  Speaker 1: It's more of Mark the Mark Simon Show on WR Hey, well,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to this hour. So
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: they are drawing down in Minnesota, Tom Holman announcing earlier
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: he will remove seven hundred ICE agents. They got three
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: thousand there, so they'll take about one third of them
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: home or somewhere else. Now, the problem is you don't
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: want to encourage these kind of protesters to move to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: other cities. Now. ICE is operating all over America and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: in many, many cities on a much bigger scale, and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: there's no problem. The locals cooperate. Everything's done in a nice,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: orderly fashion. It's only in Minnesota that they decided to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: terrorize the ICE agents with protesters confronting them again. Confrontations everywhere.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: But one of the reasons they're pulling out is they've
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: gotten about four thousand dangerous criminals off the street. Could
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you imagine the federal governments in a force to remove
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the most dangerous criminals off your street, and you get
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: mad at them and try to block them and try
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to give them a hard time. So things calming down
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a little in Minnesota. Hey, the Grammy Awards, which was
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: like the big anti ICE show this year, the Grammy
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Awards with all the anti ice stuff, got a very
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: very low ratings, low ratings even worse than last year.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Last year wasn't so hot. Grammy's hit fourteen million. That's
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: good for today's television. But you know, the good old days,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the Grammys would get sixty five million, eighty million. Now
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: it's fourteen million, down six percent from last year, which
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't so hot.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Hey.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: By the way, it's the last year for CBS and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the Grammys. You know, the Grammy Awards have been on
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: CBS for fifty years, beginning in nineteen seventy three. The
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Grammy Awards were around in the fifties, and it was
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the great producer Pierre Cosette, our old buddy who I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: think it was nineteen fifty nine or sixty. He got
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the idea to make it into a TV show, which
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the networks thought was crazy, but he convinced them and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: he got it on television for the first time. And
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Pierre's close friend Andy Williams was the first host of
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the Grammy Awards and it did very well. But then
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: about I think it was the early seventies, they decided
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to cancel the Grammys. They didn't they weren't interested in
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: putting it on TV anymore. So Pierre went to CBS.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Bob Wood was the Presidency of Use and he was
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: close to him, convegged and pleaded, convinced him to try
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it on CBS. And that's where it's been for fifty years.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: But this is the last year. Now it's moving next
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: year to Disney. Disney made a ten year deal for
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the Grammy Awards, so next year it will be a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Disney show. It'll be on ABC, Disney Plus, and Hulu.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: It'll be a sign cast on all three. So we'll
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: see if it does any better streaming. Hey, you know
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that silly guy, Jerry Nadler, That waddling, ridiculous looking figure,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Jerry Nadler, left wing, angry guy. He's getting a lot
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of flat. Yesterday he made crazy, reckless comments. He said
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: he was going after Ice and he said the major
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: problem in this country is fascism in our streets. He said,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the attacks and American citizens by masked hoodlums. He's calling
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: law enforcement hoodlums. If you were attacked by a masked person,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you might think you were being kidnapped. You'd be justified
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in shooting the person to protect yourself. So imagine this
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is how crazy they get. They're like little children and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: they're so angry. And you know, when little children are angry,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: they just spew anything out of their mouth. But Nadler's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: a you know, public official, he should know better, but
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: he's spewing all this nonsense about you would be justified
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in shooting ice because they're masked and you think you're
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: being kidnapped. And JD. Vance was the first to speak out,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: calling Nadler demented, despicable behavior from an elected official. Donald
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Trump Junior the guy's demented Democrats once again openly calling
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: for violence. But again, you got to remember, they're so angry.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: The anger is again it's childish anger, like juvenile, childish,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: out of control anger that they can't even And a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: lot of these people are normally articulate people, but they
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: come to this and they can't even express themselves. They
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: just spew all this crazy, hysterical hyperbole. And Nadler getting
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of flack for it. Hey, you know the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: story of Jill Biden's ex husband. Jill Biden was married
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to a guy named Bill Stevenson million years a gooing Delaware.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: They were married I think she was. Was she the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: babysitter for the Stevenson Oh no, the I don't know something.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: She was a babysitter winning But anyway, married to this guy,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Bill Stevenson, seems to be a happy marriage. But Joe Biden,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a young Joe Biden is the Senator and he somehow
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: meets Jill Biden and he starts having an affair with
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: her while she's married to Bill Stevenson. So Jill Biden
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: starts having a married woman has an affair with the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Senator Biden, and they're carrying on for a while, and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: one day Jill's husband, Bill Stevenson, finds out his car
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: was in an accident. The car accident got banged up,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: smashed a little, and then when the police report and
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: everything comes out, it turns out Joe Biden, the Senator,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: was driving the wife's car and that's where he started
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to realize they were having an affair. So it all
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: comes out that she's sleeping with and I think Joe
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I was married at the time too, so she's having
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: an affair with him. Anyway, they end up getting divorced
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Bill Stevenson and his wife Jill. They end up getting
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a divorce. It gets messy. It goes into court and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden is dating the wife, so he gets involved,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the Senator, Joe Biden, and he tries to really screw
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: over Bill Stevenson in court so that Jill gets everything,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: takes everything the guy has. But the judge in the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: court saw right through this some shenanigans Joe Biden was
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: trying to pull, and he ruled in Bill Stevenson's favor
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: where Jill didn't get everything he had. In fact that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: it ended up Jill Biden owed him money. So the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: guy who was lucky, he got a very fair judge
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: who saw what was going on. Well, it's Joe Biden,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: evil Joe Biden. So then about a month later, Joe
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Biden has Bill Stevenson arrested. You know, Joe Biden was
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the senator in Delaware. It's a little small states, like
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: it's almost like a county, and Joe Biden had a
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: lot of cloud He ranged for this husband of Jill's
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to get arrested taken to jail over absolutely nothing. He
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: had a couple of businesses he owned restaurants and bars,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and one of the businesses they quarterly taxed was like
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a thousand dollars and they got paid two days late,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: which is nothing normal. But the police show up, they
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: arrest Bill Stevenson, they take him to jail. This is
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: all Joe Biden doing lawfair. He's got a long history
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: of using and weaponizing lawfare against his enemies. So that's
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: what happened there. Stevenson. Eventually he got convicted, but he
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: eventually went back to work and became again as a
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: very successful businessman. Now, in the last year or so,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: there's been talk of getting a pardon for this guy
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: because it was the first terrible example of lawfare from
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden falsely convicting this guy, arresting this guy. So
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of people had gone to President Trump and
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: told him the story and tried to get a pardon
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: for this guy, Bill Stevens, and there's been talk of
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: this pardon coming. Well, all of a sudden, now it
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: comes out that Bill Stevenson murdered his wife, his new wife,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: his current wife. She was found dead. Police have arrested
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Bill Stevenson. They think he murdered her in a domestic
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: violence kind of situation. But it's made a lot of
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: people suspicious. They'd still somehow see the hand of Joe
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Biden in this somewhere. I have no idea. I don't know,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: maybe murdered her, maybe didn't, and people that know him
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: can't believe it. So everybody looking carefully at this case
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to see if there was any any funny business trying
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to frame Bill Stevenson all of this. But we'll see
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: he's been arrested and we'll see what happens in this case. Hey,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: speaking of domestic violence, So you know, mom, Donnie has
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: brought back this tired, old, ridiculous thing about you don't
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: need police to respond to everything. Why can't we have
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: psychologists respond? Why can't we have social workers respond? So
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: if there's a domestic violence situation, the husband and wife,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: domestic viods, let's have a social worker respond. And of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: course everybody argues that that is the most police will tap.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: It's the most dangerous call you could respond to. Domestic
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: violence is usually an out of control husband with a
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: big butcher knife, or he's in a rage, he's like controlled,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: it's a It's the one thing cops hate to respond to.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: You can really get hurt in a domestic violence situation.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: So Mamdani wants to send in the social workers. It's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: a ridiculous idea.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: That is why I proposed creating a Department of Community
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Safety to build a mental health system rooted in prevention,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: in sustained care, and real crisis response, so officers no
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: longer have to handle these situations along. As I've said,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: when there is a violent situation, such as with the weapon,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: NYPD will be I'm to.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: See yeah, okay, Now, if you think it makes sense
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: they have the social gris response. The answer is pretty simple.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: If you talk to our great police commissioners, Ray Kelly
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and the other great commissioners, they will explain to you
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: they have tried it. It's been tried in the past
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: two three times. New York City tried it. They did it,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: they actually put it into effect. Now it turned out
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the social workers got killed, stabbed, beaten up. It was horrible.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: It doesn't work. Not to mention that after a while,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: no social worker will respond. They don't want to respond
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to any of these things. It's too dangerous. But New
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: York City has tried it. It has failed miserably and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: violently every time. So it's a ridiculous idea. Police officers
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: will explain it to you. If you're going to send
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: only medical professionals there. Understand that it's a changing dynamic
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: quickly they can pick up a weapon and charge at them.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: What are they going to do then? How are they
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: going to defend themselves. That's why the police have to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: go to these things. Now, if you want to pair
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: them all for the medical professional, that's fine. Yeah, now
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: they're trying that. So I guess that's the Mom Donnie program,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you know. But again, police have been through this a
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: million times. It doesn't make any sense to send the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: social work here. Police get there, calm it down, and
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: maybe they have to take the husband in or something,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and then you send the social worker later at another time.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: So this is the problem with Mom Donnie. You know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: he's never worked, he's never had a job, he's never
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: run anything, and he's like a college kid who just
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: got out of college. You know. They go to these
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: crazy ivy league kind of colleges where they teach them
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: all this flowery nonsense that never works in real life,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and they believe all this stuff, and you cannot explain
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to them whether it's socialism or social workers responding to
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: domestic finds. You can't explain to them this has been
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: tried seven thousand times. It fails every single time. You
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: got to be so ridiculously naive to keep trying it
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: even though it's failed every single time. Hey, speaking of ice,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel admits he not only goes to the anti
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: ice rallies, he brings his whole family with him out
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: there fighting law enforcement, standing up to them, trying to
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: stop them. You know, these guys like Jimmy Kimmeler or Colbert,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: they're so ridiculously partisan. They don't realize there's half the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: country cannot even watch them. It's impossible. You've already gotten
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: rid of fifty percent of your audience before you even started.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: They can't figure out they've got no ratings at all.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: You know, Kimmel's got like one million viewers, Colbert maybe
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: he's got one point one million. They got absolutely nobody watching, nobody.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: You know, Johnny Carson used to have fifteen million people.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: What They just can't figure this out. They end up
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: getting fired. Colbert is fired. He's wrapping it up in
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Kimmel is basically fired. They wouldn't
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: renew his contract. They just gave him a one year extension,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: which is unheard of. You always give a three to
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: five year renewal. He just got a little extension, so
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: he's basically fired. And take the Washington Post. You know,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: here's another example. The Washington Post was always a little
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: slanted to the left, but then it went crazy Trump
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: arrangement syndrome, partisan and you get rid of half your audience.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: You can't read, so readership is way way down. It's
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: now owned by Jeff Bezos. And if you got very
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: few readers, you got to start cutting costs. So they
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: just announced they're laying off three hundred people. They're getting
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: rid of the sports section, of this section, of that section.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: The employees are up in arms. There's a mutiny. They're outraged.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: They can't believe it. But but if you go that partisan,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: you're going to lose a lot of people. You caused
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: your own downfall, Bezos, What is he supposed to do
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: if you got if you lose eighty percent of your
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: audience at some point, you got to cut eighty percent
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: of your staff. But they're so idealistic they can't figure
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: it out. Hey, the Kennedy Center, the rebuilding will begin.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Now you're going to hear fake news like The Washington Post,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: New York Times. They're going to try to convince you
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: this is some crazy idea Trump wanting to shut down
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the Kennedy Center and rebuild it. What a crazy Trump idea.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: It's not a Trump idea. The government has been planning
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: this for a long time, long before Trump got there.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: In fact, the projects expected to cost about two hundred million.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: In fact, it was ast year ago Congress decided to
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: this had to be done, and they voted the money.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: They voted in two hundred and fifty seven million to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: repair Kennedy Center. So it has nothing to do with Trump.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: It was already planned, already underway. Congress had already voted
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: in the money. The difference now is, I guess they're
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: going to try to do a lot of patchwork in there,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: which isn't the Trump is the one of the finest, best,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: most knowledgeable builders in America. He personally inspected everything in
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: there and realized you can't do a patchwork job. You
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: got to rebuild the whole thing. He personally inspected it
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: showed pipes were crumbling, everything, the whole infrastructure is crumbling.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: The elevators are ridiculously outdated. If they're decades outdated. They
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: need to be replaced there at the end of their life.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: These elevators the underground parking garage showed tremendous structural failure
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: from the concrete spiling of falling apart. So they're gonna
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: have to like literally gut the whole thing. They can
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: keep some of the steel. But remember you got an
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: absolute expert in the White House at this kind of stuff.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: But it was the whole plan was begun long before
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Trump got there. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next. Eight
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: hundred three to two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven to ten
