  Speaker 2: an instance.

  Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simon show on wor.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to a bill
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: in New Jersey. Bill, how you doing?
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: Hello?
• 0:21
  Speaker 5: Mark?
• 0:22
  Speaker 6: You know I just heard Mandami Belly aching about funding.
• 0:25
  Speaker 6: We need this, we need that, we need money. Without it,
• 0:28
  Speaker 6: we're going to collapse. And it reminds me of all
• 0:31
  Speaker 6: in the Family Day's TV show when they sang everybody
• 0:36
  Speaker 6: pulled their weight, and back when I grew up, everybody
• 0:39
  Speaker 6: pulled their weight. There were no bloodsucking people for the
• 0:42
  Speaker 6: most part. But I'm thinking how did all this happen?
• 0:45
  Speaker 6: And I'm thinking about you know, in the eighties, crack
• 0:48
  Speaker 6: became very big, Cocaine became very big, and you had
• 0:52
  Speaker 6: these crack moms having babies. Now the thirty five, forty
• 0:56
  Speaker 6: five years old, they don't work, they want to bloodshot
• 0:59
  Speaker 6: more money, and it comes down to give us more,
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: give us more. What the hell happened?
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Mark? Well, it's a lot of things all at once.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: First of all, you had these universities that over the
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: last few decades became so left wing. They became these
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: socialist and doctrination camps. Then you had fake news just
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: get more and more and more corrupt, covering everything up.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: And then you had the Democratic Party shift from the
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: party of the working class to U Let's get everybody
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: on marijuana, on weed, Let's get everybody on welfare, Let's
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: get everybody on government programs. That way, they'll be obligated
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to us, they'll vote for us. It was just all
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: this stuff coming together. How do you fix it? I
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, can you imagine if Donald Trump
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: wasn't there this tough street fighter battling this. Imagine if
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: you had a tame, mild politician trying to fight this.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Pete and Marlborough. Pete, how you doing.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I'm doing well, Mark.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: I have a question.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all these people, let Tisia James call me. When
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: are they going to be prosecuted? I don't understand, or
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: when are they going to go to trial? They keep
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: on delaying this, and you know, I'm sure was frustrated
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: with BONDI.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't think it's the problem with Letitia James.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: They keep going in these left wing courts and they
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: don't delay the case gets tossed out, so they keep
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: looking at other cases they're trying. It's not easy, you know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: it's it's a pretty slanted legal system too. Call me
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: definitely a slimy guy, but you're right, so far, they
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: haven't actually made any progress on any of these. Let's
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: go to John in New York. John, how you doing?
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Mark? A quick question. You know, I'm a Trump supporter,
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: as you know, and I just I know how I
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: know that. Well, I am question. Why did President Trump
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: put his name on the Kennedy Center. I mean, I'm
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: with Trump on ninety nine percent of the issues, but
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: I don't agree with slapping your name sitting president.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Well, he didn't do it. He didn't do it. The
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: board of the Kennedy Center voted to do it. Now,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: it's mostly a frenzy iss who were appointed to the board,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: But I think one reason they wanted to do it
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: was they didn't realize this until they got there. The
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Kennedy Center was in total disrepair, crumbling, the building in
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: total decay. Trump came in and fixed it, turned it around.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: That's why they wanted to do that for him. Does
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: that help?
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Thank you? Mark?
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Okact So it's a little of noxious to go put
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: your name on everything, but that's Trump. He's been doing
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: it all his life. Every building was Trump tower, Trump Palace,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Trump this, Trump that. It's a little of noxious, but
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: it's it's the Trump style. Well, let's go to Bob
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: in Montvale, New Jersey.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Bob, how you doing hanging in there? Mark? Thanks? You
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: noticed Lakewood School District story will never make you know
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: News twelve at a Bergen Record.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: What what story you're talking about?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Lakewood School System was taken over by so Mercy today
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: because they are bankrupt now in New Jersey here fifty.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I hate to break it to you, this is not
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the most exciting story. That's why it doesn't get that
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: much publicity.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Well, it will be in New Jersey when we pay
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the tax.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Well all right, but you know there might be something
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: going on in Ice Loup Long Island. That's a big
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: thing there. But it's not going to be a big story.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Oh did he hang up? He hung up? He don't
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I hurt your feelings. I don't mean it. It's just
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: you know, in the newspaper, in the newsroom of the
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: TV networks, they have these editorial board meetings where you're
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: come in and you pitch stories, and when you pitch this,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: the room does not light up at the thought of
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: this story. It's not that exciting. Let's go to lou
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: In Queen's lou How you doing?
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: And Mark?
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: I think I love Steve Moore. I mean I agree
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: with his economic opinions on a lot of stuff. But
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: you know, I think you and I are right. I
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: think the credit card company should have a cap on
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: their interest rates which charge.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean that's my but what the hell
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: do I know? I mean, Steve Moore is a more
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: of an expert on this. You could put a cap
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: on how much interest they can charge, But then what
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: that would mean. The effect would be they wouldn't give
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: credit cards to a lot of people, a lot less
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: people would be able to get a credit card, and
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: it would have a bad effect on us if it'd
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: be mostly the lower and lower income people that couldn't
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: get a credit card, and it would have a negative effect.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: So again, we're not expert. Steve Moore actually is can
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: do all the big calculations on this. Hey, when we
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: come back, Jimmy Fayla will be with us. One of
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: our favorite moments of the week, Jimmy Fayla every Thursday.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: We'll talk to him next on seven to ten wor
