Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You're listening to the Mark Simone Show. Hey, it's Tuesday,
- 0:13Speaker 1: and it's like summer today. You're gonna have three days
- 0:16Speaker 1: of summer, like eighty something degrees. It's gonna go back
- 0:19Speaker 1: to being in the fifties next week sixties. But you
- 0:22Speaker 1: get the three day summer previews, So enjoy it. What
- 0:27Speaker 1: the hell happened with the Red Sox left? So the
- 0:28Speaker 1: Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crotchett Red Sox versus Twins game begins,
- 0:36Speaker 1: Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crotchet on the mound disaster gives
- 0:40Speaker 1: up eleven runs and two innings. Eleven runs total, meltdown
- 0:46Speaker 1: eleven runs and two innings. It's eleven to nothing at
- 0:50Speaker 1: the end of two. What are you gonna do? Well? Yeah,
- 0:52Speaker 1: and the Red Sox ended up losing thirteen to three.
- 0:56Speaker 1: You know, even great great pictures. Remember that famous Whitey
- 0:59Speaker 1: Ford story, the big great Yankee legend. Whitey Ford. He
- 1:04Speaker 1: is early sixties Yankees. He comes out. First pitch, he
- 1:08Speaker 1: throws the first pitch, batter hits a home run. First pitch,
- 1:14Speaker 1: next batter, Whitey Ford throws one pitch, batter hits a triple.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Next batter, Whitey Ford throws one pitch, batter hits a single.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Next batter, whitey Ford throws one pitch, batter hits another
- 1:28Speaker 1: home run. Finally, the manager comes out to the mound
- 1:31Speaker 1: and the catcher, Yogi Bear, runs up to the mount
- 1:34Speaker 1: and the manager turns to Yogi Yogi does he have
- 1:36Speaker 1: it tonight? And yog goes, how the hell would I know?
- 1:39Speaker 1: I haven't caught anything yet. I haven't caught a pitch.
- 1:42Speaker 1: So that was probably the worst opening of any pitcher. Hey,
- 1:46Speaker 1: you Democrats, you may have a problem. Yesterday, Hillary Clinton
- 1:53Speaker 1: is all of a sudden on Morning Joe, and I
- 1:57Speaker 1: was a little surprised. Morning Joe says, coming up the
- 2:00Speaker 1: next hour, Hillary Clinton will be with us. I can't
- 2:03Speaker 1: believe that Hillary Clinton's going to show up at MS
- 2:07Speaker 1: now in their little tiny news studio. I remember they
- 2:10Speaker 1: were thrown out of NBC at this little studio Times
- 2:13Speaker 1: Square at eight in the morning. Well, she didn't show up.
- 2:16Speaker 1: It was on the phone. That's how much she thinks
- 2:18Speaker 1: of Morning Joe and their three hundred thousand viewers. Yeah,
- 2:22Speaker 1: I'll just call in, but they kept her on a
- 2:24Speaker 1: long time, So she was on for about a half
- 2:26Speaker 1: hour talking about her ran talking about how bad Trump is.
- 2:29Speaker 1: All this is Hillary for happening. Then I noticed the
- 2:35Speaker 1: rest of the day, Hillary's on a lot of shows.
- 2:37Speaker 1: You may have a problem. She's on with Anderson Cooper,
- 2:41Speaker 1: She's on with CBS, She's all over the place. Is
- 2:44Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton? I think she's getting ready to run in
- 2:49Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. You're going to have a problem here.
- 2:53Speaker 1: You know, Gavin Newsom has been the front runner, but
- 2:56Speaker 1: he's not going any place. He's not going to make it,
- 2:58Speaker 1: and he's got this crazy wife who's really sinking everything
- 3:01Speaker 1: for him. But you got to remember the history of
- 3:04Speaker 1: Democratic presidential campaigns. If you go back through the past
- 3:08Speaker 1: three years out, four years out, there's always some pretty
- 3:12Speaker 1: boy who emerges as the big front runner. And whoever
- 3:15Speaker 1: that is right now, it's Gavin Newsom, But whoever that
- 3:18Speaker 1: is always fizzles out and bombs out and is gone.
- 3:21Speaker 1: In the past, it was John Edwards, in the past,
- 3:23Speaker 1: it was Gary Hart. There's always been a bunch of them,
- 3:27Speaker 1: but whoever's in front now never gets any place, never
- 3:29Speaker 1: goes any place. And then there were other people, some
- 3:34Speaker 1: of these governors, but none of them look like they're
- 3:36Speaker 1: going to really take off and then well, what about
- 3:39Speaker 1: Kamala Harrismith. She says she'll run again. But in California,
- 3:45Speaker 1: Eric Swaalwell having to give up his career and leave
- 3:50Speaker 1: a public life. That changes the whole governor's race in California.
- 3:56Speaker 1: It looked like he'd be the front runner. Run will
- 4:00Speaker 1: be Tom Steyer, who's got no chance. He's got no personality,
- 4:05Speaker 1: he's just unpleasant guy. So somebody could jump in there.
- 4:09Speaker 1: And now Kamala Harris, apparently behind the scenes, is looking
- 4:12Speaker 1: at running for governor California. She's seriously talking about jumping
- 4:16Speaker 1: into that race. Remember it's a one party state. If
- 4:19Speaker 1: you win as the Democratic nominee, you win the governorship.
- 4:23Speaker 1: So she's seriously looking at the governor's race. That takes
- 4:27Speaker 1: her out of the presidential race. So you got a problem.
- 4:32Speaker 1: I think Hillary is back. She was all over television's
- 4:34Speaker 1: doing a lot of shows yesterday. Now she's this angry,
- 4:39Speaker 1: bitter woman. Lives up in that Chappaqua estate there. He's
- 4:42Speaker 1: also got a big, beautiful townhouse Georgetown, Washington, DC. But
- 4:47Speaker 1: she's like the old lady in Sunset Boulevard. He's drinking
- 4:50Speaker 1: all day, yelling and screaming, about making a comeback. But
- 4:53Speaker 1: here she was on CBS yesterday in retrospect.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Do you think Bill should have resigned in the wake
- 5:00Speaker 2: of the Monica Lewinsky scan? Absolutely not. It wasn't an
- 5:03Speaker 2: abusive power.
- 5:04Speaker 1: No.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Now there are people who look at the incidents of
- 5:08Speaker 2: the nineties and they say, a president of the United
- 5:11Speaker 2: States cannot have a consensual relationship with an intern. The
- 5:15Speaker 2: power imbalances to was an adult.
- 5:19Speaker 1: This is actually pretty funny. This is a real change
- 5:22Speaker 1: in tune. I know it's many years later. How many
- 5:27Speaker 1: years later is it. Yeah, it's like twenty five years later.
- 5:31Speaker 1: But to now act like we'ren't doing anything wrong, But no,
- 5:37Speaker 1: I was anything wrong with No. Yeah, the president of
- 5:41Speaker 1: the United States, you're not really supposed to be banging
- 5:44Speaker 1: interns right in the Oval Office on the floor of
- 5:47Speaker 1: the Oval. You're not supposed to be doing that. Remember,
- 5:49Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan would never take his jacket off in the
- 5:53Speaker 1: Oval Office. He thought it'd be disrespectful. Even if he
- 5:57Speaker 1: came in, you know, sometimes you'd come in on a
- 5:58Speaker 1: Saturday to do some work. He would never come in
- 6:01Speaker 1: without his jacket on. He thought it was disrespectful to
- 6:03Speaker 1: the Oval office. Compare that to Bill Clinton, took his
- 6:06Speaker 1: shirt off, took his pants off, took us at me
- 6:09Speaker 1: right in the Oval office. Let me hear that again,
- 6:12Speaker 1: she said. I mean even back then, remember when Clinton
- 6:17Speaker 1: finally had to confess indeed, I did have an inappropriate
- 6:20Speaker 1: affair with that Miss Lewinsky, and Hillary had to look
- 6:25Speaker 1: all upset, and you know, I mean, clearly it was right.
- 6:29Speaker 1: You can't justify this. But now this is going to
- 6:31Speaker 1: be her new attitude. We didn't do anything wrong. It
- 6:34Speaker 1: wasn't appraise she was an adult.
- 6:35Speaker 2: It was in retrospect. Do you think Bill should have
- 6:39Speaker 2: resigned in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scan? Absolutely not.
- 6:43Speaker 2: It wasn't an abusive power No, no, no.
- 6:47Speaker 1: Well, you know, in any company, any corporation, any business,
- 6:52Speaker 1: if you're the big executive and you're forty eight years
- 6:56Speaker 1: old and you're sleeping with an underling and I'm he
- 7:00Speaker 1: was like only thirty. Any time an executive is sleeping
- 7:04Speaker 1: with somebody under him, no pun intended, You're you're not
- 7:08Speaker 1: supposed to. This is you get fired. In every company
- 7:11Speaker 1: the world, everybody gets fired because it's an imbalance of power. Now,
- 7:16Speaker 1: this would be the greatest single imbalance of power in
- 7:19Speaker 1: the history of the Earth. One's an intern, one's president
- 7:24Speaker 1: of the United States. If you were the vice president
- 7:28Speaker 1: of sales and she was one of the salespeople, that's
- 7:34Speaker 1: right there, you get fired. This is an intern, a
- 7:37Speaker 1: little intern, versus the president the United States. So she's
- 7:41Speaker 1: saying it's not it's it's not inappropriate.
- 7:45Speaker 2: It's ridiculous people who look at the incidents of the
- 7:48Speaker 2: nineties and they say a president of the United States
- 7:51Speaker 2: cannot have a consensual relationship with an intern. The power
- 7:56Speaker 2: imbalance is to was an adult.
- 7:58Speaker 1: She was an adult twenty two starstruck. I mean twenty two,
- 8:05Speaker 1: and she wasn't the most mature twenty two year olds.
- 8:07Speaker 1: So I think you got a problem with Democrats. She's
- 8:10Speaker 1: running again. You're not getting rid of her. She's back.
- 8:14Speaker 1: And also I'm sure she's terrified of running against Donald
- 8:19Speaker 1: Trump because remember he just brutalized her in three debates.
- 8:21Speaker 1: He just slapped her around in those debates. So Trump
- 8:24Speaker 1: can't run, he's term limited out. So she's probably thinking
- 8:28Speaker 1: to herself, I don't want to tangle him again. But
- 8:30Speaker 1: I could beat Marco Rubio, I can beat jd Vance
- 8:33Speaker 1: And what would Rubio run on his qualifications are secretary
- 8:38Speaker 1: of state? Well so was she? What's fans qualificing? I
- 8:43Speaker 1: was the vice president? Well so was she? Kind of
- 8:45Speaker 1: to Bill Clinton, So yeah, I think you can have
- 8:50Speaker 1: a problem. You're not getting rid of her that easy.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Victor Orban, Hungary's leader, a strong man or a band
- 8:57Speaker 1: out of power. Hey, by the way, you know they're acting.
- 9:00Speaker 1: It's a big, big shock. It was not a shock
- 9:02Speaker 1: to anybody. Or Band's polling showed he would lose. He
- 9:05Speaker 1: had John McLaughlin, the greatest polster in the world. But
- 9:08Speaker 1: from what I hear, the polls, his private polls showed
- 9:11Speaker 1: he wasn't going to make it. They really seriously didn't
- 9:13Speaker 1: think he'd make it. Or Band had all kinds of
- 9:16Speaker 1: problems from the funny business of money, corruption and all
- 9:22Speaker 1: kinds of things all over the place in Hungary, a
- 9:24Speaker 1: lot of corruption there. Also, he'd gotten too close to Putin.
- 9:30Speaker 1: He got way too tangled up with Putin. People didn't
- 9:33Speaker 1: like that, and they just wanted him gone. Hey, Congress
- 9:37Speaker 1: is back today in Washington, DC. Yeah, they took a
- 9:40Speaker 1: three week vacation. It's today the fourteenth. Yeah, three weeks
- 9:45Speaker 1: later they're back. Three weeks they got a vacation. They
- 9:49Speaker 1: just write this stuff into the rules. They get a
- 9:50Speaker 1: three week vacation for Easter, so they're back today. We'll
- 9:54Speaker 1: see what they do. You know, this Hassan Piker. You're
- 9:58Speaker 1: going to hear about this guy lot Hassan Piker. There's
- 10:01Speaker 1: a lot of scandal going on here, but just you'll
- 10:05Speaker 1: hear the name and not maybe not know what it is.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Joe Rogan is the biggest thing on earth, especially for Republicans,
- 10:11Speaker 1: because Rogan's podcast can change elections, can really affect things.
- 10:19Speaker 1: I think it's one of the reasons, one of the
- 10:21Speaker 1: major reasons Donald Trump won. Remember when he did Joe
- 10:24Speaker 1: Rogan's podcast and it was about two hours, it got
- 10:28Speaker 1: to eighty million people. You know, in the old days,
- 10:32Speaker 1: if you want to become president, you have to buy
- 10:34Speaker 1: these TV commercials, you run network TV commercials. Well, nowadays
- 10:37Speaker 1: those don't mean a damn thing. Nobody watches network TV anymore.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Two million people at the most, if you're lucky, maybe
- 10:45Speaker 1: a million and a half. That's all you're reaching with
- 10:47Speaker 1: those TV commercials. If you're on Joe Rogan's podcast, you're
- 10:52Speaker 1: talking to eighty million people. Even if it's not great
- 10:56Speaker 1: like Kamala or somebody like that. You know, you might
- 10:59Speaker 1: get to even if it's not the biggest Joe Rogan podcast,
- 11:02Speaker 1: you'll get the forty five million people, but eighty million people.
- 11:05Speaker 1: So it's a very very powerful thing. You know. It's
- 11:10Speaker 1: like talk radio. Rush Limbaugh was the biggest thing in
- 11:14Speaker 1: talk radio. To be endorsed by Rush or get some
- 11:17Speaker 1: good coverage on Russia. Why that meant the world. So Republicans,
- 11:23Speaker 1: conservatives tend to totally dominate talk radio. So for years, Democrats,
- 11:29Speaker 1: we've got to get that going for us. We need that.
- 11:31Speaker 1: So they created Air America trying to create their own
- 11:36Speaker 1: Rush Limbo. They came up with the worst host you
- 11:38Speaker 1: ever saw. The big star was Al Franken. You remember
- 11:41Speaker 1: Al Franken. They thought he'll be a good talk show host.
- 11:45Speaker 1: And he came in and he talked like this, Al
- 11:48Speaker 1: Franklin with his voice, and well remember imagine four hours
- 11:51Speaker 1: every guy talking like this. And he did an NPR
- 11:54Speaker 1: kind of show with a lot of NPR type of guests.
- 11:58Speaker 1: And who else did they have on? Well one late
- 12:02Speaker 1: night one was Rachel Maddow who went onto a big career.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Who else was on there was Alf Franken Janine Garafflo, Garrafflo,
- 12:13Speaker 1: whatever name is, you had a show. She was kind
- 12:15Speaker 1: of cute, but like an angry, screaming left wing I
- 12:18Speaker 1: don't remember, and I can't remember who the rest of
- 12:20Speaker 1: them were, but that totally bombs. So what they're doing now,
- 12:23Speaker 1: they're trying to create a Joe Rogan because of these
- 12:27Speaker 1: Joe Rogan types, Conservatives are dominating podcasting, so they're trying
- 12:31Speaker 1: to catch up. So they came up with this Hassan Piker.
- 12:34Speaker 1: They decided this would be their guy. He had what
- 12:38Speaker 1: looked like a pretty popular podcast, so they all got
- 12:41Speaker 1: behind him. Hassan Piker, he'll be our Joe Rogan. Well,
- 12:46Speaker 1: the problem is that people have been digging into Hassan
- 12:48Speaker 1: Piker in the past and his old comments, and it
- 12:51Speaker 1: was all about how Hamas is much much more noble
- 12:54Speaker 1: than Israel. Nine to eleven. We deserved it, We were
- 12:59Speaker 1: awful deserved nine to eleven. They just found tons of antisemitic,
- 13:04Speaker 1: pro terrorist nonsense. So now the Democrats don't know what
- 13:08Speaker 1: the hell they do. Should they distance themselves from a
- 13:10Speaker 1: San Piker. They're too tight into him. So he's going
- 13:14Speaker 1: to be a big, big liability for them. Hey, mom,
- 13:18Speaker 1: Donnie embracing this socialism. You know, you figure, well, it's
- 13:22Speaker 1: easy to be a socialist when you're an Ivy League
- 13:24Speaker 1: college academic idiot on a campus. But when you're actually
- 13:28Speaker 1: in a real job managing a city, you're going to reality.
- 13:31Speaker 1: He'll start to wake you up. Now, Nope, he still
- 13:34Speaker 1: believes in this socialism, even the classic expression about what's
- 13:39Speaker 1: wrong with socialism? Listen me take that on.
- 13:41Speaker 3: I have thought often of the Margaret Chasters quote. The
- 13:44Speaker 3: problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of
- 13:48Speaker 3: other people's money. If anything, my friends, it seems that
- 13:52Speaker 3: you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess.
- 13:57Speaker 1: There you go. Now, this is your typical college mentality,
- 14:04Speaker 1: or Harvard Columbia Ivy League campus mentality. You're like starry eyed, dreaming, idealistic,
- 14:14Speaker 1: believe all this nonsense even though it has no reality
- 14:17Speaker 1: or anything practical about it. So what you still believe it? Hey,
- 14:22Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein begins his third trial today, trying to beat
- 14:26Speaker 1: these rape charges. He's back on trial. When you're a prisoner,
- 14:33Speaker 1: and remember, when you're Harvey Weinstein, you've been living this
- 14:35Speaker 1: life of luxury for decades and all of a sudden,
- 14:37Speaker 1: you're in Rikers Island, you're in prison, and you see,
- 14:41Speaker 1: why keep going back on trial? Why keep fighting the case?
- 14:43Speaker 1: Why keep going back into court? Because if you're in prison,
- 14:48Speaker 1: in a terrible dungeon of a prison, eating prison food,
- 14:53Speaker 1: anytime you can go to court, it's like going to
- 14:55Speaker 1: Monte Carlo. It's like a resort compared to the courtroom.
- 15:00Speaker 1: You're in the courtroom, you get dressed up, You're sitting
- 15:02Speaker 1: in a nice, beautiful room with normal people. There's guards,
- 15:07Speaker 1: it's safe. There's a lot of recesses, breaks, lunch where
- 15:11Speaker 1: you go into the courthouse cafeteria, which is like a
- 15:15Speaker 1: five star dining compared to what you're eating in prison.
- 15:18Speaker 1: So if you can spend the thirty days in a
- 15:20Speaker 1: courtroom every day, it's much much better than sitting in
- 15:24Speaker 1: your prison cell. So they love going back to trial.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Here's kind of a Now, this is an interesting story.
- 15:34Speaker 1: There's a couple of products coming out. You're going to
- 15:36Speaker 1: be hearing about these that they go in your toilet.
- 15:40Speaker 1: One is like a white thing looks like a hockey puck,
- 15:42Speaker 1: an others little you're supposed to put this in your toilet.
- 15:45Speaker 1: It analyzes your urine and all the other stuff that
- 15:49Speaker 1: comes out. It analyzes them because that can tell you
- 15:53Speaker 1: a lot about your health. A lot of times you
- 15:56Speaker 1: go to a doctor for a big physical part of that,
- 15:59Speaker 1: I need a urine sand ample because from that they
- 16:01Speaker 1: can analyze that see all kinds of things about your health.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Same thing with a stool sample. So apparently this is
- 16:08Speaker 1: gonna become a They think this is gonna be huge.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna put this in their toilet and I guess
- 16:13Speaker 1: it bluetooths to your phone and gives you a whole
- 16:16Speaker 1: breakdown of what's in there. It can detect early detection
- 16:19Speaker 1: of any medical problems, diseases, any of that kind of stuff. Now,
- 16:23Speaker 1: the only problem we already have this for sleep, Like
- 16:26Speaker 1: I got my Apple Watch on. I sleep with this,
- 16:28Speaker 1: and I wake up in the morning, first thing I
- 16:31Speaker 1: do is go to my phone and check my sleep score.
- 16:33Speaker 1: I didn't do well last night. I got a low
- 16:35Speaker 1: sleep score. It was awake too much. And then I
- 16:39Speaker 1: have this other one. This is a good tracker. It's
- 16:41Speaker 1: called sleep cycle. This is the best one. Yeah, I
- 16:44Speaker 1: got a low rating on there last night. And then
- 16:46Speaker 1: my snoring nine minutes of snoring it records you snoring too.
- 16:50Speaker 1: You can listen to it. The reason I got a
- 16:52Speaker 1: low score too much talking in my sleep a lot
- 16:58Speaker 1: of Now the truth is I wasn't talking to my
- 17:00Speaker 1: It's the TV. I like to fall asleep with the TV.
- 17:03Speaker 1: So it sounded to this thing like I was talking
- 17:06Speaker 1: in my sleep. It was actually the TV on. But
- 17:10Speaker 1: it drives you nuts because you don't and then you
- 17:12Speaker 1: show it to your doctor, Hey, look at this. This
- 17:13Speaker 1: doesn't it And he kind of rolls his eyes, you know,
- 17:16Speaker 1: stop with your Apple Watch. So that's the problem with
- 17:18Speaker 1: this thing that everybody's gonna put in a toilet. You're
- 17:21Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of false positives, false negatives, false this.
- 17:25Speaker 1: But you're going to be seeing a lot of this. Hey,
- 17:27Speaker 1: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one
- 17:30Speaker 1: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
- 17:34Speaker 1: one zero seven ten
