Hour 2: What will Lefties protest without the Middle East · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Hey, So a lot going on. You know, the crazy Democrats,
0:04
Speaker 1: the protesters, the screaming Mom Donnie crowd, all the Democrats,
0:09
Speaker 1: the MSNBC, CNN crowd yelling and screaming demanding a ceasefire
0:14
Speaker 1: in Israel, Gaza demanding a ceasefire that's been going on
0:18
Speaker 1: for a year and a half, demanding a ceasefire. Well
0:21
Speaker 1: now they've got a ceasefire. They're totally silent. Know what
0:26
Speaker 1: the hell to do this? The last thing they wanted
0:28
Speaker 1: was a ceasefire. They were just pretending they wanted it.
0:31
Speaker 1: They they're really upset about this ceasefire and this peace deal.
0:36
Speaker 1: It hurts their campaign to go after Israel. Mom Donnie
0:40
Speaker 1: uses an election issue a lot of these Democratic candidates.
0:43
Speaker 1: It was a big election issue. It kind of lost it.
0:46
Speaker 1: There was probably a lot of the debate prep for
0:48
Speaker 1: Thursday night. Mom Donnie was going to go after Israel,
0:53
Speaker 1: but harder to do it now with the ceasefire and
0:55
Speaker 1: the peace plan in praise place. So it's going to
0:58
Speaker 1: be a problem now. Speaking of protests, just beware this Saturday.
1:03
Speaker 1: They call it the No Kings protest, silliest name No Kings,
1:10
Speaker 1: and it's going to be massive. It's going to be
1:12
Speaker 1: all over the country. It's not in any one place.
1:15
Speaker 1: You know, when they have a big protest and it's
1:17
Speaker 1: downtown around city, all who cares. But this is going
1:21
Speaker 1: to be everywhere in the suburbs and wherever you live.
1:24
Speaker 1: It's going to be near you. If you're in Long Island,
1:26
Speaker 1: if you're in Connecticut, if you're in New Jersey, wherever
1:29
Speaker 1: you are in the country. These protests, there's estimated to
1:32
Speaker 1: be twenty five hundred of them, are going to take place,
1:36
Speaker 1: These no kings protests. Now what are they protesting exactly?
1:40
Speaker 1: What are they calling a king? I guess I don't know.
1:43
Speaker 1: A guy wants to close the border. What else is
1:48
Speaker 1: the I don't know why they call him a king?
1:49
Speaker 1: What is that all about? The crime? Wanting to send
1:52
Speaker 1: troops in to go after it's been done all the time,
1:55
Speaker 1: by the way, a president sending troops National Guard into
2:00
Speaker 1: local areas to do something. The most famous was John F.
2:03
Speaker 1: Kennedy when he had to integrate the South. He had
2:06
Speaker 1: a terrible problem there. The Southern governors from George Wallace
2:10
Speaker 1: to Lester Maddox to Mississippi, Georgia, these kind of places
2:16
Speaker 1: would not allow black students to go to college, and
2:19
Speaker 1: some of these there was the famous governor Lester Matti
2:22
Speaker 1: stood in the doorway with an axe in his hand
2:25
Speaker 1: to stop them. George Wallace, same kind of behavior. So
2:28
Speaker 1: Kennedy sent troops something like seventeen thousand troops into the
2:32
Speaker 1: South to help those kids get into school and to
2:36
Speaker 1: stop those governors. Seventeen thousand military sent in by Kennedy.
2:40
Speaker 1: Now what were the Democrats reaction? Well, he was a hero,
2:43
Speaker 1: he was a Nobel prize, he was a genius for it.
2:46
Speaker 1: He was the most wonderful thing anybody ever did. But
2:49
Speaker 1: it's one of those deals where it's only bad if
2:52
Speaker 1: Trump does it. If anybody else does it, it's great.
2:55
Speaker 1: So now Trump wants to clean up the crime in Chicago,
3:00
Speaker 1: in Portland. This prime has been going on for so
3:02
Speaker 1: long in Chicago. How many years have we been talking
3:05
Speaker 1: about this? It's a killing field. Every week every weekend,
3:09
Speaker 1: forty five people are shot in Chicago. It's out of control.
3:13
Speaker 1: If we have listeners in Chicago, they can tell us
3:16
Speaker 1: you got a couple of nice areas with all sorts
3:19
Speaker 1: of fancy stores and great restaurants and it's beautiful. Then
3:22
Speaker 1: you go a few blocks the other way and you're
3:25
Speaker 1: in a war zone. It's been like that in Washington,
3:27
Speaker 1: d C, Chicago and many of our major cities. So
3:31
Speaker 1: Trump wants to clean up Chicago, do something about the crime.
3:34
Speaker 1: Democrats are furious, furious, and this is the no Kings,
3:41
Speaker 1: no Kings. They're going to stand up to him. Pritzker
3:43
Speaker 1: is going to court. He's going to assume him. Pritzker
3:46
Speaker 1: is going to do it. That's that big fat slab.
3:48
Speaker 1: Ralph Cramton looking governor, and Trump was asked about Pritzker.
3:52
Speaker 2: I think he should beg for help because he's running
3:56
Speaker 2: a bad operation. I mean he's letting people be killed
3:59
Speaker 2: and his city because he doesn't want in Chicago.
4:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's letting people be killed every forty five people.
4:06
Speaker 1: If you were running the place and forty five people
4:08
Speaker 1: were shot last weekend, wouldn't you go crazy trying to
4:11
Speaker 1: stop this from happening. Well it's happened every weekend for years,
4:15
Speaker 1: for decades. They couldn't care less in Chicago. They let
4:18
Speaker 1: it happen. But these Democrats are just going nuts. You know,
4:23
Speaker 1: Bill Maher was a pretty left wing Democrat, but now
4:26
Speaker 1: they're so nuts, they're way to the left of Bill Maher.
4:29
Speaker 1: Bill Maher even defending Trump. You know, Trump has done
4:33
Speaker 1: some great things as president, and just he's only been
4:36
Speaker 1: president like twenty minutes. This is only like six months.
4:39
Speaker 1: Look how much he's gotten done in six months.
4:41
Speaker 3: You cannot ever deny success. You just have to give
4:45
Speaker 3: your respect, even if it's not your thing, have the
4:49
Speaker 3: humility to give it up for enormous success on any level.
4:56
Speaker 3: Trump not my choice, didn't vote for him, but a
5:00
Speaker 3: lot of people did.
5:01
Speaker 4: And he's.
5:04
Speaker 3: I can't deny the success.
5:06
Speaker 5: I can't either.
5:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the president.
5:09
Speaker 1: Now. It looks pretty amazing, this peace agreement in Israel,
5:11
Speaker 1: and it may turn out to be the greatest piece
5:15
Speaker 1: of deal ever and may transform the Middle East. I know,
5:18
Speaker 1: if you're watching Morning Joe, they'll tell you everything that's
5:20
Speaker 1: going to go wrong. If you're watching CNN Morning Joe,
5:24
Speaker 1: New York to the rebuilding, rebuilding is very difficult, and
5:28
Speaker 1: they show you the pictures of Gaza all burned out,
5:31
Speaker 1: all the blown up, bombed out neighbors on the rebuilding
5:34
Speaker 1: is very difficult. Yeah, not forgot like Donald Trump. He
5:36
Speaker 1: does this in his sleep. The guy builds hundred story
5:39
Speaker 1: skyscrapers all over the world. If you've seen these things,
5:43
Speaker 1: he builds these hundred story skyscrapers, the magnificent, gleaming glass,
5:47
Speaker 1: beautiful state of the Earth. Well, I think you can
5:50
Speaker 1: rebuild Gaza. It's not that complicated. And when you got
5:54
Speaker 1: zillions of dollars and you've got a number of nations
5:57
Speaker 1: helping you, so this could be pretty amazing. But these
6:01
Speaker 1: left wing cooks go nuts. Now look at this. Look
6:06
Speaker 1: at this Neil Young. Anybody remember Neil Young? Remember Neil Young?
6:13
Speaker 1: That was like nineteen seventy two Heart of Gold picture
6:17
Speaker 1: Neil Young. He's like that. It looks like a scarecrow.
6:21
Speaker 1: It looks like he did those clothes. It looks like
6:23
Speaker 1: he robbed the scarecrow. He looks like a dusty, musty
6:25
Speaker 1: old Neil Young. Well, he just pulled all of his
6:29
Speaker 1: music off Amazon. He has pulled his music. He is
6:35
Speaker 1: taking it off Amazon now to pull all his music.
6:39
Speaker 1: What's that two songs? Heart of Gold? What else? Harvest Moon?
6:46
Speaker 1: That was pretty good. That's a pretty good song, that
6:48
Speaker 1: Harvest Moon. That's two Cinnamon Girl? What the hell are
6:54
Speaker 1: you talking about? Cinnamon Girl? It was not a big hit.
7:00
Speaker 1: It was a minor, minor miner. Okay, but there's nobody
7:05
Speaker 1: on Amazon looking for Cinnamon Girl by Neil Young. I'd
7:08
Speaker 1: like to get the actual Amazon data. How many people
7:11
Speaker 1: searched for a Cinnamon Girl? Okay, let's say it's three.
7:14
Speaker 1: Let's say it's three. And they're also they're all from
7:17
Speaker 1: like nineteen seventy three. It's a million. When was harvest
7:20
Speaker 1: Moon seventy four or something like that. So he's pulled
7:23
Speaker 1: his music off Amazon. I guarantee you we do not
7:26
Speaker 1: have a nation of twenty six year olds going.
7:28
Speaker 6: Of course, what.
7:30
Speaker 1: Happened to Neil Young. I can't find Neil Young. I
7:32
Speaker 1: don't think they're that worried about it. But this guy
7:34
Speaker 1: is on the warpath. He's seventy nine years old now,
7:37
Speaker 1: and he goes on social media and announces that he's
7:40
Speaker 1: pulled all his music from Amazon. He said because he
7:45
Speaker 1: believes founder Jeff Bezos back's President Trump. You know these
7:51
Speaker 1: guys like Jeff Bezos, he's a good guy, but they're
7:54
Speaker 1: like James Bond Villain's. They don't back anybody. They're their
7:57
Speaker 1: own country. They they they back everybody and anybody. It's
8:02
Speaker 1: whatever's good for that moment. But Neil Young writes, forget Amazon,
8:06
Speaker 1: forget Whole Foods, forget Facebook. He writes in this post.
8:12
Speaker 4: Buy local, buy direct, Well, how are you going to
8:17
Speaker 4: buy direct? Don't you have to go to Amazon to
8:20
Speaker 4: do that? Wait a minute. When you buy on Amazon,
8:24
Speaker 4: you know, most of the time, ninety eight percent of
8:26
Speaker 4: the time, you're not buying anything from Amazon. You're buying
8:28
Speaker 4: from local places. Amazon's just a delivery service. But he's
8:33
Speaker 4: yelling and screaming on social media. Amazon needs you to
8:37
Speaker 4: buy from them. Don't they shut down our government, your income,
8:42
Speaker 4: your safety, your family's health security. Now you might be saying,
8:46
Speaker 4: the hell is he talking about?
8:48
Speaker 6: I don't know.
8:48
Speaker 1: It's Neil Young. I mean, who knows what the hell
8:50
Speaker 1: this guy's smoking. Take America back together, stop buying from
8:54
Speaker 1: the big corporations, support local business, do the right thing.
8:58
Speaker 1: Show who you are now. Eight months ago, eleven months ago,
9:05
Speaker 1: it was Joe Biden. Amazon was just fine with him.
9:08
Speaker 1: Then Facebook was great. You know, whatever Bezos is doing
9:12
Speaker 1: with Trump, he was doing it with Biden. They do
9:13
Speaker 1: it with whatever president is in there. So what happened
9:16
Speaker 1: on social media when he did this, Well, there was
9:18
Speaker 1: huge backlash against Neil Young. All these younger generation people
9:24
Speaker 1: right here's like, I'll look at all these comments. Dude
9:26
Speaker 1: is a kook sad What happened to him? Who's buying
9:31
Speaker 1: his music? Anyway? He's a has been who is doing
9:34
Speaker 1: this just to get attention. Now, that could be some
9:36
Speaker 1: truth to that, could be something like that. He might
9:39
Speaker 1: be pulling his music. Oh he pulled it off Spotify
9:42
Speaker 1: too and now from Amazon. Nobody cares if her mused
9:47
Speaker 1: removes his music. So but anyway, you got to remember
9:50
Speaker 1: Neil Young is like a They're like a burned out
9:53
Speaker 1: old hippie from the late sixties. You know, they hated Nixon,
9:57
Speaker 1: but Nixon was like a humble, quiet guy compared to Trump.
10:00
Speaker 1: So Trump it really drives them crazy. So hey, did
10:04
Speaker 1: you know there's still such a thing as it's called
10:06
Speaker 1: Time Magazine? As anybody, if you're under forty, you don't
10:09
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. Time magazine used to be
10:12
Speaker 1: a big deal many many years ago. In fact, in
10:15
Speaker 1: its day, it was probably the biggest magazine in the country.
10:17
Speaker 1: That it's nothing more important than Time Magazine. To be
10:22
Speaker 1: on the cover, that was a major, major thing. I
10:24
Speaker 1: was on the cover of Time magazine. There was nothing
10:27
Speaker 1: bigger in the media.
10:29
Speaker 4: Now.
10:29
Speaker 1: If you're under forty, you't know what the hell I'm
10:31
Speaker 1: talking about. A magazine. It's like it's like printed, It's
10:34
Speaker 1: like a thing you could hold in your hand. And
10:37
Speaker 1: they had magazines. You'd buy People magazine, you'd buy Time magazine.
10:41
Speaker 1: There was Newsweek magazine. Believe it or not, they still exist.
10:44
Speaker 1: There is actually still something called Newsweek magazine. There's a
10:48
Speaker 1: Time magazine. I don't know what where would you get
10:50
Speaker 1: this Time magazine. I guess it's a website. I guess
10:53
Speaker 1: you could go look at their website. But anyway, they
10:56
Speaker 1: put Donald Trump on the cover because of the Israel
10:58
Speaker 1: peace Agreement, the piece in the Middle East. It was
11:01
Speaker 1: a major historic accomplishment, so he had to put him
11:03
Speaker 1: on the cover. But they went and found the single
11:07
Speaker 1: ugliest picture ever of Donald Trump. It was taken from below.
11:13
Speaker 1: Somebody got the camera under him and shot up, so
11:15
Speaker 1: you see his neck looks wrinkled, his face looks old,
11:19
Speaker 1: and it looks so weird. When you first look at
11:22
Speaker 1: the cover, I'm not just a joke. You'd think it's
11:24
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. It's from an angle below where it looks
11:27
Speaker 1: like he's Joe Biden for a second. I think that
11:29
Speaker 1: was the thinking here. But Trump when after Time Magazine
11:35
Speaker 1: saying that, I mean, and it's obvious they did it deliberately.
11:39
Speaker 1: Obviously did it deliberately. You can see a million pictures
11:42
Speaker 1: of what happened to Middle East. They all look fine.
11:45
Speaker 1: This is the weirdest looking picture, Trump writes on truth
11:48
Speaker 1: Social Time magazine wrote a relatively good story about me,
11:52
Speaker 1: but the picture maybe the worst of all time. Really
11:55
Speaker 1: weird taking pictures from underneath, But this is a super
11:58
Speaker 1: bad picture. Deserves to be called out. Now, this could
12:02
Speaker 1: be a Neil Young move. Maybe there's nobody on earth
12:05
Speaker 1: that knows about this Time magazine anymore. Maybe they did
12:09
Speaker 1: it just maybe just to get some attention, just to
12:12
Speaker 1: get somebody to know that Time magazine actually still exists. Hey,
12:18
Speaker 1: sixty minutes working overtime, trying to convince you that everything
12:22
Speaker 1: with Trump is a disaster. So now sixty minutes trying
12:24
Speaker 1: to convince you there's going to be a stock market crash.
12:27
Speaker 1: Stock market doing great at all time highs. Right now,
12:31
Speaker 1: it's up. Everything's up, the economy is doing great. But
12:35
Speaker 1: they're always trying to convince you it's Trump. There's going
12:37
Speaker 1: to be a crash or recession. So they go to
12:40
Speaker 1: they do a piece on Andrew Ross Sorkin. He's on
12:43
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. You know, he's on CNBC, so you know,
12:47
Speaker 1: if he's on CNBC, this is a far left Trump
12:50
Speaker 1: hating guy. He's written a new book, Reliving nineteen twenty nine.
12:54
Speaker 1: It's about a stock market crash. He's predicting a crash,
12:58
Speaker 1: so naturally sixty minutes can't get him on the fast enough.
13:00
Speaker 1: They do a whole ten to fifteen minute piece on them.
13:04
Speaker 1: But he does make one point though, he said this
13:06
Speaker 1: AI stuff AI is causing a some some think that's
13:12
Speaker 1: the rise in a lot of the stocks. These companies
13:15
Speaker 1: now can use AI and get things done cheaper. It
13:18
Speaker 1: cuts down on how many employees. But he thinks there
13:21
Speaker 1: could be an AI crash coming. But now he argues,
13:26
Speaker 1: you know, they try to tell you the economy so
13:27
Speaker 1: bad under Trump, but he's arguing, it's so great. We
13:29
Speaker 1: could be facing a disaster here. So but the problem
13:34
Speaker 1: with AI, the big problem. Experts are predicting it'll replace
13:38
Speaker 1: a lot of jobs, not just accounting that sort of stuff,
13:42
Speaker 1: but all sorts of jobs, even the lawyers, you know,
13:45
Speaker 1: there's there's websites now where instead of hiring a lawyer,
13:48
Speaker 1: you can just use AI. It'll figure out legally what
13:52
Speaker 1: you should do. I mean, there's amazing uses of AI.
13:55
Speaker 1: So some experts think, you know, whatever you have Industrial revolution,
14:01
Speaker 1: machines come in at whatever things are invented. It puts
14:05
Speaker 1: a lot of people out of work. But they think
14:06
Speaker 1: with AI, this could be the biggest revolution of all
14:08
Speaker 1: and it could I heat to say this. Some think
14:12
Speaker 1: it could put almost one hundred million people out of work.
14:15
Speaker 1: It could be devastating. Now, whenever you have one of
14:18
Speaker 1: these situations like the Industrial Revolution, everybody eventually goes back
14:22
Speaker 1: to work finding something else to do. But that transition
14:25
Speaker 1: can take years, can take five years, ten years. But anyway,
14:29
Speaker 1: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one
14:32
Speaker 1: zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three two
14:35
Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. Hey, we'll take some calls. Eight
14:39
Speaker 1: hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number
14:43
Speaker 1: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Let's go
14:47
Speaker 1: to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you.
14:49
Speaker 7: Doing, Good morning, Mark, Mark, I'm okay. Perhaps you'll remember
14:52
Speaker 7: the first president in modern times, even before Kennedy to
14:57
Speaker 7: use the National Guard with Dwight eyesa and how were
15:00
Speaker 7: to integrate public schools in Little Rock, Kansas because the
15:06
Speaker 7: black kids wanted to attend elementary school there. And Bill
15:10
Speaker 7: Clinton's mentor was the governor of Arkansas at the time,
15:14
Speaker 7: and he was dead set against it. And Eisenhower federalized
15:18
Speaker 7: the state National Guard and said, I said the men,
15:21
Speaker 7: I remember having vivid memories of the National God lining
15:26
Speaker 7: the entrance of the school and God members escorting this
15:31
Speaker 7: young black woman, young black kid into the school. Mark
15:35
Speaker 7: You're so right on the money when you talk about
15:38
Speaker 7: these people like Bondami and his ilk and the Israel
15:43
Speaker 7: hate is. Yesterday in Italy in the City Hall of Milan,
15:50
Speaker 7: outside all of the Palestinians were protesting against the Nan
15:57
Speaker 7: Yahoo President Trump peace plan, And somehow in the gallery
16:02
Speaker 7: inside the city Hall there was planted there a bunch
16:07
Speaker 7: of Palestinian thugs and when the mayors started to address
16:13
Speaker 7: the legislative session, they stood up, they raised Palestinian flags.
16:18
Speaker 7: They ran down the hall from the gallery where the
16:24
Speaker 7: diaces unfurled Palestinian flags, and outside the police had to
16:30
Speaker 7: stop breaking heads and stuff. There there's people who like
16:33
Speaker 7: Bondami you're taking away their game when you do that.
16:38
Speaker 7: And last night I thought I was watching a political
16:42
Speaker 7: comedic version of The Three Tenants with Luciano Pavarotti, Jose Carreras,
16:48
Speaker 7: and Placido Domingo. Instead we had Bernie Sanders. We had
16:54
Speaker 7: Bernie Sanders Mandami and Leticia James was playing the part
16:59
Speaker 7: of Luca Pavaratti. Because she's as fat as who Charlo
17:03
Speaker 7: Pavarotti was.
17:06
Speaker 1: I think she's actually a little bigger Pavarotti was not quite.
17:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, at least Pavaratti I talent. At least he was
17:13
Speaker 7: a phenomenal singer. The only talent she has is she's
17:16
Speaker 7: not even good at it is far for grifting the
17:19
Speaker 7: mortgage companies and everything.
17:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, great call, thanks for calling. Excellent. Yeah,
17:26
Speaker 1: Letsia James screaming, I will not bend good. I don't
17:30
Speaker 1: think anybody wants to see that. Let's go to uh,
17:32
Speaker 1: Maureen Jackson Heights. Maureen, how you doing okay?
17:36
Speaker 8: Mark?
17:37
Speaker 1: What's the matter Maureene? You're so quiet, so gentle, so quiet.
17:42
Speaker 8: Discupt it about it?
17:43
Speaker 1: But you're so quiet. Do you work in the library.
17:46
Speaker 8: You sound like no, I'm retired. Did I have a
17:49
Speaker 8: sick husband that I'm taking. And yesterday when I was
17:55
Speaker 8: watching the president over in Egypt, and and he had
17:59
Speaker 8: some of those world lead is standing behind him, and
18:03
Speaker 8: how proud I was, how very proud to see such
18:07
Speaker 8: a strong, confident, caring president. And I just hope that
18:15
Speaker 8: a lot of other people felt the same way. And
18:18
Speaker 8: he made my day a little bit easier.
18:20
Speaker 1: All right, Well, so you're not marching in the no
18:22

18:27
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Take care. Let's go to Bruce and
18:30
Speaker 1: Long Island. Bruce. How you doing?
18:32
Speaker 7: Yes?
18:32
Speaker 6: Hi?
18:33
Speaker 9: Mark?
18:33
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, so people are sleeping here.
18:37
Speaker 9: I'm an optimistic guy. So Mark, I have a question
18:40
Speaker 9: for you.
18:41
Speaker 1: Yes, what's the question.
18:42
Speaker 9: I read the book Confronting the Presidents, which I thought
18:44
Speaker 9: was a very good absolutely, But at the very end
18:49
Speaker 9: of the book, the gentleman that he co wrote the
18:51
Speaker 9: book with wrote he's praying for Biden's election. Obviously he
18:56
Speaker 9: wrote that before Biden bowed out. So I was just wondering, Mark,
18:59
Speaker 9: this guy's in a telligent guy, explain to me how
19:02
Speaker 9: intelligent people could actually think that? Right?
19:05
Speaker 1: Well, I would if I knew what you're talking. What
19:06
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Why people would vote for Biden?
19:09
Speaker 9: They're confronting the presidents. The gentleman that co wrote the
19:12
Speaker 9: book with.
19:14
Speaker 1: Martin de Gard.
19:15
Speaker 9: At the very end, he wrote he was writing about
19:18
Speaker 9: his thoughts about the presidency, and he wrote, I pray
19:23
Speaker 9: that Biden is reelected.
19:24
Speaker 1: Well, I can't. I can't really say the guy. I
19:26
Speaker 1: haven't seen it. I don't know what you're talking about.
19:27
Speaker 1: I never got to that part of the book. I
19:29
Speaker 1: read the book, but not that.
19:30
Speaker 9: Oh okay, you read the list, and I always wonder
19:33
Speaker 9: how intelligent people could actually be thinking that they would
19:36
Speaker 9: want Biden in the White House.
19:38
Speaker 1: Well, it goes on all the time. It's Trump derangement syndrome.
19:41
Speaker 1: You know, you watch these guys on TV. They're not stupid.
19:43
Speaker 1: I mean, some of these guys are. Jake Tapper is
19:45
Speaker 1: a bright guy. He's just insane. They're just nuts. Laurence o'donald,
19:51
Speaker 1: it's a bright guy, he's just insane when it comes
19:53
Speaker 1: to Trump. They're just when it comes to politics. They
19:56
Speaker 1: fabricated these whole fake narratives and they start to believe them.
19:59
Speaker 1: And you know who we'll ask, We'll ask John Fund.
20:03

21:26
Speaker 1: follow him on Twitter as well, and he's with us now,
21:29
Speaker 1: John Fund, how you doing.
21:33
Speaker 9: Well?
21:34
Speaker 6: Survived the storm, didn't we?
21:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's much better today. So hey, let me just
21:39
Speaker 1: get to elections. We got a mayoral election that's crucial
21:42
Speaker 1: coming up. How secure are these elections you think in
21:45
Speaker 1: New York? The machines, the ballots, how much funny business
21:48
Speaker 1: is still going on?
21:50
Speaker 6: Well? New York, as you know, is a blue city
21:54
Speaker 6: and the rules are blue. And that's why the voters
21:56
Speaker 6: should be blue. About ballid integrity. You know, it was
21:59
Speaker 6: just a few years ago that the Democrat who ran
22:02
Speaker 6: the Board of Elections for Manhattan admitted that there were
22:06
Speaker 6: lots of people who were voting in New York who
22:09
Speaker 6: shouldn't have. There were buses in Chinatown that would come
22:12
Speaker 6: and bring lots of people, and they would vote in
22:15
Speaker 6: one place and then they would go on to the
22:17
Speaker 6: next place. He was fired by Bill de Blasio, who
22:19
Speaker 6: was the mayor at the time. So I don't think
22:22
Speaker 6: the election is secure. However, as it stands right now,
22:27
Speaker 6: doesn't look like it's going to be super close. I
22:31
Speaker 6: think that the real question will be what's the voter
22:34
Speaker 6: integrity situation in New Jersey where I think the election
22:37
Speaker 6: for governor, which is very important, is going to be
22:39
Speaker 6: super tight.
22:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, and who would trust anything in New Jersey if
22:44
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
22:45
Speaker 6: Well, you're right because New Jersey, during the pandemic for COVID,
22:50
Speaker 6: completely loosened its laws. Everybody in the state now gets
22:54
Speaker 6: an absentee ballot in the mail, the voter registration roles
22:58
Speaker 6: having been cleaned in decades. Patterson has a consistent pattern
23:03
Speaker 6: of having, you know, people going to jail for voter fraud.
23:06
Speaker 6: It's not theoretical, it's real. And I worry a lot
23:10
Speaker 6: about New Jersey because I think the Republican candidate is
23:13
Speaker 6: surging and the Democratic candidate is wrapped up in the
23:16
Speaker 6: scandal from her days at the Naval Academy where her
23:19
Speaker 6: espilation you know, she's changing it every day because she
23:22
Speaker 6: originally said I wasn't allowed to graduate with my class
23:27
Speaker 6: because I refuse to rap on fellow cadets, except the
23:30
Speaker 6: Naval Academy's policy is it never punished people who who
23:34
Speaker 6: wouldn't grat So none of it holds up. New Jersey
23:38
Speaker 6: is an economic basket case. Unemployment is high, taxes are
23:43
Speaker 6: through the roof, people are leaving the state. I think
23:47
Speaker 6: if the future of New Jersey is going to be
23:48
Speaker 6: on the line in November.
23:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, So why is it close? Citarelli is a pretty
23:52
Speaker 1: good candidate, She's horrible. Why is it close?
23:56
Speaker 6: Because New Jersey has seen a whole bunch of people
23:58
Speaker 6: moved to Florida and North Carolina and other states. You know,
24:03
Speaker 6: it's the same thing. And why it's is it's so
24:05
Speaker 6: hard to elect a guy like Rudy Giuliani or Michael
24:08
Speaker 6: Bloomberg in New York because the population is not the same.
24:12
Speaker 6: Lots of people have died off or moved and the
24:15
Speaker 6: people coming in are different voters. So I think that's
24:19
Speaker 6: the major reason. And secondly, you know, let's face it,
24:24
Speaker 6: Trump's you know, in the low forties in New Jersey
24:26
Speaker 6: in terms of approval, and the whole political structure, in
24:30
Speaker 6: the media structure in New Jersey. You know how hard
24:32
Speaker 6: it is to break through New Jersey people listen to
24:36
Speaker 6: New York radio. They only have one radio station that
24:39
Speaker 6: you know, broadcasts to the state, so it's hard to
24:41
Speaker 6: get a message out.
24:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, John Fund. Even with New York these like
24:47
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie will talk about the crisis. It's an affordability crisis.
24:50
Speaker 1: We've got this crisis that Chris Well Democrats have run
24:53
Speaker 1: every inch of New York government, city and state for
24:56
Speaker 1: the last fifteen years. So why wouldn't a voter say, well,
24:59
Speaker 1: maybe I should change parties, maybe we should vote for
25:01
Speaker 1: the other side.
25:04
Speaker 6: Well, look, the Republican Party is a horrible brand name.
25:07
Speaker 6: It just does in New York City. And let's face it,
25:10
Speaker 6: Andrew Cuomo is not exactly the apostle of change and reform.
25:15
Speaker 6: We remember, we remember his time as governor of New York.
25:20
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, the joke, the joke is that
25:22
Speaker 6: he killed more people of the nursing homes than he
25:25
Speaker 6: ever than anyone and the other governor in New York.
25:30
Speaker 6: So I have to tell you, I think that the
25:32
Speaker 6: election in New York City is going to be close
25:34
Speaker 6: than people think. But remember, you know, there's no runoff, Mandamie.
25:39
Speaker 6: If he gets you know, one more vote, than Cuomo
25:42
Speaker 6: or Sliwa. He wins.
25:44
Speaker 1: So the debate is Thursday night. Clomo's a pretty weak debater,
25:49
Speaker 1: Mam Donnie's a good debater. Curtis is a great debater. Uh,
25:52
Speaker 1: Cuomo will look weak probably compared to them. And if
25:55
Speaker 1: Curtis lands some real knockout punches, could that turn things around?
26:00
Speaker 6: You know? The question always is who watches debates from
26:04
Speaker 6: start to finish? Very few people. The question is what
26:06
Speaker 6: are going to be the clips from the debate that
26:08
Speaker 6: get played on TV and radio? And unless there is
26:13
Speaker 6: a seminal moment where, you know, Mondami looks like a
26:16
Speaker 6: deer in the headlights of a car, I just don't
26:19
Speaker 6: think that's good. I just don't think the debate is
26:21
Speaker 6: going to be the deciding factor. Yeah, you know, but
26:24
Speaker 6: that doesn't mean people shouldn't vote because there have been upsets.
26:28
Speaker 6: There have been upsets in many races in New York City,
26:31
Speaker 6: and there's always the case where people go into the
26:34
Speaker 6: voting booth and say, do I really want to take
26:36
Speaker 6: a chance on a socialist?
26:39
Speaker 1: Now? The way to defeat mom Donnie is normally you
26:43
Speaker 1: drive his unfavorables way up into the near fifty five
26:46
Speaker 1: sixty and you need the super packs running tons of
26:50
Speaker 1: ads against him. Where were they that we saw none
26:53
Speaker 1: of that in this election.
26:55
Speaker 6: Well, the business community basically decided that they had a
26:58
Speaker 6: choice to make. It could either go all out to
27:00
Speaker 6: defeat him and be on his blacklist should he win,
27:05
Speaker 6: or they could sit down privately behind the scenes, as
27:07
Speaker 6: they've been doing with him the last few weeks, you know,
27:10
Speaker 6: trying to get table crumbs from him and see if
27:14
Speaker 6: they can survive him if he gets elected. The business
27:18
Speaker 6: community in New York City has never been accused of
27:21
Speaker 6: political courage.
27:23
Speaker 1: Well, hey, if he is elected, we did survive eight
27:26
Speaker 1: years of the Blasio, so we'd be pretty pretty good
27:30
Speaker 1: chance of getting through this, right.
27:32
Speaker 6: Well, yes, and no. Look, the good news about Mondammie
27:36
Speaker 6: if he wins, is his powers. They're not nearly here.
27:40
Speaker 6: The state legislature controls the income tax, the MTA is
27:44
Speaker 6: not in his hands. He does have the police department.
27:46
Speaker 6: That's going to be a problem. Crime will go up.
27:48
Speaker 6: He's not going to keep Tish as the commissioner, so
27:51
Speaker 6: they're going to be real problems. But his powers are circumscribed.
27:54
Speaker 6: The real danger mark is this the perception that the
27:58
Speaker 6: city will go downhill, be there, and perceptions can become reality.
28:03
Speaker 6: I think people will start thinking about leaving New York
28:06
Speaker 6: City simply I've been worried about time. Time to think
28:12
Speaker 6: leaving time not to invest a lot of money in
28:15
Speaker 6: a new building project or a new factory, or remember
28:20
Speaker 6: the Amazon thing. That was the real break point. Amazon
28:23
Speaker 6: was basically forced out of Queens by AOC and her allies,
28:27
Speaker 6: including Zoran. He was part of all that and nine
28:31
Speaker 6: thousand jobs. The question is will the perception of New
28:34
Speaker 6: York is an anti business city be heightened? And it will,
28:39
Speaker 6: even though Mondamie can't really do as much as we fear.
28:43
Speaker 1: Hey, John Fund talk about John Fetterman for a moment.
28:45
Speaker 1: The guy looked crazy at first, but he's been the
28:48
Speaker 1: most common since Democrat trying to talk sense in these
28:52
Speaker 1: other Democrats. Will there ever come a point where the
28:54
Speaker 1: Democrat party listens to him, maybe tries to get back
28:57
Speaker 1: towards the center.
29:00
Speaker 6: You've just explained how we can convince Democrats to have
29:04
Speaker 6: common sense. All they have to have is a stroke
29:07
Speaker 6: and some brain you know, problems, and when they wake up,
29:11
Speaker 6: you know, suddenly it all becomes clear to them. The
29:14
Speaker 6: problem is you can't replicate that so easily in other Democrats.
29:18
Speaker 6: I believe Bestman is a one off. He is just
29:22
Speaker 6: a complete individualist. He doesn't follow the party line. He
29:25
Speaker 6: doesn't like people telling him what to do. He's not
29:28
Speaker 6: a Republican. He's not going to switch parties. But he
29:31
Speaker 6: is a reminder to Democrats that they pay a price
29:35
Speaker 6: for marching and lockstep behind the Looke community. And look,
29:40
Speaker 6: Fetterman is popular in Pennsylvania. He just has He just
29:44
Speaker 6: has the ability. Whether you call it courage or stubbornness,
29:47
Speaker 6: he just will not follow the Wow ideology. And I
29:51
Speaker 6: think that's a political winner. It's just that other Democrats
29:54
Speaker 6: are too scared to try that same path.
29:57
Speaker 1: Well, John fun brilliant is always great talking. You make
29:59
Speaker 1: sure you're read his columns. Go to National Review you
30:02
Speaker 1: can read them there. Make sure you followhim on Twitter.

Speaker 1: John Fund at Twitter, and get his book Are Broken Elections.
30:09
Speaker 1: It's still the best book on the subject, John Fund,
30:12
Speaker 1: great stuff, Thanks for being with us.
30:15
Speaker 6: Thank you, Mark.
30:15
Speaker 5: I'm Larry MENTI could Republicans really vote for Cuomo and

30:34

30:37
Speaker 11: hard to stand or walk? USA Vain Clinics has the solution.
30:41
Speaker 11: Diale powder.
30:42
Speaker 6: Well.
30:43
Speaker 1: Hey, this just in Alec Baldwin. You know this accident.
30:47
Speaker 1: It's Alec Baldwin and step Baldwin. These two geniuses are
30:51
Speaker 1: driving a white Range Rover belongs to Alex's wife and
30:56
Speaker 1: they get in an accident. They smash into a tree,
30:59
Speaker 1: smash up the front of the car. First thing, everything's
31:01
Speaker 1: you know, drunk right, Well, he says he's been sober
31:03
Speaker 1: for forty years now, and he said it was a
31:07
Speaker 1: big garbage truck coming at him and that's why he
31:10
Speaker 1: had a quickly turn and he ended up hitting the tree.
31:13
Speaker 1: He puent on line yesterday and explained himself it must have.
31:17
Speaker 12: Been something commercial for like taking away material from construction
31:23
Speaker 12: or something. It was the biggest garbage truck I've ever
31:25
Speaker 12: seen any Anyway, I won't come into the details now I'm.
31:28
Speaker 6: For you, but I had to avoid hitting him.
31:30
Speaker 12: I hit a tree. I had a big fat tree
31:34
Speaker 12: and crushed my car, my wife's car.
31:37
Speaker 1: Now he's over acting with that voice. It was a
31:41
Speaker 1: commercial garbage truck. It was some sort of the biggest
31:44
Speaker 1: height ever since. It's a little too melodramatic there, but
31:48
Speaker 1: here's the latest. Now East Hampton Police are backing up
31:53
Speaker 1: his story. His sob story has been backed up by
31:58
Speaker 1: cops in the Hampton. According to a new report. They
32:02
Speaker 1: say it was a National Waste Services truck that was
32:06
Speaker 1: turning right in front of him. East Hampton Police Department
32:10
Speaker 1: Chief Michael Sarlow said in a statement reported by TMZ
32:16
Speaker 1: that he had to turn suddenly and the road conditions
32:20
Speaker 1: were very slippery and wet. As you know obviously yesterday
32:24
Speaker 1: we were in the middle that nor Easter, the storm,
32:27
Speaker 1: and these were the contributing factors to the accident. The
32:31
Speaker 1: police chief says there was no injuries, no summons issued.
32:36
Speaker 1: Contributing factors to the accident were found to be a
32:38
Speaker 1: reaction to an uninvolved vehicle and the slippery roadway conditions,
32:43
Speaker 1: which means they say no drinking, no anything else. The
32:47
Speaker 1: East Hampton Police. Who knows, maybe Alec Baldwin's are very
32:52
Speaker 1: close to the East Hampton Police he's a resident. But
32:55
Speaker 1: we believe the East Hampton Police. If they say that's
32:57
Speaker 1: what it was, we'll take their word for it. So anyway,
33:02
Speaker 1: we're out of time, don't go away. Buck and Clay
