- 0:00Speaker 1: This is seven tor boy, the Mark Simon Show starts.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Now.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Hey, it's another beautiful, hot, sunny day. Enjoy it because
- 0:12Speaker 3: then it's gonna get cloudy. It's going to rain for
- 0:14Speaker 3: the whole You know, this is not the first time.
- 0:15Speaker 3: Every Memorial Day weekend the last few years. Weather's been bad,
- 0:20Speaker 3: rainy Memorial Day weekends for many years now. But it's
- 0:24Speaker 3: going to be a beautiful, hot day to day. So
- 0:26Speaker 3: we got a lot to get to. Huge, huge victory
- 0:29Speaker 3: last night for President Trump, thirty seven to nothing. We'll
- 0:33Speaker 3: get to that. Let's give you the latest on Iran.
- 0:36Speaker 3: We'll get to the Colbert funeral which is taking place
- 0:40Speaker 3: this week for his show, The Colbert Show Funeral. We'll
- 0:43Speaker 3: get to Hey, you see those hearings yesterday. These Democrats,
- 0:45Speaker 3: they are good at those hearings. Boy, they just beat
- 0:48Speaker 3: up and slap around every wed. And we'll get to that. Hey,
- 0:51Speaker 3: Barney Frank, just we just got the news. Barney Frank
- 0:54Speaker 3: has died. Eighty six years old. Been very ill for
- 0:57Speaker 3: a long time, was in hospice for last few months.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Barney Frank eighty six years old. He was quite the angry,
- 1:06Speaker 3: yelling and screaming far left liberal for his time. If
- 1:10Speaker 3: you brought him back today, he'd looked like a moderate
- 1:12Speaker 3: compared to these Democrats. But we'll take a look at
- 1:15Speaker 3: him a little later on. So the President had a big, big, big,
- 1:22Speaker 3: big night. A lot of people that he endorsed last night,
- 1:25Speaker 3: surprising ones against incumbents, against big, big incumbents like corn
- 1:31Speaker 3: And this has been going on, Cassidy, Massy corn. And
- 1:34Speaker 3: he went against these big incumbents because many of them,
- 1:37Speaker 3: although Republicans got very anti Trump, they were voting against him,
- 1:42Speaker 3: stabbing in the back on all kinds of things. So
- 1:45Speaker 3: he endorsed the opponent, and in every single case his
- 1:50Speaker 3: endorsement carried the opponent to a big victory over the incumbent.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Thirty seven victories last night, zero losses for the president.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Now they'll tell you, of course that he had no coattails.
- 2:04Speaker 3: He has endorsement and nothing. They'll tell you this yesterday.
- 2:07Speaker 4: I don't know what.
- 2:08Speaker 3: I didn't get to see too much Morning Joe today,
- 2:09Speaker 3: so I don't know what how they're spinning this. But
- 2:11Speaker 3: it was a big night. A lot of people who
- 2:14Speaker 3: needed to be tossed out got tossed out. Cornyn wasn't
- 2:17Speaker 3: the worst, but he needed. Cornyn was no help. Massy
- 2:22Speaker 3: was the worst. Massy a horrible, horrible, horrible guy, anti Semitic.
- 2:29Speaker 3: You know, it's one thing to be anti israel I.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Guess you could do that and not be anti Semitic.
- 2:34Speaker 3: But there's a line that Massy not only crossed, he
- 2:38Speaker 3: just leaped right over it. You know, even in his
- 2:41Speaker 3: concession speech, he couldn't help himself. It was one of
- 2:44Speaker 3: the dirtiest, ugliest concession speeches. He said, you know, I
- 2:49Speaker 3: tried to call my opponent, but I couldn't reach They
- 2:51Speaker 3: couldn't locate him in Jerusalem. Just this anti semitism of
- 2:58Speaker 3: wanting to you know, serious anti semitism talk is you
- 3:04Speaker 3: could be anti Israel, but when you hear the line
- 3:07Speaker 3: you don't cross. When they start telling you Jews run
- 3:09Speaker 3: the bank, Jews control the world, Jews control the banks,
- 3:14Speaker 3: Israel controls the Jews control Hollywood. That's real anti Semitism,
- 3:18Speaker 3: and Massy was guilty of that, as are many Democrats
- 3:21Speaker 3: jellingtts screaming the Israel's controlling the president, the Jews control
- 3:24Speaker 3: the president. First of all, Donald Trump is not controllable
- 3:29Speaker 3: by anybody. But that's real anti Semitic talk when you
- 3:31Speaker 3: hear that, and that's the kind of stuff that came
- 3:33Speaker 3: out of Massy. So he needed to go ugly dirty
- 3:37Speaker 3: sort of guy Cornin. Not so bad, he's gone. Now
- 3:41Speaker 3: these are big, big incumbents, Cassidy and the rest, though
- 3:45Speaker 3: some people I guess if you try to spin it,
- 3:47Speaker 3: if you're a Democrat, you could say, well, this could
- 3:49Speaker 3: be bad because now the Republican's go into mid terms
- 3:52Speaker 3: with lesser candidates, not the big incumbents. But if these
- 3:57Speaker 3: big incumbents couldn't win in their own Republican districts, where
- 4:00Speaker 3: are they going to win? So it's good that they're gone.
- 4:03Speaker 3: Big night for the president. Hey, when it comes to Iran,
- 4:07Speaker 3: well he's said I this is the real deal. But
- 4:11Speaker 3: he's telling everybody that we're about to go. But he
- 4:15Speaker 3: was asked to hold up.
- 4:16Speaker 2: I had made the decision. So they called up. They
- 4:19Speaker 2: had heard I made the decision. They said, sir, could
- 4:21Speaker 2: you give us a couple.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Of more days because we think they're being reasonable. Yeah,
- 4:26Speaker 3: so that's it, they asked. You might say, who's they?
- 4:32Speaker 3: Who knows they? It's they? Okay, they asked, they called up.
- 4:36Speaker 3: They said, sir, so because of they we're gonna hold.
- 4:41Speaker 3: But it's okay, it's good. Listen, the more restraint the better. Apparently,
- 4:46Speaker 3: when we go back, it's going to be full faraddle.
- 4:50Speaker 3: It's going to be vicious. It'll be two to three
- 4:53Speaker 3: weeks of attacks. They've had many, many weeks now to
- 4:57Speaker 3: pick out targets, and nobody is better at this than Israel.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Nobody has better intelligence on the ground than Israel. So
- 5:05Speaker 3: US Israel forces combined unbelievable. It'll be two to three weeks.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Have taken out a lot of stuff. Some of it
- 5:12Speaker 3: will be infrastructure, any infrastructure that could ever be used
- 5:15Speaker 3: for military purposes. Remember they took out that one bridge,
- 5:18Speaker 3: that huge bridge. It was primarily being used for military transfer.
- 5:21Speaker 3: That's where they took that out. So they'll be more
- 5:24Speaker 3: of that. They will just take away everything. Now, Iran
- 5:29Speaker 3: is threatening that if we go back to combat, they
- 5:34Speaker 3: will attack Middle Eastern countries oil facilities, Cutter Dubai, they'll
- 5:39Speaker 3: take out their oil facilities and that course could shock
- 5:43Speaker 3: the oil prices in the oil market. But we have
- 5:47Speaker 3: let Iran know that if they do that, we will
- 5:51Speaker 3: take away carg Island, that's their entire oil facility, all
- 5:55Speaker 3: their oil refinery. Everything is on Carg Island, so they've
- 5:58Speaker 3: been told if they do any of that, we will carefully,
- 6:01Speaker 3: systematically totally dismantle carg Island. It will be gone forever.
- 6:07Speaker 3: So we'll see where that goes. Now, it's possible, just possible,
- 6:13Speaker 3: in all of this combat that could become in this
- 6:16Speaker 3: two to three weeks that we might go in and
- 6:18Speaker 3: take some of the nuclear material. It's mostly nuclear dust.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Israel is pretty good at figuring out where it is.
- 6:25Speaker 3: The way they would get it, it would require ground
- 6:27Speaker 3: forces to go in quickly, but we've already done that twice.
- 6:31Speaker 3: Remember we've gone in twice with ground forces into Iran,
- 6:36Speaker 3: both times when we had to recover the pilots from
- 6:39Speaker 3: that plane that was down both times. And if you
- 6:42Speaker 3: have to get the nuclear material, the way they're going
- 6:44Speaker 3: to do that, they will set up a two mile
- 6:46Speaker 3: perimeter around it. That'll be known as the dead zone.
- 6:50Speaker 3: A two mile perimeter will be set up around it
- 6:53Speaker 3: and they will kill anything instantly that enters that perimeter.
- 6:57Speaker 3: And while that's going on, some spec forces will go
- 7:01Speaker 3: in there and get the nuclear material. They know how
- 7:03Speaker 3: to dig it out. It's nuclear dust. They know how
- 7:05Speaker 3: to remove it. We've done this before. We did this
- 7:08Speaker 3: in Libya years ago when Kadafi gave up his nuclear material.
- 7:11Speaker 3: We've got special teams that know how to go in there,
- 7:14Speaker 3: get it out of the ground, store it properly, and
- 7:16Speaker 3: get it out of there. So that could be a
- 7:19Speaker 3: part of this. So, hey, they had these hearings yesterday.
- 7:23Speaker 3: You got to give the Democrats credit. They're really good
- 7:25Speaker 3: at hearings. It's supposed to be a questioning the witness,
- 7:30Speaker 3: you questions. They just call them names, yell at him,
- 7:33Speaker 3: accuse him of everything. They don't let him talk. If
- 7:35Speaker 3: he tries to answer, they talk right over him. If
- 7:38Speaker 3: he tries to come back at them, they start screaming
- 7:40Speaker 3: for the chairman. So they're really good at Republicans stinke
- 7:43Speaker 3: at hearings. They're too quiet, gentlemanly. So Trump wants to
- 7:48Speaker 3: set up this fund one point eight billion dollars. It'll
- 7:51Speaker 3: be a fund that'll repay the victims of Biden and
- 7:55Speaker 3: Merrick Garland's crazy law fare. And there were many people
- 7:58Speaker 3: who were targeted. You know, Roger Stone's a good example,
- 8:01Speaker 3: did absolutely nothing wrong. They did the most crazy arrest
- 8:06Speaker 3: of him with hundreds of forces on his lawn, guns
- 8:09Speaker 3: Bazooka's tanks literally, and then he did nothing wrong. Of course,
- 8:14Speaker 3: he was going to get acquitted once it got to
- 8:15Speaker 3: a real court, and he threw it all out. But
- 8:17Speaker 3: in the meantime they bankrupted him. They took his life savings,
- 8:20Speaker 3: they took his house, they took all his money, they
- 8:22Speaker 3: took his cars, they took everything and left him penniless.
- 8:26Speaker 3: So that's what this would be for people like that,
- 8:29Speaker 3: people who were targeted by Merrick Garland and Joe Biden.
- 8:33Speaker 3: It would repay their legal expenses, that sort of stuff.
- 8:35Speaker 3: There might be some January sixth people in there, because
- 8:38Speaker 3: many of them did nothing. They weren't even in the building,
- 8:40Speaker 3: and they got thrown in prison for eight years and
- 8:43Speaker 3: bankrupted with legal expenses. So then he had this Van
- 8:47Speaker 3: Holland he's like the new Barney Frank, but worse, yelling
- 8:50Speaker 3: and screaming about it's not just a fun by the way,
- 8:52Speaker 3: this kind of fund. We've done this before many times.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Obama did the same thing. Obama sent up a fund
- 8:59Speaker 3: to repay had been victimized by the government. It's done
- 9:01Speaker 3: all the time. But this is that democratic amnesia. So
- 9:05Speaker 3: they call it a slush fund and listen to this.
- 9:08Speaker 5: Yesterday you created a one point eight billion dollar slush
- 9:11Speaker 5: fund to dole out taxpayer dollars to the president supporters,
- 9:16Speaker 5: including those who attacked this capital on January sixth. That
- 9:20Speaker 5: is pure theft of public funds.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Now, it could be a lot of them are Trump supporters,
- 9:29Speaker 3: but why would that be because they were the ones targeted.
- 9:31Speaker 3: They were the ones Merrick Garland and Joe Biden went after.
- 9:35Speaker 3: They weren't targeting their own. So Todd Blanche and I
- 9:40Speaker 3: had to sit there and go through all this with
- 9:41Speaker 3: each of these senators.
- 9:42Speaker 6: Your announcement said that the fund will send you quarterly reports.
- 9:47Speaker 6: Will you commit to making these reports fully public so
- 9:50Speaker 6: Americans know who's getting taxpayer dollars out of this settlement fund?
- 9:54Speaker 6: This says they'll be confidential. This is Section four, part
- 9:57Speaker 6: E of the settlement Agreement.
- 9:59Speaker 7: The reason I want to be careful of my answers
- 10:01Speaker 7: because there's obviously laws that exist around privacy that.
- 10:04Speaker 3: Would senatcons He's too nice, he kind of gentlemen. Let's
- 10:07Speaker 3: get back to Van Hollen. This guy's are real animals.
- 10:10Speaker 5: So you're not going to you're not going to submit
- 10:12Speaker 5: this proposal to any federal judge, or that there is
- 10:15Speaker 5: no judge, any independent authority that.
- 10:18Speaker 7: Independ What does that mean? An independent authority?
- 10:20Speaker 5: It means not somebody who's getting to pick five of
- 10:22Speaker 5: the members. Who is the president's former personal attorney. That
- 10:26Speaker 5: would be somebody who would be independent.
- 10:27Speaker 7: The acting attorney general. Okay, the fact that I used
- 10:30Speaker 7: to be President Trump's lawyer is just a fact.
- 10:33Speaker 3: But I'm the acting attorney general.
- 10:34Speaker 7: So don't say the president's former personal lawyer will do
- 10:37Speaker 7: something the acting attorney general will do.
- 10:39Speaker 5: Sister Attorney general, you are acting today like the president.
- 10:47Speaker 3: Why I want to go to a federal judge. You
- 10:48Speaker 3: see what these federal judges do. They're all crazy.
- 10:51Speaker 5: Can you commit to making the rules so that that
- 10:54Speaker 5: person is not eligible for a payout under this fund?
- 10:58Speaker 7: Well, you're obviously ying in your question because there's no
- 11:01Speaker 7: way that this person committed to that.
- 11:04Speaker 4: But the slush fund, as you call it, which is
- 11:06Speaker 4: not didn't it?
- 11:07Speaker 2: I'm sure, but I can't commit.
- 11:08Speaker 5: Misterirtorney General, don't ever do that again. I am reporting
- 11:14Speaker 5: what again?
- 11:14Speaker 8: He said?
- 11:15Speaker 5: He said on the expectation they hope to get some
- 11:18Speaker 5: of the funds from a payout.
- 11:20Speaker 4: He's been you.
- 11:21Speaker 7: Said up in the slush fund, Senator, and that didn't
- 11:23Speaker 7: exist when he said that.
- 11:25Speaker 3: Say, this is van Hollity. He's actually threatening the Attorney general.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Don't ever do that again. The hell are you going
- 11:32Speaker 3: to do about this? Because the Attorney General of the
- 11:33Speaker 3: United States. Hey, they were also these hearings for Sean Duffy,
- 11:37Speaker 3: nicest guy in the world, Transportation secretary. So they're all
- 11:40Speaker 3: trying to beat him up. But he did his homework.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Kristin Gillibrand, who was always hiding under the radar somewhere,
- 11:46Speaker 3: but she tried to go after him for a conflict
- 11:49Speaker 3: of interest. But then he finds out she's taken seven
- 11:51Speaker 3: million from that same conflict of it. Uh So, all
- 11:55Speaker 3: these democrats, what are they're accusing you of. Meantime, they
- 11:58Speaker 3: took millions from the same thing. You received seven million
- 12:00Speaker 3: dollars in political country.
- 12:02Speaker 8: From the trail bar.
- 12:02Speaker 3: Honestly, this has nothing to do with members of Congress.
- 12:06Speaker 4: This has to do with the fact that you went
- 12:08Speaker 4: on a paid vacation that was paid by companies.
- 12:12Speaker 5: You oversee seven million dollars you have you have jurisdiction
- 12:18Speaker 5: on the trailbar.
- 12:20Speaker 3: I don't know. If you receive seven million from them,
- 12:22Speaker 3: that's pretty relevant. You're not exactly conflict free there. It's
- 12:27Speaker 3: more a duffy.
- 12:28Speaker 6: If you give a million dollars, you get six VIP
- 12:32Speaker 6: invitations to receptions, you get to go to round tables,
- 12:34Speaker 6: you get to networking events.
- 12:36Speaker 9: Someone from someone from the healthcare industry gives you two
- 12:38Speaker 9: million dollars?
- 12:39Speaker 4: What do they get for it? What do you do?
- 12:42Speaker 2: Not oversee the your jurisdiction.
- 12:45Speaker 3: I do not have jurisdiction million dollars to put your
- 12:49Speaker 3: face on TV to stake dinners.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Mister, secretary, vacations?
- 12:54Speaker 3: What you do?
- 12:54Speaker 9: Mister?
- 12:55Speaker 3: Welcome to MAGA. Welcome to drill?
- 12:58Speaker 8: Secretary?
- 12:58Speaker 4: Are you going to drill?
- 12:59Speaker 10: You?
- 12:59Speaker 4: Do you want to gas prices?
- 13:01Speaker 3: I welcome that, let's drill. Yeah. Duffy pretty good. Remember
- 13:04Speaker 3: he's a former TV host, TV debater, so he's pretty
- 13:07Speaker 3: good at that. But it's a good question. When you're
- 13:10Speaker 3: the senator and the healthcare company gives you two million,
- 13:14Speaker 3: what do they get for it? Well, they get plenty
- 13:16Speaker 3: for it, you know. That's what these Chuck Schumer types do.
- 13:19Speaker 3: They're that's their business. Donor service donors write massive checks,
- 13:25Speaker 3: millions of dollars at checks to their packs, their political packs.
- 13:29Speaker 3: And then what do they get for it. They get
- 13:31Speaker 3: the senator's cell number. They can call any time they want.
- 13:34Speaker 3: They can come down and see them, talk to them
- 13:35Speaker 3: on the phone. They can get whatever they need. I
- 13:38Speaker 3: need a regulation changed, I need something in this department
- 13:41Speaker 3: of the government. Can you call them up? And that's
- 13:43Speaker 3: what they do all day. No, no, not every senator
- 13:46Speaker 3: is a bad Schumer is famous for donor service. That's
- 13:49Speaker 3: why big Republican donors give to Schumer all the time.
- 13:52Speaker 3: And if you say why do you keep giving to Schumer,
- 13:54Speaker 3: they'll actually tell you I can wake him up at
- 13:57Speaker 3: three in the morning. They'll do anything I need. That's
- 13:59Speaker 3: the way it and that's what that's what lobbyists do.
- 14:04Speaker 3: You know, lobbyist has a million of these donors. So
- 14:07Speaker 3: if the lobbyist comes to the center, I need this bill,
- 14:10Speaker 3: I need this lawch and okay and it's done. Now
- 14:14Speaker 3: what does the lobbyist do for them? The senator will
- 14:16Speaker 3: call the lobbyist, Hey, for my election, I need five
- 14:18Speaker 3: million by tuesday, okay, and he'll call ten donors and
- 14:22Speaker 3: have him give five hundred thousand each. You'll get you
- 14:25Speaker 3: the five millions. Just like that big night for the Knicks.
- 14:28Speaker 3: They not only won, but they were way behind, a
- 14:31Speaker 3: big rally of big comeback. It was a great in
- 14:35Speaker 3: that fourth quarter.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Groege gets past Hard and.
- 14:38Speaker 10: Gets inside the floaters, up and good Thailand Brunson once again.
- 14:43Speaker 4: Then it's a four point Nicklease.
- 14:45Speaker 3: Well it was a good night for them. They well
- 14:47Speaker 3: they call it the miracle on the thirty third Street. Uh,
- 14:50Speaker 3: pretty good. The Knicks, Uh, not winning anything for years,
- 14:53Speaker 3: suddenly unbelievable. Hey, we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred
- 14:57Speaker 3: three to two one zero seven ten the number.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Here's more of the Mark Simon Show on wo R.
- 15:07Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, let's there can calls. Eight hundred three to
- 15:10Speaker 3: two one zero seven ten is the number. Let's go
- 15:12Speaker 3: to Robert and Westchester. Robert, how you doing, good morning, Mark? Fine,
- 15:17Speaker 3: thank you Mark.
- 15:18Speaker 9: I'm very happy for the president last night, with all
- 15:21Speaker 9: the success his endorsement successes. That one fella Massy, Yeah,
- 15:26Speaker 9: what a troll. He is what he said. I was
- 15:29Speaker 9: looking for my opponent, but I couldn't find him in
- 15:31Speaker 9: Tel Aviv. You can't even lose graciously. I mean, this
- 15:35Speaker 9: is why nobody voted for them, and who wants another
- 15:39Speaker 9: four years of a Biden administration. Every day is almost
- 15:43Speaker 9: like a pleasure to wake up to the things that happened.
- 15:46Speaker 9: I mean, granted the thing with Iran, but that that's
- 15:48Speaker 9: been a forty seven year Albatroz.
- 15:51Speaker 3: Yeah, No, definitely, and it'll be solid pretty soon. Yeah, Massy,
- 15:53Speaker 3: we'll get back to Massie a little later. Really bad guy,
- 15:56Speaker 3: really bad Anti Semi. Let's go to Joe and wood Park. Joe,
- 16:00Speaker 3: how you doing good?
- 16:02Speaker 10: Only Marca Ononia Vincent?
- 16:03Speaker 11: You forgot that Cash Ptel cleaned Van Holland's clock.
- 16:07Speaker 12: Yeah, the other day with the with the drinking.
- 16:10Speaker 10: Yeah, kudos to Duffy, very good job.
- 16:12Speaker 3: Yeah, Duffy, you know TV guy, TV host, pretty good talker.
- 16:18Speaker 3: I like Cash Hotel's good FBI director, but he doesn't
- 16:20Speaker 3: look the part.
- 16:21Speaker 13: You know.
- 16:21Speaker 3: Trump always actually say from Central Casting, if you're casting
- 16:25Speaker 3: the IT guy, you might cast cast Cash doesn't look
- 16:29Speaker 3: like the FBI director. But let's go to Rich and
- 16:32Speaker 3: Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you doing?
- 16:34Speaker 11: Hey?
- 16:34Speaker 14: Thanks?
- 16:35Speaker 11: Marko Suthing. You and I have spoken about over the years,
- 16:37Speaker 11: especially in election years, and I did on my program
- 16:39Speaker 11: for twenty five years, was to drain the swamp. You
- 16:42Speaker 11: can only do it in the primaries. You can only
- 16:45Speaker 11: get rid of the swamp or a forty year old,
- 16:48Speaker 11: a forty year term guy in the primaries. And that's
- 16:51Speaker 11: how and Trump got himself a whole bunch of new
- 16:53Speaker 11: fighters in his cabinet that stand up to all these
- 16:55Speaker 11: questions and stuff. But that's how you drain the swamp.
- 16:58Speaker 11: You have to do it the primary. Only wait and
- 17:00Speaker 11: get rid of him.
- 17:01Speaker 3: Very good point, excellent point. That's that's where you do it.
- 17:04Speaker 3: And we'll get back to MASSI was the most expensive
- 17:07Speaker 3: primary race in history. We'll go over the details. Let's
- 17:10Speaker 3: go to Mike and Hawthorne. Mike, how you're doing good?
- 17:13Speaker 10: Mark, Listen. Wasn't Van Holland the same guy who had
- 17:16Speaker 10: drinks with.
- 17:16Speaker 3: The Oh yeah, yeah, he's the guy that flew down
- 17:20Speaker 3: to wherever the hell it was was a Columbia and
- 17:22Speaker 3: he wanted to get Yeah, he's the guy that flew
- 17:25Speaker 3: down there. Remember the Maryland dad, Uh, the illegal uh
- 17:31Speaker 3: you know, human trafficker they down there. Yeah, there was
- 17:34Speaker 3: Van Holland went down there and was seen having drinks
- 17:36Speaker 3: by the pool with this illegal guy. Let's go to uh, Mike,
- 17:41Speaker 3: in Florida. Mike, how you doing, Good.
- 17:43Speaker 4: Morning, Mark, that's Mike.
- 17:45Speaker 15: As you've been illustrating, the Democrats are very good. And
- 17:49Speaker 15: this is something that the Republicans don't understand, that the
- 17:51Speaker 15: process is the punishment.
- 17:54Speaker 4: You know.
- 17:54Speaker 15: The Republicans think that they have to cross every T
- 17:57Speaker 15: and dot every I and put somebody in Jailmocrats understand
- 18:01Speaker 15: if you can get a guy out in public and
- 18:03Speaker 15: just go crap on him for three hours and watch
- 18:06Speaker 15: them answer questions that are in name, like, all of
- 18:09Speaker 15: a sudden, Van Hollins worried.
- 18:10Speaker 16: About taxpayer's money. They're paying off Somali's you know, billions,
- 18:14Speaker 16: you know, you know dollars every day that are corrupt,
- 18:19Speaker 16: you know, learning centers. And they get it because you
- 18:23Speaker 16: said the Democrats get it. The Republicans just don't understand
- 18:26Speaker 16: how to play the game.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Well I don't. They don't play. The Democrats are great
- 18:29Speaker 3: at hearings. They get a witness, they just start punching them,
- 18:32Speaker 3: kicking them, slapping them, spinning all over. It's great for TV.
- 18:35Speaker 3: Republicans they're terrible at hearings. Nothing ever, had nothing viral
- 18:39Speaker 3: from any Republican hearing. But I don't know do you
- 18:41Speaker 3: want to play that game? Do you want to behave
- 18:43Speaker 3: like them?
- 18:44Speaker 11: I don't know.
- 18:45Speaker 15: It seems very effective sometimes with foot of Democrats. You know,
- 18:48Speaker 15: they get a million sound bites out of it. And
- 18:50Speaker 15: these guys and there's you know, there's Porsche and Duffy
- 18:52Speaker 15: as good as he is, you know, he's he's getting
- 18:55Speaker 15: like the you know, the crap.
- 18:57Speaker 16: Knocked out of him by some lightweight, you know, cursed
- 18:59Speaker 16: and Jilibrand.
- 19:01Speaker 3: Yeah, you also have to remember Jeffrey. You remember if Republicans,
- 19:07Speaker 3: if Republicans tried that game, they wouldn't get the coverage.
- 19:09Speaker 3: You remember, the media is waiting to cooperate and partner
- 19:12Speaker 3: with the Democrats and run the clips. All right, thanks
- 19:15Speaker 3: for calling, michae Let's go to Gary and Hyde Park. Gary.
- 19:18Speaker 4: How you doing, Good.
- 19:19Speaker 14: Morning, Mark.
- 19:20Speaker 10: Remember a few years ago when Senator Jillibrand admitted to
- 19:23Speaker 10: sleeping with a rifle under her bed.
- 19:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if she did.
- 19:28Speaker 13: I think she was trying to rumor has it now
- 19:29Speaker 13: she sleeps with a cash register under her bed.
- 19:32Speaker 3: Oh there you go, very good. Okay, thanks for calling. Yeah,
- 19:36Speaker 3: could be you know that whole rifle stuff, and she
- 19:40Speaker 3: was a big gun I think that was too. That
- 19:42Speaker 3: was the way the wind was blowing then, and that's
- 19:44Speaker 3: why she said that stuff. She's a very Shumer a Jilibrand.
- 19:50Speaker 3: That's kind of a partnership there. They both cooperate. Schumer
- 19:54Speaker 3: is just a cash machine, just donor service around the clock.
- 19:58Speaker 3: Jilibrand is good a pretty good at that too. And
- 20:01Speaker 3: you'll notice she stays very quiet. She hides under the radar.
- 20:05Speaker 3: You'll never see here because you can get a lot
- 20:07Speaker 3: more done that way. Let's go to Joe and Nutley.
- 20:11Speaker 12: Joe, how you doing, Yeah, Mark, Hew are you? I
- 20:15Speaker 12: just want to give a quick example of how the
- 20:17Speaker 12: fake news could really fool people, even intelligent people. My uh,
- 20:23Speaker 12: I went thouting with my brother in law.
- 20:25Speaker 3: Hey wait, wait, where's the quick part?
- 20:27Speaker 4: You said?
- 20:27Speaker 3: Quick?
- 20:28Speaker 12: Oh, okay, I'll be quick. Anyway, my brother was telling
- 20:33Speaker 12: me the new Donald Trump golf golf course, the new
- 20:36Speaker 12: airport in Florida, that the Trump family is getting royalties
- 20:42Speaker 12: from this. This is I'm like, no, that's impossible, So
- 20:45Speaker 12: I quick google eyedd No, No, they don't.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Get any royalties from the airport.
- 20:49Speaker 12: I know you know what the google a I said
- 20:52Speaker 12: that he doesn't get royalties direct from the airport.
- 20:55Speaker 3: He doesn't get anything from the airport. Nobody gets royalties
- 20:58Speaker 3: from any airport.
- 20:59Speaker 14: Why.
- 20:59Speaker 3: Yeah, But this is why I keep telling you. You
- 21:03Speaker 3: got liberal, crazy Trump hating friends. Don't argue, don't engage,
- 21:08Speaker 3: don't talk to them. There's nothing you can tell them.
- 21:10Speaker 3: Nothing you can show misleading news stories, I understand. Don't
- 21:15Speaker 3: talk to them. Change the subject. There's nothing you can do.
- 21:18Speaker 3: It's a cult, it's brainwashing. There's nothing you can do.
- 21:22Speaker 11: Yep, I hear you.
- 21:23Speaker 12: It's just amazing.
- 21:25Speaker 3: No, there's nothing you can do. Don't argue with them,
- 21:27Speaker 3: Just agree if you have to. Yeah, you're right, terrible anyway,
- 21:29Speaker 3: and then change the subject. Nothing you can tell them.
- 21:32Speaker 3: You could give them all the documents, all the proof,
- 21:35Speaker 3: you could go into a court of law, and they
- 21:36Speaker 3: don't care. They'll go right back to whatever they were saying.
- 21:39Speaker 3: And that's the kind of stuff you see an end viewer,
- 21:41Speaker 3: a Morning Joe viewer, New York Times reader. You get
- 21:44Speaker 3: all that misleading crap about getting a royalty for the airport. Hey,
- 21:48Speaker 3: in two months, the Palm Beach Airport becomes Donald J.
- 21:52Speaker 3: Trump International Airport. Airport symbol will be DJT and It'll
- 22:00Speaker 3: be pretty amazing watching these liberals because many of them
- 22:04Speaker 3: go to Palm Beach having to look at that name
- 22:07Speaker 3: all over the terminal, and then when they leave to
- 22:10Speaker 3: drive into Palm Beach, that street is now Donald J.
- 22:12Speaker 3: Trump Boulevard. It's gonna make them crazy. So it was
- 22:16Speaker 3: worth it just for that, just to ruin their trip. Anyway. Hey,
- 22:20Speaker 3: when we come back, Howie Carr, the great talk show host,
- 22:24Speaker 3: one of the most interesting guys. We'll talk to him
- 22:26Speaker 3: next on seven to ten WR No.

- 22:54Speaker 4: Pretty good? Mark? Pretty good? When do you think the
- 22:57Speaker 4: bombing is going to resume?
- 23:00Speaker 3: I'd say Saturday Friday?
- 23:04Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't you think it's gonna be pretty maybe
- 23:06Speaker 4: like after the stock market closes for for three days?
- 23:09Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, Okay, yeah, you're right. Friday,
- 23:13Speaker 3: Friday night, Friday night.
- 23:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it seems like there seems like people
- 23:18Speaker 4: are you know, starting to you know, get a little concerned.
- 23:21Speaker 11: You know.
- 23:21Speaker 4: I sell this editorial in the New York Post, and
- 23:24Speaker 4: Jack Keen, who's one of the retired general is one
- 23:27Speaker 4: of his big supporters on Fox, was saying, well, we're
- 23:29Speaker 4: six weeks into the two week cease fire, et cetera,
- 23:32Speaker 4: et cetera. Seems like you know he's got to do something,
- 23:36Speaker 4: doesn't he? Oh?
- 23:37Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah, No, Jack Keane has all kinds of targets
- 23:39Speaker 3: he want, apparently Israel and everybody. They've come up with
- 23:43Speaker 3: about two to three weeks of stuff to hit, so
- 23:45Speaker 3: it'll be pretty good. But you think two months from
- 23:49Speaker 3: now everything will be fine. Ran will be solved, right
- 23:52Speaker 3: I hope?
- 23:53Speaker 14: So?
- 23:53Speaker 4: I well, you know what I think. Don't you think
- 23:56Speaker 4: that he wants it solved by the two hundred and
- 23:59Speaker 4: fiftieth Anniverse Reek of Big Founding, the Birthday of America?
- 24:03Speaker 4: I mean, it's got it's got to be wrapped up
- 24:05Speaker 4: by that.
- 24:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure it will be the Victor Brief. Uh,
- 24:09Speaker 3: don't Democrats ever learn?
- 24:10Speaker 14: You know?
- 24:10Speaker 3: When Trump looks like he's in the middle of trouble
- 24:13Speaker 3: and they're yelling and screaming that tech. In the end,
- 24:15Speaker 3: he always ends up being right. He always ends up
- 24:17Speaker 3: solving the problem, doesn't he Yeah, he.
- 24:20Speaker 4: Does, he does. And the and the Democrats just look
- 24:22Speaker 4: crazier and crazier. How about this woman in Texas that
- 24:25Speaker 4: wants to put the Zionists in concentration camps? Wow? Talk
- 24:31Speaker 4: about the you know, the the mask falling. Why just
- 24:37Speaker 4: put on a hood, you know, white white pillow case
- 24:41Speaker 4: and you know, just come out to go go like
- 24:43Speaker 4: the old days. Burn across down there at Texas where
- 24:46Speaker 4: she's running for office. Good lord, they really are out
- 24:50Speaker 4: of their minds. It's just unbully, It's just horrible. I
- 24:54Speaker 4: had that guy Jonathan Albert on uh you know, the
- 24:57Speaker 4: guy who you know, was talking about Trump derangements and
- 25:00Speaker 4: Drum the psychotherapist on my show yesterday. It is these
- 25:03Speaker 4: women outside of Luigi's trial. I mean, this is like
- 25:07Speaker 4: a mutation of Trump derangement syndrome. Right, It's like some
- 25:11Speaker 4: kind of crazy crazy. I mean, it's not a cancer,
- 25:13Speaker 4: it's a mental disease. It just keeps mutating. It the
- 25:17Speaker 4: more and more awful variations.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Hey, a big night last night for President Trump, all
- 25:24Speaker 3: the people he endorsed, he was thirty seven and oh,
- 25:26Speaker 3: thirty seven victories. Pretty impressive, isn't it.
- 25:29Speaker 4: Yeah? It is, you know. I mean and again I
- 25:32Speaker 4: mean Massy going crazy saying he couldn't reach his opponent
- 25:35Speaker 4: because he's in Tel Aviv. I mean, it's just he
- 25:38Speaker 4: Trump brings out the worst in all of these people.
- 25:41Speaker 4: And you know, fifty five forty five, that's like, that's
- 25:44Speaker 4: like borderline landslide, you know, especially since he's been in
- 25:48Speaker 4: the House for what seven terms. And you know, another
- 25:51Speaker 4: one I think that people haven't paid enough attention to
- 25:54Speaker 4: is Brad Raffitsberger in Georgia. Yeah, I mean finishing third.
- 25:59Speaker 4: I mean he, you know, that guy that was part
- 26:02Speaker 4: of the whole thing, you know, uh, the whole lie
- 26:06Speaker 4: about find the votes. And you know, his his top
- 26:09Speaker 4: aid was the one who who put all that bs
- 26:12Speaker 4: together and also violated the law by you know, recording
- 26:15Speaker 4: the recording the phone call in a two party stay
- 26:18Speaker 4: and you know, and he and you know, people just
- 26:21Speaker 4: you know, they haven't noticed that he that he went
- 26:24Speaker 4: down in flames finishing third like Cassidy did in Louisiana.
- 26:29Speaker 4: Now about Cassi.
- 26:29Speaker 8: What a what a?
- 26:31Speaker 4: What a paragon of virtue?
- 26:34Speaker 2: He is?
- 26:34Speaker 4: He now he now wants to invoke the War Powers Act.
- 26:37Speaker 4: He loses the primary and totally flips Well, well, senator,
- 26:41Speaker 4: as long as it's nothing personal.
- 26:46Speaker 3: Hey, we got the word today. Barney Frank died at
- 26:49Speaker 3: age of eighty six. You know, you go back at
- 26:51Speaker 3: twenty years Barney Frank was the angry, screaming left wing. Today,
- 26:55Speaker 3: he'd be like a moderate in that party, wouldn't he.
- 26:58Speaker 4: Yeah, well he, I mean he said he said it
- 27:00Speaker 4: at the at the very end, you know that he
- 27:02Speaker 4: that that, you know, that this was not the way
- 27:05Speaker 4: to go, and that they weren't going to win any
- 27:07Speaker 4: elections this way. And yeah, you're right, I mean he was.
- 27:12Speaker 4: He was really an odd character. I mean, you know,
- 27:16Speaker 4: for for as nutty as he was he was, he
- 27:19Speaker 4: was really a a witty guy in his own way.
- 27:23Speaker 4: And I knew him at the you know, at city
- 27:25Speaker 4: Hall in the state House.
- 27:26Speaker 11: Uh.
- 27:27Speaker 4: And you know, he had he had many, many great lines.
- 27:30Speaker 4: He had. One of his lives was, uh, the the
- 27:34Speaker 4: he said that they're two bad things can happen to
- 27:37Speaker 4: you if you run for Boston City Council Number one
- 27:40Speaker 4: you could lose number two, you could win. And he
- 27:44Speaker 4: also and he also said he learned something from the
- 27:46Speaker 4: hot Bottom scandal. He said, he said, your core constituency
- 27:50Speaker 4: is not the people who are with you when you're right.
- 27:54Speaker 4: Your core constituency of the people who are with you
- 27:56Speaker 4: when you're wrong. And that's it's so true. You know,
- 28:02Speaker 4: he was. I don't know he you know, he he
- 28:06Speaker 4: he used to He used to yell at me. He
- 28:08Speaker 4: yelled at everybody who disagreed with him. But you know,
- 28:11Speaker 4: he compared to the other guy, the other gay guy
- 28:13Speaker 4: in the Massachusetts delegation, Gary Studds, the one who was
- 28:17Speaker 4: raping underage boys on the junkets too uh junkets to Spain.
- 28:22Speaker 11: You know, he was.
- 28:22Speaker 4: He was one of nature's noblemen. I guess I would say.
- 28:26Speaker 3: Well, hey, Howie Carr, you're a Palm Beach guy. They're
- 28:29Speaker 3: going to rename the airport in July. It becomes Donald J.
- 28:32Speaker 3: Trump International Airport. Isn't that great for liberals that have
- 28:35Speaker 3: to fly there? Won't that be torture for them?
- 28:38Speaker 4: They get used to it, though, they got they got used.
- 28:41Speaker 4: They've got used to Reagan International, right, this is but yeah,
- 28:44Speaker 4: you're right, this is this is worse for them. Yeah,
- 28:47Speaker 4: I guess they well they you know, the the Fort
- 28:50Speaker 4: Lauderdale Airport is already kind of overcrowded, but maybe some
- 28:53Speaker 4: of them will start flying down there anyway.
- 28:58Speaker 3: To Trump, Yeah, Trump Airport. You gotta go down Donald J.
- 29:02Speaker 3: Trump Boulevard to get to the island, right.
- 29:04Speaker 4: That's right. Southern Yeah, Southern Boulevard is being everyone's still okay.
- 29:08Speaker 4: It's one of those things there, you know, everybody, you know,
- 29:10Speaker 4: for twenty years, everyone will still call it Southern Boulevard
- 29:13Speaker 4: and it will kind of fade away and it will
- 29:15Speaker 4: become Trump Boulevard, I guess, you know, but you see,
- 29:19Speaker 4: you know, it's uh, it's it's really great that they're
- 29:22Speaker 4: that they're doing doing these things for him too, because
- 29:25Speaker 4: it should be named after him, you know, I mean
- 29:27Speaker 4: he and again I think I've told you this before,
- 29:30Speaker 4: but you know, mar A Lago, if he hadn't have
- 29:33Speaker 4: bought the place from the town, because the town owned
- 29:35Speaker 4: that she Marjorie Merriweather Post had given it to the town.
- 29:39Speaker 4: If he hadn't bought it, it would now be condos,
- 29:41Speaker 4: you know, just another another you know, three hundred condos,
- 29:45Speaker 4: you know, high rise overlooking the lake Lake warwod I
- 29:49Speaker 4: mean he he, he really did the town a great
- 29:53Speaker 4: historical service. You know, He's right up there with Flagler,
- 29:57Speaker 4: you know in terms of you know, making the town better.
- 30:00Speaker 4: I think in terms of development, but no one will
- 30:02Speaker 4: ever admit it.
- 30:03Speaker 3: Yeah, if you go down to Florida, everything is named
- 30:05Speaker 3: Flagler or Meisner whoever these two guys were.
- 30:08Speaker 4: Meiser was the architect, right, yeah, and Flagler was the guy.
- 30:12Speaker 4: Flagler was Rockefeller's partner who you know, first realized what
- 30:16Speaker 4: a great place it was and built the Florida East
- 30:18Speaker 4: Coast railroad Way that was, you know, brought everything down,
- 30:22Speaker 4: including all the rich people in their private private cars
- 30:26Speaker 4: from New York.
- 30:27Speaker 3: Hey, Ali car. If there were no term limits, Donald
- 30:31Speaker 3: Trump could win in twenty twenty eight, couldn't he?
- 30:35Speaker 4: Yeah? I did. That was my poll question a couple
- 30:37Speaker 4: of days ago, Mark I did.
- 30:39Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 30:40Speaker 4: I asked the question and I said, would you vote
- 30:42Speaker 4: for for Trump for a fourth for the fourth time?
- 30:45Speaker 4: And I eighty five percent of my listeners said yeah,
- 30:48Speaker 4: they would I think they. I think I think it
- 30:50Speaker 4: win again, wouldn't he? Yeah?
- 30:52Speaker 3: And why I still don't understand why we have term
- 30:54Speaker 3: limits for Congress and not for for the president, but
- 30:57Speaker 3: not for Congress. What sense does that make?
- 31:00Speaker 4: I think people I think people got a in the
- 31:02Speaker 4: in the forties, people just said said, you know, Roosevelt
- 31:05Speaker 4: shouldn't have shouldn't have run all those times, especially the
- 31:08Speaker 4: last term when he was obviously dying, and that you know,
- 31:11Speaker 4: the war was going on, so you know, don't change
- 31:14Speaker 4: horses in the middle of a stream. You know that
- 31:16Speaker 4: all that's saying from forty four and they just want
- 31:18Speaker 4: to make sure it never happened again. And it's it's
- 31:21Speaker 4: one of those things that's it's probably not it probably
- 31:23Speaker 4: wasn't needed. It's you know, it's it's like that.
- 31:26Speaker 14: You know.
- 31:26Speaker 4: You know what the most worthless amendment, though, of all
- 31:28Speaker 4: time is is the twenty fifth Amendment. Did anyone ever
- 31:32Speaker 4: seriously think that that the members of the cabinet were
- 31:35Speaker 4: going to vote to remove their boss? I mean, ah,
- 31:39Speaker 4: that just goes against everything in human nature, doesn't it.
- 31:42Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 31:42Speaker 3: And actually Biden was the ultimate test of that. If
- 31:46Speaker 3: it didn't kick in with him, it's never going to kick.
- 31:48Speaker 4: In, right, And they never and they and all and
- 31:51Speaker 4: now all these guys that were in the cabinet say,
- 31:53Speaker 4: I never saw the guy. I never saw, you know,
- 31:56Speaker 4: because because they couldn't put they couldn't put him out there. Yeah,
- 32:00Speaker 4: not even to the people he worked for. Yeah, So
- 32:04Speaker 4: it's the I mean, it's just it's worthless sometimes. You
- 32:06Speaker 4: Sometimes they put in these amendments that aren't really necessary.
- 32:10Speaker 4: Some people just think that we never should have had
- 32:11Speaker 4: an amendment to allow the senator to be elected by
- 32:14Speaker 4: the by the by the vote of the people, that
- 32:16Speaker 4: they should have continued to be elected by the legislature.
- 32:20Speaker 3: Have you seen our legislature. I don't think so.
- 32:24Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, say, yeah, New York and Massachusetts have
- 32:27Speaker 4: the same problem with the legislature. It wouldn't it wouldn't
- 32:29Speaker 4: mean much. It's like the election of judges, you know.
- 32:32Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's a nice concept theoretically to elect judges,
- 32:35Speaker 4: but it really doesn't work out all that well, does it.
- 32:39Speaker 3: No, Hey, Caroline Levitt, you're a protege there. She's on
- 32:43Speaker 3: maternity leave. So one day Rubio filled and he was
- 32:46Speaker 3: dazzling at that press briefing. Yesterday, Vance Fielding wasn't quite
- 32:50Speaker 3: as dazzling as Rubio was.
- 32:52Speaker 4: He No, And you know, I was, you know, sometimes
- 32:56Speaker 4: I watch it on TV, and then I listened again
- 32:58Speaker 4: when I replay the cuts up my show, and he
- 33:01Speaker 4: really wasn't all that enthusiastic about Trump's plan for Iran.
- 33:06Speaker 4: You know, you could kind of tell he he was.
- 33:08Speaker 4: He was going through the motions and he was, but
- 33:12Speaker 4: he didn't he didn't really deliver. I know, I thought
- 33:15Speaker 4: Rubio was better. I think Rubio is really picking up steam.
- 33:18Speaker 4: And uh, you know, I guess he's still I guess
- 33:20Speaker 4: he said last week again that he would still abow
- 33:23Speaker 4: to advance. But you know what, no one's holding him to.
- 33:26Speaker 4: No one's holding him to a statement like that. You know,
- 33:30Speaker 4: he's he wasn't under oath when when he said it either.
- 33:33Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a couple of years away. And you're right,
- 33:35Speaker 3: that was a turning point, that briefing. But well, great stuff.
- 33:38Speaker 3: Everybody should get how He Car's latest book, Mass Corruption.

- 34:58Speaker 3: Looking at the weather, it could be a big thunderstorm
- 35:00Speaker 3: late today, late today, this evening big thunderstorm could be
- 35:05Speaker 3: fifty one percent chance, but keep an eye on that
- 35:07Speaker 3: and then tomorrow rain in the morning, just regular old
- 35:10Speaker 3: rain should end by noon. Then Friday looks like a
- 35:14Speaker 3: partly sunny day. Friday is the good day of the weekend,
- 35:16Speaker 3: believe or not. And then it looks like Saturday. Sunday
- 35:20Speaker 3: rain ninety four percent chance on Saturday, so it looks
- 35:24Speaker 3: like a rainy Saturday. Sunday Monday looks like no rain
- 35:28Speaker 3: but cloudy all day. So this is not the first
- 35:30Speaker 3: time you go back. The last few Memorial Day weekends,
- 35:32Speaker 3: it's been bad weather for all of them. Unfortunately it's
- 35:35Speaker 3: becoming a tradition. But it's Memorial Day weekend coming up,
- 35:39Speaker 3: and then that's really when the summer begins. Hey, we
- 35:43Speaker 3: got a lot to get to in the next hour. Hey,
- 35:46Speaker 3: we'll get to the sad ending of Stephen Colbert, although
- 35:50Speaker 3: we're happy about it, but we'll get to what went
- 35:53Speaker 3: wrong there and what's coming up for him and more. Normally,
- 35:57Speaker 3: I'm here every day ten to noon, or you can
- 35:59Speaker 3: get the podcast and listen to anytime back after the
- 36:02Speaker 3: news seven to ten.
- 36:03Speaker 2: Wor oh, mister New York Marximonee wor.
- 36:11Speaker 3: Well, we got a lot to get to this hour,
- 36:14Speaker 3: So I go down to the kitchen to get a
- 36:16Speaker 3: cup of coffee. There's a woman there. He had an
- 36:19Speaker 3: entourage like forty people, and there's like another one hundred
- 36:23Speaker 3: people gathered around her talking to her. And you know,
- 36:26Speaker 3: nobody knows who anybody is anymore. So I had to
- 36:29Speaker 3: say to somebody, who is that? And he said Olivia Rodrigue.
- 36:33Speaker 3: Oh okay, I mean I know who that is, but
- 36:37Speaker 3: I didn't recognize her. But if I walked down there
- 36:39Speaker 3: with Jay Leno, They're all going to be saying who
- 36:42Speaker 3: is that? Nobody knows who anybody is anymore. There's no
- 36:47Speaker 3: more mass media anything anymore. So Representative Thomas Massey, horrible guy,
- 36:55Speaker 3: awful guy, anti semitic, like crazy, even in his concession
- 37:01Speaker 3: speech goes totally anti semitic. I see forty people walking by?
- 37:06Speaker 3: Is that her again?
- 37:08Speaker 4: It is? Now?
- 37:10Speaker 3: Watch, Oh she's going that way. She just walked by
- 37:13Speaker 3: the window. How many people? There's like forty five people
- 37:16Speaker 3: walking with her. It's hysterical. They get to the door,
- 37:19Speaker 3: one opens it and it takes like twenty minutes when
- 37:21Speaker 3: they get through the door. Anyway, where was it?
- 37:23Speaker 4: Oh?
- 37:23Speaker 3: Thomas Massey, horrible horrible guy, gets anti semitic in his
- 37:27Speaker 3: concession speech when everybody's looking at him, so they wiped
- 37:33Speaker 3: him out. Trump finally stood up to him, wiped him out.
- 37:36Speaker 3: It will go down as the most expensive primary race
- 37:40Speaker 3: in US history. This is not a congressional race. This
- 37:44Speaker 3: is just the primary. Thirty two million was spent on
- 37:49Speaker 3: political ads. Thirty two million, most expensive primary and history.
- 37:53Speaker 3: Massy was so crazy, trumped arrangement syndrome. He's the guy
- 37:57Speaker 3: the way back when started push like crazy, like crazy
- 38:03Speaker 3: for the Epstein files. Now, some of these people actually
- 38:09Speaker 3: convinced themselves. Could you could without the files, you could
- 38:12Speaker 3: still know the real story. Some of them convinced themselves
- 38:15Speaker 3: that Trump and Epstein were close friends, which they never were.
- 38:19Speaker 3: When Epstein first made a ton of money and bought
- 38:21Speaker 3: a big place in Palm Beach, he was a new
- 38:23Speaker 3: guy in town with millions of bucks, and he joined
- 38:26Speaker 3: mar A Lago and President Trump. Like any club owner,
- 38:31Speaker 3: and back then he was not a politician. He was
- 38:33Speaker 3: just a civilian. But any owner of a big club
- 38:36Speaker 3: or big owner would always whenever a big new very
- 38:40Speaker 3: wealthy members joins and starts spending a lot of money,
- 38:43Speaker 3: you go spend some time with him, You go greet him,
- 38:45Speaker 3: you say hello to him, and Trump's always done it that.
- 38:47Speaker 3: I remember years ago he owned the Plaza hotel, got
- 38:50Speaker 3: a kick out of him. When there were parties, he'd
- 38:53Speaker 3: hang out with Epstein at the you know, on that
- 38:54Speaker 3: end of the party over there. But that was it.
- 38:58Speaker 3: At some point it went bad because they found out Epstein. First,
- 39:01Speaker 3: we was hiring people away from mar A Lago some
- 39:04Speaker 3: of the messuses. That was bad enough. Trump gave him
- 39:07Speaker 3: a warning. Then the next thing that happened was Epstein
- 39:10Speaker 3: hit on this young girl who worked in the locker room,
- 39:13Speaker 3: you know, like whatever. She was, fifteen, sixteen year old girl.
- 39:16Speaker 3: Turned out she was the daughter of a member. That's
- 39:18Speaker 3: how she got the job. Trump heard about this, threw
- 39:21Speaker 3: Epstein out of mar A Lago, banned him from the club,
- 39:24Speaker 3: banned him from every Trump property. This is a million
- 39:26Speaker 3: years ago, and then never spoke to him again. So
- 39:29Speaker 3: that was the end of it. And if you read
- 39:31Speaker 3: the Epstein files after that, nobody hated Trump more than Epstein.
- 39:36Speaker 3: If you read the files, and there's millions of pages,
- 39:38Speaker 3: you can read this. He's just plotting against Trump, raging
- 39:41Speaker 3: with hatred against Trump for years, and whenever he did,
- 39:45Speaker 3: he got very close to that sleeze ball, tabloid idiot
- 39:48Speaker 3: Michael Wolfe, that Trump hating writer. He and Michael wolf
- 39:53Speaker 3: You read their email exchanges. It's all about how they
- 39:55Speaker 3: can destroy Trump, plots to destroy Trump. So that was
- 39:59Speaker 3: Epstein Trump. He was one of his biggest enemies. But
- 40:02Speaker 3: guys like Massy convinced themselves that once this Epstein file
- 40:07Speaker 3: comes out, that's it for Trump. You remember you go
- 40:09Speaker 3: back a few months ago before the files came out,
- 40:13Speaker 3: do you remember, people actually had themselves convinced Trump was
- 40:16Speaker 3: on Epstein island, Trump was a pedophile Trump. They had
- 40:19Speaker 3: all these fantasies that were all crazy. Again, once the
- 40:23Speaker 3: files came out, you read it. Not only were they
- 40:26Speaker 3: not friends, but Epstein and Trump were bitter enemies.
- 40:29Speaker 4: So that's what it was.
- 40:31Speaker 3: Hey, if you watched a Saturday Night Live last Saturday Night,
- 40:34Speaker 3: the opening sketch was about something and then all of
- 40:37Speaker 3: a sudden, Epstein appears and it's a dream or something,
- 40:40Speaker 3: and Trump says, who are you? I'm your closest friend.
- 40:42Speaker 3: They even Saturday and Live pushing this ridiculous lie that
- 40:47Speaker 3: they were close friends. So that's one of the things
- 40:50Speaker 3: that did Massy and he pushed so hard for that
- 40:52Speaker 3: stupid Epstein file that came, and all it did was
- 40:54Speaker 3: once over all exonerate Trump from all of that. Hey,
- 40:59Speaker 3: what's today Wednesday?
- 41:01Speaker 13: Right?
- 41:01Speaker 3: So Tomorrow night is the final Colbert Show. We will
- 41:05Speaker 3: be rid of this awful guy Colbert. Tomorrow Night the
- 41:10Speaker 3: final show. They're keeping it secret. They don't want you
- 41:13Speaker 3: to know who the guests are. Billy Joel, Paul McCartney.
- 41:18Speaker 3: That's two of them. But Tomorrow Night are then having
- 41:21Speaker 3: some kind of big party afterwards. Wrap party should be
- 41:23Speaker 3: more like a funeral party. But the left, of course
- 41:30Speaker 3: thinks this is a terrible that he's going off the air,
- 41:33Speaker 3: that he was such a wonderful national treasure, and that
- 41:38Speaker 3: he was pushed off for political reasons. He was thrown
- 41:42Speaker 3: off the air mainly because the show's a total disaster.
- 41:45Speaker 3: Ratings are low. Oh, they'll tell you it beats Jimmy Kimmel,
- 41:48Speaker 3: it beats Fallon. Well, that's only because they have even
- 41:50Speaker 3: lower ratings. The ratings are minuscule, and the show loses
- 41:55Speaker 3: forty to fifty million each year. It's been losing forty
- 41:57Speaker 3: to fifty million a year. Real question is why did
- 42:00Speaker 3: they keep it on if it's losing forty to fifty
- 42:02Speaker 3: million a year. Well that might have been the political part.
- 42:05Speaker 3: So a lot of people, a lot of critics are
- 42:08Speaker 3: starting to write seriously about it, how much damage he
- 42:10Speaker 3: might have done to America just by ruining late night TV.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Late Night with Steve Allen was Jack Parr, was Johnny Carson,
- 42:18Speaker 3: Jay Leno was the original good David Letterman. It was fun.
- 42:22Speaker 3: It was funny. That was the idea. The idea was
- 42:26Speaker 3: you'd have some laughs, you'd be entertained, laugh and relaxed
- 42:29Speaker 3: before you go to sleep, not do one hour of
- 42:32Speaker 3: vicious hatred. It's called the Late Show. They should have
- 42:34Speaker 3: called it the hate Show. Remember, years ago, it was
- 42:38Speaker 3: twenty four, twenty two years ago, there was a famous incident.
- 42:42Speaker 3: John Stewart was invited on what was then the very
- 42:46Speaker 3: popular political show Crossfire on CNN. That was a big
- 42:49Speaker 3: show every afternoon where they would debate and sometimes they
- 42:52Speaker 3: would get nasty. Remember John Stewart came on and he
- 42:55Speaker 3: told them off. He told off Crossfire right on the air,
- 42:58Speaker 3: right in front of him. He said, just angry, rhetic rhetoric.
- 43:02Speaker 3: It's hurting America. This anger, this angry politics, it's bad
- 43:06Speaker 3: for America. Well, skip ahead to today, and guys like
- 43:12Speaker 3: John Stewart embraced this angry anger, but Colbert was the worst.
- 43:16Speaker 3: John Stuart there's a twinkle in his eye. He's funny,
- 43:20Speaker 3: he can go after both sides. Colbert, there's no twinkle
- 43:23Speaker 3: in his eye, just a psycho look. He's a nasty,
- 43:27Speaker 3: nasty guy in real life and a nasty guy in
- 43:30Speaker 3: the air. It was just a combination of total fake news,
- 43:35Speaker 3: divisive monologues, and he only went after political opponents. There
- 43:39Speaker 3: was no balance at all none.
- 43:43Speaker 12: Hey.
- 43:43Speaker 3: Now, remember when Colbert started originally eleven years ago, the
- 43:46Speaker 3: show was a disaster ratings wise, every wise. And then
- 43:50Speaker 3: Trump started to run and he went after Trump and
- 43:53Speaker 3: that's where he took off. So he just cranked up
- 43:56Speaker 3: the Trump hatred. So it was a blessing and occur
- 44:00Speaker 3: for him. It helped him, but in the end it
- 44:03Speaker 3: just kind of killed him and he got really ugly
- 44:06Speaker 3: with the Trump stuff. Remember when he went after was
- 44:11Speaker 3: it Jared Kushner? He called, I can't even repeat it,
- 44:14Speaker 3: a something blank holster, it's a dirty, dirty porn expression.
- 44:18Speaker 3: I remember the CBS censor who cut it out said
- 44:21Speaker 3: it was the single ugliest thing they ever had a
- 44:23Speaker 3: censor out of a show. But that's Colbert. He could
- 44:26Speaker 3: get really dirty, dirty, ugly in his language and everything.
- 44:30Speaker 3: He put out these fake stories that you know in
- 44:32Speaker 3: real life he teaches Sunday school. Yeah, nobody teaches Sunday school.
- 44:36Speaker 3: Could have said what they had to bleep out that night.
- 44:39Speaker 3: So it was just awful, the hatred, and you got
- 44:43Speaker 3: to remember he was fake news to the extreme. There
- 44:47Speaker 3: is nobody on earth that pushed the Russia hoax more
- 44:51Speaker 3: than Stephen Colbert. If you go back and check the record,
- 44:55Speaker 3: it was that's where he really hit his stride. The
- 44:57Speaker 3: Russia hoax. He pushed that harder than it turned out
- 45:01Speaker 3: to be. Totally false, a completely ridiculous, made up lie.
- 45:06Speaker 3: He never apologized for it, not once, never apologized, and
- 45:12Speaker 3: then he totally ignored anything. No, never a joke, never
- 45:16Speaker 3: a comment about anything bad with a Democrat, Never anything
- 45:19Speaker 3: about Eric Swalwell, never anything about Hunter Biden or the laptop,
- 45:23Speaker 3: no mention of it. Biden in total cognitive decline, Colbert
- 45:28Speaker 3: engaged in the cover up, never mentioned it. Remember the
- 45:33Speaker 3: hoax about Charlottesville. Trump supposedly said very fine. People on
- 45:36Speaker 3: the Nazi said, total hoax, Colbert pushed that like crazy,
- 45:42Speaker 3: and some people think the biggest mistake ever was not
- 45:45Speaker 3: going after Biden, who was obviously perfect for a comedian,
- 45:49Speaker 3: perfect target. But Colbert just ignored the whole thing. So
- 45:56Speaker 3: he's leaving, I think he says, what is he gonna do?
- 45:59Speaker 3: Now here's the fascinating part, and this tells you everything.
- 46:02Speaker 3: It was announced about eight months ago that he was
- 46:04Speaker 3: being fired. Nobody, no TV network, no TV company, Nobody
- 46:08Speaker 3: has come forward to offer him a show. Nobody has
- 46:11Speaker 3: offered him anything. Long ago, before the firing, he had
- 46:17Speaker 3: sold a script idea for a sequel to The Hobbit.
- 46:21Speaker 3: They liked the script he came up with, so when
- 46:24Speaker 3: he leaves, that's what he'll work on. That script. It's
- 46:26Speaker 3: going to be a movie. But nobody has offered him
- 46:29Speaker 3: a TV show. He's now an empty nester. He's got
- 46:32Speaker 3: the three kids that are all grown up and out
- 46:33Speaker 3: of the house. He says he wants to enjoy life.
- 46:37Speaker 3: Is an empty nester, spend time with his wife. He's
- 46:41Speaker 3: been married thirty two years. He supposedly is about worth
- 46:45Speaker 3: seventy five million now. He earned a salary of about
- 46:47Speaker 3: fifteen million a year, so that's it tomorrow night. It
- 46:52Speaker 3: might be worth watching that final show just to see.
- 46:54Speaker 3: He's going to probably set the world record for ugliness
- 46:58Speaker 3: for bitterness on television. It's going to get really ugly.
- 47:02Speaker 4: Now.
- 47:03Speaker 3: Remember he's fired, he's gone, he's never coming back to CBS.
- 47:07Speaker 3: Nobody's offered him a job, so he doesn't have to
- 47:09Speaker 3: worry about blowing the next job, so he could get
- 47:12Speaker 3: really ugly tomorrow night. Hey, Pizza Hut, Now this is
- 47:17Speaker 3: an interesting story. You know, twenty twenty six, among young, young,
- 47:21Speaker 3: young people, there's a wave of nostalgia. Nobody can figure
- 47:25Speaker 3: out why, but they're getting nostalgic. That's why. Those are
- 47:29Speaker 3: the people buying vinyl phonograph albums. They're bringing back flip phones.
- 47:34Speaker 3: They like iPods, not iPhones, iPods. They're getting into this nostalgia.
- 47:40Speaker 3: They're even taking up analog hobbies and that sort of stuff.
- 47:43Speaker 3: I don't know what that's all about. So Pizza Hut
- 47:46Speaker 3: has decided to rewind, go back to their old decorp.
- 47:50Speaker 3: They're trying it out in eighty restaurants. You know, you
- 47:53Speaker 3: go to a Pizza Hut. Now it's very modern, plastic,
- 47:57Speaker 3: you know, minimal. They're going back to the old decorps
- 48:00Speaker 3: and these younger people love it. The old day corps
- 48:02Speaker 3: means red checkered tablecloths, vinyl booth, Tiffany style lamps, bringing
- 48:09Speaker 3: back the salad bar, those big red plastic cups. They're
- 48:13Speaker 3: putting pac Man machines in there, and apparently it's working.
- 48:18Speaker 3: It's working. Business is way up in these locations, so
- 48:22Speaker 3: keep an eye on that trend that might start spreading around.
- 48:26Speaker 3: Here's another one, Kellogg's Cereal. They're now putting toys back
- 48:31Speaker 3: in the breakfast cereal. I remember you used to wait
- 48:33Speaker 3: to see what the toy was in the bottom of
- 48:35Speaker 3: the cereal. That was a great thing. Why did they
- 48:37Speaker 3: get rid of it? Well, see I never realized this.
- 48:40Speaker 3: Apparently reason number one to cut costs. It costs money
- 48:46Speaker 3: to put those toys in there. And the other thing
- 48:48Speaker 3: is was a choking problem. Kids were choking on the toys.
- 48:53Speaker 3: Apparently they didn't they're not that bright. They would pour
- 48:56Speaker 3: the cereal in the bowl, the toy would go in there.
- 48:59Speaker 11: So so.
- 49:01Speaker 3: Consumers got all upset about the choking problem, and that's
- 49:06Speaker 3: another reason they stopped. But it's coming back. Special edition
- 49:08Speaker 3: boxes of frosted Flakes, fruit loops apple Jacks, corn pops.
- 49:14Speaker 3: We'll have plastic shaped toys, characters from Disney and Toy
- 49:18Speaker 3: Story five. So but again the US Consumer Product Safety
- 49:24Speaker 3: Commission deemed them a choking hazard. But we'll see how
- 49:27Speaker 3: they get around it this time. Hey, crazy mom Donnie
- 49:32Speaker 3: mayor Mom Donnie's been having these meetings with business leaders
- 49:35Speaker 3: ever since he's ugly, ugly, dirty personal attack on Ken Griffin.
- 49:40Speaker 3: They say they're going well, nobody's really gotten into a
- 49:43Speaker 3: fight with him. He met with Jamie Diamond of JP
- 49:46Speaker 3: Morgan David Solomon, CEO of Goldman Sachs. They don't know
- 49:51Speaker 3: how productive these meetings were. He got along very well
- 49:53Speaker 3: with Jamie Diamond. They hit it off, very constructive meeting.
- 49:59Speaker 3: I don't know if anything will Some of these these
- 50:00Speaker 3: are just kind of much just for show. Nothing's really
- 50:04Speaker 3: happening in these meetings. They were set up by that
- 50:07Speaker 3: silly Partnership for New York City run by the extremely
- 50:12Speaker 3: overpaid Kathy Wilde. It's a business advocacy group that really
- 50:17Speaker 3: again engages in just symbolic thing. I don't know anything
- 50:21Speaker 3: they've ever actually gotten done. Hey, we'll take some calls
- 50:24Speaker 3: in a minute. Eight hundred three to two one zero
- 50:28Speaker 3: seven to ten is the number eight hundred three to
- 50:31Speaker 3: two one zero seven to ten.
- 50:33Speaker 2: Let's get back to the Mark Simone show on woor.
- 50:40Speaker 3: Let's take some calls. Let's go to Greg and Jersey City. Greg,
- 50:43Speaker 3: how you doing?
- 50:45Speaker 13: Hey?
- 50:45Speaker 4: Doing good?
- 50:46Speaker 8: I was down in Massey's district last week because one
- 50:49Speaker 8: of those pizza locations is right across the river from
- 50:53Speaker 8: downtown Cincinnati, and it's actually one franchise with those eighty locations.
- 50:59Speaker 8: You have get permit from corporate to revert back to
- 51:02Speaker 8: the old, you know, restaurant style concept.
- 51:05Speaker 4: So and was it.
- 51:06Speaker 3: Crowded, was it busy? Did people love it?
- 51:08Speaker 13: Oh?
- 51:09Speaker 8: Yeah, it was maybe like forty to fifty you know
- 51:13Speaker 8: parties in the rest. It was about seven o'clock at.
- 51:16Speaker 4: Night at a time.
- 51:17Speaker 8: And yeah, I mean it'll be remains to be seen
- 51:22Speaker 8: if other franchisees within PIZEZS. Hutt will adopt the concept, because,
- 51:29Speaker 8: like I say, it's just one guy, and yeah, it's
- 51:32Speaker 8: a test run.
- 51:33Speaker 3: All right, good point, Greg, But remember it's usually the
- 51:36Speaker 3: local franchisee that comes up with everything. You know, McDonald's
- 51:39Speaker 3: spends a fortune every year research and development. They've got
- 51:42Speaker 3: a test kitchen where they try to come up with things.
- 51:45Speaker 3: In about fifty years, they never came up with anything
- 51:48Speaker 3: that worked. In fact, everything they came up with it
- 51:51Speaker 3: was a disaster, like the McLean or the McRib or
- 51:54Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. It was the local franchises that
- 51:57Speaker 3: came A local franchise guy came up with Big Mac,
- 52:01Speaker 3: a local franchise gate guy came up with the fish sandwich.
- 52:05Speaker 3: Every great thing invented by a franchise. Hey, by the way,
- 52:09Speaker 3: try the Big Arch. That's their new big juicy burger.
- 52:13Speaker 3: Very good. It's better than the Big Mac. Try it.
- 52:16Speaker 3: Let's go to Terry in Connecticut. Terry, how you doing.
- 52:20Speaker 17: I'm John, Well, thank you. I'm watching the commenced with
- 52:24Speaker 17: at the Coast Guard Academy and a couple of people
- 52:26Speaker 17: who fainted.
- 52:28Speaker 3: But anyway, today today in grotten President Trump is there
- 52:32Speaker 3: for the Coast Guard graduation. You were there, No, I'm
- 52:36Speaker 3: watching it on TV and people are fainting.
- 52:39Speaker 17: Yeah. They were a boy than two and they had
- 52:42Speaker 17: paramedics because it's so hot. Oh well, they were waiting
- 52:47Speaker 17: they fainted.
- 52:48Speaker 3: But anyway, these are Coast Guards guys, are they.
- 52:52Speaker 11: No?
- 52:53Speaker 4: Oh?
- 52:53Speaker 3: Good?
- 52:53Speaker 17: Well by standards, Okay.
- 52:56Speaker 3: We don't want to Coast Guard to faints.
- 52:58Speaker 14: Yeah, go ahead anyway.
- 53:00Speaker 17: The second thing I wanted to ask you, did Stephen
- 53:03Speaker 17: Colberer have an appendiciitis attack on TV at one time?
- 53:08Speaker 3: I don't know, but you know, with that angry scholar
- 53:10Speaker 3: in his face, you could never tell who knows with him,
- 53:12Speaker 3: he always looks like he's having an attack.
- 53:14Speaker 17: Well, that's what it said. He was doing a segment
- 53:18Speaker 17: and he had to be rushed to the hospital because
- 53:20Speaker 17: he had an appendicitis attack.
- 53:22Speaker 3: Oh well, that's terrible. We don't want to see that
- 53:24Speaker 3: happen anybody.
- 53:25Speaker 17: Even But that's all I wanted to say.
- 53:26Speaker 3: Thank you, all right, thanks for calling. Yeah, the President
- 53:29Speaker 3: going to Grotten Connecticut for the Coastguard graduation. He's doing
- 53:33Speaker 3: that right now, and then he goes to Rockland County
- 53:37Speaker 3: for another graduation. He's traveling around all day to day.
- 53:42Speaker 3: I don't know where he's you know, mar A Lagos
- 53:44Speaker 3: now closed for the season, closes till about Halloween. So
- 53:50Speaker 3: he used to go to Bedminster in the summer in
- 53:52Speaker 3: New Jersey stay there. But he's got a beautiful golf
- 53:55Speaker 3: course right outside of Washington, d C. In in the
- 53:57Speaker 3: suburbs in Virginia. So he's been used and that a
- 54:00Speaker 3: lot on the weekend. Let's go to Paul in white Stone, Paul,
- 54:03Speaker 3: how you doing?
- 54:05Speaker 13: Hey?
- 54:05Speaker 10: Mark Brooklyn, congresswoman of Vet Clock had a very memorable
- 54:08Speaker 10: experience on Colbert one time, and I hope he brings
- 54:11Speaker 10: her back for the last show. They were talking about
- 54:14Speaker 10: when Brooklyn joined the City of New York in eighteen
- 54:17Speaker 10: ninety eight, and he said, if you could go back
- 54:19Speaker 10: to that time, what would you say to your constituents.
- 54:22Speaker 10: She said, let my people go and people left? And
- 54:26Speaker 10: Colbert said what people? She said, the slaves. Colbert said
- 54:30Speaker 10: there were slaves in Brooklyn in eighteen ninety eight and
- 54:33Speaker 10: she said yeah. He said, who is holding them in slavery?
- 54:36Speaker 10: She said the Dutch. So she thought the Dutch controlled
- 54:41Speaker 10: Brooklyn in eighteen ninety eight, Yes, and still had slaves. Complete.
- 54:45Speaker 3: Well, that's a good thing about being a Democrat or
- 54:48Speaker 3: having Trump arrangement syndrome. Whatever you heard on morning show
- 54:50Speaker 3: good enough for me. I'll repeat it. I'll just repeat it.
- 54:53Speaker 3: From the Russia hoax to all that crap. Well, let's
- 54:56Speaker 3: go to Jim in New Jersey. Jim, how you doing?
- 55:00Speaker 14: Adler was the second richest man in the world at
- 55:02Speaker 14: one time? Who was Who was Henry Flagler? Florida? Everything
- 55:08Speaker 14: in what he's named after Flagler. Wait, slow down, slow down,
- 55:12Speaker 14: Take a breath. Take a breath.
- 55:13Speaker 3: Relaxed, calm down, slow So.
- 55:17Speaker 14: Mark, what he did was incredible to turn in the
- 55:20Speaker 14: last century. He built a railroad from Miami to Key West.
- 55:25Speaker 14: It took him thirteen years he lived to see it completed,
- 55:28Speaker 14: and it was great. You could take the train from
- 55:30Speaker 14: New York to Key West. Unfortunately, by the time the
- 55:33Speaker 14: thirties that the automobile was coming around, so nobody was
- 55:35Speaker 14: taking the train and the final coup de cutta. You
- 55:38Speaker 14: can see it in that great movie Key Largo with
- 55:40Speaker 14: Bogart Edward g Robinson. There's a scene where Lionel Barrymore
- 55:45Speaker 14: is scaring Edward g Robinson because he hurricane is hitting
- 55:49Speaker 14: the hotel, and he describes the Labor Day Hurricane of
- 55:52Speaker 14: nineteen thirty five, which was the most powerful hurricane that
- 55:56Speaker 14: ever hit the United States.
- 55:57Speaker 3: You just filled in pretty good a relief. All right, Well,
- 56:02Speaker 3: thanks for calling problem with that train. As you end
- 56:04Speaker 3: up in Key West. I guess that's okay down there
- 56:08Speaker 3: in Key West, but it's a scary drive. You go
- 56:10Speaker 3: over that bridge that's over the water for like miles,
- 56:13Speaker 3: very scary. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how
- 56:17Speaker 3: you doing.
- 56:18Speaker 13: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Mara. Speaking about when Brooklyn
- 56:23Speaker 13: was its own city about fifty years ago, I dated
- 56:27Speaker 13: a girl who was living in the Brooklyn in the
- 56:30Speaker 13: house of the Brooklyn Mayor. Quite a mansion. Well, anyway,
- 56:34Speaker 13: speaking about nostalgia, Mark, last year when I was in Italy,
- 56:39Speaker 13: I'm in an area that's touristy, and these two Japanese
- 56:43Speaker 13: kids come up to me, and I said, what's this
- 56:47Speaker 13: all about? They come up to me and Andison look
- 56:50Speaker 13: in maybe eighteen nineteen, and they had a modern polaroid
- 56:55Speaker 13: camera there and it was like candy apple, lime, green
- 56:59Speaker 13: and white. I was all made out of plastic. And
- 57:02Speaker 13: they said to me, could you take a picture of us?
- 57:05Speaker 13: And they had iPhones hanging from their wrists.
- 57:09Speaker 3: That I'm saying, well, you know, that's another part of
- 57:11Speaker 3: this nostalgia trend they started bringing. They brought back polaroid
- 57:14Speaker 3: cameras a few years ago. A lot of kids are
- 57:16Speaker 3: using now the only advantage of the polaroid camera. You
- 57:18Speaker 3: might want to take note of This is if you
- 57:21Speaker 3: need to take a picture and you don't want it digital,
- 57:23Speaker 3: because if it's on your phone, it's there forever and
- 57:26Speaker 3: if you want to hand the picture to somebody, that
- 57:28Speaker 3: way was never transmitted digitally, nobody can find a trace
- 57:31Speaker 3: of it might.
- 57:32Speaker 4: Be useful for you.
- 57:33Speaker 13: And another thing mark in Rome, what they discovered in
- 57:37Speaker 13: the tourist area where all the tourist restaurants they actually
- 57:42Speaker 13: went back to, as you said, the red and white
- 57:46Speaker 13: Gingham table clawed with the kiyanti bottle with the candle
- 57:51Speaker 13: in the middle, because the people from the Midwest, in
- 57:54Speaker 13: their mind's eye, that's what they imagine the Roman restaurants,
- 58:00Speaker 13: the red and white check and table plot and with
- 58:04Speaker 13: the key ante bottle. The last time I went to
- 58:06Speaker 13: a restaurant like that in New York I remember, was
- 58:10Speaker 13: in the village on all of Fort Street and sixth Avenue.
- 58:14Speaker 13: It was next to the Waverley. It was called Emilio
- 58:18Speaker 13: Skylight Gardens. That had to be maybe even almost close
- 58:22Speaker 13: to sixty year I know, but those were great.
- 58:24Speaker 3: That was the kind of place Don Draper would go.
- 58:27Speaker 3: That's what you want.
- 58:28Speaker 13: The food was good.
- 58:29Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Vincent, thanks for calling. Great calling it's
- 58:32Speaker 3: like going to Jimmy Weston's or Jilly's. Are one of
- 58:35Speaker 3: those places. Oh, when we come back and Colter, we'll
- 58:39Speaker 3: be with us next. Lots to talk to her about
- 58:41Speaker 3: coming up on seven to ten wo R.

- 59:16Speaker 18: I'm on Rumble. I post live videos Mondays and Thursdays
- 59:21Speaker 18: five pm. At least we're shooting for five pm. It
- 59:24Speaker 18: was a slight delay on Monday interviews or just me
- 59:28Speaker 18: chattering about the events of the week.
- 59:30Speaker 3: What do you mean you shoot for five p It's
- 59:32Speaker 3: got to be five pm. It's a TV show.
- 59:33Speaker 10: I know.
- 59:34Speaker 18: Well, we did it really well the first few times.
- 59:40Speaker 18: I'll do better tomorrow.
- 59:42Speaker 3: Speaking of television, are you going to be watching tomorrow
- 59:44Speaker 3: night as the final Colbert Show?
- 59:51Speaker 18: Like America's No.
- 59:55Speaker 8: I will not be you know, it's too bad.
- 59:57Speaker 18: He used to be No one even rememb now, but
- 1:00:00Speaker 18: he used to be funny. And then I mean all
- 1:00:03Speaker 18: these late night hosts used to be funny, but they
- 1:00:06Speaker 18: really took a turn getting into partisan politics. That made
- 1:00:10Speaker 18: them a little different from MSNBC hosts, who, by the way,
- 1:00:15Speaker 18: also think they're hilarious. That's very cute, cute, cute cute.
- 1:00:20Speaker 18: There really wasn't much difference. But you know, we can
- 1:00:23Speaker 18: get that twenty four to seven, and young people won't
- 1:00:27Speaker 18: remember this. I mean, you know better than anyone. But
- 1:00:29Speaker 18: the old style late night TV like Jay Leno and
- 1:00:35Speaker 18: Johnny Carson absolutely no partisan bent.
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: Yeah, the idea of late night was you'd have some
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: laughs and relax and laugh and be entertainment before you
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: go to sleep. Who came up with the idea, let's
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: get you riled up and get you viciously angry right
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: before you go to sleep.
- 1:00:52Speaker 18: And also, I mean it's just it's for as comedians say, quacked,
- 1:01:00Speaker 18: not from laughter.
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: That's a great point. Yeah, this trend started like last
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: few years. A letterman, you tell a joke that's so
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: anti Trump or anti Republican that the audience will clap.
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: They call it clapter. You not have to a laugh anymore.
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: What does that tell you about these people that they
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: don't even want to laugh anymore?
- 1:01:22Speaker 18: Well, as comedians also say, comedy is hard, having an
- 1:01:27Speaker 18: opinion is not hard. Being sneering is not hard. And
- 1:01:31Speaker 18: it's just a lazy way of doing comedy. We don't
- 1:01:34Speaker 18: need to be funny, We just need to come up
- 1:01:37Speaker 18: with a string of vicious adjectives about Donald Trump.
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: That's a very good point. Yeah, all right, that's a
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: great way to explain it. Hey, speaking of Donald Trump,
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: it's going to be the name will be changed in
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: Palm Beach the airport too, Donald J. Trump Airport in July.
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: Won't that be worth it just to watch liberals go
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: crazy having to fly in there and look at that
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: name everywhere.
- 1:02:02Speaker 18: I'm afraid you and I part company on this. There
- 1:02:06Speaker 18: are many things I president about whom I wrote the
- 1:02:11Speaker 18: book in Trump We Trust, I did see. And this
- 1:02:16Speaker 18: is why, this is why I the actual upside of
- 1:02:21Speaker 18: getting my news from the New York Times and MSNBC
- 1:02:25Speaker 18: is that they are incessant string of denunciations of him.
- 1:02:30Speaker 18: To put me in a great mood. Because everything they're
- 1:02:33Speaker 18: upset about are exactly the things I like about him. Yeah,
- 1:02:37Speaker 18: just saw headlined in the New York Times yesterday, And
- 1:02:39Speaker 18: this is an answer to your question, by the way,
- 1:02:42Speaker 18: about how the Trump administration will be letting in I
- 1:02:46Speaker 18: don't know, something like seventeen thousand white South Africans, which
- 1:02:50Speaker 18: is very very upset about because they've only had fifty
- 1:02:53Speaker 18: years to bring in the dregs of the Third World.
- 1:02:55Speaker 18: How dare you bring in educated white people? This was
- 1:03:00Speaker 18: completely throw off the balance of the country. So yeah,
- 1:03:04Speaker 18: I love that. I love when he goes after the
- 1:03:08Speaker 18: open egregious discrimination against particularly white males, but white people generally.
- 1:03:13Speaker 18: I like him taking down all the PC nonsense on
- 1:03:16Speaker 18: our on our national parks and gosh, I hope. I
- 1:03:24Speaker 18: was not wild about Trump's pick for for Department of
- 1:03:29Speaker 18: Homeland Security, Mark Mullins, because he had said some terrible,
- 1:03:34Speaker 18: terrible things about amnesty in the past, who seemed to
- 1:03:36Speaker 18: be open to it. But it appears that he is
- 1:03:40Speaker 18: actually continuing the deportations without without taking everybody off, which
- 1:03:46Speaker 18: is perfect. That's great. So these are the things I
- 1:03:49Speaker 18: like about our president, park Simone, the the imitation of
- 1:03:54Speaker 18: Caesar or I don't know, the Tsar's Court. No, this
- 1:04:01Speaker 18: is this is very bad.
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: Can you blame a lot of that?
- 1:04:05Speaker 18: Not as bad as other things he's doing?
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: Wait, can you blame a lot of that Ice stuff
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: on Christy know who made it such a spectacle that
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: it drew too much attention to what Ice was doing?
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: Bad attention. Once she's gone, everything, calm down.
- 1:04:21Speaker 18: Yes, yes, I would like to point out that she
- 1:04:24Speaker 18: was the one cabinet official I was vehemently opposed to.
- 1:04:29Speaker 18: I was quite happy with most of them, and at
- 1:04:32Speaker 18: least not not others. No, she was always ridiculous. And
- 1:04:38Speaker 18: it's the I mean, I suppose Treasury. Some may say
- 1:04:41Speaker 18: Treasury is slightly more important, but by my life, Department
- 1:04:45Speaker 18: of Homeland Security is the most important position in Trump's cabinet,
- 1:04:50Speaker 18: and he picks this bimbo.
- 1:04:53Speaker 8: It was.
- 1:04:53Speaker 18: It was preposterous because she was because she's dating Corey Lewandowski.
- 1:04:58Speaker 8: That was a disaster.
- 1:05:00Speaker 18: So that goes in the con column.
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: Okay, we know you got a con column when it
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: comes to further Hey, you know it's college graduation season.
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: I'm watching some of these commencement speeches. These colleges are
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: the most radical left wing and doctrine nation centers. Tell
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: everybody what it used to be like. Didn't you used
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: to go speak at colleges. It was very common to
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: have speakers from both sides of the aisle and have
- 1:05:23Speaker 3: debate where that's all gone.
- 1:05:25Speaker 18: Well, it wasn't exactly Nirvana, but I didn't want Nirvana.
- 1:05:31Speaker 18: I wanted not necessarily protesters, but you know, as long
- 1:05:35Speaker 18: as they stood outside I wanted. It was actually pretty
- 1:05:39Speaker 18: good advertising. Having them stand outside with signs denouncing me
- 1:05:44Speaker 18: got a lot of attention to the speech. But it
- 1:05:47Speaker 18: used to be and particularly I wrote about this in
- 1:05:49Speaker 18: one of my books. I think it's if Democrats had
- 1:05:53Speaker 18: any brains, they'd be a Republican at the beginning. I
- 1:05:56Speaker 18: write about this that I think for about fifteen years
- 1:06:00Speaker 18: I gave more college speeches than certainly any other conservative
- 1:06:04Speaker 18: and sort of contrary to my expectation, better schools you
- 1:06:12Speaker 18: would never you would never have people I don't know,
- 1:06:15Speaker 18: throwing stuff, rushing the stage, you know, trying to do
- 1:06:21Speaker 18: you physical harm, or just or simply standing outside protesting.
- 1:06:26Speaker 18: They wanted to beat you in question and answer because
- 1:06:28Speaker 18: they were smart kids. Yeah, So before i'd go to
- 1:06:31Speaker 18: a college, I'd check what the average SAT was to
- 1:06:35Speaker 18: see how difficult it was going to be. Now, maybe
- 1:06:41Speaker 18: from the sat Optional period during COVID it's every college,
- 1:06:47Speaker 18: it's just you have to worry about just NonStop violence.
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: So when did it all go crazy? Was it when
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: Trump came along that they just cranked it up and
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: went nuts on the left?
- 1:06:58Speaker 16: Yeah?
- 1:06:58Speaker 18: I think it was Trump that that that really broke
- 1:07:03Speaker 18: the left's brains. I mean, we saw it in so
- 1:07:06Speaker 18: many ways with the media dropping its famed objectivity. And
- 1:07:13Speaker 18: I say that sarcastically. It's not like they were particularly
- 1:07:18Speaker 18: objective before. I mean back when when I wrote slander
- 1:07:22Speaker 18: in what was that two thousand and three of people
- 1:07:27Speaker 18: in the in the major newsrooms Washington Post, New York
- 1:07:29Speaker 18: Times had voted for the Democrat. So you know, you
- 1:07:33Speaker 18: can try to put a feeling was as much as possible,
- 1:07:37Speaker 18: but that is not going to lead to an actual
- 1:07:40Speaker 18: objective reporting. I mean, there there's a question of what
- 1:07:43Speaker 18: you're going to report.
- 1:07:45Speaker 15: For example, any of them back then.
- 1:07:50Speaker 18: When Trump ran, the New York Times actually made an
- 1:07:53Speaker 18: official decision that it was okay to call a politicianal liar.
- 1:07:59Speaker 18: That's just one example of how they changed. And I
- 1:08:02Speaker 18: just think a lot of them really really lost their
- 1:08:05Speaker 18: minds with Trump, though I have to say it is
- 1:08:07Speaker 18: on both sides. I think a lot of people on
- 1:08:09Speaker 18: our side lost their minds too. There is very little
- 1:08:13Speaker 18: objectivity you have. Obviously the hatred and violence of the
- 1:08:20Speaker 18: left is quite a bit worse. But going in the
- 1:08:23Speaker 18: con column on Trump, the fact that he does seem
- 1:08:27Speaker 18: to have this cult following that, I mean, there's nothing
- 1:08:31Speaker 18: about principle or issues or what he stands for. He
- 1:08:34Speaker 18: could come out with the full platform of Bernie Sanders
- 1:08:37Speaker 18: or AOC and you would have not all of them, obviously,
- 1:08:41Speaker 18: not you, not me, but you would have a fairly
- 1:08:45Speaker 18: large portion of them. I don't know twenty percent, thirty
- 1:08:49Speaker 18: percent who will absolutely swear fidelity to him. And that's
- 1:08:52Speaker 18: something we never used to see among Republicans. You would
- 1:08:55Speaker 18: see it among Democrats. Is something I described in my
- 1:08:58Speaker 18: book Demonic. With all these these I mean, it can't
- 1:09:02Speaker 18: happen with Democrat president after Democrat president, all these female
- 1:09:05Speaker 18: journalists would be writing writing articles about their sex dreams
- 1:09:09Speaker 18: about Obama or are their sex dreams about Bell Clinton.
- 1:09:13Speaker 18: I promise you no conservative, as much as we loved him,
- 1:09:16Speaker 18: ever had a sex dream about Ronald Reagan, and in fact,
- 1:09:20Speaker 18: we tend to be kind of tough on on or
- 1:09:23Speaker 18: in the past. This is the classic Republican tough on
- 1:09:26Speaker 18: our leaders because we were the party of ideas. I
- 1:09:30Speaker 18: think there is there is a portion of of of
- 1:09:34Speaker 18: the right of the Trump supporters that that are not
- 1:09:39Speaker 18: about ideas. It really is a personality cult, and I
- 1:09:43Speaker 18: hope it goes away with Trump. There's a lot to
- 1:09:46Speaker 18: like about him. There's some things there aren't, but you're
- 1:09:49Speaker 18: really giving up the whole party of ideas or standing
- 1:09:52Speaker 18: on principle or caring about freedom or the Constitution or
- 1:09:55Speaker 18: anything else. That's why I have a list of pros
- 1:09:57Speaker 18: and cons or some things he's doing great and some
- 1:10:00Speaker 18: things he's not doing so great.
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: All right, Well, and Culter, we're out of time, but

- 1:11:04Speaker 3: But you know, you might not associate him with talk radio,
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: but he was quite the talk radio host for a
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: long time. You know, he was Rush Limbaugh's main filling
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: for years, did a lot of talk radio. So he'll
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: be here tomorrow. That'll be interesting. Ken Risotto on Friday,
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: and I'll be back next week. But don't forget. At

- 1:11:36Speaker 3: to ten on seven to ten WR.
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: Now back to Mark Simon on wor.
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: Well. It was a big night last night for President Trump.
- 1:11:48Speaker 3: He endorsed a lot of candidates, some against big incumbents,
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: and every one of his candidates won. Donald Trump went
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: thirty seven and oh last night, thirty seven and zero,
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: knocking out big incumbents like Thomas Massey and Cassidy and
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: Cornyan and others. It was a big, huge victory for
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: President Trump last night. Sent a shockwave through all those
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: congressional Republicans who like to go against him. You probably
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: won't see much of that anymore. So it's a Memorial
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: Day weekend coming up. I'm gonna be off tomorrow and Friday.
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: I'll be back. Well, actually Monday's Memorial Day, so I'll
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: be back on Tuesday. But be listening tomorrow. Jim Kerr

- 1:12:32Speaker 10: In for me.
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: That should be interesting. That's tomorrow, and we should have
- 1:12:36Speaker 3: a great Memorial Day weekend. See you soon. Seven to
