  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Mark Simone. Welcome to the bonus segment just
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: for you podcast listeners out there. You know, I forgot
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to mention this week. Middle of this week it was
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the fifth anniversary of the death of Rush Limbaugh, of course,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: who we all miss very very much. Even President Trump
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: putting out a great statement about Rush. We miss him.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: There will never be anybody like him. And now I
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: did know this. He said, I'd never met Rush until
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I announced I was running before he ran for president.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Never met Rush, which is hard to do because there
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: was a time where Rush was all over in New
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: York City before leaving for Florida. But he said the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: first time he ran, he said, I'll never forget twenty fifteen.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I got a call and he said, people told me,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: we're all excited. Rush just endorsed you. He said, I'd
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: never met him. He liked my opening speech, he endorsed me,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and it really made a difference in the campaign, made
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a big, big, big difference. Hey, elon Omar, you know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: she's one of those people in Congress that doesn't have
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a dime, totally broke as like a dollar fifty goes
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to Congress and within a year or two is worth
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars, And
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: what did Harry Truman say, Any politician that gets rich
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: in politics is definitely a crook something like that. So
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: it was actually she claims her husband started a hedge fund. Well,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: if you're not a hedge fund person or a hedge
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: fund guy, and you don't have any money and you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: start a hedge fund and suddenly it made a fifty
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: million bus, something is wrong somewhere. And then according to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the paperwork she filed, everything was misleading. And now a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: lot of people in Congress calling for a full investigation
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: because the disclosure forms she filled out were totally totally misleading.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: The information in her financial disclosures, her public statements are
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: totally implausible. There needs to be an investigation. And the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: husband who supposedly is the one who made all this
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: money in the hedge fund is a really suspicious character.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Nobody could figure out exactly this hedgefront. Didn't seem to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: have an office, nobody knew where it was, and then
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: as soon as all this controversy started, he closed it
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: down immediately. But apparently when she took office with her husband,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: they had fifty one thousand dollars one year. This is
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: according to a paperwork she filed with Congress. First year
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: they had fifty one thousand, the next year they had
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: thirty million. They went from fifty one thousand to thirty million.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I think that definitely needs to be investigated. It makes
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: no sense. Hey, you had this terrible mass shooting this
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: week in Rhode Island and it was one of those
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: trans women. And this is another There's been a number
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of these mass shootings where it's a trans shooter. Now,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: there can't be a coincidence. There has to be something
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: going on here with the whole trans process, the crazy
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: medication that they're on. But this was a trans shooter
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and a complete nut. The trans woman or whatever I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: guess it was a woman. The trans woman had gigantic
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: gnat Nazi tattoos, Nazi tattoos, gigantic ones all over the body,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: long history of racist, anti Semitic views. There was a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: hero in this crowd. As the mass shooting started, this
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: guy tackled the shooter. Unbelievable. It was at a high
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: school hockey game. Now, this crazy trans mass shooter killed
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: his wife, his ex wife, adult son, and three others. Now,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you probably didn't hear a lot about this is just
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the point of all this. It's getting no coverage at all. Now.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: You know, if it was a guy with a maga hat,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it'd be front page news day and night. It'd be
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the lead story all day and night. But because it's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: another trans shooter, no coverage of this. It's an amazing story.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Just the hero who tackled the shooter, unbelievable heroes just grabbed,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I went for the gun. I got my hand caught
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and we struggled. As we struggled, additional loaded magazines fell
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: out of the fell from the suspect, and then the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: suspect had a second gun. In the middle of the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: struggle because he had grabbed the gun, the suspect pulled
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: out a second gun and killed himself with it, fired
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: it out himself. Media, it's an amazing story. Media totally
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: completely downplaying the coverage of it. You know. The other
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: thing is AOC goes to that Munich conference last weekend,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: makes an absolute fool out of herself. She's asked the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: simplest foreign policy question, would we defend Taiwan if China invades?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Now there's two answers to that. One is you know. Actually,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the official position of the United States on that is
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: what they call strategic ambiguity. In other words, we don't
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: say one way or another. You kind of say, take
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: both sides because you don't want China to know what
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you'll do. But the other answer is if you don't know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: if you're a complete idiot and you don't know, you say, well,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it's a very complex issue. I've been looking at this
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and I need to study it further. And right now
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I can't say what you say something like that. But
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: instead she starts babbling some crazy word salad, which means
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: she's beyond stupid. She's just incredibly dumb. So President Trump,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: but going after her this week, saying was a career
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: ending performance. In other words, she can't run in twenty
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: twenty eight based on this, It's absolutely impossible. Her answer
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: was so dumb, so rambling, so stupid. There's no way
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: on earth, no way on earth, that she can run
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: for president. So she could try to run for Senate,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: because I don't care how stupid you are, how left
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: wing you are. You can run for things in New
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: York City. Look at Mom, Donnie, look at whoever. You
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: can do it in New York. Hey, you know all
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: these people moving to Florida. It's all you hear. Everybody's leaving,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: everybody's moving to Florida. Well, actually not anymore. Migration to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Florida is down ninety three percent in the last three years.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Miami still pulls in a lot of people, especially high
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: income financial types, but people moving to Florida has dropped dramatically.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Last year, how many people you think moved to Florida
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: from whatever state? How many people moved to Florida last year,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: twenty two thousand, twenty two thousand. Well, the year before
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it was fifty eight thousand, and the year before that
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it was one hundred and eighty three thousand, and before
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that it was three hundred and ten thousand a year.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: So the amount of people moving to Florida is down
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: ninety three percent. Now. Other news Apple News. You know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: if you have your iPhone there there's an Apple News
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: app that brings you all the news. It is the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: most biased, slanted, left wing, totally biased, totally corrupt news site.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And a lot of politicians and you know, the Federal
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Trade Commission and all that want to start going after
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: it because it's totally corrupt. It's supposedly done by AI.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: But the AI is trained only to give you the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: news from the crazy left wing sites. Mainstream mid you know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: moderate sites. Conservative sites are not included. It's only left
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: wing partisan sites. So be very careful of Apple News.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Don't even look at it as the most slanted news
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: app there is. Hey, you know the other thing, And
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I still I don't know why this is. If you
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: have an iPhone, there's a weather app on it. It's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the Apple Weather app. It is the most unreliable, inaccurate
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: weather app I have ever seen. It is always wrong,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: it's never right, and now I've done a little research
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: on it to see why. Apparently there's no weather people
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: involved in it. It's all AI, and the AI scrapes
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: raw data from somewhere and they say, one of the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: reasons it's always wrong, it's often reading the wrong location,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: or it's incorrectly reading the data. If you want to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: get the weather on your phone, the best one is
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: ACU Weather. Acu Weather's an app you can download. Accu
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Weather's like the NFL uses it. NASA uses very very
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: very good ACU weather. Download that also the Weather Channel
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that's pretty good. The Weather Channel app you can download that.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: But that Apple Weather app its the one that comes
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: on your phone, and I know a lot of people think, well,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Apple Weather app, it's got to be it's totally unreliable,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: stay away from it. Now. The problem is both these sites.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: It's AI that's the problem. And AI has been programmed
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: by a bunch of left wing Silicon Valley types and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: it's programmed very very very very left wing, and a
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: lot of politicians now talking about something has to be
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: done about this. It's got to be stopped in the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: early stages of AI. This has got to be cured.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: You know, is certain FCC and Federal Trade Commission standards.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: You got to have some balance, some fairness. But AI
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: is not covered by that. But a lot of politicians
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: looking at how to fix that, make sure that AI
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: isn't just crazy. You know, we've got media right now,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: mainstream media, the networks at New York Times all that
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that's totally slanted left. You don't want AI to be
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: slanted even further to the left. That's not going to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: be good. Oh remember hooters, of course you do. Hey,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: there was one in Manhattan right over there, like a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: block up that way. That's long gone, but long Island
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: just lost the last Hooters they had Farmingdale, Long Island,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the very last Hooters location closed. It's kind of a
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: sad thing, I mean it. I mean the sad part
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: is she went from years ago the Playboy Club that
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: was a very elegant, chic, unbelievable, you know, sophisticated atmosphere,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: great food, big name entertainment. That was a Playboy club
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: out of women wore bunnycote. But that was the sixties.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: That was the Don Draper years. Then that evolved somehow
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: into Hooters, which looks like a truck stop somewhere, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: they called it Hooters because well, you do the math.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: But it's a little outdated now. And the problem is,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I think they once said the Internet kind of killed
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: their business because people used to go to Hooters to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: see some hooters. But apparently with the Internet, you can
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: go see all you want all day and you don't
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: need to go into any Hooters for that. Hey, you
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: know what the big thing in restaurants now is, especially
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: in New York City, Georgian restaurants. Georgian restaurants is expected
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to be the next big trend, Not Atlanta, Georgia, not Georgia,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the state Georgia, which used to be part of Russia,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and it kind of got swallowed up into Russia for
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: so many years. But now that Georgia is independent and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: apparently they've had this great cuisine for years. Georgian cuisine.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: It's built around all sorts of spices and flavor. It's
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a cross between Mediterranean and Middle Eastern for a lot
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of people love it. But a lot of these Georgians
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: are now in New York City, a lot of them
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, and that became like a whole stretch of
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Georgian restaurants in Brooklyn. Now they're opening in Manhattan. Now
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: they're becoming very popular. Are now forty Georgian restaurants around
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: New York City. So keep an eye on this. This
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: is expected to be the next big restaurant trend. He's
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: speaking of eating and when you eat at home. Now,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: maybe when you're a kid, you all sat around the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: dining room table, Well that's kind of over with, you know.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: You remember your father would yell, no television while we're watching,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: while we're eating, no television. Well, now eating is built
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: around first the television and now the phone and more
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and more people the percentage of people that don't eat
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: in a dining room anymore is through the roof. Most
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: people now eat on a couch and they eat while
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: they're on their phone, They eat while they're watching TV.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Eatingly on the couch has become totally normal as a result.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: As a result, you know what's coming back. Remember those
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: TV trays. It was like a little tray you'd set
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: up in front of your chair and eat your TV
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: dinner on the TV. Well, TV trays are coming back
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: better than ever. Designers are working on them like crazy, Target,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: West Elm, all these stories. It's a big thing now,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: these versatile TV trays, as more and more and more
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: people eat on the couch. I mean, you know, be honestly,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I have a dining room table. You know what it's for.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: You throw your mail on there when you come home.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Whatever you got, you throw it on the day. It's
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: a pile of stuff on the dining room table. Nobody's
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: ever sat at it. Nobody ever will. Hey, Amazon, now
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you would think who's doing better than Amazon. They're laying
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: off a lot of people. It just laid off one
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five employees in one building here right
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: up the street in Manhattan, one hundred and sixty nine
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: workers have just been laid off in New York. All together,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: they're laying off six sixteen thousand workers. Now, it's not
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: that Amazon's not doing well, of course, obviously they're but
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: they're streamlining everything so they need less people. And then
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: AI is taken over. You know, when it comes to
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the logistics of delivering and packages and warehouse and AI
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: can do a lot of that. So it's going to
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: be a problem in the next decade or so AI layoffs.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: A lot of jobs are gonna be lost through AI.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: But that happened with the Industrial revolution when the computers
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: came along with digital revolution. It always happens. Takes years
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: to get everybody in their new jobs, but it always
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: corrects itself. Hey, we're out of time. This has been
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the bonus segment. Thanks for listening. You can normally hear
