  Speaker 1: Now Seor Presents no Mark sim Own show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, I got a lot to get to today. We'll
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: get to President Trump, Iran, We'll get to Jerome Powell,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Minnesota. We'll get to uh, we'll get
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: to Bruce Blakeman big inauguration yesterday for his second term.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: We'll get to a mom Donnie Hokeel and a whole
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: lot more coming up. So, Hey, I just to clear
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: up this Jerome Powell thing. Powell, he's the one that
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: announced it. He's the one that held the press conference
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: that the Trumpet mystery is trying to indict him, and
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: it's clearly law fair and that sort of stuff. Well, uh,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Trump adminstrass not making clear nobody was indicting him. The
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Justice Department had been asking him for information about what
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: could possibly be a crime or just gross negligence. You know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: they were rebuilding the FED building should cost about maybe
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: eight hundred thousand. Instead they spent like three billion where
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: they held Did all that money go Justice Department? And
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: he testified it in front of Congress about it, But
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: there were questions brought up by his testimony. So the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Justice Department sending him letters asking him for clarification. Asking
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: him for information, and he refused to respond. He never
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: responded to anything. So finally they sent something that said,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: you know, you have to respond to us. You can't
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: just not answer, otherwise we'd have to seek some legal remedy.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: That's all they said. And then I guess he decided
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to get ahead of it. And he's the one that
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: held a big press conference over the weekend announcing the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Justice Department is trying to indict him, and it's law fare,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and it's unusual for Powell to hold any kind of
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: press conference like that. But he got all dressed up
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and put on his best classes and held this press conference.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: He was trying to get ahead of the whole thing.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: If you're trying to get ahead of it, that implies
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you think it could be a problem. But apparently the
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Justice Department making clear nobody was in him, nobody was
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: doing it. They were simply trying to get him to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: answer the questions they had about the over spending on
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the building. Here's Powell.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: of what will serve the public, rather than following the
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: preferences of the President.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now there's no truth to that. He's just lying,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: but he's he knows the politics right now. Fake news
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: will go after Trump. So if you allege something against Trump,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: fake news will back you up. We'll play it up.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: But the fact is, nobody was threatening to indict him.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Nothing like that was happening. They just simply kept asking
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: him for information over and over again, and he refused
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: to respond to the Justice Department, and finally in one
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: of those letters saying if you just keep refusing, we'll
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: have to take some sort of legal remedy. Nobody said
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: indictment or anything like that. He is The top economists
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: in the world agree, he's the worst FED chairman in decades,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the worst FED chairman, just horrible.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: His Caroline Levitt, The President has every right to criticize
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: the FED chair He is a First Amendment right, just
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: like all of you do. And one thing for sure,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: the President's made it quite clear is Jerome Powell is
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: that at his job. As for whether or not Jerome
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Powell is a criminal, that's an answer the Department of
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Justice is going to have to find out.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now it could be not a criminal, it could
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: be ridiculous overspending. Doesn't mean he stole the money. It
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: could just mean he's the most incredibly incompetent, bumbling idiot
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: in the world and that's how he let the cost
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: get way out of control on that FED building. But
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: just the worst, absolute worst FED chairman. Now a lot
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: of people think, well, why even bother with him? He's
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: gone in two three months. Anyway, he has to step
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: down now. Part of the problem is when he steps
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: down his FED chairman, he can remain on the FED board,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: have a vote, have a lot of influence. That's unusual.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Usually when a FED chairman leaves, he leaves the board
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: as well. They don't know what Powell will do, he said,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: ordinary sort of a guy. But I think they're trying
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to pressure him to make sure that he not only
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: steps down as FED chairman, but leaves the board as well.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: So now, by the way, Elizabeth Warren made a speech
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: yesterday about the economy, a big economic speech. I don't
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: know who looks to Elizabeth Warren for economic speeches, but
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: she did it and was not bad. Wasn't bad. In fact,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: after the speech, President Trump called her to tell her
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that he really liked her speech. He was very impressed
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: with it. They had a nice conversation. Now you know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: they're not going to suddenly become great friends. And who
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: knows why he did it. Maybe you know, he likes
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to call his worst enemy, or maybe he thinks by
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: having a nice phone conversation, whether it screws her up
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: even more with the Democrats. That could be the reason too.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: But she got a lot. She was supposed to get
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of attention from this speech. She's supposed to
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: be on Rachel Maddow and Jen Psaki. But she's not
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that important anymore in democratic world. They've kind of lost
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: interest in her. They think of her as the past,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: not the future. So after this big speech, in this
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: big move yesterday, what did she get on? Like the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: worst thing you can get on at MSNBC, like Lawrence
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: O'Donnell at ten o'clock. But here's Warren yesterday.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: We are not short on good ideas and to win,
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: every Democrat should be proposing concrete plans for lowering costs.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: Sorah mom Donnie came from nowhere and took down a
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: political dynasty. How he ran a campaign tightly focused on
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: the cost of living, with easy to understand the platform,
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: free buses, freeze the rent, and deliver no cost childcare.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Very easy to understand. Doesn't make any sense, but it's
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: also impossible, but very easy to understand. What political dynasty
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: did he take down? Eric Adams? That was a dynasty.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: The guy couldn't even run for re election. He had
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: to drop out. And again, had Cuomo Andrew Cuomo not
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: shown up, the whole thing would have been different. Remember
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: when Cuomo first showed up, it was to scare Eric
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Adams out of the Democratic primary, and it worked. He
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: scared him out of the Democratic primary, convinced him that
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: he had so much money and so much backing Adams,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and had Adam stayed in, Culomo's the world's worst debater.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: He got slaughtered in both debates by Mom Donnie. Had
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Adam stayed in. He's not the most articulate kind of
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the world, but he's colorful, he's charming. He probably would
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: have done better against Mom Donnie and probably would have
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: had the Democratic nomination. But Cuomo loses the Democratic nomination,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: He loses, Democrats reject him. He then stays in the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: race as a third party candidate. And it was the
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: weirdest situation I've ever seen. Kurt Is a major party candidate.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Curtis is the Republican candidate, and people are telling them,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: you have to drop out, you have to drop Why
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: would the major party candidate have to drop out for
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: a guy on some third party? Nobody knows. It didn't
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: make any sense. Hey, Minnesota is going to sue I
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: guess the Trump administration for what. I don't know. Let's see,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: this is crazy Mayor Fry. He's their mom, Donnie here.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump should know as long as federal agents are
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: in our city acting unconstitutionally against our neighbors, we will
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: continue to push back with everything we've got.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Now, what is he talking about? What's unconstitutional? Law enforcement?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Enforcing actual laws that are on the books. I don't
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: think that's unconstitutional. You're allowed to actually enforce the law.
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: Hey.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: By the way, federal law supersedes local law. You can
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: make all your sanctuary city crazy laws, but federal law
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Trump's local law. And every legal scholar, the Alan Dershowitz's
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: our best legal scholars, say this lawsuit has absolutely no
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: chance of going anywhere. Here's that crazy Attorney General Keith Ellison,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: who should resign immediately. Eighteen billion was stolen in the
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Somali fraud scheme eighteen billion. You know how much that
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: is for one state? Eighteen billion goes missing, and this
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: guy didn't even notice. Didn't even notice. I mean, you
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: should be embarrassed, as in an Attorney general step down.
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: The deployment of thousands of armed mass DHS agents to
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: Minnesota has done.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Our state serious harm.
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: This is, in essence, a federal invasion of the Twin
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: Cities and Minnesota, and it must stop.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, well that's what democrats, that's what they do. Hysteria,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: hyperbolic nonsense.
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: We allege that the obvious targeting of Minnesota, for our diversity,
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: for our democracy, and our differences of opinion with the
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: federal government is a violation of the Constitution and of
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: federal law.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: It sounds great, you just yell all these things, but
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't make any sense. It has no
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: chance in a courtroom. Federal law says you arrest the
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: illegals and you pick them up, and you take them
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: out and get rid of them and take them out
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: of the country. So it's this is ellison. I guess
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: it's the guy behind the lawsuit. And again it has
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: absolutely no chance of doing anything in a courtroom. But
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: these lunatics think it's good for them politically, so they'll
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: keep pursuing it. This the woman Renee Good who was shot,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Renee Good. Apparently at the Golden Globe Awards, all the
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: celebrities were wearing Renee Good pins on their lapel. You know,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: it's a big thing with these celebrities at an award
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: shore you always have to have a pin. You remember,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: it was the AIDS pin, it was the breast cancer pin,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: it was this pin, which is fine, but the Renee
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Good pin. I mean, basically a crazy lunatic. And again,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: who do you know that would I mean, if a
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: cop pulled you over, wouldn't you just be nice, polite, cooperate.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe I might know somebody who'd give the
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: cop a hard time, who'd argue with the cop or
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: yell at. I might know somebody will do that. But
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: who do you know, like Renee Good? Who do you
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: know that if there was a caravan of law enforcement
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: moving up the street, would drive in front of them,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: turn a car sideways, box them in, block them in.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, when cops see that happen, the car pulls
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: up in front, turned sideways, boxes them in. That's usually
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: a sign of an ambush coming. That's like drug cartells
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: do that to wipe out a witness being transported. But
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: who do you know that would have the nerve to
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: do that. You got to be absolutely nuts to do
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: something like that. Though, Hey, yesterday was the second inauguration
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: of Bruce Blakeman. He's the Nassau County executive. Nassau County
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: for the last four years under Bruce Blakeman became the
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: safest crime statistic wise, safest county in America, most successful economically,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: every other measure county in America. He's going to run
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: for governor later this year. He's got a good chance,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I think. I mean I would vote from Brick for governor.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Being a county executive basically that's being a governor. You're
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: the governor of Nassau County. And it's not a little county.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Nasau County is a major county, three million people there.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: It's bigger than some states, one of the biggest, biggest
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: counties in New York and the makeup of it demographically
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: and all of that down party lines resembles New York States.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: So the fact that he won big there twice means
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: he's got a real good shot in New York. The
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: inauguration yesterday phenomenal. He got I would say ten standing ovations.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: He brought in Donald Trump's favorite singers, two great, great singers,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Mary Milburn and Christopher Macio. Those are the two. You
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: always sing a very beautiful, baradic voices. Singing at mari
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: A Lago, A big, big ceremony yesterday, a dinner afterwards
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Mia Posto, great restaurant, owned by some nice people. A
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: lot of famous faces there, major political figures, people from
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the business community. Our friend Sid Rosenberg was there. I
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: was there. I came in four years ago. Actually I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: was the MC of the thing, but this year they
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: didn't have an MC like that, so I came in.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't know where to sit, so I said to
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the woman, is there in a signed seat? She goes,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: let me look at the list. Oh, you're on the dais. Wow.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I felt really honored. I mean on the dais next
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: to Bruce Blakeman. But then I thought, uh, oh, I
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: mean it's an honor, but the whole audience is looking
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: at you. You can't look at your phone. You got to
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: pay attention to all the speeches. You can't do anything
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: you have to, but it would turn out to be
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: a great, great ceremony. And people love Bruce Blakeman definitely. Actually,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: if you want to help him, go to Bruce Blakeman
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: for New York dot Com. You want to volunteer, donate
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman from New York dot Com. He's gonna run
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: against Kathy Hokel and he's much more qualified than Kathy Hokele. Now,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hokel is about to make her State of the
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: State speech, and it's interesting. Blakeman is a like kind
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: of a middle of the road common sense I mean,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: he's a Republican, but a real common sense Republican, approaches
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: everything like a businessman. Hokeel tends to. She's like Cuomo.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: She'll go to the left, and if she needs to,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: she'll go to the very far left. Remember people thought
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Cuomo was some sort of moderate. He went so far
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: to the left with his no bail, no jail, closed
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the prisons, let everybody out, all his craziness. Don't be
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: surprised if she does the same thing she thinks right now.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Her thinking is she's gonna have to have Mom Donnie support,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and all the Mom Donnie people behind her. Half the
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: votes from New York State are in the City of
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: New York, so she's gonna need mom Donnie. So a
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: lot of people think she'll go in the State of
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the States speech way far to the left, and that
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: she's probably going to announce all sorts of anti ice
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: sort of stuff and just sound like a left wing kook.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: So expect that. Hey, speaking of which, Democrats are going
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: to start, you'll see this develop. They're going to start
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: their defund ice movement in Congress, trying to officially defund ice.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: It's not what American citizens want. They like ice, they
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: like law enforcement, they don't want to defund it. But
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: you know, Democrats, it started years ago with defund the police.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: It's evolved into in recent times, run them over with
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: your car if they go back to just defund all right,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: that's not so bad. Now. The President in Detroit, Michigan today,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: he's going to make a big economic speech. There's a
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: big Economic Club of New York. That speech is a
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: very important one. Every year, believe it or not, there's
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: an Economic Club of Detroit, and every president goes there
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: to speak. It's considered a very very important event. And
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: president heading there as we speak, he'll make a big
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: speech there. He'll tour the Ford Plant. So we'll see,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: we'll talk about we'll get to Iran coming up, we'll
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: get to Oh. One more thing. If you have a
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Metro card, you know, they don't use them anymore. Metro card.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: You know it used to be tokens, then switched to
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the Metro card. Now you can just use your phone.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Just hold your phone up to the turnstile and you're in.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: If you have a Metro card, do not throw it away.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know why, but Metro cards are becoming very
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: valuable as collector's items on the reseller market. Some are
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: going for up to thirty five hundred dollars. I guess
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: it's just a piece of history. But there's a whole
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: bunch of them on I guess eBay and all sorts
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: of places. A twenty twenty five card going for thirty
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: five hundred. Even just the worst listings they're going for
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: one hundred dollars. Do not throw away your Metro card.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Keep it. Go online and see what you can sell
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: it for. Hey, if you have an original iPod or
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: the first iPhone from the first year, I think I
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: still have one somewhere. I've looked online on the ebaying places.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Some of those original iPhones are selling for like twenty thousand,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: eighty thousand. The original iPod I think is going for
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: like a million dollars. Anyway, we'll take some calls next.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: the number eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten.

  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show continues on sevent tenor.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Chris in Manhattan. Chris,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: I'm good?
• 16:54
  Speaker 9: Thanks mart?
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: How are you doing it?
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: You have a cold or a flu or you.
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: Don't know yet?
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Right? Do I sound stuffed up?
• 17:00
  Speaker 10: Yes? You do?
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Allergies?
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: I think, Well, I hope you feel better up?
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: Huh?
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I feel fine?
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: Oh okay, okay, Well I hope your allergies go away.
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: Then listen, I have a question that has absolutely nothing
• 17:13
  Speaker 9: to do with you, and maybe you like to remain
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: a mystery because it's intriguing. But when you go on vacation,
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: what kind of places do you go to? Not where
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: you're going to go next, but like, what do you
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: do for enjoyment when you're not when you're on vacation
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: for two weeks.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Actually, I don't enjoy it that much. I used to
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: like to go to Florida, but you can't go there
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: now because it's all people from New York. It's the
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: same people you see in New York, only now they're
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: in shorts. It's just it doesn't work out.
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: So basically, you like the warm weather in the winter.
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: You know, you don't go skiing. You know, never say
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: anything about what you do, except you talk about restaurants
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: that you go to, which is fine because I'm listening.
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: But you know, I was just wondering. Anyway, I think
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: you have the best show on the radio. There's no butt,
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: there's no nothing.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks. Anybody goes skiing has got to be nuts.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine a ski trip? Can you imagine paying
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: to go somewhere where it's colder than where you are?
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: You imagine paying to go somewhere where there's a foot
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: of snow? I mean, who would? But there are people
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: that love it. Let's go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: Hi?
• 18:15
  Speaker 11: Happy New Year? All to talk. Reporting from the DOJ
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: of the US Attorney's Office of the Southern District of New.
• 18:24
  Speaker 12: York that I've been hearing all these years.
• 18:26
  Speaker 11: Imagine my amazement when I got a correspondence from them
• 18:29
  Speaker 11: and it was real. It's not a scam, but I
• 18:32
  Speaker 11: wanted to know if you knew about this story. Apparently
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: I'm a victim. This is a big New York City
• 18:37
  Speaker 11: story about Modest Needs charity that I belonged to, and
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: it was a strictly New York City based charity and
• 18:47
  Speaker 11: the founder of it, doctor Keith Taylor, apparently took all
• 18:51
  Speaker 11: of our money and misused it and stole it over
• 18:54
  Speaker 11: all these years of giving it, have you ever heard
• 18:57
  Speaker 11: of the Modest Needs?
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: You got a letter and this was alleged by the
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: US attorney.
• 19:03
  Speaker 11: Oh, they were it's a criminal case. They found him guilty.
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: Apparently they are looking for I guess I don't know
• 19:09
  Speaker 11: if they're looking for impact statements. But I'm a victim,
• 19:12
  Speaker 11: so they have to notify me that he was I
• 19:14
  Speaker 11: guess cutting a deal or whatever.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: But it's huge, like it might be very careful when
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: you give money to a charity. A lot of them
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: are not legitimate.
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: I know that it was such a good charity I thought,
• 19:24
  Speaker 11: and it was only.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: You got to really check them out. You got to
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: go to it. There's all kinds of places you can
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: check out a charity.
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: Have you never really heard of Modest Needs? It was
• 19:32
  Speaker 11: based only in New York City. Gosh, but you know everything, Mark,
• 19:37
  Speaker 11: don't get.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Money o charity unless you really thoroughly check it out.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I'm on the board of the Police Athletic League, the
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: New York City one, not the other ones. New York
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: City one one of the finest charities. You can be
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: sure all the money goes the right place. Salvation Army
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: is one of the great charities. Very good. There's a
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: lot of good ones. Don't give to those bad ones.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Paul in Beth Page. Paul, how you doing.
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark.
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: I was listening to the radio.
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: Guys had a little skit about some council person or
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: someone who works with the New York City Council got
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: arrested out in Long Island for by ice.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: You know anything there about that.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Well, I know there was somebody arrested by ice in
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Long Island and they're saying that the Democrats are saying
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: this person has absolutely no criminal anything. There's no reason
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: for him to be maybe here illegal, but no reason
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: to arrest him. And then Tom Holman is saying they
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: did have a former arrest, a prior arrest for the guy.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: But we'll wait and see. I usually find if you
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: trust Tom Holman, you'll come out. Okay, let's go to
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: John and Norwalk. John, how you doing very well?
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: Thank you?
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: Mark? And there's a you know, we really miss sharing
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: Michael Goodwin. Halty comes back soon.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we hope to get him back soon.
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: He's just not yeah, feeling this is sort of silly.
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: But why don't they just hold a plebisite in Minnesota
• 20:56
  Speaker 10: and let tampalm Tim decide whether they wanted hitting federal
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: or not.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: What do you want to hold in Minnesota?
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: A pleb site to vote?
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, you can't just save vote, he said, plebis site.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Now I got to go get a dictionary. We all
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: got to look this up to see what the hell up? Plever?
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: What the hell is a clever site? I can't just
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: say a vote.
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: Well, I'm trying to be cool.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's the let's just say vote, although
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: I could, so you could do that. I could try
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: that out on people. I just say I'm looking to
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: have a pleba site, and then everybody looks at you
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: like you're either very smart or your nuts a plever site. Anyway,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: thanks for Colin. Let's go to David in New Jersey. David,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: Hey, good morning Mark.
• 21:37
  Speaker 12: I have a solution for the nurses shike.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: I'm saying that the cost of living so high in
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: New York they need more pay. I think that everyone
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: should just take a break for six months, and Mamdanie's
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: going to bring all the.
• 21:50
  Speaker 12: Cost of living down. Everyone's gonna be saving two three
• 21:52
  Speaker 12: thousand dollars a month.
• 21:53
  Speaker 13: Problem solved.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Well, actually, uh, President Trump is bringing the cost of
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: living down. The big beautiful bill Fine kicks in this month,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: and you'll start to see more money in your paycheck list. Taxes,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: nurses strikes a big deal. It's a lot. It's fifteen
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: thousand people out on strike, and mom Donnie out there
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: on the picket line with him. I don't know, it's
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: one thing to support them. I don't know if you're
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: supposed to be out there picketing with him, Mom Donnie
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: on the picket line.
• 22:19
  Speaker 14: These executives are not having difficulty making ends meet, but
• 22:22
  Speaker 14: for too many.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: You'll get into it in the next hour. He's yelling
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: and screaming about the hospital executives and how much money
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: they make. Anyway, we'll get to that coming up. But
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: when coming up next we'll talk to Bill O'Reilly. Lots
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: of discuss with him in just a moment on seven
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: to ten WOR.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Give wr Obre said on the iHeartRadio app to hear
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Mark Simone and all the WOR hosts in an instance.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simone show on woor.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Well, Bill O'Reilly, the number one TV anchor for decades
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: in the number one best selling nonfiction author on Earth.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Just get his latest book, Confronting Evil. It's excellent. Also,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: you can get the TV show, the column everything at
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: billoreilly dot com and make sure he watch his YouTube channel.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: A lot of great stuff there, Bill O'Reilly, How you doing?
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: You know I'm hanging top very busy because every day
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: is another major story, right.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's just getting you know, I understood the
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Democrats getting so crazy they want to defund the police,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the idea that now they want to just run them
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: over with their car, and where is this all going
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: to end?
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: I wrote a column on Bill O'Reilly dot com called
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: Rebellion and it's way beyond descent or protests. Now, so
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: you got ten states in the Union that basically are
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: saying we're not going to obey federal law, not going
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: to do it. And now it's up to the Trump
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: administration to confront those states. So last time has happened
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: in this kind of a vivid way, it was eighteen
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: thirty three. Simon, you were just a baby, all right.
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: Eighteen thirty three, South Carolina said to President Andrew Jackson,
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: we're not going to obey the tariffs that you've imposed
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: on Great Britain. So when they ships sail into Charleston,
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: we're not charging them any money to unload their gear
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: because that raised this price for people in South Carolina.
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: So blank you, Andrew Jackson, Okay, this is exactly the
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: same thing. It's happening right now. And then Jackson started
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: around and said, Okay, if you don't obey it, we're
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: gonna have federal government's gonna march in and take this
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: state over. There's not gonna be anymore South Carolina. It's
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: gonna be Washington, d C. South. So they quickly came
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: to an arrangement. Now, maybe one out of ten million
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: Americans know that, but this has happened before, and right
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: now President Trump has a decision to make it looks
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: like he's just going to ignore people in Minnesota, Oregon, California.
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: He's going to ignore them and do exactly what he
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: wants to do.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but this, you know, we had a generation that
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: came out of colleges and schools, all indoctrinated, crazy left wing.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: But now looks we've got the most spoiled people in
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: the world that think they can do anything to law enforce.
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: That is absolutely a correct statement. Simone just made. These
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: people on both the far left and the far right.
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: The difference is the far right doesn't have any organizational power.
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: So you've got krups, you know, running around with the
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: Nazi armbands in the middle of Idaho wherever they are,
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: but they're all have any way to affect our society.
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: The far left es is very well organized and funded.
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: And these groups that you see protesting almost every single
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: time I've been organized through social media. People are told
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: to go to a certain place, the handed signs that
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: are preprinted, pre made, and they're told to do And
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: that's what happened in Minnesota. This woman who was killed,
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: Miss Good, she was in that crew in getting directions
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: on how to disrupt ice investigations, and foolishly she went
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: out there and tried to do just that with her vehicle.
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: There wasn't some woman who just came out and said, Oh,
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: I don't like this immigration crackdown and I'm going to
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: do this on my own. That was not that. That
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: is a very well organized play. And New York City
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: has got probably the most sophisticated far left messaging system
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: in the world because this city, they are a lot
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: of communists and socialists and anarchists here, a lot of them.
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: And that's why Mandanni is mayor.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but where's this end? It just seems to escalate.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: It used to be defund the police, now to run
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: them over. What's next? Where's this going?
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: Well, it's not going to go anywhere. I think it'll
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: be intensified because the Justice Department has to understand that
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: when you're in a confrontation where life and death might occur,
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: then you have to de escalate if you can. And
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: in Minnesota, and this is every police department, including NYPD,
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: has this in their manual that if its life or
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: death and there's another way out for the police, for
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: the authorities. You've got to explore that way. So let
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: me give you a specific example. The woman was breaking
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: the law. She's committing a felony by blocking ice in Minnesota,
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: and not only that, she was arrogant to boot. And
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: that's why these guys got so upset. Number one, they
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: should not have gotten so upset. They should not have
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: used the F word and screaming. And no, that's how
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: you do it. You don't stand in front of a
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: vehicle because you know that vehicle might come at you.
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: And the agent was standing in front of the vehicle.
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: So whether that's poorly trained or I can't second guess
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: the police, but in a police training situation, they'd be
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: told don't stand in front of the vehicle. And then
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: once you unholster your weapon, that escalates everything. And so
• 28:56
  Speaker 9: you don't do that unless you absolutely have to do it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 9: See what I'm talking about. Yeah, there isn't There isn't
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: a court in the country that would convict this ice ag.
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: I don't believe there's one, even in Minnesota or Oregon,
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: these crazy states, because there is a reasonable doubt. And
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: if you look at the video, when you slow it down,
• 29:18
  Speaker 9: this guy had a split second to make a decision.
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: And I'm sure he felt he was in jeopardy. I'm
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: one hundred percent sure of that. But he did take
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: the weapon out and he stood in front of the truck.
• 29:33
  Speaker 9: And I believe those two should be trained. People should
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: see that, law enforcement people and say, you know, there's
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: another way.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. Alan Dershowitz said, if he had a
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: student who described that as murder, he would flunk him
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: in the class. You would just flunk.
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: That's defamation. And that's what that idiot Steve Kerr, the
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: coach of the Golden State Warriors, said, And he's just
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: an idiot. I mean, this guy sits there with this
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: arrogant look like he come on, Steve, come on debate me.
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: How long does it think that Steve would last one
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: on one with me some more? How long?
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: That's okay?
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: So when you're a committent, when you're accusing somebody a murder,
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: and you know this wasn't a premeditated murder, all right,
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: they wanted to get the woman off the street, but
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: as they should have. But there comes a point where
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: you have to decide what's the best tactic here. We
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: don't want anybody dead. If there's another woman shot dead
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: in this country by Ice agents that's going to turn
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: against the Trump administration. But people will turn don't want that,
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: just like Kent State during Vietnam, the four people shot
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: by the National Guard on the university campus. Americans want
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: is the law enforced. I believe that Trump will prevail
• 31:04
  Speaker 9: on this, that most Americans are behind him because it
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: wouldn't have been elected if they weren't. But there's got
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: to be a methodical way to go about it, not
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: a chaotic way.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But these these states, these cities, these Mandanni's locals
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: mayor fright, they're never going to back down. It's always
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: going to be chaos caused by them.
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: That's true.
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: There's no doubt that the Minnesota people incited that woman
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: to go out on it and block those Ice agents.
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: There's no question. Now Mandanni himself, he's a little shrewder
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: than that. What I'm picking up from him is a
• 31:48
  Speaker 9: lot of behind the scenes stuff that he's not saying
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: to the people. Let me give you a very vivid example.
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: What he wants to do is to drive landlords out
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: of New York City. He wants them to sell their
• 32:06
  Speaker 9: buildings or to walk away from their buildings in some cases.
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: And how he's accomplishing that is to slap so many
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: regulations on landlords they're going to be impossible to make
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: a profit. And then he wants the city to then
• 32:22
  Speaker 9: buy or sees in some areas all the housing. That's
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: what Man Donnie wants, but he will tell you that.
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: But behind the scenes, if you're a landlord, and I
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: know one of my friends owns a lot of buildings,
• 32:40
  Speaker 9: it's almost impossible for these guys to function now in
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: a business sense because there's so many city regulations on it.
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: And what that's going to lead to is slums. Who's
• 32:49
  Speaker 9: going to fix the buildings if you're heating those out
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: or something happens, Who's going to come in and fix them? Landslord?
• 32:55
  Speaker 9: Landlord's not going to do it. Who's going to do it?
• 32:59
  Speaker 9: Man Donnie.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: So that's the kind of stuff that this guy is doing,
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: and that New Yorkers don't even know. They have no
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: idea that this guy wants the city to run pretty
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: much everything. Wants to take out individual capitalism and replace
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: it with what he calls collectivism.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Which is always disaster every time it's tried, and.
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: It has happened. One country in the history of mankind
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: that is prospered under collectivism, not one. Well, these people
• 33:37
  Speaker 9: don't care about that. It's all about power for them.
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: That's what it's about.

  Speaker 14: Mark Simone on seventen WR.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Well, hey Mayor, mom, Donny moved into Gracie Mansion. He's
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: actually there now. I don't know how much moving it took.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't imagine. The guy has a lot
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: of stuff to move. He lived in a little apartment
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: in apartment building in Queens. He wanted to stay there,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: believe it or not, in this apartment building, but there's
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of security around the mayor and they have
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: to stop and question everybody coming in and out of
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: the building. Would just be impossible and too disruptive in
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: a normal, large sized apartment building. So he's moved into
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Gracie Mansion. Here he is yesterday.
• 35:15
  Speaker 13: We are humbled to be the latest tenants of the
• 35:18
  Speaker 13: People's House, Gracie Mansion. This is a remarkable home with
• 35:22
  Speaker 13: a remarkable history of belonging to the people of this
• 35:25
  Speaker 13: incredible city.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a bad place. It's not as spectacular
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: as you think. It's nice. It's very old, very very old.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: You walk in, there's a couple of little rooms, like
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: a living room, a dem There's something I guess it's
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: supposed to be a ballroom. It's not that big. You
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: can put about fifty people in there. You go upstairs,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: there's a big bedroom that's the mayor's bedroom. Then there's
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: a couple of small bedrooms I guess for kids, and
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: not as big as you think. But it's got its
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: own grounds, and it's right on the water, and in
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: the summer it's beautiful out in the lawn there. And
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Mayor Adams lived there, of course, although I think a
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: lot of the nights he was in New Jersey. He
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: has an apartment in New Jersey, you know well, and
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: I'm supposed to know that the girlfriend has the apartment injury,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: but he stayed there a lot of knights before that.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: It was who was before that, Bill de Blasio, he
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: lived there, And remember he built the fence a little
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: higher because apparently he was, let's just say, herbing up
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of herbs there. Didn't want people to see
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: what was going on back there. A lot of the
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: police detail that was around him, admititing myself, so you know,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: they had to get the herb smell out of their clothes.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: A lot of the times they didn't know quite what
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: to do about it. And then before Deblasio, it was
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Mayor Bloomberg who did not live there. First mayor in
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: our lifetime not to live in Gracie Mansion because, as
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: I say, it's not that big inside, and it's very old.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: And Bloomberg has a beautiful house on seventy ninth Street.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: It's actually two big townhouses cut together into one enormous house.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: And he continued to live there. He would go to
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Gracie Mansion for events and for parties, and he did
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: spend a lot of money fixing up Gracy Mansion making
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: it better. Before that, of course, Rudy Giuliani. Rudy lived
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: in Gracy Mansion until the last I think the last
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: couple of years of his term. He was remember the wife.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: I guess he got kicked out of Gracy Mansion. He
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: was living in an apartment with his friends there on
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: fifty seventh and second, while the first lady continued to
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: live in the mansion. But it's a I mean, it's
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: a nice place to live. It's secure, very secure. So
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: now you got protests going on all over the place,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: and you've got Mamdani of course, he loves protesters.
• 38:03
  Speaker 13: That language is wrong and it has no place here
• 38:05
  Speaker 13: in our city, and there is no place for the
• 38:07
  Speaker 13: support for a terrorist organization. And that is something that
• 38:11
  Speaker 13: I will always share with New Yorkers. It is a
• 38:14
  Speaker 13: part of my principles of politics, which is to actually
• 38:17
  Speaker 13: stand up for the humanity of all people.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know what he's talking about, but it
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: sounds good. And he talks very fast about the humanity
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: of all when you say the humanity of all people,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: but that sounds impressive. I know what tality talking about,
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: and of course he hates ICE.
• 38:28
  Speaker 13: My guiding principle is to follow the law and the
• 38:31
  Speaker 13: laws that we have here in New York City, especially
• 38:34
  Speaker 13: our sanctuary city policies. They prohibit coordination with ICE agents,
• 38:38
  Speaker 13: for example, if they want to enter into a city
• 38:40
  Speaker 13: property without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. However,
• 38:43
  Speaker 13: what it does permit is the coordination between city and
• 38:46
  Speaker 13: federal government on around one hundred and seventy crimes if
• 38:50
  Speaker 13: someone has been convicted of that.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now, of course this is all nonsense. ICE is
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: enforcing the law. You can become a sanctuary city where
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: you don't enforce the law. But Lee, it's very very
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: very questionable. You got this big nurses strike. About fifteen
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: thousand nurses are on the strike. And if you're the mayor,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to get in there and try to settle it.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: You're supposed to try to bring both sides together and
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: see if you can work something out. And if you're
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: the mayor, you got a lot of clout with these
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: big hospital executives and maybe you can move them a
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: little or get something. But instead, Mom, Donnie, being the socialist,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: left wing kookova mayor, he's out there on the picket
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: line with the nurses.
• 39:32
  Speaker 14: These executives are not having difficulty making ends meet. But
• 39:35
  Speaker 14: for too many of the fifteen thousand nys, the nurses
• 39:39
  Speaker 14: who are on strike, they are not able to make
• 39:42
  Speaker 14: their ends meet. They are not asking for a multi
• 39:46
  Speaker 14: million dollar salary. What they are asking for is for
• 39:50
  Speaker 14: their pensions to be safeguarded, to be protected in their
• 39:54
  Speaker 14: own workplace, to receive the pay and the health benefits
• 39:58
  Speaker 14: that they deserve.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Oh that's good, we like that, but sometimes salaries do
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: get a little out of control. You know, the whole
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: hospital system is all screwed up. It makes no sense
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: at all. You know, you go to a hospital, if
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: you stayed at a hospital room. You get a bill
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: for like seven thousand a night for a hospital room,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: a dumpy little hospital room with a linoleum floor. You know,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: if you went and stayed in the Ritz Carlton in
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: the presidential suite, it's only two thousand a night. Why
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: would it be five times more in them in a hospital.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: But he really goes after these hospital executives.
• 40:29
  Speaker 14: The CEO and president of Montefiori made more than sixteen
• 40:32
  Speaker 14: million dollars last year. DCEO of New York Presby where
• 40:38
  Speaker 14: we are today made twenty six million dollars last year.
• 40:44
  Speaker 14: But for too many of the fifteen thousand nights and
• 40:47
  Speaker 14: nurses who are on strike, they are not able to
• 40:50
  Speaker 14: make their ends meet. They are not asking for a
• 40:54
  Speaker 14: multimillion dollar salary. What they are asking for is for
• 40:59
  Speaker 14: their pen to be safeguarded, to be protected in their
• 41:03
  Speaker 14: own workplace, to receive the pay and the health benefits
• 41:07
  Speaker 14: that they deserve.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, it sounds good, He's right, But you know,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: why would they pay the hospital executive sixteen million a year.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Why would a hospital executive get twenty million a year? Well, apparently,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: because they can. They can do things that make them
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: worth that they can turn around the finances, they can
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: the fundraise, they can do all kinds of things for
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: a hospital and make it very, very successful. You know,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: we're talking about Jamie Diamond at JP morgan Chase getting
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: seven hundred and seventy million last year. How most of
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: that was his stock options. The stock went way up,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: but he with his leadership, made JP morgan Chase stock
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: the biggest stock of twenty twenty five. It was up
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: like forty percent. It made the company go open value
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: like thirty four billions. So if you could, if you
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: could bring in thirty four billion for a company, it's
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: not outrageous. They would pay US seven hundred and seventy
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: million to do that. So, and you know, you can't
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: just hate the head of the hospital. If you want,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: you can go become the head of the hospital. You
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: can get sixteen millionaire become the head of the hospital.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: It's not you don't have to inherit this, you don't
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: have to be born into it. In fact, who's the
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: head of Northwall He just left. What's his name, Michael Dowling,
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: great guy, he just retired. I remember talking to him
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: once about his background. He came here from Ireland. He
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: was an immigrant, came here with no money. He worked
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: as a longshoreman, and I forget the whole story, but
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: somehow he got into the hospital world and then rose
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: up and became the chairman of Northwell and made a fortune.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: So you can do that too. You know, you can
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: hate these billionaires or you can just become one of them.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: A lot of these guys started a company in a
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: garage with a couple of bucks, and it became Amazon,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: or it became something like that. But Mom, Donnie, you
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: can never explain this to him. He loves to be
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: out there protesting.
• 42:56
  Speaker 13: That language is wrong and has no place here in
• 42:58
  Speaker 13: our city, and there is no place for the support
• 43:00
  Speaker 13: for a terrorist organization.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: I have no idea what he's talking about there. I
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: think we already played that. But Mom, Donnie always yelling
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: and screaming. And now the good news is he may
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: not actually about all the horrible things he wants to do.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: He may not actually get that much done. He's a
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: lot of talk. He's out there with the picket sign,
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: he's out there campaigning, and it's mostly talk. He's put
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: together a massive press office, office and communications, so it
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: might be that it's more of a public relations thing
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: than actually doing anything. So, hey, you mentioned Kathy Hockle's
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: got her State of the State speech coming up, and
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: apparently she's gonna talk a lot about affordability. But I
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: don't know how she does that. When she puts in
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: congestion pricing and makes it more expensive for anybody to
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: drive to work. He might say, well, take mass transit, okay,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: But she just raised the price of the buses. She
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: just raised the price of the subway. So how do
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: you raise the prices of anybody on everybody and then
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: talk about affordability. Hey, you know member MacArthur Park. The
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: song MacArthur Park, Richard Harris Jimmy Webb wrote this great song,
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: one of the best songs ever. MacArthur Park. Well, apparently
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: if you went there right now, you'd find out it's
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: a total disaster. MacArthur Park is just filled with homeless drugs.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: It's an absolute mess. It's disgusting, it's decrepit. MacArthur's Park.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: It needs to be cleaned up at some point. Now
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: San Francisco has a new mayor. You know, San Francisco
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: became a total disaster area, Needles, feces in the street,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: homeless camps, crime, everything. The new mayor is slowly but
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: surely trying to clean that up. Let's see if he does. Meantime,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: billionaires are leaving California like crazy. They want to put
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: in this five percent tax on billionaires. So you've got
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: Peter Teele, huge tech billionaire, leaving. You got Google co
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: founder Larry Page leaving. The other guy, what's his name, Surge,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: whatever his name, is leaving. Some of them going to Texas,
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: some of them going to Nevada, some of them going
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: to Florida just to avoid this in California want to
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: if you're a multi billionaire, they want to put a
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: five percent tax on you. In other words, just take
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: five percent not of your income, but of everything you have,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: all your assets. Just seese five percent of it. It's
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: absolutely crazy, but this is what they're trying to do.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: So a lot of them are leaving right now. They've
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: lost about seven eight billionaires. It's a big deal because
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: a billionaire pays so much tax. If you take ten
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: of these guys and they leave, you're losing like a
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: major chunk of revenue every year. Now California is saying
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: the tax will be retroactive even if you leave. You
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: still owe it, but good luck trying to collect it.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know how they're going to do that. They're
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: not only moving personally. A lot of these guys have corporations,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: lots of corporations. One of these billionaires has like fifteen corporations.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: One that runs his real estate, one that runs his yachts.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: So all these corporations are reregistering out of state. So
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: when you do that, that's a lot of money lost
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: in fees, and all sorts of corporations pay all sorts
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: of taxes on fees, regulations, this sort of stuff. Hey,
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: I mentioned this new Frank Sinatra documentary. It's on Fox Nation.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: It's very, very good, incredible documentary on Frank Sinatra. It's
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: called Sinatra Echoes of an Icon. Not crazy about the title,
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: but it's really good. So I'm talking to friends of
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: President Trump yesterday. They tell me he's been watching it.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: He's watched it several times. He loved Frank Sinatra and
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: he loves this documentary. So if you haven't seen it yet,
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: go to Fox Nation. Look at this documentary. I'm in it.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: A lot of people are in it. Fox Nation it's
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Fox's streaming service. You got to sign up for it.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: But it's really really good. So a Bruce Blakeman I
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: mentioned great inauguration yesterday out in Long Island. I was
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: there for that. It's the Cradle of Aviation museum. This
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: is like it's on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard's very impressive place.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Thousand people there for Bruce Blakeman's second inauguration, powerful speech.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: You got many standing ovations and you're in this big
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: museum more like an enormous museum, and hanging above you
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: are all these planes, valuable planes, you know, from Charles
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Lindbergh to air Force planes. Really impressive place. A lot
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: of famous faces there, a lot of Long Island political figures,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: business figures, and a big dinner afterwards. It was great.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Mia Posto that was the restaurant where it was. Lots
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: of great people. Zach Iridham, King of the Hamptons, was there,
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: Sid Rosenberg, radio star and other people there. If you
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: check my Instagram you'll see a picture of it. Hey,
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: the Clintons were supposed to testify yesterday about Jeffrey Epstein.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Now you know Trump had very little to do with
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein. A million years ago. He knew him briefly
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: and saw what he was all about, and had him
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: thrown out of mar A Lago, had him banned from
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: the club, cut him off, warned everybody to stay away
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: from me. I remember him even warning me a million
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: years ago, stay away from this guy. And he had
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with Epstein. The Clintons were all over
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein. They were regular visitors. They were on planes
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: with him, flying all over the world, doing all kinds
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: of deals and stuff, very close to Jeffrey Epstein. So
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: Congress is investigating James Comers, the chairman. They asked the
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Clintons to appear and answer questions. Clinton's refused. They did
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: not show up for their testimony. That would put them
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: in contempt of Congress. Now remember, if you don't show up,
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: you refuse to show up, and you're in contempt of Congress.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: You can go to prison. It happened to Steve Bannon,
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: it happened to Peter Navarro. Now I don't know what
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: they'll do. Chairman Calmer said he may begin contempt proceedings,
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: contempt of Congress proceedings against the Clintons. This is Congress,
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: not the White House. But you would think with this
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein stuff. If you had nothing to hide, you
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: would want to show up and clear up everything. You
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: would want to clear your name. But refusing to answer
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: any questions, refusing to testify, makes it look all the
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: more suspicious. So this is just beginning with the Clintons
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: and Epstein. It's not going to go well for them. Hey,
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: to two one zero.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Get instant access to Mark by setting a pre set
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: in the iHeartRadio app for his live show and his
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: podcast Nail Back to the Mark Simone Show on Woikay.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: Let's take some calls. Let's go to John in Long Island. John,
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 50:19
  Speaker 12: I'm doing well? Mark, how are you doing today?
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Good?
• 50:22
  Speaker 12: I have a It bothers me to think how much
• 50:26
  Speaker 12: money we waste in congressional hearings and Senate hearings and
• 50:30
  Speaker 12: Supreme Court reviewing things. How come with this women's sports issue?
• 50:36
  Speaker 12: How come they don't just set up a vote, Go
• 50:38
  Speaker 12: to the NCAA, have all the women secure email vote
• 50:41
  Speaker 12: and see how they feel. Rather than having a bunch
• 50:43
  Speaker 12: of geriatrics that are just trying to get votes, trying
• 50:47
  Speaker 12: to make decisions that affect millions of women.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just people playing politics with it. Listen, it's
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: just simple common sense. You don't have guys playing in
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: women's sports. It's absolutely ridiculous. I mean, I was in
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: high school. I played football. I thought I'd be great.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: But you go out there in the field and you
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: may be good, but then all of a sudden, these
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: guys much bigger than you just jump on you and
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: tackle you, and it's tough. If I could have gone
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: down there and played on the against the women, I
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: would have done much better. I would have been Tom Brady.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: I would have crushed them all. But it's ridiculous. It's
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: absolutely ludicrous men playing in women's sports. Let's go to
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Dennis in Connecticut. Dennis, how you doing fine?
• 51:28
  Speaker 15: I'm an old Saturday listener.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: Well whatever that is.
• 51:33
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I have cousins that have graduated from the nursing
• 51:37
  Speaker 15: schools when they were in hospitals, and that when they
• 51:41
  Speaker 15: started making nurses go to college, that's when the shortage happened.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Well, you have to go to college to be a nurse.
• 51:49
  Speaker 16: Now, yes, oh, yes, you have it. Well to get
• 51:53
  Speaker 16: a nursing degree. You have to have a college nursing degree.
• 51:57
  Speaker 16: You don't get traded the hospital anymore. Them for i'd
• 52:01
  Speaker 16: say thirty maybe more years.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, most there's is a pretty good It is
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: a noble occupation. Let's go to Tim and the congres
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: in New York. Tim, how you doing good?
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: Good? How are you? Yeah?
• 52:12
  Speaker 17: I just had a quick question, you know, like say,
• 52:13
  Speaker 17: for example, you don't have a cell phone. This is
• 52:16
  Speaker 17: regarding the entrance to the fair to get into the subway.
• 52:19
  Speaker 17: And I don't go to the I don't go to
• 52:20
  Speaker 17: the city much. I'm an older guy. I don't go
• 52:22
  Speaker 17: to the city much at all anymore. But if you
• 52:24
  Speaker 17: don't have a cell phone, how can you just like
• 52:26
  Speaker 17: pass a credit card or something.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: If you don't have a cell phone? Who on earth
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: would that be?
• 52:31
  Speaker 17: I don't have a cell phone?
• 52:32
  Speaker 7: What?
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 52:34
  Speaker 17: Yeah?
• 52:35
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 52:36
  Speaker 17: I get confused. I don't I'm an older guy. I
• 52:40
  Speaker 17: threw it. I threw it down the stairs.
• 52:42
  Speaker 10: That broke.
• 52:42
  Speaker 17: I got so.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: I know one woman, a friend of mine, one woman
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: who has no cell phone, never has. I don't know why.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: She's just against them.
• 52:50
  Speaker 17: I've had them, but I get so frustrated with them.
• 52:53
  Speaker 17: Because like I can't get it out of airplane mode.
• 52:56
  Speaker 17: I just I threw it down the stairs. It broke.
• 53:00
  Speaker 17: I said, the hell with it.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Get a phone. You could be on Instagram. You could
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: be on TikTok. You can see porn wherever. You want.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: To Get a phone.
• 53:07
  Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go see port anytime I want.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: That might be good for you. Get a phone. You
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: could be on Instagram, you could be on all that stuff.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: You can get all those apps. It's it's good for you.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn.
• 53:19
  Speaker 7: Vincent, how you doing, Yeah to the previous caller. They
• 53:22
  Speaker 7: make now cell phones for seniors where they don't have
• 53:26
  Speaker 7: all the bells and whistles they have. You could call
• 53:29
  Speaker 7: your relatives. They have a phone backed memory and so
• 53:33
  Speaker 7: forth and so forth.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Do you mean, like like an uncle junior a flip phone.
• 53:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but they sell them and you could get text
• 53:40
  Speaker 7: messages on them. There. It's not an iPhone, but you
• 53:44
  Speaker 7: could for emergency purposes if you have to call people
• 53:48
  Speaker 7: in an emergency. Yeah, Mark, what I wanted to talk
• 53:51
  Speaker 7: about is I told Chris yesterday I'm about to listen
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: to Buck and Clay and all of a sudden, I'm
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: smelling though, and I live in a brown stone. I'm
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: smelling weed at my house, and say, what the dollar
• 54:04
  Speaker 7: is going on here? I look out the window and
• 54:07
  Speaker 7: Kathy Hoko and Andrew Cuomo should have thought about this
• 54:13
  Speaker 7: in advance. They have no foresight. On my stoopid in
• 54:17
  Speaker 7: the entrance to my building, there are four teenagers from
• 54:21
  Speaker 7: the local junior high school lighting up these spliffs that
• 54:26
  Speaker 7: would have made Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir of the
• 54:30
  Speaker 7: Grateful Dead proud. They look like cigars. So I go
• 54:34
  Speaker 7: out there and I said, Ahi, guys, get off the
• 54:37
  Speaker 7: stoop and one of the guys looks me and starts
• 54:40
  Speaker 7: bad mounting me mistake. After a couple of choice words
• 54:46
  Speaker 7: and gestures, and little did he know across the street
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: and on the right side of me, about twenty feet
• 54:54
  Speaker 7: away with all my friends. I you know. So after
• 54:58
  Speaker 7: a couple of choice words, these kids left. But now
• 55:03
  Speaker 7: they were on their lunch break. They're gonna go back
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: to school, all stoned out and everything. And now the
• 55:10
  Speaker 7: marijuana that these kids are buying from these pot shops,
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: it's much more potland like soup from South Carolina said,
• 55:19
  Speaker 7: and they're probably like getting their older brother or a
• 55:23
  Speaker 7: cousin or somebody who's about to go in the weed
• 55:27
  Speaker 7: shop and they give them money, and they say, get
• 55:30
  Speaker 7: some for us too. We never figured in this South,
• 55:33
  Speaker 7: these bozos. These are kids fourteen and fifteen years old
• 55:38
  Speaker 7: yesterday out of their birds and giving me lip. And
• 55:41
  Speaker 7: what's the next thing. I gotta go to jail?
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. You know, the nineteen eighties marijuana was
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: totally different from today's weed.
• 55:49
  Speaker 7: It's just like twenty three percent THC.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Some of this weed much much more powerful, Vincent, great call,
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: thanks for calling. Hey. When we come back, the brilliant
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: columnist Liz Peak will be with us next on seven
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: to ten Wry.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: Long Show on seven tenor.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: Well, Liz Peak, the great columnst You can reader columns
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: foxnews dot com. You'll see her all over television. And
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: make sure you go to our website. There's great stories
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: there every day. It's lizpeak dot com. Great news and analysis.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: Go to lizpeak dot com. Lizpeak, how you doing.
• 56:26
  Speaker 18: I'm great? Thank you for having me.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: Hey. So these the democrats, the liberals, the media, they're
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: so furious at President Trump or Venezuela over Iran, over
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: our is one of the reasons they're so mad at
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: him is this foreign adventure seems to be paying off.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: It seems to be working.
• 56:41
  Speaker 19: When you agree, yeah, I mean I think, you know,
• 56:45
  Speaker 19: I think that you could really describe this as a
• 56:48
  Speaker 19: winning streak.
• 56:49
  Speaker 18: Mark.
• 56:50
  Speaker 19: You know, to have Democrats come out mourning the imprisonment
• 56:55
  Speaker 19: of Nikola Maduro is so preposterous and so ridiculous, particularly
• 57:00
  Speaker 19: in light of the fact we have so many clips
• 57:03
  Speaker 19: of Democrats across the spectrum calling for the jailing of
• 57:08
  Speaker 19: Maduro and chastising Donald Trump for not having been more
• 57:11
  Speaker 19: aggressive with the Maduro regime. And then, you know, and
• 57:15
  Speaker 19: of course Joe Biden increasing the bounty on Maduro information
• 57:21
  Speaker 19: leading to the rest of Maduro to twenty five million dollars,
• 57:24
  Speaker 19: and then it happens. I mean, the funniest thing would
• 57:26
  Speaker 19: be it they have to pay Donald Trump for actually
• 57:29
  Speaker 19: paying out, for actually following through and jailing the guy.
• 57:33
  Speaker 19: I mean, it's ridiculous. And Iran, of course a very
• 57:36
  Speaker 19: different situation. Iran, in my view, is a situation where
• 57:41
  Speaker 19: Donald Trump can take a lot of credit for the
• 57:44
  Speaker 19: fact that the Mallahs are in retreat, they're on the defensive,
• 57:48
  Speaker 19: they have obviously now are confronting an enormous uprising of
• 57:53
  Speaker 19: the people of Iran who know that there is freedom
• 57:57
  Speaker 19: around the quarter and they're tired of thereocracy. They're really
• 58:02
  Speaker 19: tired of the Iatolas spending billions of dollars every year
• 58:09
  Speaker 19: funding proxies like Hesbla and Hamas and basically ignoring the
• 58:15
  Speaker 19: needs of their citizens. The economy is in collapse, and
• 58:19
  Speaker 19: you got to say, Donald Trump in his first term
• 58:21
  Speaker 19: put extremely strict sanctions on Iranian oil exports. Exports dropped
• 58:27
  Speaker 19: about half a million barrels a day. Then Biden came
• 58:30
  Speaker 19: in took his foot off the break exports surge.
• 58:33
  Speaker 18: Biden managed to also fund the.
• 58:37
  Speaker 19: Iranian regime with almost ten billion dollars of moneies that
• 58:41
  Speaker 19: had been sequestered an effect from the regime. It's really
• 58:46
  Speaker 19: it was a horrible turnaround on a successful foreign policy
• 58:51
  Speaker 19: that was putting Iran on the defensive. And remember the
• 58:54
  Speaker 19: money that goes to the Iranian the Iranian government does
• 58:58
  Speaker 19: not help the people of Iran. It basically goes to Hesbala,
• 59:03
  Speaker 19: It goes to the UTIs who are attacking navy vessels
• 59:07
  Speaker 19: and commercial shipping. These are bad guys and all of
• 59:11
  Speaker 19: the money that Biden sort of stood by and allowed
• 59:14
  Speaker 19: to flow to Iran. It ended up many in many instances,
• 59:19
  Speaker 19: attacking Americans. So Trump has been steadfast and his resolution
• 59:24
  Speaker 19: to basically stand up against the mullahs bombing their obviously
• 59:31
  Speaker 19: bombing the nuclear facilities was a big.
• 59:34
  Speaker 18: Part of that. Encouraging Israel to.
• 59:39
  Speaker 19: Attack Iran and basically then supporting Israel's defense against.
• 59:43
  Speaker 18: Generating and retaliation.
• 59:45
  Speaker 19: It's a long history and Trump should be pretty proud
• 59:49
  Speaker 19: of having brought us to this point. Will it mean
• 59:52
  Speaker 19: that the iotola flees to Moscow? One can only hope.
• 59:55
  Speaker 19: I have no idea if that's going to happen or not.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: Well, you can be pretty sure in the next weeks,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: maybe months, Yeah, aatola has gone. Iran could go back
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: to what it used to be, a peaceful democracy, of
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: flourishing country. And isn't it usually Iran that stirs up
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: much of the trouble that we have in the Mid East?
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: Can imagine no question.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 19: And by the way, I'll tell you who is sharing,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 19: although they have to do it somewhat surreptitiously. Is the
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 19: golf Arab countries. After we bombed the nuclear facilities, everyone
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 19: they made sort of polite utterances about how this was
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 19: an attack on a sovereign nation, blah blah blah. You
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 19: didn't see any real retaliation or anything from the Golf
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 19: Arab countries because.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 18: They want to do business with the rest of the.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 19: World, and Iran attacks their interests as much as they
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 19: attack American interests.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 18: They don't chant depth to Saudi Arabia.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 19: But you can be you know, you know pretty well
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 19: that that's sort of one step beyond behind the scenes,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 19: and that that rivalry is equally malicious in terms of
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 19: Middle East peace, which you know, we are making progress
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 19: in the Middle East, but Iran is a bad actor
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 19: in the region.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 18: There's just no question about it.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, he used the word preposterous. It's a great
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: way to describe a lot of the left wing movement
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: right now, like thinking it's okay to run over ice officers,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: or even to just drive your car into a motorcative
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: law enforcement and pull sideways and box them in in
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: the street. Who would have the nerve to do that.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 19: I don't understand it, honestly, Mark, I think that the
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 19: left has sort of lost their marbles totally. Imagine, after all,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 19: this is law enforcement. I think It was the Chicago
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 19: PD head who said, look, if you go after law enforcement,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 19: you're asking for trouble. And whether it's an ICE agent
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 19: or an FBI agent or a local cop, you're not
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 19: allowed to do that. They've got guns and you don't.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 19: And the presumption is they have guns because they have authority.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 18: They know. It's so crazy because what is ICE doing.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 19: They are removing from our country people in the country
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 19: illegally who are also criminals. And yes, when they do
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 19: a big sweep sometimes they get criminals, and they also
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 19: pick up people whose only transgression is that they're in
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 19: the country illegally. It wasn't that long ago, Mark that
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 19: Obama and Hillary Clinton and other people were saying, if
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 19: they're here illegally, they've broken the law, they need to
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 19: go home. What happened to that idea that you're either
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 19: legal or illegal.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 18: The Democrats in the.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 19: Last several years, because of Donald Trump, because he has
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 19: been strong on.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 18: This issue, they have now.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 19: Completely eliminated and erased the difference between legal and illegal immigration.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 18: If you think that someone in the country illegally.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 19: Should be deported, you're a racist, you're a Nazi, and
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 19: you don't like immigrants.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 18: None of that is true.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 19: Republicans are pro immigration. Republicans understand that immigrants are important
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 19: for our country. But number one, let's fix our immigration
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 19: system so it actually benefits the United States. Let's make
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 19: make it a merit based system and get rid of
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 19: this horrendous diversity lottery and a lot of the other ELK,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 19: do we lose her?
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: Hello? I think we did. Let's say if we can
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: get Liz peaked back she vanished there, we'll find her.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: But her news site is very good every day lizpeak
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: dot Com. A lot of good stories, a lot of
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: good information there. Do we have her?
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 7: No?
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe the phone just went dead. Now we'll find her. Hey,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: don't forget Buck and Clay coming up at noon today.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: Excellent show every day at noon. And then of course
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: you got Sean Hannity too radio show in the world.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: Then you got Jesse Kelly at six. I love this
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: new show. I was listening to her last night. You
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: got Jimmy Fayala every night at nine. Do we have
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: Liz Peak back? We got her? Liz Peak? How you doing?
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: No?
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: We don't ever All right, little tech, it may not
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: be the phone, it may not be heard. Maybe for
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: some reason the phone's not coming up on the on
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: the air here, technical problems. All right, Well, we're pretty
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: much out of time anyway. But what you should do
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: is go to lizpeak dot com. Her website is very good.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of stories there, every day news analysis
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: and her columns, really good stuff. Go to lizpeak dot com.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: We'll wrap things up in a moment. On seven to
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: ten wor.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: Now more marks alone on seven ten wor.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: Well. You know, if you think I'll move to Florida
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: and I won't have to pay any New York State
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: tax anymore, it's not always that simple.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: Here's a couple that moved to Naples. They bought a
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: million dollar condo there. They joined a country club or
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: two in Naples. They got a phishing hunting license in Naples.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: They moved to Florida. But New York State is coming
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: after them. You know, there's this tax panel that decides
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: if you really left New York. And they're billing this
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: couple sixty thousand dollars because they're saying, well, they kept
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: a country club membership here in New York, and they
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: have a doctor here in New York, and they you know,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: if you have any ties to New York. This tax
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: panel will come after you. Now you could go to
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: court and fight this, but before you know it, you
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: spend sixty thousand legal fees trying to fight this. So
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: it's not that easy to just move to Florida and
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: not pay an a New York tax.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: Actually, even all these zillionaires that move down there, they
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: got a list they pass around to each other of
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: about two hundred things you have to do. You can't
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: just move to Florida, change your legal address by a place.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: All these things you have to do. And if you
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: keep coming back here for anything, to go to a
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: doctor or do something like that, they'll claim you still
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: have time. And it's a pain in the neck. That's
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: why I remember Rush Limbaugh moved to Florida, and he
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: was always a target for these democrats of New York.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: They would always come after him. He got to the
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: point where he just would not set foot in New York. Ever,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: wouldn't set foot in New York. Well, once in a while,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: we needed him to do something for us. He had
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: to come to an event of our something, So he
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: would land in New Jersey, drive into New York, go
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: to the event, for one hour and then rush back
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: to New Jersey, so you'd only be in New York
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: two hours a year or something like that. But it's
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: a it's not that easy to get out of this
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: New York text. Hey we're out of time. You know
• 1:06:35

• 1:06:38
