  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on sevenor well, it's gonna be
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a beautiful day today. Price of oil up, a little,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: stock market down, a little, price of oil up two
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: eighty two dollars a barrel, all right, that's up from
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: it was down around sixty eight to seventy. But it's
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: just like last time, temporary spike. It'll come down. We
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: are bombing the hell out of Iran every night. Now.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Iranians killed two US troops over the weekend. One more.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: That brings it up to three. You'll hear the news
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: media talk about this day and night. Three dead, you know, no,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: overall in the war, six seven dead. And they'll make
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a big deal out of that. Now, got a remember
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: during the Biden Afghanistan withdrawal, thirteen US soldiers were killed.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Do you know that during the Obama administration? How many
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: US soldiers you think were killed during the Obama administration?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Three hundred three? No mention by the media. Not a
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: big deal to them. So but Iran, not only that,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: but the warning people they stay away from US bases.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: They're making all kinds of threats. Now, Iranian's missile and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: drone attacks stuck, a struck, a nuclear or a power
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and water distillation plant in Kuwait. That's very important. These
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: water distillation plants that part of the world key source
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of drinking water in Kuwait, which is a tiny nation.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: So they did hit that. That was pretty strategic. Iran
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: is telling its own citizens turn off the air conditioner
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to preserve the power grid. I think it's hot here.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Try Iran telling people turn off the AC They blame
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: US strikes for the string. Now, of course they are
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: threatening President Trump like crazy. They even have billboards now
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: threatening Trump that they're going to kill him his family.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: This is pretty serious stuff. Can you imagine why would
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: he even take this job? Now you got Iran threatening you. Now,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: he said, suddenly, like a salmon rushdie. There's a giant
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: poster in the middle of Tehran calling for the death
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of Trump. They're all over the place. Another one, Oh God,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: has headshots of members of the Trump family, including Milania, Avanka,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Don Junior, on top of coffins draped with US flag.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is just awful. They're also threatening well,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: they actually said Trump is the next one after the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: death of regime critic Lindsey Graham. So does that mean
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: they're implying that they had something to do with his death,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that they somehow caused it or poisoned him or something.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: So crazy. Democrats have got to do something about their
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: party being taken over by nutjob socialists. Who's going to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: stand up to them? Well, Fetterman has been pretty good.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: When Mamdani made these ridiculous, silly, childish comments about I'm
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: going to arrest netnya, who would just nonsense, ridiculous stuff.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: He can't arrest net nyah. And there's no such law
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the internet. He violated international law. There's no such thing.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: And the International Criminal Court in the Hague is just
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a silly little thing. It's not a real court. It's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: not even recognized by the United States. Their leaders are
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: not even allowed in the United States. It's just a joke.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But the one Democrat really stood up to Mamdani was Fatterman.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Give them credit.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: It's such a tough guy to say that kind of thing.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: He has no way to do that. Of course, obviously
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: America is not even part of that corrupt court, and
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: so he's just a clown to even say that.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this International Criminal Court is a left wing kook court.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Follow it was founded by a bunch of mam donni
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: types to go after America, and that's why America doesn't
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: recognize it, doesn't submit to it, and most major nations
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: don't recognize the i c CS not a real court.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: But good for Fetterman. And he's the guy taken on
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the Democrat. He's the Democrat trying to wake up his party.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: If our party ever becomes and just make it official
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: as the anti Israel party, you know, that's when I
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: would leave because that's been a moral clarity for me.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just ridiculous. And Bill Maher give Bill Maher
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: credit for standing up to the crazy Democrats. In fact,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: mar in an interview said they've embraced a level of nuttiness,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: of nutty stuff that makes him open to voting. He
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: says for JD Vance in twenty twenty eight, he said
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the party is being taken over. Every day I hear
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: about a new very radical guy. I can't sit and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: just not notice stuff which people seem to want to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: do because it's all about my team, your team. But
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it's some crazy stuff. And when they're cheering for the Intefada,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I'm out, so no, And he says, I'm not living
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: in communist America. I know that the talking point is
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that it's not communism, it's socialism. But when they're talking
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: about taking over key industries, it's communism. There's the definition.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So even Mar standing up to them, good for him.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: But he gave a lot of interviews. Well, the reason
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: is he's got the Mark Twain Award. It's a big deal,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the Mark Twain Award for Bill Maher.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: There aren't a lot of awards for comedy, and it's
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: pretty overlooked like in movies. But for what I do,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: it's yes, the award I think to get. And again
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: there's not many for this particular brand of show business.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: So I was very grateful.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they call it the Nobel Prize of Comedy.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Good for Mar. He also good for him. He's doing
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: it an NPR interview and he went after NPR, calling
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: it an extreme, far left outlet. And of course the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: NPR host you know, they always whispered, he's NPR hosts.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: They always talk like this, And he said, I think
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you'd be surprised at how diverse we are. I'd be stunned.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if you were diverse. But he really
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: told them off right on NPR good, and he said,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: start engaging with the argument, stop attacking the Republicans, engage
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: with the argument.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Hey.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Also he defended Louis c k who, of course was canceled,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and it was pretty disgusting. He was, you know, would
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: get a woman into his hotel room usually somebody's working
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: with or something, or get him into his office and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: then he would remove his pants and masturbate in front
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: of them. Now I don't get this fetish at all.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, he did it a couple of times. That's
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: why I got canceled. I mean, if you're going to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: do that, you really can do it by yourself. Has
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: he ever heard of porn? I mean, you don't need
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to have an actual person in the room. And the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: strange part is he wouldn't just pull down his pants.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: He would take them off, fold them, drape them over
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the chair. It's just insane. So I guess he deserved it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's disgusting. He deserves to be ostracized. But
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Bill Maher is arguing, and he has a point here.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: He said he might have done enough show business jail time.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: He understands canceling and understands you go to show business jail,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: but he said, like regular jail, there's got to be
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a limit. You know, this is not life in prison
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: for this. He said, this should be like a ten
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: year punishment. He said, it's been ten years for this guy.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: That's enough for this kind of crime. You wouldn't get life,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you'd get ten years in jail. So he's saying, after
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a few years, let him out of show biz jail.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: He said, you know, he's got a very popular podcast
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in a popular HBO show, and he said he brought
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: back people. He brought Kevin Spacey back and Woody Allen,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and he's invited Louis c k to come to this
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Mark Twain Awards. So he's got a point. I mean,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I understand canceling the guy, but it doesn't have to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: be permanent. Just like sending somebody to jail. You could
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: send him for life, you could send him for for
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: two years, five years. So good point. You know, Lindsey Graham,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: his sister has replaced him in the Senate and now
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: this is the temporary appointment the election elections in November,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: but the governor points somebody to fill the seat till January.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: But President Trump surprised everybody, urging Lindsey Graham's sister to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: run in November. He said, there's nobody better. He said,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: he met with her. She came to meet with President Trump,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and he asked her for the good of the nation,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to run for the US Senate in the real election
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: coming up. He said, I hope she does. This is
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: nobody better. Now she's married, she as a family. I
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: don't know what she wants to do. I don't know
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: if it's something that she wants. But he's asking her
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to run. Pretty interesting. Tom Holman saying, now, when it
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: comes to ice agents, the problem is everybody wanted to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: have body cameras, but you got, you know, hundreds of
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: thousands of ice agents. It's a lot of body cameras,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and you got to have a little training to wear it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: So it takes time to get them all, every one
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: of them wired up. But what Holman's doing is they
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: work in teams, so he wants at least one person
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: on every team to have the body cam so people
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: can see what happened in these in these incidents, Hey,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: is this sleazy or nut sleezy? President Trump has his
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: own Twitter It's called truth Social. He started it. Now actually,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: at this point he owns I think fifty three percent
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of it. It's not all him, but it's his own
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: truth social and he came out with this thing yesterday
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: they had launched or over the weekend. If you're a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: big company or a business or whoever, you're a hedge fund,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: you can pay a monthly fee one hundred thousand a month,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of money. And when President Trump is going
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: to tweet something, you'll get it early before everybody else.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: And a lot of times, if he's tweeting something about
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a business or an industry or something, it can make
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a stock shoot up. That's why a hedge fund would
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: want it early, find out before everybody else, because then
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: they could buy the stock. If he's going to say
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: something about Tesla or something or whatever, you could buy
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Tesla real fast. Or if he's gonna say something bad
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: about Tesla, you could sell it real fast. So it
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: sounds like insider trading. And you'd pay one hundred thousand
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a month for access to this. Now to me, it
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: sounds pretty slazy, And if you're the president in the
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: United States, you shouldn't. It's legal, I guess, but you
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing this. But in his defense, it turns
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: out now he doesn't run the company and he only
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: owns fifty three percent of it. It turns out I
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: didn't know this that other platforms do this. Twitter has
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: this service, so it's not just some crazy thing he
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: came up with. Apparently other platforms have it. And if
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you're a hedge fund that if you watch the show Billions,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: you know that's what they're after, and that's what they'll
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: pay for. Inside info, stuff that doesn't public yet, get
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: information before anybody else, that kind of stuff. And these guys,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: when it's going to be a tweet, you get it
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: ahead of everybody. I don't know what that means. Does
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: it mean five minutes, ten minutes? But hedge funds are
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: equipped to respond in a microsecond, so it would still
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: help them. Doesn't sound great, but again, other platforms have
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: all been doing it, so if that's what the other
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: platforms do, his certainly has a right to keep up
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: with the rest of the industry. Amazon is announced they're
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: building a facility in Wholebrook out in Long Island. You
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: know it sounds good. I'm building a facility. This is
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Amazon boy. When they build a facility, it's a one
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: billion dollar facility. It's one hundred and forty acres. One
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty acres. Now it's going to be a
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: huge fulfillment center. They got to build these all over
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the place. You don't realize what it takes to get
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: these packages to you. You order something that's there the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: next day, it's a fulfillment center. Four million square foot building,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: four million square feet this building, the ceilings are seventy
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: five feet high. That's because if you've seen inside these
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: fulfillment centers, they're just it looks like a Costco, but
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: ten times the size. With these big forklifts that are
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: all robotic, going up picking up whatever items you order.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: It's unbelo it's the most advanced robotics you've ever seen,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: getting packages off shelves, putting them into orders. This will
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: be a fulfillment center. It'll get your order ready and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: then it'll be delivered. Trucks will pick it up there.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: And now listen to this. It's not only four million
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: square feet, it's only one hundred and forty acres. This
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: facility will have parking for twenty one hundred vehicles. Twenty
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: one hundred vehicles. That this is the kind of stuff
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: you want because it's great for business. But on the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: other hand, as I said, it's all robotic normally to
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: get a facility like that, can you imagine the jobs
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: that would create. Well for robots, yes, a lot of jobs,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: but twenty one hundred vehicles means drivers at this point.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: At some point those will be robotic. Hey, Legionaire's disease,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: let me just give you the latest. They are now
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: three dead. And let me just point out something. When
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: you hear more dead, oh, another death, that's a lagging indicator.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: That doesn't mean there's a the outbreak is increasing. If
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you get Legionnaire's disease, it's going to be a week
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: or two before you die. So if if the number
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: spiking now means the spike was a week ago for
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the disease spreading, it's actually coming down. There's less cases
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: of Legionnaires. As it comes down, the death number will
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: go up, but that's from people that contracted it a
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: week ago when it was higher. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten Mark simone
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: on seven ten. Wo Hey, we'll take some calls. Actually,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: let's get some new callers. If you never called before,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: call us eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Is the number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Lee in New Jersey. Lee, how you doing?

• 15:00
  Speaker 6: I used to live in North Babylon, Long Island. Okay, yeah,
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: well that was what I was younger. But anyway, where
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: did they find all that square footage? Because Long Island
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: is so built up, like tod they just create a
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: new town somewhere because to put an Amazon censer out there,
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: where did they find all that square page that?
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: That's why it's in Holebrook. That's why it's not in
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the middle of Garden City. You got to go out
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to Wholebrook to get that much square footage probably, you know, I.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: Mean even going out to the Hamptons and stuff. I mean,
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: there's still you know, a lot of towns out there.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: But I was thinking about they're going to have robots
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: working it, but they're still going to have a lot
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: of delivery trucks, which is good for people that need
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: a job, but they're going to clog the roads like crazy.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: You ever been on the Belt Parkway. I mean it's
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: like coming in from Long Island.
• 15:51

  Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, well you can't get down there. You know,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know you people in New Jersey were thinking.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: You built five thousand skyscrapers on the waterfront and you
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: have the same two roads. It's clotted.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: This is very nice. It's like a lot of room
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: room to breed. Don't tell everybody now that I just did,
• 16:15

• 16:39
  Speaker 7: was very personal. You get all the people working there.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: I used to work the hot doork stand and I
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: met some good personalities. Bush the Crab, A Flash Gordon.
• 16:49

  Speaker 1: to know who that is, but.
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: Well I'm one hundred and fifteen, so not the word.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: But if you watch the Honeymooners episode, he's mentioned and
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: then one of them.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that's very true. And they had Freddy Cannon
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: did the actual performance there. It was incredible.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, but let me ask you something. It was a
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: big amusement park, uh for fort Lely, right was it
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Edgewater Fortly?
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: But well yeah, more so towards cliff Side Park.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Cliff Side Park.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: I think the Uide Park here.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I think the Winston Towers apartment buildings sit on what
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: used to be the Palisade Park Park.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: Right, and the Pallisadium is there too. But here's a question.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: It was so popular what what closed it? Why did
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: it close?
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: In nineteen seventy one that the neighbor is the hood changed,
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: there were a lot of bars and other areas, and
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: what happened was there were a lot of if I
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: was drinking and that's good out and we got worse.
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: So it just he decided to shut it down and
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: sell it. And but it was extremely popular my day
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: back in the eighteen.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it was a big deal.
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Well thanks for calling good stuff. Let's go to Adam
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey. Adam, how you doing?
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just a little down a bit, you know,
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: wondering what happened to peace movement that in America?
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: Where's the Joan baiages?
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: And you know what I'm saying, assisted living right now?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: What happened to Joe and Bias peace movement? You still
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: got it?
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: I don't see nothing in the streets.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, you should get a television set. It's a change
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: your life. Get one of those flat screens. You can
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: turn it on and watch MSNBC and you'll see peace
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: marches all over the place, protesting the war, protesting Trump,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: no kings. You'll even see those peace signs. They brought
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: them back. They're all wearing those things. Now, let's go
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: to Mike and Portchester. Mike, how you doing all right?
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: Mark? I called because you always talk about Greenwich. Have
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: you ever been to Portchester?
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I've been to Colony Peace so they're probably the nicest
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: looking Colony Pizza and even got an outdoor deck overlooking
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the water. I've been to Costco there.
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: I've been to isn't that work About's restaurant?
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: TNJ is very very good. That's a great Italian restaurant.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I went there with Fred Camillo. Oh and also you
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: got Sergio saw Pit. That's one of the great Italian restaurants.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: That's right, that's right.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: See do I pass the tex Passqually's is very good too,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of good stuff. And you got
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: an AMC movie theater there. See I know my way
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: around port Chester.
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: All right, Well, listen when you talk to Vincent. Uh huh,
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: give him a phrase from me in Italian?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you, good, all right, go ahead.
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: For Mayor Mondani. Okay, go ahead, give him a new name,
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: zero moo Donnie.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: All right, work on that, a little tweak that a
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: little Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing?
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: Come on?
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, no, good morning to.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Listen, right, not just good morning to you. Mark, I
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: heard the first part of the show, Zando Mundani. Mark.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: I believe that city council speaker Julia Manning is a
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: fraud and she's just as leftists as all the rest
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: of the leftists on the city Council. But she comes
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: off better because she wears nicer clothes and has a
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: better hairddress and has better.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: People in play, but she can be common sense at times.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but here's all right, here's the butt mark. Last
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: week and the photo was in the post, she did
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: a photo op with Michael mulgrew, the president of the
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: Teachers Union, and there was one of his quoties there.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: She made a side deal with the teacher's aides beyond
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: the raisers. They already got the teachers and the aids
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: in their contract. She cut a side deal that wasn't
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: negotiated with anybody if each teachers aid a ten thousand
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: dollars additional rays Mark. She is the one who sponsored
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: that law before Eric adams term was up, that says
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: we have to offer our buildings when they're for sale
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: to these NGOs. And even though she didn't have enough votes,
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: there wasn't veto proof Eric Adams are just played dead,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: and Mondani signed it to law. She just us.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. She is more common sense,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: but you're right, she's being Chuck shumorist, afraid to stand
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: up to these crazy left and she's exactly that. Next day,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Vincent got it. We gotta go do the news. But okay,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: good point. Thanks for calling. Hey, when we come back,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: John Fund, the great writer columnist you know, Wall Street Journal,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: the Committee on Lash Prosperity and no better expert on
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: our elections? Are they safe? Are they going to be? Okay?
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: This time? No better expert. We'll talk to him next
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: on seven to ten. Woor Welcome back to the Mark
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Simone Show Live from the WR Life Back Studios. Well
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: John Fund, the brilliant writer columnist, Wall Street Journal, National Review,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: working that runs the Committee to Unleashed Prosperity. And he's
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: written a book that came out a little while ago.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: But you got to read this book. It's called Our
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Broken Elections, really explains things to you. Very important book
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: are Broken Elections, And it's good to having back with us.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: John Fund, how you doing pleasure? Thanks?
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: The Canadians or invasion has more or less gone away.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Well, but it could start again. President Trump is right
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to get on them. They could do some forests maintenance,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: make sure this doesn't happen again, can't they?
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Both Canada and the US don't allow controlled burns in
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of their government land, and that's one of
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the reasons we have these fires.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's time to stop listening to these climate
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: change nuts. They're wrong. About some things, and this is
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: certainly one of them. Hey, before we get to the elections,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: let me ask you something about great Britain got a
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: new prime minister today? What does that mean for us?
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: It means, I.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Think, sadly that the new Labor Party Prime minister is
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: going to have a honeymoon and Britain will, briefly until
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: they get disappointed, rally around him. This guy is trouble.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: He spoke to the Labor Party conference last week and
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: said all of our problems are either because of Thatcher
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: or the United States. We have to nationalize various industries.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: In other words, we need our socialism. The kind of
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: democratic socialists we have in America are now actually in
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: charge in Britain.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I asked, Hey. The other problem is whatever happens,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: have a.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Nice cup of tea.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: But often what happens in Britain is like the canary
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: in the coal mine about what's going to happen here?
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Does that?
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: The good news is, you know, the Labor Party is
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: extremely unpopular because they've done nothing to solve Britain's underlying
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: economic or social or immigration problems. And as a result,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Nigel Farage is still the favor to become the next
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: British Prime minister. After this, we just have we just
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: have to wait a couple of years for an election,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: and that's why they're doing so much to try to
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: discredit Nigel Farage. And Look, the real issue that we
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: have to worry about is, you know, Britain is seeing
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: an upsurge in left wing political violence. We just had
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: that former cabinet minister who was brutally murdered in her
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: home at age seventy eight. Nigel Farage has been threatened
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: by people who've been arrested for that. One of the
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: people who is in jail for threatening Nigel Farage is
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: sending out TikTok videos threatening other people. We have a
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: left wing violence problem in this country. My colleague Noah
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Roffman at National Review has a new book out on
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: this subject, and I have to tell you, you remember
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: that medical executive from United Healthcare who was gunned down
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: on the streets of New York. Yeah, this is this
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: is not an isolated phenomenon. We are seeing Antifa and
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: people who want to threaten and intimidate their opponents all
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: over this country. Look, I'm not an apologist for the
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: January sixth people. I think some of those people should
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: have gone to jail, but they are dwarfed by the
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: number of left wingers who are ignored by the media,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: who are constantly out there threatening people and have trumped
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: arrangement syndrome.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: So this crazy move to the left, the Democrats, the
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: socialist mom all this the violence. How do you bring
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: this to an end? Will it ever end? Will the
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: cycle change?
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Well, the first thing we have to do is make
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: sure that people understand that if they act violently or
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: threaten people, they will be prosecuted or they will be discipline.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I think that's the most important thing. We need to
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: keep political disagreements non violent. So what we have to
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: do politically is I think the Democratic Party is going
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: to have to burn out this themselves. They are going
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: to have to start losing elections general elections. It's one
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: thing to elect someone in Mondami. Like Mandami, you know,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: this is a city where Donald Trump got twenty five
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: percent of the vote. Denver, Colorado, Kamala Harris won with
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: eighty five percent of the vote. They have to start
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: losing elections in places like Michigan, where I think this
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: guy Abdulla al said is going to be the Democratic candidate.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: That's the way that the Democratic Party is going to
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: have to be convinced you're going over the deep end
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: and it's time to pull back. Listen to John Fetterman.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Don't primary John Fetterman.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Well, Fetterman is great, but you got too many Chuck
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Schumer King Jeffrey types who are afraid to speak up,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: afraid to say anything.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Well, if I were Chuck Schumer and I were how
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: King Jeffries, I would be afraid to because they could
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: lose Democratic primaries in New York and so I understand
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: their political hesitation. But remember, if you're trying to become
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: a leader, you're supposed to lead, and these people have
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: the courage of other people's convictions, namely the Democratic Socialists.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: He now, I've got midterms coming up. You're the expert
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: on these election practices. Is it any better? Is the
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: election any more secure in state by the state by state?
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Oh good.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: We have about twenty eight states that have pretty solid
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: voter ID laws. We have many states that are trying
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: to also improve ballot security for mail in ballots. I
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: think we're going to see four more efforts to try
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: to require proof of citizenship in order to first register
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: to vote. Our elections are better than they were in
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, and certainly much better than they were
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. However, I think that the real problem
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: we have is there is an enthusiasm gap in this election.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Democrats are far more enthusiastic about voting against Donald Trump
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: and his friends than Republicans are and supporting, you know,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: the big beautiful tax bill or the other things that
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: have been accomplished. I think Donald Trump hass to have
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: a take a Hail Mary pass between now and the election.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I think he should issue an executive order mark where
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: he says, if you own a house, if you have
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: a stock market portfolio, we're going to index that to
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: capital gains, so you don't pay taxes on the illusionary
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: inflationary gains. If you sell your house, you sell your
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: stock portfolio. And I think that that would boost the economy.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: It would be fair we index everything else in our economy,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: including the tax brackets that we pay money on. And
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: I think that he can do that simply with a
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: reinterpretation of the IRS codes using executive order.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's brilliant and it would work, and it's great
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: but wouldn't that rile up Democrats media even more when
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: they go even crazy here.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Well, already it's a ten out of ten. So I
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: don't know what else could they could do. And the
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: point is the point is even they, you know, would understand, Hey,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: my house which I bought for five hundred thousand and
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: which is now worth a million, I wouldn't have to
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: pay any money on the inflationary gains that I have
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: with you're illusory, and I would save money too. So
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: I think it would be a win win for most people,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: and it would affect everyone, including the middle class, including
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: people who just have you know, a small ira include
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: it would help everyone. And as we've already learned, whenever
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: we cut the capital gains tax, we end up with
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: more revenue, not with less revenue.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, John, fun this Save America Act? How important
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: is this? Is it really important? Would it really get
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: a lot done? Would it really do anything?
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I think it does have to be structured in such
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: a way that it doesn't unduly interfere with the rights
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: of the states to conduct their elections. Having said that, look,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: the federal government sends money to the states to support
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: their election systems. They have a right under current law
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: to demand that the voter registration roles be cleaned up.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: They usually aren't in blue states. In New York City,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: no marketer or whatever use a voter registration is to
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: try to sell anyone anything, because twenty percent of the
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: names are outdated, people who are dead, people who don't exist.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I think that we do have to clean up the
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: election roles. I think the federal government is probably not
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: going to have the Save America Vote Act in place
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: for this election, which is why in going forward, the
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: federal government has to sue the states clean up your
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: voter rolls or you're not going to get any federal money.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: And I think that we're going to have to go
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: back and try for the Save America Vote Act next
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: session of Congress because I don't want to get rid
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: of the philibuster. I don't know how you feel about this, market.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: I think the filibuster is a great guaranteur of minority
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: rights and we should we should get we get rid
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: of it at our peril.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, got a minute, So left the Democrats so
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: far to the left, is this last time this happened?
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: You have like a Bill Clinton, rise up and lead
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: them back to the middle. Is that going to happen again?
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Will it be a Fetterman or somebody that could do that?
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Good question? The answer is how many elections do they
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: lose because they have the looney left and on their
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: ticket as candidates? And I think that's the only solution
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: for this. Politicians do not have ideas, they have ambitions,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: and if their ambitions are thwarted by the fact that
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: their party has moved too far to the left, they
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: will as if Bill Clinton or Tony Blair when the
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Labor Party lost three elections to Margaret Thatcher, they will adjust.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: We have to beat them in order for them to
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: get common sense.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, great stuff, John fun brilliant as always.
• 31:52
