  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the Mark Simon Show on seven tenor Hey,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: you realize it's Wednesday, which means it's one week since
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve was one week ago.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: You got through the first week of twenty twenty six.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You got through the first week of the Mamdani administration.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It's only about three hundred more weeks of him to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: get through, and then you'll be fine. Gotta keep clearing
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: my throat. I'm not sick, just my nose has been
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: stuffed up for a week and a half. It's just
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: this ridiculously cold weather. It's gonna be in the forties today,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: fifties later this week. In Alaska. Remember the Remember a
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: couple weeks ago we had all that snow on a Friday.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Remember Bridgeport seven inches long, Island seven inches. It was horrible.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Seven inches this weather, Alaska. This is just the past
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: couple of days. Seven feet of snow, seven feet of snow.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: You know here, if you get an inch, there's already
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a school closings immediately. Alaska. You got to get to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: about ten feet before they close the schools there. So
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: we'll get to Venezuela, we'll get to Greenland, we'll get
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to Tim Waltz. We'll get to CBS News. They're getting
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of flat they've been cleaning up the Evening News,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: trying to make it less corrupt, and they're getting a
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: lot of flack for it. Hey, we'll get to that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: crazy George Conway who's running for Congress. We'll get to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: mom Donnie. Hey, speaking of getting a lot of flak,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: this Hilton story did not get a lot of coverage.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: But you know, there's Hilton, and there's a great hotel chain.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: You got Hilton hotels all over the place, and there's
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: one in the Minnesota where you know, ICE when they
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: go into these cities, you don't realize all the logistics
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that are required forget arresting the criminals, the criminal illegals,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: just the logistics of getting them all there. If you
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: want to send one hundred ICE agents there, you got
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to move them there. All their equipment, everything, their vehicles,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: everything has to be moved there. And then you got
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to find a hotel for them to stay in. So
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: in every city they have to book one hundred hotel rooms.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Although well, government likes to waste money, but although it
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: might be you know, they double up. So it's fifty
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: hotel rooms, two in a room, whatever. But in Minneapolis
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: they used here it is again. In Minneapolis, they used
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a Hilton hotel to have the ICE agents stay. Well,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the local Hilton hotel employees. You know, it's Minnesota, and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: they were crazy left wing, childish democrats, woke democrats. So
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: they found out these were ICE people coming to stay
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: in the hotel, so they canceled the reservation and informed
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Ice that they were not welcome to stay in this
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Hilton hotel. Well you can't do that, of course, that's ridiculous. Now,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: it's not the fault of Hilton the corporation. It's these
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: employees in this local hotel, and it turns out it's
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: not owned by Hilton. You know, many of these hotels
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: are owned and built by Hilton. But a lot of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: these hotels you stay in were just built by the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: local guy who built a hotel and then he makes
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a deal with Hilton to come in and run it
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and put their name on it. It's a franchise you
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: can buy, so you can build yourself a beautiful hotel
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and then you get Marriott to be the name on
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: it and run it. You have to, you know, make
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a partnership franchise agreement with them. In this case, it
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: was Hilton. So Hilton looked into this and they immediately
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: withdrew the franchise. They fired this local owner and hotel.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: They took their name off the hotel. They will have
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with this hotel anymore. It's against their
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: policy to discriminate against people because of their race or
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: because you don't like the way they look, or you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: don't like their politics. You can't discriminate and refuse to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: give them a room. So Hilton has withdrawn the franchise.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: That will have nothing to do with this hotel anymore.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: So now, of course, the left wing cooks are all
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: gone after Hilton denouncing Hilton. Writing about Hilton, here's one
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: of these left wing cooks. S. Hilton was trying to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: protect people from government thugs who separate people from their families.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: They separate families well. First of all, every law enforcement
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: agency in the world separates families. The New York City
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: police separate families. The Minneapolis police separate whenever anybody's arrested.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: If they arrest a woman's say a mother, and they
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: arrest her and have to arrest her take her in
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: handcuff her, take her to jail. That you can't bring
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: your kids with you. You're separated. The kids have to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: stay with a relative or something, or if there's nobody,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: they go into child services. But every law enforcement agency
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: separates families. Every arrest, families are separated. So Hilton getting
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of flack. Now you know who else is
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: getting a lot of flax. CBS News because the new
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: woman in charge, Barry Weiss, decided to clean up the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: corruption over there and try to make it a little
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: more fair and balanced. So normally you watch the CBS
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Evening News, all they do is denounce the President, denounce
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the administration, call them all kinds of names. Whatever they do,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it's awful. So the new CBS News under Berry Wise,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: they put in a new anchor. This guy's pretty good.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It's off to a rough, rocky start, but he's pretty good.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: He'll he'll slowly even. You know. He actually get some
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: pretty good anchors. Now, this David Muher, you know, might
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: be a little slanted, but he's a sharp look and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: it's a great newscast. The ABC Evening News and the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: new NBC News anchor, I can't remember his name, Tom
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Yamas that's his name, Tom Yamas. He's actually I like
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Lester Holdy was a nice guy. Totally corrupt on the air,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: totally biased, but he's a nice guy. This guy's sharper, better, quicker,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and the same thing with CBS. This guy's pretty good.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: But they've decided to make the newscast fair. So every
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: night they'll go after the Trump administration a little with
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the language because it's still being written by CBS News writers,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: but they'll be fair. They'll put the other side. On
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the first night of this new guy, he gave Pete
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Hexath three segments on the New three segments on the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: evening News to respond. And then it was Marco Rubio
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: one night. They brought him on live and whatever they
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: said bad about Trump, they put on Rubio, let him respond,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and then Christy Nome, whatever the attack was, they then
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: went to her, put her on live on the news
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and let her respond. That's the fair thing to do,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: so you're supposed to do so. CBS News getting all
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: kinds of flak from left wing critics now attacking them
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: like crazy. Here's one the call says it. Now it's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: become Fox News Light. They're shilling for the administration just
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: giving the other the other side of chance to respond.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: That's shilling for the administration. So uh, changes are happening.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And remember this is only the first year of Donald Trump.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Give him two three years and we'll see what happens. Now,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: all this Greenland talk, you know, I feel bad for
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the Democrats. This is costing them a fortune. You know,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: they all had to go out and buy Ukrainian flags
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to wave around, and then all the trouble in Israel
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: they had and they had to go out and get
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: rid of the flags. They had to go out and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: buy a Hamas flags and Palestinian flags to wave around.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I mean every second they got to buy a new flag.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Then Ice they had, all these liberals had to go
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: buy Mexican flags, and now they all got to go
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: buy Venezuelan flags. You know, they spending a fortune on flags.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Had I known this was going to happen, I would
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: have bought stock and flag companies a couple of years ago.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: But it just you go into any left wing kook
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: woke Democrats home, there's a closet now filled with different flags. Hey,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: by the way, a lot of this stuff these protests
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: are funded organized. They're not organic or natural, many of
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: them paid for by Soros and those other oligarchs. The
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Democrat oligarchs like Soros fund them. Nicole what's his name,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Reid Hoffman, Reid Hoffman. So the President and the administration
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: for the they've hinted at this, but for the first
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: time ever they said they're looking at going after them.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Harmiit Dillon and others in the Department of Justice now
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: talking about conspiracy charges against them. When you see what
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: looks supposed to be just an organic protest that happened
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden over Venezuela, they all two hundred
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of them, have all the same equipment. They have the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: same exact signs from the same printer, and they're real
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: high quality, glossy printed signs, really expensive. Well, so this
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: is all being funded by these Soros type zillionaires. But
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: now they're talking about rico charges, conspiracy charges funding protests,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: So finally something may be done about that. So the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Venezuela talk. Now here's the other thing. The President talking
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: about Greenland taking over Greenland, hinting at the military go
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: in there and sees Greenland. He's not going to do that.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be the military. First of all,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the military seizing Greenland. A boy scout troop take over
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Greenland in about half an hour. I mean, it would
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: take twenty minutes to seize Greenland. So what he wants
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: is to buy it from Denmark. Denmark owns Greenland, and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: there was a time a while back where they were
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: actually kind of interested in talking about it because the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: price was going to be billions of dollars for Greenland
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and they needed the money. Denmark's economy in trouble, a big, huge, huge,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: huge deficit and debt. Well, one of the things that
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: saved them was that ozempic because apparently some of the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: original whatever it is from ozempic made in Greenland in Denmark,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and they've made a fortune off it, which made up
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of their deficit. But US wants Greenland, they'd
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: like to buy it, they'd like to work out an
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: agreement to buy it and pay for it and then
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: own it. But that's the reason for all this invasion
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: military to it's just negotiating, just negotiating. There's no chance
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: of actually invading Greenland or taking it over. But it's
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: a very valuable thing for the US. It's very important,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: crucial military base for US crucial as far as shipping lanes.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: It has all kinds of defense strategic reasons why we
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: need to have Greenland. Also, it's filled with valuable minerals
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: and stuff, so it's a win win to take Greenland,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and Denmark really doesn't need it for any defense purposes
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: or strategic purposes or military base purposes. And then there's
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: always the fear for all those same reasons that the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Russia somebody else could take it over. President Trump. You know,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: remember Joe Biden, remember him, And maybe once a year
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: he tried to do a press conference and they'd call
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: on three people where they were already picked beforehand, questions
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and answers written out right in front of Joe. And
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: they had to put a big card with the reporter's
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: name so Joe could call on them, and the reporter's
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: picture so he'd recognize them. And they used the real
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: big font you know, so Joe could see it. Those
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: are the old days. Now it's President Trump every two
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: seconds of press conference, anytime he's walking in the hall,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: anytime the reporter's there, he'll answer questions, He'll talk to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: them on They all have his cell number. They can
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: call him anytime. Hundreds and hundreds of these reporters have
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: his cell number. Even this crazy Joe Scarborough. Right after
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Venezuela or the Greenland stuff started, he said he called
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the President Trump and talked to him for twenty minutes
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: about Greenland. I mean, that's how open he is. He'll
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: talk to Joe Scarborough on the phone for twenty minutes.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: But wherever he is, you immediately can talk to him.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: He'll answer questions. You see, even when he's on the plane,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: he'll come out of the private cabin and answer questions
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: for a half hours. So anyway, the whole thing is
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it's a winning situation in Venezuela. And he talked about that.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: You gotta win the midterms.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Ohay, the midterms. Now this is the other thing. How
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: does this affect the midterms? Well, gas prices will come
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: down even more. They've come down dramatically. Hey, By the way,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it's another side issue. Come down to two fifty a gallon,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: two seventy five a gallon. It was four dollars under
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden. It's now two fifty everywhere except New York
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and except California. It's two fifty everywhere you go in
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the country to seventy five. In New York it's still
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: four dollars four to fifty. California it's five. Nobody is
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you have totally corrupt media, otherwise they'd be all over
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: these two governors at demanding to know why they haven't
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: let the gas prices come down. The reason it hasn't
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: come down here the state will just add taxes to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: make up for it and keep it. So gas prices
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: are way down all over America. With Venezuela. Now we're
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: going to get fifty million gallons immediately of their oil.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: That'll bring down prices even more. A lot of the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: drilling that started to starting to kick in. So also,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: you're going to have the tax cuts take effect now
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: finally since New Year's Day, they're now in effect. People
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to get more money in their paychecks. So that's going
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to help Republicans in the midterm. And it's important.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: You got to win the midterms because if we don't
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: win the midterms, it's just going to be.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there'll be an impeachment a week. But on the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: other hand, when they do there, remember first term was
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: an impeachment once every year, every spring. This will be
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: every month, and then they'll totally devalue the whole idea
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: of impeachment. It will mean nothing after a while. Now,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the only time bomb there is a healthcare costs Obamacare
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: turns out to be totally unworkable. In fact, they called
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: it the Affordable Care Act. All it did was drive
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: prices up like crazy, which was to be expected. Anytime
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you take anything out of the private sector and have
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the government run it, it gets much more expensive. And
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: it got so out of control that they had to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: start giving subsidies to pay for it. It's the Affordable
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Care Act, but it's so unaffordable you have to have
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a government subsidy to be able to afford it. So
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: that expired. Now they're going to have possible you know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: one of those shutdown talks things again at the end
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: of the month. Democrats want to just keep the subsidy
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: going forever, just subsidize it. President Trump, being a logical businessman,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: types as well, why don't we fix it so it
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: actually is affordable. Privatize a lot of it, make it
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: more efficient, get all the crazy, you know, crazy corruption
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and complication out of it, make it simple, and I mean,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that's the logical thing to do, but Democrats don't want that.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: So healthcare will be crucial in the mid terms.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: We could have add healthcare good. De healthcare is go.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Obamacare is bad and the people understand it's bad, and
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: the premiums are horrible.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: But one thing I've learned, I've learned a lot about healthcare.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I found healthcare so sort of like, not of tremendous interest,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: but it was very important.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So again, all day long. You can talk to him.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Reporters can talk to him anytime, ask him anything. Now
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: here's a more important issue. You know how he does
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: that Dan And after there's music, he starts dancing. So
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: he was asked about that. This is interesting. You know,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: his wife, Milanie is a very dignified, very elegant woman,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and there he is dancing, and he was asked about it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: My wife hates when I do this, she said. You know,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: she's a very classy person, right, she said, it's so unpresidential,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: he said, but I did become president somebody she hates
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: when I dance. I said, everybody wants to dance, Darling,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: it's not presidential.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, that's true, but ninety percent of what he
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: does isn't presidential. He breaks all the rules and he
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: knows how to do it and be successful at it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: But I can understand her saying that.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: She actually said, could you imagine FDR dancing? She said
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: that to me, and I said, there's a long history
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: that perhaps she doesn't know because he wasn't good fellow
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: even as a Democrat.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, But again I've known Donald Trump, I don't know,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: thirty five years and the decades before he was president.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: It was all the same thing as a top big
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: business guy in New York real estate, everybody in that world.
