0:00
Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan.
0:03
Speaker 2: Here comes the Mark Simone show on seven Honors.
0:09
Speaker 3: Well, it's Monday, it's spring outside. An early spring has
0:13
Speaker 3: shown up. Daylight saving Simon light out till about seven o'clock,
0:17
Speaker 3: first day of daylight saving time. A spectacular sunset last night.
0:22
Speaker 3: Lots to get to today. The war is in day ten.
0:25
Speaker 3: How much is this costing us? We'll get to that.
0:28
Speaker 3: We'll get to oil prices. We'll get to a terrorist
0:31
Speaker 3: attack attempted here in New York City. We'll get to
0:35
Speaker 3: a crazy mom, Donnie. We'll get to his even his
0:41
Speaker 3: wife's awful, awful social media history, and a whole lot
0:46
Speaker 3: more coming up. So it is day ten of the war.
0:49
Speaker 3: Democrats have no idea how to attack Trump on this.
0:52
Speaker 3: They don't know what to do. They keep trying to
0:55
Speaker 3: go after him on this, and it's driving them crazy
0:59
Speaker 3: on and just how to do that. So they're just
1:03
Speaker 3: trying anything and everything. Yesterday was the Saturday was the
1:07
Speaker 3: Dignified Transfer where they brought back the bodies of the
1:10
Speaker 3: six who were killed in the Iranian War, and they
1:15
Speaker 3: came back to Dover Air Force Base. The president there,
1:18
Speaker 3: you remember, Joe Biden, was just awful at a dignified transfer,
1:22
Speaker 3: looking at his watch, bored out of his mind, right
1:24
Speaker 3: in front of the families of these fallen heroes. Right
1:28
Speaker 3: in front of the families, he's looking at his watch
1:30
Speaker 3: as if he wants to go. So they had to
1:32
Speaker 3: go after President Trump somehow. They went after him for
1:34
Speaker 3: wearing a hat. He's wearing a USA hat. And this
1:40
Speaker 3: was the attack line for a day and a half.
1:41
Speaker 3: It didn't stick. It's not working. How dare he wear
1:44
Speaker 3: a campaign hat? Not a campaign hat. It's a hat
1:47
Speaker 3: that says USA. It's not the red make America great,
1:51
Speaker 3: It's a USA hat. And you hear that echo on there? Yeah,
1:56
Speaker 3: what is that? I don't know what that is. I
2:00
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, yeah, somehow I'm echoing around let
2:03
Speaker 3: me see. No, I think I don't know if it's
2:06
Speaker 3: muting those speakers completely. I think it might be something
2:08
Speaker 3: like that. So where was he's wearing the hat? But
2:13
Speaker 3: if you check my Twitter, you'll see that half the
2:16
Speaker 3: people there were wearing hats. The pall bearers were wearing hats.
2:19
Speaker 3: There were military guys, but they're wearing berets. And behind
2:23
Speaker 3: Trump you'll see a lot of people wearing hats. They're
2:25
Speaker 3: military people, but there's no rule anywhere about take your
2:29
Speaker 3: hat off. Otherwise the military people, the pall bearers, would
2:32
Speaker 3: have removed their hats. So that attack didn't work. Now
2:35
Speaker 3: they're going to try to go after Trump on the
2:37
Speaker 3: cost of the war. Hey you hear that echoing. Yeah,
2:41
Speaker 3: so this will be that you'll hear this for a
2:45
Speaker 3: couple of days. This is money that could be spent
2:48
Speaker 3: at home. War costs about a billion dollars a day,
2:51
Speaker 3: where at day ten it's going to be about ten
2:53
Speaker 3: billion dollars by the end of the day. That's half
2:56
Speaker 3: of the Somali fraud in Minnesota. Government billions of dollars
3:01
Speaker 3: all the time. And this is not wasted. This is
3:02
Speaker 3: going to buy us a lot of peace and safety
3:06
Speaker 3: in the coming years. Yeah, here, definitely need more. Yeah,
3:14
Speaker 3: it's like it's like I'm at it sounds like WABC
3:19
Speaker 3: in the sixties with the echo with the with the reverb.
3:22
Speaker 3: So day ten of the war. But oil prices are up.
3:26
Speaker 3: This is the other line of attack. You know, he said,
3:28
Speaker 3: this is killing people. The oil prices with well oil
3:31
Speaker 3: has hit one hundred dollars in some cases may be
3:34
Speaker 3: going over one hundred dollars and that's not good. But
3:38
Speaker 3: it's just a spike. We were talking about just a
3:40
Speaker 3: couple of weeks of this, and all you got to
3:46
Speaker 3: do is open the straits of her Moose, which will
3:48
Speaker 3: happen pretty soon, probably in the next probably next week,
3:53
Speaker 3: they'll get it open. The Iranians have threatened to go
3:56
Speaker 3: after any oil tanker that tries to go through the
3:58
Speaker 3: straits of her Moose and deliver oil. Well, I don't
4:01
Speaker 3: know what they're going to go after him with. They
4:02
Speaker 3: lost their navy. They could try it with some speedboats
4:07
Speaker 3: with some rifles, but that's not going to do much.
4:09
Speaker 3: Opening the straits of Hormouse, they can do it when
4:11
Speaker 3: they want to do it. They'll have a US Navy
4:13
Speaker 3: escort ships through there. The real problem is not so
4:16
Speaker 3: much the danger, it's the insurance. It's really Lloyd's of
4:21
Speaker 3: London that's holding us up. That's who insures most of
4:23
Speaker 3: these tankers, and they just don't want to move a
4:26
Speaker 3: tanker without any insurance. Now. Also over the weekend and
4:32
Speaker 3: Israel targeted the airport, the main Iranian airport, took it
4:36
Speaker 3: out completely. And he's listen, I'm not an expert on
4:41
Speaker 3: this stuff. But when eventually you want to evacuate a
4:44
Speaker 3: lot of people, you might need that airport. But they
4:45
Speaker 3: know what they're doing, so they took out the airport.
4:48
Speaker 3: They also took out the Islamic Revolutionary Guard headquarters. You know,
4:52
Speaker 3: you got the Iranian Army, then you got the Revolutionary Guard.
4:56
Speaker 3: These are the really evil ones. These are Revolutionary Guard
4:59
Speaker 3: was created to be above the army. Their main job
5:03
Speaker 3: is to protect the borders and protect the government from
5:07
Speaker 3: the army in case anything happens. But the Revolutionary Guard
5:11
Speaker 3: over the years became the central hub for all the violence,
5:15
Speaker 3: the slaughter of protesters, the real ugly stuff. So they're
5:19
Speaker 3: trying to take out as many of them as they can.
5:23
Speaker 3: Now apparently there's a little friction between the US and Israel.
5:27
Speaker 3: We're upset with Israel because they struck an Iranian oil
5:32
Speaker 3: storage site, causing massive fireballs into the sky that cause
5:37
Speaker 3: black rain water saturated with oil, cover rooftops, cover streets,
5:42
Speaker 3: screw up the air quality. This could cause a lot
5:44
Speaker 3: of illness and problems there. So there it goes. That's
5:54
Speaker 3: a real hum there. So it was Israel that did
5:58
Speaker 3: that bombing. Now apparently apparently the US is mad at Israel.
6:02
Speaker 3: There's a little bit of a fight there, but they'll
6:04
Speaker 3: get it straightened out. So let's get to mayor a
6:08
Speaker 3: mom Donnie who was totally bungled, mishandled, completely screwed up.
6:14
Speaker 3: What happened this weekend? There was an attempted terrorist attack
6:17
Speaker 3: right outside Gracie Mansion just down the street. You had
6:22
Speaker 3: a couple of nut job right wing types, a couple
6:25
Speaker 3: of January sixth but real wacko fringe right wing nuts
6:32
Speaker 3: who showed up and go to this mic. I can't
6:36
Speaker 3: get it over here. But hang on a second. Let
6:42
Speaker 3: me see. Hey, you know what if I talk over here,
6:45
Speaker 3: I'm fine. I just moved this mic over here. Now
6:48
Speaker 3: what could that be we're trying it with. There's all
6:50
Speaker 3: kinds of engineers here in the control room. Let me
6:53
Speaker 3: disconnect this speaker here and shut it off and see
6:56
Speaker 3: if that has anything to do with it. Yeah, I
6:58
Speaker 3: think that's part of the problem. Might hang on, Hang on,
7:01
Speaker 3: we shut off this speaker. That's it. You see, that
7:05
Speaker 3: fixed the problem. I just shut off the speakers here. Well,
7:08
Speaker 3: you give me the thumbs up, But now you got
7:10
Speaker 3: to figure out why if I opened the mic, wasn't
7:14
Speaker 3: muting those speakers. That's where the problem is. When I
7:17
Speaker 3: opened the mic, it didn't mute any of these speakers.
7:19
Speaker 3: So if we can figure it, we'll figure the whole
7:23
Speaker 3: thing out. So yeah, oil prices will spike up over
7:27
Speaker 3: one hundred bucks, but it's just gonna be weeks and
7:29
Speaker 3: they'll they'll h at some point, probably later in the week.
7:34
Speaker 3: Next week, they'll have a tanker come through the straits
7:36
Speaker 3: of her Mouse. It'll have a naval escort. And if
7:39
Speaker 3: they can't get the insurance that Lloyd's of London has
7:41
Speaker 3: canceled the insurance, the US government will provide the insurance.
7:44
Speaker 3: Once a tanker moves through, and then another tanker comes through,
7:47
Speaker 3: oil prices will immediately plunge. Stock market will come way
7:51
Speaker 3: back up. Getting back to Mom, Donnie, So this Mom
7:54
Speaker 3: Donnie again. You got crazy right way nutjobs, a couple
8:01
Speaker 3: of them, and then you got these left wing wacko
8:05
Speaker 3: But these were really terrorist types ISIS inspired terrorists with IEDs.
8:10
Speaker 3: Remember those from Iraq, those bombs that were and they
8:14
Speaker 3: used all sorts of chemicals that isis uses. This is
8:16
Speaker 3: real ISIS train. Luckily, the heroes of the NYPD somehow
8:21
Speaker 3: tackled these guys and stopped them. If those bombs had
8:25
Speaker 3: gone off, you had seen some major, major, major, major
8:29
Speaker 3: damage and death in that neighborhood. So they stopped them.
8:33
Speaker 3: It's over. Now. Here's the problem. You got these horrible
8:37
Speaker 3: isis terrorist types that were here. If it's if it
8:41
Speaker 3: goes to Alvin Bragg, if you leave it up to Mom,
8:43
Speaker 3: Donnie and Alvin Bragg, these guys will be released with
8:46
Speaker 3: a desk appearance ticket. You know, as soon as Alvin
8:48
Speaker 3: Bragg finds out they were anti Israel, anti Semitic terrorists,
8:53
Speaker 3: you think he's gonna come down now. Now, the good
8:55
Speaker 3: news is it looks like the Feds will take the case.
8:59
Speaker 3: It looks like they'll be charged federally, which means it
9:02
Speaker 3: goes to the US Attorney Southern District. That's Jay Clayton,
9:05
Speaker 3: who's a great US attorney, And it looks like they'll
9:09
Speaker 3: handle the case and then these guys will end up
9:11
Speaker 3: in prison for a long long time. Police Commissioner Jessica Tish,
9:17
Speaker 3: apparently it's a little friction here. She quickly held a
9:20
Speaker 3: press commage. You gotta have a press compage. You gotta
9:22
Speaker 3: explain to the public what's going on. Apparently mom Downe
9:25
Speaker 3: not happy about that, so he held one today. But
9:28
Speaker 3: this is the police commissioner.
9:29
Speaker 4: Yesterday, a counter protester identified as a mere Ballat, an
9:35
Speaker 4: eighteen year old man, lit and threw an ignited device
9:39
Speaker 4: toward the protest area, landing in the crosswalk of East
9:44
Speaker 4: eighty seventh Street and East End Avenue. Witnesses reported seeing
9:49
Speaker 4: flames and smoke as it traveled through the air before
9:53
Speaker 4: it struck a barrier and extinguished itself a few feet
9:57
Speaker 4: from police officers. Yea then ran southbound on East End
10:02
Speaker 4: Avenue toward eighty sixth Street and gets a second device
10:06
Speaker 4: from a man tentatively id'd as Ibrahim Nick nineteen years old.
10:13
Speaker 4: Mister Ballot lights the device and starts running with it.
10:17
Speaker 4: He then drops the device on the west side of
10:20
Speaker 4: East End Avenue between East eighty six and East eighty
10:23
Speaker 4: seventh Streets. Officers immediately secured the area and they took
10:28
Speaker 4: both men into custody.
10:31
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know what the mayor was so upset about.
10:34
Speaker 3: Pretty much the standard police commissioner press cormige. You got
10:37
Speaker 3: a horrible incident like this, you got to tell the
10:38
Speaker 3: public exactly what happened, and exactly what the status is
10:42
Speaker 3: of everything. So that's what she's supposed to do. The
10:45
Speaker 3: mayor did his own press conference today. You know, here's
10:49
Speaker 3: the You got a lot of problems with this mayor.
10:51
Speaker 3: But the other one is no experience at all, no experience.
10:55
Speaker 3: Great campaigning, puts on the big smile, talks real fast
10:58
Speaker 3: and sounds like he knows what he's talking about, but
11:00
Speaker 3: when it comes to police work, when it comes to
11:02
Speaker 3: running government, when it comes to actually managing anything, no
11:05
Speaker 3: experience doesn't know what he's doing. A lot of flack
11:09
Speaker 3: over his crazy wife. I think I can say crazy
11:11
Speaker 3: now because if you saw on Twitter a posts about
11:15
Speaker 3: the October seventh Holocaust that took place in Israel, the ugliest,
11:20
Speaker 3: bloodiest attack, the most anti Semitic, vicious, vile attack on
11:25
Speaker 3: October seventh, where people were raped, babies were killed, and slaught.
11:29
Speaker 3: I mean pictures of that. Could you put a like
11:32
Speaker 3: on that? Could you click like on a tweet like that? Well,
11:36
Speaker 3: missus Mom Donnie apparently clicked like on a few of
11:39
Speaker 3: those kind of things. In fact, they're finding more and
11:42
Speaker 3: more of that. I mean, that's as sick as you
11:45
Speaker 3: can get. There's nothing sicker than clicking like on October
11:49
Speaker 3: seventh and the slaughter that took place. I mean it
11:52
Speaker 3: was basically another Holocaust. It's like it's like Hitler posting
11:56
Speaker 3: about the Holocaust and Auschwitz and you're clicking life on it.
12:00
Speaker 3: I mean, that's basically what missus mom Donnie did. Horrible,
12:04
Speaker 3: absolutely horrible. So he was asked about it.
12:08
Speaker 5: I'd like to know what your reaction was to the
12:11
Speaker 5: article in the Jewish Insider that was posted about your
12:14
Speaker 5: wife's social media activity. And what I'm wondering is you know,
12:19
Speaker 5: you're an elected official, she is not. Is it anybody's business?
12:24
Speaker 3: And is it fair to question you about it?
12:29
Speaker 6: You know, my wife is the love of my life,
12:31
Speaker 6: and she's also a private person who has held no
12:35
Speaker 6: formal position on my campaign or in my city hall. I, however,
12:39
Speaker 6: was elected to represent all eight and a half million
12:41
Speaker 6: people in the city, and I believe that it's my responsibility,
12:44
Speaker 6: because of that role, to answer any questions about my
12:47
Speaker 6: thoughts and my policies and my decisions.
12:48
Speaker 3: Now, he always does that. He talks fast like that,
12:50
Speaker 3: and he sounds like very blah blah blah. He knows meantime,
12:52
Speaker 3: what was the answer? She had? No formal role in
12:55
Speaker 3: the campaign. She doesn't work any What does that have
12:57
Speaker 3: to do with anything? Your wife is clicking like on
13:00
Speaker 3: the October seventh Holocaust. It's disgusting. May she may have
13:04
Speaker 3: no role in the campaign, but she lives with you
13:06
Speaker 3: and is talking into your ear all day and night.
13:09
Speaker 3: You got to have an answer for this. You still
13:10
Speaker 3: have to explain why she would like something like that,
13:13
Speaker 3: What is it? And she has to come forward and
13:15
Speaker 3: explain it.
13:16
Speaker 6: My wife is the love of my life, and she's
13:18
Speaker 6: also a private person who has held no formal position
13:22
Speaker 6: on my campaign or in my city hall. I however,
13:26
Speaker 6: was elected to represent all eight and a half million
13:28
Speaker 6: people in the city, and I believe that it's my responsibility,
13:31
Speaker 6: because of that role, to answer any questions about my
13:33
Speaker 6: thoughts and my policies and my decisions.
13:35
Speaker 3: So of course the first thought, well of his wife
13:37
Speaker 3: feels like that, he must feel like that. Well, yeah,
13:39
Speaker 3: remember let's go back to twenty twenty three when he's
13:43
Speaker 3: in the street yelling that kind of stuff against Israel.
13:45
Speaker 2: Who is right?
13:46
Speaker 5: For?
13:50
Speaker 3: Who is right?
13:51
Speaker 4: At the end of the part.
13:52
Speaker 1: Time, the support for the Israeli government is something that
13:57
Speaker 1: has developed from the first moment that someone even thinks
14:00
Speaker 1: about politics in this country. We have to combat it
14:04
Speaker 1: at the same level.
14:05
Speaker 5: It's not on all done, not on or done.
14:12
Speaker 6: Not on or done.
14:17
Speaker 3: That was the real Mom, Donnie, Mom Donnie a couple
14:20
Speaker 3: of years ago, Mom Donnie today, Well my woice Jackal
14:25
Speaker 3: and Hyde now and he was yelling there about Israel apartheid.
14:29
Speaker 3: Whenever you hear Israel apartheid, that is the most antisemitic
14:33
Speaker 3: trope you could ever hear. That's then you know you're
14:35
Speaker 3: dealing with a real anti Semiti. It's bad, bad stuff.

Speaker 3: Republicans it actually just started.
17:56
Speaker 8: So there's still hope that they're going to get it,
17:59
Speaker 8: find out what.
17:59
Speaker 3: Really it's actually underway. There's no vote. You can't vote
18:02
Speaker 3: on anything. It's a Justice Department investigation. Nobody gets there.
18:05
Speaker 8: The Republicans aren't, aren't blocking.
18:08
Speaker 3: You'll block whatever you want to block whatever you want.
18:10
Speaker 3: It doesn't affect the investigation's done with the Justice Department. Okay, thanks,
18:15
Speaker 3: there's no vote that would affect it. Let's go to
18:17
Speaker 3: h Richard and Bay Shore. Richard, how you doing, Thank
18:21
Speaker 3: you morning. Mark.
18:22
Speaker 8: You know, the President's I did of ensuring the ships
18:24
Speaker 8: transit into the war zone is great, but when taking
18:28
Speaker 8: a step further and try.
18:29
Speaker 3: To develop an American version of Lloyd's, well that we
18:33
Speaker 3: have that, we have that. In fact, that's what the
18:35
Speaker 3: President said he'll do. If if you can't get the
18:37
Speaker 3: insurance companies come in, we'll it. We'll just insure them,
18:41
Speaker 3: which is easy to do. We'll we'll insure the tankers
18:43
Speaker 3: and then escort them through. But expect it to happen
18:45
Speaker 3: later this week or next week. They'll start bringing tankers through,
18:48
Speaker 3: and once the tankers start moving through with the oil,
18:51
Speaker 3: you'll see prices coming right back down. Let's go to
18:54
Speaker 3: Roberta in Queen's Roberta, how you.
18:56
Speaker 8: Doing, hi, Mark? You know the demonstrates in front of
19:00
Speaker 8: Grating mansion.
19:01
Speaker 2: Why didn't they tend social workers instead of belief?
19:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, that's right outside your house. Terrorists with bombs. Yes,
19:09
Speaker 3: send a social worker to discuss it with him. So
19:12
Speaker 3: good point. Thanks for calling mom. Donnie still talking about that. Hey,
19:17
Speaker 3: I don't know if he knows. But the NYPD has
19:20
Speaker 3: tried this experiment where if it's a domestic violence call,
19:23
Speaker 3: you send in a social worker. They've tried this about
19:25
Speaker 3: four times over the last thirty forty years. It never works.
19:29
Speaker 3: It fails every time. In fact, the problem is a
19:33
Speaker 3: lot of social workers get harmed, killed, murdered. There's no
19:36
Speaker 3: social worker that wants to answer a domestic violence call.
19:39
Speaker 3: To begin with. Let's go to Joel in Florida. Joel,
19:42
Speaker 3: how you doing.
19:44
Speaker 8: Good morning, Mark. I'm just a simple question. For years,
19:48
Speaker 8: we've been talking about drill, baby drill, and we have
19:51
Speaker 8: our own domestic oil instead of having to deal with
19:54
Speaker 8: all these tankers coming through the Middle East. Why can
19:57
Speaker 8: we not just use our own oil or.
20:01
Speaker 3: Oh we do. We have more oil than Saudi Arabia,
20:03
Speaker 3: We have more oil than around. We have plenty of oil.
20:06
Speaker 3: This whole price of oil spiking way up. This happens
20:11
Speaker 3: Wall Street will panic. You saw it when the President
20:13
Speaker 3: Trump started the terrace. I remember the market went down, just plunged,
20:17
Speaker 3: just plunged. It was no reason for that, absolutely no
20:19
Speaker 3: reason for that. And then a week later it came
20:21
Speaker 3: back and not only came back, but went to record
20:24
Speaker 3: highs and went to fifty thousand. Same thing here, stock
20:27
Speaker 3: market panicked, and the oil companies panic, and they take
20:30
Speaker 3: advantage of it for a couple of weeks, spike the
20:32
Speaker 3: price up to one hundred dollars a barrel. There's actually
20:35
Speaker 3: no reason for it. Right now, there's plenty of oil.
20:37
Speaker 3: There's no shortage of oil. In fact, we have a
20:40
Speaker 3: glut of oil as we speak. In fact, if you
20:43
Speaker 3: want to bring some oil and we don't even have
20:44
Speaker 3: any storage space left, oil is filling every storage space
20:49
Speaker 3: right now. There's absolutely no reason to do all of this. Hey,
20:53
Speaker 3: coming up, we'll Michael Goodwin will be with us in
20:56
Speaker 3: a few moments. We've got a lot to get to. Hey,
20:58
Speaker 3: Also remind me to get to the big arch McDonald's,
21:02
Speaker 3: a big, huge, Well i'll tell you what I think.
21:04
Speaker 3: We'll get to that coming up. Also, department stores are
21:07
Speaker 3: closing like crazy all over the Tri state area. It's
21:11
Speaker 3: getting really, really really bad. So that and a lot
21:14
Speaker 3: more just ahead. And as I said, Michael Goodwin, he's
21:17
Speaker 3: been under the weather for a few weeks, hasn't been
21:20
Speaker 3: with us, but he's back doing well. And we'll talk
21:23
Speaker 3: to Michael Goodwin next on seven ten, Word.
21:28
Speaker 4: Into Everything, New York.
21:30
Speaker 1: Mark Simone on seven.
21:31
Speaker 3: Ten, wor R Well we us right now. The greatest
21:37
Speaker 3: columnist in America, Michael Goodwin. You can read his column
21:41
Speaker 3: every Sunday every Wednesday in the New York Post and
21:44
Speaker 3: all his columns are up on the New York Post website.
21:47
Speaker 3: Michael Goodwin, how you doing.
21:49
Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark, Thank you great to have.
21:51
Speaker 3: You with us. Iran. You've written a couple of columns
21:54
Speaker 3: now about Iran. Tell everybody how you feel about the
21:57
Speaker 3: president's choice here to go to war.
22:00
Speaker 7: Look I think it's obviously risky, but I believe it's
22:04
Speaker 7: also necessary. Something had to be done about this regime
22:10
Speaker 7: that was threatening America, of course threatening Israel. Threatening as
22:15
Speaker 7: we can see now all the Arab countries that our
22:20
Speaker 7: allies in the region are now being with iranium missiles
22:24
Speaker 7: and rockets. This was the world's top trouble maker in
22:29
Speaker 7: the sense of exporting the Islamic Revolution throughout the region
22:35
Speaker 7: around the world, and they killed hundreds and hundreds of
22:38
Speaker 7: Americans in the forty seven years that have been in power.
22:43
Speaker 7: So look, this is obviously a difficult decision for a
22:47
Speaker 7: president to make to go to war, and unfortunately there
22:52
Speaker 7: are American casualties. But I think the question becomes is
22:58
Speaker 7: it the right decision? Fundamentally, I believe it's not only right,
23:03
Speaker 7: I believe there's a level of righteousness to it because
23:07
Speaker 7: of the evil that this regime has done to the
23:11
Speaker 7: world and of course to ninety million Iranians who are
23:16
Speaker 7: now on the verbs of liberation.
23:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you ever think you see democrats out in
23:22
Speaker 3: the street protesting against killing the Ayatola, a man who
23:28
Speaker 3: kills protesters, they're actually protesting his death. Did you ever
23:31
Speaker 3: think could see that.
23:32
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, it's it's market's a continuation of what we
23:36
Speaker 7: have seen since Trump came down that escalator in twenty fifteen.
23:43
Speaker 7: Anything he's for, they are reflexively against, even when it
23:47
Speaker 7: makes no sense, even when it goes against their own history.
23:52
Speaker 7: But they are just warped by the fear that Donald
23:57
Speaker 7: Trump will get something done that we're in back them
24:00
Speaker 7: and their party, and so they have to oppose him
24:03
Speaker 7: at every step.
24:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty funny. So if he pulls this off
24:11
Speaker 3: and Iran becomes a much better place, and that probably
24:15
Speaker 3: will calm everything down in the Middle East, that would
24:18
Speaker 3: stop Hesbala all that stuff.
24:21
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's amazing, you know, Mike. I think another thing
24:25
Speaker 7: that's come out of this is that Israel is emerging
24:30
Speaker 7: as America's not only important regional ally, I think it's
24:36
Speaker 7: become America's most important ally anywhere. You look at the
24:40
Speaker 7: behavior of the so called great powers of Europe sitting
24:45
Speaker 7: there complaining about this, critiquing it, opposing it. What are
24:51
Speaker 7: they doing that they have lagged on the Russian invasion,
24:55
Speaker 7: They had to be coaxed into paying more money. I mean,
25:00
Speaker 7: they've all just surrendered to the woke culture and of
25:03
Speaker 7: course they're all afraid of their domestic Muslim populations. If
25:09
Speaker 7: you cannot be four square against the Uranium regime, what
25:13
Speaker 7: could you? What are you waiting for? What will trip
25:17
Speaker 7: you into action? I mean, it's really something breathtaking. So
25:21
Speaker 7: I think Israel is now America's most important ally.
25:26
Speaker 3: Yeah. Hey, Michael Goodwin, mom, Donnie's wife all sorts of
25:32
Speaker 3: controversy now that we're twitter things about the October seventh
25:36
Speaker 3: Holocaust pictures and she's clicking like on that. How will
25:41
Speaker 3: how does he ever explain this?
25:44
Speaker 7: Yeah? I think his answer basically that you know, she's
25:49
Speaker 7: a private citizen, I think is not sufficient. I mean,
25:54
Speaker 7: I think he has to answer for himself. Does he
25:58
Speaker 7: feel that way? Does he agree with that? I think
26:01
Speaker 7: that's the question that has to be put to him.
26:05
Speaker 7: And now, of course, we have the other incident from
26:08
Speaker 7: yesterday outside Gracie Mansion, and he has yet, to my understanding,
26:14
Speaker 7: he has yet to condemn the people involved. He has
26:17
Speaker 7: a blanket condemnation of violence. But this is not ordinary violence.
26:23
Speaker 7: This is terrorism inspired violence.
26:25
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, luckily it looks like they're going to charge
26:28
Speaker 3: him federally, so he'll go to the US attorney.
26:30
Speaker 7: But right, we don't have to worry about Alvin Bragg.
26:34
Speaker 7: But you're right, Mark, I think it does raise another question.
26:38
Speaker 7: Where's Kathy Hoko on this right? Where where is the
26:43
Speaker 7: other Democratic official? Where's Chuck Humor on this? Where where
26:48
Speaker 7: are the people who are supposed to keep New York safe?
26:52
Speaker 7: Meanwhile the Department of Homeland Security is closed because of
26:56
Speaker 7: Democrats who go to the budget.
26:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, Chuck Schumer for a long time. How the hell
27:03
Speaker 3: did he ever end up like this where you think
27:05
Speaker 3: he'd be the first one supporting Israel and taking out
27:08
Speaker 3: the eye told. How did he get so screwed up?
27:11
Speaker 7: Yeah? You know, Mike, there's an old say that sometimes
27:14
Speaker 7: party asks too much, and I think Schumer has never
27:20
Speaker 7: really said that. I think he's gone along with his
27:23
Speaker 7: party no matter who is leading it or what it is.
27:27
Speaker 7: He's afraid to stand up to the party. He'll stand
27:31
Speaker 7: up to Donald Trump or call him names, He'll fret
27:34
Speaker 7: the Supreme Court, but it will come to you know,
27:37
Speaker 7: AOC or people like that. He quivers.
27:42
Speaker 3: So that makes you an admire a guy like that,
27:44
Speaker 3: like a Bruce Blakeman, a guy who's not afraid to
27:46
Speaker 3: say just common sense, whatever the right thing is to do.
27:49
Speaker 3: That's the position he'll take. And he's you think he's
27:53
Speaker 3: got to do a good shot against Kathy Hockel.
27:56
Speaker 7: And I think Mark, that people crave, you know, sort
28:01
Speaker 7: of people who are politicians, who are honest and who
28:05
Speaker 7: are not beholden to an id on oology. Most people
28:10
Speaker 7: are common sense. They want their politicians to be. That's
28:15
Speaker 7: why to me, the surprise of the last ten years
28:19
Speaker 7: is John Fetterman. Right, He's the one Democrat in the
28:23
Speaker 7: Senate who says sensible things, even to me if it
28:27
Speaker 7: means agreeing with President Trump. But no other Democrat will
28:32
Speaker 7: go where Fetterman goes.
28:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like the Bill Clinton of right now. This
28:36
Speaker 3: is a similar win, right, Clinton emerged among all the
28:39
Speaker 3: left wing wackos and led the party back to the center.
28:42
Speaker 7: You think that, yes, exactly, No, I think that's a
28:45
Speaker 7: good point.
28:46
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, Michael Goodwin, great having you with us, And
28:49
Speaker 3: you can read Michael Goodwin's column every Monday, I mean
28:51
Speaker 3: every Sunday, every Sunday and every Wednesday in the New
28:55
Speaker 3: York Post. Keep up the great work and we'll talk
28:57
Speaker 3: to you next week.
28:58
Speaker 7: Thank you, Mark.

Speaker 3: All right, take care. Hey, we've got a lot coming
29:03
Speaker 3: up in the next hour. Well, we'll get to Bruce
29:06

Speaker 3: all over the Tri State area, the biggest ones. Also,
29:18

29:27
Speaker 3: it look like in the governor's race. We'll get to

30:13
Speaker 3: like that for a few days. That's you get rid
30:15
Speaker 3: of the last of all of that snow. You know,
30:19
Speaker 3: there are some you know, the left wing has gone
30:22
Speaker 3: so far to the left, so crazy, so nuts. You
30:25
Speaker 3: remember James Carville who worked for Clinton, Remember Mary Mattlin.
30:29
Speaker 3: James Carville. This is how nuts they've got, even he
30:32
Speaker 3: a Clinton guy. You know, Clinton was always the common sense,
30:35
Speaker 3: middle road, the middle of the road, voice of reason,
30:37
Speaker 3: kind of a Democrat. Listen to James Carville over the weekend.
30:41
Speaker 3: He's always on YouTube, been always doing podcasts. But this
30:45
Speaker 3: is this is the common sense then, Okay, listen to
30:48
Speaker 3: how nuts he's got about Donald Trump. I got Trump
30:50
Speaker 3: arrangement syndrome.
30:51
Speaker 8: And you know what, I don't want to get rid
30:54
Speaker 8: of it.
30:55
Speaker 3: I don't want to get better.
30:56
Speaker 8: I want to get worse. I want to hate ay more.
31:00
Speaker 5: I quite a God in heaven, God rained the righteous rain.
31:05
Speaker 3: Of Trump derangement syndrome.
31:07
Speaker 7: Me plaite of me, Lord on your vessel on this earth.
31:13
Speaker 3: Just going nuttier and nuttier. I could see some people
31:16
Speaker 3: don't like Trump. I mean I've always liked him. I
31:18
Speaker 3: mean I always got to kick out him. But knowing
31:20
Speaker 3: him for millions of years before he even got into politics,
31:23
Speaker 3: the same thing was going on there here in New
31:25
Speaker 3: York and the business world and the social world. Half
31:28
Speaker 3: the people loved him, and half the people just didn't
31:31
Speaker 3: like him. They found him a borish, offensive whatever they
31:34
Speaker 3: found him. But when he went into politics, it just
31:39
Speaker 3: was the same thing times a billion. I mean, it's again,
31:43
Speaker 3: if you don't like I mean, I look at Biden.
31:46
Speaker 3: I don't like him. I don't like the type of
31:47
Speaker 3: guy he is. I don't like the way he talks.
31:49
Speaker 3: I don't like the way he walks. I don't like
31:51
Speaker 3: he just don't like him irritating. But I can't imagine
31:55
Speaker 3: getting riled up or mad about it. I can't imagine
31:58
Speaker 3: typing away nasty things all night about him. I can't
32:02
Speaker 3: imagine getting an rage about it. So what is it
32:06
Speaker 3: about Trump that sets them off? Or maybe it's not him,
32:09
Speaker 3: Maybe it's them. Maybe they're just children, just childish. It's
32:12
Speaker 3: like a tantrum. It's like anyway, we'll talk more about
32:15
Speaker 3: this in the next hour and a lot to get to.
32:18
Speaker 3: Don't forget. I'm here every day ten to noon, or
32:21
Speaker 3: you could listen any time you want. Just get the
32:23
