Hour 1: Airport chaos. · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan. Here comes the Mark Simone Show
0:05
Speaker 1: on seven two.
0:09
Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's Wednesday. It's Opening Day, Yankees Opening Day
0:14
Speaker 2: to day. Unfortunately, you can't see the game unless you
0:17
Speaker 2: have Netflix, but most people have Netflix. It's the first
0:20
Speaker 2: time opening days. Tonight they're playing in San Francisco, first
0:24
Speaker 2: time the Yankee home day, Opening Day, which is a
0:27
Speaker 2: big day, a lot of ceremonies, a lot of stuff,
0:30
Speaker 2: first time. It won't be on regular television. You gotta
0:33
Speaker 2: have Netflix to see it. Mets Opening Day is tomorrow,
0:37
Speaker 2: So baseball season underway as of tonight. A lot to
0:40
Speaker 2: get to today. We'll get to the latest on Iran
0:43
Speaker 2: negotiations are taking place, that has been confirmed by both sides.
0:48
Speaker 2: Now they've been taking place. We'll get to the latest
0:50
Speaker 2: on Iran. We'll get to Savannah Guthrie, We'll get to LaGuardia,
0:55
Speaker 2: and we'll get to crazy Mayor Mom Donnie, who now
0:58
Speaker 2: wants to put tariffs on businesses here in New York.
1:02
Speaker 2: The TSA, now it's interesting. The TSA still a big,
1:08
Speaker 2: big shortage. Ice agents are doing a great job in
1:10
Speaker 2: the airport. Despite what Chuck Schumer said, they're not shooting
1:15
Speaker 2: people despite what Blumenthal and all the other Democrats that
1:21
Speaker 2: there would be in the airport brutalizing people shooting, no
1:24
Speaker 2: gun find in the airport from ICE agents. And the
1:30
Speaker 2: problem is they've now made the negotiations are taking place
1:34
Speaker 2: between the Republicans and the Democrats. They've actually made a
1:37
Speaker 2: lot of progress in the negotiations, Republicans submitting to the
1:42
Speaker 2: Democrats a deal that would be exactly what they wanted,
1:47
Speaker 2: and Democrats turning it down. Now. The reason they're turning
1:50
Speaker 2: it down is they believe, through their own polling, through
1:54
Speaker 2: their own surveys, that the voters are blaming the Republicans
1:59
Speaker 2: right now, there's no reason to do that. The Republicans
2:02
Speaker 2: aren't really behind this, but that's what they believe is
2:06
Speaker 2: the perception. So as long as they think the Republicans
2:09
Speaker 2: are getting blamed, they'll keep this shutdown going. And this
2:13
Speaker 2: tsa problem going. As long as it looks like it's
2:16
Speaker 2: helping them, doesn't matter what's really true. So that's why
2:20
Speaker 2: the delay they've offered the Republicans are offered every now.
2:23
Speaker 2: The problem is the Republicans have to do more messaging wise. Now,
2:27
Speaker 2: you got to remember, the Democrats will blame the Republicans
2:31
Speaker 2: and the fake news the media will join in and
2:33
Speaker 2: blame the Republicans. So for people not paying such close attention,
2:38
Speaker 2: there's the perception that the Republicans that close down the government,
2:41
Speaker 2: which when it's actually not true. So Republicans have to
2:44
Speaker 2: do more. They got to go to the airports. They
2:46
Speaker 2: got to hold press conferences there. They got to be
2:49
Speaker 2: right there for great visuals, great optics, and explain what's
2:52
Speaker 2: really going on. They're reporters all over. Let's see the
2:57
Speaker 2: Atlanta Airport.
2:58
Speaker 3: And there seems to be war lines open than normal
3:01
Speaker 3: right now with the TSA workers here breezing people through.
3:05
Speaker 3: In fact, a lot of folks have been showing up
3:07
Speaker 3: shot at how short the lines are.
3:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, the ICE agents have pretty much solved the problem
3:11
Speaker 2: in a lot of airports. But again Republicans have to
3:14
Speaker 2: go there, bring the cameras there, and let everybody see this.
3:16
Speaker 2: Let's check the Philadelphia Airport.
3:18
Speaker 4: ICE agents have arrived here in Philadelphia, but I do
3:21
Speaker 4: want to point out this is an empty line right now.
3:24
Speaker 4: We are standing in the middle where travelers come to
3:27
Speaker 4: check in for TSA. Yesterday this was all the way
3:29
Speaker 4: back to the garage. So good news today lines aren't
3:32
Speaker 4: too bad.
3:32
Speaker 2: TSA helping out Phoenix Airport.
3:34
Speaker 4: Most of the travelers we spoke would say, well, it's disappointing.
3:37
Speaker 4: The current shutdown is having a negative impact on TSA staff.
3:40
Speaker 4: They're pleased to see ICE agents stepping it.
3:42
Speaker 5: They're protecting us.
3:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, you need more coverage of this. Republican's
3:48
Speaker 2: got to play this up. They got to force the
3:50
Speaker 2: media to cover this a little more. Now, what is
3:53
Speaker 2: it with Democrats and the ICE agents? They hate these
3:56
Speaker 2: ICE agents. They've been a couple of ugly incidents, but
4:00
Speaker 2: it's a billionth of one percent. Why do they hate
4:03
Speaker 2: these ICE agents so much. Well, because they're rounding up
4:07
Speaker 2: illegals and getting them out of the country, especially the
4:09
Speaker 2: criminal illegal aliens. Democrats want the illegals here. It's very
4:15
Speaker 2: important to them. Now Chris Murphy, he's this crazy, awful
4:21
Speaker 2: Connecticut senator, but the Democrats love him because he says
4:24
Speaker 2: the most outlandish far left things in the world. In fact,
4:29
Speaker 2: there are a lot of Democrats are now looking to
4:31
Speaker 2: dump Schumer as the leader. Get rid of Schumer in
4:34
Speaker 2: the Senate and put in Chris Murphy. Big push. Now,
4:38
Speaker 2: get Schumer out and put in Chris Murphy. But listen
4:41
Speaker 2: to this Chris Murphy speaking yesterday, and he's always on
4:44
Speaker 2: every wherever there's a camera there, he is. He's as
4:48
Speaker 2: bad as Schumer, just always running around doing TV shows, appearances.
4:53
Speaker 2: But he slipped, he slipped. He actually spoke the truth
4:57
Speaker 2: out loud. They're really just for illegals, more for illegals
5:01
Speaker 2: than for Americans. Listen to Murphy make this slip.
5:04
Speaker 5: That's been a failed play for twenty years.
5:06
Speaker 6: So you are right that that has been the Democratic
5:09
Speaker 6: strategy for thirty years maybe, and it has failed to
5:13
Speaker 6: deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented
5:17
Speaker 6: Americans that are in this country.
5:20
Speaker 2: The people we care about most, the undocumented. He actually
5:26
Speaker 2: said it out loud. So it'll continue, but we'll see,
5:31
Speaker 2: negotiations will continue. The lines are much better ICE agents
5:35
Speaker 2: and again they're not shooting anybody all over the place.
5:37
Speaker 2: Remember the crazy Bloomenthal in Connecticut said they would be
5:42
Speaker 2: shooting people and brutalizing people and grabbing kids away from
5:45
Speaker 2: their families. He actually said that. Hakim Jeffrey said that
5:50
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. And even Corey Booker jumped in yesterday
5:53
Speaker 2: trying to say that these ICE agents they're violent, they're terrible.
5:56
Speaker 3: He's taking that agency that is recklessly out of control
5:59
Speaker 3: and bringing them tots under the lie that somehow.
6:02
Speaker 2: This is gonna help deal with the long lines that
6:06
Speaker 2: he created in the first place. This is an outrage Well,
6:10
Speaker 2: the outrageous booker waited a couple of days too long,
6:13
Speaker 2: because we've already done it for a couple of days,
6:15
Speaker 2: and we've seen that they did make the lines longer.
6:17
Speaker 2: They actually made the lions shorter. Tom Homan responded.
6:20
Speaker 7: He's misleading American people. He's lying. I want him to
6:23
Speaker 7: give me one example, just one when ices went into
6:26
Speaker 7: a church to wrest somebody, or we went into a
6:29
Speaker 7: hospital to wrest somebody, or we went into an elementary
6:32
Speaker 7: school to wrest somebody. Just give me one example. You
6:35
Speaker 7: know why he can't. There isn't anything.
6:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they just make up this stuff. They get
6:38
Speaker 2: on MSNBC, they go on Morning Joe and they say
6:41
Speaker 2: they're arresting people in churches, they're arresting people in hospitals.
6:44
Speaker 2: A lot of people talking about Morning Joe yesterday the
6:50
Speaker 2: argument was against the Save Act and Morning Joe pointing
6:53
Speaker 2: to Mika and saying Mika does not know where her
6:55
Speaker 2: birth certificate is. She can't find it, so she can't
6:59
Speaker 2: vote in this country. Under this act, she cannot vote.
7:03
Speaker 2: And a lot of people falling for this. This is
7:06
Speaker 2: totally misleading every American. If you don't have your birth certificate,
7:11
Speaker 2: you can get it replaced in two seconds. There's dozens
7:13
Speaker 2: of websites you can go to. The government has one,
7:15
Speaker 2: and there's plenty of private ones. You can go to
7:17
Speaker 2: these websites. Just google it. Just google replacement birth certificate
7:22
Speaker 2: and hundreds of websites will come up. You can go
7:25
Speaker 2: to any of these websites. All you can do is
7:27
Speaker 2: type in your information. They will find your birth certificate
7:31
Speaker 2: and for a little fee, they'll send you a new
7:33
Speaker 2: birth certificate. You can have it in about four days.
7:36
Speaker 2: Anybody can get a replacement birth certificate. It's it's very
7:38
Speaker 2: easy to use. So they're totally totally misleading America. And
7:43
Speaker 2: always count on Chuck Schumer. He's the one that says this.
7:47
Speaker 2: Women are too stupid, they don't know how to get ID.
7:50
Speaker 2: Minority voters too stupid, they don't know how to get
7:52
Speaker 2: an ID.
7:53
Speaker 8: Let's make it very clear, Donald Trump is the one
7:56
Speaker 8: standing in the way of paychecks. For TSA workers with
8:00
Speaker 8: a ridiculous attempt to pass the Save Act. Yeah, the
8:05
Speaker 8: Save Act, which would destroy a lot of what we
8:09
Speaker 8: know about democracy.
8:13
Speaker 2: It Save Act just means you've got to be a
8:15
Speaker 2: citizen to vote destroy democracy. Anyway, let's get to Iran.
8:21
Speaker 2: There are negotiations tacond place. As we've been telling you,
8:25
Speaker 2: Iran did put out a statement Monday, we have not
8:27
Speaker 2: had any talks with the US. Well, technically that's true,
8:33
Speaker 2: but they were kind of lying to you. We have
8:35
Speaker 2: been in negotiations for quite a few days with Iran.
8:38
Speaker 2: They were using a third party intermediary to negotiate. We
8:42
Speaker 2: go through the third party. They go through the third party.
8:45
Speaker 2: It's another nation. That's why Iran was technically able to
8:49
Speaker 2: say we've had no talks with the US. They've been
8:51
Speaker 2: working through a third party. Negotiations are They're going as expected.
8:57
Speaker 2: The Iran is asked for all kinds of things that
9:01
Speaker 2: we're never going to give them. They want control of everything.
9:03
Speaker 2: There's President Trump on negotiation.
9:05
Speaker 9: They're talking to us and they're talking sense. And remember
9:09
Speaker 9: it all starts that they cannot have a nuclear weapon.
9:12
Speaker 9: Just you know, I said yesterday they said, what are
9:15
Speaker 9: the top ten. I said, well, number one, two and
9:17
Speaker 9: three is they can't have a nuclear weapon.
9:19
Speaker 2: Okay, now here's what it'll probably come down to. Iran
9:22
Speaker 2: has given us like fourteen demands, twelve of which are ridiculous.
9:27
Speaker 2: I think what it's going to come down to, they'll
9:29
Speaker 2: end us at some point. The Straits of Hormuz. Now
9:33
Speaker 2: it's not open technically, but there are ships coming through
9:36
Speaker 2: the Straits of Hormoose right now and have been this week.
9:39
Speaker 2: About ninety ships have come through, and they're ships that
9:42
Speaker 2: are delivering Iranian oil and they're letting those ships through. Now,
9:46
Speaker 2: the way they do it is they give them a code.
9:49
Speaker 2: This is what they do also in a war in
9:52
Speaker 2: the air, you know, when we're bombing the hell out
9:54
Speaker 2: of Iraq and Israel's going to help us, other countries
9:56
Speaker 2: are going to help us. Each plane has to transmit
9:59
Speaker 2: a code. If it has the right code, we don't
10:01
Speaker 2: attack them. They're allowed into the combat zone. So they're
10:05
Speaker 2: using that technology on the Straits of horm Moose. If
10:08
Speaker 2: the tanker has the right code, it can go through
10:11
Speaker 2: the straits without being attacked. It transmits that code. Now,
10:15
Speaker 2: what Iran is going to propose and so far, they've
10:19
Speaker 2: let ninety ships come through because those ships are delivering
10:22
Speaker 2: their oil. What they're going to propose is the use
10:26
Speaker 2: that code system on tankers for anybody wants to get
10:29
Speaker 2: through the Straits of horm Moose. If it's not one
10:31
Speaker 2: of their tankers, they're going to want a fee, a
10:35
Speaker 2: big fee. They're going to charge money to come through
10:37
Speaker 2: the Straits of horm Moose. This is what the negotiation
10:39
Speaker 2: will probably come down to, and from now on it'll
10:42
Speaker 2: be a revenue generator. We'll have to pay to come
10:45
Speaker 2: through the Straits of horm Moose. Now this is not unusual.
10:48
Speaker 2: Egypt has been doing this for years with the Siuez Canal.
10:51
Speaker 2: You got to pay a fee to go through the
10:54
Speaker 2: Siuez Canal, bring your tanker through there. Now, it's not outrageous.
10:59
Speaker 2: We do it all the time. You got to pay
11:01
Speaker 2: a feed across every bridge, to go through every tunnel,
11:04
Speaker 2: you got to pay a fee. It's easy pass congestion pricing,
11:08
Speaker 2: all that stuff. So that's probably going to be the
11:11
Speaker 2: final thing that'll settle this Iran making a fee off that,
11:15
Speaker 2: and they're gonna need money. They're gonna need to rebuild
11:18
Speaker 2: the country, so it'll probably work. It'll come down to that. Hey,
11:23
Speaker 2: LaGuardia Airport. Well, it looks like I mean, the controller
11:28
Speaker 2: looks like he just went brain dead allowing the truck
11:32
Speaker 2: to come onto the runway when he had already cleared
11:35
Speaker 2: a plane to land. But I guess they're trying to
11:39
Speaker 2: help the controller a little. I mean, it's just they're
11:41
Speaker 2: saying it was a number of errors. So it was
11:43
Speaker 2: that error, but it was also a number of errors.
11:46
Speaker 2: There weren't enough controllers on the fire truck didn't have
11:50
Speaker 2: a transponder. There's radar that keeps track of all the
11:53
Speaker 2: planes in the air, but they also have ground radar
11:56
Speaker 2: keeps track of every vehicle on the ground and matches
11:59
Speaker 2: it up the planes. And to do that, each vehicle
12:03
Speaker 2: has to have a transponder transmitting a signal. That's how
12:07
Speaker 2: the radar picks it up. And that fire truck didn't
12:10
Speaker 2: have a transponder on it. But most fire trucks usually
12:14
Speaker 2: don't have a working transponder. But here's the spokesman.
12:18
Speaker 10: We have no indication there were transponders on any of
12:21
Speaker 10: the trucks, but there are transponders on other trucks at
12:26
Speaker 10: other airports. Across the nation. In this case, they did
12:31
Speaker 10: not have transponders.
12:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're coming of all these explanations, but really
12:35
Speaker 2: that controller he already cleared a plane to land. Once
12:37
Speaker 2: you clear a plane to land, the plane owns the runway.
12:40
Speaker 2: Nothing else comes on. So it was a big mistake. Now,
12:43
Speaker 2: how many controllers were on? Were there enough?
12:46
Speaker 10: We have identified the midshift generally as concern in other investigations,
12:52
Speaker 10: largely due to fatigue because it spans that time frame
12:56
Speaker 10: at your circadian low during the day when you're most fatigued.
13:01
Speaker 2: I don't know, there's a little too much explanation the
13:03
Speaker 2: circadian level, the fatigue when you're landing. I don't think
13:09
Speaker 2: you want to know that the controller might be falling asleep.
13:12
Speaker 2: Circadian level has to do with falling asleep fatigue. Do
13:16
Speaker 2: you want a guy that's actually awake and watching the runway?
13:19
Speaker 2: So hey, I did check on those some argument yesterday.
13:22
Speaker 2: Whose fire trucks are they? They're not NYFD. I met
13:26
Speaker 2: with the commissioner, the fire commissioner and all the top brass.
13:30
Speaker 2: They do not control those fire trucks. They do come
13:34
Speaker 2: in if it's a big fire. Those are Port Authority
13:38
Speaker 2: fire trucks at the airport run by port authority. Are
13:41
Speaker 2: they as good as NYFD? Nobody would answer on the record,
13:46
Speaker 2: but I saw the looks in their faces, So you
13:47
Speaker 2: don't don't count so much on those Port authority fire trucks,
13:50
Speaker 2: not like the New York Fire Department, but when they're
13:53
Speaker 2: in trouble and it's a big fire, they call in
13:55
Speaker 2: the NAFD. But those were port authority fire trucks. And
13:59
Speaker 2: again they didn't have transponders. There's a lot wrong with
14:02
Speaker 2: the way things were run at LaGuardia Airport. Hey, Savannah
14:08
Speaker 2: Guthrie finally did the first interview when she's going to
14:12
Speaker 2: finally go on camera and talk at length. Well, Hoda
14:15
Speaker 2: Cottby the Today Show did the first interview and she
14:19
Speaker 2: broke down. She cried, it's unbearable, it's agonizing, She went
14:26
Speaker 2: through the whole story. It's just agony, unbearable. So just
14:30
Speaker 2: heart wrenching. But always count on NBC to totally exploit
14:35
Speaker 2: the situation. They've broken it up into two parts. It's
14:39
Speaker 2: going to be on both days Thursday, Friday. They're already
14:42
Speaker 2: promoting it. They want you to watch. They'll take advantage
14:45
Speaker 2: of that pain and suffering trying to get people to
14:48
Speaker 2: watch the Today Show. She is going to return to
14:51
Speaker 2: the Today Show. They're looking at April tenth for the
14:55
Speaker 2: return date. Hey, we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred
14:58
Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven ten is the number.
15:01
Speaker 2: So give me a call, especially if you haven't called before.
15:04
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Lease give
15:08
Speaker 2: the number again. Some people say, well, you don't give
15:10
Speaker 2: the number enough. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
15:15
Speaker 1: Mister New York Mark simone wr.
15:22
Speaker 2: Let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero
15:26
Speaker 2: seven ten is the number. Let's go to Ron in Pittsburgh. Ron,
15:30
Speaker 2: how you doing?
15:31
Speaker 5: I'm good, Mark, how you doing today?
15:33
Speaker 2: Good?
15:34
Speaker 11: Hey? Love your show. Hey love Jimmy Fayler, Thank you
15:37
Speaker 11: for that. And hey, if people complaining about Bencent, please
15:42
Speaker 11: keep him on because I love that guy. Hey, but
15:44
Speaker 11: I got the thing I wanted to call you about.
15:46
Speaker 11: I have an idea. How about Cuba is having a
15:50
Speaker 11: blackout while all the green people take their soul panels
15:53
Speaker 11: and windmills and get rid of all the power plants.
15:55
Speaker 12: You show us how they work.
15:57
Speaker 2: Well, that's a good idea, but we the Cuba will
16:01
Speaker 2: be free. At some point, probably this summer, they'll free
16:04
Speaker 2: up Cuba and then a lot of people will be
16:05
Speaker 2: heading to Cuba for all kinds of opportunity, lots of
16:10
Speaker 2: lots of interest in Cuba. Now you can used to
16:12
Speaker 2: imagine that by the fall you could have Iran free,
16:17
Speaker 2: no more dictatorship. Same thing with Cuba. You could have
16:19
Speaker 2: two of the biggest problems in the world all of
16:22
Speaker 2: a sudden ended. Let's go to James in Secaucus. James,
16:25
Speaker 2: how you doing?
16:27
Speaker 13: Okay? Well, I want to ask you. A fourth of
16:30
Speaker 13: July of a Saturday, celebrated Friday nine to eleven is Friday.
16:34
Speaker 13: Chris was in New Year's Friday. Do you think he'll
16:36
Speaker 13: put that prayer rug out? And if he does, well,
16:38
Speaker 13: Kathy All will do anything about it?
16:40
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well wait, wait a minute. Fourth of July is
16:43
Speaker 2: on a Saturday this year.
16:45
Speaker 13: Yeah, but they celebrated Friday a lot of places.
16:47
Speaker 2: Oh why would they do that when it's on a Saturday. Well, anyway,
16:52
Speaker 2: you mean they get we had Friday off that weekend,
16:54
Speaker 2: not Monday.
16:55
Speaker 13: Yes, yes, yeah, Friday.
16:58
Speaker 2: I don't like that. We should get Friday and Monday.
17:00
Speaker 2: We should get two days.
17:01
Speaker 13: You're doing get Friday, Sadday, you get Friday, Sunday, you
17:05
Speaker 13: get Monday.
17:05
Speaker 2: Now you got me all confused. Who's on first? I
17:07
Speaker 2: don't know? But anyway, thanks for Colin. Let's go to
17:09
Speaker 2: Paul and White Plains. Paul, how you doing?
17:13
Speaker 11: Mark?
17:13
Speaker 12: I'm doing well, but I almost drove off the road
17:16
Speaker 12: when I heard you say that Trump is going to
17:18
Speaker 12: agree to allow the Iranians to tax every ship that goes.
17:22
Speaker 2: Through this not not not not tax. But one thing
17:25
Speaker 2: they want is a fee. It's not unreasonable. We do that.
17:27
Speaker 2: Every country does that.
17:29
Speaker 12: But but Mark didn't.
17:31
Speaker 5: We all see.
17:33
Speaker 2: It's going to keep going every A lot of countries
17:36
Speaker 2: do it. It's perfectly normal. We do it, harbors do it,
17:38
Speaker 2: ports do it. It's not unusual.
17:41
Speaker 12: But isn't it giving them sort of like a little
17:44
Speaker 12: payback for for what's going on? I mean, it seems
17:47
Speaker 12: to make no sense.
17:49
Speaker 2: You know, I could. We could keep doing this for
17:51
Speaker 2: an hour, and you're gonna keep saying that it makes
17:52
Speaker 2: no sense. I don't. It's again, I'd rather not give
17:56
Speaker 2: him a fee. I understand your feeling, but it's not
17:59
Speaker 2: unusual happenings, so it's got to be a reasonable fee.
18:01
Speaker 2: You I mean, but a million supports Harbor's countries. As
18:05
Speaker 2: I said, Egypt, there's a fee. Who used the Suez Canal.
18:07
Speaker 2: It's done all the time. You know, you do it,
18:09
Speaker 2: you go through it yourself. You want to go over
18:11
Speaker 2: the throgs Neck, you're gonna pay a fee. You want
18:13
Speaker 2: to go through the Lincoln Tunnel, You're gonna pay a fee.
18:16
Speaker 2: You want to come into Midtown, You're gonna pay a fee.
18:18
Speaker 2: Congestion pricing. Let's go to Mark and Allentown, Mark, how.
18:21
Speaker 14: You doing, Hey, good morning.
18:25
Speaker 15: Before I get to my question, my statement is that
18:28
Speaker 15: I was shocked watching ABC News World last night how
18:31
Speaker 15: they covered the poor girl that was killed in Chicago
18:35
Speaker 15: and they've said illegal immigrant a few times.
18:38
Speaker 5: That really floored me.
18:40
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a big concession from them. Absolutely, it was
18:46
Speaker 2: preally amazing. Yeah, this poor girl was killed by this
18:49
Speaker 2: illegal immigrant. You see very little coverage of it. Actually,
18:54
Speaker 2: you know, if it was the other way around, if
18:56
Speaker 2: she killed the illegal immigrant, it'd be there'd be protests
18:59
Speaker 2: all over the street, there'd be riots would be every
19:01
Speaker 2: but uh, this is getting very little attention. But good
19:05
Speaker 2: for ABC is maybe they're maybe they're waking up a
19:08
Speaker 2: little Let's go to Linda and Pennsylvania. Linda, how you doing?
19:12
Speaker 14: I'm good?
19:12
Speaker 6: Hell are you?
19:13
Speaker 2: I'm good?
19:15
Speaker 5: I just have a question.
19:16
Speaker 16: Why is there no outraged over the fact that White
19:21
Speaker 16: is flooding and SEEMA is.
19:23
Speaker 12: Not being paid?
19:25
Speaker 2: Say again, what's flooding?
19:28
Speaker 12: Okay, Hawaii.
19:31
Speaker 7: Years Oh, Hawaii, Hawaii, and you hear nothing about SEMA,
19:37
Speaker 7: and yet SEMA's one of the agencies that's not being paid.
19:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point. You have a very good
19:42
Speaker 2: point after this were Republican Congress holding this up. If
19:46
Speaker 2: the Republicans held this up here, it's all you'd be
19:48
Speaker 2: hearing about is Hawaii is flooding while FEMA's not being paid.
19:51
Speaker 2: FEMA is part of a department Homeland Security, not funded
19:54
Speaker 2: at the moment. Let's go to Dennis in Long Island. Dennis,
19:57
Speaker 2: how you doing?
19:59
Speaker 16: Hey Mack? Great? Show Mark?
20:04
Speaker 2: Everybody says, like a character from in nineteen forties movie
20:06
Speaker 2: Hey Mark, why.
20:07
Speaker 11: Are you Mark?
20:08
Speaker 16: Yeah, Schulma wants to tell Schulma wants ice to take
20:12
Speaker 16: their masks go up to identify them. Whant we even
20:14
Speaker 16: the playing field all protesters cannot wear a mask so
20:18
Speaker 16: we can identify the bad players?
20:20
Speaker 5: Yeah?
20:21
Speaker 2: Well, good idea. They do do that in some cities's
20:24
Speaker 2: not allowed to wear a mask. But the problem is
20:28
Speaker 2: you could have protesters with no masks and no, the
20:31
Speaker 2: Republicans won't bother them, not gonna do anything about it.
20:34
Speaker 2: But you know, the problem with a nice agent is
20:35
Speaker 2: if he's not wearing a mask. In today's world, you
20:38
Speaker 2: can take a picture of their face. You can reverse
20:41
Speaker 2: image search it. You can find out who they are.
20:44
Speaker 2: You can get their address. You can go on the
20:45
Speaker 2: internet and do this, get their address, and then Democratic
20:48
Speaker 2: protesters will go to their house and terrorize their children
20:52
Speaker 2: and their family, yelling and screaming and causing chaos outside
20:56
Speaker 2: their house. It's called doxing. You find the address, you
20:59
Speaker 2: go to the house us and it's just going to
21:03
Speaker 2: be a nightmare for these families. So that's why they
21:05
Speaker 2: wear masks. Now, Republicans never do this kind of stuff,
21:09
Speaker 2: never ever ever do this kind of stuff. They don't
21:12
Speaker 2: surround somebody's house and try to terrorize their kids. So
21:16
Speaker 2: that's the reason for the masks. They're not wearing masks
21:18
Speaker 2: at the airports, and a lot of people are worried
21:20
Speaker 2: about this, that they're gonna start photographing these ice agents
21:23
Speaker 2: and start doing this stuff. So we'll see. Let's go
21:25
Speaker 2: to Joe and NUTLEYT Joe, how you doing?
21:29
Speaker 14: Yeah, Hey, Mark, how are you a longtime listener? I
21:33
Speaker 14: just want to talk about the mid term elections coming up.
21:36
Speaker 14: I've been hearing so much on even the Republican side,
21:39
Speaker 14: how the GOP isn't going to do well in the elections,
21:43
Speaker 14: and frankly, I just can't see how we can't do
21:46
Speaker 14: well well.
21:46
Speaker 2: No, I don't don't fall for a lot of fake
21:48
Speaker 2: poles being reported. We played the clip of CNN yesterday
21:52
Speaker 2: where they had a real poll and they had to
21:53
Speaker 2: admit Democrats are so far underwater. They're down like fifty
21:57
Speaker 2: five points unders now. But to remember, you can't predict
22:01
Speaker 2: the midterms right now. People love to do it. They
22:03
Speaker 2: love to predict, They love to guess. They love to
22:05
Speaker 2: go to the polymarket, see where they gamblers. It doesn't
22:09
Speaker 2: mean anything. This is like it's like trying to predict
22:12
Speaker 2: who's gonna win the Super Bowl in twenty twenty eight.
22:14
Speaker 2: You're way too far out to know what's gonna happen
22:16
Speaker 2: in the midterms. It's a long way off now. Some
22:19
Speaker 2: will argue that as you get into the late summer,
22:22
Speaker 2: it gets set. I mean maybe in the midsummer it
22:25
Speaker 2: starts to get locked in and so. But but that
22:28
Speaker 2: even the midsummer, you're talking about months and months away,
22:30
Speaker 2: got a long way to go. Hey, when we come back,
22:32
Speaker 2: Roger Friedman will be with us, the great entertainment reporter.
22:36
Speaker 2: Lots to talk to him about. We'll do that next
22:38
Speaker 2: on seven ten WR.
22:41
Speaker 1: It's the Marks Among Show on seven ten WR.
22:46
Speaker 2: Well, Roger Friedman a great entertainment reporter. His website is
22:50
Speaker 2: showbiz for one one dot com. You check it every day.
22:53
Speaker 2: There's always new stuff up there. Show biz for one
22:56
Speaker 2: one dot com. Roger Friedman, how you.
22:59
Speaker 5: Doing, I'm great, Good morning Mark.
23:02
Speaker 2: Hey, Savannah Guthrie is going to finally do the first
23:05
Speaker 2: Today Show interview Thursday, Friday, breaks down christ.
23:09
Speaker 5: Thursday and Friday. Yeah, well, no, I mean she wants
23:15
Speaker 5: to go back. She has to go back to work.
23:18
Speaker 5: It's a terrible story. Nobody's they haven't been able to
23:20
Speaker 5: find the mother. It's been a huge public thing, and
23:26
Speaker 5: I think to pave the way for her to come
23:27
Speaker 5: back to work, she's got to do. Get it all
23:30
Speaker 5: out on the table. So they'll do it. Thursday and Friday,
23:34
Speaker 5: they'll get big ratings and then maybe a month later
23:36
Speaker 5: in May, she'll come back.
23:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I'm here in April tenth. That's the day
23:40
Speaker 2: she's looking to coming back.
23:41
Speaker 5: Oh April tenth, is that what they're saying? Okay, well,
23:44
Speaker 5: then then she'll be back April tenth. And you know,
23:49
Speaker 5: she has to go back to living, her kids have
23:51
Speaker 5: to go back to school, and you know, life has
23:54
Speaker 5: to go back to normal, and they may never find
23:57
Speaker 5: this woman. Yeah, you know, who knows what's going to happen.
24:01
Speaker 2: Not the best I think that maybe it's not the
24:04
Speaker 2: best thing for the Tucson Chamber of Commerce. I mean,
24:06
Speaker 2: you look at that goofy sheriff and those crazy locals,
24:09
Speaker 2: and oh.
24:10
Speaker 5: And the mayor of Tucson has never said a word
24:12
Speaker 5: about this, not a word. This woman has never spoken
24:16
Speaker 5: about it. I think at the beginning she says something like, oh,
24:18
Speaker 5: we have a problem in town. That was February first.
24:23
Speaker 5: This woman has not done a thing to help in
24:25
Speaker 5: the case.
24:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if I were looking at this, that
24:28
Speaker 2: was very weird. Would not want to live in one
24:29
Speaker 2: of these breaking bad kind of towns.
24:34
Speaker 5: As New Yorkers, you know, we're against this generally speaking.
24:38
Speaker 5: You know, I always said that in the movie Fatal Attraction,
24:42
Speaker 5: when the family lived in Manhattan in an apartment building
24:44
Speaker 5: with a doorman, nothing happened to them. The minute they
24:48
Speaker 5: moved to the suburbs, Glenn Close got in there and
24:52
Speaker 5: you know, boiled the bunny. So it took the kid hostage,
24:56
Speaker 5: and you know, the whole thing. So it's much better
24:59
Speaker 5: to be the city and be in a nice doorman
25:02
Speaker 5: building and not have these problems.
25:04
Speaker 2: Also, you'd have surveillance cameras on every inch of every block.
25:07
Speaker 2: You would know what happened.
25:09
Speaker 5: Well, this is a very weird story about missus Guthrie
25:12
Speaker 5: because there doesn't seem to have been much security at
25:15
Speaker 5: the house or anybody living with her. She's eighty four
25:18
Speaker 5: years old and she can't walk or something. And the
25:22
Speaker 5: night that she had dinner with a daughter and son
25:25
Speaker 5: in law, they sent for her in an uber. They
25:29
Speaker 5: didn't even go pick her up. I don't understand this
25:32
Speaker 5: is not if she was so old and so infirmed,
25:36
Speaker 5: they were sort of treating her like, you know, a package.
25:41
Speaker 5: So there's a lot I hope that I doubt that
25:43
Speaker 5: he will ask her these questions. But those are the
25:46
Speaker 5: questions I would ask, like, why were you not why
25:49
Speaker 5: didn't you have someone living in the house with your mother?
25:52
Speaker 5: First of all, you know, and it's a remote area.
25:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they're good questions. But hey, have you been
25:58
Speaker 2: watching this? Jfkjune your mini series? This series?
26:02
Speaker 5: I watched a little bit of it, you.
26:04
Speaker 9: Know, you.
26:07
Speaker 2: Around for the real around how realistic does it look?
26:11
Speaker 5: And not really realistic at all? And I'm sort of
26:15
Speaker 5: offended by the fact that people are doing these uh
26:19
Speaker 5: you know, they're dressing up as John Kennedy Jr. And
26:23
Speaker 5: they're having contests about who looks like him and all this.
26:28
Speaker 5: It's it's offensive. They died in a really terrible accident
26:32
Speaker 5: and none of these people knew him. The people who
26:36
Speaker 5: made the TV show didn't know him. And you see
26:40
Speaker 5: a lot of people who worked for John complaining now
26:43
Speaker 5: and saying that the show has no bearing on the truth.
26:46
Speaker 5: Of course, Jack Schlossberg doesn't you know, believe it, and
26:50
Speaker 5: has you know, really criticized Ryan Murphy. And also don't
26:56
Speaker 5: don't remember, you know, don't forget Carol Bessett died and
26:59
Speaker 5: her sister dies, So how hard is this show? You know?
27:02
Speaker 5: For the that family. I think it's just exploitation.
27:07
Speaker 2: Oh definitely. But they really went the great length and
27:09
Speaker 2: expense to recreate all the locations of the nineties. All
27:12
Speaker 2: the streets are filled with nineties cars. It does have
27:15
Speaker 2: a good look to it. I know it brings back
27:18
Speaker 2: a lot of memories. Hey, yeah, I don't know if
27:21
Speaker 2: they're good memories. Yeah, tell us about Paul McCartney. What's
27:24
Speaker 2: he up to?
27:26
Speaker 5: Paul McCartney. The other day he started posting cryptic messages
27:32
Speaker 5: on Instagram and now he's now even more cryptic messages
27:37
Speaker 5: came out overnight and it looks like he's going to
27:39
Speaker 5: be announcing a new album maybe tomorrow today, Tomorrow, Friday.
27:43
Speaker 5: And it's amazing because he's going to be eighty four
27:47
Speaker 5: and he never stops. And the album is called The
27:52
Speaker 5: Boys of Dungeon Lane. Dungeon Lane is a street in
27:56
Speaker 5: Liverpool where he grew up, where they all grew up.
27:59
Speaker 5: And I think it's going to be a very autobiographical
28:02
Speaker 5: album about his young days. And then, of course this
28:05
Speaker 5: Friday and Saturday, he's playing two shows in Los Angeles
28:11
Speaker 5: at the Fonda Theater. Were seats about twelve hundred people
28:15
Speaker 5: each night and of course, the thing is totally sold
28:18
Speaker 5: out and people are going to be lined up around
28:20
Speaker 5: the block to try to get in. You know, he
28:22
Speaker 5: did this a couple of years ago at the Bowie
28:27
Speaker 5: at the Barry Ballroom here in New York. I went
28:29
Speaker 5: to it. Getting into it, you literally had to give
28:33
Speaker 5: a kidney to get in there. And the Barry Ballroom
28:36
Speaker 5: is only about half as many seats. I think it's
28:39
Speaker 5: five seventy five and everybody stood and it was an
28:44
Speaker 5: amazing show. I'm sure that people in LA will have
28:47
Speaker 5: a similar experience. And then I guess maybe the album
28:53
Speaker 5: will come out for his eighty fourth birthday in June.
28:56
Speaker 2: So from Penny Lane to That's pretty cool Penny Lane
28:59
Speaker 2: to Dungeon Lane.
29:00
Speaker 5: A Dungeon Lane, right, there are a lot of lanes
29:02
Speaker 5: apparently in Liverpool.
29:07
Speaker 2: Barry Manilow, what's going on with him?
29:10
Speaker 5: You know, Barry Manilow, Neil Diamond, all these guys in
29:13
Speaker 5: their eighties are putting out music. Barry Manilow has has
29:19
Speaker 5: had a hit all winter on adult contemporary radio. It's
29:23
Speaker 5: called Once Before you Go. Babyface remixed it and it
29:28
Speaker 5: turned out to me a little bit of a hit.
29:30
Speaker 5: So he's got a whole album coming out next month,
29:34
Speaker 5: but all new songs. Health Wise, he has lung cancer
29:41
Speaker 5: and he was operated on and it looks like he's
29:45
Speaker 5: done very well. He's done very well and he's going
29:50
Speaker 5: to start touring again next month. Oh okay, well that's great,
29:54
Speaker 5: so it's pretty cool. And then Neil Diamond, he's putting
29:58
Speaker 5: out an unreleased album from from decades ago that he
30:03
Speaker 5: never put out. And now I kind of tell you
30:07
Speaker 5: the first song is great. You know, the Neil Diamond
30:10
Speaker 5: stuff I love is like solitary man. You know, it's
30:14
Speaker 5: that before all that, you know, I am I said,
30:17
Speaker 5: and all that and Hello America. But this album, this
30:22
Speaker 5: song sounds pretty good. So maybe the album is nice.
30:25
Speaker 2: It sounds pretty good to the musicologists and they love
30:27
Speaker 2: but you know, there's a reason it was unreleased. You know,
30:34
Speaker 2: they always give you the album we put back. The
30:36
Speaker 2: missing cut wasn't missing. They just didn't want to use
30:38
Speaker 2: it. It wasn't that good.
30:39
Speaker 5: So yeah, but this this song sounds pretty good.
30:44
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
30:45
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not a big Neil Diamond fan, but
30:46
Speaker 5: I give him credit. You know, these guys keep plugging away.
30:49
Speaker 5: You know, it's like as long as we're alive, we
30:51
Speaker 5: just keep going. Nobody wants to retire.
30:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, we only got about thirty seconds left. Tell
30:55
Speaker 2: us how Broadway's doing. Is business?
30:57
Speaker 5: Okay, Broadway is booming. It was up five million dollars
31:02
Speaker 5: this week from last week. All the shows are booming. Yep,
31:07
Speaker 5: Hamilton is booming. The Harry Potter Show is booming. Everybody.
31:11
Speaker 5: Everybody was up in the last week because of spring break,
31:15
Speaker 5: and it's busier than ever. On Monday night, I went
31:18
Speaker 5: to see Giant with John Lithgow, who's just a fantastic
31:22
Speaker 5: actor and gives a great performance. Daniel Ratcliffe is doing
31:27
Speaker 5: a one man show on Broadway. It's supposed to be excellent.
31:30
Speaker 5: I haven't seen it yet. And then coming in June
31:34
Speaker 5: is a sting to the Metropolitan Opera with his show
31:37
Speaker 5: The Last Ship, which played on Broadway a few years
31:41
Speaker 5: ago and now is coming back in sort of a
31:43
Speaker 5: new form with beautiful sets, and it's supposed to be
31:46
Speaker 5: had incredible reviews in Europe, and now it's sailing into
31:51
Speaker 5: the Metropolitan Opera House for nine performances in June. That's it, nine,
31:57
Speaker 5: just nine, that's it. Then he's got to move on
31:59
Speaker 5: to the next.
32:00
Speaker 2: Ye I don't like that they got to do more
32:01
Speaker 2: than that, but anyway, it sounds good.
32:03
Speaker 5: Well maybe they will, all right, Well.
