Hour 2: Zohran Mamdani stands with Starbucks workers. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You're ahead of the game just for being here.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: It's marks alone on sevent tenors.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Well, not too bad here. It's a little light rain
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: right now around the Tri State area. Someplaces getting snow
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and all that first storm of winter. Now, let me
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: just point out these long range forecasts. You know, it
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: says what kind of winter we're gonna have. It's gonna
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: be the coldest winter ever, it's gonna be the snowiest
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: winter ever. It's gonna be you see that every year.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Don't take those seriously. They mean absolutely nothing. Farmers Almanac,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: their predictions have been wrong ninety percent of the times. Now,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: don't even take any real serious weather forecast or meteorologists
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: will tell you can't do the seasonal forecasts. It's absolutely impossible.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: If there's no logical way of forecast an entire season.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: You know, for instance, they forecast it this would be
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: one of the worst hurricane seasons ever. It turned out
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to be the lightest hur season ever. So season forecasts,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: don't take it seriously. Let's see Bill O'Reilly was talking
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: about this. This is very important. Let's get back to this.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly pointing out that there's a big problem coming
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: for Comy and coming for Leticia James. Now, they got
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the charges against Komy and Letitia James. They both got
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: their charges dismissed by a left wing judge who did
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: not rule on the charges. They found no problem with
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the charges. What they found was that the US attorney
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: was improperly appointed or something. She's an interim US attorney
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and she'd been there past a deadline. So on the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: technicality of the appointment of the US attorney, that's how
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: it got tossed out. Now they can appeal that and
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: probably win that. But what we're hearing is they're not
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: going to appeal it. They're going to just simply file
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: all new charges now. But Bill O'Reilly was talking about
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: there's a big trap being laid for Leticia James. Currently,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: there are seven thousand illegal aliens who are out and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: out criminals, I mean really bad criminals, accused of murder,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of actually well up more than accused. They've actually committed
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: crimes like murder, rape, child pornography, armed robbery. It's a
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: terrible list. I mean, these are dangerous, dangerous, convicted criminals,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and they're illegal. There's seven thousand of them. They're locked
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: up in New York. But the problem is they all
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: get led out. They get led out all the time.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: But Ice wants to come in and arrest these seven
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: thousand illegals. They're totally illegal migrants. They're here illegally, and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: they've been convicted of very, very serious crimes. But here
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: in New York you got crazy Alvin Bragg the district attorney,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: who doesn't put him in prison. And then because of
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the awful job Andrew Cuomo did as governor, he did
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: horrible things. One of the things he did was he
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: changed up the parole board. The governor appoints me to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the parole board. So he started appointing real left wing coops,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: filled the parole board, left wing cooks. They let everybody
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: out of prison. They've let out forty three cop killers,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and they're letting out these illegals like crazy. These are dangerous,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: dangerous criminals who are here illegally, and they're letting them
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: out into the streets. So here's the deal with Letitia James.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Ice has sent Letitia James a letter demanding that she
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: turn over all seven thousand illegal aliens to them. Some
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: of them are in prison. It'd be very easy to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: go to the prison and take them and deport them.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Ice wants to deport these seven thousand illegals and get
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: them out of the country. It's up to Letitia James
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to hand them over. She's received the letter from the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security. So, as Bill O'Reilly pointed out,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: if she refuses to do this, she may be in
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: criminal jeopardy. They may be able to charge her criminally
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: for that and come after her. Now her defense will
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: be that her hands are tied by New York's sanctuary laws.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Believe it or not, New York has these crazy sanctuary
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: laws that you're not allowed to do this, even if
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: it's a dangerous criminal rape, child pornography, murder, got convicted
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: in jail. You're not allowed to deport them. You're not
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: allowed to cooperate with Ice. That's this crazy New York
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: sanctuary law. Now you're saying, who would sign such a ridiculous,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: crazy law? Let me see, Oh, here it is. Andrew
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Cuomo signed that law. Another horrible thing Andrew Cuomo did
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to New York. Nobody did more damage to New York state.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: No governor ever did more damage than Andrew Croomo with
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: his no bail, no jail with his close the prisons,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: let the prisoners out, redo the parole board. And now
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: with this crazy sanctuary law, seven thousand dangerous murdering, killing
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: illes that cannot be deported because of the sanctuary law
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: because you're not allowed to cooperate with thanks to Andrew Cuomo,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: who's making noise about running again. So horrible, horrible situation,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: but it could put Letitia James in legal jeopardy once again. Also,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: they can just go back and charge her again for
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the mortgage fraud. The documents are pretty clear on that,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: so I don't see how she avoids It's now the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: only thing Comy has going for him is there is
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a statue of limitations. They might be might be past it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie getting ready to take over the transition team.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie's been very busy lately with important matters, protesting
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: with the Starbucks baristas. Now I see the only good
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: thing about Mom Donnie. Deblasia was bad. You know, a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: left wing kok socialist, Mom Donnie, I mean Deblasio too
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: left wing socialist Kouk. But the good news is he
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: never came to work. He was more interested in going
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to Brooklyn every day. I remember that he'd sit in
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that coffee shop all day, and then he'd go to
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the gym, Chopi City Hall for an hour, go to sleep,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: take a nap, go home mom. Donnie seems to keep
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: himself busy with nonsense. You know, you're about to take
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: over in New York City, you'd think you'd be in
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: meetings around the clock trying to figure out, especially if
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you're brand new. If you've been in government before, it's
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a little easier. But if you've never been in government
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: running a city or estate, and you've never had an
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: actual job, you'd think you'd be studying day and night
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: for what you're about to do. But he's busy with
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: other little silly things. He's out there marching for oppressed
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: workers where you say, well, cotton fields, picking fruit, somewhere
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in a sweatshop. No Starbucks baristas. He's out protesting with
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the Starbucks baristas. He's fighting for them. Apparently this barista
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: stuff is pretty serious. I don't know what the issue is,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: but they're only getting like thirty dollars an hour. They
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: want thirty five. And then some of them say it's
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the scheduling when they are Starbucks barista. Here's one of them.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: They do tend to just positively schedule you right now,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: we want to fight for fair consistency and obviously a
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: living working schedule and wage.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. They're haphazardly scheduling the baristas. Now, are
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you going to Starbucks? You see these baristas. Mostly you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: can't stand them because they take forever and they can
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: never wait on you. They could be six people behind
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the counter, but two of them are on the phone,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: one of them's changing filters on the machine, another one's
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: busy hauling a box, or they can't think the way.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: So nobody has any sympathy for these baristas and the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: hap hazard scheduling. Well, it doesn't sound like the cruelest
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: thing I have ever heard, But mom Donnie is out
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: there protesting with him here he is.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: The struggle those workers have is that not enough people
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: know about their fight, not enough people know what they
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: are being forced to accept. So the more that you
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: can bring that awareness, the more that you can bring
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: that attention, the easier it is for workers to demand
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the bare minimum. And that is what I will continue
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: to do as the next mayor of the city.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: He is fighting for those baristas. How do you like that. Now,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: First of all, this guy's a socialist. This guy's worried
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: about affordability. You're at a place where they charge fourteen dollars
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: for a cup of coffee. You should be mad at
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: all of them, these baristas. You want affordability, get rid
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: of Starbucks. First of all, don't go to Starbucks anywhere.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Duncan Downut's much better coffee. Also, I know they don't
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: have a foam pumpkin termasous flavored lot. Okay, but they
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: got better coffee. Just get a regular cup of coffee
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and go to work. And then you got all these
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: local ones. Now there's like a hundred of these. You know,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: there's another chain called Gregory's. Gregory's. It's a guy from Granwich, Connecticut.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: He started it there and now they're opening all over
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the place, much better than Starbucks. And what's that one
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: over there, Blue Pointers whatever it's called tur across the street.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: There's a bunch of those Blank Street. There's a whole
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: much better. Stay the hell out of Starbucks. And if
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you're a socialist, what are you having anything to do
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: with a place that charges twenty seven dollars for coffee? So,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: but Mam Donnie's fighting for them.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: These are not demands of greed. These are demands for decency.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's forty dollars for a cup
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of coffee. Who's robbin? Who there? Do you hear about
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: this clothing store and soho that got robbed. It's not
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a regular clothing store. It's a special second hand clothing
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: store's it doesn't even have a storefront. It's up on
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the second floor of an office building. And people like
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton and all these rappers go
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: there because they have the most one of a kind
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: pieces in the world. A lot of them are vintage,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: but not regular vintage. They were worn by some celebrity.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: So they have these very special blue jeans that are
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: very special, different, unique with the stuff all over them
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: in stones. And so the guy was showing this pair
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of blue jeans is worth fifty thousand. This pair of
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: blue jeans is seventy five thousand. I'm not kidding. So
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: it got robbed last night. Thieves broke in and you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: can see the surveillance video. They I guess there was
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a fire escape or something. They got up the fire
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: escape and they broke through the second story window with big,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: hefty trash bags and they just kept throwing all the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: clothes in these trash bags. Then they go to the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: window and throw the bags down to the street where
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a guy would pick them up, throw them in the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: van that they had waiting, and eventually they got like
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: ten trash bags full of clothes and drove off. But
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: it was worth two million dollars. So the owners on
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: TV talking about he got robbed and what a robbery.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: But then he's showing the stuff. He has seventy five
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: thousand for a pair of jeans. This guy should be
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: arrested for robbery. Who the hell's robbing? Who's seventy five
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: thousand for a pair of jeans? But that's so that's
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: what goes on. And Mom, Donnie, he hasn't said a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: word about the casinos. That's a good sign though, that
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: means they've probably gotten to him. You know, one thing
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: about these big, big, big business guys, these big real
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: estate guys, they whine and complain, but they know how
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to get to a new mayor really really fast, and
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: they're pretty good at that. So you never know the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: same thing happened to Blaso. It was bad, but we
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: got through it just fine. You'll probably get through mom
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Downey just fine. Hey, so we're talking about Mark Kelly
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and the sinking the drug cartel boats Venezuela. Now they're
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: going to hold hearings in Congress and go after this.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Mark Kelly thinks he'll be like Tom Cruise in these
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: hearings and that you know, the general who did the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: bombing of these boats is going to be like Jack Nicholson,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and Democrats feel like they'll be Tom Cruise, going did
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you order the code red? And that the guy will
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: just blow up and go You're damn right, I did.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. Nothing dramatic is going to happen.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: President Trump on all this.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: We consider of Venezuela to be not a very friendly country.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: They send millions of people, really, and probably a number
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: in excess of that, and a lot of those people
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: shouldn't be in our country, from jails, from gangs, from
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: drug dealers, from all of the people that came into
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: our country shouldn't have been in our country. Closing a
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: lot of problem.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Does your warning need that an airstrike is eminent?
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: Or should we not read.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: It that way?
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: You don't read anything into it.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now the reason for this. You got to remember,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: if you were going to go after the drug cartels,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: you would do it at the border. You would try
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to get them coming across the border. Well, the border's
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: closed now, it's been closed all year. There's no coming
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: across the border. So they've switched to the sea. They're
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: doing it by boat. So that's why you got to
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: go after him here. The border's gone. They've eliminated that.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: So now they're going after the drug cartels exactly the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: same as everybody else did, only now they're using the sea,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and that's where you got to go after them. So
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: it'll continue, and it's a good thing. Democrats. We'll go
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: nuts defending these cartel dealers, which will eventually backfire on them.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Of course, Hey, Matt Lower looking to make a comeback.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Apparently Matt Lower has been talking to people he wants
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: back in. He's like like Richie Apriol, you know when
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: he got out of jail, tone, I want back in,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I want to get back my I want to get
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: my action back on my sha. So but the problem
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: is Matt Lower total outcast. And you know, he was
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: never that great. It's not like he had a lot
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to say. I mean, a nice looking guy. He had
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a nice charming way about him. A good looking guy.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Although now he's older, and although I saw him recently,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: looks good. He looks good, always wears a great suit.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: But I think they're way past Matt Lawer Today's show wise.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: First of all, they don't pay that kind of money anymore.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Very few people watch network TV anymore. And it's a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: whole new generation, you know. Now it's Jenna hager Bush,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell her name is. But he wants back in,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and he kind of in what he was saying, sort
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: of hinted he knows maybe he'll never get back on
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: network television. Maybe he's just damaged goods and he can't
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: get back on. So he said, I'd like to get
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: back on the media, get to the media in some
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: he said, if not TV, in some capacity. So that's
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: him acknowledging he might not be able to get a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: TV job. I don't know, has enough time passed, you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: like Lewis c K seems to be okay again, Kevin
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Spacey seems to be okay again. You can start putting
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: these guys back. I don't know, And if it's not
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: if not TV, what does that mean? Does that mean
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: he'll end up like those idiots Jim Acosta, Don Lemon
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: doing a podcast from at home from their living room
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: with the glasses on, doing the podcast from home, split
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: screen zoom podcast. I don't know.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: The problem is a lot of these people do these
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: They got nothing to say. You know, if you just
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: said to Sean Hannity, all the guests canceled on the
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: TV show. If you said to Sean Hannity, there's no guests,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: they all canceled, you'll have to talk for a half hour.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Well he could do that without blinking. He could entertain
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: you for a half hour, telling stories, talk and going
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: over the new He does it on the radio for
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: three hours, no problem. He could fill in a half
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: hour without blinking. It would be interesting, funny. But if
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you're Don Lemon or you're Matt Lower, you've never had
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: a talk in your life, You've never done a show.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: All you do is read a teleprompter or interview people
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: as a reporter. So that's all it's When they do
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: these podcasts, they have to have a guest. Every second
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: there has to be a guest. You never see him
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: just alone talking in the camera for a half hour
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: because they would have no clue how to do it.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I think Matt Lower has the same problem, so he'd
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: have to do guests because I mean, he could talk
• 15:50

• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Every then you go ask the employees. They don't have

  Speaker 5: and it's a nice day in the neighborhood.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, thanks for calling. It's raining here and let's
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: go to Michael on the East side. Michael, how you doing?
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: Hey, Mark, you Mike morning Vitamins. I was about the
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: casino awards. Yes, I read a.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Sound like one of those guys at the slot machine
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: with a couple of quarters.
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: No Eatumm, twenty dollars, twenty dollars rep back correct table,
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: but many events. I read all the way down at
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: the end of the article it said either each casino
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: has to give five hundred million or five hundred thousand.
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: I couldn't.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: It's five hundred million, believe it or not. They've been
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: approved to get a casino license. Now you got to
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: buy the license, whether it's a fee, you pay a
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: fee to get your license. The fees five hundred million.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: So three casinos, that's one point five billion in revenue
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: right away. And then that's not to mention twenty three
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: thousand jobs will be created and billions of dollars supposedly
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: in revenue coming in every year. Let's go to Daniel
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: in Long Island. Daniel, how you doing?
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Mark, Mark. I have a about the second
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: bombing of the boats. Yes, you know, just every time
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: I hear the headline, I just can't help think that
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: we had I think we had captured and then released
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: some terrorists in the Middle East, and they came back
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: later with a real axe to grind and did some
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: real damage. I mean, you know you're going to bomb
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: the boat, bomb the boat exactly.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: You see, That's what I was saying, Good call, Daniel, Yeah, yeah,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I see. I think for most people they don't understand
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the issue. What is the democratic thinking here? One bomb
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: blowing up the boat, that's okay. Two that's being pushy.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: That's a little pushy. So I would assume when these
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: planes fly over the boat, they are there to blow
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the whole thing up. Just blow at the smithereens, just
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: blow it out of the water and that's it. So
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: if that's your mission, why would you object to the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: second bomb? You know, it's like if a guy, God
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: forbid takes out a gun and shoot somebody, that's like
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the police saying, well, all right, you shot him once,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: but you didn't have to shoot him twice. That's that
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: second bullet. We're resting here for the second bullet. Let's
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: go to Aerin in Indianapolis. Erin, How you doing good.
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: Boarding, Mark? I have a grife about these Narco boats. Yes,
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: you have it. Yet had a boat with Greta Thunberg.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: All right, I don't know. I guess it's supposed to
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: be some sort of joke. Maybe in Indianapolis, I got
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: some big les. Let me ask you a better question.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: You're in Indiana. Is it snowing there?
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: Yes? It is and very cold, and.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: You got a lot of snow on the ground.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: Uh, not that much, maybe two or three inches right
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: around there.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, thanks for calling. Makes me feel better. Two
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: or three inches on the go. Got nothing here. It's
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: a little torizzling a little. See. That's the thing. When
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: you get you live there, two or three inches is nothing.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: You feel that it's nothing. If this were Manhattan, two
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: or three inches, everything would close for two days.
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: When we come back, Ed Rollins will be with us.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: The Dean himself will not to talk about. We'll get
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: to twenty twenty six, the elections. We'll get to why
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: all these crazy left wing democrats are taken over. It's
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: not just mom, Donnie, it's happening all over the place.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that and more. Just ahead on seven
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: to ten. WR. You're listening to you are well, Let's
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: talk to the Dean himself. The greatest campaign manager and
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the best analyst of all Ed Rollins. How you doing I'm.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: Doing well, thank you to thankscooting and had a wonderful day.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I'll lead it too, Yeah, definitely. Hey, we're talking with
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: this before twenty twenty six summer saying could be the
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: most important election ever for Democrats. It's the final last
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: chance to stop Donald Trump. If he gets both houses
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: again and has complete control of Congress, it's smooth sailing.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: They've got to take Congress back to stop them and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: peach them whatever they want to do. What do you
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: think thing, Well, I.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: Think that's their goal obviously. And the reality is the
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: numbers aren't very good for nobody and the political business today.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: The Congress numbers are terrible. But the reality is Republicans
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: are running in the whole show. So they've got to
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: somehow breakthrough here what happens. And then having run the
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: congressional races as a chairman of the Congressional for medical
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: chairman and having gone to a big term election when
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: I was White House political director, these are straining elections
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: and they start now. We don't have a year to
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: get ready. We have a couple of months to get ready,
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: and what occurs as members start doing their own polls,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: and the vast majority of members of the most important
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: thing is getting reelected. They don't care about anybody else.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: They care about the president to a certain extent Republicans,
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: but at the end of the day, if they start
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: doing badly, they're going to do everything they can to
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: get themselves reelected, which may not be what the president wants.
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: So we've got a lot of chaos. The budget bills
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: aren't going to get through the very quick that Dune
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: yesterday said he's start gonna trouble. We're gonna have trouble
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: get the budget bills through. They made a promise on
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: the healthcare and the publicans problem for years of healthcare
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: is we don't have an alternative. Uh, it's Obamacare. And
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: so we've got some real fights ahead of us. And
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: and I just would urge the president to stay consistent
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: on a few subjects here and not be traveling all
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: over the world and not get us an war. And
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: you can in other parts of the world. Yeah, star wars.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: We won't. We don't have wars.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: But you're the expert, and you know we don't have
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: much time. But when you say we don't how much time.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: It's a year from now. Can't anything and everything change
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: by then.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: So it won't change. The reality is, you know, the
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: economy may get a little stronger. Hopefully if that does that,
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: it can turn it around. But everything is kind of
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: in play now. And budget. The next big battles here
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: are the budget battles, and we control that process. So
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: we've got to make sure whatever it takes to get
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: to get them through. And the country sees the Congress
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: working the Congress. Don't see the Congress working in particularly
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: the House getting things done. The reality is load against
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: the majority that's there. We've got a big election today
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: in Tennessee. Tennessee seven. Yeah, this is where the president
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: carried by twenty six points. Shouldn't even be a competitive race,
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: but it's dead did even according to the pools that
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: I've seen. So we lose this. It's sort of the
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: process keeps feeding itself, and what happens they eat themselves.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: They basically say, okay, our here's our plan for the years.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: We're we're going to do ten things, five things, whatever
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: the number is, and then you stick with it. Unfortunately,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: the numbers are so small. Both the sun and the
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: House that a defection of five six seats anywhere changes
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: the tenement dramatically.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, can you explain to us this crazy phenomenon of
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: these new Democratic candidates. They're all coops, you know, like
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: mom Donnie. Well, this woman in Tennessee, she doesn't like
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: country music and she's at her districts in Nashville. I mean,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: how did the Democrat ends up with these kooky people?
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: Well, I've seen her on TV. I don't know her
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: at all, but she's she's pretty pretty charismatic, and I
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: think that's part of it. They say what they say,
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: what they want, they say what they think they want,
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: and it's pretty much running against Republicans running against Trump
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: as much promoting themselves. Obviously, Mondabi was different, but bon
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: Dabi didn't run on his own record. Nabi, and we
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: didn't do a very good job with laying out what
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: he really is. He really is a socialist comments whatever
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: term you want to use. It's all what the vast
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: majority of New York is or how the vast majority
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: of people in the country are.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but mon done the same thing on paper, the
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: worst candidate in the world. But you're right, he's charismatic
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: on TV and online social and media and the.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: Way things are now, you know, has their own independent
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: way of getting their news. They don't they don't watch
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: television walks they used to. They don't watch the news shows.
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: And you know the reality years that people go on
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: and they're charismatic and they say, oh, no, I'm just
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: against Trump. Trump's doing all these bad things. I'm going
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: to change that. And whether he is or is and
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: is not always relevant. It's the perception. And the perception
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: right now is there's too many fights going on. You
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: can't be fighting with Navy seals. He can't be fighting
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: with the astronauts. Get the job done. And the president
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: needs to focus on that in the White House states
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: to focus on that.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: So you can have the worst reckor in the world.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: But as long as you're charismatic, does that mean Gavin
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Newsom has a great shot in twenty twenty eight he has.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: He should not even be in the game. This guy
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: has been recalled to be called as the worst record
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: of anybody in California and modern history of the state's
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: in terrible, terrible shape, and yet he's in the elections.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: He Couplic School get a fifty four percent of brewery
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: on Californians. So he's certainly got a base to run on,
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: and he's not going to run on his record. He's
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: going to run on against against Trump. In my sense,
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: that's with all these it's all going to be against Trump,
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: and Trump basically has got to be very discipline in
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: his message. He's got the strongest party he's ever anybody's
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: ever had, but they're going to start up evacuating if
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: they don't see him turning this back around it. It's
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: all about the economy, all about the economy. The rest
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: of it is.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: What does that mean discipline in his message? You mean
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: talk less, don't tweet every two seconds, do a little.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: Less, don't tweet every two seconds, and don't let everybody
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: else talk. Basically, pick who you're going to have out
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: there doing what's the message of the day. If the
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: message of the day right today is we care about
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: what happens to these you know the guy's gonna shout
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: out on the boat, that's a story, and then have
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: your message down, stay on the message. Don't let people
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: want and there's too many people that are independent and
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: know what you're going to say. I've always ard with
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: his strategy clients or whether it's political lines, write it out.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: Here's what we're going to say, here's how long we're
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: going to say it. Here's where the kinds of the
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: shows are going to go on and make sure that
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: everybody's hearing from us the same message. You're not fifteen
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: different messages.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, when you get a private sector
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: billionaire running, well, you had, you ran the Ross Pero campaign,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the private sector billionaire business guy. It's hard to tell
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: them things, isn't it. They don't listen, do they.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: They don't listen. They don't listen. I finally said it
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: Pero one day. So you're just trying to run a
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: traditional campaign. I said, no, I'm not just trying to
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: run a campaign tradition.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: But they became billionaires, so they must know something.
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: Right, They do know something, and they should stay on
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: the line where they know something. That's good. Let let
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: people understand politics and communications do that. Yeah, so you're communicating,
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: You're every day, every day, You're out communicating your message
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: every day in your basics, talking about the things that
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: matter to you, anything matter to your viewers. If all
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: of a sudden tomorrow you are going out there and
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: saying you know, we just got of like to the
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: greatest mayor in the world in New York. Let's get
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: them a shot. Your ears will start clicking off. That
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: switches best. Yeah, you got to stay consistent in your
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: message who you are and what you are.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But but you know, even like the take the Venezuela,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the boats people are basically common sense. Don't they realize, Hey,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: these guys are defending drug dealers. Well, we can't defend
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the drug cartels.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: We haven't. We haven't proved the case yet. We need
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: to go prove the case. And I would argue at
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: this point in time, this is serious. If they if
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: they charge the Secretary of Defense whenever he wants to
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: call as you call the world ward. But at the
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: end of the day, he's not a very good communicator.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: He may not be a very good Secretary of Defense.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: He may have made a big mistake here. And for
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: some reason, when it's been the Christmas holidays talking about
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: that we've murdered two guys hang on the side of
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: a boat. We think they were trying to do is
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: we don't know that for sure? And the Congress is
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: calling for hearings. He's got to cooperate with the hearings.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: What are you gonna do, Sit down and get a strategy,
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: get a plan. There's no strategy in this White house
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: right now.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, good stuff, Ed Rollins, always great talking you.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the great analysis. Keep up the good work,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk against him. Take care or interesting stuff. Yeah. Hey,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: we've got a lot to I get to throughout the day,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff to cover. We didn't get to
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the Tim Waltz fraud either. That is pretty amazing, that fraud,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Tim Waltz. You know, this happens with these democrats. Look
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: at de Blasio when he was in office with his
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: wife's crazy program Thrive NYC, which were these crazy centers,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: was like yoga for the homeless. Somehow a billion dollars
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: got put into that and then went missing. The billion
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: dollars disappeared. To this day, nobody knows where it went.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: And by the way, the program itself never opened. The
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: single center never got a single program done, still hasn't
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: to this day. The billion disappeared. That's what happens when
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: you get these democratic socialists. Now look at the Minnesota
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: where you got Tim Waltz in charge, same exact sort
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: of thing. It also happens to be a billion dollars
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: went missing. A bunch of crazy programs in Minnesota, same
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: kind of left wing cook nonsense programs. The billion dollars
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: is missing. Tim Waltz cannot seem to explain for a
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: second what happened to the money, will not even take
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: responsibility for it. People have asked him over and over
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: and over again. He can't explain it. Same thing happened
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: with the Blasia. Luckily it's he's a left wing guy.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: They don't push him to our bit.
• 31:17
