  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on sevenor well, it's gonna be
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a beautiful day today. Price of oil up, a little,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: stock market down, a little, price of oil up two
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: eighty two dollars a barrel, all right, that's up from
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: it was down around sixty eight to seventy. But it's
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: just like last time, temporary spike. It'll come down. We
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: are bombing the hell out of Iran every night. Now.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Iranians killed two US troops over the weekend. One more.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: That brings it up to three. You'll hear the news
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: media talk about this day and night. Three dead. You know,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: overall in the war, six seven dead. And they'll make
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a big deal out of that. Now. Got to remember
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: during the Biden Afghanistan withdrawal, thirteen US soldiers were killed.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Do you know that during the Obama administration? How many
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: US soldiers you think were killed during the Obama administration
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: twenty three hundred, three hundred, no mention by the media.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Not a big deal to them. So but Iran not
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: only that, but the warning people they stay away from
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: US bases. They're making all kinds of threats. Now, Iranian's
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: missile and drone attacks stuck a struck, a nuclear or
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a power and water distillation plant in Kuwait. That's very important.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: These water distillation plants that part of the world key
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: source of drinking water in Kuwait, which is a tiny nation.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: So they did hit that. That was pretty strategic. Iran
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: is telling its own citizens turn off the air conditioner
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to preserve the power grid. I think it's hot here.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Try Iran telling people turn off the AC They blame
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: US strikes for the string. Now, of course they are
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: threatening President Trump like crazy. They even have billboards now
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: threatening Trump that they're going to kill him his family.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: This is pretty serious stuff. Can you imagine why would
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: he even take this job? Now you got Iran threatening you. Now,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: he said, suddenly, like a salmon rushdie. There's a giant
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: poster in the middle of Tehran calling for the death
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of Trump. They're all over the place. Another one, Oh God,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: has headshots of members of the Trump family, including Milania, Avanka,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Don Junior, on top of coffins draped with US flag.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is just awful. They're also threatening well,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: they actually said Trump is the next one after the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: death of regime critic Lindsey Graham. So does that mean
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: they're implying that they had something to do with his death,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: if they somehow caused it or poisoned him or something.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: So crazy Democrats have got to do something about their
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: party being taken over by nutjob socialists. Who's going to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: stand up to them? Well, Fetterman has been pretty good.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: You know, when Mamdani made these ridiculous, silly, childish comments
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: about I'm going to arrest netnya who would just nonsense,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: ridiculous stuff. He can't arrest Netanyahu and there's no such
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: law the internet. He violated international law. There's no such thing.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: And the International Criminal Court in the Hague is just
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a silly little thing. It's not a real court. It's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: not even recognized by the United States. Their leaders are
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: not even allowed in the United States. It's just a joke.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But the one Democrat really stood up to Mamdani was Fatterman.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Give him credit.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: It's such a tough guy to say that kind of thing.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: He has no way to do that. Of course, obviously
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: America is not even part of that corrupt court, and
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: so he's just a clown to even say that.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this International Criminal Court is a left wing kook court.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Follow it was founded by a bunch of mam Donni
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: types to go after America. That's why America doesn't recognize it,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't submit to it, and most major nations don't recognize.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: The i c CS not a real court. But good
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: for Fetterman. And he's the guy taken on the Democrat.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: He's the Democrat trying to wake up his party.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: If our party ever becomes and just make it official
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: as the anti Israel party, you know, that's when I
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: would leave because that's been a moral clarity for me.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just ridiculous. And Bill Maher give Bill Maher
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: credit for standing up to the crazy Democrats. In fact,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: mar in an interview said they've embraced a level of nuttiness,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: of nutty stuff that makes him open to voting. He
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: says for JD Vance in twenty twenty eight, he said
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the party is being taken over. Every day I hear
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: about a new very radical guy. I can't sit and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: just not notice stuff which people seem to want to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: do because it's all about my team, your team. But
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it's some crazy stuff. And when they're cheering for the Intefada,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I'm out, so no, And he says, I'm not living
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: in communist America. I know that the talking point is
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that it's not communism, it's socialism. But when they're talking
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: about taking over key industries, it's communism. There's the definition.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So even Mar standing up to them, good for him.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: But he had a lot of interviews. Well, the reason
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: is he's got the Mark Twain Award. It's a big deal,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the Mark Twain Award for Bill Maher.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: There aren't a lot of awards for comedy, and it's
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: pretty overlooked like in movies. But for what I do,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: it's yes, the award I think to get. And again
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: there's not many for this particular brand of show business.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: So I was very grateful.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they call it the Nobel Prize of Comedy.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Good for Mar. He also good for him. He's doing
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: an in PR interview and he went after NPR, calling
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: it an extreme, far left outlet. And of course the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: NPR host you know, they always whispered, he's NPR hosts.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: They always talk like this, And he said, I think
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you'd be surprised at how diverse we are. I'd be stunned.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if you were diverse. But he really
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: told them off right on NPR. Good and he said,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: start engaging with the argument, stop attacking the Republicans, engage
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: with the argument. Hey. Also he defended Louis c k who,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of course was canceled, And it was pretty disgusting. He was,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you know, would get a woman into his hotel room
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: usually somebody's working with or something, or get him into
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: his office and then he would remove his pants and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: masturbate in front of them. Now, I don't get this
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: fetish at all. I mean, he did it a couple
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: of times. That's why I got canceled. I mean, if
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you're going to do that, you really can do it
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: by yourself. Has he ever heard of porn? I mean,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you don't need to have an actual person in the room.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: And the strange part is he wouldn't just pull down
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: his pants. He would take them off, fold them, drape
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: them over the chair. It's just insane. So I guess
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: he deserved it. I mean, that's disgusting. He deserves to
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: be ostracized. But Bill Maher is arguing, and he has
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a point here. He said he might have done enough
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: show business jail time. He understands canceling him, understands you
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: go to show business jail. But he said like regular jail.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: There's got to be a limit. You know, this is
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: not life in prison for this. He said, this should
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: be like a ten year of punishment. He said, it's
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: been ten years for this guy. That's enough for this
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: kind of crime. You wouldn't get life, you'd get ten
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: years in jail. So he's saying, after a few years,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: let him out of show biz jail. He said, you know,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: he's got a very popular podcast in a popular HBO show,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and he said he brought back people. He brought Kevin
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Spacey back and Woody Allen, and he's invited Louis c
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: k to come to this Mark Twain Awards. So he's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: got a point. I mean, I understand canceling the guy,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't have to be permanent. Just like sending
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: somebody to jail. You could send him for life, you
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: could send him for for two years, five years. So
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: good point. You know. Lindsey Graham, his sister has replaced
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: him in the Senate and now this is the temporary
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: appointment the election elections in November, but the governor points
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: somebody to fill the seat till January. But President Trump
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: surprised everybody, urging Lindsey Graham's sister to run in November.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: He said, there's nobody better. He said, he met with her.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: She came to meet with President Trump, and he asked
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: her for the good of the nation, to run for
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the US Senate in the real election coming up. He said,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I hope she does. This is nobody better. Now she's married,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: she as a family. I don't know what she wants
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to do. I don't know if it's something that she wants.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But he's asking her to run. Pretty interesting. Tom Holman saying, now,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: when it comes to ice agents, the problem is everybody
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: wanted to have body cameras, but you got, you know,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of ice agents. It's a lot of
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: body cameras, and you got to have a little training
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to wear it. So it takes time to get them all,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: every one of them wired up. But what Holman's doing
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: is they work in teams, so he wants at least
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: one person on every team to have the body cam
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: so people can see what happened in these in these incidents, Hey,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: is this sleazy or nut sleezy? President Trump has his
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: own Twitter It's called truth Social. He started it now
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: actually at this point he owns I think fifty three
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: percent of it not all him, but it's his own
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: truth social and he came out with this thing yesterday
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: they had launched or over the weekend. If you're a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: big company or a business or whoever, you're a hedge fund,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: you can pay a monthly fee one hundred thousand a month,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of money. And when President Trump is gonna
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: tweet something, you'll get it early before everybody else. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of times, if he's tweeting something about a
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: business or an industry or something, it can make a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: stock shoot up. That's why a hedge fund would want
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: it early, find out before everybody else, because then they
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: could buy the stock. If he's gonna say something about
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Tesla or something or whatever, you could buy Tesla real fast.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Or if he's gonna say something bad about Tesla, you
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: could sell it real fast. So it sounds like insider trading,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and you'd pay one hundred thousand a month for access
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to this. Now to me, it sounds pretty sleazy, And
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: if you're the president the United States, you shouldn't. It's legal,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I guess, but you shouldn't be doing this. But in
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: his defense, it turns out now he doesn't run the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: company and he only owns fifty three percent of it.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: It turns out I didn't know this that other platforms
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: do this. Twitter has this service, so it's not just
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: some crazy thing he came up with. Apparently other platforms
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: have it. And if you're a hedge fund that if
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you watch the show Billions, you know that's what they're after,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and that's what they'll pay for. Inside info, stuff that
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: doesn't public yet, get information before anybody else, that kind
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: of stuff. And these guys, when it's going to be
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a tweet, you get it ahead of everybody. I don't
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: know what that means. Does it mean five minutes, ten minutes?
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: But hedge funds are equipped to respond in a microsecond,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: so it would still help them. It doesn't sound great,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: but again, other platforms have all been doing it, so
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: if that's what the other platforms do, his certainly has
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: a right to keep up with the rest of the industry.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Amazon is announced they're building a facility in Hoolebrook out
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: in Long Island. You know it sounds good. I'm building
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a facility. This is Amazon boy. When they build a facility,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it's a one billion dollar facility. It's one hundred and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: forty acres. One hundred and forty acres. Now it's going
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to be a huge fulfillment center. They got to build
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: these all over the place. You don't realize what it
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: takes to get these packages to you. You order something
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that's there the next day, it's a fulfillment center. Four
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: million square foot building, four million square feet this building,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the ceilings are seventy five feet high. That's because if
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: you've seen inside these fulfillment centers, they're just and it
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: looks like a Costco, but ten times the size. With
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: these big forkliffs that are all robotic, going up picking
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: up whatever items you order. It's unbelievb it's the most
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: advanced robotics you've ever seen, getting packages off shelves, putting
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: them into orders. This will be a fulfillment center. It'll
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: get your order ready and then it'll be delivered. Trucks
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: will pick it up there. And I listen to this.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: It's not only four million square feet, it's not only
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty acres. This facility will have parking
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: for twenty one hundred vehicles. Twenty one hundred vehicles. That
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: this is the kind of stuff you want because it's
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: great for business. But on the other hand, as I said,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: it's all robotic. Normally you get a facility like that,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: can you imagine the jobs it would create. Well for robots, yes,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of jobs, but twenty one hundred vehicles means
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: drivers at this point. At some point those will be robotic. Hey,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Legionaire's disease, let me just give you the latest. They
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: are now three dead. And let me just point out something.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: When you hear more dead, oh, another death, that's a
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: lagging indicator. That doesn't mean there's a the outbreak is increasing.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: If you get Legionnaire's disease, it's going to be a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: week or two before you die. So if if the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: number spiking now means the spike was a week ago
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: for the disease spreading, it's actually coming down. There's less
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: cases of Legionnaires. As it comes down, the death number
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: will go up, but that's from people that contracted it
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a week ago when it was higher. Hey, we'll take
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: seven ten
