• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Lots to get to today important stuff. President Trump is finished.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: It's over. He's destroyed himself with the picture of Jesus,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: with the attack and the Pope. This is what you're
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: actually believing if you watch Morning Joe and the fake news.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I was watching Morning Joe scream for an hour about
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: attacking the Pope, starting a feud with thee Nobody has
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: ever had a fight with the Pope. It's unheard of.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: You can't. Hey, I hate to remind you, but Donald
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Trump did this about eight years ago with the other pope.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: He doesn't He's done it before. It's all going to
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: be forgotten about four weeks. Nobody's going to remember this.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: He's had fights with popees before. It doesn't affect anything
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: you remember at the time. Actually, it was about ten
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: years ago. He was running in the South Carolina primary.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: We've got a big verbal battle with the pope, then
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the then pope, and it was the South Carolina primary
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and these same talking ads. That's it. He's finished. He's
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: going to be wiped out now in South Carolina. The
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: number of Catholics there, they're a very religious The attacked
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the pope. It's it. He's going to be wiped out
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: South Carolina. It's over. His whole presidential bid is of
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: next day. He won South Carolina one big. This doesn't
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: affect anything. Normally, you shouldn't fight with the pope. In
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: this case, he's absolutely right. This pope, real left wing
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: political pope. He hate to see that. We like to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: see a nice, moral religious pope stay in his lane.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: But this pope defending the biggest terrorist regime on Earth.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can't believe it, but he, you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: see the left wing pope. So what are you gonna do.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: We believe strongly in law and order, and he seemed
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: to have a problem with that. So there's nothing to
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: apologize for. He's wrong.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a Mamdaniish sort of a pope. He defends
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the criminals, he defends Iran, he defends uh hey, By
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the way, there's a TikTok video that's come out that's
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: going viral. You won't see it on the network news,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: you won't see it in the fake news. It's an
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Iranian somehow he leaked this out from Iran. But it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: quite a powerful TikTok video. It's too long to play
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: on the air. You have to watch all things about
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: five minutes. But he explains that President Trump is not
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: at war with Iran or its people. The Trump is
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: at war. The United States is at war with the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: most brutal terrorist regime that's been terrorizing. He says, us,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the Iranian people, we've been brutalized and terrorists terrorized by
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: this regime. We are so excited that we might actually
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: be freed from this terrorist regime. It's quite a powerful video,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: even some liberals putting it up, even the crazy Lucy
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Arnez posting it saying, you know what it's made me think,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and maybe I've been a little hasty about all this. Anyway,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: The Pope picture, yeah, the Pope a fight, the Pope argument.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: It's all you're gonna hear for two days. In fact,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I was watching the NBC Nightly News last night the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: network news. Guess what the lead story was, the Pope
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and Donald Trump Trump attacks. This is the lead story.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: They're trying to make something out of this certainly was
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: not I it's something you might do in the newscast.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: It's not the lead story. But the war was like
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the fifth story. But it's all going to be gone
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: in a few weeks, just like the last time. You
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: got no with another pope. Now, the Jesus picture are terrible.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: You shouldn't do that, but he always does things you
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: shouldn't do. And I just you left wing Trump haters
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: out there, you just got to prepare yourself. You've got
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: to be realistic. You always do this. You get into this.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Now we got him, We've got him this time. This
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: is it. You just got to prepare yourself. About four
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: weeks from now, nobody is going to remember this. Maybe
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: two weeks from now, a week from now, it's going
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: to be over. Two weeks from now, nobody will remember it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Four weeks from now, if you bring it up, nobody
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: will know what the hell you're talking about. You shouldn't
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: do that. Jesus, he does this. You know, there are
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of guys that just love to stir things
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: up and get attention. But normally, normally it's some guy
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: on Twitter. Sometimes it's a radio host. Sometimes they're just
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: looking for attention, so they resort to some stunt, some gimmick,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: something trying to go viral, trying to get attention. You know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: you like these podcasters who are doing the show from home,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Megan Kelly or Tuck Across. They do that to try
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: to something outrageous so they can get get a lot
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: of headlines, get a lot of press, get a lot
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of Maybe it'll help that people do that, but it's
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: unusual for a president to do that. He loves doing this.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: He loves getting attention. Just when you've calmed down, just
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: when you've come down from Defcon one, he unleashes the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: next thing. So that was the Jesus picture. You probably
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: shouldn't do that Jesus picture and his explanation.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I did first it and I thought it was me
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: as a Red Cross worker.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: There, which we said, now, let's analyze that him as
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: a doctor. We've all been to a lot of doctors.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Normally they got a white coat on, Normally they got
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: some pens in the pocket the stuff that's going to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: know they've come in with this red thing around them
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and a big glowing light behind them. I don't know.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And was that a Red crossworker? I guess.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: And only the fake news could come up with that one.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: So I.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Just heard about it and I said, how did they
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: come up with that? It's supposed to be me as
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: a doctor making people better, and I do make people better.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I make people a lot better.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: All right, it's not the greatest explanation, but the guy
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: is president of the United States. You get a little
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: busy when you're the president of the United States. You know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: even when you're doing this show or you're on the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: air doing a show, you get very busy doing it
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and you try, you know, you're looking for content, stories, clips,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to play pictures. Sometimes you're busy. You got a lot
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: of things going on, so you look at the story quick.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe you read the first six paragraphs, but you didn't
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: read the last three. Maybe this video is very funny,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: watch about a minute. Yeah this is really funny, post this,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: but you didn't watch the last minute. So sometimes that happens.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: That's if you're just a normal person. You imagine the
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: president of the United States, in the middle of a war,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: in the middle of eight thousand things in that oval office,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: a thousand people coming, and you get too busy, you're not.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: He looked at it for a second and looked good.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: He posted. You know, if he thought it's not like
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: somebody else where, you'd look at it. Look at it
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: a couple hours later, show it to a few people.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: What do you think? None of that. It's a split
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: second decision. So you probably shouldn't have shouldn't have posted it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: It's so again, just prepare yourself if you're a Trump hater.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: In a couple of weeks, nobody will remember this. Nobody's
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: gonna remember the Pope fight. You remember. I think the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: first time this happened was when he made fun of
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: John McCain. That's the first time I saw him all
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: over the airwaves. This is it. He's finished, the end
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: of his career. That's it. Nobody even remembers this. A
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: lot of people listening that don't even know what I'm
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: talking about. He made fun of John McCain. Forget it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: It's a long time ago. So otherwise, it was very,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: very good day. The blockade of Iran is brilliant, brilliant.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Now we're in these negotiations. The only leverage Iran had
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: is the Straits of Hormuz. They keep them closed. Now
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the truth is behind the scenes, it's better for us
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: if they're closed because we don't use that oil. The
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: rest of the world uses that oil. We use our
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: own oil. So if it's closed, Ran can't make any
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: money because that's their revenue exporting oil. Straights of Hormose closed,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: they can't export anything, no revenue coming in. And as
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: long as it's closed, it was making us a lot
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: of money because many of those countries had to suddenly
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: start buying from us. With that closed, we were the
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: big supplier of oil, so we a lot of countries
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: started buying American oil for the first and so it
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: was helping us. So that was their leverage. Though it
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: looked bad, you know, having it closed, but we decided,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: you know what, we'll close it. And again it's the
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: scene from a Bronx tail with the bikers where he's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: trying to throw them out. Then finally he locks the door.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: He goes now you just can't leave. So that's what
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: we were doing with the Straits of Hormus. As long
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: as it's closed. Iran is in major trouble. There's no revenue.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: That straits of Hormus is ninety five percent of the
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: revenue of the country. The longer its shut, the more
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: problems they have. It will be totally out of money
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: pretty soon. Now. They got all kinds of problems already
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: in Iran. There's a water shortage, there's all things going on.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: The banks don't have any money. The whole financial system
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: is in jeopardy. If we keep thus straights closed, the
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: currency will collapse. It'll be the end of Iran. So
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: they have to negotiate. They'll have to come back to
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: the table. Hey, here's the only bad thing we've seen
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: in these negotiations. It's coming out now what the negotiation was.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Iran was agreed to no nuclear anything for five years,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: which is more than I thought they would ever I
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: agree to. But it turns out what we were asking
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: for was no nuclear anything of any kind for twenty years.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: But I don't like that at all. That's just kicking.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're talking about kicking the can down the road.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: That's kicking the can a lot farther down the road
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: than anybody ever did. But it's still kicking the can
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: down the road. It should be permanent, not twenty years.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: So I don't like that part of it. But they'll
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: get back to they'll get back to negotiating at some point.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: So and again, if you're watching the fake news, everything
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: is a disaster, even the New York Times, well, obviously
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the New York Times, but even the Wall Street Journal,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: you're getting totally deceived. If you read here's Gerard Baker.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Brilliant guy, A lot of respect for him, but but
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: here's his a big headline. For now at least, the
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Iran war seems to be failing. It's another one convincing
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: we're losing. It's I mean, Gerard Baker's like the New
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Tokyo Rose. Here the New York Times. The Iran blockade.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: It's a test of which side can endure more pain.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Well again, it's only a Ran that's enduring pain with
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: that blockade. We actually make more money with that blockade.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Everybody has to buy our oil now. But the New
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: York Times trying to scare everybody. Some oil companies are
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: planning now for one hundred and seventy five dollars a barrel.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: There's no oil company that's ever thought of one hundred
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and said they're worried it could go to one hundred
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: and ten. That's about it again, New York Times, Trump
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: administration backlash, Pope attack, the attack on the pope. The
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: backlash is unbelievable, all right now here, if you're reading
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the New York Times, you wonder how your liberal friends
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: get so insane. Bid a huge New York Times piece yesterday,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: President Trump's erratic behavior in recent days, more and more
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: people around him thinking that he must be removed from office,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: that he's gone completely crazy. Nobody thinks that around Susie
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Wilder doesn't think that. Scott Besson doesn't think he's erratic behavior.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: But the New York Times it's a very serious article,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: and they quote these professors with glasses and bow ties,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: and then they say Democrats, who've long challenged mister Trump's
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: psychological fitness, have issued a fresh chorus of calls to
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: invoke the twenty fifth And now here's the funny prop. Well,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: that's pretty funny. Here's the even funnier prop. Even Republicans
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: are questioning his extremely erratic behavior. Really, which republicans. We'll
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: let me look. If you look into the story, the
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Republicans are Marjorie Taylor Creen. So remember she was that
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: wacko congresswoman who had to quit. This is who they're
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: quoting as an authority. Then they quote Chuck Schumer. Mister
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Trump is an extremely sick person. Hakim Jeffreys, he's unhinged
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: and out of control. Well, you see, they've got excellent,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: unimpeachable sources there. Hey, Eric Swalwell is going to resign now.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: The emotion has been started to expel him from Congress,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: and the reason it looked like the expulsion could be
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: very successful. So the reason he has to resign. If
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: you're expelled, you get nothing. If you resign, you keep everything,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: your pension, the money, healthcare, the whole thing. So that's
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: why he will resign first, to keep all the money
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: to pension, everything. He's got big problems though. He's still
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: facing major criminal charges here in Manhattan. Alvin Bragg has
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: indicted him, so he's got to deal with that. If
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: you look through all these allegations, looks like very serious stuff.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: And it's pretty clear in Congress, the Democrats, even the Republicans,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: they knew about it. They knew about his behavior. It
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: was well known he was as Mooe Green would say,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: banging cocktail waitresses too at a time. But even worse
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: than that, harassing women all over the place. Many Republicans
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: and Democrats in Congress sing, everybody knew, don't let him
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: anywhere near any of your female staffers. And horrible, horrible situation,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: you know. And then you got this other. This is
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: a Republican Tony Gonzalez. He's got to quit an affair
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: lewde texting scandal, and it was so bad with one staffer.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Are you talking about a bad breakup? This is the
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: worst breakup I've ever heard about. He's harassing this woman.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know. He's having an affair with the woman
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: having an affair. Whatever happened, she was so upset she
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: set herself on fire. She went in her backyard and
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: set herself on fire and burned up in the flame.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Now that's that's about the worst breakup I've ever heard about.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Her widow, they were both married. I guess it's going
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: after Gonzales and he's demanding that he'd be held accountable.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: He'll have to leave. And then now he's from Texas,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Republican Governor Hill the point another Republican, same thing, with
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Swall Wealdy's from California. So the governor, a Democrat, will
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: replace them with another Democrat. So it doesn't change the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: makeup of Congress. But these guys that you know, part
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: of the prom in Congress. A lot of these guys
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: get elected and they go to Congress and the family
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: generally is back home and they you know, you don't
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: make a lot of money in Congress, but you got
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of expense because you've got to live in
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: your home district and you got to live in Washington,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: d C. It's very tough to have two residences. So
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of them sleep in their office. I mean,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: it's unbelievable. They sleep in their office six in the morning.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: You can see them going into the bathroom to shave
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: and brush their tea. It's awful. Some of them, they
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: you know, roommate up and get like seven of them
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: in one little apartment. It's a lonely existence for a
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: lot of these guys, away from their family Monday through Friday,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: and that's what happens. They get involved with staffers, they
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: get lonely, they get involved with women. The lobt throw
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: dozens of great looking women at him. You go to
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: any big event Washington, you know there's tables are ten
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: all over the room. You always see one table it's
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: got three or four the hottest looking twenty somethings you've
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: ever seen sitting with a bunch of creepy old men,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: and you know right away that's the lobbyist table. The
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: lobbyists go to these events and they bring some really
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: hot looking women, which gets everybody to come over to sale,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: over to their table, and they introduce the congressmen to
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: these hot looking women, and it's one of the ways
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: they lure them in to their lobbying firm to get
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: things done. Anyway, Well, hey, we'll take some calls in
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: a moment. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: seven ten.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Get instant access to Mark by setting a pre set
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: in the iHeartRadio app for his live show and his podcast.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simone show on Loaway.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Let's take the call. Let's go too. Let's go to
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Loretta in Beautiful Rye, New York. Loretta, how you doing okay?
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: How are you good?
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: I'd like to comment on the pope. We need an
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: exorcism in Rome. I'm sick of these priests coming out
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: with all this crap instead of taking care of the
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Catholic Church and doing what they're supposed to do. I
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: don't think this is going to affect Trump in any way.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: I know many many people feel that this is terrible
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: what they do.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, the pope totally inappropriate. Just stay in this lane.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: You know, it has no effect on President Trump. He
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: did this before with the last pope a few years ago,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: same thing. This is it. He's finished. You can't fight
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: with a pope, Yes you can. It's terrible you would
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: have to. But again, pope totally out of line, defending
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the biggest terrorist regime on Earth. Let's go to Kay
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: in Manhattan, K.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: How you doing, Hello, Well, thank you Mark. I just
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: have to say that this pope is very similar to
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: his predecessor Francis, and I do not think the curious
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: Catholics have a lot of respect, have a lot of respect,
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: or have a lot of respects for.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: This pope.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: As you're saying, it's true he's very left leaning and
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: that's not what a pope is, what a real pope is.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: And when you can think of the suffering in Iran,
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: the suffering of the hangings, the torture, what they do
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: to the women. What is this pope defending? What is
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: he talking about? There is such a thing as a
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: righteous war.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, him, hypocrisy. They left this famous for he is
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: the pope, He's still the pope. But you're right, and
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: that's a good point, k Yeah, and he should you know.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: And the big argument against him is where the hell
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: was he for the last four or five months when
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Iran was slaughtering people in the streets. They shot thirty
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: thousand protests, shot them right in the streets. Some of
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: them didn't die, They ended up in the hospital. This
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: is absolutely true. They sent the Republican guard into the hospital,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: the ones that were alive and in the hospital. They
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: sent the Republican Guardian to the hospitals to shoot these
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: patients right in their bed. Where was this pope then,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: totally silent about that. Let's go to rich Myrtle Beach Rich,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Hey? Thanks Mark. These lovely women have pretty much toole
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: my thunder. I mean, it even proves that even the
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: Pope isn't immune from TDS syndrome, you know what I'm saying.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: So it's all about that you know, and the Catholic Church. Listen,
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: I'm preface it by saying, you know, I was raised Catholic,
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: but I haven't been to church since I was like
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: sixteen years old. But you know, every generation is getting
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: fed up and more fed up with the pope as
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: they become more political. Instead of just doing what they're
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: supposed to be doing, they're becoming more woke and more
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: left leaning, instead of being a conservative organization like the
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Catholic Church always was. And as far as this uh
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: swallwell thing is concerned, nobody could call them out because
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: every single one of them is guilty the same thing.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: That's why that even my kookie congresswoman down here, Nancy Mace,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: had the right idea of putting up that bill to
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: expose all of them, and they don't have to go.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it is a mess. The worst people in
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Congress Democrats and Republicans, a lot of bad sleeves balls
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: in Congress. Hey, and not all Catholic leaders are back.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: You look at the Cardinal Dolan. That's an example of
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: how you should behave. He was outspoken on everything except politics.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: He stayed out of partisan politics or that sort of stuff.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Pat Scarsdale, Pat, how you doing?
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: Hey?
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: Mark.
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: Nora o'donald this morning on the CBS show was going
• 20:43
  Speaker 9: over all of the Catholics that are in the cabinet,
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: and her contention was that this thing is going to
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: hurt Trump on the midterms. Now, our family. I just
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: want to say, my family, we're all called carrying Catholics,
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: and everyone is furious at the Pope, not Trump.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, it's it's Nora o'donald. That's Nora o'donald.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: They've been doing the lead story on the nightly news
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: last night, the Pope, the fight, the few of the President.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Trump attacked the Pope. We've been through this before with
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: the previous Pope and President Trump. It'll be forgotten about
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: in two weeks. Nobody will remember it. Let's go to
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Bob and New Rochelle. Bob, how you doing?
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Oh good?
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Mark?
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: I just want to thank the dear Lord. Every now
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: and then he throws us a bone. Years ago it
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: was Elliot Spitzer, and then it was Anthony Wiener, and
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: now it was the testable O Swallow. I don't normally
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: take join people's I'm doubtful, but he's just so unlikable.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he is one slimy guy, this swallow. When you
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: read these accounts and the things that are uh that
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: have come out, it's just horrible. Now, remember he can
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: resign from Congress, which will save his pension and all that.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: But he's facing criminal charges in New York City. It's
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Alvin Bragg who But the all looks very orchestrated. It's
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: taken out Eric Swalwell. It looks paid for, packaged. All
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: these allegations which people knew about for years, all of
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: a sudden exploding at once, this criminal case. And it
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: looks like it's coming from the Democratic side of the
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: aisle for whatever reason, they want this guy gone, so
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: he's not out of the woods. Got to get through
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: these criminal charges in Manhattan. Hey, when we come back,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: we always bring you the smartest people on earth. Steve
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Forbes will be with us next and get a lot
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: to talk about with Iran and oil prices, the economy
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: and all that. Will get to that next on seven
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: to ten. Wor mister New York Mark Simone war Well.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Steve Forbes, the chairman of Forbes Media and author of
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: many great books. You should get his latest book, Inflation.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: You will really learn a lot. Highly recommended Steve Forbes's
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: latest book, Inflation. You can get it on Amazon course
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: read Forbes Media. Steve Forbes, how you doing.
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: Doing fine? Thanks? I'm in Arkansas today, sunny Arkansas, so
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: I think they have warm weather here. You have warm
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: weather there. So, And the Yankees won a game last night,
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: so a little close, eleven to ten. Judge had two
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: home runs, so life could be worse.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I hate to ask, but what are you doing in Arkansas?
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: Speaking at Harding University by Young Americans for Freedom and
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: great great conservative group, right thinking groups. So yeah, it's
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: nice to be in company of enlightened people.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And Steve Forbes, by the way, one of the
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: great speakers in America. If you need somebody to make
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: a great speech for you, for whatever organization. But hey,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: the blockade of the Straits of horn Moves is so brilliant.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Why didn't we think of that three weeks ago?
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: It should have been done at the beginning and things
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: thinking things through. They should have planned what would be
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: the reaction of China, Deal with that, reaction of Russia.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Deal with that.
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: But if Iran was going to close the strait, then
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: they'll say Okay, it's closed, everybody, and if you want
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: to get through, we'll let's come through. But we're going
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: to control that, so better late than never, And I
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: hope there's going to be some consistency now. And I'll
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: be blunt, I think we're going to have to resume
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: hostilities before we get a resolution of this conflict.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Sadly, you know what was leaking out from those negotiations.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't really like that Iran wanted five years of
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: no nuclear activity. We wanted twenty years. Why would we
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: want twenty years? Why wouldn't we want permanent? Isn't this
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: just more kicking the can down?
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: Permanent like two thousand years? Yeah, and regime change in between.
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: Get a government that had the aspirations that people in
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: mind not. They're crazy, crazed, id, murderous ideology. You're right,
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: no five year, no twenty year thing. They made those
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: promises kind of promises before and they're not even worth
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: the paper they're written on.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: But if we were to walk away with a deal
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: like that, twenty years with a timeline, that's a very
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Obama is sort of a Ran deal, isn't it.
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: It's embarrassing, Yes, it is. Obama of two. John Kerry
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: would be in his mind vindicated. Worse though, it would
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: be seen mark as a victory for the extremists in Iran.
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: They faced all of this firepower from the United States
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: and from Israel. They survived and they didn't have to
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: give up the nuclear program. Everyone knows as soon as
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: the world's attention goes elsewhere, they're going to start doing
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: stuff they shouldn't do. And they're encouragible. They are dedicated revolutionaries.
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: They may be corrupt, but they are dedicated revolutionaries. So
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: doing letting that regime survive and having a timeline nuclear
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: weapons is a victory for them. They've lost militarily, but
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: they're going to win politically, and we cannot let that happen.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Well, things will change, things change very fast in this situation.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: But again, that blockade is brilliant. It's even forcing some
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: other countries now to buy oil from US.
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: So well, we've got some oil coming from a place
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: called the last they look Venezuela. This is coming on
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: the market now and they're being able to rev that up.
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: But I just think and the President has to keep
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: making clear and the people have to keep making things clear.
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: This thing may take two weeks, two days, two months,
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: or whatever it takes. Given the danger that Iran posed
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: to our security, This is ultimately about our security. You
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: don't want a fanatical regime with missiles that were capable
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: of reaching the US, which they are making huge progress
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: on being able to make nuclear weapons very quickly. That
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: is an intolerable threat. And we know they'd use it
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: for blackmail. Then we know they'd probably use it against
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: Israel and say what are you going to do about it?
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: So we got to get that regime out. And the
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: sacrifices we make now are a fraction of what would
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: happen if that regime got nuclear weapons and the missiles
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: to reach.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: The rest of the world. Yeah. Now, Steve Forbes, China,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: if they're secretly helping Iran or working against us by aiding,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: or if we could figure out then I'm sure President
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Trump ken at some point figured out something that would
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: be beneficial to China. That would end that, wouldn't it.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: They don't have any real loyalty to Iran, do they they?
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: What if we could, if the President could figure out
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: some way something really beneficial for China and all of this,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: they would drop their secret support of Iran, wouldn't they.
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: I'm not so sure that China does.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Is not.
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: China's out to will become the dominant power in the world.
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: And one of the things we've allowed to happen is
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: they're continuing to build these man made islands in the
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: South China Sea.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: They want to.
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: Control that the way the Ranians want to croach control
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: the Straight of hor Moves, and we have to make
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: it very clear that's not going to happen. And that's why,
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: again it's very important we're doing what we're doing in
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: the Straight or Hormoves. No one's going to control that.
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: Bad guys are not going to control that freedom of
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: the seas. It's been a bedrock of American policy for
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: over two hundred and thirty years and that's going to continue.
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: And so in terms of a China, I think we
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: have to make it clear we have there our interests
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: and we're going to defend those interests. They're not going
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: to become the global dominant power and they're not going
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: to take over the South China Sea. And again people
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: may say, oh, that's warlike, No it isn't. They're the aggressors,
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: not us. Americans would like nothing better than a peaceful world.
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: We can go to powd of doing our business, creating
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: great things moving ahead. But we've got bad guys in
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: the world.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Hey, Steve Forbes, the Moon mission really inspiring. It's fascinating
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: to what is it really necessary right now? What are
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: the real benefits of us going back to the moon.
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: Well, in terms of the technological feet, it's fantastic, as
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: we all known, people have never traveled as far as
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: those four astronauts did six hundred and ninety five thousand miles.
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: But unfortunately, the hell of war is coming to the heavens.
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: The weapons are being developed, the Chinese are doing it.
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: We're going to have to do it where they can
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: actually store weapons in space and aim them at the
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: United States, aim them at the specific targeting. This is
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: what's so frightening, only specifically targeting infrastructure projects, roads, electricity plants,
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: every sensitive thing from space. You don't even need nuclear
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: weapons to have a real disaster. So we have. It's
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: the new frontier. Sadly of war fair and so we
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: have to stay ahead of the Chinese on that. And
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: it's sad, but that's where we are. The heavens are
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: going to be a place of a warfare. Sadly, we
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: got to stay ahead of the Chinese.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Excellent point. Yeah, hey, you got a lot of too
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: far to the left sort of leaders from Mom Donnie
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: to Virginia is a good example of the Spamburger and
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: this could affect the midterms. There are people getting a
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: little dose of real left wing leadership and there's.
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: A little bit of a yeah, the Republican should hammer that.
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: And we got a little bit of it in New Jersey.
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: These people. Donnie didn't run as a moderate, but those two,
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: those two governors Spenburger and Mikey Cheryl in New Jersey
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: ran a promise or ran as moderates, and as soon
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: as they get in they run far left. Spenburger in
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: Virginia thinks she's going to be the next vice president
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: of president of the United States, but you know, her
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: numbers are cratering. And April twenty first, they have a
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: referendum for this crazy thing where they're going to obliterate
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: GOP representation in Congress. Right now, Virginia six Democrats, five Republicans.
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: They've rejiggered it so it would be ten Democrats one Republican.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: But they have to do it.
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: By a referendum, and it looks like, given her unpopularity,
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: that referendum may go down to defeat. And in terms
• 31:23
  Speaker 8: of Mom Donnie, he announced the other day a thirty
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: million dollar grocery store next year in East Harlem. Grocery
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: store costs it most in New York, one million dollars
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: to set up. Where's that out of twenty nine million going?
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: And another question for this neo communist mayor, when people
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: come into his grocery store and start stealing the food,
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: is he going to arrest them? Well, what's he going
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: to do When people start taking that food? They're going
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: to say it's free. You know, he's giving it away.
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: What's he going to do about it? That's going to
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: be quite something to see. Hey, the other thing he
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: said it'll be won't be till open till twenty twenty.
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: You know, if you went to our friend John Katsumatisa,
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: could you build a supermarket there, I guarantee you'd be
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: there in three months, not twenty twenty nine. Sure. Sure.
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: So everyone's you know, as you know, mont Donnie's hiring
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: all these people doing god knows what but being paid
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: six figure salaries. So the waste is going in high gear,
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: going on steroids again. Grocery story you could do for
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: two hundred and fifty thousand million dollars. And by the way,
