Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan. Here comes the Mark Simone Show
- 0:05Speaker 1: on seven. Hey, hi, yeah, are you getting used to
- 0:11Speaker 1: this nine o'clock start? Uh? You are. We're at nine
- 0:17Speaker 1: o'clock till noon every weekday, nine to noon. A lot
- 0:20Speaker 1: to get to. We'll get to Iran, We'll get to
- 0:24Speaker 1: those data centers. Now, why exactly do they make so
- 0:26Speaker 1: much noise? How much noise do they we'll get to
- 0:29Speaker 1: all of that coming up, and we'll get to the ballroom.
- 0:33Speaker 1: It's back underway. We'll get to crazy Mom Donnie, but
- 0:37Speaker 1: you hear his latest schemes. We'll get to Harry and Meghan.
- 0:40Speaker 1: We'll get to the they've run out of attacks apparently
- 0:46Speaker 1: at MSNBC on Trump. They've just run out of stuff.
- 0:50Speaker 1: So we'll go over what the attack is all day
- 0:52Speaker 1: today from those crazies over there. So, yeah, the ballroom
- 0:57Speaker 1: construction is back underway. You know that a judge had
- 1:01Speaker 1: ordered it halted, but I guess it was the Supreme Court.
- 1:05Speaker 1: It was Justice Roberts himself unhaulted the halt, ruling that
- 1:10Speaker 1: they can continue with the ballroom. Now. The problem is
- 1:13Speaker 1: if for the left, you know, if the city, of
- 1:16Speaker 1: the state of the government is building something. Well, that
- 1:19Speaker 1: ballroom could take five years to build. But this is
- 1:22Speaker 1: one of the great builders in America, a really professional builder.
- 1:25Speaker 1: He can build this thing in five weeks. So as
- 1:28Speaker 1: long as they keep that halt going, construction is going on.
- 1:33Speaker 1: They got something like two hundred and thirty workers working
- 1:35Speaker 1: on this twenty hours a day. Well, remember, you can
- 1:41Speaker 1: work at night there. You can't work at night, you
- 1:44Speaker 1: can't work after five o'clock if you're going to disturb
- 1:47Speaker 1: people who are living there. But the only people living
- 1:50Speaker 1: there the president. Well, actually there's some staff that lives there,
- 1:55Speaker 1: but the president's the only one. It's his house. He
- 1:57Speaker 1: lives there. And this happens to be a president who
- 2:00Speaker 1: loves the sound of construction noise. It's music to his ears.
- 2:05Speaker 1: His life is construction. So they're working about twenty hours
- 2:08Speaker 1: a day. You'll be surprised if this goes to another
- 2:11Speaker 1: court and they try to stop it, how much of
- 2:13Speaker 1: it it'll practically be there by the time they get
- 2:17Speaker 1: another judge to rule on. It's eleven thousand square feet
- 2:19Speaker 1: and underneath will be a massive military complex and situation
- 2:27Speaker 1: room and bunker and all that. The one they currently
- 2:30Speaker 1: have now is it's not adequate. It's very, very very outdated,
- 2:36Speaker 1: and it'll be replaced by this new bunker, this new
- 2:39Speaker 1: situation room, much more advanced, much more secure. And then
- 2:43Speaker 1: the roof of the ballroom will have a drone center
- 2:47Speaker 1: on top where they can launch drones, defensive drones, all
- 2:50Speaker 1: sorts of stuff in case of an attack. President very happy,
- 2:53Speaker 1: loves construction.
- 2:54Speaker 2: I just want to thank the Supreme Court and the
- 2:58Speaker 2: Chief Justice, and we have a ruling that it's proceeded.
- 3:04Speaker 2: When they say proceed, I think that's a good thing.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Yeah, now one of the MSNBC attacks all morning, it'll
- 3:11Speaker 1: be all day to day. The President is bored. He's
- 3:15Speaker 1: so bored. He's not focused anymore. He's just doing construction projects.
- 3:20Speaker 1: This is the line you're going to hear a lot of,
- 3:21Speaker 1: even in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the
- 3:24Speaker 1: Peggy Noonan column. All his time now is construction projects,
- 3:29Speaker 1: which of course is absolutely ridiculous. I got a schedule
- 3:31Speaker 1: for the day right here. There's dozens of meetings, policy meetings,
- 3:36Speaker 1: all sorts of important. Construction is like a half hour
- 3:39Speaker 1: an hour a day at the most. You know that
- 3:43Speaker 1: he held a press conference to show off the new helipad,
- 3:45Speaker 1: the heliport. Look at that, he's just focused on construction.
- 3:49Speaker 1: It was twenty minutes of showing the heliport. Do you
- 3:52Speaker 1: know why they had to build that heliport? First of all,
- 3:56Speaker 1: these helicopters, the marine one military type helicopters, they're getting
- 4:02Speaker 1: hotter and hotter and more powerful. And they're so hot
- 4:06Speaker 1: and powerful that when they land, they burn up the grass.
- 4:09Speaker 1: They just burn it out. So to protect the grass
- 4:12Speaker 1: they got, they're gonna build this heliport. Also, it's a
- 4:14Speaker 1: safer landing on something solid. But I've never noticed this
- 4:18Speaker 1: till the President explained it all these years. When you
- 4:21Speaker 1: see it land on the grass, it's not really landing
- 4:24Speaker 1: on the grass. They put down these steel plates for them,
- 4:28Speaker 1: you know, one for each set of tires. So the
- 4:31Speaker 1: pilot when he lands, you know, when it comes down,
- 4:33Speaker 1: it kind of looks a little shaky, like's moving a
- 4:35Speaker 1: little back and forth. What that is he's trying to
- 4:38Speaker 1: hit those steel pads. They call him tablets, but they're
- 4:42Speaker 1: just big steel pads. And he has to put the
- 4:44Speaker 1: wheels on those steel pads. So as he's coming down,
- 4:47Speaker 1: he's got a maneuver and move around trying to hit
- 4:50Speaker 1: those pads. It's a ridiculous system. And I don't know
- 4:53Speaker 1: why nobody built this helipad before. So now you got
- 4:56Speaker 1: a beautiful heliport, you'll have the ballroom and and doing
- 5:00Speaker 1: this kind of construction. You know, I know, you're not
- 5:04Speaker 1: supposed to do this at the White House. You know,
- 5:06Speaker 1: during Harry Truman's time, the White House started to crumble.
- 5:11Speaker 1: His daughter played the piano, so they had a big,
- 5:13Speaker 1: big piano put up in the residence. And at one
- 5:17Speaker 1: point she's playing and it starts to fall through the
- 5:19Speaker 1: floor of the White House. It starts crashing through the floor.
- 5:22Speaker 1: And then they came up there and they examined the floor.
- 5:25Speaker 1: They realized the building was crumbling. It was like the
- 5:27Speaker 1: original plaster from one hundred years ago. So Truman had
- 5:32Speaker 1: to move out of the White House for three years
- 5:34Speaker 1: while they gutted the entire White House. The entire White
- 5:39Speaker 1: House was gutted. There was nothing but the outer walls,
- 5:41Speaker 1: and then they had to rebuild the whole thing with
- 5:43Speaker 1: modern day steel and all of that. So it's not unusual.
- 5:46Speaker 1: I know, it's hallowed ground. And the President mentioned that
- 5:49Speaker 1: with the ballroom.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Being built on the hallowed grounds of our cherished White House,
- 5:54Speaker 2: which is so vital for national security, will be It's
- 5:58Speaker 2: going to be the greatest of its kind anywhere that's
- 6:01Speaker 2: ever been built.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, as long as you got a guy in
- 6:06Speaker 1: office who happens to be one of the greatest builders
- 6:09Speaker 1: in America and a guy who's built a dozens hundreds
- 6:12Speaker 1: of ballrooms, he owns hotels, clubs, ballrooms everywhere, let him
- 6:16Speaker 1: do it. Well, you have Joe Biden build the ball
- 6:19Speaker 1: I mentioned Biden trying to read blueprints. Imagine Biden picking
- 6:23Speaker 1: out construction materials. So, hey, by the way, Bedminster, you
- 6:28Speaker 1: know that's his golf club in New Jersey, Bedminster, New Jersey.
- 6:32Speaker 1: They're going to get a ballroom. He just got it approved.
- 6:35Speaker 1: New Jersey came through and approved plans for an eleven
- 6:37Speaker 1: thousand square foot ballroom. It's not as big as this
- 6:41Speaker 1: White House one. It's eleven thousand square feet that could
- 6:43Speaker 1: hold up to comfortably a thousand, but you could get
- 6:47Speaker 1: fifteen hundred in there. So they're going to build a big,
- 6:50Speaker 1: huge ballroom now at Bedminster. That means they can do
- 6:52Speaker 1: weddings and they can do all kinds of events now
- 6:56Speaker 1: in exchange for that, and the President does do a
- 7:00Speaker 1: lot of fundraisers there. But for the area, you'll be
- 7:02Speaker 1: able to do all sorts of stuff, their weddings, that
- 7:05Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But they're going to build an additional
- 7:09Speaker 1: parking lot for the ballroom. They're going to expand the
- 7:12Speaker 1: sewer system to support the ballroom, and it should be finished.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Oh I'm not going to start till twenty twenty seven.
- 7:19Speaker 1: But again it's Trump, it's not the government, so it'll
- 7:21Speaker 1: be built in a few months, not ten years like
- 7:24Speaker 1: the government would take. So hey, Iran. Now, the New
- 7:29Speaker 1: York Post can be very critical of Donald Trump. They're
- 7:32Speaker 1: not the biggest Trump boosters. I mean, when he's right,
- 7:34Speaker 1: they'll say it. When he's wrong, they'll say it. So
- 7:36Speaker 1: they're pretty fair at the New York Post, big editorial
- 7:39Speaker 1: today that the President is winning the war. He is winning,
- 7:45Speaker 1: And they make the case because all of the intelligence
- 7:47Speaker 1: from the US from Israel showing that Iran is like
- 7:52Speaker 1: two seconds from total collapse. The economic damage the straight
- 7:57Speaker 1: Horn moose is closed only to them, it's open for
- 7:59Speaker 1: US close to them. So they've had no oil sales,
- 8:03Speaker 1: losing like four hundred and fifty million a day. The
- 8:06Speaker 1: country is totally broke. Inflation has hit now, listen to this.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Inflation in Iran has hit nine hundred percent, nine hundred percent.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Oh wait, I'm reading that wrong. Ninety percent ninety percent, Okay,
- 8:21Speaker 1: it's not ninety percent ninety percent, And there's absolutely no
- 8:28Speaker 1: income coming in. People are starving, people are crazy, They're
- 8:31Speaker 1: stealing food whenever they have to. The whole government. Everything's
- 8:35Speaker 1: within a few inches of collapse. I know. You see
- 8:37Speaker 1: the guy on TV, the Iranian Supreme Council leader, and
- 8:40Speaker 1: he's got whole kinds of metals in the uniform. He's
- 8:44Speaker 1: working out of a cave. I mean, it's basically in
- 8:46Speaker 1: a cave running this thing. So just keep it up now.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Scott Bessett, Treasury Secretary, later today will announce a whole
- 8:53Speaker 1: new round of sanctions on Iran. I don't know what
- 8:56Speaker 1: they are. He'll announce him a little later day and
- 8:59Speaker 1: that should be the full blow to Iran. And people
- 9:02Speaker 1: think they're weeks away from collapse. Straight of Hoorn Moose
- 9:04Speaker 1: is open, by the way, It's been open for weeks
- 9:08Speaker 1: and weeks and weeks now now we're getting about two
- 9:11Speaker 1: hundred ships a week through there. The numbers about to hit.
- 9:15Speaker 1: They think they'll have it up to four hundred ships
- 9:17Speaker 1: a week in just two weeks. But we're getting about
- 9:22Speaker 1: nine million barrels a week a day, nine million barrels
- 9:26Speaker 1: a day through the Straight of horn Moose. Normally it's
- 9:28Speaker 1: twenty million barrels, so it's about half what it normally is.
- 9:31Speaker 1: But the southern part of the Straight of hoorn Moose,
- 9:35Speaker 1: they call it the Southern Corridor, that's open. Ships are
- 9:39Speaker 1: coming through there. We're bringing them through there, and then
- 9:41Speaker 1: there's ships in the other corridor which we're sneaking through
- 9:45Speaker 1: there no radar, they shut off the radar and any
- 9:47Speaker 1: detection things and they get through there. So it's pretty good.
- 9:51Speaker 1: That's why the price of oil not spiking. In fact,
- 9:55Speaker 1: it's let me just check. The last time I checked,
- 9:57Speaker 1: it was down a couple bucks. Yea, it's still down
- 10:00Speaker 1: fifty today. So oil is moving through and the amount
- 10:03Speaker 1: of oil is speeding up, so that's good news. Hey,
- 10:07Speaker 1: you know that crazy El Sayad that's running in Michigan,
- 10:11Speaker 1: Mohammad Abdul whatever the hell's name is, Al Sayad. He'll
- 10:14Speaker 1: be on Jesse Waters Show tonight Fox News Channel. This
- 10:19Speaker 1: is very controversial for the crazy socialist el Sayad running
- 10:24Speaker 1: in Michigan. Some Democrats think it's brilliant. To you, it's
- 10:27Speaker 1: brilliant because Fox has, like, you know, the heartland of America, Michigan.
- 10:32Speaker 1: They're watching the working class they're watching, and thinks he
- 10:35Speaker 1: can win them over. But it's not just Jesse Waters. Obviously,
- 10:39Speaker 1: there's a whole team at Fox putting together the things
- 10:42Speaker 1: to hit him with, questions to hit him with, things
- 10:45Speaker 1: to trap him with. So it may look bad for him.
- 10:48Speaker 1: On the other hand, it's Fox. If they really beat
- 10:51Speaker 1: him up, that'll help them with Democrats. So el Now
- 10:55Speaker 1: el Sad's got another problem. Chuck Schumer doubled down and
- 10:59Speaker 1: endorsed to him again. Now the coward Schumer course waited
- 11:03Speaker 1: to make sure that Elsa had had the nomination, then
- 11:06Speaker 1: he endorsed him. But he just endorsed him again. This
- 11:09Speaker 1: is very bad news because remember, everybody Schumer is endorsed loses.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Everybody Schumer endorses always loses. So Schumer just endorsed this guy.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Not good for him. You remember there was a debate
- 11:25Speaker 1: last week. Lindsey Graham's sister Darlene Graham is running and
- 11:29Speaker 1: it was pretty embarrassing. They asked her a foreign policy
- 11:32Speaker 1: question about Taiwan, and she said, wow, you know, I
- 11:36Speaker 1: don't really I have to be honest, I don't know
- 11:39Speaker 1: much about foreign policy, national security. It's not something I
- 11:42Speaker 1: know much about. And it was a pretty embarrassing answer,
- 11:47Speaker 1: although some are saying it might have been you know, dumb,
- 11:52Speaker 1: like a fox like maybe she was just letting everybody
- 11:55Speaker 1: know she's a very real person. She's not a professional politician.
- 12:00Speaker 1: She's very honest. I mean, you never see anybody, no
- 12:04Speaker 1: politicians have been that honest in the debate. So you
- 12:07Speaker 1: could argue that, but I don't know, look kind of bad.
- 12:09Speaker 1: President Trump, who's back in her was asked about it.
- 12:12Speaker 2: She's a very smart and she was being honest. I mean,
- 12:16Speaker 2: she's into the price of groceries, the price of food,
- 12:19Speaker 2: the price of beef, and it's not it hasn't been
- 12:23Speaker 2: her thing. But she's surrounded by very good people.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so you could argue with all right, But
- 12:29Speaker 1: on the other hand, if you've decided you're going to
- 12:32Speaker 1: run for Senate and then you're going into a debate
- 12:35Speaker 1: in a week or two, wouldn't you study up on
- 12:38Speaker 1: everything when you get briefed on everything. So what I mean,
- 12:42Speaker 1: she's being honest, but it makes you sound very lazy.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Any candidate going into a race and then going into
- 12:47Speaker 1: a debate sits down with the whole team and gets
- 12:50Speaker 1: briefed on every issue, So that part doesn't make sense.
- 12:53Speaker 2: I mean, she's gonna do what the military wants and
- 12:56Speaker 2: really what the president wants. She understands it. You're secured,
- 13:00Speaker 2: is I think?
- 13:02Speaker 1: Yeah? All right? So hey, we'll get to those data
- 13:05Speaker 1: centers coming up exactly why are they so noisy? How
- 13:09Speaker 1: noisy are they? We'll get to that. You know who
- 13:11Speaker 1: passed away, Shelley Faberat is that ring a bell? Well,
- 13:17Speaker 1: if you're really old, you're oh, the Donna Reed Show.
- 13:19Speaker 1: She was on the Donna Reed Show. But if you're younger,
- 13:22Speaker 1: well you remember her from Coach. She was on Coach
- 13:25Speaker 1: for years. She was eighty two. She had one big
- 13:27Speaker 1: hit record. It was a great record. Remember all right,
- 13:30Speaker 1: you had to be there. It was good at the time.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Johnny Age was one of the most famous oldies. But
- 13:36Speaker 1: she passed away at the age of eighty two. See,
- 13:39Speaker 1: she was very lucky. She's a big child star. You know,
- 13:41Speaker 1: there were all these child stars fifties and sixties. You know,
- 13:44Speaker 1: you remember them all, like a Beaver and Wally and
- 13:49Speaker 1: all these guys. And then that was it. The career
- 13:53Speaker 1: was over. My three sons and that was it. It
- 13:55Speaker 1: was over. But then she came back on coach eighty.
- 14:00Speaker 1: He's in nineties. She became a star all over again.
- 14:02Speaker 1: So a whole new generation knew her. Now, all those
- 14:06Speaker 1: other child stars fifties and sixties, they were never able
- 14:09Speaker 1: to do it. They never came back. They never got
- 14:11Speaker 1: into a sitcom in the eighties and nineties and had
- 14:14Speaker 1: a second life, second career, so very unusual, but she
- 14:17Speaker 1: did it. She pulled it off, and very good for her. Hey,
- 14:21Speaker 1: you know about this Nick Shirley. He's the brilliant young journalist.
- 14:25Speaker 1: He's just a kid really with a camera. Sometimes it's
- 14:29Speaker 1: just his iPhone and he goes around and he exposes
- 14:32Speaker 1: all this Medicare fraud. He's the one who went to
- 14:35Speaker 1: Minnesota and found like a hundred billion in Medicare fraud.
- 14:38Speaker 1: You know, these Medicare Medicaid centers where they're getting a
- 14:42Speaker 1: reimbursement for treating all the Medicaid patients. They're getting ten
- 14:45Speaker 1: million back for treating hundreds and hundreds of patients. Well,
- 14:49Speaker 1: he would go there and find out it's a closed storefront,
- 14:54Speaker 1: it's an empty storefront. Nobody's getting treated. It's all fraud.
- 14:58Speaker 1: So he exposed dozens and dozens in Minnesota. Now some
- 15:03Speaker 1: of them had somebody in there and they were open,
- 15:06Speaker 1: pretending to be helping, but there were no patients. Then
- 15:09Speaker 1: those daycare centers that were getting government reimbursement, he would
- 15:13Speaker 1: show up there with the camera and somebody at the desk,
- 15:17Speaker 1: you know, some illegal work in the desk, and he'd
- 15:20Speaker 1: fight with them and they'd show that there were no kids.
- 15:22Speaker 2: It was a.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Daycare center getting millions in reimbursement. They never had any
- 15:26Speaker 1: kids in it. So he was exposing everything. Then he
- 15:29Speaker 1: went out to California and he started doing it there.
- 15:32Speaker 1: By the way, sixty minutes if that was still a
- 15:34Speaker 1: legitimate show as soon as they got into this, they
- 15:37Speaker 1: would have sent professional investigators and camera crews by the dozens.
- 15:42Speaker 1: In the good old days of sixty minutes, Mike Wallace
- 15:44Speaker 1: would have been right there. This is what sixty minutes
- 15:46Speaker 1: is supposed to do. But it went totally corrupt over
- 15:49Speaker 1: the years, and they see a huge story like this
- 15:52Speaker 1: and they ignore it. They own no coverage. But Nick
- 15:57Speaker 1: Shirley's in California exposing millions, it's hundreds of millions in
- 16:01Speaker 1: this Medicaid daycare for it. So what are they done
- 16:04Speaker 1: in California about it? Well, over the weekend last week,
- 16:10Speaker 1: they passed a Stop Nick Shirley Act. They passed a
- 16:15Speaker 1: law against him and what he's doing now they'll claim,
- 16:20Speaker 1: and they are claiming, Well, it's really about privacy. It's
- 16:22Speaker 1: to protect the people from being photographed and docked. And
- 16:26Speaker 1: it's a Stop Nick Shirley Act. They've the legislature passed
- 16:31Speaker 1: a law yesterday Governor Newsom signed it into law. It's
- 16:36Speaker 1: a law against what Nick Shirley does. You cannot show
- 16:39Speaker 1: up with a camera and try to expose fake daycare centers.
- 16:42Speaker 1: Can you believe California is going to get away with this?
- 16:46Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the President's going to have
- 16:48Speaker 1: to jump in on this and do something about this.
- 16:50Speaker 1: So well, you know, you could stop Nick Shirley and
- 16:54Speaker 1: make a law against him and arrest him or whatever
- 16:56Speaker 1: you want to do. But the president can also cut
- 16:58Speaker 1: off all federal funds for those places. And I have
- 17:02Speaker 1: a feeling that's going to come to a head. He's
- 17:03Speaker 1: going to stop all federal funding until they rescind that law. Hey,
- 17:07Speaker 1: we'll get to the data centers. We'll get to the
- 17:10Speaker 1: real you know, nobody ever explains you why do they
- 17:12Speaker 1: make so much noise? How much noise do they make,
- 17:14Speaker 1: what kind of noise. We'll get to all of that
- 17:17Speaker 1: coming up. It's Mark Simon nine to noon now every day,
- 17:20Speaker 1: nine to noon here on seven ten wor
