Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, it's Mark Simone. Welcome to the bonus segment for
- 0:03Speaker 1: you podcast listeners. Well give you like an extra show
- 0:06Speaker 1: every week. So November you got the midterm elections. You know,
- 0:09Speaker 1: also you got the race for governor. Here in New York,
- 0:13Speaker 1: we hope Bruce Blakeman wins. He'd be the best governor
- 0:16Speaker 1: we could have right now. But you know, also in
- 0:19Speaker 1: Connecticut you got a governor's race. Ned Lamont. He's a Democrat.
- 0:24Speaker 1: He'd be running for I think it's a third term. Yeah,
- 0:27Speaker 1: he'd be running for a third term. Now. Lamont is
- 0:30Speaker 1: a Democrat. He's not that bad because he was for
- 0:33Speaker 1: many years a very successful businessman. So sometimes he's a
- 0:37Speaker 1: pretty common sense Democrat. He goes a little left sometimes,
- 0:41Speaker 1: but he's not the worst. He will be running for
- 0:43Speaker 1: a third term in Connecticut now, and the Republicans looks
- 0:49Speaker 1: like they're going to nominate what's his name, Ryan, I'm
- 0:54Speaker 1: blanking out of his name, the state legislator, very very
- 0:59Speaker 1: a good guy. Republicans like him. But here's the thing,
- 1:02Speaker 1: Ned Lamont, guess he brings into campaign for him. Al Sharpton.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Al Sharpton showed up to campaign for Ned Lamont in
- 1:14Speaker 1: Hartford State Capital. Yeah, Sharpton, Look at this. Sharpton's motor
- 1:21Speaker 1: cade of SUVs pulled up to the state Capitol. This
- 1:24Speaker 1: is this week around two pm. Motorcate of SUV's. Who
- 1:29Speaker 1: the hell does this guy think he is? Al Sharpton.
- 1:32Speaker 1: You know, if you're donating to his whatever the hell
- 1:35Speaker 1: he does, you're paying for these motor cades of SUV's.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Sharpton's team spent about a half hour in the Governor's
- 1:43Speaker 1: second floor office, joined by Democratic senators who took time
- 1:47Speaker 1: out from their day's business to talk about the need
- 1:50Speaker 1: for better training for police. If you want to really
- 1:56Speaker 1: learn about how to better train police, I don't think
- 1:58Speaker 1: Al Sharpton's the guy who want to go to But
- 2:01Speaker 1: listen again, I guess Lamott has to do that. Sharpton
- 2:06Speaker 1: with his motorcate of SUVs. They must have driven up
- 2:09Speaker 1: from New York. You wouldn't think they'd have any pull
- 2:13Speaker 1: in Connecticut or that anybody would pay any attention to them,
- 2:16Speaker 1: but apparently they do. Ryan Fazzio, that's the guy. He's
- 2:20Speaker 1: going to be the Republican nominee. Ryan Fazio, State Senator,
- 2:24Speaker 1: good guy, represented Connecticut for years, been reelected twice, so
- 2:30Speaker 1: we'll see. Hey, you know, the Epstein fallout continues. And
- 2:36Speaker 1: the thing is about Epstein. He did have a lot
- 2:38Speaker 1: of money. He had four or five hundred million, six
- 2:40Speaker 1: hundred million at one point, and you got to keep
- 2:43Speaker 1: that money in banks. And if you got hundreds of
- 2:46Speaker 1: millions of dollars and you want to keep it in
- 2:48Speaker 1: the bank, you're like Jed Klampett, like mister Drysdale comes
- 2:51Speaker 1: right to your house and waits on your foot. You're
- 2:55Speaker 1: you're a big, big, big customer for the bank. So
- 3:00Speaker 1: JP Morgan Chase. You know, they stood by Epstein right
- 3:05Speaker 1: to the end because he probably had a couple hundred
- 3:07Speaker 1: million in the bank. Now, Bank of America was his
- 3:10Speaker 1: other bank. He kept a couple hundred million in the
- 3:14Speaker 1: Bank of America, and they were very nice to Epstein,
- 3:17Speaker 1: even after he got arrested in Palm Beach, even after
- 3:20Speaker 1: he went to prison, after he got out. Hey, there,
- 3:23Speaker 1: what do you want. They're bankers. You're going to put
- 3:25Speaker 1: a couple hundred million in they'll be very, very very
- 3:28Speaker 1: nice to you. But Bank of America has been sued
- 3:32Speaker 1: over turning a blind eye to Jeffrey Epstein's crap and
- 3:37Speaker 1: Bank of America just announced the settlement. They've settled the lawsuit.
- 3:40Speaker 1: It was a Manhattan federal lawsuit. They've settled for seventy
- 3:44Speaker 1: three million dollars. They're going to pay seventy three million
- 3:49Speaker 1: to settle that lawsuit. Now listen to this. JP Morgan
- 3:52Speaker 1: also got sued. They settled for almost three hundred million.
- 3:56Speaker 1: That's how much they paid. I wouldn't think they were
- 3:59Speaker 1: even able that make that much money off Epstein, but
- 4:03Speaker 1: it cost them a fortune to get out of it.
- 4:04Speaker 1: So it's seventy three million Bank of America, three hundred million.
- 4:08Speaker 1: JP Morgan Chase. He also had money in Deutsche Bank.
- 4:12Speaker 1: They've agreed to settle for seventy five million. Now, legal
- 4:17Speaker 1: experts say the banks had to settle because they couldn't
- 4:20Speaker 1: go through a really messy discovery process and they want
- 4:23Speaker 1: to keep all their internal documents out of the public view.
- 4:28Speaker 1: They don't want to answer any of these questions. They
- 4:30Speaker 1: don't want, you know, their books opened up. So that's
- 4:34Speaker 1: a lot of money in settlements. You know, the Iranian War,
- 4:38Speaker 1: it's all about the weapons and nuclear material and all
- 4:41Speaker 1: of that, but for Iranian women it's a big deal.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Especially the older ones. They want their old lives back.
- 4:47Speaker 1: You know. Before nineteen seventy nine, before the crazy Ayatola
- 4:51Speaker 1: took over, Iran was a free place. It was a
- 4:55Speaker 1: democratic place, It was a capitalist place. It was quite
- 4:59Speaker 1: a place to Iran was considered the Paris of the
- 5:01Speaker 1: Middle East. It was a wonderful place to live, and
- 5:06Speaker 1: the Shawl of Iran was running things back then. But
- 5:09Speaker 1: it was a very happy, very prosperous, very elegant sort
- 5:13Speaker 1: of a place. And a lot of women say back
- 5:16Speaker 1: then it was great for women. Women worked as lawyers,
- 5:20Speaker 1: as doctors, as politicians. Universities were full of them. Women
- 5:25Speaker 1: entered the diplomatic corps, the judiciary, even the police force.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Then nineteen seventy nine happened and women everything changed suddenly.
- 5:35Speaker 1: The marriage age for girls dropped to nine years old.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Nine years old a hijab became mandatory. You had to
- 5:43Speaker 1: cover yourself up and if you were caught not doing it,
- 5:46Speaker 1: you could be thrown in prison, You could be whipped,
- 5:48Speaker 1: you could be shot. This is what happened in Iran.
- 5:52Speaker 1: It was methodical and brutal. Thousands were killed. Women were
- 5:56Speaker 1: deliberately shot in their faces, shot in their breast, shot
- 6:00Speaker 1: in their genitals. It was one of the punishments the
- 6:04Speaker 1: crazy Iyatola regime had. Girls were maimed, murdered, and so
- 6:09Speaker 1: called honor killings. It was just awful. This is forty
- 6:13Speaker 1: six years of this crap. So you would think the
- 6:16Speaker 1: left wing would want to get rid of this regime
- 6:19Speaker 1: so that women would free be free again, and if
- 6:21Speaker 1: you were gay in Iran, you'd be literally executed for that.
- 6:24Speaker 1: You think liberals would fight for getting rid of this
- 6:27Speaker 1: kind of a government. But the Trump derangement syndrome is stronger,
- 6:32Speaker 1: so they somehow they're suddenly on a Rand's side in
- 6:37Speaker 1: all of this. Hey, you know, we got this crazy mayor,
- 6:42Speaker 1: Mom Donnie in New York, this crazy left wing kook
- 6:44Speaker 1: of a mayor. And they have these kind of mayors
- 6:47Speaker 1: in some other cities. So there's about five of them,
- 6:51Speaker 1: really kooky left wing. Boston has one, Oakland has one,
- 6:55Speaker 1: Seattle has one, Los Angeles has one, Chicago has one.
- 7:00Speaker 1: All talking to each other. They want to combine and
- 7:03Speaker 1: form a supergroup. This is not a good thing. These
- 7:07Speaker 1: six it's actually six of these leftist mayors, including Mom Donnie,
- 7:11Speaker 1: want to form an ultra woke supergroup that would seek
- 7:15Speaker 1: to go national turn the whole United States into this
- 7:20Speaker 1: crazy left wing, kooky stuff. Right now, we're in the
- 7:23Speaker 1: process of forming some sort of mayor's coalition and we'll
- 7:28Speaker 1: fight together. Somebody's got to do something about these people.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Somebody's got to get them out of office. Now. If
- 7:33Speaker 1: we get a real governor like a Bruce Blakeman, he
- 7:35Speaker 1: can remove mom Donnie from office. Now, remember, all these
- 7:40Speaker 1: cities have caused millions of people to leave, heading to California,
- 7:44Speaker 1: heading to Florida. All of these mayors have filled their
- 7:47Speaker 1: streets with homelessness, drug use, terrible justice system, criminals not
- 7:52Speaker 1: going to jail, legalized shoplifting, all of this kind of stuff.
- 7:57Speaker 1: So this is not good. This supergroup keep an eye
- 8:00Speaker 1: on this. Hey, you go to the store, supermarket, drug
- 8:05Speaker 1: store or whatever. You know, you don't want to wait
- 8:07Speaker 1: in these lines to pay. So they got the self checkout.
- 8:11Speaker 1: You can check out yourself. It's not that easy, you know,
- 8:17Speaker 1: it's easy with you know, anything in a can, in
- 8:20Speaker 1: a box, barcode that's it. Now you get something, you
- 8:22Speaker 1: got away. It's complicated and they still have to have
- 8:26Speaker 1: a couple of employees there. Now. Costco is working on
- 8:30Speaker 1: this Costco wants to go totally automated paystations, no cashiers anymore.
- 8:35Speaker 1: They're working on a checkout that could take under ten seconds.
- 8:39Speaker 1: They're testing it out in places. Everything will be scannable instantly.
- 8:44Speaker 1: You'll have a mobile wallet, something in your phone, a
- 8:47Speaker 1: Costco app, and then when it comes to a lot
- 8:50Speaker 1: of stuff, you can order it ahead of time, you know,
- 8:52Speaker 1: like Chipotle or those fast food places where you go
- 8:56Speaker 1: on the app, you order everything, order it, and then
- 9:00Speaker 1: it tells you when to show up and pick it up.
- 9:02Speaker 1: And when you show up to pick it up, it's
- 9:03Speaker 1: there in a bag, just waiting for you. You don't
- 9:06Speaker 1: have to talk to anybody, you don't have to do anything.
- 9:08Speaker 1: So Costco working on that. I not worry. I mean
- 9:11Speaker 1: it's going to come a time where you're never going
- 9:14Speaker 1: to talk to anybody ever again. Now you don't talk
- 9:16Speaker 1: to anybody anymore. You don't make phone calls, you just
- 9:18Speaker 1: go online. Used to be going to a story out
- 9:21Speaker 1: to order something, talk to somebody. In two years, you
- 9:24Speaker 1: won't be talking to anybody in the store, and it
- 9:26Speaker 1: may not be anybody there, may all be replaced by
- 9:29Speaker 1: AI or whatever. In fact, here's a new study that
- 9:32Speaker 1: just came out. They expect to lose about one point
- 9:37Speaker 1: five trillion in household income people losing their jobs to AI.
- 9:43Speaker 1: And what jobs are most vulnerable to AI? What jobs
- 9:48Speaker 1: are most likely to be lost to AI? Well, number one,
- 9:51Speaker 1: Web and digital designers, web developers, database architects, computer programmers,
- 10:01Speaker 1: data scientists. So far, this is good. This doesn't affect
- 10:04Speaker 1: any of us. I don't think these are the jobs
- 10:06Speaker 1: are most going to be lost to AI. Financial risk specialists. Ah,
- 10:10Speaker 1: I don't even know what that is, but I know
- 10:12Speaker 1: I don't. Ah. Here's court reporters, court reporters. That yeah,
- 10:16Speaker 1: that could be all AI. Information security analysts. I don't
- 10:22Speaker 1: know what the hell that is. That's a good thing
- 10:24Speaker 1: to use. Anybody asks you what you do for a living,
- 10:26Speaker 1: just say I'm an information security analyst. It sounds great.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Nobody knows what the hell it is, but it sounds impressive.
- 10:33Speaker 1: A database administrator. I don't know what that is either,
- 10:36Speaker 1: but it sounds good. Medical record specialists that could be
- 10:39Speaker 1: lost too. Now what are the safest jobs? What jobs
- 10:43Speaker 1: do not have to worry about AI? Safest jobs? Now
- 10:47Speaker 1: this could change at some point, but right now, safest
- 10:49Speaker 1: job roof bolters and mining all right, number two, excavating
- 10:56Speaker 1: loading machine, number three, orderlies before coating, painting and spraying
- 11:02Speaker 1: machine setters. But see, at some point they'll figure out
- 11:05Speaker 1: how to have robots do this. Fiberglass laminator, surgical assistance. Okay,
- 11:11Speaker 1: now here's one. I think it's number nine, but I
- 11:15Speaker 1: think it's the one that's least vulnerable. Massage therapists. Massage therapist,
- 11:20Speaker 1: because even if you can get a robot to do it,
- 11:22Speaker 1: nobody's gonna want a roebut, they're gonna want a woman
- 11:24Speaker 1: doing it. Yeah, definitely, that's gonna be the safest. Hey,
- 11:28Speaker 1: speaking of Epstein, Bill Gates had a longtime science advisor,
- 11:34Speaker 1: you know, with a white coat and a bow tie. Well,
- 11:37Speaker 1: it turns out if you look him up in the
- 11:39Speaker 1: Epstein files, boy, this guy was as bad as Gates.
- 11:42Speaker 1: The science advisors right into Bill Gates right in Epstein
- 11:46Speaker 1: about women, this woman, that woman. He's asking for nude pictures.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Do you have any nude pictures? You consent? This is
- 11:52Speaker 1: the science advisor. The emails contained very explicit chatter. Bloomberg noted,
- 12:01Speaker 1: there's no evidence of any sex crimes with these guys,
- 12:04Speaker 1: but they both look pretty see. And this is Bill Gates'
- 12:08Speaker 1: top science advisor. He said they were at a dinner
- 12:11Speaker 1: with Epstein and a bunch of women and one of
- 12:14Speaker 1: them touched them under the table. Another one he's asking
- 12:20Speaker 1: if Epstein can send them some strippers. So this is
- 12:25Speaker 1: Bill Gates, this is his science advisor. Unbelievable. So, hey,
- 12:29Speaker 1: do you hear about that whale that washed ashore? Rockaway Beach?
- 12:34Speaker 1: Forty five foot whale washed ashore and everybody showed up
- 12:38Speaker 1: to take pictures. Apparently they believe the whale died in
- 12:42Speaker 1: a collision with a boat. A boat hit him, killed them.
- 12:45Speaker 1: The whale washed ashore. So everybody on the beach. This
- 12:49Speaker 1: is New York, you know, Long Island. They all ran
- 12:51Speaker 1: around us taking selfies in front of the whale. Scienceists
- 12:55Speaker 1: are warming warning, don't do that. If you see a
- 12:57Speaker 1: dead whale on the beach, get away. When a deceased
- 13:01Speaker 1: whale becomes beached, decomposition begins. The whale begins to bloat.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Sunlight can hasten the process. Gases are inside and the
- 13:10Speaker 1: whale at some point could explode. Yeah, a beach whale
- 13:14Speaker 1: in the sun will explode at some point and could
- 13:17Speaker 1: kill people or seriously injured, so do not get near
- 13:20Speaker 1: a whale. If you see at beach. Find something else
- 13:23Speaker 1: for your Instagram post. Hey, this has been the bonus
