  Speaker 1: This is to the Mark Simon show.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: I'm seventen wr.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Hey. Believe it or not, there's talk of bringing back
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: The Apprentice. Remember Donald Trump? The Apprentice. It started off
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: early two thousands, very early two thousands, and it became
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a big hit and next thing you know, it ran
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: fourteen seasons. Fourteen seasons. It was for a long time
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the number one highest rated show in television. It was
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the great producer, Mark Burnett that came up with it.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: He's the guy that came up with Survivor and that
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And he came up with Shark Tank,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: which is done in Los Angeles, and he was on
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: this show and we asked him about The Apprentice and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: he said, the way it came about was he had
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to travel. You know, Survivor he had to leave his
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: family go travel over all these crazy places, and then
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Shark Tank had to travel out to LA He wanted
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a show that would take place in New York City
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: so he didn't have to leave his family, so he
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: could be with his family. So he came up with
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: this idea, what's New York City. It's a lot of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: big corporations, business, executive skyscrapers. So he decided it'll be
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a business show. He came up with the whole concept,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: a top top top business ceo. I would be looking
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: for an apprentice and they'd all have to audition for
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a business thing. And I asked him, I said, well,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and how'd you come up with Donald Trump? He said, well,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: we came up the whole concept, and then we said,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: who's the most famous businessman in America? And was Donald Trump?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So he was the first choice and we couldn't believe it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: He said, yes. Now that's an important little fact there,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: because you'll hear all these left wing MSNBC types, all
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: or New York types, always claimed that Trump was just
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a reality host. Nobody knew him. It was the Apprentice,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the apprentices, and they keep making it sound like the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Apprentice adipole to him to know just the opposite. Again,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I said to Mark Burnett, what made you think of
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump? He said, well, we're looking for a businessman.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: He was the most famous businessman in America. So here's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the point of all this. There's talk, now, very serious
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: talk of bringing back The Apprentice. Now, obviously President Trump
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: can't do it, although knowing him, he would do it
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: if he asked me he'd probably want to do it,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: but he can't do It's the President United It's a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: little busy right now. So Don Junior would be the businessman.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: It would be The Apprentice with Donald Trump Junior. I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: can't rememorize it Netflix. I think I think it's Amazon.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: It's Amazon. I think it either Netflix or Amazon, but
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I think it's Amazon that's in talks to bring this back.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: They would probably do the same exact show, do it
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: at Trump Tower, same setup, although that conference room that
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you saw in The Apprentice wasn't the real conference room.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: That was actually a TV set. The real Trump conference
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: room looks a lot different. It's all Win knows. It's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: too tough to film in there. But it would be
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Don Junior, it would be The Apprentice. It would probably
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: be a huge hit. And now, of course it would
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: drive the left absolutely nuts. Now, if somebody owns The Apprentice,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I guess it's NBC. If they were smart, they would
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: just put it on the air Primetime, bring the Apprentice back,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: put it on. Now. Of course they hate Trump so
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: much they won't do that, but put it on. It
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: was a pretty good show. So Pete Hegsith is on
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: The Witness stand again. He's in hearings, congressional hearings, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: what they do. Democrats are great at this. Republicans stink
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: at hearings. They don't know what to do. Republicans can
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: hold a thousand hour hearing and there's never one second
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of anything you want to run. Democrats anytime to hold
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a hearing any ten minutes, there's explosive tax and vicious stuff.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: It goes viral. But they had Hexaf testifying. Actually, of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: course they were yelling and screaming and causing you to
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: going after him for every little thing.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Underground they're buried and we will watch you four steps.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And now he's trying to explain, how, well, how do
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: we get the nuclear material? What do you mean you're
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: gonna go get the nuclear material? It's it's buried underground.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: But he's trying to explain it. They're already yelling at him.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Underground, they're buried, and we will watch you a four
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: step so we know where any nuclear material be.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Claiming my time for watching second here. We had to
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: start this war. You just said sixty days ago because
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: the nuclear weapon was an imminent threat. Now you're saying
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: that it was completely obliterate.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Had not given up their nuclear ambitions, and they had
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: a conventional.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Shield of thousands of operation midnight and we com moment
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: nothing of substance in the point place we were before.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: It's possible that Democrat is actually that stupid. More likely
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: he's faking being that stupid. It's pretty simple to explain.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: When we did that, take out the nuclear reactors. We
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: come completely destroyed their nuclear reactors. That was it. It's gone.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: But when you wipe out a nuclear reactor, you're going
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to get some Trump calls it nuclear dust. It's some
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: nuclear waste that's underground. And they have also been trying
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to acquire and put together some nuclear material separate from that,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and they always claim it's for commercial use power energy,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: although you're an oil rich country, what do you need
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: nuclear energy? But when it's used for power energy commercial purposes,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the nuclear stuff is enriched to about twenty percent. When
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: it gets to ninety percent, it's a nuclear weapon. So apparently,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in the weeks before the war, we knew that Iraq
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: had enriched this stuff up to sixty percent, so it
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: was heading very close to weapons grade nuclear stuff. So
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that's why we had act when we did. Now it's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: not that complicated to figure out. We took out there.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: They're huge nuclear stuff we just complete. Now that's not
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to say that there's not going to be some little
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: nuclear materials somewhere. So the congressman just playing stupid, just
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: acting dumb, and they just kept going after a HEXA.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: The biggest challenge, the biggest adversary we face at this
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: point are the reckless, feckless, and defeatist words of congressional
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Democrats and some Republicans two months in, I remind you,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: two months in to a conflict.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently it's one of the things that Iran is
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: counting on that the left, they saw this in Vietnam.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: The left, the Democrats will rise up and break down
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the morale and nobody will be for the war and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: we'll give up that. That's what they're counting on now.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: It's cost us. I think about twenty five billions so far,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and they're yelling at them about the cost.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: The one point five trillion dollar f y twenty seven
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: budget put forward by the President will build upon the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: historic one trillion dollar f y twenty six top line
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and continue to reverse the four years of under and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: and mismanagement of the Biden administration.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, let's say cost twenty five billion, it's worth it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, our dream was to get rid of this
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: terrorist regime, the most evil regime in the world, the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: most evil terrorist sponsor in the world, looking for nuclear weapons.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: If you could do that for twenty five million, Hey,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: it was five billion, Obama would send it over on
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a pallet. But if it's twenty five billion. Also, you're
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: talking about, you know, killing their nuclear program. You're really
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: talking about stopping the next nine to eleven or if
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: it's nuclear, something far worse than nine to eleven, that's
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: certainly worth twenty five billion if we could stop If
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: we could have stopped nine to eleven for twenty five billion,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: we certainly would have paid it. Now, of course it's
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Democrats are going to yell it's a quagmire, was stuck.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Shame on you for that statement. And statements like that
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: are reckless to our troops. Don't say I support the
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: troops on one hand, and then a two month mission
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: is a quagmire. That's a false equivalation. Who you cheering
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: for here, who you're pulling for. Our troops are doing
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: incredible work, They've done incredible things for the entirety of
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: this mission and achieved incredible battlefield successes, and you sit
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: there and go on TV for your clickbait about quagmires.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: It is kind of funny because a quagmire that started
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in Vietnam where the war began in sixty three, sixty two,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: early sixties, and then ten years were there, ten years
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and more eleven years, that's a quagmar. This is a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, a few weeks, it's not even two
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: months yet, a quagmar. Absolutely ridiculous. Now, of course they're
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: going to go after eggs of these not competent And you.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Want to ask that question after you and your fellow
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Democrats defended Joe Biden who could barely speak, and this
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: week was now auto pen. We've got a secretary of
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Defense who went a wall for a week.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, remember that Biden had that awful Defense secretary, Lloyd Austin,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: who vanished a couple of times. Nobody knew where he was.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: He just went a wall for a few weeks. Now
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you could look at how excellent I don't know. He
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: doesn't look like a top guy. He looks kind of
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: goofy he looks, and the way he talks. He's a
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: little good. You could do all that, But under his
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: watch he has pulled off like nineteen of the most
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: unbelievable greatest military operations in history, from taking out those
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: nuclear sites in Iran to the Maduro raid, I mean,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: go on and on to the opening day of the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: war when they killed the entire leadership of Iran in
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: one shot. I mean, under his leadership, I don't know.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: It looks like he knows what it doing. Doesn't look
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: like meantime, he's Aaron Judge. He's like setting records for
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: home runs. He's just hitting grand slams left and right militarily. Hey,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: this crazy mom, Donnie. Now he's like a goofy college kid.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: He went to one of these Ivy League and doctrination
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: colleges where you come out of crazy socialist And you know,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: if you try to explain to them, like you know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: socialism has been tried fourteen times in every country in
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the world, it never works. They don't want to hear that.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: They don't care about that. They don't care if it works.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: It's it's just the idea of it. I love the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: idea of it. Now, the grocery store thing is insane.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: You talk to every major grocery store company. It costs
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: one million to three million to open a grocery store.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Let's say it's two million he's opening. It's not even
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a real grocery store. It's just a little dump of
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a room in this dumpy place up in Harlem. He's
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: talking about thirty million for this. The Whole Foods in
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: a Time Warner Center right over there, that's massive, did
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: not cost thirty million. The Wegmans that's coming to the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Upper West Side, it's not costing thirty million. This little
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: hole in the wall dump thirty millions, total waste of money.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: So we got to three three and a half more
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: years of this guy. It's going to be one incredibly
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: stupid thing after another. His latest one now is Park Avenue. Picked.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: That's your Park Avenue from fifty seventh Street all the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: way down to forty sixth Street. Fifty seventh Street, as
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: you head towards forty six that's the met Life building
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: used to be the pan Am building. That's Park Avenue.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: It's all skyscrapers, it's all business. There's the JP Morgan building,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: there's the Mutual of America building, It's all these skyscrapers,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Lever Building, there's the Brafman building. On the other side,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: there's the Rudent building. It's just a skysheit. It's all business.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: It's a business district, nothing else. And in the middle
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: of Park Avenue, it's very wide Park Avenue. They call
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it park Avenue because in the middle is a median
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: that has some grass and some flowers and some trees.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: It's very beautiful. So Mamdani now wants to take Park
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Avenue and completely chop it up, expand the median so
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it's bigger than the roads. Right now, you've got about
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: two three lanes on each side of Park Avenue. He
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: wants to cut that down to one lane each way
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and have an enormous park in the middle of each block.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And he said this will be good because people can stroll,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: they can sit in the park, they can have coffee there.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, just this is so incredibly stupid. About three
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: blocks away is Central Park, one of the most spectacular
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: parks in the world. If you want to go be
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: in a park, go over there. Who the hell wants
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to sit in the middle of Park Avenue and a
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: little patch of grass having their coffee. Now, first of all,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: he's gonna cut each side down to one lane each way,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: so it's going to be total gridlock. You're gonna hear
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: horns honking all the time. This is not the park
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you want to be sitting in. It makes absolutely no sense.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: It's going to cost a fortune. If it's one hundred
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: million dollar project, he'll spend five hundred million. But it's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: just absolutely crazy, insane, total waste of money. We have
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: to set up before Trump leaves. He's gonna have to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: set up some kind of government agency, some federal task
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: force that if you're overpaying like crazy for something, if
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: you're wasting zillions of dollars of tax payer money, they
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: can step in and stop the project right there. So
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: we'll see you. Here's that. You know. It's all started
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: when we found that learning center in Minnesota with it's
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: misspelled it says leering center that was like nineteen billion
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: in fraud stolen money by the way. Some reporters went
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to check it out. Apparently it's totally abandoned. The FBI
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: did a massive raid for the fraud. It's been totally abandoned.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Some reporters found some people in the neighborhood. There was
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a night watchman somewhere. It's been there for many years.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: He said he has never, ever, ever, once ever seen
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: any kid come and go out of that learning center.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Not a single child ever. Oh, there you go. And
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Vice President Vance also he's running a task force to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: go look at that stuff in Minnesota. And apparently Tim
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Waltz in some speeches sort of trying to take credit
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: for uncovering this, when actually Vance pointing out it was
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: not Waltz. It was the report of the uncovered. It's
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the federal government doing the crackdown, and Waltz has been
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of absolutely no help at all on it. All right,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: you didn't get invited to the state dinner for Prince
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: or King Charles, the King Charles state dinner, white tie
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: in tails. It looked quite amazing, white tie in tails,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the gold plate settings, the gold silverware, the gold trim,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the plates were absolutely magnificent. What did you miss? What
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: would you have eaten? Here's the menu? Now, knowing Donald Trump,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think he ate one thing here. He must
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: have had some cheeseburg or something hidden under the table,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: because the menu started with garden vegetable relute, which is
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: it says, a silken and aromatic soup, and again, knowing
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, I don't think he's looking for a silken
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: aromatic soup. Hearts of palm salad with toasted shallots or
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: shalots as they say in England, and micro mint. Then
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the second course was made with fresh herbs grown in
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the White House Garden. You know, go to a real
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: gourmet market, you get better fresh herbs. White House Garden.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think we grow the best fresh rbs. But
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: it was a ravioli with ricotta and morel mushrooms. Okay,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: that's passable. Third course dover soul moniere with spring ramps,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: snow peas, pove potatoes, and parsley oil. Again, I guarantee
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: that Donald Trump had a cheeseburger or a club sandwich
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: hidden under the table. Dessert was a beehive shaped chocolate
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: gatteau filled with vanilla bean crimw whatever the hell that is,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: an almond sponge, along with crim fresh ice cream and
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: White House honey. I guarantee you Donald Trump had a
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: cheeseburger and a big slice of chocolate cake hidden under
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the table and was actually eating that. Anyway, We'll take
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: some calls next eight hundred three two one zero seven
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: ten is the number eight hundred three two one zero
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: seven ten
