Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the Mark Simon shall On sevent.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Ten wo R. Well, we'll get to all the trouble
- 0:09Speaker 2: spots around the world, Iran Venezuela, Minnesota, Greenland and the
- 0:15Speaker 2: Giants and Verizon and a whole lot more coming up.
- 0:19Speaker 1: So here's the latest. In Minnesota. You got this crazy
- 0:24Speaker 1: left wing kook of a mayor, you got this crazy
- 0:28Speaker 1: imbecile of governor Tim Waltz. You've got no leadership in
- 0:32Speaker 1: this state. It's all chaos. There's another big incident last night. Now,
- 0:39Speaker 1: apparently ICE tried to pull over an illegal and they
- 0:44Speaker 1: pulled him over, but he fled. It was a car chase,
- 0:49Speaker 1: then they fled on foot. He went into his house.
- 0:52Speaker 1: The ICE agents went into the house after him. And
- 0:55Speaker 1: by the way, this everybody seemed to agree on all
- 0:57Speaker 1: these details. It's not in dispute. But in there, the
- 1:01Speaker 1: illegal picked up a big shovel and was about to
- 1:06Speaker 1: attack the ICE agent with a big shovel, and to
- 1:09Speaker 1: defend himself, the ICE agent fired a shot, hitting the
- 1:12Speaker 1: illegal in the leg. So, now, if you're in Minnesota
- 1:18Speaker 1: or actually probably pretty much anywhere, the fake news reported
- 1:21Speaker 1: it as ICE agents shoot an immigrant in the foot
- 1:25Speaker 1: in the leg ice agents shoot an immigrant in the
- 1:29Speaker 1: leg First of all, it wasn't an immigrant, it was
- 1:31Speaker 1: in illegal and they left out all the details about
- 1:35Speaker 1: why they fired. And then all hell broke loose in
- 1:38Speaker 1: the Minneapolis with all sorts of stuff going on. And
- 1:40Speaker 1: then you got this idiotic mayor who's now of course
- 1:45Speaker 1: I can call him idiotic, but from his point of view,
- 1:47Speaker 1: it makes sense what he's doing. He wants to be
- 1:50Speaker 1: the leader of this wacko, crazy modern day democratic movement.
- 1:54Speaker 1: He wants to rise up in fame and power within
- 1:57Speaker 1: the party. And when something like this happens, and you're
- 2:00Speaker 1: all over television, You're on the network news, you're everywhere.
- 2:04Speaker 1: If that's your game, you're gonna play this up. You're
- 2:06Speaker 1: gonna keep doing these press conferences, keep saying these outrageous things.
- 2:10Speaker 1: It's fueling your crazy left wing ambition. So here's Mayor Fry.
- 2:13Speaker 3: There's still a lot that we don't know at this time,
- 2:16Speaker 3: but what I can tell you for certain is that
- 2:20Speaker 3: this is not sustainable.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Yeah, now this is that's a pretty tame cut, but
- 2:25Speaker 1: there's all these other cuts to him, you know, on
- 2:26Speaker 1: and this is unconstitutional. What I it's nothing unconstitutional about
- 2:31Speaker 1: law enforcement, enforcing law. That's what they're supposed to do.
- 2:34Speaker 1: This is police Chief O'Hara.
- 2:35Speaker 4: The crowd is engaging in unlawful acts. They have thrown
- 2:39Speaker 4: fireworks at police officers and at multiple times gas has
- 2:43Speaker 4: been deployed.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Yeah, now, so the even the police chief knows this
- 2:47Speaker 1: is getting out of control.
- 2:48Speaker 4: During the struggle, the federal agent discharged his weapon, striking
- 2:51Speaker 4: one adult male. The adult male then retreated inside of
- 2:55Speaker 4: the residents where he remained inside and refused to come out.
- 3:01Speaker 1: So it's getting out of control. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's
- 3:04Speaker 1: uh and the protesters are really getting to be a problem.
- 3:08Speaker 1: There's more and more of them. It's believed they're being
- 3:10Speaker 1: funded all this Soros type money has come in there
- 3:14Speaker 1: to fund all of this stuff. And you know, as
- 3:17Speaker 1: we're talking about yesterday, Democrats used to be the party
- 3:19Speaker 1: of the working class. Now they're the party of these
- 3:23Speaker 1: left wing wackos who don't work, who spend all day
- 3:26Speaker 1: and they're calling this protesting. It's not protesting. Protesting is
- 3:29Speaker 1: where you have a sign, you're standing over there waving
- 3:32Speaker 1: your signs, and you might be yelling things at the cops.
- 3:35Speaker 1: You might be yelling terrible things. Protesting is a sign
- 3:38Speaker 1: and yelling, that's what it is, Ramming your vehicle into them,
- 3:42Speaker 1: grabbing them, throwing stuff at the that's not protesting. And
- 3:48Speaker 1: if you try to block the cops and stop them
- 3:51Speaker 1: like this Renee Good. Remember she would do you know
- 3:55Speaker 1: anybody that would have the nerve to do this? She
- 3:57Speaker 1: drives up ahead of the law enforcement caravan, turns a
- 4:00Speaker 1: car sideways, boxes them in, blocks them in on the street.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Who would have the nerve to do this? So anyway,
- 4:05Speaker 1: that's not protesting. That's actually trying to stop law enforcement
- 4:10Speaker 1: from doing their job. It's actually trying to interfere with
- 4:13Speaker 1: government proceedings. And that's why the president now tweeting out
- 4:18Speaker 1: he may use the Insurrection Act. There is an actual
- 4:22Speaker 1: Insurrection Act, which means the president can do whatever he
- 4:25Speaker 1: has to do in a city in a state. Basically,
- 4:28Speaker 1: what it would look like is he would send maybe
- 4:31Speaker 1: National Guard, but it could also be troops, actual US
- 4:34Speaker 1: troops into a city and crack down on all this.
- 4:39Speaker 1: It's been done before, It's been done many times. The
- 4:42Speaker 1: Kennedys did it, and those southern states where they were
- 4:45Speaker 1: trying to block minority kids from going to College was
- 4:49Speaker 1: done in the late sixties. Lyndon Johnson did it. When
- 4:53Speaker 1: the riots would get out of control in certain American cities,
- 4:55Speaker 1: they would send the military in to stop it. So
- 4:58Speaker 1: the Insurrection Act is a real Now, this is actual insurrection.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Remember they tried to January sixth, Remember that was that
- 5:04Speaker 1: horrible trespassing incident at the capitol. They tried to call
- 5:08Speaker 1: that insurrection. It wasn't. Twelve hundred people were arrested and
- 5:12Speaker 1: they hit these people with every charge that could hit
- 5:15Speaker 1: them with, but none of the charges were insurrection. It
- 5:17Speaker 1: was an unlawful entry, disruption of a government proceeding, trespassing,
- 5:22Speaker 1: that sort of stuff, vandalism, not nobody got charged with insurrection.
- 5:26Speaker 1: This you could actually charge insurrection. You could actually charge insurrection.
- 5:31Speaker 1: So it's possible this could happen. We'll see. Now you're
- 5:35Speaker 1: gonna have all the crazies all over, crazy fake news,
- 5:38Speaker 1: left wing television. You got Hakeem Jeffreys. They're talking about
- 5:41Speaker 1: defunding ICE and stopping ICE, and.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Taxpayer dollars are being used by the Department of Homeland
- 5:48Speaker 3: Security and ICE to brutalize American citizens and law abiding
- 5:56Speaker 3: American taxpayers.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Now, of course, that's totally irresponsible. Is not going around
- 6:01Speaker 1: brutalizing American citizens. They're grabbing illegals off the street and
- 6:06Speaker 1: taking them into custody and then deporting them. Illegals, not immigrants,
- 6:10Speaker 1: not American citizens. And where did this come from? The idea,
- 6:14Speaker 1: this whole idea of ICE. There used to be the
- 6:17Speaker 1: border patrol. But where did this come from? This idea
- 6:20Speaker 1: that ICE could go into a city, find illegals who
- 6:24Speaker 1: had committed crimes and grab them and take them away. Well,
- 6:28Speaker 1: it's been going on for a long time. It happened
- 6:30Speaker 1: during the Obama administration, it happened during the Biden administration.
- 6:34Speaker 1: They didn't do it in great numbers, but they were
- 6:36Speaker 1: doing it then. In fact, there's a clip, I don't know,
- 6:39Speaker 1: it might be on my Twitter. It's floating around on Twitter.
- 6:41Speaker 1: It was during the Obama days when ICE was arresting
- 6:44Speaker 1: illegals on the streets of our major cities, taking them away.
- 6:48Speaker 1: And a reporter asks the White House spokesperson in the
- 6:51Speaker 1: press conference of what are you doing here? How are
- 6:54Speaker 1: you doing this? What right do you have? And she
- 6:57Speaker 1: gives a nice polite answer, and of course there's no
- 6:59Speaker 1: follow up. It's gently asked, and they gently listen to
- 7:02Speaker 1: the answer because it's a Democrat, it's Obama. So they
- 7:06Speaker 1: don't get mad. They don't huff and puff and yell
- 7:08Speaker 1: on the screen. This defunding ICE. You'll hear more about this.
- 7:12Speaker 1: This is gonna be the big thing with Democrats. They'll
- 7:14Speaker 1: try to do a government shutdown over defunding ICE. Most
- 7:18Speaker 1: people don't want ICE defunded. Most people don't like these protests.
- 7:24Speaker 1: It looks ridiculous, you know again, Democrats used to be
- 7:26Speaker 1: the party of the working class. Now they're the party
- 7:31Speaker 1: of these crazy women that don't work, angry, unhinged white
- 7:35Speaker 1: liberal women who don't work, the nose ring crowd. Basically,
- 7:40Speaker 1: the Democrats took the lgbtqz x Y whatever they are
- 7:43Speaker 1: and weaponize them. So Renee Good has a father in law.
- 7:50Speaker 1: This is the father of the crazy wife of Renee Good,
- 7:53Speaker 1: the one that was yelling and screaming at the cops,
- 7:55Speaker 1: taunting them. But even he you know, they had them
- 8:00Speaker 1: and I think it was MSNBC. You know, they wanted
- 8:02Speaker 1: this guy to denounce Trump, but he didn't do that.
- 8:04Speaker 1: He was pretty pretty reasonable in his answer.
- 8:07Speaker 5: I'm not blaming anybody. I mean it's a hard situation
- 8:10Speaker 5: all the way around. It's it's it's hard for the
- 8:13Speaker 5: you know, for everybody involved. I mean the US agent.
- 8:16Speaker 5: You know, at first I didn't see the footage where
- 8:18Speaker 5: you know, he was actually you know, he was actually
- 8:21Speaker 5: being ran. I mean I've seen the bump of the
- 8:22Speaker 5: car hitting you know, hitting his legs, and so in
- 8:26Speaker 5: a you know, in a flash like that, it's it's
- 8:28Speaker 5: hard to say how you would react. From my understanding
- 8:31Speaker 5: that he had been through that before, maybe dragged or something,
- 8:35Speaker 5: and so, uh, you know, like I said, it's just
- 8:37Speaker 5: it's just a hard situation for everybody.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. It's a very sensible, reasonable, honorable
- 8:46Speaker 1: sort of sounding guy. And then you see his daughter,
- 8:49Speaker 1: a crazy nut in the streets, screaming and yelling and
- 8:52Speaker 1: taunting law enforcement. He's more of this, A father, father
- 8:56Speaker 1: of Renee Goods wife.
- 8:58Speaker 5: I don't blame us, I don't Rebeck. I don't blame Renee.
- 9:01Speaker 5: I just you know, I just wish that, you know,
- 9:04Speaker 5: if a walking the spirit of God, I don't think
- 9:06Speaker 5: she would have been there.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Now, speaking of the ICE agent who was hit by
- 9:10Speaker 1: Renee Goods car, CBS News broke the story that when
- 9:15Speaker 1: he was taken to the hospital after that he was
- 9:18Speaker 1: suffering from internal bleeding. He was hit by the car.
- 9:21Speaker 1: You can see it in the videos from the front.
- 9:24Speaker 1: When he fired his first shot, it went through the
- 9:28Speaker 1: front windshield of the car, which means he was in
- 9:30Speaker 1: front of the car. You know, when you see that
- 9:32Speaker 1: other video, looks like he was on the side, but
- 9:34Speaker 1: you could not fire through the front windshield unless you
- 9:38Speaker 1: were in the front of the car, which he was
- 9:39Speaker 1: for the first shot. And CBS News reporting he had
- 9:44Speaker 1: internal bleeding when he got to the hospital. Now what happens, Well,
- 9:47Speaker 1: the left wing went crazy attacking CBS News. They're all
- 9:51Speaker 1: furious at CBS News for claiming he had internal bleeding.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Now that you have that phrase, they love to use
- 9:59Speaker 1: CBS report without evidence, reported without evidence. Well, they're also
- 10:04Speaker 1: without evidence that he didn't have internal bleeding. But here's
- 10:08Speaker 1: the problem with CBS News. They try to go more fair,
- 10:12Speaker 1: not right wing, just trying to be right down the
- 10:14Speaker 1: middle and give both sides, and it's got their audience
- 10:18Speaker 1: furious at them. So they've lost a few viewers. Their
- 10:21Speaker 1: nightly ratings are down to about four million. It was
- 10:24Speaker 1: five million last year. But that's Okay. You know when
- 10:27Speaker 1: you switch formats happens in the radio too. You know
- 10:31Speaker 1: you're playing a country in Western you switch to you
- 10:36Speaker 1: switch to classic rock. You know you're gonna lose a
- 10:38Speaker 1: lot of your audience. There'll be a transition before you
- 10:41Speaker 1: get your new audience in, so your ratings will drop
- 10:43Speaker 1: before they go up. And this is the same thing.
- 10:45Speaker 1: They're switching the format from crazy left wing to balanced,
- 10:50Speaker 1: and it'll take a while. Now here's what's interesting. NBC News.
- 10:53Speaker 1: You know they got this new anchor at NBC News,
- 10:57Speaker 1: Tom Yamas, good looking guy. In fact. Go on to
- 11:00Speaker 1: my Twitter. Look at the picture of the three nightly
- 11:02Speaker 1: news anchors. What's what's the guy's name on ABC, David Muir,
- 11:06Speaker 1: Tom Yamas. And it's gonna be a couple of years
- 11:09Speaker 1: before I learned the name of the CBS guy if
- 11:11Speaker 1: he's there that long, David, whatever his name is. So
- 11:15Speaker 1: these three anchors, look at the there's three pictures together,
- 11:18Speaker 1: it's on my Twitter. They look identical. They're both young,
- 11:22Speaker 1: really good looking, dark hair like young Don Draper types.
- 11:26Speaker 1: All they're identical, the three. It's amazing that's never happened
- 11:30Speaker 1: before in the history of nightly News were all three
- 11:32Speaker 1: anchors look exactly alike, but this Tom Yamas Lester Holt.
- 11:38Speaker 1: People liked Lester Holt. He was a nice guy. I
- 11:40Speaker 1: know he was crazy left wing, fake news slanted, but
- 11:45Speaker 1: he's not a bad guy in real life. He was
- 11:47Speaker 1: just like in a hostage situation. He had to do
- 11:49Speaker 1: that to keep the job. But as soon as he
- 11:52Speaker 1: was gone and this other guy took over, they did
- 11:54Speaker 1: much better. He just looked slicker, faster, younger, better than Lester.
- 12:00Speaker 1: And the ratings are up. In fact, for the first
- 12:02Speaker 1: time ever, NBC Nightly News beat ABC. This was in
- 12:06Speaker 1: the twenty five to fifty four demographic. Overall. ABC still won,
- 12:12Speaker 1: but it's a good sign for NBC News. So they
- 12:14Speaker 1: did a really good job of finding a replacement for
- 12:17Speaker 1: Lester Holt. So here's the way it works now, ABC
- 12:20Speaker 1: World News Tonight, the nightly newscast eight million viewers for
- 12:23Speaker 1: the week. That makes it the number one show in
- 12:26Speaker 1: all of television. But NBC Nightly News six point seven millions.
- 12:31Speaker 1: It's almost seven million, CBS Evening News four point two million.
- 12:36Speaker 1: But give them a chance to find a new audience
- 12:39Speaker 1: that likes reasonable, common sense stuff. Hey what happened with Iran, Well,
- 12:45Speaker 1: there was talk of going in there. They were going
- 12:47Speaker 1: to execute people. Trump threaten to go in and do
- 12:50Speaker 1: something about it. Now the word they got was that
- 12:53Speaker 1: the executions have been called off. Iran realized the idea
- 12:59Speaker 1: of executing people and hanging them in public could lead
- 13:02Speaker 1: to military actions from the US. President Trump is no
- 13:06Speaker 1: plan for executions or an execution or executions, so I've
- 13:11Speaker 1: been told that a good authority we'll find out about it.
- 13:14Speaker 1: So supposedly they've stopped. Now. The US has pulled some
- 13:19Speaker 1: of our troops out of Middle East bases that they're
- 13:21Speaker 1: near Iran. They sent all sorts of military assets, destroyers,
- 13:27Speaker 1: naval ships, everything is moving towards Iran, guided missile destroyers
- 13:33Speaker 1: and moving there. They're getting everything in place for whatever
- 13:37Speaker 1: they have to do. Iran issued a sickening threat, an
- 13:40Speaker 1: assassination threat against Donald Trump. Iran said this time it
- 13:47Speaker 1: will not miss the target. So is that a confession
- 13:49Speaker 1: that they were behind the last two? I think it
- 13:53Speaker 1: is Iran's made threats to kill the president in the past.
- 13:57Speaker 1: There was a twenty twenty two video posted by the
- 14:01Speaker 1: regime depicting an assassination on the president at Amar A
- 14:05Speaker 1: Lago golf course. And then remember there was an assassin
- 14:09Speaker 1: caught on that golf course. A Justice department also said
- 14:12Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, the US thwarted a plot to
- 14:17Speaker 1: kill President Trump after arresting company that apparently were part
- 14:20Speaker 1: of Iran's revolutionary Guard. So they have tried to kill
- 14:23Speaker 1: him before. They've issued a new threat against him, which
- 14:27Speaker 1: brings me back to what I've been saying all along.
- 14:29Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell he wanted this job.
- 14:32Speaker 1: I mean, I knew the guy in private life before
- 14:34Speaker 1: he was in politics. He had a great life, that
- 14:37Speaker 1: beautiful office in Trump Tower. You're going to parties, having fun,
- 14:40Speaker 1: Celebrities come up and see you building buildings. Who needs
- 14:44Speaker 1: to trade that in for all of this stuff? And
- 14:47Speaker 1: then on top of all these you imagine all day long,
- 14:50Speaker 1: you know, you mentioned going to a meeting with the
- 14:52Speaker 1: officials of Greenland. Who the hell wants to sit through that?
- 14:56Speaker 1: And then on top of that, you got a ran
- 14:58Speaker 1: trying to kill you. Who needs the this kind of stuff?
- 15:01Speaker 1: Now they are they may stop the executions, but they
- 15:03Speaker 1: are going crazy putting down these protests. Doctors in Iran
- 15:09Speaker 1: say they are collapsing from exhaustion because the protesters are
- 15:13Speaker 1: getting wounded, shot, all sorts of stuff happening. They're coming
- 15:17Speaker 1: into the hospitals by the thousands. The number of wounded
- 15:21Speaker 1: and dead bodies piling up. He's unbelievable, doctors saying, they're
- 15:26Speaker 1: arriving in trucks, ambulances, private cars, filled with bodies. We
- 15:30Speaker 1: can't help everyone. We're running out of supplies. Many have
- 15:33Speaker 1: died because we couldn't even get time to treat them.
- 15:36Speaker 1: All pretty bad situation in Iran. So we'll get to that.
- 15:40Speaker 1: We'll get back to that. They also will get to
- 15:42Speaker 1: the giants they're gonna hire. It looks like they're going
- 15:44Speaker 1: to hire John Harbaugh. They're lucky to have him, you know,
- 15:50Speaker 1: they're lucky that he's available. The reason he's available the
- 15:52Speaker 1: other team just fired him. I don't understand this whole procedure.
- 15:56Speaker 1: What kind of job interviews that though? Why'd you leave
- 15:58Speaker 1: your last job? Well, threw me the hell out. But
- 16:01Speaker 1: apparently they want to give him twenty million a year. Anyway,
- 16:03Speaker 1: we'll get back to this. We'll take some calls next.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven, ten,
