  Speaker 1: This is seven to R Boy, The Mark Simoon Show starts. Now, Hey,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to today. We'll get
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: to President Trump. He's leaving for China in a couple
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of hours. We'll get to Iran. We'll get to the terrible,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: awful antisemitic attacks that have been taking place in New York,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: in London, but especially here in New York, and a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: mayor that's doing absolutely nothing about it. Lots to get
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: to today. We'll get to prices are going to be
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: coming down on a few things. President Trump has given
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Democrats a new name. You know, he's great at nicknaming
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: people Pocahontas and Sleepy Joe and low energy Jeb. He's
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: now calling them democrats, dum democrats. So let's all do
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: that from now on, just say democrats, not Democrats. Democrats.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: President unleashing that yesterday on truth Social So from now on,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: it's Democrats Democrats. And the poster boy obviously would be
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries, very very low IQ guy, and the minority
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the Democrat minority leader. So he's going to leave for
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: China in a little while. Now, if you read the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: fake news, follow the fake news, watch the fake news,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you are led to believe that he's going to China,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a rough trip. He has
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: no leverage, and he's going to look weak. I've been
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: hearing that word weak. He weak in front of China.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: No leverage weak, weak weak. The opposite is true. China's
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: economy is not very strong. It's it's a little bit
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: of trouble. Their economy is weak right now. Our economy
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: is booming, the stock market, earnings, corporations, jobs, everything. There's
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a little spike in gas prices due to the Iran conflict,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: but otherwise the economy is in phenomenal shape. We're taken
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: in more more money than ever before. We're pumping more
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: oil than we've ever pumped. We're now pumping more oil
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: than anybody in the world with the biggest exporter. The
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: economy is booming. China's economy is weak. It's fragile right now.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: It's not, you know, in real trouble, but it's close.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: It's close. It's not strong right now. And China's got
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a problem with the Iran conflict. Half their oil comes
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: from Iran, so they've lost fifty percent of their supply.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So actually Trump has a lot of leverage. It's China
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that really has no leverage right now. They need the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Iran conflict settled a lot more than we do. So
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: he's going to China. He'll leave this afternoon. The big
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: meetings to take them Today's Tuesday. You know, by the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: time he gets there, it's tomorrow night, So the big
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: meetings are on Thursday. With them, he's taking with him
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of big CEOs. Tim Cook of Apple, Elon Musk,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the CEO of Boeing. One reason you take these guys
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: is you want to help them get business. You want
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to help them get contracts. You want to help Boeing
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: sell a lot of planes over there in China. Tim
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Cook already does a lot of business in China, but
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: so it should be a pretty successful trip. Hey, Bill,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: O'reilly'll be with us later in the second hour. Now,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: he went to China. He's been through this in the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: last few months, so he can tell you all about
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: what it's like in China and what the problems are
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: when you get there. You can't bring your phone because
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: they'll embed stuff in your phone, you can't bring your computer. Well,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: he'll tell us all about it. The surveillance they do
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: on you, it's really eerie. Anyway, we'll get to that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: coming up. President Trump wants to call Ice nice. It's
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Immigration and Customs reformed. That's why it's Ice. He wants
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to add National Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Just change the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: name instead of Immigration Customs and Enforcement national Immigration Customs
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and Enforcement. And that way it would be nice and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the Democrats would have to call it nice. Now. The problem,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the only problem. I hear the people in Ice. The
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: officers don't want it to say nice on their hat.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: They don't want it to say nice. You know, these
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: are tough warriors. They don't want to say nice on
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the front of their jacket. But he's thinking of changing
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the name.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I wanted to change the name of Ice, which is
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: a tough name, you know, to Nice, so that when
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the fake news reports they said it was a nice
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: day with Nice.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Well, it would be good to do, just to drive
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the left crazy, just to make them completely nuts. Now,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: price of oil, it is up, but the President has
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: proposed a lot of stuff. There's things you can do
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to lower I mean, as soon as the war or
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: whatever it is in Iran ends, the price will plunge.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It will plunge to it Probably the lowest point in
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: zillions of years. But until that point, you can you
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: can give some relief. You can remove the gas tax.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna reduce until they. Let me tell you,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: as soon as this is over with Iran. As soon
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: as it's over, you're gonna see gasoline and oil drop
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: like a rock.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So he is talking about getting rid of the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: gas tax for a while. It's about eighteen and a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: half cents a gallon and it brings in about forty
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: billion in annual revenue, goes to the Highway Trust Fund.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: But you could suspend it for a month or two.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: That's not hard to do. So that's about eighteen cents
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: a gallon you're paying when you buy a gallon of gas,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you're paying about a dollar of it in taxes federal, state,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: local tax. You know, despite what you think the oil companies,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: they really don't make that much. Now, the gas station
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: on a gallon of gas, the net profit to a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: gas station on a gallon is about five cents. So
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: out of that four bucks, the gas station is only
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: getting about five cents. They get a little more, but
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about net profit because their costs are really high.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: You know, a gas station is huge, huge overhead costs.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: The margins are high. Big overhead costs, you know, like
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: credit card fees, labor, transport, reduce their profit. You know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: In many of those gas stations, the gas is actually
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a lost leader. In many of those gas stations, the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: station isn't even making a profit. They make all their
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: money when you go in. You know, it's a convenience
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: store too. It's when you buy something there where they
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: make most of their money. So if you just pull
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and get your gas and leave, you're not one of
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: their favorite customers. If you come there inside and buy
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: some stuff, you're really helping them out. Now, the oil companies,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: how much do they make on a gallon of gas? Well,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it depends on where you are in the country, but
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it's about ten to thirty cents the oil companies, that's
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the net profit. Now, remember their costs are very high,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you know, like it costs them like fifty percent of
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the price just to refine the gas and all that stuff.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: So on a gallon of gas, the oil company only
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: makes about ten to thirty cents and the rest of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that is mostly taxes, fees, all that sort of stuff.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: So the president wants to cut the federal gas tax.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: That'll bring some relief. And then the other thing, you
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: can release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. He was
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: talking about releasing fifteen million barrels. So far we only
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: released four million barrels four million. But the reason it's
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: going so the release is slow is we don't have
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: enough pipelines to get it all out there. We're limited
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: on the pipeline, so they're releasing it as fast as
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: they can. So you could release fifteen even forty million.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: You could release forty million barrels. This talk of even
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: doing that flood the market with forty million barrels. Now
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you can do it because the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: over four hundred million barrels in it and this is
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: what it's for in a time of war if you
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: need it, so you can you could easily do forty million.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: He's also going to lower prices on some other things.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: You know, if you go to a steakhouse, and steak
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: was always high priced, you know it's steak fifty dollars.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Now when you go to steakhouse seventy five dollars, eighty dollars,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: ninety five dollars, a hundre undred dollars for a steak.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And by the way, the restaurant is not gouging. In
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: most cases, the big fancy steakhouse and the steaks one
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars, they're not making any profit on it. Yeah,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, they're costs. They're paying like ninety
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: three dollars for the steak, and then the rest of
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that goes to staff, rent, all that sort of stuff.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: So when you ordered one hundred dollars steak, they're really
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: not so thrilled. If you order the side order the broccoli,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: then you're doing them a favor. The broccoli they can
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: charge you fifteen dollars for and it probably cost them
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: thirty cents. So all the profit now is in the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: side dishes. But the reason the price of steak went
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: so crazy is the shortage of cattle. It's been a
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: huge cattle shortage. The cattle supply, the cattle herd is
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: down to a seventy five year low. Part of it
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: was record drought and higher production costs, and then there
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: were all sorts of disease and illness that went through
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the American cattle. So the President is going to do
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: an executive order that will temporarily suspend all tariffs on
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: imported beef. So the first step, he's going to get
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a lot more imported beef in here. That will lower
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the price short term, allow a lot more imported beef
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to come in. Long term, they're trying to increase the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: herds right now. So he's rolling back all these crazy
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: regulations protection so the cattle people can start raising more cattle.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: There's been another problem. The ranchers are forced to do
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: all kinds of things. They got to put electronic ear
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: tags on all cattle and all that stuff. There's problems
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: with the grass that the cattle graze on. They have
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to all kinds of regulations. You're going to lift a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: lot of them. But the other problem is extremely dry
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: conditions that drought reduce the amount of grass available for grazing.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So but the president working on it. He'll bring the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: price of beef down. Price of eggs is already down.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: He's got that down. And yeah, beef prices up almost
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: f fifty just in the last five years. So yeah,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: so hey, the World Cup is coming to the United
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: States and everybody's already complaining about the prices, you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: thousands of ticket and then but it starts June eleventh
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: in Mexico City and then it comes here. But people,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at some of the things they're selling online.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: You know, there's seats that are going for thirty three
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars July nineteenth, MetLife Stadium. There's some seats for
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: thirty three thousand dollars. So this is like sports meets
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: met Gala. Just preposterous, ludicrous, irrational prices. It's triple the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: cost of the most expensive ticket ever sold before. Even
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: if you just want a regular seat, it's going to
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: be about two thousand and three thousand, absolutely ridiculous. I mean,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: they'll probably get people to pay for it. So I
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: guess we're wrong. I guess they can get away with it.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: They can get away with it. Hey, James Coomy, the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: totally dirtiest FBI director ever, James Comy Big interview yesterday.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I guess where he chose for the interview, Yeah, MSNBC
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: or MS whatever the hell it's called now, And he
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: went after Trump, saying he has a bottomless desire to
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: gain revenge. He's using the DOJ to target his enemies
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: from the guy who set the all time record from
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: using the justice Department to target enemies. He started with
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Trump and then they went after anybody anything with Trump.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: He's the guy Komy that pushed that crazy, ridiculous Russia hoax.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: He was the FBI director. He was so deep into
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: that Russian dossier that he knew it was fake. He
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: knew it was a fraud, he knew it was based
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: on nothing, he knew it was paid for by Hillary Clinton.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Yet he still went ahead on it and pushed that
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Russia hoax and nothing. Then tried to blackmail the president
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the first time he met him, showed him all this
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: disgusting stuff he had on him. Just a real Jay
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Edgar Hoover, but actually worse Jay Edgar Hoover had a
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: limit on it on how much you would do this.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Camy a really, really bad guy. So the fact that
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: he's doing these interviews means he's trying to do some
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: damage control. I think I guess he realizes he does
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: have a problem. Hey, you know, sixty Minutes landed a
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: big interview with Benjamin Nett Yahoo, and sixty Minutes was
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: stunned when the new CBS News president Barry Wise stepped
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: in and decided the interview the big exclusive, big interview
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: with Benjamin Nett Yahoo would be done by Major Garrett,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: not by the sixty minutes All Stars, not by Leslie Stall.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: They were unbelievably livid. They were furious, they were fuming
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: at sixty minutes. She handed it to Major Garrett. Why
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: because he's more of a real, real journalist, more of
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a real neutral sort of a reporter, would ask all
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the good questions, all the legitimate questions. Remember, Leslie Stall
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: has a history of lying in interviews, rigging interviews. The
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: most famous one was the Trump interview where he talked
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: about their surveillance on my campaign in twenty fifteen sixteen,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and she neared screaming at him, that's not true, that's
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: not true. There's no evidence. Well, of course it was true,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and there was evidence of it. It was later proven,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: so she was totally wrong. And every time she's interviewed
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: President Trump, he kind of enjoys it. He doesn't like
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: easy interviews, he likes those fake news. He likes fighting
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: with him. But every time she's interviewed him, she's made
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: up all kinds of crap instead of just trying to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: get information out of him, to try to catch him
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: in things, accusing of things, so it's not a real interview.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: You need Barry Weissee's absolutely right. So we can give
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: it to an actual, neutral, legitimate reporter anchor. So Major
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Garrett will do the interview. The anti Semitic attacks will
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: get to that coming up. It's a real problem. It's
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: out of control in London, thousands of thousands of Jews.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Actually march was just good, good organizing demanding the government
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: do something about it. But it happened in New York.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: It's happening in New York yesterday, out of control at
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a synagogue in Brooklyn. The mayor, this is the number
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: one responsibility of the mayor to speak out, to do
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: something when stuff like this happens. He's nowhere to be found.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: The police tried to do what they could, but you know,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: sometimes they're handcuffed more than the criminals. And they got
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: to start. And the mayor's got to do this. If
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: you're going to have these kind of violent, crazy anti
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Semitic and thanks Democrats for unleashing this crap on us,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: but if you're going to have those kind of protesters,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you gotta the city has to enforce all this stuff.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: You got to set up a barrier you know, if
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the synagogue is here, the barriers over there, they're across
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the street. They can yell and scream, they have the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: right to protest, hold up their signs, yell and scream,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: but across the street, so they can't menace, hurt, or
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: do anything to the people going in and out of
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the synagogue. So may still silent on this. It's just awful. Anyway,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: we'll get back to that. We've got a lot to
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: talk about. We'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: three two one zero seven ten.
