Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Mark Simone Show. Seven ten. We'll
- 0:08Speaker 1: get to Stephen Colbert and the replacement. Interesting behind the
- 0:12Speaker 1: scenes story on that. We'll get to, well, a lot
- 0:14Speaker 1: of stuff just ahead. I always warn you if you
- 0:19Speaker 1: got a crazy left wing liberal friend, a crazy Democrat
- 0:22Speaker 1: Trump hating friend, don't argue with them. Don't argue with
- 0:28Speaker 1: them whatever they say. Just agree with him and walk
- 0:30Speaker 1: a wh change the subject. You ever walk down the
- 0:33Speaker 1: street and there's a maniac on the corner and he's
- 0:35Speaker 1: screaming like a maniac yelling about something. You're not gonna
- 0:40Speaker 1: go debate the guy. You're not gonna go try to
- 0:42Speaker 1: reason with that. To let him scream, just ignore him.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Same thing with your left wing friends. They there's nothing
- 0:48Speaker 1: you can do, and they're told what to say. They're
- 0:53Speaker 1: like like sheep. In other words, they'll be watching MSNBC
- 0:56Speaker 1: or The New York Times or CNN and it'll say
- 0:59Speaker 1: a Trump is committing war crimes, taking out bridges and
- 1:04Speaker 1: blowing up power plants of war crimes. Now they'll run
- 1:06Speaker 1: around repeating it. You could go say to them, every
- 1:10Speaker 1: single war, we first day, we take out bridges and
- 1:13Speaker 1: power plants. Here's the documentation here, take a look at.
- 1:16Speaker 1: It's not gonna matter to them. The next day they'll
- 1:18Speaker 1: be yelling war crimes. There's nothing you could say to them.
- 1:23Speaker 1: It's Trump derangement syndrome. They go absolutely nuts. Yesterday at
- 1:27Speaker 1: this time they were yelling and screaming about how Trump
- 1:30Speaker 1: is gonna blow up. I ran, He's gonna bring the
- 1:34Speaker 1: world to an end. He's gonna cause World War three,
- 1:36Speaker 1: He's gonna blow up everything. This is the worst thing ever.
- 1:39Speaker 1: This is the most awful thing that ever happened. Last
- 1:43Speaker 1: night he announces We're not gonna do it. We've made
- 1:45Speaker 1: a deal. Now all day long, this is the worst
- 1:48Speaker 1: thing ever. This deal. These taco trump you chicken. So
- 1:52Speaker 1: don't argue with them. Now. They have Trump derangement syndrome.
- 1:56Speaker 1: I know you see your friends with them on Facebook
- 1:59Speaker 1: or Twitter or whatever where you see the crazy things
- 2:01Speaker 1: they post about Trump. And if they're Hollywood celebrity type,
- 2:06Speaker 1: then you know they're even more childish, they're more spoiled.
- 2:09Speaker 1: They yelled even crazier things. Now, I told you I
- 2:13Speaker 1: follow some of these people because just because it's so amusing.
- 2:16Speaker 1: One of my favorites is Lucy Arnez, daughter of Lucille
- 2:20Speaker 1: Ball and Desi Arnez. She's married to the fine actor
- 2:24Speaker 1: Lawrence Luckinbill. Lucy Arnez Luckinbill. I follow her all the
- 2:30Speaker 1: time on Facebook. Yesterday's post, Now, this is typical of her,
- 2:35Speaker 1: and she's a nice woman in real life, very nice woman, talented,
- 2:39Speaker 1: big Broadway star. And if she's ever appearing somewhere, she
- 2:42Speaker 1: does a beautiful cabaret sho singing, dancing. She's great. Go
- 2:47Speaker 1: see her. Trump the arrangement syndrome I've never seen. They
- 2:54Speaker 1: just get worse, It gets more and more insane, more hysterical.
- 2:58Speaker 1: So yesterday shest it's not like I need to post
- 3:03Speaker 1: this madness, but everyone has seen it. She goes on
- 3:06Speaker 1: and on about Trump. He's a threatener, he's a first
- 3:08Speaker 1: class bully. He knows he's screwed, and he's desperate, and
- 3:12Speaker 1: he's now utilizing mafiosa style techniques trying to scare these
- 3:16Speaker 1: poor folks into submission. She's talking about the most evil
- 3:21Speaker 1: terrorists on earth, the Iranian regime. She says, these poor folks,
- 3:27Speaker 1: imagine any other sane human who really did have to
- 3:30Speaker 1: defend this country. Telegraphing his moves like this. Two days
- 3:34Speaker 1: before she said, guy, he's not clear on what he
- 3:36Speaker 1: wants to do. Okay, here's the part. This is why
- 3:40Speaker 1: you don't argue. This is Lucy Arnez writing this on Facebook.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Now listen to this, But make no mistake. He is insane.
- 3:49Speaker 1: If left to his own devices, could give orders for
- 3:52Speaker 1: the extinction of an entire country. All right, now, listen
- 3:57Speaker 1: to this. You don't believe me. This man stood by
- 4:01Speaker 1: and watched as young children were shot in the head
- 4:05Speaker 1: for his sexual pleasure. To get his rocks off. He
- 4:11Speaker 1: has personally killed puppies with his bare hands, raped and
- 4:16Speaker 1: physically abused hundreds of young girls and boys. Now you're saying,
- 4:24Speaker 1: what the hell is she talking of a who knows? Again,
- 4:27Speaker 1: it's like the maniac on the corner who's yelling and screaming.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Just keep walking, don't even I mean, she actually believes
- 4:34Speaker 1: he has personally killed puppies with his bare hands. That
- 4:38Speaker 1: he let me read this sentence again. The man stood
- 4:41Speaker 1: by and watched as young children were shot in the
- 4:44Speaker 1: head for his sexual pleasure. This is Lucy Arnez posting
- 4:47Speaker 1: this on Facebook. We should be marching to the capitol
- 4:51Speaker 1: like his goons did and not leaving until the Congress
- 4:54Speaker 1: of Cowards takes action. So she's calling for January sixth
- 4:59Speaker 1: to the people of Iran, I say, we have no
- 5:01Speaker 1: fight with you. We are not with this monster. You
- 5:04Speaker 1: do not deserve this. We will make it up to
- 5:07Speaker 1: you again. She's a very nice person, talented, but when
- 5:14Speaker 1: it comes to Trump derangement syndrome, it's really bad. They
- 5:17Speaker 1: just go completely nuts, completely insane. Now I guess she's
- 5:24Speaker 1: not that relevant. Otherwise this would be a hell of
- 5:26Speaker 1: a lawsuit that he killed babies with his bare hands,
- 5:30Speaker 1: that he watched children being shot in the head. I mean,
- 5:32Speaker 1: this is a slander suit right there. But I know
- 5:35Speaker 1: he's not gonna do it. Stephen Colbert canceled. Fired. Besides
- 5:42Speaker 1: the politics of Stephen Colbert, he's a ratings disaster, lowest
- 5:47Speaker 1: ratings in the history of a late night show, loses
- 5:50Speaker 1: money every year. It's a total disaster. They have fired him.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Now they're going to replace him, as we told you,
- 5:58Speaker 1: with Byron Allen. He's a you know Byron Allen, the comedian.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Well you may not know that. Through the years, it's
- 6:04Speaker 1: been a great comedian. He's done some good TV shows
- 6:07Speaker 1: through the years. He built it into a a massive
- 6:09Speaker 1: Hollywood empire. He's a mogul, he's a billionaire. He's got
- 6:14Speaker 1: this huge Hollywood empire produces shows. So you heard that
- 6:19Speaker 1: they're going to take off Colbert and they're going to
- 6:20Speaker 1: replace him with two shows. The first half hour will
- 6:24Speaker 1: be Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed Show, which is a bunch
- 6:29Speaker 1: of comedians and it's very, very funny, and the second
- 6:32Speaker 1: half hour will be a game show. It's been on
- 6:35Speaker 1: the air for years. It's called funny you should ask
- 6:38Speaker 1: two contestants and then they have a panel of comedians.
- 6:41Speaker 1: You wonder what it really is. It's a total ripoff
- 6:43Speaker 1: copy of Hollywood Squares. But it's very good. It's very
- 6:47Speaker 1: well done. You can see it on YouTube. It's been there,
- 6:50Speaker 1: it's been on for years. So that'll be the second
- 6:52Speaker 1: half hour. But here's the deal, which you may not know.
- 6:58Speaker 1: They're not just cantling Colbert and putting on a comedy
- 7:03Speaker 1: show and a game show. Byron Allen has made a
- 7:05Speaker 1: deal to purchase the time. He's buying the hour from
- 7:09Speaker 1: eleven thirty to twelve thirty from CBS for tens of
- 7:12Speaker 1: millions of dollars, so it's like paid for infomercial, you know,
- 7:17Speaker 1: like on the weekends. A lot of radio stations we
- 7:18Speaker 1: do it. A lot of radio stations have infomercials where
- 7:22Speaker 1: somebody will buy the whole hour, a doctor or a lawyer, whoever,
- 7:27Speaker 1: they'll buy the hour and do their own show. Stations
- 7:30Speaker 1: do it because you make a lot of money. There's
- 7:32Speaker 1: millions of dollars a year in the Byron Allen is
- 7:36Speaker 1: buying the hour from CBS, tens of millions of dollars.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Now he'll sell his own advertising, and he'll get the
- 7:46Speaker 1: majority of the commercial units in the show. If there's
- 7:49Speaker 1: I don't know, let's say there's fifteen minutes of commercials
- 7:52Speaker 1: an hour, he'll get like twelve of them, and CBS
- 7:55Speaker 1: will get a few of them to sell, so they
- 7:56Speaker 1: can still make some money on this. But it's a
- 7:58Speaker 1: great model for CBS because when you do a show
- 8:03Speaker 1: like Colbert, let's say it costs you whatever, fifty million
- 8:06Speaker 1: a year in production costs. Now it costs nothing. In fact,
- 8:10Speaker 1: he will give you ten million a year, So it's
- 8:13Speaker 1: a much better business model. The networks in the good
- 8:16Speaker 1: old days, they were thrilled to spend fifty million a
- 8:19Speaker 1: year on a show because they'd make two hundred million
- 8:22Speaker 1: off it. Back then there were twenty million people watching,
- 8:25Speaker 1: fifty million people even in late night, twelve million people
- 8:28Speaker 1: watching Colbert. It's lucky if he's got nine hundred thousand now,
- 8:32Speaker 1: so it's a lot less revenue. And Colbert, you know,
- 8:35Speaker 1: had a staff of about one hundred and twenty people.
- 8:39Speaker 1: There were like fifteen twenty writers. The band had fifteen people,
- 8:43Speaker 1: crew everything, huge audience, running a big theater, a lot
- 8:47Speaker 1: of expense. This new Byron Allen show, no writers, no band,
- 8:54Speaker 1: very cheap to produce. Byron Allen will pay for everything.
- 8:58Speaker 1: So this is going to do very very well. You know,
- 9:01Speaker 1: when they took off Kimmel for that one week they
- 9:04Speaker 1: threw on, just threw on reruns of a game show,
- 9:07Speaker 1: it got triple the ratings of Kimmel. This thing will
- 9:11Speaker 1: get triple the ratings of Colbert and cost nothing. In fact,
- 9:16Speaker 1: they'll get paid to run it. Watch next one ago
- 9:19Speaker 1: will be Kimmel. His contract is up at some point
- 9:22Speaker 1: this year, they'll throw him off and they'll sell that
- 9:24Speaker 1: hour to somebody else. So, you know, just like on
- 9:27Speaker 1: the radio business, they used to do seven days a
- 9:30Speaker 1: week and now a lot of radio stations. They really
- 9:32Speaker 1: only do five days a week. Listenership is not as
- 9:35Speaker 1: big on the weekends, and it's actually more profitable. You
- 9:37Speaker 1: have a lot of infomercials and you try to have
- 9:40Speaker 1: really good ones, you know, like here at w R,
- 9:43Speaker 1: we got those infomercials on the weekend, but they're very good.
- 9:46Speaker 1: You know that doctor Arthur Perry really is one of
- 9:48Speaker 1: the great plastic surgeons. And we got what's her name,
- 9:52Speaker 1: man Margaret at Caroza very you know you want an
- 9:54Speaker 1: estate lawyer or whatever. She really is one of the best.
- 9:57Speaker 1: They're all really good people, and you got to be
- 9:59Speaker 1: really good to do these infomercials. You know, it costs
- 10:02Speaker 1: a lot of money. They spend a lot of money.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Some of these people spend five hundred thousand million dollars. Well,
- 10:08Speaker 1: you can't spend that every year unless you're making a
- 10:11Speaker 1: ton of money. And if you're not really good, you're
- 10:14Speaker 1: not going to be in business after a couple of years.
- 10:15Speaker 1: So they're all really good. But you're going to start
- 10:18Speaker 1: to see that now. So the networks will start selling
- 10:22Speaker 1: eleven thirty and the next thing you know, they'll start
- 10:28Speaker 1: selling ten to eleven in prime time. They'll sell that next,
- 10:31Speaker 1: and then they'll start selling an hour in daytime and
- 10:34Speaker 1: you're going to see a lot more of that. Hey,
- 10:39Speaker 1: New York Times a big in depth behind the scenes
- 10:43Speaker 1: on Iran on Trump. But the one thing they reveal
- 10:48Speaker 1: Pete Hegseith, General Cain, you know, all on board with
- 10:51Speaker 1: Trump going after Iran. The one person who was against
- 10:55Speaker 1: it when they were few, but the biggest was Vice
- 10:57Speaker 1: President Vance. He was totally apot going into a rent,
- 11:01Speaker 1: totally opposed, really argued against it, totally different opinion than Trump.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Now later when it seemed like it was one hundred
- 11:10Speaker 1: percent going to happen, then Vance got on board. Argued,
- 11:15Speaker 1: if you're going to do this, you got to have
- 11:16Speaker 1: overwhelming force. You've got to really achieve your objectives quickly.
- 11:21Speaker 1: So Dvance, a skilled politician, totally opposed until you can
- 11:27Speaker 1: see which way the wind is blowing, quickly jumps on
- 11:30Speaker 1: board and is all for it. So, Hey, the rescue
- 11:35Speaker 1: of that airman. First it was a pilot navigation officer.
- 11:41Speaker 1: They found the pilot first, and it was a couple
- 11:44Speaker 1: days later they got the navigation's officer. Now in both
- 11:48Speaker 1: cases it was boots on the ground. You know, when
- 11:51Speaker 1: they said well, we could better never go never better
- 11:53Speaker 1: send troops in there. We never better have boots on
- 11:55Speaker 1: the ground. That's too risky. Well not really, We've just
- 11:58Speaker 1: done it twice very successfully. The second one was the toughest.
- 12:04Speaker 1: That was the airman who was hidden in a cave.
- 12:07Speaker 1: He climbed, He was seriously wounded, yet somehow still climbed
- 12:12Speaker 1: seven thousand feet that's like three Empire State buildings up
- 12:17Speaker 1: into the mountains, hid in a cave. How did we
- 12:20Speaker 1: find him? Well, he's got a beacon that sends out
- 12:23Speaker 1: his exact location. But it turns out we've got new
- 12:27Speaker 1: technology that nobody knew about. You know, when we went
- 12:29Speaker 1: into Venezuela to get Maduro, we had new types of weapons.
- 12:33Speaker 1: We had a discombobulator. Nobody still knows what the hell
- 12:37Speaker 1: it is. But when you turn it on, everybody's standing there,
- 12:40Speaker 1: their whole body rattles in, shakes, blood starts coming out
- 12:42Speaker 1: of their ear, They can't function. Well, it turns out
- 12:45Speaker 1: we got another new piece of technology. Besides the beacon
- 12:51Speaker 1: that that officer could send out showing his location. We
- 12:55Speaker 1: have this new technology. I don't know what you would
- 12:57Speaker 1: exactly call it, Well, they call it ghost murmur. It
- 13:01Speaker 1: can pick up the heartbeat of that person from a
- 13:04Speaker 1: long way away. It's secret technology. It uses long range
- 13:08Speaker 1: quantum magnetometry and it finds the electromagnetic fingerprint of a
- 13:16Speaker 1: human heartbeat. It can trace him through that. It uses
- 13:21Speaker 1: artificial intelligence to look through his data make sure it's
- 13:25Speaker 1: his heartbeat, and it can isolate all the background noise
- 13:30Speaker 1: and other noises and focus in. It's an unbelievable piece
- 13:34Speaker 1: of technology. Now, there could be interference on this, but
- 13:37Speaker 1: they were very lucky that it was in a barren area,
- 13:41Speaker 1: mountainous area with nobody else around, so they were able
- 13:44Speaker 1: to detect his heartbeat. That could tell that he was alive,
- 13:48Speaker 1: that he was okay, and it took them right to him.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Unbelievable technology that we used. Now it turns out, you know,
- 13:57Speaker 1: when they first apparently this guy was able to radio
- 14:00Speaker 1: signal back to I guess it was typing. It must
- 14:05Speaker 1: have been texting. So the trapped airman up in that mountain,
- 14:08Speaker 1: hiding in the cave, first thing he texted back was
- 14:10Speaker 1: God is great. But that caused a lot of alarm
- 14:15Speaker 1: because that sounded like a la akbar. So when they
- 14:19Speaker 1: got that message, they thought this was a trap, that
- 14:23Speaker 1: it was Iran actually trying to send a fake signal,
- 14:26Speaker 1: because they said that sounds like something a Muslim would say,
- 14:29Speaker 1: so they were really alarmed by that. And apparently the
- 14:34Speaker 1: next thing he texted was a four digit number and
- 14:39Speaker 1: they didn't know what the hell it meant. Then they
- 14:40Speaker 1: realized he had texted ten thirteen. That's the police code
- 14:45Speaker 1: for a cop in real trouble and an urgent need
- 14:48Speaker 1: of assistance, So they figured out that's what it was.
- 14:50Speaker 1: So this guy sending out obtuse kind of signals there,
- 14:56Speaker 1: so they finally were able to text him. They knew
- 14:58Speaker 1: all about him and his background. He asked him a
- 15:00Speaker 1: question about his father that only he would know the
- 15:04Speaker 1: answer to, and he sent the correct answers, so then
- 15:06Speaker 1: they realized he really was the real thing. It wasn't
- 15:09Speaker 1: a trap, and that's when they went in and got
- 15:12Speaker 1: him with one hundred boots on the ground commandos. They
- 15:15Speaker 1: set up an airstrip near him to run the operation.
- 15:18Speaker 1: With the helicopters on the ground, they built a landing field.
- 15:22Speaker 1: They surrounded it with one hundred and fifty five planes aircraft.
- 15:26Speaker 1: They used a millions of drones and everything else to
- 15:29Speaker 1: protect the perimeter around that airfield. Boots on the ground,
- 15:32Speaker 1: helicopters on the ground, planes on the ground, and they
- 15:36Speaker 1: were there for about fourteen hours and maybe more, maybe
- 15:39Speaker 1: even a full day, and got out of there just
- 15:42Speaker 1: finding we lost a couple of aircraft, but that was
- 15:44Speaker 1: more because of the turned out. It was mud and
- 15:47Speaker 1: wet sand and they sunk into it. But boots on
- 15:50Speaker 1: the ground twice over the last week, both times very successful. Hey,
- 15:54Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three to two
- 15:57Speaker 1: one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
- 16:01Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten.
