- 0:29Speaker 1: Fantastic. How are you, Mark Simone?
- 0:31Speaker 2: I'm good. Last night, good night for the Republicans. A
- 0:36Speaker 2: lot of good victories, don't you think?
- 0:40Speaker 1: I didn't see what happened in North Carolina.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Oh, she just woke up.
- 0:45Speaker 1: South Carolina.
- 0:45Speaker 2: South Carolina. Darlene Graham won. Won big.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Oh, no.
- 0:51Speaker 2: You're not a fan.
- 0:54Speaker 1: She really won big? Well, it wasn't, you know... a
- 0:58Speaker 1: profusion of choices. They are embarrassment of riches. Um, neither
- 1:03Speaker 1: of them were that great, but man, well, I'm against
- 1:08Speaker 1: this sister of wife of, you know, run a campaign.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Well, the good news is she'll vote conservatively on every issue.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Unlike Lindsay girl would go either way. You never know
- 1:18Speaker 2: what he would do.
- 1:19Speaker 1: That's a good point. I consider who she's replacing.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Hey, uh, did you hear our crazy governor? Kathy Hochul,
- 1:28Speaker 2: she and the legislature passed a law that no local
- 1:31Speaker 2: police are allowed to cooperate with ICE. Now, listen to
- 1:34Speaker 2: the first sentence she says here.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Local police will assist ICE only if a real crime
- 1:40Speaker 1: has been committed.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Now, what does that mean?
- 1:46Speaker 1: I love this, that liberals are going to decide what
- 1:48Speaker 1: a real crime is. It's like... Susan Estridge's book, Real Rape,
- 1:57Speaker 1: suggesting that when, you know, that whole date rape thing that, oh, no,
- 2:02Speaker 1: that's just the same as as a stranger jumping out
- 2:06Speaker 1: from behind the bushes. No, no, that really is. But
- 2:09Speaker 1: a crime is a crime. And ICE isn't wasting its
- 2:12Speaker 1: time on, I don't know, jaywalkers.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you it is if you broke into
- 2:17Speaker 2: the country illegally and you're here illegally, isn't that a
- 2:20Speaker 2: real crime, too?
- 2:22Speaker 1: Yes, it is. Yes, it is. It's one that the
- 2:25Speaker 1: American people are quite upset about, I might add. That's
- 2:28Speaker 1: the main crime the voters would like Trump to be enforcing.
- 2:33Speaker 1: You think that's what she means? Absolutely not to help
- 2:36Speaker 1: them enforce just being here illegally?
- 2:39Speaker 2: Yeah, she's saying that's not a real crime. You can
- 2:42Speaker 2: only cooperate on a real crime, just here illegally.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Well, on the other hand, I mean, every state official
- 2:49Speaker 1: in New York doesn't think you know, rape and murder
- 2:52Speaker 1: are real crimes. Well, maybe murder, maybe murder, but muggings,
- 2:58Speaker 1: pushing somebody in front of a subway, harassing people, chasing
- 3:01Speaker 1: them down the sidewalk, breaking and entering, those are all
- 3:05Speaker 1: slap-on-the-wrist crimes. So if we're using Kathy Hochul's and D.A.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Bragg's interpretation of, quote, real crime, it pretty much comes
- 3:15Speaker 1: down to, well, okay, I'll give them murder and terrorism.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Yeah. And did you watch Al-Sayed on TV the other
- 3:24Speaker 2: night talking about how ISIS is running around shooting people
- 3:27Speaker 2: in the face? What was he talking about?
- 3:29Speaker 1: I guess they're really obsessed with the whole Minnesota thing.
- 3:36Speaker 1: I don't think anybody was shot in the face. I
- 3:41Speaker 1: like his comparison of clitorectomies and gender operations poisoning and
- 3:49Speaker 1: mutilating little kids. to simply being circumcised. That was good.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's like if the Iranians chop your arm
- 3:58Speaker 2: off and he would say, well, you get a manicure,
- 4:01Speaker 2: don't you? That's the same thing.
- 4:05Speaker 1: That's a very good comparison, yes. Yeah, I don't think
- 4:09Speaker 1: he's doing so well. Though there was a lot of
- 4:14Speaker 1: hope for him among the progressives. I mean, I guess
- 4:16Speaker 1: we'll see. but he seems to be bungling a lot
- 4:20Speaker 1: of things recently.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, Ann Coulter, I don't know if you heard this.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton is speaking at something yesterday, and they asked
- 4:26Speaker 2: her about these Democratic socialists and figuring she'll denounce it.
- 4:30Speaker 2: She didn't. She kind of embraced it. She said, like,
- 4:32Speaker 2: it's a wonderful experiment. What is she embracing that for?
- 4:35Speaker 2: Is she thinking that's going to help her run in 2028?
- 4:38Speaker 1: I get the impression from a lot of these Democrats,
- 4:44Speaker 1: it's like, It's like your parents trying to be cool.
- 4:48Speaker 1: They think this is what the young kids like.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Well, that's kind of what you said.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I don't really get that crazy music they're listening to,
- 4:56Speaker 1: but let's offer them a cocktail and say we want
- 4:58Speaker 1: to smoke some weed. It just seems really sort of embarrassing. Yeah.
- 5:08Speaker 2: So, hey, you wrote this book, Demonic, and we were
- 5:11Speaker 2: talking about this last week at Democrats always have to
- 5:14Speaker 2: find some evil boogeyman and run against that. And is
- 5:19Speaker 2: it now the data centers? You know, they act like
- 5:21Speaker 2: they're nuclear plants or some of these data centers. We
- 5:24Speaker 2: have to live in fear of them.
- 5:26Speaker 1: I am so glad you mentioned that. No, it's really nuts.
- 5:32Speaker 1: I can't get to the bottom of it, but it
- 5:34Speaker 1: seems to me it's based on At least from what
- 5:37Speaker 1: I've read of the history about this. Well, one thing,
- 5:40Speaker 1: and I don't like this on my side. I don't
- 5:42Speaker 1: care if you call it, quote, populism. It's hatred of
- 5:45Speaker 1: people who are rich. I'm not rich. I'm not a billionaire.
- 5:49Speaker 1: I'm not a centimillionaire. But I think it's fantastic that
- 5:53Speaker 1: people like Jeff Bezos and even the Google guys. Google's
- 5:58Speaker 1: pretty great. they've done great things to improve all of
- 6:03Speaker 1: our lives. And a lot of it, I think, is envy.
- 6:06Speaker 1: I talked about this on my podcast on Monday. I
- 6:11Speaker 1: also figured out that global warming is all about envy.
- 6:15Speaker 1: They were so happy about all these billionaires' houses around Manchin, Miami. Ha, ha, ha,
- 6:21Speaker 1: global warming. They're all going to be underwater. So part
- 6:24Speaker 1: of it, I think, is hate of the rich. But
- 6:26Speaker 1: the other thing is, Some of the AI, you know, founders, promoters,
- 6:33Speaker 1: whether it's to get more investment in their little projects
- 6:39Speaker 1: or just because they want people to find them fascinating
- 6:43Speaker 1: and ask them, no, tell us how AI is going
- 6:46Speaker 1: to destroy humanity. It's absurd, Marc Simone. It's utterly, imposterously absurd.
- 6:51Speaker 1: And I've been running, whoa, we are a long way
- 6:54Speaker 1: off from it. AI taking over some gigantic chunk of jobs.
- 6:59Speaker 1: They'll take over a bunch of jobs. Well, so did
- 7:01Speaker 1: the internet. So did the computer. I mean, what happened
- 7:05Speaker 1: to travel agents? What happened to journalists? Oh, well, we adjusted.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Would anybody say the internet not made all of our
- 7:12Speaker 1: lives better? And if you look at the capacity of
- 7:15Speaker 1: AI now, I'm always sending these out on my subsection,
- 7:18Speaker 1: just like basic questions you ask Google AI or Brock,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and they can't find them. I can find them. They
- 7:26Speaker 1: long to you. It's preposterous, some of the answers you get.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Yeah. But just the fear of the data center. They
- 7:34Speaker 2: use a lot of electricity. That problem can be solved.
- 7:38Speaker 2: The water, they use too much water.
- 7:39Speaker 1: They don't really, by the way. They tend to generate
- 7:42Speaker 1: their own, and of course they pay for it. But
- 7:45Speaker 1: they do a lot of self-generation. Same thing with the water.
- 7:48Speaker 1: They rerun the water through the same plants. Yeah. I mean,
- 7:53Speaker 1: I keep hearing that they're going up right next to,
- 7:56Speaker 1: you know, beautiful farms and farmland. Well, I don't know. Maybe.
- 8:01Speaker 1: I don't think most of them are. And that seems
- 8:03Speaker 1: like kind of an easy solution if it's just a
- 8:07Speaker 1: matter of real estate. Okay, move it to an uglier
- 8:10Speaker 1: industrial part of town.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the only real problem, they do make noise.
- 8:15Speaker 2: There's a low hum. There's a loud hum. There's the
- 8:18Speaker 2: sound of a turbine. But so what? I mean, just
- 8:21Speaker 2: put them somewhere else. But people live near airports.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Yes.
- 8:27Speaker 1: No, airports, great comparison. Great comparison. Yeah, okay. Don't put
- 8:32Speaker 1: them quite so close. You want them close because you
- 8:34Speaker 1: want your data being stored. And this is what makes
- 8:37Speaker 1: the world go around. I just think all of these,
- 8:41Speaker 1: and I will add this, this is also in... demonic,
- 8:45Speaker 1: I believe it was demonic, that an aspect of this
- 8:49Speaker 1: groupthink and mobthink is a fear of inventions and newness,
- 8:58Speaker 1: as you mostly see with liberals. They want us to
- 9:01Speaker 1: go back to farming like we're in colonial times. We
- 9:06Speaker 1: have to get rid of indoor plumbing and use, what
- 9:11Speaker 1: do they call that? Clivus multrum? And what's that crazy
- 9:16Speaker 1: thing going on in New York where you're supposed to
- 9:18Speaker 1: be composting food from your tiny little Manhattan apartment? No,
- 9:26Speaker 1: we have things called trash compactors, you complete idiots. So
- 9:32Speaker 1: I'm very much against this hysteria over progress and innovation.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Every innovation, every invention has always been said, oh, humans,
- 9:42Speaker 1: we're going to have nothing to do. It's the end
- 9:44Speaker 1: of humanity. And it's never, ever happened. Going back to
- 9:48Speaker 1: the wheel.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Hey, also, Democrats, they one by one, they alienate every
- 9:53Speaker 2: part of their base. They got rid of factory workers
- 9:55Speaker 2: who have now become Republicans. A lot of minorities now
- 9:58Speaker 2: supporting the Republicans. Aren't they alienating the whole Silicon Valley,
- 10:02Speaker 2: the tech guy? They're alienating them. That was their biggest
- 10:05Speaker 2: financial backers.
- 10:07Speaker 1: That's a good point. I hope so. I'm always dubious
- 10:12Speaker 1: of a lot of these very wealthy people because... So
- 10:17Speaker 1: many of the, and I'm not engaging in the wealth
- 10:20Speaker 1: and myself, you know, good for them for the money,
- 10:22Speaker 1: but just so many rich people are very liberal. And
- 10:26Speaker 1: it just seems to me that, you know, they have everything.
- 10:30Speaker 1: They don't need to make any more money. All they
- 10:33Speaker 1: want is to hang out with actresses. And, you know,
- 10:36Speaker 1: how do you do that? Yeah. Start denouncing Trump, poor
- 10:41Speaker 1: little George Bush, as fascist in the rise of Hitler.
- 10:45Speaker 1: And please invite me to a Hollywood party.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. When they make a ton
- 10:50Speaker 2: of money, all they want to do is be on
- 10:52Speaker 2: the radio, be on TV, write a book, be in
- 10:54Speaker 2: the media, hang out with celebrities, do a podcast.
- 10:58Speaker 1: It's so embarrassing.
- 11:02Speaker 2: So, hey, I mentioned before, they don't want Trump's name
- 11:05Speaker 2: on the Kennedy Center. Do you know, if they ever studied.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Okay, I don't either, but go ahead.
- 11:10Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying, if they ever studied John F. Kennedy,
- 11:14Speaker 2: he was anti-abortion, he was a hawk, a warmonger.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Oh, yes.
- 11:18Speaker 2: They would want his name off the building if they
- 11:20Speaker 2: ever knew what he really stood for.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Oh, no, you're absolutely, absolutely right about that. Yes, yes.
- 11:27Speaker 1: But I don't know that we need to have anything named... Well,
- 11:31Speaker 1: I will say, both he and his brother were assassinated.
- 11:35Speaker 1: That has a lot to do with it. and not
- 11:38Speaker 1: just that they're Democratic heroes.
- 11:41Speaker 2: All right, that's true.
- 11:42Speaker 1: But you're not a fan of the— If that's the
- 11:44Speaker 1: last building we name after a Democrat, I'd be very happy.
- 11:49Speaker 2: All right, well, everybody follow Ann Coulter on Twitter. Great
- 11:53Speaker 2: stuff on Twitter. Make sure you follow her on Substack,

- 12:00Speaker 2: And what do you have coming up on the Rumble channel?
- 12:04Speaker 1: Well, I've been taping them Monday for the past few weeks,
- 12:06Speaker 1: and I did one Monday on, well, reviewing my column,
- 12:10Speaker 1: a few things about what's going on in London and England, flashbacks,
- 12:18Speaker 1: gays up in Providence, like the mural of Arena, the
- 12:22Speaker 1: Ukrainian who was murdered, more than the gay mayor does.
- 12:26Speaker 1: It's really appalling. I mean, he didn't make them, but
- 12:29Speaker 1: he started the mayor smiling... started a groundswell of taking
- 12:35Speaker 1: down the mural of this woman who was murdered. Democrats,
- 12:40Speaker 1: you're pro-vicious murder of an innocent Ukrainian who's fled a war.
- 12:46Speaker 1: But anyway, it's posted on my Substack right now. It's
- 12:49Speaker 1: also on Rumble and YouTube.
