  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on sevent WR.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Well, everybody probably a home today. It's a remote day
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: for most people that work. If you're a student in
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: New York City, it's remote. They use that what do
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: they call that Google classroom. The mayor says it should work.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: It's not a good thing. It just closed the schools
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: for the day. But as he explained, they can't close
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: for the day.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Is this that we're going to exhaust every option to protect?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: No, No, that's not it. Where there's a some kind
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: of state law. I remember it as a.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: New York City publicol students sitting there watching TV hoping
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to see my school's name. The sad truth is being
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: governed by state law which requires one hundred and eighty
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: days of instruction. And there's no room anymore in these
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: calendars with all of your holidays have been added the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: first now day, so Monday is going to be remote.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the reason there's a state law. You
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: can thank the legislature requiring one hundred and eighty days,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: so they can't close. They have to have a remote day.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Which it's interesting. At private schools, I don't think there's
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: subject good. Many of them are just closed, no remote
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: day today, so we slowly start to dig out. Actually,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you got to give mom Donnie credit. It was pretty
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: good the response. But again he's got leftover from the
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Adams administration. The emergency management people, the people that do
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: all this response are left over. The emergency response director,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: emergency management head is leaving in a week, but his
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: deputy will take over, and he says, don't worry. His
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: deputy is perfectly qualified and be very good at this.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. This probably be the last big snowstorm.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I don't want to jinx it, but they usually get
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: one of these a year. And you know, this one's
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: actually not as bad as five years ago. We had
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: a big one. It was like in this was ten inches,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and see we had a big one was like seventeen
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: inches in the city. But it was during the towards
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the end of the pandemic. Most people were still remote anyway.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: So Washington got hit hard with the snowstorm. But they
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: went ahead with the premiere of the Milania film. There's
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: a big, big documentary on Milania Amazon. It'll be in
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: theaters and then it'll stream on Amazon. They had the
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: big movie premiere. Normally in that kind of snowstorm. The
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: President would get the hell out of there and be
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: at mar A Lago for the weekend, but he stayed
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: because of the premiere and it was Saturday night, big
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: dinner at the White House, the Kennedy Center, the whole thing,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and a lot of people came. Everybody loved it. It's
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: a great film. But it starts in theaters now. Most
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: people will wait, probably go see when it's streaming, so
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: that's opening very soon. Wall Street Journal really brutal on
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. The Wall Street Journal has not been on
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: a Trump friendly paper for a while. The Wall Street
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Journal not good to the president, but really bad, hitting
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: him very hard over the weekend for the shooting in Minnesota,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and a lot of people say, you can argue that
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the shooting was justified. It's the case of Rene Good.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Definitely justified. Again, if he talked to the best law
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: enforcement people in the world, they'll say, you know, probably
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have shot. He's legally justified, and he can, but
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: he probably should have let that go. If you want,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: you catch her stopp her car a block away or something.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But this one yesterday's a real borderline, and we can't
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: see exactly why they fired. He did have something in
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: his hand. It turns out it was the cell phone.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: But he was armed. And if you're going to confront police,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know why you'd bring a weapon with you.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And I don't know why you'd bring extra magazines. You know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I know people would carry guns, but extra magazines. I mean,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: cops have to do that because god knows what they'll
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: end up in a gunfight or something. But a citizen
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: also at that point, he's harassing the Ice agents, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: then as they're trying to detain him, he's resisting. So
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: he's resisting arrest. He's committing a crime. And even though
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you're legally licensed to carry a gun, you can't carry
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: a gun when you're committing a crime. That's a whole
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: different set of charges. So this will be investigated. Now,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal going after him, James Comer coming
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: out and going after this. So some people saying he
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: is losing the narrative on this. You can argue the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: facts of the case and that it's not wrong, but
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: he's losing the narrative and that's the problem. So President
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Trump responding by sending Tom Holman to Minnesota. He's on
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: his way there. He'll be there this afternoon talk to officials.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: He's also probably going to sideline Christy Nomes. She's already
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: been taken out of the loop on this, he announced
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: last night. Here's his actual words. Holman will report directly
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: to me now and help lead the immigration Customs enforcement
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: operations in Minneapolis, taking Christy Nome out of the picture.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sending Tom Holman to minnesot tonight. He's not been
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: involved in that area, but he knows and likes many
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: of the people there. Tom is tough, but fair and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: will report directly to me. The President also saying separately,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: a major investigation is going on with respect to the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: massive twenty billion dollar plus welfare fraud that took place
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota. And he believes a lot of people believe
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: that's one reason they're gitting up these protests and this
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: violence to distract from that huge twenty billion dollar fraud.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: But the President saying, the investigation is ongoing, and actually
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: your Democrats there, it's also distracting from the investigation, which
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: means I'll be able to get more done under the radar. Additionally,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the President says the Department of Justice and Congress are
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: looking at Congresswoman elon Omar, who was broke when she
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: took office and is now worth more than forty four
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: million dollars. They'll figure out how that happened. So it's
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: a it's a bad situation in Minnesota. They've got to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: clean this up. It's it's it's uh uh try it's
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are going to use this. This will be
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the number one issue forget affordability, and they're throwing that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: out there will just be this in the mid terms.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Now they're talking about defunding ICE, and they're talking about
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: doing that as fast as possible. Now, the problem is
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: ICE is part of the Department of Homeland Security. I
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: don't know how you could just defund ICE. You'd have
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: to defund the Department of Homeland Security. But that's a
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: problem because that also includes a TSA, that also includes
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: all kinds of things. You can't just defund that. So
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Democrats will have a problem. But they'll yell and scream
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: about that. They'll they'll threaten a shutdown over over this
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: and try to defund it. Then you got all these
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: crazy Minnesota Democrats trying to rile things up. You got
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the mayor. If anybody's to blame for this. It's the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: mayor and the governor for literally telling these people, these
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: organized protesters, telling them to go physically confront ice, get
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: in their face. Here's the mayor of Minneapolis.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: More than six masked agents pummeling one of our constituents
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: and shooting him to death. How many more residents? How
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: for this operation to end?
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a good question. But it's like January sixth,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: where they kept yelling at the president. Same thing to
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you go on TV, tell them to stop, tell them
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: to go home, tell them to protest peacefully, tell them
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: to stay across the street, don't go physically confront ice.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: But Fry is been trying to fuel this like crazy.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: How many more lives need to be lost before this
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: administration realizes that?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a good question. So why don't you tell
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the protests stop physically confronting and getting in the face
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the law enforcement jumping. It's one thing to protest, but
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: to actually jump in there and physically try to interfere
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: with them, not to send this as Waltz, This federal
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: occupation of Minnesota long ago, stop being a matter of
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Immigration Enforcement. It's a campaign of organized brutality against the
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: people of our state. But again he's just trying to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: rile people up. You know a couple of things, one
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the language, telling people to go confront them, telling people
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to physically go after ICE, but also totally withdrawing police,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: National Guard, all of that. If you had sent the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: police in to control the protesters like they do anywhere else,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: you keep them behind barricades, you keep them separate from
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the ICE office, physically separate. They may yell and scream,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: but it's that separation that saves their lives. They've refused
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: to do that. Now, you got two thousand ICE agents
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: in Minneapolis, and believe it or not, Minneapolis only has
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: six hundred cops. So but again, the governor could send him,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the National Guard, all of that stuff just to control
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the protests, keep them physically separate from EIST, and you
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: would not have had any of these problems at all. So,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: by the way, articles of impeachment have been filed against
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Tim Waltz, governor of Minnesota from a Republican state representative.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: But he's got a good case. It looks like a
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: twenty billion got stolen for that daycare fraud scheme with
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: the Attorney General of Minnesota either looking the other way
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: or being so incompetent he didn't see it. And it's
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the same thing with the governor. Either he looked the
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: other way deliberately, or he was part of this twenty
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: billion dollar fraud, or he's just totally incompetent and didn't
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: know what was going on. They're going to start looking
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: at all of this, examining it, and it looks like
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: there was no control of the money being given out
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: to these fake daycare centers. It looks like there was
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: no accounting in any way. It looks like they did nothing,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: nothing to check to see if anything any of these
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: organizations were real. They just handed out the money. Many
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: people suspect a lot of Democrats benefited, maybe public officials,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: maybe people. Or they also think a lot of the
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: money got a good percentage got kicked back into donations
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: into campaigns. So that investigation going on, and the impeachment
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: has been filed against Waltz. We'll see if that goes anywhere. Hey,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I remembers tell you about Davos. The Davos is a
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: you know that conference where you see like literally two
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty private jets on the runways. It's not
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: a fancy place, Davos, and it's kind of a dump.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: The hotels are jumpy, but they got a lot of
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: beautiful chalets around there, and these zillionaires rent all those
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: chalets and that's where they stayed. But apparently, and I
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: also told you, remember this is like the biggest thing
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: of the year for prostitutes in Europe. Sex workers. It's
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: like they're Super Bowl Davos. Well here, now that it's over,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: we're getting actual statistics. Apparently the demand for prostitutes in Davos,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: scott I rocketed this year. It was unbelievable. The requests
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: were up four thousand percent in Davos this year. Particularly
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: high number of users were from the US, Russia, Ukraine. Yeah,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: these Ukrainians, they made a lot of money off this war,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: spending it like crazy. They don't want to go into details.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: There's you know, these sex worker services. But they said
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: not only was it up four thousand percent, but there
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: was one client who allegedly spent one hundred and twenty
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars. He wanted five women at once for four days.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: The bill was one hundred and twenty thousand, but he's
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: a billionaire, so it's absolutely nothing for him. You know
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: your electric rates are going crazy in New York City, Well,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: believe it or not, On Thursday, the Public Service Commission
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: approved Kanid's request for a rate hike. That'll be about
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: six hundred and fifteen dollars per year more, maybe sixty
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: dollars a month more for gas and electricity a rate hike.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Bureaucrats are insisting that law, not politics, is driving the
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: cost increases. You can blame a lot of people. You
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: can blame Andrew Cuomo for your out of control electric bills.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: He shut down our nuclear power plant Indian Point, which
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: was a big mistake. It was twenty five percent of
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: our electricity. Nuclear power is the safest, cheapest, easiest, and
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Cuomo shut it down. Everybody at the time told him
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: it's going to drive electric bills way up, and it did. It,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: absolutely did. You gotta remember Democrats are not really the
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: party of affordability because they'll do things like this, shut
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: down the nuclear plant, not drill for natural gas, not
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: allow fracking. This drives your electric bill through the roof. Now.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: The other thing is, believe it or not, this green
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: stuff like wind windmills, wind power. It's very expensive per
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: kilowatt hour to pay for that electricity. It's like four
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: times as much as fossil fuel. So all this stuff
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: has caused a huge increase in your electric bills in
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Public Service Commission just approved another increase. So you got
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: to clean house in November. You got to get rid
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: of Kathy Hochel, You got to get rid of a
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: lot of the legislature. That's the only hope I would
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: tell you to vote for Bruce Blakeman in November. He's
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: a common sense he's a governor. He's the county executive
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: of West of Nassau County, county executive in Nasau County,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: and that's basically what a county executive is. A governor.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: He's turned Nassau County into the most efficient, safest county
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: in America. So he'll be running and you got got
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: to get rid of a lot of this legislature. They're
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: just crazy there, you know, mom, Donni comes from the legislature.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: You got people like that in the legislature, crazy left
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: wing people. They'll drive your cost crazy. Whenever you get
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: any of these very left wing socialis, his costs go
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: way up. It happens all the time. So hey, Bill
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Maher has been pretty good here Bill Maher this week
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: talking about mom Donnie, about the people he's hired, the
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: things they've tweeted.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: It matters that the mayor stands by, and so I
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: assume stands with someone who says things like, if you
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize private property,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: it's over seize private property. Home ownership is racist. Elect
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: more communists. Private property, especially home ownership is a weapon
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: of white supremacy. Really, even among the twenty million Black
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Americans who own their own home.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: He has appoint at some crazy people.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Democrats seem to be having this debate whether or not
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Mayor Mom Donnie is a socialist or a democratic socialist.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Let me settle it. He's a straight up communist. I
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: know this.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: I'm reading between the lines when one of his major
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: advisors says, elect more communists, which is fine, it's fine,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: it's a belief system. He's allowed to believe it and
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: people are allowed to vote for it.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: But if liberals.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Deny it, like he's just going through a goth phase,
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: they're going to lose more elections. This is not a
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: communist country.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely not. Now. The only good news is
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of people think, mom, don he's not the
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: most courageous guy in the world that you know. It
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: takes a lot of guts to go in there and
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: bust up something and try to, you know, transform me.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: It takes a lot of courage. A lot of people
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: don't think he has it so and this week has
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: put him to the test managerial wise, snowstorm, all of that,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: and he put on that emergency response jacket and he's
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: out in the field. He was helping the shovel snow. So,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: who knows, maybe he'll calm down a little, maybe he'll
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: start to realize what government should do and shouldn't do.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: And well, we'll see. Hey, Bruce Blakeman will be with
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: this a little while. We'll take some calls. Next eight
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
