Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Here's more Mark Simone on seven tenor Hey, it's Monday,
- 0:10Speaker 1: but it's a beautiful day. It's going to be a bright,
- 0:12Speaker 1: beautiful sunny day. That's great news. A lot to get
- 0:15Speaker 1: to this hour. So the president, now there's a press
- 0:20Speaker 1: conference coming up in two hours, so this may come
- 0:23Speaker 1: up there. And there's now talk of I remember they
- 0:25Speaker 1: were talking about a ceasefire. We've got negotiations going with
- 0:28Speaker 1: Iran through other countries, through Pakistan, other countries, but there's
- 0:33Speaker 1: and several other countries have joined in trying to put
- 0:35Speaker 1: together a forty five day ceasefire. Forty five day ceasefire.
- 0:40Speaker 1: So now this word, the President may talk about that
- 0:42Speaker 1: a little later and may go along with it. So
- 0:44Speaker 1: you may see some sort of ceasefire, forty five day ceasefire.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Now people, of course the left will go back to
- 0:51Speaker 1: Taco Trump and what about the Hormuz. He didn't get
- 0:55Speaker 1: the straight so hormo soap. And again you got to
- 0:58Speaker 1: keep reminding everybody, Straits of hormuse closed doesn't hurt us
- 1:02Speaker 1: in any way.
- 1:04Speaker 2: We don't get oil from the straits of horm Moose,
- 1:05Speaker 2: We're not using it for anything. Straits of Hormose closed,
- 1:10Speaker 2: hurts Iran more than anybody. It's their only source of
- 1:13Speaker 2: income right now. Selling oil is their only source of income,
- 1:19Speaker 2: and they can't sell any oil with the straits of
- 1:21Speaker 2: Hormuse closed. So the longer it's closed, the more harm
- 1:24Speaker 2: it does Iran. It doesn't do anything to us. We
- 1:28Speaker 2: don't use any oil out of there. Now, you could argue, yeah,
- 1:32Speaker 2: but it brings up the price worldwide and that lifts
- 1:35Speaker 2: the price of our American oil that we use. Yeah,
- 1:37Speaker 2: but it doesn't have to. At any point, President could
- 1:40Speaker 2: just tell the WTI and the other oil producers here
- 1:43Speaker 2: put the price back down. It's easy to do. Again.
- 1:47Speaker 2: We have all the oil we need in this country.
- 1:49Speaker 2: In fact, we have excess oil. We're actually an exporter
- 1:52Speaker 2: now of oil, not depending on the hormoose for anything.
- 1:57Speaker 2: To talk about going after the pre in war crimes.
- 2:01Speaker 2: You can't blow up bridges or power plants. Yes, of
- 2:04Speaker 2: course you can. It's done all the time in every
- 2:06Speaker 2: single war. And we blew up a bridge a week
- 2:08Speaker 2: ago and it was the newest most expensive highest bridge
- 2:15Speaker 2: in Iran. We just blew it up. Now the reason
- 2:18Speaker 2: we actually blew it up, of course, if you're watching NBCCBSABC,
- 2:22Speaker 2: New York Times, CNN. You're not going to know anything
- 2:25Speaker 2: that's really going on. All they showed was, look at
- 2:28Speaker 2: we blew up this beautiful new They just spent zillions
- 2:31Speaker 2: building this bridge and we blew it up. How awful.
- 2:34Speaker 2: What they forgot to tell you was the bridge was
- 2:37Speaker 2: used only by the Republican ar Guard, that Republican Army,
- 2:41Speaker 2: and the bridge was being used to transport weapons and
- 2:45Speaker 2: military stuff. It was not a civilian target. It was
- 2:49Speaker 2: strictly military. The awful, evil Republican Guard only ones using
- 2:54Speaker 2: the bridge, So that's why we took it out. Now
- 2:57Speaker 2: there are more bridges and all that stuff. As far
- 3:00Speaker 2: as shutting off power, why isn't that just going after
- 3:02Speaker 2: the Iranian people. You have to remember in the last
- 3:05Speaker 2: few months they've been without this power and without the
- 3:09Speaker 2: internet many times. Anytime there was rebellion or too much protest,
- 3:14Speaker 2: that's what the government do. Shut off all the power,
- 3:17Speaker 2: shut off the internet, trying to slow that down. So
- 3:21Speaker 2: people in Iran are pretty used to it. The one
- 3:25Speaker 2: o'clock press conference will also go into detail about the
- 3:29Speaker 2: rescue operation. It was absolutely dazzling. Now for younger people,
- 3:33Speaker 2: they don't remember how this all started. In nineteen seventy nine,
- 3:40Speaker 2: Iran took hundreds of Americans hostage, our embassy people they
- 3:46Speaker 2: captured and took them hostage. And it was Jimmy Carter
- 3:50Speaker 2: who was president, who was almost as bad as Biden,
- 3:53Speaker 2: totally ineffective. Carter, just like a lot of Democrats, you know,
- 3:59Speaker 2: tried to appease's Iran. We'll send you money, we'll try
- 4:02Speaker 2: to be nice to you. Just let our hostage. That
- 4:04Speaker 2: stuff doesn't work with Iran, and think about that. For
- 4:10Speaker 2: it was a year they had hundreds of Americans being
- 4:13Speaker 2: held hostage in Iran. And every night ABC at eleven thirty,
- 4:22Speaker 2: besides all the other news coverage, ABC, every night at
- 4:25Speaker 2: eleven thirty would put on this guy named Ted Copple,
- 4:28Speaker 2: who people didn't know yet, to do a full report
- 4:31Speaker 2: every single night, every weeknight about the Iran hostages. And
- 4:35Speaker 2: he would come on and say this is day twenty seven,
- 4:38Speaker 2: and then he would come on and say this is
- 4:40Speaker 2: day two hundred and thirty six, and then that nightly
- 4:43Speaker 2: eleven thirty thing. Once the hostages were released, it was
- 4:45Speaker 2: finally Reagan got elected and Reagan got the hostages released.
- 4:50Speaker 2: But what about that eleven thirty show. Well, they changed
- 4:53Speaker 2: the name to Nightline and had it continue. That's how
- 4:55Speaker 2: Nightline started. But during this hostage crisis, at one point
- 4:59Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter tried to rescue them and he sent in
- 5:03Speaker 2: a bunch of commandos in helicopters. Now, the difference here
- 5:08Speaker 2: is the hostage were being held in a more urban area,
- 5:12Speaker 2: so it was the most bungled military operation ever. Carter
- 5:18Speaker 2: sent in special forces in these helicopters. They landed and
- 5:21Speaker 2: tried to get to the embassy, but they didn't know
- 5:24Speaker 2: what the hell they were doing. It was democrats trying
- 5:26Speaker 2: to run the military. They didn't know. Where they landed
- 5:29Speaker 2: was in the middle of the marketplace that's open, and
- 5:31Speaker 2: they thought it was the middle of the night. They
- 5:32Speaker 2: didn't realize the markets open all night, plenty of people there.
- 5:36Speaker 2: They saw the soldiers, Our soldiers were captured, killed, paraded
- 5:40Speaker 2: through the streets. It was just humiliating for the United States.
- 5:44Speaker 2: So all these years later, and that's forty seven years ago,
- 5:49Speaker 2: all these years later, and most incredible rescue operation just
- 5:53Speaker 2: took place. Now you got to ran threatening everything. They're
- 5:57Speaker 2: threatening to escalate, Well, I don't know, I mean, if
- 6:00Speaker 2: they could escalate, they would have done it already. They've
- 6:03Speaker 2: done as much bad stuff as they can. They've been
- 6:06Speaker 2: firing missiles into Dubai, Kuwait, Israel, and they've been aiming
- 6:10Speaker 2: at apartment buildings, they've been aiming at hotels, they've been
- 6:14Speaker 2: trying to kill civilians. You know the president. If you're
- 6:18Speaker 2: watching all the crazy news, fake news talking about the
- 6:21Speaker 2: President's threatening war crimes, war crimes, keeping in this phrase
- 6:24Speaker 2: war crimes, here's Iran for the last three four weeks
- 6:28Speaker 2: deliberately bombing hotels and apartment buildings. And you haven't heard
- 6:32Speaker 2: any of these same fake news people ever ever ever
- 6:37Speaker 2: mentioned the words war crimes with those incidents, never ever
- 6:40Speaker 2: ever mentioned it. If you were watching Saturday Night Live,
- 6:44Speaker 2: and I doubt you were, hardly anybody does anymore SNL.
- 6:49Speaker 2: There was one joke people are talking about when they
- 6:52Speaker 2: do that fake newscast, one sick joke. They made a
- 6:56Speaker 2: joke about Trump getting assassinated. You remember last week President
- 7:00Speaker 2: Trump went to the Kennedy Center to see the Broadway
- 7:03Speaker 2: musical Chicago. And so the two fake newscasters said, yeah,
- 7:10Speaker 2: I think that's cool. The president is going to the theater.
- 7:14Speaker 2: President going to a theater. What's the worst that could happen.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Of course they're referring to Lincoln being assassinated in the theater,
- 7:21Speaker 2: So it's a joke about the president being assassinated while
- 7:24Speaker 2: Saturday Night Live. The audience started laughing like crazy, and
- 7:28Speaker 2: then they started cheering like crazy, and then applauding like crazy.
- 7:32Speaker 2: So they're cheering and applauding President Trump getting assassinated. It
- 7:37Speaker 2: was a little sick. Then they cut to the other
- 7:40Speaker 2: fake newscaster who's given this mischievous smile. So it's a
- 7:44Speaker 2: sick thing to joke about. Even sicker when it's a
- 7:48Speaker 2: president who just survived two assassination attempts, two assassination attempts,
- 7:53Speaker 2: and they're joking about it. Hey stole a lot of
- 7:56Speaker 2: Epstein fall out everywhere. It's a shrink. He's some sort
- 8:04Speaker 2: of psychiatrist. He's also a billionaire. He made a lot
- 8:06Speaker 2: of money. I think he created movie phone. Remember that
- 8:09Speaker 2: movie phone? Your kids today you wouldn't know about that.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Back in the good old days in the nineties, you
- 8:15Speaker 2: had to call a phone number to find out what
- 8:18Speaker 2: movie was playing. Where we didn't have a smartphone or
- 8:22Speaker 2: any apps. You had to call movie phone but he
- 8:24Speaker 2: sold it at to Google somebody who somebody bought it
- 8:28Speaker 2: for a fortune, so he made a lot of money.
- 8:30Speaker 2: But apparently he's very good friends with Epstein, and he's
- 8:34Speaker 2: always all over the news on the weekend. For you know,
- 8:38Speaker 2: some of these people in the Epstein files, the emails
- 8:40Speaker 2: back and forth, they're not so bad. But with some
- 8:42Speaker 2: of them, like this guy, it's pretty bad. It's all
- 8:45Speaker 2: about women, it's all about the island, it's all. It's
- 8:48Speaker 2: pretty obvious. So the good news for him, he's not
- 8:53Speaker 2: well known. Nobody knows who the hell he is, so
- 8:54Speaker 2: it got a big article New York Post, a couple
- 8:57Speaker 2: other places Daily or The Guardian or something like that,
- 9:01Speaker 2: and then you won't hear about it. Again. There's a
- 9:03Speaker 2: couple of people that are really bad, really bad in
- 9:06Speaker 2: the Epstein files. Now there's a couple that I know,
- 9:08Speaker 2: one guy in particular, who always bragged everybody Epstein is
- 9:12Speaker 2: the closest friend I've ever had, And if you read
- 9:14Speaker 2: the emails, really disgusting. It's all about the women, it's
- 9:18Speaker 2: all this. Luckily, nobody in the world knows who the
- 9:20Speaker 2: hell this guy is. He's so unknown, it gets no attention,
- 9:24Speaker 2: so it gets lucky there, nobody knows. Nobody's going to
- 9:28Speaker 2: write about him. Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson turn up
- 9:33Speaker 2: in the Epstein files. Now, Sarah Ferguson looks like she
- 9:37Speaker 2: was just taking money from Epstein, doing stuff with Epstein.
- 9:40Speaker 2: But with the case of Prince Andrew, looks like he
- 9:42Speaker 2: was involved not only with the women, but with the
- 9:44Speaker 2: young girls. Most of the people involved with Epstein and women,
- 9:48Speaker 2: it was not young girls, it was not underage That
- 9:51Speaker 2: was just Epstein personally that's what he liked, and maybe
- 9:54Speaker 2: a couple of his friends. It looks like Prince Andrew
- 9:56Speaker 2: was also involved with the underage girls. So they had
- 10:00Speaker 2: the big Easter. As big a thing as it is
- 10:02Speaker 2: in the United States, it's much bigger in Great Britain
- 10:06Speaker 2: and the Royal family at Easter. Why that's such an
- 10:08Speaker 2: important Well, it turns out Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson
- 10:13Speaker 2: were excluded from the Royal Family's Easter gathering. They were
- 10:17Speaker 2: barred from it. Prince Andrew instead was seen at his
- 10:23Speaker 2: sand Dringham estate driving around in his range Rover, and
- 10:27Speaker 2: then was out with his two corgies. The two dogs
- 10:29Speaker 2: they were out in the field had taken a walk
- 10:32Speaker 2: while the rest of the family, the royal family gathered,
- 10:36Speaker 2: and he was totally totally ostracized. Now, so that's it
- 10:41Speaker 2: for him. Still got to worry about criminal charges and
- 10:45Speaker 2: all of that kind of stuff. So the President with
- 10:49Speaker 2: the tweet with the F word, all of that got
- 10:52Speaker 2: a lot of people going crazy. Stephen A. Smith, Alex Jones,
- 10:58Speaker 2: They're all yelling and screaming. You can't talk like this.
- 11:00Speaker 2: You can't. This is a clown show, said Joe. Can
- 11:03Speaker 2: you imagine Alex Jones calling you a clown politico? It's disgraceful.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Now listen, as I keep explaining, he does this deliberately.
- 11:16Speaker 2: And if you think, well, this is no way to negotiate,
- 11:19Speaker 2: you can't say that. This guy's the master negotiator. He's
- 11:22Speaker 2: been in the most roughest, toughest negotiations for forty years.
- 11:26Speaker 2: He's Babe Ruth when it comes to negotiating. So you
- 11:32Speaker 2: can't argument. But here's all the political said, this is
- 11:35Speaker 2: no way to talk. Jonathan K. Part On ms NOW,
- 11:40Speaker 2: The twenty fifth Amendment should be invoked ms now, that's
- 11:44Speaker 2: MSNBC ms NOW. Senior medical analyst, doctor Vin Gupta believes
- 11:50Speaker 2: President Trump is showing all signs of dementia. Now, of course,
- 11:54Speaker 2: if you check the record, this same Vin Gupta said,
- 11:57Speaker 2: Joe Biden, he looks fine, he looks wow, he looks sharp. Mediaite.
- 12:02Speaker 2: I love media Eite, but it's a real far left,
- 12:05Speaker 2: totally partisan biased website. Democrats questioned Trump's mental fitness ramp
- 12:12Speaker 2: up twenty fifth Amendment push after the president's utterly unhinged
- 12:18Speaker 2: ran tweet. It doesn't it didn't look unhinged, looked like
- 12:22Speaker 2: he was mad. I mean, just because the guy uses
- 12:25Speaker 2: the F word. Hey, By the way, every president uses
- 12:28Speaker 2: that F word more than Trump, if you're in private
- 12:31Speaker 2: with him, if you got the door closed and there's
- 12:34Speaker 2: no microphones and cameras. Obama used the F word like crazy.
- 12:38Speaker 2: Joe Biden all the time. In fact, remember Joe Biden
- 12:41Speaker 2: used it on television a couple of times. George Bush,
- 12:45Speaker 2: Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan. The F word was flying around. Hey,
- 12:50Speaker 2: go back and listen to the Nixon tapes. The F
- 12:53Speaker 2: word is every sentence. You know. There's a John F.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Kennedy tapes. Do you ever listened to the Kennedy tapes?
- 13:00Speaker 2: Go go on YouTube and type in John f. Kennedy
- 13:02Speaker 2: phone calls. There's a lot of these tapes to him
- 13:05Speaker 2: on the phone. The F word is flying out of
- 13:07Speaker 2: his mouth left and right. They're great tapes to listen to. Hey,
- 13:12Speaker 2: the Trump administration is fighting to get that ballroom project
- 13:16Speaker 2: going again. The crazy judge. There's always a crazy court
- 13:21Speaker 2: of appeals, district courts circuit, always a crazy left wing
- 13:25Speaker 2: judge to shut down everything. So they shut down the listed.
- 13:28Speaker 2: They can't build the ballroom. You got to stop. The
- 13:30Speaker 2: appeal is underway. Twenty seven page motion filed Friday. In
- 13:36Speaker 2: the motion, the lawyers Justice Department lawyers argue that the
- 13:40Speaker 2: ballroom is also necessary. By stopping construction, you're putting national
- 13:46Speaker 2: security at risk, the lives of the White House staffers
- 13:50Speaker 2: and family endanger. Now what do they mean by it
- 13:52Speaker 2: sounds a little a little hyperbolic, But they explained that
- 13:56Speaker 2: part of the ballroom they didn't want to make this
- 13:59Speaker 2: two public. But underneath the ballroom they were building bunkers
- 14:03Speaker 2: to defend against hostile attacks. They were building all sorts
- 14:07Speaker 2: of situation room type stuff, secret stuff, a hospital and
- 14:11Speaker 2: medical area. You know in the White House there's a
- 14:14Speaker 2: little medical office. If you're the president or anybody in
- 14:17Speaker 2: the White House you suddenly gets sick. There's a doctor,
- 14:20Speaker 2: actually two doctors are in that medical office, and they
- 14:23Speaker 2: got a lot of equipment in there. Fully equipped medical office.
- 14:25Speaker 2: You can run right over there, or in the President
- 14:29Speaker 2: Sometimes when you come into the Oval office and you're
- 14:30Speaker 2: coughing too much, he'll say, go to the medical office
- 14:35Speaker 2: right now, go see the doctor right and then you
- 14:37Speaker 2: walk down the hall and you're in a medical office
- 14:39Speaker 2: getting examined. So they were going to expand that, build
- 14:43Speaker 2: a much more elaborate medical office, you know, more equipment,
- 14:47Speaker 2: you know, like cat scan all that kind of stuff
- 14:50Speaker 2: in there, and a whole medical area. There was going
- 14:53Speaker 2: to be all sorts of top secret military installations, structures, equipment.
- 14:57Speaker 2: So that's going to be part of the appeal. Hey,
- 14:59Speaker 2: we'll take some call in a minute. Eight hundred three
- 15:02Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten is the number. Give me
- 15:05Speaker 2: a call if you have never called before. We like
- 15:06Speaker 2: some new callers. We got a lot of our regular
- 15:08Speaker 2: callers were great, But if you're a new caller eight
- 15:11Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten, that's the problem.
- 15:15Speaker 2: A lot of people don't know the number eight hundred
- 15:18Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten,
