  Speaker 1: Reconed into Everything New York Mark Simone on seventen.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Wor Well, Well, it's right now. The greatest columnist in America,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin. You can read his column every Sunday every
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Wednesday in the New York Post, and all his columns
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: are up on the New York Post website. Michael Goodwin,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark, Thank you great to have.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: You with us Iran. You've written a couple of columns
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: now about Iran. Tell everybody how you feel about the
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: president's choice here to go to war.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Look, I think it's obviously risky, but I believe it's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: also necessary. Something had to be done about this regime
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: that was threatening America, of course threatening Israel. Threatening as
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: we can see now all of the Arab countries that
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: are our allies in the region are now being here
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: with iranium missiles and rockets. This was the world top
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: trouble maker in the sense of exporting the Islamic Revolution
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: throughout the region around the world, and they killed hundreds
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and hundreds of Americans in the forty seven years there
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: have been in power. So look, this is obviously a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: difficult decision for a president to make, to go to war,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and unfortunately there are American casualties. But I think the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: question becomes is it the right decision? Fundamentally, I believe
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: it's not only right, I believe there's a level of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: righteousness to it because of the evil that this regime
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: has done to the world and of course to ninety
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: million Iranians who are now on the verbs of liberation.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you ever think you see Democrats out in
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the street protesting against killing the Ayatola, a man who
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: kills protesters, they're actually protesting his death. Did you ever
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: think can see that? Well?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's mark. It's a continuation of what we
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: have seen since Trump came down that escalator in twenty fifteen.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Anything he's for, they are reflexively against, even when it
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: makes no sense, even when it goes against their own history.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: But they are just warped by the fear that Donald
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Trump will get something done that will embarrass them and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: their party, and so they have to oppose him at
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: every step.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty funny. So if he pulls this off
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and Iran becomes a much better place, and that probably
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: will calm everything down in the Middle East, that would
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: stop Hesbala all that stuff.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing, you know, Mike. I think another thing
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that's come out of this is that Israel is emerging
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: as America's not only important regional ally. I think it's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: become America's most important ally anywhere. You look at the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: behavior of the so called great powers of Europe sitting
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: there complaining about this, critiquing it, opposing it. What are
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: they doing that they have lagged on the Russian invasion,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: They had to be coaxed into paying more money. I mean,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: they've all just surrendered to the woke culture, and of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: course they're all afraid of their domestic Muslim populations. If
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you cannot be four square against the Uranium regime, what
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: could you? What are you waiting for? What will trip
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you into action? I mean it's really something breathtaking. So
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I think Israel is now America's most important ally.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin, mom Donny's wife all sorts of controversy now
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: that we're twitter things about the October seventh Holocaust pictures
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and she's clicking like on that, How will how does
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: he ever explain this?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think his answer basically that you know, she's
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a private citizen, I think is not sufficient. I mean,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I think he has to answer for himself. Does he
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: feel that way, does he agree with that? I think
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: that's the question that has to be put to him.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And now, of course, we have the other incident from
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: yesterday outside Gracie Mansion, and he has yet, to my understanding,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: he has yet to condemn the people involved. He has
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a blanky condemnation of violence. But this is not ordinary violence.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: This is terrorism inspired violence.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, luckily it looks they're going to charge him federally,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: so he'll go to the US attorney.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: But right, we have to worry about Alvin Bragg.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: But you're right, he hasn't Mark.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I think it does raise another question. Where's Kathy Hoko
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: on this? Right? Where is the other Democratic officier? Where's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer on this? Where? Where are the people who
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: are supposed to keep New York safe? Meanwhile, the Department
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of Homeland Security is closed because of Democrats lost of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the budget.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now you've covered Chuck Schumer for a long time.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: How the hell did he ever end up like this
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: where you think he'd be the first one supporting Israel
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: and it's taking out the eye toll? How did he
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: get so screwed up.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Mike, there's an old say that sometimes
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: party asks too much, and I think Schumor has never
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: really said that. I think he's gone along with his
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: party no matter who is leading it or what it is.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: He's afraid to stand up to the party. You'll stand
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: up to Donald Trump will call him names, he'll threaten
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, but it will comes to you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: AOC or people like that. He quivers so.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Miss you would admire a guy like that, like a
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman, a guy who's not afraid to say just
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: common sense, whatever the right thing is to do. That's
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the position he'll take. And he's you think he's got
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: to do a good shot against Kathy Hockel.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And I think Mark that people crave, you know, sort
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of people who are politicians, who are honest and who
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: are not beholden to an idea onology. Most people are
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: common sense. They want their politicians to be. That's why,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to me, the surprise of the last ten years is
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: John Fetterman, Right, He's the one Democrat in the Senate
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: who says sensible things, even to me if means agreeing
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: with President Trump. But no other Democrat will go where
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Fetterman goes.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like the Bill Clinton of right now. This
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: is a similar to win Clinton emerged among all the
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: left wing wackos and led the party back to the center.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: You think that, yes, exactly, No, I think that's a
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: good point.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Michael Goodwin. Great having you with us. And
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: you can read Michael Goodwin's column every Monday, I mean

• 7:30
  Speaker 2: to you next week.
• 7:31

• 7:36
  Speaker 2: in the next hour. Well, we'll get to Bruce Blackman
• 7:39
