Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Mister New York Mark zimone. He's on seven ten. Wr oh.
- 0:08Speaker 2: We got a lot to get through this hour. We'll
- 0:10Speaker 2: get back to China and more. Now, you remember the
- 0:13Speaker 2: president when he was just private citizen, Donald Trump. It
- 0:17Speaker 2: was back in the eighties, and he really showed up
- 0:20Speaker 2: the city of New York. It was the Woman skating
- 0:23Speaker 2: rink in Central Park. It had been closed down and
- 0:27Speaker 2: was basically a construction site. They were trying to fix
- 0:29Speaker 2: the skating rink in Woman Park for years, and it
- 0:35Speaker 2: drove Donald Trump nuts because his Trump Tower, if you
- 0:41Speaker 2: were on that side of the building as he was
- 0:43Speaker 2: in his apartment or in his office, and the view
- 0:46Speaker 2: was looking into Central Park and it looked horrible. He'd
- 0:49Speaker 2: look into the Woman Rink and it was just this big,
- 0:51Speaker 2: ugly construction site and it was a total mess.
- 0:55Speaker 3: On.
- 0:55Speaker 2: This went on for years. So finally went public about it,
- 0:59Speaker 2: and Ed Koch was the mayor at the time, and
- 1:00Speaker 2: they got into a big war about it. The city
- 1:03Speaker 2: was trying to rebuild the skating rink and they had
- 1:07Speaker 2: spent like one hundred million or some crazy amount and
- 1:11Speaker 2: it was taken seven years, and they announced it could
- 1:15Speaker 2: take another seven years and Trump really went after Koch
- 1:20Speaker 2: because this is absolutely ridiculous. The skating rink, it's a
- 1:23Speaker 2: slab of concrete, was a mice on it. To take
- 1:26Speaker 2: a few weeks, and Koch couldn't believe the arrogance of Trump,
- 1:31Speaker 2: so he challenged him publicly. He said, all right, let's
- 1:35Speaker 2: see you do it. Let's see you build that skating
- 1:37Speaker 2: rink in a few weeks. Well he did. It was simple.
- 1:42Speaker 2: He's a construction guy. The City of New York was
- 1:44Speaker 2: going to take something like fourteen years and spend one
- 1:46Speaker 2: hundred million, and every time they built the thing and
- 1:49Speaker 2: they had to tear it up because it was all wrong.
- 1:53Speaker 2: The government doesn't know how to build anything. Trump got
- 1:55Speaker 2: it done so fast and at no cost. You know.
- 1:59Speaker 2: One of the big was the City of New York
- 2:02Speaker 2: had hired an air conditioning company from Miami to build
- 2:06Speaker 2: the rink. And every time they put the pipes in
- 2:08Speaker 2: or the things that there was always the wrong pipes.
- 2:10Speaker 2: They didn't work, and they Trump said, this is ridiculous.
- 2:15Speaker 2: He said, every time I go to Madison Square Garden,
- 2:18Speaker 2: there's a basketball game one night, next night there's a
- 2:20Speaker 2: hockey game. So somehow, in one night they put a
- 2:23Speaker 2: state of the art skating rink down. So he called
- 2:25Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden and he said, how do you build
- 2:28Speaker 2: these skating rinks? They said, well, you got ice guys
- 2:31Speaker 2: who build them. The best one is the Montreal Canadians guy.
- 2:35Speaker 2: So Trump called him up. He was honored to come
- 2:37Speaker 2: to Central Park. So he got it done real fast,
- 2:40Speaker 2: at like one fifty at the cost that the city
- 2:43Speaker 2: was going to spend, got it done in a couple
- 2:44Speaker 2: of months, and showed up the city. Cotch was so
- 2:48Speaker 2: upset he never spoke to Trump again. The same thing
- 2:52Speaker 2: is going on right now in Washington, d C. With
- 2:56Speaker 2: the reflecting pool. You know where the Lincoln Memorial is
- 2:59Speaker 2: and the Washington Monunit. In between is that long, beautiful pool,
- 3:03Speaker 2: the reflecting pool. You see it in all the pictures.
- 3:07Speaker 2: That's where Martin Luther King, you know, made the speech
- 3:09Speaker 2: in front of that, A magnificent long reflecting pool. Well,
- 3:13Speaker 2: it's been in total disrepair for the last few years
- 3:17Speaker 2: thanks to Biden Obama. It's not only in total disrepair,
- 3:23Speaker 2: all cracked and awful, but it's filled with feces. Yeah,
- 3:29Speaker 2: I don't know, something with the drainage. It's filled with feces.
- 3:33Speaker 2: It is absolutely disgusting. So President Trump decided, you got
- 3:37Speaker 2: to fix this. You know, it's not really his responsibility,
- 3:40Speaker 2: but he looks at it and says, you got to
- 3:42Speaker 2: fix this. So he announced he would take care of it.
- 3:45Speaker 2: He would rebuild a reflecting pool. I think let me
- 3:49Speaker 2: get the numbers. I think he said six million to
- 3:51Speaker 2: fix it. Well, the New York Times is going after him.
- 3:55Speaker 2: They're writing these vicious pieces about the costs are out
- 3:57Speaker 2: of control. Originally he said two million, he said two million.
- 4:05Speaker 2: So the New York Times writes a big piece attacking
- 4:07Speaker 2: him because actual cost has now jumped to almost thirteen
- 4:10Speaker 2: million from two million. It's out of control. Well, as
- 4:15Speaker 2: he pointed out the Biden demonstration, the government was going
- 4:18Speaker 2: to do it for four hundred million. And again it's
- 4:21Speaker 2: like the woman ring. They'll use all the wrong people
- 4:24Speaker 2: that don't know what they're doing. Now, remember Donald Trump
- 4:27Speaker 2: builds swimming pools all over the world for years. He's
- 4:31Speaker 2: an expert at building swimming pools. All of his resorts,
- 4:35Speaker 2: all of his hotels, all of his golf courses, they
- 4:37Speaker 2: have magnificent swimming pools. So he said, I'll bring in
- 4:41Speaker 2: the top swimming pool guys, this is basically a swimming pool,
- 4:44Speaker 2: and they'll fix everything. They'll fix the drains, they'll fix
- 4:46Speaker 2: the tile, they'll redo it. And so what if it's
- 4:50Speaker 2: thirteen million. The government was going to do four hundred million,
- 4:53Speaker 2: and they said it would take them five years. Trump
- 4:55Speaker 2: says it'll take him a couple of weeks. So this
- 4:59Speaker 2: is another on rink about to happen. The difference is
- 5:02Speaker 2: you won't see much coverage of this. They'll keep this
- 5:04Speaker 2: one real quiet. Hey, the virus. Now they've brought back
- 5:10Speaker 2: people off that ship. There are three Americans from that
- 5:12Speaker 2: ship with the virus that hunt a virus. They're back
- 5:16Speaker 2: in this country. They're on a military base. We have
- 5:18Speaker 2: a military base that is a quarantine center. They are there.
- 5:23Speaker 2: It's in Nebraska. People in Nebraska are worried about these
- 5:26Speaker 2: people with the virus. Here's the guy at the base.
- 5:28Speaker 2: No one who poses a risk to public health is
- 5:31Speaker 2: walking out the front door of the streets of Omahar beyond. Yeah,
- 5:37Speaker 2: unless you elect Andrew Cuomo governor. I've ordered everybody to
- 5:41Speaker 2: go into the quarantine center. Remember that. Looking back on
- 5:45Speaker 2: that now, was that the single dumbest decision any politician
- 5:50Speaker 2: has ever made in the history of the world. The
- 5:52Speaker 2: middle of the big pandemic with the virus, he orders
- 5:56Speaker 2: all the nursing homes to take in patients who have
- 5:59Speaker 2: the virus. They just got diagnosed with the virus. They
- 6:02Speaker 2: got it, it's definite. He ordered the nursing homes to
- 6:05Speaker 2: take them in. It killed ten thousand senior citizens. But
- 6:09Speaker 2: the virus officials saying it's not a threat. Don't worry,
- 6:12Speaker 2: it's not gonna spread. Here's President Trump.
- 6:15Speaker 4: He gave us all wrong information on COVID.
- 6:17Speaker 2: They were totally wrong. And I looked today and I
- 6:20Speaker 2: saw the.
- 6:20Speaker 5: Same doctor that was there.
- 6:22Speaker 2: He's a good politician.
- 6:23Speaker 5: I don't know how all he kept his shot, but
- 6:25Speaker 5: he was there telling us about this.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Yeah, they did get it wrong before. Now, remember we
- 6:30Speaker 2: got the video, we got the audio. Before the pandemic
- 6:33Speaker 2: broke out. Here, Fauci was on radio on TV saying,
- 6:37Speaker 2: whenever he was asked, he said, there's no nothing to
- 6:39Speaker 2: worry about. The virus will not come here. That was
- 6:43Speaker 2: Fauci over and over. He said a number of times
- 6:45Speaker 2: before it came here. So they do get it wrong.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Just just remember that.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Help.
- 6:51Speaker 2: It's fine.
- 6:52Speaker 5: All I can do is everything that a president can do,
- 6:55Speaker 5: which is which is actually somewhat limited.
- 6:58Speaker 2: But it seems like it is not easy to spread. Yeah, well,
- 7:06Speaker 2: uh so, now again all the experts of scientists say,
- 7:09Speaker 2: it's not like the coronavirus. This one's not airborne. It's
- 7:13Speaker 2: very tough to transmit. It takes very very close contact,
- 7:18Speaker 2: usually in exchange of fluids. Hey, so where we are
- 7:22Speaker 2: right here, If you look out the window, that's fifty
- 7:24Speaker 2: sixth Street, and right over there is fifty seventh Street.
- 7:27Speaker 2: They call it Billionaire's Row. And if you go over
- 7:30Speaker 2: there to Billionaire's Row, they're the most expensive apartment buildings
- 7:34Speaker 2: in the world. In fact, I was watching Channel four
- 7:39Speaker 2: News a few months ago and it said, when we
- 7:42Speaker 2: come back, the most expensive block in the world. So
- 7:47Speaker 2: I waited to the commercials, what is the most expense? Well,
- 7:51Speaker 2: they showed our neighborhood. Right over there, it's fifty seventh
- 7:55Speaker 2: between sixth and seventh. It's the most expensive block in
- 7:58Speaker 2: the world. You got all these buildings, got that Steinway Building,
- 8:02Speaker 2: apartments go for ninety million, one hundred million. You got
- 8:06Speaker 2: one Central Park apartments go for one hundred and twenty
- 8:09Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty million. Michael Dell has an apartment there,
- 8:12Speaker 2: Bill Ackman, a lot of hedge fund guys, a lot
- 8:15Speaker 2: of Russian oligarchs, and you got a bunch of these buildings.
- 8:19Speaker 2: You got what's the other one there, right up the block.
- 8:23Speaker 2: It's that one has apartments. It's like one hundred and
- 8:26Speaker 2: five stories. It's actually the tallest apartment building in North America.
- 8:30Speaker 2: It has apartments going for like one hundred and fifty million.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Right next to that is Ken Griffin's building. So it's
- 8:36Speaker 2: a really expensive neighborhood. And you got all kinds of
- 8:39Speaker 2: great restaurants. You've got Carnegie Hall is on the block.
- 8:43Speaker 2: It's the most magnificent block now because it's right over there,
- 8:48Speaker 2: a block from work. I walked that block all the time.
- 8:51Speaker 2: I never noticed this, But in the middle of these
- 8:54Speaker 2: super tall high rises, the most expensive buildings in the world,
- 8:57Speaker 2: there's a couple of little buildings, you know, like those
- 9:00Speaker 2: brownstone kind of buildings, those walk up buildings. There's you know, five,
- 9:04Speaker 2: four or five stories. There's a few of them left
- 9:05Speaker 2: in between some of those buildings. One of them has
- 9:08Speaker 2: Angelo's Pizza in it, which is phenomenal. One of them
- 9:12Speaker 2: has like a little bodega and I never looked up
- 9:14Speaker 2: at the second floor till I saw this article. But
- 9:18Speaker 2: if you look up at the second floor, there's an awning.
- 9:20Speaker 2: It says fifty seven star beauty shop, one eleven West
- 9:25Speaker 2: fifty seventh Street. Well, big article New York Post today.
- 9:28Speaker 2: This could actually help him. It's could have hurt him,
- 9:30Speaker 2: but it could help him. Apparently, this fifty seven star
- 9:34Speaker 2: beauty shop is now being targeted by the city. It's
- 9:38Speaker 2: a hot Asian lady brothel. Robert Kraft. Are you listening.
- 9:44Speaker 2: An undercover officer went in there posing as a customer,
- 9:49Speaker 2: and it says he was offered manual stimulation. Well, I
- 9:57Speaker 2: think I know what that is. That's what Robert Craft
- 9:59Speaker 2: was and that let's call it manual stimulation. So I
- 10:05Speaker 2: guess they went after the place. And the beauty shop
- 10:11Speaker 2: owner is an older Asian woman. She claims not to
- 10:14Speaker 2: speak English and talks through an interpreter, but she insists
- 10:19Speaker 2: that they only do facials, massages and head therapy. Well,
- 10:23Speaker 2: so he was offered manual stimulation, but I don't know
- 10:27Speaker 2: if they do more. But hey, if that's what you're offered,
- 10:30Speaker 2: remember that was that Robert Kraft got caught with that.
- 10:32Speaker 2: If that's what it is. I don't mean to be naive,
- 10:36Speaker 2: but can't you do that yourself at home? Why do
- 10:41Speaker 2: you have to go to this place and look at
- 10:44Speaker 2: the pictures inside? You go up this seed looking staircase
- 10:48Speaker 2: into this A nine to one one call first prompted
- 10:52Speaker 2: the NYPD investigation. The owner denies the whole thing. Apparently
- 11:00Speaker 2: people in the building next door where they paid one
- 11:02Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million for their apartment, have been complaining
- 11:06Speaker 2: about it. One says it was somewhat of a little
- 11:08Speaker 2: known secret. Who knows, maybe got a few Robert Crafts
- 11:12Speaker 2: in that building and don't mind having this thing there.
- 11:14Speaker 2: But see what happens. Expect that thing to get closed
- 11:17Speaker 2: down pretty soon. So hey, Gavin Newsom got his first
- 11:21Speaker 2: big donor. You know, he's a colorful guy. He's quite
- 11:24Speaker 2: a personality. He's a real media expert, knows how to
- 11:28Speaker 2: play up the media, get a lot of attention, a
- 11:31Speaker 2: lot of FaceTime on television. But he wasn't really doing
- 11:34Speaker 2: anything with donations. But he got his first major one.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Read Hastings. Reid Hastings, who was a famous billionaire out
- 11:42Speaker 2: there in California, first one to get behind him and
- 11:47Speaker 2: has donated a million dollars. Hastings, a DEM mega donor
- 11:51Speaker 2: who backed Harris last time, is now bagging backing Newsom
- 11:56Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight million dollar donation. Now, just remember
- 12:00Speaker 2: there's a pattern here that we see all the time
- 12:03Speaker 2: in a lot of Democratic presidential races. If you go
- 12:06Speaker 2: two three years out, there's always a flashy, pretty boy
- 12:11Speaker 2: candidate who looks like he's gonna be the nominee. And
- 12:15Speaker 2: whoever that is always fails. He always fades away by
- 12:19Speaker 2: the year of the election. It was John Edwards one year,
- 12:23Speaker 2: it was Gary Hart one year. So it's Gavin Newsom
- 12:26Speaker 2: in that role. So these guys always fade out. And
- 12:29Speaker 2: also remember the big, big, big mega donors, the wealthy
- 12:33Speaker 2: mega donors, both parties are always wrong. Every time you
- 12:39Speaker 2: can check the history of this, people have actually charted
- 12:42Speaker 2: it out. Whoever the big mega donors get behind guaranteed loser.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Think Ron DeSantis, think we can go down the whole list.
- 12:50Speaker 2: But so the fact that the mega donors are now
- 12:54Speaker 2: starting to vacu him means Newsom is finished. The polling
- 12:58Speaker 2: actually shows now it's way too early, doesn't mean anything.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Twenty twenty eight, you're way way way too early, years away.
- 13:05Speaker 2: It's too early to even think about it. So nothing
- 13:07Speaker 2: means anything now. But in the current polling, twenty five
- 13:11Speaker 2: percent of Democrats support Harris Newsom is at twelve little
- 13:15Speaker 2: less than half AOC and Pete Buddha Jedge are at nine. Now,
- 13:20Speaker 2: this is what the Democratic Party or oh I forgot.
- 13:24Speaker 2: President Trump Now saying democrats call them democrats from now on,
- 13:28Speaker 2: don't say democrats, say democrats. So the Democratic Party loves
- 13:34Speaker 2: these dumb people. They love AOC, they love Buddha Judge,
- 13:38Speaker 2: and they all have something in common same thing with Newsom.
- 13:40Speaker 2: They're people that they look good, they sound good, they
- 13:42Speaker 2: talk a good game, they're great on the Sunday shows,
- 13:45Speaker 2: but they get nothing done in real life. In real
- 13:47Speaker 2: life they're the worst managers. They screw up anything they run.
- 13:52Speaker 2: In the case of AOC, she's actually never actually run
- 13:54Speaker 2: anything ever. Hey, remember we're talking about those data centers,
- 13:59Speaker 2: you know, to run AI, to power AI and all
- 14:02Speaker 2: this stuff. You need these massive data centers. And whenever
- 14:05Speaker 2: they open one, people are treating it like a nuclear plant.
- 14:08Speaker 2: All the residents start petitioning, protesting, going after the town hall.
- 14:14Speaker 2: They want it stopped. Kevin O'Leary's trying to open a
- 14:17Speaker 2: data center. They're blocking them. Well, there's one in Georgia.
- 14:20Speaker 2: It's been opened for a while. Residents are furious. You know,
- 14:24Speaker 2: AI requires like a thousand times as much electricity as
- 14:28Speaker 2: regular internet stuff, so AI uses tons of electricity. In fact,
- 14:33Speaker 2: there's a lot of people think we don't even have
- 14:36Speaker 2: enough electricity in the future to even do enough AI.
- 14:39Speaker 2: But this one data center, it's in Georgia, it's seven
- 14:44Speaker 2: million square feet. They're huge. It's a little town with
- 14:47Speaker 2: a population of twenty thousand. But besides the electricity, apparently
- 14:52Speaker 2: the data center guzzled up all their water. The data
- 14:56Speaker 2: center used up thirty million gallons of water. Thirty million
- 15:00Speaker 2: use so much water that everybody in the town has
- 15:04Speaker 2: almost half the water pressure. They got very very very
- 15:07Speaker 2: weak water pressure because of this data center. So they're
- 15:11Speaker 2: trying to do something about it, but it's too late.
- 15:13Speaker 2: It's already there. It's owned by Blackstone, the big hedge fund,
- 15:16Speaker 2: so good luck with that. But it's just it's gonna
- 15:20Speaker 2: be a problem. All this is going to be worse
- 15:22Speaker 2: than nuclear plants. Many communities will say, forget that, give
- 15:26Speaker 2: me a nuclear plant. I rather have that. Hey, we'll
- 15:28Speaker 2: take some calls. Next eight hundred three to two one
- 15:31Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three two
- 15:35Speaker 2: one zero seven ten.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Set up preseat on the iHeartRadio app to doubor to
- 15:41Speaker 1: hear Mark live. Set another for Mark's podcast to hear
- 15:45Speaker 1: him anytime. Now back to Mark Simone on woor.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to hal in Freeport. Hell.
- 15:55Speaker 2: How you doing?
- 15:57Speaker 6: Hey? Guys? How were you well? Talking about? There's row
- 16:00Speaker 6: with this uh Chinese or whatever happy place. The reason
- 16:06Speaker 6: they don't tax it is they don't know where to
- 16:10Speaker 6: put the meter on the peter or the heater.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. Why would a guy go
- 16:16Speaker 2: to a prostitute? Why do people do that? Let's take
- 16:18Speaker 2: your case. Why do you do it?
- 16:21Speaker 6: Why because you relax? Okay, unwined, You can't do that
- 16:25Speaker 6: at home? No, I used to have him come to
- 16:29Speaker 6: my house. But your house, yep?
- 16:33Speaker 2: How much does a house called hundred well worth? This
- 16:39Speaker 2: must be a real top of the line beauty for
- 16:41Speaker 2: a hundred well.
- 16:43Speaker 6: No, they know what they're doing, you know, it's they're
- 16:45Speaker 6: professionals at it. I'm surprised that they don't get work
- 16:48Speaker 6: with commps if they carpal tunnel.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean. Now, let me ask
- 16:53Speaker 2: you something. Well, seriously, it says manual stimulation. You can't
- 16:57Speaker 2: do that yourself. You got to pay somebody to come
- 16:59Speaker 2: do it. How lazy are you?
- 17:01Speaker 6: I subcontract everything I'm gonna sign because I don't make neon.
- 17:05Speaker 6: I have people make it for me. I bring the
- 17:08Speaker 6: work in. And also there's men in those places, and
- 17:12Speaker 6: they do the Yellow Pages on the women. I know
- 17:15Speaker 6: what girl, she went through it.
- 17:16Speaker 2: I know what the Yellow Pages is, and I don't
- 17:18Speaker 2: want to know.
- 17:20Speaker 6: The girl came out. The girl came out, she was
- 17:24Speaker 6: like crosssides. She was smiling for a week.
- 17:26Speaker 2: All right, all right, listen to Robert Kraft Junior. We'll
- 17:29Speaker 2: talk to you later. Let's go to uh Mike in Florida. Mike,
- 17:33Speaker 2: how you doing?
- 17:36Speaker 3: Very funny, you know, Mark.
- 17:38Speaker 7: You know it's also very funny is that the same
- 17:40Speaker 7: people who were complaining about Trump redoing the reflecting pool had.
- 17:44Speaker 3: No problem with George Floyd murals everywhere and BLM being
- 17:49Speaker 3: painted all over the streets of Washington, which no pun
- 17:52Speaker 3: intended reflected badly on us, as opposed to the pool,
- 17:55Speaker 3: which would reflect very nicely on.
- 17:56Speaker 7: The country looking nice, don't you think?
- 17:59Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you think. And the government was going
- 18:03Speaker 2: to do it for four hundred million and seven years.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Let Trump do it for thirteen million in two weeks exactly.
- 18:09Speaker 7: And the other thing too. You were mentioning about guys
- 18:11Speaker 7: like Newsom, you know Newsom, then this is a this
- 18:14Speaker 7: is the trick of the party. They want interfering for
- 18:17Speaker 7: the guys behind them. So he gets he takes all
- 18:21Speaker 7: the all the incoming and then silently they're grooming you know,
- 18:26Speaker 7: an Obama type, you know, to sort of like that.
- 18:28Speaker 7: Nobody's got their eyes on it, and then all of
- 18:30Speaker 7: a sudden he comes from out of the blue. It's like, oh,
- 18:32Speaker 7: this is the greatest thing.
- 18:33Speaker 5: Splice.
- 18:34Speaker 7: But because the other guy was a real punts and
- 18:36Speaker 7: I think that's what they're grooming Newsom for.
- 18:40Speaker 2: Yeah, good point. All right, Well, thanks for calling. Let's
- 18:43Speaker 2: go to Bill in New Jersey. Bill, how you doing?
- 18:47Speaker 8: Hey there, Mark, first time pauler, longtime listener. I remember
- 18:51Speaker 8: you back about forty five years ago in nineteen eighty
- 18:54Speaker 8: when you were doing the sixty voice contest on those states. Yep, Yeah,
- 19:01Speaker 8: I wanted to comment about your thoughts on Newsom. I
- 19:05Speaker 8: think the situation with him is a little bit different.
- 19:08Speaker 8: John Edwards of course, had the baby out of wedlock scandal,
- 19:13Speaker 8: Garry Hardhead, dot a rice with Gavin Newsom, and his
- 19:17Speaker 8: close relationship with Natcy Pelosi. I think it's going to
- 19:20Speaker 8: take a lot to get him unseated as the Democrats.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you gotta remember the way that works. If
- 19:24Speaker 2: you're the pretty boy front runner for a year or two,
- 19:28Speaker 2: you look like you're the guy. And the reason they
- 19:31Speaker 2: had all these scandals is the other Democrats want to
- 19:34Speaker 2: get you out of there, so they dig up the
- 19:36Speaker 2: scandals on you. You don't think they confare enough.
- 19:38Speaker 8: I hear you.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Yeah, don't worry. They'll find stuff on and Newsom's got
- 19:42Speaker 2: a lot of scandal in his past. But thanks for calling. Yeah,
- 19:47Speaker 2: that's a good point when I say the pretty boy
- 19:49Speaker 2: who's in the lead three years out never gets it. Well,
- 19:52Speaker 2: all the scandals took him in. It's the Democrats. That's
- 19:54Speaker 2: the way they play the game. Dig up all the dirt.
- 19:57Speaker 2: The opponents dig up all the dirt on him and
- 19:59Speaker 2: get him out of there. And Newsom has a very
- 20:03Speaker 2: sleazy track record. You know, he got caught sleeping with
- 20:09Speaker 2: his best friend's wife. He got caught sleeping with his
- 20:12Speaker 2: campaign manager's wife, and you can go online you can
- 20:16Speaker 2: see the video where he had to finally confess to it.
- 20:18Speaker 2: He said he didn't realize what he was doing. It
- 20:21Speaker 2: was a moment of weakness and all that. So, you know,
- 20:25Speaker 2: I else, remember people get taught on the midterms. That's
- 20:28Speaker 2: a long way await many many many, many many months away.
- 20:32Speaker 2: But a big issue will be remember that President Trump,
- 20:37Speaker 2: if he said the twenty twenty election was illegitimate, they
- 20:40Speaker 2: go nuts the media, the Democrats, how dare you say?
- 20:42Speaker 2: How dare you call it illegitimate? But Democrats are running
- 20:46Speaker 2: on the fact that the Supreme Court is illegitimate. It's
- 20:49Speaker 2: pretty much the same thing. If you're calling a government
- 20:51Speaker 2: institution like an election illegitimate, it's just as bad to
- 20:55Speaker 2: call the Supreme Court an entire branch of government illegitimate.
- 20:59Speaker 2: And Schumer has called the Jeffreys. They've all said this
- 21:03Speaker 2: is an illegitimate Supreme Court as as bad as anything
- 21:06Speaker 2: Trump has said. But even Hakeem Jeffries is coming right
- 21:10Speaker 2: out and saying it. You know the problem is when
- 21:14Speaker 2: Democrats take over, they want to rig the whole place.
- 21:17Speaker 2: It really change your alter our democracy. They want to
- 21:20Speaker 2: bring in two more states, Puerto Rico, Washington, d C.
- 21:24Speaker 2: The reason they want to make those two states is
- 21:26Speaker 2: they'll always have a democratic voting and that way they'll
- 21:29Speaker 2: get two more senators from Puerto Rico, two more senators
- 21:33Speaker 2: from DC, so it'll be an extra four democratic senators.
- 21:36Speaker 2: They want to redo the Supreme Court. Instead of nine justices,
- 21:40Speaker 2: they want to make it twenty. That way they can
- 21:42Speaker 2: load it up with fifteen whoever they want. And Hakeem
- 21:45Speaker 2: Jeffries coming right out and saying it.
- 21:48Speaker 4: Now in the new Congress, we're going to have to
- 21:50Speaker 4: do something about this Supreme Court. And let me be
- 21:52Speaker 4: very clear, everything is on the table, everything to deal
- 21:57Speaker 4: with this corrupt Maga Majar party that is issuing political
- 22:03Speaker 4: opinions that are designed to bolster the prospects of the
- 22:06Speaker 4: Republican Party, and we will not allow them to succeed.
- 22:10Speaker 2: Yeah, the low IQ Democrat Jefferies. Yeah, they always have
- 22:15Speaker 2: a name, Maga. They always make they demonize it, make
- 22:17Speaker 2: it sound like something awful. They always do that. You know,
- 22:22Speaker 2: the extreme Maga. They're not just mega, you're extreme mega
- 22:26Speaker 2: nobody even knows what it is, what that means. They
- 22:28Speaker 2: always do every Remember it was the Tea Party. They
- 22:32Speaker 2: made it sound like you were a member of the
- 22:34Speaker 2: Nazi Party, the Tea Party, or and sometimes the pick
- 22:39Speaker 2: stuff doesn't even exist, like QAnon. That's like twelve people
- 22:42Speaker 2: in some chat room. It doesn't even exist in real life. Hey,
- 22:45Speaker 2: when we come back, Bill O'Reilly will be with us.
- 22:47Speaker 2: The President leaving for China in a couple of hours. Now,
- 22:50Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly just recently went to China. He'll tell you
- 22:53Speaker 2: what it's like there. He can shed a lot of
- 22:55Speaker 2: light on this. Coming up next on seven to ten WR.
- 22:59Speaker 2: He's always headline. I had mark them seven to ten
- 23:03Speaker 2: wo R Well. Bill O'Reilly number one TV anchor for decades,
- 23:08Speaker 2: number one best selling non fiction author in the world,
- 23:12Speaker 2: also does a great show every night. You can watch
- 23:15Speaker 2: it at Bill O'Reilly dot com. Also at Bill O'Reilly
- 23:18Speaker 2: dot com you get the message of the day, the
- 23:20Speaker 2: column Everything Now. Also watches YouTube channel a lot of
- 23:23Speaker 2: great stuff Bill O'Reilly on YouTube, and his new podcast
- 23:28Speaker 2: every week is excellent. It's called We'll do It Live
- 23:31Speaker 2: this Week Chess Parliamentary. It's a great great podcast. Bill, O'Reilly?
- 23:35Speaker 2: How you doing good?
- 23:37Speaker 5: Hanging top? How you Mark?
- 23:39Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm good. Hey, I love chess Parlamentary. That
- 23:42Speaker 2: was a great great, thank you and thank you. Not
- 23:47Speaker 2: afraid to say that he's not a left wing cook.
- 23:49Speaker 2: He doesn't fear Hollywood. That's pretty good, isn't it.
- 23:52Speaker 5: Most of the actors that have reached i'd say forty
- 23:56Speaker 5: five years old, because of their life experience, have kind
- 24:02Speaker 5: of walked away from the madness on the left. Some
- 24:06Speaker 5: of them have liberal sensibilities, but they're not activists like
- 24:12Speaker 5: the younger guys are. Because the younger people in show
- 24:16Speaker 5: business understand that the more anti Trump they are, the
- 24:20Speaker 5: more jobs will come their way. It's like a transaction
- 24:25Speaker 5: and we see that in music too. That knit with
- 24:30Speaker 5: Rod Stewart said some very inappropriate things the other day. Well,
- 24:36Speaker 5: guess is going out on a summer tour and its
- 24:38Speaker 5: tickets aren't really selling.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be Rod Stewart trying the Bruce model.
- 24:46Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, Sparc Spearcy Springsteen is a pretty good draw
- 24:55Speaker 5: no matter where it goes. I've never figured it out myself.
- 25:00Speaker 5: I mean, he's okay, but if I have to choice
- 25:03Speaker 5: between Bruce and the drifters. I'm taking the drifters so anyway,
- 25:09Speaker 5: but the ones that are on the margin, no, they
- 25:12Speaker 5: can trade anti Trump feeling for commerce. And that's what
- 25:16Speaker 5: you've seen in a lot of.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, now Bill O'Reilly. The President goes to China
- 25:21Speaker 2: later today. He leaves for the trip. You have just
- 25:24Speaker 2: recently been to China, so you know everything he's in for.
- 25:28Speaker 2: First of all, how bad is the plane ride?
- 25:32Speaker 5: Well, it's not not the greatest. You got to bring
- 25:36Speaker 5: some books and stuff to amuse you. In fact, in
- 25:40Speaker 5: fifteen minutes after I get off the marks Muncha IM
- 25:45Speaker 5: having a zoom call with some of the polyp burero
- 25:48Speaker 5: over in China at their request, so they want to,
- 25:53Speaker 5: I guess, figure out what the last stand is before
- 25:56Speaker 5: Trump leaves. And I did talk to the President on
- 26:03Speaker 5: Sunday because you have to brief them on this stuff
- 26:07Speaker 5: because I'm in a very unique position. I'm a journalist,
- 26:10Speaker 5: but somehow I got dragged into diplomacy. I don't even
- 26:13Speaker 5: know how that happened. So I did talk to him
- 26:19Speaker 5: and told him that this call was set for today
- 26:23Speaker 5: and that'll be interesting to see what the Chinese have
- 26:26Speaker 5: on their mind.
- 26:27Speaker 2: Now, just tell us some things like when you're over there,
- 26:30Speaker 2: security wise, you can't bring your phone because they'll embed
- 26:33Speaker 2: stuff in it.
- 26:34Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, you got to bring a burner phone. You
- 26:37Speaker 5: can't use your regular phone. He'd be in surveil twenty
- 26:43Speaker 5: four to seven. If you're a person of note from America,
- 26:47Speaker 5: that's for sure. I had one very famous journalist call
- 26:53Speaker 5: me up. I'm not going to tell you who it is,
- 26:55Speaker 5: and said, hey, I hear they take pictures of you
- 26:59Speaker 5: in the shower, right, I said, number one, nobody wants
- 27:01Speaker 5: a picture of you in the shower, and number two,
- 27:04Speaker 5: I wouldn't worry about it. They'll tap your phone and
- 27:08Speaker 5: they'll probably have a listening device in your room, so
- 27:13Speaker 5: I wouldn't be given away any secrets. But nobody's following
- 27:18Speaker 5: you aro out with a camera.
- 27:19Speaker 2: Oh but they will have a microphone in your hotel room.
- 27:22Speaker 5: The odds are And I did the James Bond thing
- 27:25Speaker 5: in there, and I would all over the place. I
- 27:27Speaker 5: didn't find anything but.
- 27:31Speaker 2: That James fun That was like in the sixties. Nowadays
- 27:33Speaker 2: it's so tiny winning build a spot it.
- 27:35Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, and they can do all kinds of
- 27:37Speaker 5: things through walls. And windows and you have to assume
- 27:41Speaker 5: you're being surveil. It was funny when I got picked
- 27:44Speaker 5: up over there at the airport Mercedes Benz, you know,
- 27:49Speaker 5: and the guy who's driving, it would have taken you
- 27:53Speaker 5: thirty seconds to figure out this is not a driver.
- 27:59Speaker 5: This guy, you know, he's not an uber guy, and
- 28:03Speaker 5: he was there to listen and uh, you know, make
- 28:06Speaker 5: sure we got where were supposed to go.
- 28:08Speaker 2: So when you meet with Chinese officials, what is your impression?
- 28:12Speaker 2: Totally untrustworthy, totally devious.
- 28:15Speaker 5: No, no, no, they come across the politest people in
- 28:18Speaker 5: the world. They are you know, the ones that I
- 28:22Speaker 5: spoke with last May when I was in Beijing, having
- 28:27Speaker 5: them spoke English, having them use headphones. The guys will
- 28:30Speaker 5: talk to today, they speak English, and they're very very differential.
- 28:36Speaker 5: They're not competitional at all. They're not There are a
- 28:40Speaker 5: few menacing guys in there. The director of security, that's
- 28:44Speaker 5: you know, the big guy put it, if you're a Weiger,
- 28:48Speaker 5: you're in trouble. You know, he can incarcerainbody wants. Yeah,
- 28:54Speaker 5: those are kind of menacing guys, but most of them
- 28:56Speaker 5: are very very polite and they they'll never let you
- 28:59Speaker 5: know what they are.
- 29:00Speaker 2: Thinking, Yeah, if you're negotiate with them and get something
- 29:05Speaker 2: from them, is there any guarantee it'll happen? That they're
- 29:07Speaker 2: known for never ever a living by any negotiation.
- 29:11Speaker 5: Well, but that's all over the world. So you get
- 29:15Speaker 5: the best deal you can get, and then you get
- 29:17Speaker 5: an enforcement clause, and it's all you can do. Because
- 29:23Speaker 5: you can't force nations or leaders to do what you
- 29:27Speaker 5: want them to do. You try to make it very attractive.
- 29:33Speaker 5: And that's what Trump is very good at in his negotiations, saying, look,
- 29:39Speaker 5: this is going to benefit you a lot if you
- 29:42Speaker 5: help us out with Iran. Oran is gonna be number
- 29:45Speaker 5: one in this two day conference over there. The United
- 29:51Speaker 5: States could use China's help because these are mad men.
- 29:55Speaker 5: These are literally crazy people who would destroy as much
- 30:00Speaker 5: as they could destroy, and that's not good for China.
- 30:04Speaker 5: So there'll be a number of discussions about that. But
- 30:08Speaker 5: China's going to want some benefits on Taiwan. That's the problem.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Okay. So if he says help us and the China says,
- 30:17Speaker 2: all right, well will help you with Iran, now they
- 30:20Speaker 2: see how much it bothers them, so they whisper to Iran. Hey,
- 30:23Speaker 2: keep it up. You're really driving them nuts. What do
- 30:25Speaker 2: we do?
- 30:26Speaker 5: But it's more likely to be if we help you,
- 30:32Speaker 5: mister president, then we want you to renegotiate the Taiwan stuff.
- 30:42Speaker 5: That's the quid pro quo that's more likely to happen.
- 30:47Speaker 5: Deceit is not something that plays well in the international world.
- 30:53Speaker 5: It depends on the leadership, of course. But chinaese the
- 30:57Speaker 5: United States to sell us, and they don't want to
- 31:02Speaker 5: get on the wrong side of Trump.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Hey, there's a lot of people worried about the safety
- 31:07Speaker 2: over there or poisonous food or something. How safe is
- 31:11Speaker 2: he over there?
- 31:13Speaker 5: Listen? Compared to New York City, China is a better
- 31:19Speaker 5: save as you can get because there there's one real law,
- 31:24Speaker 5: crimes against the people, which covers everything everything. You spit
- 31:30Speaker 5: on a sidewalk, they don't want you spitting on a sidewalk.
- 31:33Speaker 5: You know, we'll see you around a couple of months
- 31:37Speaker 5: and no lawyers, no due process. You know, if you're
- 31:41Speaker 5: a miscreant in China, you're in trouble because they can
- 31:46Speaker 5: arrest you for anything and everything, and they do, and
- 31:51Speaker 5: that's how they control at one point five billion people
- 31:55Speaker 5: that they have living there.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Hey, now, Bill O'Reilly, you were there, aside from whatever
- 32:01Speaker 2: business you were doing there, did you say to yourself,
- 32:03Speaker 2: what a wonderful place. I'd love to come back here.
- 32:07Speaker 5: Well, you know, look, culturally, I got the Great Wall,
- 32:12Speaker 5: which was stunning. I mean, now, it was incredible to
- 32:17Speaker 5: see that walk that thing. And then you had TM
- 32:20Speaker 5: and square, and then you had you know, a bunch
- 32:23Speaker 5: of stuff that you want to see. I do as
- 32:27Speaker 5: a journalist historian. But you know, we were three days
- 32:33Speaker 5: in Beijing and I said to my son, you said
- 32:35Speaker 5: the lead. He goes no, because you're it's an uneasy place.
- 32:43Speaker 5: You're not comfortable there, and you cannot pursue happiness. That's
- 32:49Speaker 5: the big thing. In America. You can, you know pretty much,
- 32:52Speaker 5: say I want to do this and give it a try.
- 32:55Speaker 5: Not in China, they tell you what to do.
- 32:57Speaker 2: Well, well, interesting stuff. Hey, here in New York you've
- 33:02Speaker 2: you got these anti Semitic protesters. They're terrorizing people to
- 33:06Speaker 2: send agogue. That happened again last night. He got a
- 33:08Speaker 2: mayor that never says a word about it, doesn't do anything.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Have you ever seen anything like this in New York?
- 33:14Speaker 5: No, I've never seen a man in office as radical
- 33:17Speaker 5: as them dying. He's the most radical elected official I've
- 33:23Speaker 5: ever seen. The guys are flat out communist. He despises
- 33:29Speaker 5: Israel things, it's a fascist state. His wife's even worse.
- 33:35Speaker 5: And the fact that he's the mayor of New York
- 33:38Speaker 5: City does not speak well for the city.
- 33:41Speaker 2: But as the great historian, we'll get through these four years,
- 33:44Speaker 2: won't we.
- 33:45Speaker 5: Oh yeah, but it's gonna be a lot of pain
- 33:49Speaker 5: for New Yorkers because of the taxes and the draconian
- 33:55Speaker 5: rules that they're going to put into place, And that's
- 33:58Speaker 5: why a lot of people are leaving and they don't
- 34:00Speaker 5: want to be subjected to this. I mean, you could
- 34:02Speaker 5: lose if you're making a lot of money. You're an entrepreneur,
- 34:05Speaker 5: so you own your own business, heir, own restaurant, whatever
- 34:08Speaker 5: it may be. You can lose a half million dollars
- 34:12Speaker 5: in four years the city. He'll take it. Well, billah ahead, No, go.
- 34:20Speaker 2: Ahead, finish well.
- 34:22Speaker 5: I mean, look, you got to sit down with your
- 34:25Speaker 5: account and go do I want to lose a half
- 34:27Speaker 5: million dollars on my primary business? Because man, Donnie's a communist.
- 34:33Speaker 5: I mean, that's what it is. It's income redistribution. So
- 34:38Speaker 5: the people voted for it because the people who voted
- 34:40Speaker 5: for man Donnie, generally speaking, don't have any money and
- 34:46Speaker 5: so they want yours.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's the keywords you said. We'll get through it.
