Hour 2: Shoplifting legalized? · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Here's more marks alone on seven to ten. Woo. Well, hey,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: if you just tune it in now, you missed the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: first hour. Remember it's nine to noon every day, nine
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to noon. We do three hours now nine to noon
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: every day. So a lot going on, this just breaking.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: The US and Iran have just signed you know, the MoU.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: The Memorandum of understanding expired today, but they've just signed
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: an extension. How about that? An extension on the MoU.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: It's the memo, Memorandum of understanding. I don't know what
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the hell they were understanding, because during this memo of understanding,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: everybody's shooting at everybody. Everything's going on. But it sounds good,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: So why not extended? President Trump says, the strait is open.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Capable of really just destroying the whole place. We don't
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: want to do that. We have got economic sanctions against
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: them like nobody's ever had before. We own in the
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: true sense, we own the hormostrait. If we would hit
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: back one hundred times harder.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So the problem is, if you want to go
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to war, usually you go to war. I listen to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: present again.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Capable of really destroying the whole place, we don't want
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to do that.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Well, see, that's the problem. If you go to war,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to destroy the whole place, supposed to just
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: wipe them out, win the war, that's it. But you
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: don't really want to do that, so that Listen, this
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: guy is a master chess player. In the end. Whenever
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: he looks crazy in the end, he almost always turns
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: out to be right. So maybe he knows what he's
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: doing here, and it'll take a little longer. I can
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: understand that. You know, you don't want to be Hiroshima,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing, and then you have
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to spend ten years rebuilding the country. Now, the problem
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: is everybody in Iran is basically on our site except
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: for the IRGC, the crazy lunatics running it. But apparently
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: apparently there are backdoor talks going on right now. Somehow,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: back channel conversations are taking place. The White House has
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: confirmed that Trump is somehow reached these lunatics and there
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: are back channel negotiations.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know who's negotiating. If it's Steve Whitcoff and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Jared Kushner, very nice, but this may not be the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: negotiation for them. You need like a general Jack Keane
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: or somebody to go in and negotiate this thing. But
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: we are winning the war. Economically, we are absolutely destroying
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the country economically. They've had absolutely no income for quite
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a while, and inflation is like four hundred percent now
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: there in Iran. Just absolute turmoil there. Their currency is worthless.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: So we'll see. But this could be the pattern for
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a while. We have a ceasefire. Ope, we're at war again.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: There's a ceasefire. Oh, we're back at war. It may
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: just go back and forth like that forever. And you
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: know what, who cares? Who cares? Not bothering anybody. You know, Actually,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: if you look at all the polling focus groups, they
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: forget to tell you this, like eighty percent of the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: country couldn't care less what happens in Iran. I know
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: gas prices are high, but if you're in New York,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: they're higher here because of local, state, and federal texts.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: It's about three eighty sometimes four dollars around the country.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It's a little high, but it's way below what we
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: went through for four years at Joe Biden. You know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: this attack at the Central Synagogue, this was a horrible thing.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Central Synagogue is one of the most important synagogues in
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the world. It's here in New York on the East Side.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And it's also very important because they do video streaming
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: services for people around the country. You know, there are
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: people somewhere, you know, they want to go to worship
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: at a synagogue and there's no synagogue where they are, so
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of them turn to Central Synagogue because when
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: every service, they have a live video stream, so wherever
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you are you can watch it and participate that way.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So on this past weekend, a lunatic gets in there.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you see the guy too, A big
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: fat lunatic. You know, usually these mass murderers are looking
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: better shape or these lunatics. But this big fat guy
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: in a T shirt comes in and gets up and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: starts charging up the aisle. Security tries to stop and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: me punch his securities. Awful, awful, awful incident and horrible.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a Central Synagogue. There's no bigger
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: hate crime than this. Now, I'll give mom Donnie credit,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I guess, because he did come out and totally denounced this.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: But that's all that yelling out there, A lot of
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: screaming out of the hall way. I don't know, somebody's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: having a union meeting out there, I think. But Mom
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Donnie really did put out a strong statement denouncing this
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: sort of stuff. Then now the rest of the time,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: every other second of the year, he's the biggest anti
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: semite on earth. But he did put out the right
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: statement on this. Now you got some crazy Democrats, absolutely
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: crazy democrats, say well, he was a free speech, he
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: had a right to protest, a right. No, it was
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: an out and out hate crime. And this crazy democrat,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: one of these lawmakers, it's not a crime. And he
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: was just simply simply speaking. Actually, I hate to break
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it to you, it was an ex Mom Donnie staff member.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: In fact, she runs the video agency that he used
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: for all those TikTok videos. And she said, and apparently
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the guy was Jewish, so it's not a hate crime.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: He was just lashing out. I would not call that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: anti semitic. I would just call it speaking it. Well,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: it is anti semitic. It is a hate crime. And
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the guy's been arrested and charged with hate crimes, even
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: by crazy Alvin Bragg. His name is Larry Montees. He's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: been charged two counts of assault as a hate crime,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: two counts of aggravated harassment, one count of criminal mischief
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: as a hate crime. But again, she works for the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: video agency that does the video for Mom Donnie. Her
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: company also did Bernie Sanders Brad Lander, so left wing,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: crazy crazy coochs Hey. By the way, the President was
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: in Long Island on Friday, big speech, and he totally
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: denounced Letitia James and endorsed her opponent. Latitia James is
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: up for reelection. You can get rid of her an event.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Now there's a good chance of this because you know
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it's tough in New York City, but it's a statewide race.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: So let's all get behind her opponent, Saitha kamal ready.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Now this is going to be the only problem pronouncing
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: this name, so be the kamel ready, Well, just vote
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: for the Republican who's running against Letitia James. But President
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Friday in Long Island, it's my great honor to endorse
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: her as the next attorney general, he said, between Kathy
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Hockle and the most corrupt attorney general in the country,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Latitia James, New York has just gone to hell. Well,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman hopefully gets elected. I'm pretty sure he will
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: in November. And you get rid of Letitia James and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: get a normal, legitimate US attorney. Letitia James bringing the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: craziest cases, that case against Trump about his bank loan,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: which was absolutely redic because remember there was a four
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five million dollar judgment against Trump. Now
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: an appeals court has thrown out that judgment, wiped it
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: out completely. It's gone. Hey, speaking of these crazy Democrats,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you know, there's this Brooklyn assembly woman. This is who's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in the state Assembly, Emily Gallagher. These kind of people.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: This assembly woman starts yelling and screaming that shoplifting is
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: not a crime. Shoplifters have a right to swipe items
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: like soap and toothpaste. This is one of those bleeding heart, idiot, lunatic, socialist,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: crazy nutshob Democrats. We should not make shoplifting illegal. She
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: actually says shoplifting should be legalized. Well, it's not shoplifting.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is the way they think, and this
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: is the democrat socialist mentality. The just blurt stuff out
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and then you never tell you what's next, what's after that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: If you legalize shoplifting and everybody could come in and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: just take everything and not pay, what's next? Well, what's
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: next is the stores closed. They're not going to stay
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: open because they'll be losing a fortune every day. You
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: have to close immediately. You remember in San Francisco there
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: was a period where they did not enforce the shoplifting laws.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: They decided not to enforce them, and everybody was shoplifting,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and everybody closed. All the businesses closed, Starbucks, all the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: big chains, the drug stores, everything, and all of a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: sudden in these parts of San Francisco, no stores, no
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: drug stores, they all closed and left. So that's the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: problem with these crazy democrats, and they're just children. They
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: just yell out legalized shoplifting to fund the police. Just childish.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: But they never tell you what's next, then what happens,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and then what the hell do you do about that?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Trump really went after Hochel in that speech,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: came out very very strong for Blakeman, and brought out
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: all the new FBI statistics. Crime is down now here
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: in New York. You're going to keep hearing about crime
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: way down.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Mom.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Donnie is touting that the lowest crime numbers in decades.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Crime the lowest level in decade. Yeah. The problem is
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: it did come down as far as shootings and murders,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: but it's up and subway crime, it's up in robberies,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: it's up in rape. So that's a problem. Now Luigi
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Mangione making some kind of deal. He's got pretty good lawyers,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: all the top lawyers watching the SAITE lawyers are brilliant
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: at what they're doing. Because there's no way out of this.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Luigi Mangione shot that healthcare executive on video. You can
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: see it every into Manhattan surveillance cameras and was right
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: over there on that corner and you can see him
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: shoot the guy. You can see him flee. You can
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: see him going to that alley with his backpack, change
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: his clothes, you know, because police have a description. They're
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: looking for a guy wearing this. You quickly change your
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: clothes and now you don't match the description. So they
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: got him. There's no way out of it. So he
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: pled guilty in federal court, hoping to go to federal prison,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: which is a lot safer than state prison. And they
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: say in prison, you know, guys get attacked and used sexually.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: They say a guy like Mangione, young, good looking, would
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: be a prime target. So he's doing this to go
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: to federal prison, not state prison. Now, this whole thing
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: about him being good looking, having groupies, fans, fans everywhere,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: groupies all over the first of us. He's that good looking,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He's kind of mangy looking, isn't he
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: kind of? I mean he's got that rough like Lenny
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Bruce kind of looked to him. I don't know. But
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: here's the police Commissioner, Jessica Tish.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: To those who idolize Luigi Manioni, Mangioni, I say this
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: violence is not a cause, murder is not a message,
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: and a killer he certainly not a hero.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Well that's a nice message, but you're talking to crazy democrats,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you're talking to crazy liberals.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: The prosecutor, there are no accommodations or concessions, and we
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: are free to seek the maximum penalty under the law.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: This was not a spontaneous act of violence. It was deliberate, calculated,
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: and premeditated.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Now, Manngioni, he seems to have some pretty sharp lawyers.
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: Like the thousands of people who've reached out since this
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: tragedy to share their own experiences, he believed that the
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: system had failed him and destroyed his life.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, but it's not gonna mean anything to a judge.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: Ess, it was a single tragic event. Yet he's being
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: prosecuted twice for the same conduct.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Good prosecute him ten times if you can. He's a killer,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a cold blooded killer. Hey, you know the Democrats have
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: changed the primary schedule. This is a big deal. You know,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: in any presidential election, New Hampshire's always first. There's the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire primary, there's the Iowa caucus. Well, they're redoing
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the whole schedule, and New Hampshire's not happy. They got
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: moved to like fourth. They'll be like the fourth primary. Now.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: They moved Michigan way up, so it's in the first five.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: But the crazy part is they moved South Carolina to
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: number one. In the next presidential election for the Democrats,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: South Carolina will be the first primary. Now. South Carolina
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: is where all the crazy stuff happens. You remember last time, well,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: actually twenty twenty, it was all they had like twelve
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: candidates in the race and Biden was way in the rear.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: And then they got to South Carolina, where a funny
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: business always happens. So the night before the primary, everybody
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: was ordered out of the race. They were told to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: drop out, Pete Bootajege had to drop out, Elizabeth Warren
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: had to drop out, Bernie Sanders had to drop out.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: They were all forced, threatened or bribed by the Democrats
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: to get out. So everybody resigned the night before, and
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: that's how Biden won. In South Carolina. James Clyburn a
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: lot of control there, He controls the Democratic stuff. In
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Scout Carolina, he wanted Biden and that's how he got
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the nomination. So they've moved this state up to first
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: in the primary. It'll be the first primary. And sometimes
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: you pick the rig state where you can control everything,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and that way you pick who you want. And he's
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: got the momentum here or she's got the momentum going
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: into the other primary. So that's the reason to do that.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: AOC is now being talked about as the front runner
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: for twenty twenty eight, and then you get all that, well,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: a woman can't win whenever a woman. Look at Hillary,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: she was up against Donald Trump. She wasn't gonna win
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: against that. Also, Hillary is the most leezy awful politician.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: She ran the world's worst campaign. She had nothing to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: do with being a woman. There was one guy who
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: was one political analyst, and they said, it's not a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: case of can a woman be elected? Will Americans elect
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the first woman president? He said, the question is would
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: they elect the first moron president? Complete moron. That's the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: problem with AOC, And we tried it with Kamala Harris.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Nothing to have been a woman. She's just a low
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: IQ drunken idiot. I mean, that's the reason she couldn't win. Hey,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: it will take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: three two one zero seven ten.
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: Mark Simon Mixter, New York Now three hours every weekday

  Speaker 1: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two

• 16:04
  Speaker 1: We were just talking about South Carolina. Stuart, how you doing.
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, that's why I called. You know, when the
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: Democrats want to run the prim right here first, it's
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: because of this guy Clyburn and Orangeburg. You know, I
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: don't want people to think that, you know, South Carolina
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: is a Democrat. I mean we're suddenly Trump state. But Clyburn,
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: Orangeburg is a very black city, high crime rate, and
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: he's the one that got Biden in and that's why
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: they want to continue what they did before. But Clyburn
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: is an absolute nightmare and everything is they're doing it
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: because of Clyburn, and in Orangeburg they will deliver solidly
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: for the Democrats.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Now, you're a law enforcement guy for years, right, Yeah, sure, yeah, Clyburn.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: You see him on TV. He looks like a wonderful,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: sweet grandfather type of a wonderful guy. But behind the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: scenes he's the worst guy in the worlds All he
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: is is.
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: An absolute nightmare. He's a blubbering, blabbering idiot. And it's
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: just it's just awful.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: His district just a crime ridden shambles. He does nothing
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 17:11

• 17:25
  Speaker 4: I heard you a few above an hour ago talking
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: to some people from New York complaining about the high
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: gas prices. Yeah, gas prices as of South Carolina as
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: a Friday in South Carolina by regular gas for two
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: ninety four gallon.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I know, but at South Carolina you got nowhere to go.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Here in New York, we got places to go things
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: that do.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: I go to Florida, I go to kid Yeah. I
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: was up in Virginia beaches, so a lot higher every
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: place else.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: It's all taxes, yeah, it's all taxes to ninety a gallon.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: All right, good, thanks for letting us know. Craig, take care.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Norman and Long Island. How you doing good?
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: How are you Mark good?
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: I have a question for you. Is there any common
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: ground that the Republicans running against these crazies in New
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: York could make what you guys who lost like Espinal
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: and Goldman's voting.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Crew, why would you want common ground?
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: Well, maybe we can get them over to vote for Republicans.
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: Oh no, no, no, the Democrats are in Democrats anymore.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't work that way. Common ground, you can't say, well,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: all right, a little socialism is okay. There's no common
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: ground with those lunatics. And the good news is now
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: in New York City the demographics just lean to Democratics.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: But around the state people are pretty common sense, and
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: you got a lot of like the most important thing
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: is independent voters. Democrats slowly but surely losing all the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: independent voters who don't believe in defunding the police, who
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: don't believe in open borders, don't don't believe in any
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: of that stuff. Let's go to Terry in uh this
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: man of hawking? Did they say it right?
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Terry?
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: That's it? And Democrats have the commedies and the Republicans
• 19:13
  Speaker 10: have the useful idiots.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Just come here legally.
• 19:15
  Speaker 10: You see all these flakes that are coming here legally.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Mark?
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Now where are you from originally? Terry Bronx, New York?
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: And how's the How's New Jersey? You like it there?
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: New Jersey? Well, the thing is about Jersey.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: It's kind of quiet.
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: As you get older, you don't.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Mind why that turn by quiet? You know, trus.
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: Everybody sees the turnpike and Route nine. Yeah, but once
• 19:43
  Speaker 10: you get into the into the home neighborhoods and communities, it's.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Nice there, very beautiful. It takes you three hours to
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: get off the turnpike get to those neighborhoods.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: But then is don't go, but don't go on the
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: turnpike in those hours when everybody's leaving the beach at
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: the same time.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Come on, all right, stop yelling.
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: I want le'd just tell you something. Your show is great.
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: It really is fabulous, and I think you should.
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: Be on twenty four hours a day, even though I
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: know you hate three hours.
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying, I'm mad.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Well, uh, actually, you could listen to me twenty four
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: hours a day. Just get the podcast. You can listen.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: You can play it over and over again. You want
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: to hear so much, let's listen to Let's go to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Dennis in Long Island. Dennis, how are you well?
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: Good morning? More Listen, years ago when you would go
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: and guess up on the pump would be a list
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: of all the taxes that you had it.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but they had to take that down because
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: it's embarrassing.
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: Well, there you go. They have the answer everybody's feeling
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: from us.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Well, it's just a tax you to death. Like you
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: just have a guy who just called from South Carolina.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: He just paid two ninety a gallon. That's what gas
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: is there, But it's for eighty here. It's taxes, state taxes,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: federal taxes, A lot of state tax in New York.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: It's not just tax, but they put all these fees
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: on it. You know, this green scheme climate change. So
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: if you if your car has an engine, you get
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: an extra fee on the gas. If you if you
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: want to drive it, that's another fee. They just go
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: crazy driving up the price of gas. Let's go to
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Richard and Bayshore. Richard, how you doing.
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: I'm doing well, mar good morning. You know when the
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: government announces the national average price for gasoline, they should
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: do it two ways. California uses nine percent of old gasoline.
• 21:33
  Speaker 11: If you subtract that out, the national price is well
• 21:35
  Speaker 11: below three dollars. Yeah, and I think that they could
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: bash Newsom at the same time as showing that it's
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: really not that bad.
• 21:44
  Speaker 12: For most of the country.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But remember for Newsom, he's proud that he's charging
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: a fortune for gas because he's fighting for climate change.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Let's go to line one, line one. How you doing.
• 21:57
  Speaker 12: Oh Hi built from Newton, newbidy.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Bill, how are you doing?
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: Good?
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Good?
• 22:02
  Speaker 12: Good? A quick question about ICE. I support them one
• 22:06
  Speaker 12: thousand percent, and I'm just wondering if you know how
• 22:10
  Speaker 12: they monitor the population of illegal immigrants, because I know
• 22:14
  Speaker 12: in places like obviously Patterson and Noyark. That's all obvious.
• 22:19
  Speaker 12: But Dover, New Jersey is loaded. And how did they
• 22:23
  Speaker 12: know who was where?
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Well, they're law enforcement. They got all kinds of ways
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: of checking everything, checking who works where. Then they can
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: check to see who's a citizen who isn't. Now they're
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: supposed to start off just with the criminal illegals, So
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: anybody who's been arrested for anything, then they check their
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: citizenship status and then they go after them. Which it's
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: a good idea. Start with the criminals because if you
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: get criminals out of here, off the streets, you bring
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: crime down. And the proof that that's working, as the
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: President announced on Friday, the new FBI crime numbers show
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: a dramatic drop in crime all over the country, so
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: it's actually working. Hey, we got a lot coming up.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the Sopranos. You won't believe what one
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: of the cast members now does for a living. And
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: we'll get to Ukraine and looks like Putin's losing. Looks
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: like Putin may have to enter peace talks. We'll give
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: you all the details coming up. We'll get to that
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: and a whole lot more just ahead. We'll get to
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie and his Crazy vacation, and we'll talk to
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Michael Goodwin, the greatest columnist in America. Coming up next,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: It's The Mark Simon Show Live from the WR Life
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Back Studios. Well, Michael Goodwin considered to be the best
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: columnist in America. It's great columns every Sunday, every Wednesday
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: in the New York Post and all his columns are
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: up on the New York Post website. And he's with
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: us now. Michael Goodwin, how you doing.
• 23:50
  Speaker 12: Good morning, Mark, Thank you, Hey, this.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Is quite a column. You wrote about the woke movement
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and you said the woke fever has broken, the movement
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: is wounded. What makes you say that?
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Well, look, I think the case in the Midwest where
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Francisca harm lost the race and it was over tweets
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: and other social media posts where she called her canceling
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Thanksgiving and defunding the police, and I think especially those two.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: There were many others, but those two caught the attention
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: of a lot of voters who said, wow, you know,
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: we're for all kinds of changes, but we don't think
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: we're going to go that far. And so I think
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: what she did was she lost the middle and that's
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: an important task of how far can the woke agenda
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: attract the middle class, stable voters, stable families, and she fell.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Now it was a very close race, nonetheless, but I
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: still think this is a moment. And in addition, Mark,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: you have AOC and uh Mamdani both refuting the idea
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: that defunding the police is a good idea, And so
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: I think that this is this is kind of a
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: moment where the fever has broken. It's not like they're
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: going to sweep through the country. So they're wounded, but
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: they're not dead. They can still do a lot of
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: damnages and are Nonetheless, I think this moment, when we
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: look back at it, could reflect the turning point where
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: sort of democratic voters and even the Democratic Party itself
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: wakes up to coin a phrase to the dammage that
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: has been done by the far left.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So what makes you think they're not just backing
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: off the defund the police and a couple other things
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: just till after the mid term and then they'll go
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: right back to it.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Well, that's possible, but I think on the other hand,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: it's also I think more possible, more probable that the
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: mainstream Democrats, such as it is these days, that that
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: part of the party will will see this as a
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: formula for disaster, that will have to see what happened
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: in the general election. Will l CID win in the
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Michigan Center rates, for example, and there are other candidates,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: of course, But I think it is possibly a moment
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: where the Democratic base finds its nerves and finds its voice.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: You know, someone the other day mentioned the doll Clinton's moment,
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: you know, where he said that, you know, advocating violence
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: against whites by blacks were simply non acceptable, and that
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: was a big event for him to show that he
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: distinguished himself from the radicals in his own party. So
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I think that's what we need to hear today from
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Democratic leaders. Chuck Schumer won't go there, but so I
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: think the question is is there a mainstream moderate Democrat
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: like John Fetterman, for example, who will come out and
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: say enough.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: We're not doing that anymore.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: We're changing, we're changing the message. We want to appeal
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: to the solid middle spectrum of American politics.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I's been saying that for months. They just
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: don't listen to him.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Well, it's right, and you know, the sister Soldier moment,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: No Clinton, I think is what we need for more Democrats.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: This has draw the line. I think we may see
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: some of that in Michigan before this race is over.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: I think we'll see eventually in New York City, which
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: of course is extreme by most measurements, whether Mam Dannie,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: with his push against the middle class and destroying so
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: many institutions in New York, whether somebody will blow the
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: whistle on that. Look, a lot of people have left,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: gone to Florida, another friendly of climes. But I believe
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: there is still a kind of silent majority here that
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: doesn't want to go that far. We haven't seen it yet,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: but it has to find its voice if this nonsense
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: is to be stopped.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when it comes to mom Donnie, we're talking to
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Michael Goodwin. Some people think you don't need to worry
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: that much. As he's all talk, you'll get nothing done.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: He's like the Blasio just talks, doesn't work, never goes
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: to the office. You'll never see the grocery stores, you'll
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: never see the free buses. So what do you think,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe it won't be that bad.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't count on that. I mean, I think
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: he can do a lot of dambus market. I've argued
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: that there are two trip wires for a mayor that
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: we've seen in the last fifty years. One is the
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: financials this situation, and he's already playing with fire on
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: that in terms of the credit markets and New York
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: being too expensive to buy the bonds and everything. The
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: bonds don't do well. You lose money if you buy
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: New York City bonds.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: The other one is grime.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: Now, so far he has been pretty careful on issues
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: of violence and that sort of thing, but he hasn't
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: really embraced the police, and his next move maybe to
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: cut the police department somewhat. He vetoed the idea of
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: adding officers, but we'll see. I mean, at the same time,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: he's very fortunate that Jessicatation her team at the NYTD
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: have organized themselves and gone after the hard criminals and
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: had managed to reduce shootings and other violent crimes to
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: a large extent. But that's always a very tenuous situation
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: when the mayor isn't dig on changing some of the laws,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: so this could reverse itself. So those are the two
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: areas where I think a mayor gets to be Undone.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Hey, The good news is the city Council speaker, Julie
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: mening is pretty common sense Democrat. For instance, she's fighting
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: to get six thousand more cops. She should be able
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: to get that passed. Stuff like that, So wouldn't that
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: kind of keep New York together? Kind of counter mom, Donnie, I.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Have believed that Julie Mennon, as you do, Mark, has
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: the potential to do that. In my view, she has
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: been inconsistent, and I'm not sure how much support she
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: has within the council. She may have a majority or
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: she may not. So I think that she's kind of
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: feeling her way on these things, and theirs thought that
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: she very much wants to be the next mayor. But
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: I think she's going to have to make a more
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: substantial standing than she has so far. She said some
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: of the right things some of the time, but she
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: has nothing consistent and there's not much the point to
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: by way of actual legislation that would change the dynamic
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: in the city.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, that's a fair point. Well, Michael Goodwin, keep
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: up the great work. Go read his column. Yesterday's column.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: It's up on the New York Post website, and you
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: can read him every Sunday every Wednesday in the New
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: York Post. Michael Goodwin, thanks for being with us.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Oh it's a pleasure. Thank you.
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: Mark.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Take care. Hey, we've got a lot coming up. We'll
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: get to a daylight saving time. You remember the idea
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: of making it permanent, the President pushing that. Now, I
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: wish you had pushed it earlier, so we could get
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: this done by when do we go off daylight saving time?
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: October November something like that. But the idea would be
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: to make it permanent, and that way, in the worst
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: part of winter, when it gets dark, like at four
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: forty five, it would be five forty five. I mean
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: it's already getting dark like seven point fifteen now, so
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: present back on that. Hopefully he pushes that through now.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: That would be good before the midterm. Stuff like that
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: would be good anyway. Don't forget that noon, don't forget
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I'm on nine to noon every day. We start an
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: hour earlier. Now this show is now three hours. It's
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: now nine to noon every day, nine o'clock to twelve noon.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Then at twelve noon you got Buck and Clay. That's
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: a really good show you should listen to every day
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: noon to three. Then you got the most listened to
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: radio show in America, Sean Hannity at three. You got
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly at six o'clock every night, Jimmy Fayla, What
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: a funny show. You love his show. It's every night
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: now nine pm to midnight on seven to ten. WR
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Mark Simon, mister New York Now three hours every weekday
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: from nine till noon on seven ten, double off. Yeah
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: where was I?
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah? The president daylight saving time. He wants to make
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: it permanent. You know, it's actually called it passed the
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: House already. It's already been passed by the House. It's
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: called the sun Shine Protection Act. And it passed the
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: House threeh eight to one seventeen, so pretty much a
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: landslide there. Now it has to go to the Senate.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: President Trump has his own name, but he calls it
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the No More Changing the Clocks Act, No More Changing
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: the Clocks Act. So the Senate has to vote on
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: it now, and he's pushing them. It went to the
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: back burner there, but he's pushing them to get this
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: thing passed. There are certain states. Arizona never changes their clocks. Hawaii,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: they never changed the clocks. It makes life a lot
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: easier now it only catches well. Then it's darker earlier
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: in the morning. Instead of getting light out at six,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: it might not get light out till seven. And they
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: always used to say it's bad for the farmers, but
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty six, you know the farmers. They'll figure
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: out something. So the Sunshine Protection Act. He's pushing the
