreme Court. Boycourts can do a lot of damage,
29:19
Speaker 8: as we're all seeing now with these ridiculous district court judges.
29:22
Speaker 2: Now, President Trump, this is unheard of, has decided to
29:25
Speaker 2: attend the hearings. He's sitting there, which I think is
29:28
Speaker 2: a huge mistake. Can you ever try to stay awake
29:30
Speaker 2: through one of these things? Can you imagine him?
29:35
Speaker 8: Well, we both think it's a huge mistake, but for
29:37
Speaker 8: different reasons. I wouldn't I wouldn't want to make it
29:42
Speaker 8: political in that sense. This is about the history of
29:47
Speaker 8: our country. This is about the Civil War, this is
29:49
Speaker 8: about the obvious meaning of the Civil rights amendments. It
29:54
Speaker 8: was all about recently freed slaves. That's what it was about.
30:00
Speaker 8: That's all it was about. And I think, I mean,
30:02
Speaker 8: I missed. I'll hopefully be able to hear the arguments later,
30:06
Speaker 8: but you know, they start these things so darn early
30:08
Speaker 8: in the morning. Yeah, Mark Simoon, So I have not
30:13
Speaker 8: I've heard only bits and pieces of it. And yes,
30:15
Speaker 8: I'm sure they'll be arguing about the lingo here and there.
30:19
Speaker 8: But I really think it's just the blinding fact of
30:21
Speaker 8: when this what the purpose of this amendment was, why
30:24
Speaker 8: it was added, why I.
30:25
Speaker 5: Was phrased the way it was.
30:26
Speaker 8: It was about reed slaves, breath slaves only, And I
30:29
Speaker 8: wouldn't try to turn it into a political thing, Republicans
30:33
Speaker 8: versus Democrats. That's why I think, Yeah, would not attend.
30:37
Speaker 2: Well, the hearings are going on and on. Now they
30:39
Speaker 2: do break for lunch, right, they break for lunch. My
30:42
Speaker 2: prediction you will not see the president back after lunch
30:44
Speaker 2: for the rest of the hearings.
30:46
Speaker 8: Is he actually there.
30:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's attending the hearings huh, And I guarantee you
30:52
Speaker 2: about twenty minutes into it, he's going, what did I
30:54
Speaker 2: give myself into?
30:55
Speaker 8: How can I?
30:59
Speaker 2: I don't agree with that either, So hey, let me
31:03
Speaker 2: ask you an important question. Don Lemon reveals yesterday's thinking
31:06
Speaker 2: of running for president.
31:08
Speaker 8: Fantastic.
31:10
Speaker 2: How delusional is this guy? Or is he just know
31:13
Speaker 2: that he's fired, he's not working anywhere and he needs attention?
31:17
Speaker 2: Is that what it's all about?
31:19
Speaker 8: Well, considering who the Democrats chose as they're well, they
31:24
Speaker 8: didn't choose. Considering who the Democrats ran, I can't say
31:29
Speaker 8: Democrats actually chose her as their last presidential nominee. I
31:34
Speaker 8: think it's perfectly logical for Don Lemon to think he's
31:37
Speaker 8: more qualified than Kamala Harra.
31:39
Speaker 2: No, okay, do you remember this. We were in a restaurant once.
31:42
Speaker 2: It was in Connecticut, Lascal. I think Ray Kelly was
31:45
Speaker 2: with us and he walks in, Don Lemon, do you
31:48
Speaker 2: remember this? And we don't look at him And he's
31:51
Speaker 2: one of those guys.
31:51
Speaker 8: I didn't notice him there.
31:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't notice, but he's one of those guys.
31:57
Speaker 2: He comes over the table, you're not going to say hello?
31:59
Speaker 2: Is that you're not going to say a load to
32:01
Speaker 2: me that that's kind of a who would do that?
32:03
Speaker 2: That takes a real ego to do that, or an insecurity.
32:07
Speaker 8: I think you're being too tough on him there.
32:12
Speaker 2: You can't be too tough.
32:13
Speaker 8: It's nice, unfriendly, it's just a way of approaching a table.
32:17
Speaker 8: You are tough market.
32:19
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I mean I maybe you come
32:21
Speaker 2: over and say, hey, I don't know if you have
32:22
Speaker 2: noticed them here, but they come over and yell at them.
32:25
Speaker 2: You're not going to stay a load to me, So.
32:30
Speaker 8: You are a tough critic.
32:32
Speaker 2: Look who's talking.
32:35
Speaker 8: Oh I'm a gentleman, I.
32:37
Speaker 2: Am mister Rogers compared to you. So that Christy no
32:42
Speaker 2: no chance of running in twenty twenty eight after.
32:44
Speaker 8: All this, right, you know, last night the New York
32:49
Speaker 8: Times posted an article One of my friends was flying
32:53
Speaker 8: out to South Dakota long before this story broke. I
32:57
Speaker 8: assume your listeners are wealth that. I assume people on
33:00
Speaker 8: Mars are well familiar with that story. And he just
33:05
Speaker 8: wanted to interview Noam's husband without knowing this was coming.
33:09
Speaker 8: As soon as he gets story breaks, so he has
33:12
Speaker 8: a really interesting article. I mean, obviously we're all giggling
33:15
Speaker 8: about this story. And and and I read his article.
33:21
Speaker 8: He interviewed people in the town, and my heart believes
33:27
Speaker 8: for the husband here, Oh my gosh that I mean,
33:30
Speaker 8: the neighbors Americans are such nice people. So they were
33:34
Speaker 8: all saying, you know, what a nice guy he is,
33:38
Speaker 8: and this is so sad, and he had and and
33:40
Speaker 8: and shows a picture of his business. I guess he
33:42
Speaker 8: sells insurance. And it's something like, you know, as honest
33:46
Speaker 8: as apple pie. And there's nothing that indicates he's not honest.
33:48
Speaker 7: Here.
33:49
Speaker 8: This is kind of a freak. But but they were
33:52
Speaker 8: all they were all so sympathetic. It made me think,
33:55
Speaker 8: you know, these are nice people. They're right, this is
33:58
Speaker 8: very very sad.
33:59
Speaker 2: Okay, but that's out Dakota. If he was in New York,
34:01
Speaker 2: the neighbors will say, I knew the whole time. I knew,

Speaker 1: Now back to Mark Simone on wor Well.
35:17
Speaker 2: Hey, the awful AOC leading the anti Semitic wing of
35:22
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. She makes a big announcement she will
35:24
Speaker 2: not vote for military aid for Israel. You know, most
35:29
Speaker 2: important ally, especially at this moment, but the idea I
35:33
Speaker 2: will not support Israel. I will not vote for military
35:36
Speaker 2: aid for Israel. It's putting into real, specific, concrete terms,
35:41
Speaker 2: the anti Semitism that's building up in this crazy far
35:46
Speaker 2: left wing of the party and infecting the entire party.
35:49
Speaker 2: And until they get rid of this, they're gonna have
35:52
Speaker 2: nothing but problems. You know, you can expect it from AOC,
35:57
Speaker 2: but you got too much of this. There was always, always,
36:00
Speaker 2: always in the democratic world, sometimes even in the Republican world,
36:04
Speaker 2: an anti Israel fringe character. But now it become the
36:08
Speaker 2: mainstream for Democrats, from Mom Donnie to AOC to those
36:13
Speaker 2: wacky Minnesota people. It's just awful, awful, awful stuff. The
36:19
Speaker 2: President will speak tonight nine o'clock nine o'clock tonight, he'll
36:23
Speaker 2: address the nation. Obviously Iran will be a topic, but
36:26
Speaker 2: he'll probably talk about the shutdown, the ballroom, the other stuff.
36:31
Speaker 2: But he'll probably if he's going to do this address
36:33
Speaker 2: tonight at night, announce something about a settlement about the
36:38
Speaker 2: end of the Iran war. He'll probably give a date.
36:40
Speaker 5: Now.
36:40
Speaker 2: I know that we keep telling you we don't get
36:43
Speaker 2: any oil from the Straits of Hormos. We don't need
36:45
Speaker 2: their oil. That's China, that's India, that's Pakistan, and apparently
36:51
Speaker 2: they really need that oil. They have been pushing Iran
36:54
Speaker 2: to settle this. President says, there's some kind of settlement
36:57
Speaker 2: in the works, but China and India Pakistan have been
37:01
Speaker 2: pushing around to settle. So maybe you'll have something big
37:06
Speaker 2: to announce it tonight. We'll carry the speech live here
37:09
Speaker 2: nine o'clock tonight, the President will speak. Hey, we're out
