0:00
Speaker 1: This is seven, tor Boy, The Mark Simoon Show starts now. Ay,
0:10
Speaker 1: well it's Thursday already. This has been a long week.
0:13
Speaker 1: I think it's the weathers. This makes us a depressing,
0:16
Speaker 1: awful week. Anyway, we got a lot to get to today.
0:19
Speaker 1: We'll get to Alex pretty new video emerging showing what
0:22
Speaker 1: a horrible guy this guy is. We'll get to that.
0:26
Speaker 1: We'll get to a possible government shutdown coming very soon.
0:30
Speaker 1: We'll get to the President what he's up to today.
0:32
Speaker 1: We'll get to the Hall of Fame not voting Belichick in.
0:36
Speaker 1: We'll get to the horrible anti Semitic attacks that have
0:40
Speaker 1: been taking place over the last couple of days and
0:42
Speaker 1: what's going to be done about it. We'll get to
0:45
Speaker 1: mayor mom Donnie. The budget crisis. Oh, I don't know.
0:49
Speaker 1: I mean, you got a major, multi billion dollar budget crisis.
0:55
Speaker 1: Is this kid the guy you'd want to figure it out?
0:57
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Okay, here's the lad in Minneapolis.
1:01
Speaker 1: Tom Holman held a press conference this morning which impressed everybody,
1:07
Speaker 1: his tone, his content, calming the situation down. Holman has
1:12
Speaker 1: been in Minneapolis meeting with the mayor, the governor, police chiefs.
1:15
Speaker 1: He's got more police chiefs to meet today, and he
1:19
Speaker 1: explained it very slowly and carefully. If a lot of
1:22
Speaker 1: people saw this, it's going to help calm things down.
1:26
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people saw it, but it
1:28
Speaker 1: was broadcast live, even on CNN, even on MSNBC or
1:34
Speaker 1: whatever the hell it's called now. Holman explaining that ICE
1:38
Speaker 1: does this all over the country in many many cities
1:41
Speaker 1: and many many states, and in all those places it's
1:44
Speaker 1: done peacefully, orderly, and that's because they have the full
1:48
Speaker 1: cooperation of the locals. And in most of those places
1:52
Speaker 1: they have a much smaller footprint and you know, less agents,
1:57
Speaker 1: just a smaller group. And he explained that in Minneapolis
2:01
Speaker 1: it could have had a much, much, much smaller group
2:03
Speaker 1: of agents there, of vice officers, but because the locals
2:08
Speaker 1: won't cooperate, he had to send a lot more people.
2:11
Speaker 1: In other words, and explain this carefully. If it takes
2:14
Speaker 1: twenty guys to go do the arresting of people, you
2:17
Speaker 1: send twenty people and that's it. If there's going to
2:21
Speaker 1: be no police on the ground anywhere to assist, now
2:25
Speaker 1: you've got to send another thirty or forty or fifty
2:28
Speaker 1: to take care of crowd control. Because you're going to
2:31
Speaker 1: get these screaming, angry, nutjob protesters. And in any situation,
2:36
Speaker 1: the police keep the protesters on that side of the
2:39
Speaker 1: street where they're free to yell and wave their signs
2:44
Speaker 1: and blow their whistles. But if you take the police
2:47
Speaker 1: away and the barricades away, nothing stops the protesters for
2:50
Speaker 1: just going physically after the law enforcement and confronting them.
2:55
Speaker 1: That's what happened on January sixth. If they had done
2:58
Speaker 1: what the President said, had the ten thousand troops guarding
3:02
Speaker 1: the capitol, the protesters would have been held way back,
3:05
Speaker 1: would have never gotten anywhere near the capitol. But without
3:08
Speaker 1: any of the troops, you just had the building security
3:11
Speaker 1: guys there. The capitol police, you know, they're not trained
3:14
Speaker 1: for controlling a mob of four hundred thousand people. So
3:19
Speaker 1: protesters were able to get into the capitol, overrun the place,
3:22
Speaker 1: physically confront the law enforcement. That's when you have disaster,
3:25
Speaker 1: and that's what happened in Minneapolis. They deliberately withdrew all
3:29
Speaker 1: the police. These guys. Ice guys were alone on the
3:32
Speaker 1: street confronted physically by the mob. So it's home and
3:36
Speaker 1: explained they're going to have to have the local police
3:39
Speaker 1: step in control the protesting, keep it peaceful, keep it nonviolent. So,
3:46
Speaker 1: in other words, protesters can't drive their car into an officer,
3:50
Speaker 1: they can't wrestle with an officer, they can't physically confront them.
3:54
Speaker 1: Now new videos come out of pretty which is pretty shocking.
3:58
Speaker 1: You know, the media spent two three days explaining to
4:01
Speaker 1: you he's a gentleman, he's a nurse. He tweets people
4:05
Speaker 1: he's a carrying, gentle sweet nurse. Well, this new video
4:11
Speaker 1: makes him look like a raging nutjob. If you didn't
4:16
Speaker 1: know anything about this incident, if somebody just showed you
4:18
Speaker 1: this video and say, hey, look at here's a road
4:19
Speaker 1: rage incident, you think this guy should be in a
4:22
Speaker 1: metal institution. He's driving by, he sees ice officers arresting somebody,
4:29
Speaker 1: so he stops his car, slams on the brinks, jumps out,
4:33
Speaker 1: starts calling him all kinds of names. I think if
4:35
Speaker 1: you go to my Twitter you can find the one
4:36
Speaker 1: with the audio. We can't play it on the air
4:39
Speaker 1: because it's all F mother, F this, mother, F that,
4:43
Speaker 1: and he's screaming at the police, come on, arrest me,
4:45
Speaker 1: assault me, you mother. It's really vile. Can't play it
4:49
Speaker 1: on the air. But he then goes after the car,
4:56
Speaker 1: the ice vehicle. He starts a firsty, he spits at
5:00
Speaker 1: the ice officer, he spits at the vehicle. Then he
5:03
Speaker 1: starts kicking the vehicle. And I got to give him credit,
5:06
Speaker 1: he's pretty good at that kicking, because he kicked it
5:08
Speaker 1: hard enough to completely destroy the tail light. Not just
5:11
Speaker 1: smash the glass on it, but he knocked the whole
5:14
Speaker 1: everything out of the car, leaving a big hole in
5:17
Speaker 1: the back of the car. Again on my Twitter you
5:19
Speaker 1: can see the video. So he's damaged this car. Now
5:22
Speaker 1: it's undrivable, no tail light and a big hole in
5:26
Speaker 1: the back. And the officers now stop, get him out.
5:29
Speaker 1: They wrestle him to the ground, and I don't know why,
5:33
Speaker 1: but they didn't arrest him. He committed a terrible crime there,
5:36
Speaker 1: vandalizing this vehicle, but they didn't arrest him. They let
5:40
Speaker 1: him go. They diffused the situation. They were very surprisingly tolerant.
5:46
Speaker 1: They let him go. They should have arrested him there.
5:49
Speaker 1: They should have arrested him and had him locked up.
5:51
Speaker 1: Maybe that way his life would be saved, because he
5:53
Speaker 1: wouldn't be back on the street to do this. Stuff.
5:56
Speaker 1: So he's a very violent, out of control, raging sort
6:01
Speaker 1: of a guy. The videos are all over the place. Now,
6:03
Speaker 1: you know the shooting video, you've seen that a million
6:06
Speaker 1: times on mainstream news. But this video of him raging
6:10
Speaker 1: out of control damaging the vehicle, of course you don't see.
6:13
Speaker 1: You see that once and then they don't show it again. Now,
6:16
Speaker 1: Holman also explained this Ice operation, it's perfectly legal. In fact,
6:20
Speaker 1: it's an operation to enforce the law, and Holman pointing
6:25
Speaker 1: out it's what America voted for. America voted for this,
6:29
Speaker 1: to have the illegals rounded up and taken out removed,
6:33
Speaker 1: especially the criminal ones. America voted for this. This is
6:36
Speaker 1: what they're doing. So it was a pretty good press conference.
6:42
Speaker 1: You'll see it throughout the day today. There's a cabinet
6:45
Speaker 1: meeting a little later. This couple hours, President will hold
6:49
Speaker 1: a cabinet meeting. I'm sure he'll go on at length
6:51
Speaker 1: about all this. Everybody's gonna be looking to see where
6:55
Speaker 1: Christy nom is in the cabinet meeting, if she gets
6:57
Speaker 1: to speak, and if the President as he goes around
7:00
Speaker 1: the room defends her, she's under fire right now. A
7:03
Speaker 1: lot of people calling for her to be fired. She's
7:06
Speaker 1: been sidelined. Knowing the president when Hexath was in a
7:10
Speaker 1: lot of trouble there, he'll probably do the same thing.
7:12
Speaker 1: You'll praise him, give him praise, givem a pat on
7:14
Speaker 1: the back. But keeping quiet. Now there's a lot going on.
7:20
Speaker 1: There's the talk of a shutdown, maybe this weekend, maybe Monday.
7:23
Speaker 1: The good thing is the snowstorm has affected Washington, d C.
7:27
Speaker 1: In a lot of places, so most of these congress
7:29
Speaker 1: people cannot get back to Washington or don't want to
7:32
Speaker 1: get back to Washington, so that may delay things. The
7:34
Speaker 1: shutdown would be over ICE defunding ICE, defunding Homeland Security.
7:41
Speaker 1: Now you can't really do that because if it defund
7:43
Speaker 1: homeland security, that's a lot of other things. That's the TSA.
7:47
Speaker 1: There's too many things in there. You can't just defund it.
7:49
Speaker 1: So they'll fight about certain things. You'll see Schumer with
7:53
Speaker 1: the glasses no longer the Ben Franklin glasses now the
7:56
Speaker 1: big swifty Lazar glasses, the big cl Kent glasses. And
8:02
Speaker 1: you know he gets all esteemed. It's the video of
8:04
Speaker 1: him yesterday or the day before using the F word,
8:07
Speaker 1: trying to sound tough, but it's great to way what
8:10
Speaker 1: he gets all riled up. The glasses are fogging up.
8:13
Speaker 1: Here's Schumer yesterday.
8:14
Speaker 2: But we also realized that this puts our democracy at risk.
8:19
Speaker 1: It's a force of thuggery.
8:21
Speaker 2: The federal government is supporting a large force of thuggery.
8:25
Speaker 2: Can we really worry about its consequences for America if
8:28
Speaker 2: we don't rain them in.
8:30
Speaker 1: This guy is the worst actor ever. You can give
8:32
Speaker 1: them any dialogue and he can make it boring anything,
8:36
Speaker 1: and he could put you asleep. So they'll fight about
8:39
Speaker 1: things with to avoid the shutdown. They'll fight about ice
8:43
Speaker 1: and changes, big changes. Now. One of the things democrats
8:47
Speaker 1: want is no masks. They have to take the masks off.
8:50
Speaker 1: Now that's probably not going to happen. There's a compromise
8:52
Speaker 1: the government has proposed. They'll keep the mask, but each
8:55
Speaker 1: one will have a number on them, an identifying number.
8:58
Speaker 1: So if you want to report for anything, you just
9:01
Speaker 1: give the number and the government can look up exactly
9:04
Speaker 1: who the guy is. The reason for the masks is
9:07
Speaker 1: these crazy lunatics. If they can see the face, we'll
9:11
Speaker 1: try to identify the person and then go terrorize their
9:14
Speaker 1: family in their homes. So that's the reason for the masks.
9:19
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert shocked a lot of people last night making
9:24
Speaker 1: a joke about He started talking about you, you know, calling
9:28
Speaker 1: these people Nazis, calling them Nazis, and he played clips
9:30
Speaker 1: of everybody calling them Nazis, and then Colbert said something
9:33
Speaker 1: to the effect of, that's wrong to compare them the Nazis.
9:38
Speaker 1: The Nazis didn't wear a mask. Give the Nazis credit.
9:41
Speaker 1: They didn't wear a mask. They showed their faces. In
9:43
Speaker 1: other words, he was praising the Nazis over Ice, which
9:47
Speaker 1: is horrible, horrible thing to say. It's trivializing the Holocaust.
9:53
Speaker 1: It's praising the Nazis. It's given them credit for something,
9:57
Speaker 1: and trivializing the Holocaust is always a sign of real
10:00
Speaker 1: serious anti Semitism. Colbert getting a lot of backlash. He's
10:04
Speaker 1: already fired, so there's not much they can do to him.
10:07
Speaker 1: Speaking of anti Semitism, we've had a couple of horrible,
10:10
Speaker 1: horrible incidents in the last couple of days. There was
10:14
Speaker 1: a rabbi walking down the street wearing a yamaka and
10:19
Speaker 1: a guy comes up and starts screaming the worst anti
10:22
Speaker 1: semitic and then attacks the rabbi. Knocks from the ground,
10:26
Speaker 1: beats him up. Here's the rabbit.
10:27
Speaker 3: I just said, it cannot happen like this. I must
10:31
Speaker 3: fight back, and I just give him back. And I
10:33
Speaker 3: found myself into a fight. I never you know, I'm
10:36
Speaker 3: not a fight I'm a rabbi. And I found myself
10:40
Speaker 3: falling in the floor, in the snow, getting punched.
10:43
Speaker 1: In horrible, horrible incident. And then in the Hubbad Center,
10:47
Speaker 1: the Lubavic Center in Brooklyn, Crown Heights, Brooklyn, attacked by
10:51
Speaker 1: a guy in a car at the entrance. He comes up,
10:56
Speaker 1: as he said, if he's driving up to the entrance,
10:58
Speaker 1: then he tries to drive through it, smash it. Then
11:00
Speaker 1: he pulls his car back and then goes forward again,
11:03
Speaker 1: trying to smash it over and over and over again.
11:06
Speaker 1: A lot of police patrolling that center, and luckily they
11:09
Speaker 1: were close by. They got the guy, pulled him out
11:11
Speaker 1: of the car. Here's the news report. Yes, this is
11:15
Speaker 1: a witness.
11:15
Speaker 4: He's yelling at the boys to move out the way
11:18
Speaker 4: as they were standing in the driveway, and he pulls
11:21
Speaker 4: his car in and then he starts ramming the building,
11:25
Speaker 4: driving in, reversing, driving in again, just driving in and out.
11:28
Speaker 4: Did it about five times straight away. Boys ran to
11:30
Speaker 4: there's a police unit parked outside the main entrance to
11:33
Speaker 4: the building and around the police came and pulled him
11:37
Speaker 4: out of the car, arrested him. It was about six
11:39
Speaker 4: foot long hair. He was just in his wearing a shirt,
11:42
Speaker 4: but just underwear.
11:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, how cold it was yesterday it was like windchill
11:49
Speaker 1: minus six. He's just in this underwear. So obviously a
11:53
Speaker 1: raging nut anti Semite. Something's got to be done about this.
11:56
Speaker 1: It's out of control. You know, you always hear about
11:59
Speaker 1: the Muslim community. I checked with police officials. There's no
12:03
Speaker 1: attacks anywhere on the Muslim community. It's all anti Semitic attacks,
12:07
Speaker 1: all anti Semitic attacks all over in New York. It's
12:11
Speaker 1: got to stop. The Police Commissioner held a press conference
12:14
Speaker 1: denouncing all this and announcing the arrest, and Mamdannie stood
12:17
Speaker 1: with her and then spoke about the horrible anti semitism
12:21
Speaker 1: and his tone was right, his words were right. Let's
12:23
Speaker 1: hope he meant it. Here's the good news. We have
12:27
Speaker 1: a new City Council speaker who runs the city council,
12:31
Speaker 1: Speaker of the City Council, and that's a very big job.
12:33
Speaker 1: The city council speaker has as much power as a
12:37
Speaker 1: mayor in doing things in New York. Well, the new
12:39
Speaker 1: City Council speaker, Julie Menin, we had a luncheon for
12:43
Speaker 1: her yesterday. I talked to her yesterday. She's great. Julie
12:46
Speaker 1: men In, new City council speaker, the first Jewish I believe,
12:51
Speaker 1: I think Jewish city council speaker. And she has already
12:55
Speaker 1: announced she's forming an anti Semitism task force. They will
13:00
Speaker 1: have they'll have a lot of power to do things
13:02
Speaker 1: all over the city about anti Semitism, including holding hearings
13:06
Speaker 1: and holding people accountable. So that's the goodness. And she's
13:09
Speaker 1: a she's a Democrat, but she's a very very moderate
13:13
Speaker 1: conservative Democrat, very common sense So whatever whatever Mom Donnie
13:18
Speaker 1: tries to do, she can help counter it. So you
13:21
Speaker 1: got some balance there. It's very important to remember you
13:23
Speaker 1: got a city council speaker who's the opposite of Mom Donnie. Hey,
13:28
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, it's not getting to the Hall of Fame.
13:31
Speaker 1: Everybody yelling and screaming about it. Some major names are
13:35
Speaker 1: now not coming to the ceremony as a result of
13:37
Speaker 1: Belichick being snubbed. Tom Brady can't believe it.
13:42
Speaker 5: I don't understand it. I mean, I was with them
13:44
Speaker 5: every day. If he's not a first ball of Hall
13:46
Speaker 5: of Famer, there's really no coach that should ever be.
13:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, if you win six Super Bowls and you
13:52
Speaker 1: can't get in, what the hell do you have to
13:54
Speaker 1: do to get in? Now? Some people say, what would
13:57
Speaker 1: what would be the reason they would snubb? Some say, well,
13:59
Speaker 1: the cheating. Okay, there was some cheating with the Patriots,
14:04
Speaker 1: stealing signals, playing around with the inflation on the ball,
14:07
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But I'm sure it happens all
14:10
Speaker 1: over the place. But they think that might be the reason.
14:12
Speaker 6: They didn't think that someone who had run a year's
14:15
Speaker 6: long cheating operation should.
14:17
Speaker 7: Get into the Hall of Fame in his first year
14:19
Speaker 7: of eligibility.
14:21
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Without the cheating, they
14:24
Speaker 1: would do just fine. Hey, Jimmy Johnson says he's not
14:27
Speaker 1: coming to the ceremony. Had chartered a plane he was
14:30
Speaker 1: going to go there. He said, to hell with it,
14:32
Speaker 1: I'm not going this year. Belichick should have been automatic.
14:37
Speaker 1: So hey, Sunday, there's a chance of what they call
14:41
Speaker 1: a bomb cyclone. This is snow now, it's probably not
14:46
Speaker 1: that bad snow wise. At the worst it will be
14:48
Speaker 1: about three inches. There's two different models, so this could change,
14:53
Speaker 1: but the current trajectory shows it kind of missing most
14:58
Speaker 1: of us. It's gonna hit eastern Long Island maybe hard,
15:02
Speaker 1: and maybe the Jersey Shore. But in the city, Westchester,
15:06
Speaker 1: Fairfield County, NASA County won't be as bad. But in
15:11
Speaker 1: other words, we might get one to three inches and
15:13
Speaker 1: on the other places maybe over three. But it's called
15:16
Speaker 1: a bomb cyclone. What that means is it's fast and furious.
15:20
Speaker 1: It's not like last the weekend where it snows for
15:24
Speaker 1: you know, nineteen hours. This is like two three hours
15:26
Speaker 1: of this ferocious snow and it all comes at once,
15:29
Speaker 1: and it comes with very fast, heavy winds. So that's
15:33
Speaker 1: why they call it a bomb cyclone. Keep an eye
15:35
Speaker 1: on this. It could be this Sunday now, then after
15:39
Speaker 1: that Monday Tuesday looks like it get lay up to
15:42
Speaker 1: thirty two maybe slightly above freezing. You might start melting
15:45
Speaker 1: some of this snow. There are snow melters. They started
15:48
Speaker 1: to bring those into the city where you plow up
15:50
Speaker 1: the snow and dump it in the melter and it
15:52
Speaker 1: turns it into water and goes down the drain. But anyway,
15:55
Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to. Oh, don't go away.
15:57
Speaker 1: We'll get to Bruce Springsteen and many apples. He's come
16:00
Speaker 1: up with a song. You know, you got to hear
16:02
Speaker 1: this ridiculous. Anyway, we'll get to that coming up. We'll

17:21
Speaker 7: and delicious, of course.
17:24
Speaker 5: Uh.
17:24
Speaker 3: The thing is, it's funny.
17:26
Speaker 1: Southea was South Boston. Southee was like the bad, bad area.
17:30
Speaker 1: Now it's like the hottest place in the world. Now
17:31
Speaker 1: it's the meatpacking district of Boston.
17:35
Speaker 7: Uh So, what's all the hippies? All the hippies, hippies
17:37
Speaker 7: and yippies are up there. They all lived in there.
17:40
Speaker 7: Did the governor mem he wants.
17:41
Speaker 1: To do she wants to translate for those here in
17:44
Speaker 1: New York, Governor, it means, governor, Uh, I love your
17:47
Speaker 1: Boston accent. It's great, thanks for calling. Uh. It happens
17:51
Speaker 1: in a lot of neighborhoods Dorchester, Southey in Boston or
17:55
Speaker 1: not Dorchester as they say in Boston Dorchester. Uh, these
18:01
Speaker 1: rundown rough neighborhoods with these old timers, and then all
18:04
Speaker 1: of a sudden they become like the meatpacking district. They
18:06
Speaker 1: become the hottest place. There's a million twenty somethings running
18:09
Speaker 1: around and drives these old timers crazy. Let's go to
18:12
Speaker 1: Richard in Bay Shore. Richard, how you doing.
18:16
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning Mark. Two quick points, one about Holman
18:19
Speaker 6: and one about Preddy. I think Holman should wear his
18:23
Speaker 6: medal that Obama gave him whenever he can. I mean,
18:25
Speaker 6: he makes a public appearance. I think it'll you know,
18:29
Speaker 6: they formerly streaming press can't ignore it, and it'll create
18:32
Speaker 6: a discussion which will be I think positive.
18:36
Speaker 1: Well it's a good idea, but Holman's not the type
18:39
Speaker 1: to do it. He's not a grand standard. Even said
18:41
Speaker 1: at the beginning of this press commas This Morning goes,
18:43
Speaker 1: I'm not a photo ops guy. He's you remember the
18:49
Speaker 1: Seinfeld episode where they got to meet Elaine's father played
18:54
Speaker 1: by the old actor Lawrence Tierney, and he's just gruff guy.
18:58
Speaker 1: They get all uncomfortable the guy that's home and he's
19:00
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a great guy. I'm an American hero,
19:02
Speaker 1: but K wouldn't want to spend New Year's Eve with him.
19:06
Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way. He's not the most
19:07
Speaker 1: lively guy in the world, but he's a very very
19:10
Speaker 1: top top guy, perfect guy in this situation, and his
19:14
Speaker 1: press conference today was brilliant, exactly the right tone. Let's
19:18
Speaker 1: go to Freddy in Long Island. Freddie, how you doing?
19:22
Speaker 5: First time? Called a first time call a monk. I
19:25
Speaker 5: have two questions for you.
19:27
Speaker 7: The first question is how do you what do you
19:31
Speaker 7: think about the percentage of the protesters that are paid
19:34
Speaker 7: in Minnesota.
19:35
Speaker 1: Oh, it's another very good point. Many of them are
19:38
Speaker 1: organized paid, and Holman said today of those of you
19:42
Speaker 1: financing this, justice is coming soon, so there is an
19:46
Speaker 1: investigation tracking the money. Second question, what do you.
19:49
Speaker 5: Think the percentages of the of the people though that
19:51
Speaker 5: are there.
19:52
Speaker 7: What percentage you think it is that are paid protesters
19:55
Speaker 7: of all the people that.
19:56
Speaker 1: It's probably fifty percent because when you start this, well
19:59
Speaker 1: I don't I'm just guessing it could be. When you
20:04
Speaker 1: start this kind of stuff, it's the paid protesters. We've
20:09
Speaker 1: seen the trucks pull up passing out the signs that
20:12
Speaker 1: are all obviously from the same printer, very expensive printing.
20:15
Speaker 1: Remember we saw that in the twenty twenty summer Riots,
20:18
Speaker 1: where the truck would pull up and pass out bats
20:20
Speaker 1: and bricks to everybody. Very organized, very well financed. But
20:25
Speaker 1: then they start online. Everybody's tweeting and you know, in chats,
20:29
Speaker 1: letting everybody know where they are. So when they let
20:31
Speaker 1: everybody know where the paid protesters are, then a million
20:35
Speaker 1: amateurs will show up and join in. But Homan making
20:39
Speaker 1: a clear they are tracking the money and they will
20:41
Speaker 1: be coming after they DJ will be coming after some people.
20:45
Speaker 1: Let's go to Dave in Orange County. Dave, how you doing?
20:48
Speaker 8: Hey, I do, Bud. The reason why Belichick has gotten
20:52
Speaker 8: Hall of Fame close. He's just not a nice person.
20:55
Speaker 8: He's mean, he's arrogant, He's that's.
20:58
Speaker 1: Half the guys in the NFL, that's half the Quarner back.
21:02
Speaker 8: Well, well, you know what, he takes it a little
21:04
Speaker 8: too far, you know what I mean? I get you know,
21:06
Speaker 8: you know, you could be a hard guy and also
21:10
Speaker 8: be respectful.
21:11
Speaker 1: Hey, I hate to say it. I hate to say
21:13
Speaker 1: it because I knew the guy. But there was nobody meaner,
21:16
Speaker 1: nastier than Joe DiMaggio. But he got in the Hall
21:18
Speaker 1: of Fame. Oh okay, I'm sorry. I didn't realize. Hey, how
21:23
Speaker 1: much snow do you have? How much snow do you
21:25
Speaker 1: have in Orange County?
21:27
Speaker 5: Oh? We got we got a good amount.
21:28
Speaker 8: We got at two feet up here, two feet?
21:31
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
21:32
Speaker 8: The problem is that it's not going anywhere, you know,
21:35
Speaker 8: It's just it's mouths abound the snow.
21:37
Speaker 1: All right, it made me feel better. You made me
21:40
Speaker 1: feel better. He's got these got two feet, we got
21:42
Speaker 1: six inches. We shouldn't complain so much. Uh, I didn't
21:45
Speaker 1: have to go to the gym this week. I just
21:46
Speaker 1: get enough excess jumping over puddles, climbing up snow banks.
21:51
Speaker 1: So they do have these big, huge, enormous machines. It
21:54
Speaker 1: looks like a big enormous truck, and you take the snow,
21:57
Speaker 1: you plow it up, and you jump it into this
21:59
Speaker 1: thing and it melts it down to water and gets
22:02
Speaker 1: rid of it. Some shopping centers use them. Was the
22:07
Speaker 1: plow You know, when you plow a shopping center, you
22:10
Speaker 1: end up piling up the snow. You lose half your
22:11
Speaker 1: parking spaces. But if you got these snow melters, you
22:15
Speaker 1: just dump it into there and eventually can clear the
22:17
Speaker 1: whole parking lot. All the snow is gone. They started
22:20
Speaker 1: bringing these things into the city last night. I don't
22:22
Speaker 1: know how many they have, but they're starting to do
22:25
Speaker 1: that with the snow. The other thing they do is
22:27
Speaker 1: they now start plowing up this snow that's piled up
22:30
Speaker 1: on the sides there, put it in the trucks and
22:32
Speaker 1: go dump it in the river. So that operation started yesterday. Hey,
22:36
Speaker 1: when we come back, the greatest political analyst, the dean himself,
22:39
Speaker 1: Ed Rollins next on seven to ten, wor here's more,
22:44
Speaker 1: Marks amone on seven to ten wr. Well, let's talk
22:49
Speaker 1: to the dean himself, Ed Rollins, who's run more campaigns,
22:54
Speaker 1: more successful campaigns than anyone's done in more white houses,
22:57
Speaker 1: knows everything about this stuff, Ed Rollins? How you doing good?
23:02
Speaker 5: Mark? How are you doing this morning?
23:04
Speaker 1: Very good? Can you believe it's talking about government shutdown again?
23:07
Speaker 1: Why did this happen?
23:11
Speaker 5: Well, you know you only had a couple of boat
23:13
Speaker 5: margins in the House and in the Senate. Anything can happen.
23:16
Speaker 5: And I think to a certain extent, Democrats cann't take
23:18
Speaker 5: any issue they can to embarrass the president. I think
23:23
Speaker 5: to a certain extent, they need to resolve this, and
23:25
Speaker 5: resolve this quick. If you go through another couple of
23:27
Speaker 5: weeks of the shutdown, it looks like the president doesn't
23:30
Speaker 5: know what he's doing. Doesn't know look, and he's now
23:33
Speaker 5: in a position where he's got to got to be
23:35
Speaker 5: pretty much perfect in everything he does. From the forestable future.
23:41
Speaker 5: One of the concerns I had as I went to
23:42
Speaker 5: highway the end of the day, had his small crowd
23:45
Speaker 5: seven other people, and he's got all he was supposed
23:49
Speaker 5: to message about economy and how good things are. And
23:52
Speaker 5: you know, he always gets distracted. He needs a script
23:56
Speaker 5: in his head, not a necessarily script on a teleprompter.
24:00
Speaker 5: But this is what I'm gonna talk about. I'm not
24:01
Speaker 5: gonna talk about Ice. I'm not going to talk about Ukraine,
24:04
Speaker 5: not going to talk about Iran. I'm gonna talk about
24:07
Speaker 5: the American public and all the things that we have done.
24:10
Speaker 5: He can do for the American public. That's what people
24:13
Speaker 5: want to hear. He does that, and these trips are worthwhile.
24:16
Speaker 5: If he doesn't do this, you have a small crowd
24:18
Speaker 5: to go out there, and you have bigger crowds in
24:20
Speaker 5: the opposition. It's not it's not a productive use of
24:25
Speaker 5: his time.
24:26
Speaker 1: You know, all the economic numbers are up. Everything's been
24:29
Speaker 1: inflating down. You know, the economic stuff is great. He's
24:31
Speaker 1: such a great salesman. Why is he so bad on
24:34
Speaker 1: messaging this?
24:37
Speaker 5: Well, I think to a certain extent he he's said
24:40
Speaker 5: over and over again, this is what's happening. And I
24:43
Speaker 5: think he probably doesn't mean this is as sexy as
24:45
Speaker 5: it should be, as much fun as going after all
24:50
Speaker 5: the other stuff. Yeah, he loves the international stuff. He
24:53
Speaker 5: loves he loves to you know, this is it's pretty interesting.
24:57
Speaker 5: You know, I work for Nixon, Ford, Reagan, a round,
25:01
Speaker 5: boyish and then around another presidents ever since. Some like
25:07
Speaker 5: the press, some don't like the press. Trump doesn't like
25:09
Speaker 5: the press. He likes to taunt them to get them
25:12
Speaker 5: in the Oval office and perform with his good friend,
25:16
Speaker 5: whoever they go, the friend of the day maybe whatever,
25:18
Speaker 5: the world leader. And most most Americans don't care about that.
25:21
Speaker 5: What they care about right now is they're still not
25:23
Speaker 5: sure about the economy. All I know is when they
25:27
Speaker 5: go to the grocery store, their checks aren't going as
25:29
Speaker 5: far as they used to. And that's the issue here.
25:32
Speaker 5: And he's got a few months to get the solved.
25:36
Speaker 5: Certainly it's still out there on terrafs and all the
25:39
Speaker 5: rest of it is is for some reason, there's a
25:42
Speaker 5: backslide that's kind of a big impact. He's got a
25:46
Speaker 5: lot of members of Congress are very word and as
25:48
Speaker 5: I've said on the show before, the first thing that
25:51
Speaker 5: the Congress he cares about is not whether President or
25:53
Speaker 5: Piggan has high approval numbers, is to do they have
25:56
Speaker 5: high approval numbers? And are they going to get re elected?
25:58
Speaker 5: As they get into this political process. You know, you're
26:01
Speaker 5: not talking about the maximum probably is twenty five thirty
26:04
Speaker 5: seats that you could lose. But it's a big difference
26:07
Speaker 5: if you run the campaign well and get some benefit
26:10
Speaker 5: out of it, and everybody's everybody's saying the same thing.
26:13
Speaker 5: You have too many people in this administration saying their
26:15
Speaker 5: own thing. And at the end of the day, you know,
26:19
Speaker 5: it's disaster in Minnesota and the ice and all the
26:21
Speaker 5: rest of it. Who's just really hurt him? And I
26:23
Speaker 5: would basically not use her anymore if does on a fire,
26:27
Speaker 5: just how I go do FEMA stuff. But at the
26:30
Speaker 5: end of the day, you know he's he's not going
26:33
Speaker 5: to get a good word back on ICE. ICE can't
26:36
Speaker 5: do any more than they've done. We are basically getting
26:39
Speaker 5: people who are illegally in the country out in the country,
26:42
Speaker 5: with a lot of them dating the volunteer program to
26:44
Speaker 5: fly back to their country and had to highlights a
26:48
Speaker 5: lot of stuff, but most of all needs a highlight economy.
26:50
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you know you can think about this very
26:53
Speaker 1: clearly and simple and clear. I can do that. But
26:57
Speaker 1: when you get elected and you're sitting there in that
26:58
Speaker 1: oval office all day, are there like a thousand people
27:01
Speaker 1: pulling in every direction and a million things as.
27:04
Speaker 5: Clearly you need you need to have a team around,
27:08
Speaker 5: and you know you don't have to you don't have
27:09
Speaker 5: to be with anybody. I mean, at the end of
27:11
Speaker 5: the day, you can have two or three advisors you
27:12
Speaker 5: want to come in and tell you what you want
27:14
Speaker 5: to hear, will tell you what you need, information you
27:16
Speaker 5: need you control that environment. He kind of likes crouds,
27:21
Speaker 5: you know. He when he gets in troubles these short
27:24
Speaker 5: interviews where he's either on an Air Force one or
27:27
Speaker 5: he's going the helicopter or what have you, and he
27:28
Speaker 5: says something that you shouldn't be saying, or something that's
27:31
Speaker 5: in or five o'clock in the morning. At three o'clock
27:34
Speaker 5: in the morning when he gets up and he gets
27:35
Speaker 5: on his h on his Twitter account. You know, you
27:40
Speaker 5: gotta try and read a night of course, well wash
27:44
Speaker 5: watch movies. Who are sports? Uh, there's a lot on
27:48
Speaker 5: his plate and he's no one. No president has accumulated
27:51
Speaker 5: as much power as he has. Nixon tried, as Lynda
27:55
Speaker 5: Johnson tried. But he's done it. I think to a
27:58
Speaker 5: certain extenting down He's use it. You know.
28:01
Speaker 1: Uh, it's hard to keep in touch with the people,
28:03
Speaker 1: like really have your finger on the pulse when you're
28:05
Speaker 1: in the White House. So you can try to watch
28:08
Speaker 1: your Fox News, you can try to watch the newscast,
28:10
Speaker 1: you can, but I remember reading that Reagan like to
28:13
Speaker 1: watch sitcoms like Roseanne because he would show him people's
28:16
Speaker 1: lives and how they were.
28:18
Speaker 5: So what does the.
28:19
Speaker 1: President do to like, really really be in touch with people.
28:22
Speaker 5: Well, he likes, he likes. He's a news jumpie, and
28:26
Speaker 5: you know, he wants it all to be perfect, and
28:28
Speaker 5: it's never going to be perfect. He listens to your show,
28:32
Speaker 5: which is my friend Michael Goodwin's column and New York Post,
28:36
Speaker 5: and you know. Yeah, even even Fox gets off of
28:41
Speaker 5: us sometimes and you know, too much of that is
28:45
Speaker 5: he sinks, you know, right, Reagan, Reagan was a very
28:49
Speaker 5: secure man. Hagan. Hagan was someone who got dollars that
28:51
Speaker 5: he the needs. And when he's a movie star, even
28:54
Speaker 5: a lifeguard, you're heca college. Uh. Trump is still fighting
28:58
Speaker 5: every day, fighting, fighting to get commission. I mean his
29:00
Speaker 5: president of the state has been buck to twice. Uh
29:03
Speaker 5: you know that to be enough for any man. But
29:05
Speaker 5: you know the stupidity about the about the oh no
29:09
Speaker 5: Bel Peace Prize, Yeah, peace Prize, It's just it's is ridiculous.
29:13
Speaker 5: I mean, who cares. Uh, you know, there's uh the
29:17
Speaker 5: fact that Obama got one of those first month in
29:20
Speaker 5: office was it was a gift. Was it was mainly
29:23
Speaker 5: a had done This president has has done some real
29:25
Speaker 5: stuff and at the end of the day here he
29:27
Speaker 5: will do some moral stuff again if he doesn't get distracted.
29:30
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but Reagan, as you say, it was a
29:32
Speaker 1: movie star. He was a happy guy. But when you're
29:34
Speaker 1: a billionaire and you've worked a lot of these billionaires, uh,
29:37
Speaker 1: they're fighters. They're always fighting there. That's how they became billionaires.
29:40
Speaker 1: They're fighting, fighting, billionaires.
29:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, there's no president been surrounded by as many
29:48
Speaker 5: billionaires as he is. They're in his cabinet, you know.
29:50
Speaker 5: And and I think to a certain extent, uh, you know,
29:53
Speaker 5: he didn't come in as a billionaire. He's now become
29:55
Speaker 5: a billionaire. And I think to a certain extent of
29:57
Speaker 5: chumulating money, uh is something that's important to him. Doing
30:02
Speaker 5: deals is important to him. But what he's going to
30:04
Speaker 5: do is make the country feel like they're benefiting every
30:07
Speaker 5: every rain he does. And that's you know, it's it's
30:10
Speaker 5: a challenge. It's a challenge every president has, but this
30:13
Speaker 5: is a president once you know what we what are
30:16
Speaker 5: we doing? Back in Pennsylvania, we argue in the stupid
30:18
Speaker 5: ass actually six years ago. I mean that becomes a
30:21
Speaker 5: news story today. What's he doing there? Why is he there?
30:25
Speaker 5: And if you don't clearly lay out the why you're there,
30:28
Speaker 5: which you shouldn't be, uh, talk about the future and
30:32
Speaker 5: talk about people, talk about schools.
30:34
Speaker 7: Uh.
30:36
Speaker 5: Because he still has he still has a hero ball,
30:41
Speaker 5: but it's still people love him. But Jenny pulls up
30:44
Speaker 5: polarizing president. There's people like, hey, him. So when you
30:47
Speaker 5: go to Iowa and you have seven hundred people. You
30:48
Speaker 5: make a big deal out of going there and flying
30:50
Speaker 5: Air Force one and what have you. And you have
30:52
Speaker 5: in a very small stage. There's more people outside against
30:55
Speaker 5: you than there are on a tourn for you. You
30:59
Speaker 5: know that's not a good picture. At the end of
31:01
Speaker 5: the day. Control as much of an as you can,
31:03
Speaker 5: and you've he's got the big plane, you've got the
31:05
Speaker 5: big staff. You can control. No one doesn't rallies well
31:08
Speaker 5: that he does. Nobody does performances being what he does.
31:11
Speaker 5: He needs to do it.
31:12
