  Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simon Show on WR. Well,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten. Let's go to Bob in Mottvale, New Jersey. Bob,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: how you doing, Bob?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Hello, let's go Bob.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry takes for taking my call.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: You know, you keep broadcasting that the two governors and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Mandani were at the soccer game.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: But contractually, does that mean they got paid?
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: No?
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Now, why would they be at the soccer games from
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the contract?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's supposed to help promote the soccer. It's good
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: for business, it's good for tourism, brings in a lot
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of revenue, a lot of money. So you have both
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to go there and you pretend that you're interested and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you're watching it. It's a all right when you're a
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: governor or mayor. I mean, it's a lot of great
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: parts of the job. But then you got to sit
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: through a lot of stuff. Now, Mom, Donnie might be
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a soccer fan growing up where he did but I'm
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: a feeling that Kathy Hochel is not a soccer fan,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and she has the attention span of like a mosquito,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: So I really don't think she wants to sit there
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: for a couple of hours. But usually there's a lot
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of people that you can mingle with. You know. People
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: think it's if you could be the mayor of New York. Wow,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you can be the governor. Sounds pretty powerful, glamorous. But
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: half the day you're meeting with the water Commission, you're
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: meeting with you got to go through some town hall
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: in the Bronx. It's it's got a lot of stuff
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: in that job you really wouldn't want to do. Let's
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: go to Mike and Saint James. Mike, how you doing far?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: And Mork?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Thank you?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Ipoortan't the question for the Iran situation is Lloyd's of
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: London ensuring just ships.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the problem. We can open the straight or
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: declare it open and say that the US Navy will
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: escort you through the Strait. You'll have nothing to worry about.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: But they still can't go unless the insurance company says okay.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And that's Lloyd's of London for most of these tankers,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and the tanker, the tanker, the actual ship costs a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: couple of million, and there's millions of dollars worth of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: oil on the ship. So Lloyd's of London has been
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: saying no, that's part of the problem because they'd be
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: on the hook for five, six, seven million dollars if
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: anything happens to the ship, so they're not given the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: okay that fast. We've gotten some ships to go through,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and we have been pushing Lloyd's of London to allow
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: some ships to go through. So it's not the usual
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: traffic flow, but there are ships going through the Strait
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: of Horn Moose. Let's go to Jay in New Jersey. Jay,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark, good morning. You know, we don't even report
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: anymore about the Fellows trying to kill the president. You know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: yesterday this guy comes to the White House with a
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: gun and that's not even news anymore. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, Well,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: we did find out if it was a bigger deal.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It was reported. That's how you knew about it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it would have been a much bigger deal
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: if it was a different president. Trump gets shot out
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: every day.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Well, the guy didn't come close to actually doing anything.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: But uh yeah, it happens too frequently. There's all kinds
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of nuts roaming around there around the White House. Let's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: go to Randall in Maryland. Randall, how you doing, Mark.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: It's something that's bothered me about the Butler assassination attempt. Yeah,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the when the shots rang out, the shot that hit
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Trump was what's a matter of seconds before the shot
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that killed the assassin?
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: That worked.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you a better question. This is
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a good question. And I see you're watching the assassin
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and you're wondering about this. So what did you say
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to yourself? You know what? I really want to know this,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: but I'll wait two years before I call and ask.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Actually a little late to.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Be well, yes, that's a lot late, but I still
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: don't have an answer.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Well, who if you have an asking?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Well, well, why is the timeline between those two shots,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the shots that killed the assassin and the one that
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: said Trump. If it's only a matter of seconds, how
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: did they draw a bead on the guy? Uh?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a good question. Now I'm trying to remember
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: it was you got to call like the next week,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: not two years later. I'm trying to remember there was
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a local police on the ground coordinating with the Secret Service.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: There were snipers on other rooftops. Apparently after the shots
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: were fired, there was chaos, but a couple of local
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: cops realized what rooftop it was, radio does snipers. They
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: took their scopes, looked at the rooftops, saw the assassin,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and then killed him. Now you're supposed to check out
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the rooftop before this even starts. It was a tremendous
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: error by the Secret Service because.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: But it was bang bang. It was just bang bang.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: It was like a choice player first.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, these guys are good, they're pretty quick, but
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to That was pretty good. Yeah, but you're
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: supposed to check out all the rooftops ahead of time.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: The rule is for the Secret Service's supposed to scope
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: out a thousand yards in every direction, and this building
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: was like two hundred yards out. So they obviously didn't
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: do their job. This was the Biden Secret Service. Not
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to blame it, not him, but you can put some
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: blame in that area because he when he was vice president,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: there was a Secret Service agent that he liked a lot,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: just she became like part of the family. So when
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: he became president. He made her the director of the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Secret Service. She was not really qualified. And if you
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: were wasted Butler, you saw those those young agents, remember
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: those two females who were They seemed to go into panic.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: They were just flailing around the president. And then remember
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they couldn't holster their weapon. They looked awful. It took
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: too long to get him in the car. It took
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: too long for the car to speed away. Took at
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Reagan getting shot outside the Hilton in Washington. He was
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: in the car and gone within three seconds. In the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: case of Trumpet, was like a minute and a half.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Way too long there. Hey, when we come back. The
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: brilliant columnist Liz Peak, we'll talk to her next on
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: seven to ten wor
