  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Mark Simone here. Welcome to the bonus segment
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: for all of you podcast listeners out there. So the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: shutdown is over. It was the longest one in history.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: What was accomplished by all of this, I don't know.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. Nobody does. Now. A lot of
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: people think it was the Democrats just trying to sabotage
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the Trump economy, but it caused you know, we're supposed
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to screw up the Republicans, it actually screwed up the Democrats.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: They did themselves more damage because they end this shutdown
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: with just total division and civil war going on within
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the party. They've actually ended up. The shutdown is over,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and now they got like a circular firing squad going
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: on in the Democratic Party there and Schumer and the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: old guard getting attacked by the new crazy woke left
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and everywhere. Schumer and all these people are getting attacked
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: like crazy by you know, the high IQ shows, the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: PBS News, the MSNBC crowd, but even the low IQ shows,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: like The View going after them like crazy. And sometimes
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: it's those low IQ shows that are the better barometer,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: because if even they figured it out, means it's pretty bad.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: But Democrats. You know, the party's just been just slipping
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: over the last twenty thirty years. Remember they were liberals
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and then after a few defeats, they became progressives. They're
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: not liberals anymore. They were now progressives. Like that's better.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: But there were progressives for many years. Then all of
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a sudden, they weren't progressive, but they were woke, which
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: was even worse. They went. Now they've gone from woke
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to socialist. And who knows what's next with these Democrats
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that just keeps sinking lower and lower and lower. Real
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: purpose of the shutdown most likely was to sabotage Trump's economy,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: just to screw it up, put a big speed bump
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: on the economy as things were getting better, inflation dropping,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: economy picking up. Just look at the stock market setting
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: all time records just in the past week. But just
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: trying to make people feel pain. That's what the Democrats
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: are big and doing in a shutdown, making you feel
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the pain. Republicans, when they do shutdowns and they've done them,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: just do them. They make it as painless as possible.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: But Democrats like to make it painful. Bill Bill Clinton
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: did it. Obama was the king of making it painful. Remember,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in the Obama shutdown, he closed everything. He closed things
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that there were no reason, no reason to close them.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: There were World War Two monuments that don't have any
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: staff of any kind. They're just monuments. He had them
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: taped up and boarded up so nobody could see them. Hey,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: good for Chris Matthews. He's got a new book out
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and because of that, Chris Matthews doing a lot of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: shows on MSNBC. But there's that awful Katie Tour, that
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: left wing coop. Oops. Wait a minute, Wait a minute,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, we're getting a call right in the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: middle of this. But the left wing Katie Tour who
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: wants lived with Keith Oberman? Do I need to say more?
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Given Chris Matthews a hard time because he's trying to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: tell her. Chris Matthews like another Bill Maher. He's a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Democrat who will be painfully honest with them at times.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And he's telling these Democrats, you're losing people because you're
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a bunch of smug elitists. You lost your appeal to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: working class Americans, and you really are just the terrible
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: elitist when it comes to non college educated young voters
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and there's lots of them. They didn't go to college.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: That's okay, that's fine. Plenty of very successful people didn't
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: go to college. Plus some of our greatest billionaire tech
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: guys college dropouts. But Matthew's telling her right to her face.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You know, the snobbery and the attitude of Democratic politicians.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: It's hurting the party. So now you know there's something
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: else coming, and this is going to be a big thing.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It's not getting the attention it deserves. Every keeps talking
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: about AI the revolution, even President Trump trying to get
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: more AI facilities here and all of that. It's going
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to wipe out jobs obviously. You know AI replaces a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: human worker, and it's been doing it for all kinds
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of things. But people have not really taken a look
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: at how big this wipeout of jobs is going to be.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Some estimate it'll be one hundred million jobs. One hundred
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: million jobs, that's like half the workforce are going to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: be gone over the next decade. Things you don't even
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: think about. Nurses can be replaced by AI. Truck drivers
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: can be replaced by AI. Of course, those truck drivers
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: can terrorize you on the highway, and we don't know
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: if the AI will be programmed to do that, Automation
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and robotics could hit forty percent of registered nurses, forty
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: seven percent of truck drivers, sixty four percent of accountants,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: sixty five percent of teaching assistance, eighty nine percent, almost
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: ninety percent of fast food workers. A lot of people
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: are going to lose their jobs to AI. Now, this
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: happens anytime you have a revolution, industrial revolution, half of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: America lost their job the Internet revolution half of America.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: But it takes a few years. But they eventually find
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: other careers. But it can take a few years for
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the transition. Amazon and Walmart, two of our biggest companies,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: already slash tens of thousands of jobs. Bernie Sanders argue
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that AI is simply being used as a tool. Well,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: this could be the next Democratic fight, Bernie Sanders saying
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: it's a tool to further concentrate wealth, nodding the CEOs
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: who invested billions into automation while announcing mass layoffs. So
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the Democrats will launch a huge campaign against AI. Hey
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: this week, the final penny was manufactured. It's gonna be
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: no more pennies. A copper penny, you know, it costs
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: like three cents to make a penny. They lose money
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: every time they make a penny. So President Trump I
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: decided that's the end. No more pennies. They will stop
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: making them. Effect as we speak, they haven't been made
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: in the last two days. There are no more pennies
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: being made. Now there's still three billion in circulation. They'll
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: be out there for a while, but I don't know.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Most people don't pay cash anymore. Remember years ago that
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you'd be in a supermarket and there was that old
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: lady trying to pay by check and it hold up
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the whole line and it looks so silly paying by
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: check in a supermarket. Well now it's the same thing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: If you pay cash, you're that old lady paying cash.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Everybody just swiping using their phone, even credit cards. It's
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a little outdated, but there'll be no more pennies, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it'll become a point where there's just no more change.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: And then they'll become a point where there's no more dollars.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: You may still need a few, because how do you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: tip people without the actual cash, How do you slip
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: money into the matre D's hand without actual bills? You're
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: gonna need those twenties and hundreds and all of that. Now,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: some health tips. We always like to get the best
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: health tips. Is there something a seasoning that you can
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: use that will boost memory, fight anxiety, even help prevent dementia. Well, actually,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: ancient healers knew about this, but there's some university students
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that have done some testing and apparently there is one
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: rosemary that evergreen shrub herb rosemary. One of the most
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: promising frontiers in rosemary research is the brain. University students
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: found that well, actually it's not just seasoning with it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: You got to take five hundred milligrams of it twice
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: daily for a month. They tested that and it showed
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: better memory, showed less anxiety depression, plus better sleep. So
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: rosemary does more than just sharpen your mind. Very good
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: for you. Well, start sprinkling on your food and then
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: if you like that, take a look at some rosemary
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: capsules at some point. Now, is everybody going to leave
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: New York? I don't know. I don't know, Mom, Donnie.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It doesn't sound good, but we went through this with
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the Blasio. Not everybody. However, here's a restaurant tour Stratus
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: morphing Gen got a lot of big restaurants. He told
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: news reporters that three new establishments that he was going
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to open, including one in Midtown West, won't open. I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: was waiting for the election before signing the lease, and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: now I'm not signing. Here's another restaurant tour nightlife guru
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Richie Romero was about to open a new club in
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the East Village. It will not open. Instead of betting
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: on New York, He's got twelve to fifteen new restaurants coming.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: He'll open them in other markets, Atlanta, Dallas, West, Palm Beach.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: But but yeah, these are restaurant guys. What do they know.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But you talk about the top smartest real estate guys,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the big, big, big real estate super stars. They're still
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: building all over New York. You know over there Park
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Avenue and fifty second Street, there's one hundred story skyscraper
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: going up over there. Not yet there's two buildings, normal
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: buildings there. Now they're coming down. And there's a hundred
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: story building going up. Fifty ninth in Madison. You know
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: where there was a Dwayne Read there in a few things.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Fifty ninth in Madison, picture of that corner. It's a
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: big hole. Now the whole block has been torn down
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: because there's a like a ninety story skyscraper going up there.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I could point all over New York where these things
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: are happening. Now, these guys wouldn't be investing all that
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: money if if they didn't think New York was going
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: to be okay. So it'll be tough for a while. Again,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of the Deblasio people coming back in
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: this administration. But we got through Deblasio. Well we'll get
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: through this. Hey. Which landmark is expected to welcome record
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: crowds this year worldwide. Notre Dame Notre Dame Cathedral, Notre Dame,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the cathedral in Paris. You remember they had a terrible fire,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: it burned down and then it spent a year rebuilding it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: It cost a fortune. But it's going to be the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: most visited tourist place in the coming year. There's talking
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: about over twelve million visitors. In fact, they think it'll
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: go as high as fifteen million. Fifteen million visitors coming
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: this year to see it. You'll be seeing it, of course,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: all over Instagram and everywhere, see every watch that is it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Stephanie Rule, Yes, Stephanie Rule on MSNBC. It's one of
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: those MSNBC hosts. So she's doing a show and she
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: has you know, they all have a panel. It's always
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the host of three people on a panel, and to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: balance the panel, they have a liberal, a very liberal,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and an ultraliberal. And anyway, she's talking to remember, my
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: phone went off a few seconds ago and I shut
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: it off. So it happened to her. She's on the air,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the panel's talking, the phone goes off. Nobody could believe it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: She answered the phone on the air, but if people
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: could hear her, they couldn't believe. She took up answered
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the phone and she said, oh my goodness. She said, son,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of a television show. You're the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: only person I would ever end to the phone for.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have you to call you back. And
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: nobody could believe that. Well, it's her son, it could
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: be Well, if it's a it's a kid. I assume
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: he knows how to text. He could have texted her.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: She could have read it. But on the other hand,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it seems strange. But it's MSNBC. Nobody's watching. It's not
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: like she's on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson with
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: twenty three million viewers. She's on MSNBC with a couple
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand. I guess that's okay. You can you can
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: answer your phone there. Who's going to notice? Now? If
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: if you've ever gotten a speeding ticket, you know you
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: try not to speed after that, but you start to slip,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: but you're careful for a while, then you slip back.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: But if you're one of those people that gets a
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: million speeding tickets and you've been in court a million times, well,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: there's a new device called a speed limiter that could
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: be installed in your car. They're trying it out now.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: They're thinking for a chronic speeder, reckless driver who's been
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: in all kinds of trouble with the law, they will
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: force you to install one of these things in your car,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the speed limitter. If you go over the speed limit
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: will stop your car. It'll just slow it down and
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: then turn off the ignition. I guess it'll put a
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: limit on how fast your car could go. They're talking
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: about putting it on three thousand bad drivers. It costs
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a pop, so they'll have to pay
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the thousand dollars. They've been testing it out. You know,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: you got to make sure the way it stops your
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: car is going to cause an accident in the middle
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: of a of a highway. But you know the other
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: problem if you everybody speeds. Let's be honest, everybody speeds.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I know it says fifty five, you're going sixty four,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: sixty five, seventy. You know, sometimes if you go the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: speed limit fifty five on the highway you can get
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: run over. But you know, nowadays the cars are all
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: digital electronic. You know that key thing you have, it's
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: not a key, whatever that thing is that opens the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: car door, that's got a hard drive in there. It
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: keeps track of everything you've done in your car, every turn,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: every speed. In fact, if cops get a warrant that
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: they can take that thing, it'll show every way you
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: were driving, speed, direction, everything. So at some point this
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: is what you gotta worry about. If the government starts
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: getting the car companies to cooperate on this, they could
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: put in like a little USB portal on that so
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: when a cop pulls you over, he can plug right
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: into it and see what speeds you were going. I
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: hope this doesn't happen, and then nobody will be able
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: to speed nobody will get anywhere. Then hey, we're out
• 13:27
