- 0:00Speaker 1: This is seven to ten or boy, the Mark Simoon
- 0:04Speaker 1: Show starts now.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Well, oh, yesterday, well it was no I mean a
- 0:12Speaker 2: couple of time going to act actual snowflakes him and
- 0:15Speaker 2: I was freezing a little warmer today. It'll get back
- 0:17Speaker 2: into the fifties this weekend. That's good news. We got
- 0:20Speaker 2: a lot to get to. We'll get to Chuck Schumer
- 0:22Speaker 2: the end of his career. We'll get to Mamdani the
- 0:25Speaker 2: beginning of this Meyrill nightmare of his. We'll get to
- 0:29Speaker 2: another new Democrat candidate that's absolutely frightening. We'll get to
- 0:35Speaker 2: We'll get to everybody loves Raymond. They got big news there.
- 0:37Speaker 2: We'll get to the next media attacks that are coming,
- 0:42Speaker 2: the media doing it. Used to be report the news.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Now it's spend all day trying to get Trump on something.
- 0:49Speaker 2: We'll tell you what's what's coming next. The shutdown. The
- 0:53Speaker 2: vote will take place in the House later today that
- 0:56Speaker 2: will end the shutdown. They'll vote to end it. I
- 0:59Speaker 2: know there some people talking about posing some Democrats say
- 1:03Speaker 2: they will not go along with it. They'll end up
- 1:06Speaker 2: they'll end up ending it today. The vote will be
- 1:08Speaker 2: successful and the shutdown will end tonight probably six seven
- 1:12Speaker 2: o'clock somewhere around there, and then air traffic control will
- 1:17Speaker 2: start to get better. The air traffic controllers have to
- 1:20Speaker 2: come back. It's a slow process. It won't be probably
- 1:23Speaker 2: till Monday that gets back to normal. They'll start coming
- 1:26Speaker 2: back slowly over the weekend. Here's the Transportation Secretary Duffy.
- 1:30Speaker 3: We had four staffing triggers today.
- 1:33Speaker 2: On Saturday, there were eighty one.
- 1:35Speaker 4: I think Sunday was fifty three.
- 1:38Speaker 2: So real issues. I don't know what he's talking about.
- 1:41Speaker 2: They love to use that jargon staffing triggers, AH, staffing
- 1:45Speaker 2: trigger who knows what the hell that is.
- 1:48Speaker 3: But air traffic controllers are seeing and end to the
- 1:51Speaker 3: shutdown and feel more hopeful, and they're coming in to
- 1:55Speaker 3: their facilities.
- 1:56Speaker 4: So we're grateful to them for all that they're doing.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Yeah, some some when they weren't getting paid, you know,
- 2:01Speaker 2: they get paid for forty days, and some wouldn't work
- 2:03Speaker 2: without getting paid. They just called in sick. But some
- 2:06Speaker 2: even without getting paid, felt the duty to come in
- 2:09Speaker 2: and they did. And President Trump said he will try
- 2:11Speaker 2: to get each one that came in and worked during
- 2:13Speaker 2: the shutdown, get them a ten thousand dollars bonus, so
- 2:17Speaker 2: that'll be a good news. Once the shutdowns over, everybody
- 2:20Speaker 2: gets paid. Everybody gets their back pay, so nobody loses
- 2:24Speaker 2: a penny on this. And then the big issue then
- 2:27Speaker 2: after the shutdown, the Democrats got nothing out of it,
- 2:30Speaker 2: but nobody ever does no party, Republicans or Democrats. Fourteen
- 2:34Speaker 2: shutdowns never done any good for one side or another.
- 2:38Speaker 2: The shutdown caucus is oh for fourteen. It never accomplishes anything.
- 2:43Speaker 2: You could argue that one thing Democrats got out of
- 2:46Speaker 2: it is though, and they'll tell you this, well, the
- 2:48Speaker 2: one thing they got out of it. And now we've
- 2:50Speaker 2: brought the focus back the healthcare Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act,
- 2:54Speaker 2: fixing it. We brought the focus back on that. That'll
- 2:57Speaker 2: be in the spotlight. That's what one. But at some
- 3:03Speaker 2: point people just start to realize, wait a minute, there's
- 3:05Speaker 2: something this Obamacare was obviously a failure. First of all,
- 3:09Speaker 2: they called it the Affordable Care Act. If it's so affordable,
- 3:12Speaker 2: why would you need a subsidy. It's supposed to be
- 3:15Speaker 2: affordable by definition. But the other thing is people are
- 3:19Speaker 2: starting to realize, wait a minute, the fact that we're
- 3:22Speaker 2: talking about it, the fact that it's a major issue
- 3:24Speaker 2: means it's not working. If it was working great, you
- 3:26Speaker 2: wouldn't be hearing about it. It wouldn't be an issue.
- 3:29Speaker 2: The fact that it's an issue, the fact that you
- 3:31Speaker 2: had to shut down a government over it, means it's
- 3:34Speaker 2: a disaster. It's not working at all. It's a big problem.
- 3:38Speaker 2: President Trump keeps talking about, you know, redoing it. Come
- 3:41Speaker 2: up with something else. You know, people say, well, where's
- 3:45Speaker 2: the plan, what's the plan? He doesn't have one yet.
- 3:47Speaker 3: But.
- 3:49Speaker 2: You know, and he's not a healthcare expert, but he
- 3:51Speaker 2: certainly got a lot great a lot of people there
- 3:53Speaker 2: that are and they could come up with something much better. Remember,
- 3:56Speaker 2: President Trump's the only president ever in history who took
- 4:02Speaker 2: office having already run healthcare plans. You know, he's a
- 4:05Speaker 2: guy that had ten thousand employees and lots of companies
- 4:09Speaker 2: and lots and lots and lots and lots of people
- 4:11Speaker 2: to get healthcare for so over forty years he's been
- 4:14Speaker 2: buying and getting healthcare plans. And when you do that
- 4:17Speaker 2: for a major company with thousands of employees, you've got
- 4:20Speaker 2: to meet with these healthcare planned companies and go over them.
- 4:23Speaker 2: So he's got some exit's minor compared to a government
- 4:27Speaker 2: healthcare plan. But he's got more experience at this than
- 4:30Speaker 2: any other president ever has. Here he is on the.
- 4:33Speaker 5: Premiums have gone up like rocket ships, and I'm not
- 4:35Speaker 5: just talking about recent I want instead of going to
- 4:37Speaker 5: the insurance companies, I want the money to go into
- 4:39Speaker 5: an account for people with the people buy their own
- 4:42Speaker 5: health insurance. It's so good, the insurance will be better,
- 4:46Speaker 5: it'll cost less. Everybody's going to be happy. They're going
- 4:49Speaker 5: to feel like entrepreneurs are actually able to go out
- 4:52Speaker 5: and negotiate their own health insurance.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I mean that sounds good on paper, it
- 4:57Speaker 2: doesn't actually always work in reality now. But the thing is,
- 4:59Speaker 2: if let's say it's costing you one hundred thousand per
- 5:02Speaker 2: person to give them the healthcare, it might be cheaper
- 5:05Speaker 2: just to here's thirty thousand go out and buy regular healthcare.
- 5:08Speaker 2: So he's got something there. He hasn't got it figured out,
- 5:10Speaker 2: but he's got something there. Here's the real problem with Obamacare.
- 5:13Speaker 2: The idea was you'd make everybody go on it, and
- 5:17Speaker 2: then all the people under forty never need anything. They
- 5:21Speaker 2: don't have any big medical expenses, so they're just pumping
- 5:23Speaker 2: money in and that's paying for the older people who
- 5:26Speaker 2: need the services. But courts looked at that and it
- 5:31Speaker 2: looked like the courts were going to rule against that,
- 5:32Speaker 2: saying you just can't mandate it. You can't force people
- 5:37Speaker 2: onto healthcare. But so before the courts even got to that,
- 5:41Speaker 2: and it was the twenty seventeen legislation, they removed the mandate.
- 5:46Speaker 2: They just knew it wouldn't hold up, so that there
- 5:47Speaker 2: was no more mandate. And if younger people don't have
- 5:50Speaker 2: to get the healthcare, they don't because they don't get sick.
- 5:53Speaker 2: So without all the young people paying in, it was
- 5:56Speaker 2: just old people taking money out. So the Obamacare system
- 6:00Speaker 2: collapsed under the weight doctor Oz, I mean, he's one
- 6:04Speaker 2: of the guys that knows a little about this kind
- 6:06Speaker 2: of stuff, will help try to fix it. Here's doctor Alost.
- 6:08Speaker 3: I'm going to share with you numbers that will blow
- 6:10Speaker 3: your mind. And these are the actual numbers from CMS.
- 6:12Speaker 3: We believe four point four million people are not appropriately
- 6:18Speaker 3: enrolled in Obamacare, which means they're phantoms. They don't know
- 6:20Speaker 3: they have the insurance, they don't want the insurance, they
- 6:22Speaker 3: didn't need the insurance. They're already enrolled in some other policies,
- 6:26Speaker 3: so we as taxpayers are paying for four point four
- 6:29Speaker 3: million people to have full benefits for no good reason.
- 6:32Speaker 2: That's the other problem. If the government runs the healthcare.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Government has tended to be sloppy, stupid, and you know,
- 6:37Speaker 2: the private sector, it's their money, so they police themselves
- 6:40Speaker 2: a lot better.
- 6:41Speaker 3: It's over eleven million people who have Obamacare never use
- 6:45Speaker 3: their policies. They don't buy medications with it, they don't
- 6:47Speaker 3: see doctors and use it, which means they often don't
- 6:50Speaker 3: know they have it. And yet we're still stuck with
- 6:52Speaker 3: the bill. The President doesn't want that anymore. He wants
- 6:54Speaker 3: to waste fraud in the views taken out of the system.
- 6:56Speaker 3: He wants to take care of the people getting the
- 6:59Speaker 3: ACA Obama Cares insurance, and we want to bring privatelycarried
- 7:04Speaker 3: people into the system as well. And that's what he's
- 7:06Speaker 3: talking about. Let Americans use their money wisely.
- 7:09Speaker 2: That's a good argument. You know, government overpays like ten
- 7:12Speaker 2: thousand percent for things, you know, a simple thing like
- 7:15Speaker 2: pav in the highway. If the private sector does it
- 7:19Speaker 2: pave a a mile of highway forty thousand dollars, when
- 7:23Speaker 2: the government does it a million, a mile. I mean,
- 7:25Speaker 2: he's just overpay for everything, so it's a good argument. Now,
- 7:28Speaker 2: Hakim Jeffreys, that's silly. The House leader of the Democrats,
- 7:35Speaker 2: such a dumb guy, but he was asked about what
- 7:38Speaker 2: doctor Oz said.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Here, Nobody who's serious in this country takes doctor Oz seriously,
- 7:44Speaker 1: no one, And I mean it's shocking that the guy
- 7:49Speaker 1: even was confirmed. I'm not going to respond to any
- 7:53Speaker 1: comments from Randalls like doctor Oz, who is woefully unqualified
- 7:57Speaker 1: to be in whatever position he holds any administration.
- 8:01Speaker 2: He's a joke. That's pretty funny, actually, I think. I
- 8:06Speaker 2: just think of doctor Oz, one of the greatest heart
- 8:09Speaker 2: surgeons in America, an incredible medical career at all the
- 8:12Speaker 2: top hospitals. You couldn't have a bigger career as a
- 8:15Speaker 2: doctor or in the medical world. Hakim Jeffries IQ of
- 8:21Speaker 2: ninety ninety five maybe never did a thing in his life,
- 8:25Speaker 2: doesn't know anything, has no skills, so he had to
- 8:27Speaker 2: go in a government. Think thinks Oz as a joke.
- 8:30Speaker 2: Hakim Jeffries. Oz has literally, well almost literally double the
- 8:35Speaker 2: IQ of Hakim Jeffries.
- 8:37Speaker 3: You know he didn't understand the message.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Well his eyes responding to Hakim Jeffries.
- 8:41Speaker 3: You know, he didn't understand the message. That's an important one,
- 8:44Speaker 3: so he tried to attack the messenger with an ad
- 8:46Speaker 3: hominem approach. But you know, that's not how you deal
- 8:48Speaker 3: with the challenges that twenty four million people are facing
- 8:52Speaker 3: now because the Democratic Party has not been able to
- 8:54Speaker 3: really put forward a program that could work. Just throwing
- 8:57Speaker 3: more money at it is not a strategy that's attacked
- 9:00Speaker 3: that has already created immense amounts of fraud in the system.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Yeah, very good point. Now I say nothing came of
- 9:05Speaker 2: the shutdown, Well, some good came out of it. We're
- 9:08Speaker 2: probably going to get rid of Chuck Schumer. His term
- 9:12Speaker 2: is till he doesn't run for reelection till twenty twenty eight,
- 9:15Speaker 2: so he actually serves till January of twenty twenty nine.
- 9:19Speaker 2: That's three more years of this guy. But the good
- 9:22Speaker 2: news is Democrats can't take three more years of this guy.
- 9:25Speaker 2: They want to remove him as House leader, a Senate leader.
- 9:28Speaker 2: They want to remove him as the Senate leader, which
- 9:31Speaker 2: will be a huge humiliation for him. President Trump, I
- 9:34Speaker 2: just went too far.
- 9:34Speaker 5: He thought he could break the Republicans, and the Republicans
- 9:38Speaker 5: broke him. We have good policy. They have bad policy,
- 9:41Speaker 5: and there's something I don't know if it's Trump derangement
- 9:44Speaker 5: or they just crazed. They're like crazed lunatics. But you know,
- 9:47Speaker 5: we have just great policy.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Yeah, now Schumer's finished. They all hate him. The high
- 9:52Speaker 2: falutin Morning Joe, Rachel Maddow type shows, the John Stewart,
- 9:57Speaker 2: they're going after him like crazy. But even the dumb Show,
- 10:00Speaker 2: even the low IQ shows, and sometimes they're a better
- 10:03Speaker 2: barometer because if the low IQ shows have figured it out,
- 10:05Speaker 2: that means everybody has like listen to the view when
- 10:08Speaker 2: they talk about Chuck Schumer.
- 10:09Speaker 4: So the bottom line is the Democrats went into this
- 10:12Speaker 4: after a blue wave out of the American people saying
- 10:15Speaker 4: we do want the opposition, the working people want the
- 10:19Speaker 4: Democratic Party to fight for them, and now they just
- 10:22Speaker 4: cave and surrendered. I think Chuck Schumer his days are
- 10:25Speaker 4: over and he cannot put that and he cannot keep
- 10:29Speaker 4: Hawcketts together. If he cannot keep hisquokets together, he needs
- 10:32Speaker 4: to go.
- 10:33Speaker 2: He needs to be Yeah, the audience applotting wildly to
- 10:36Speaker 2: get rid of Chuck Schumer. Hey, there's a lot of
- 10:40Speaker 2: media attacks coming against Donald Trump. You're gonna be hearing
- 10:42Speaker 2: about these for the next day or two. First is
- 10:45Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein. You're gonna keep hearing about secret emails, undiscovered
- 10:50Speaker 2: email he knew emails have emerged. Epstein says, Trump knew
- 10:54Speaker 2: all about everything, about the women, about all of it. Well,
- 10:56Speaker 2: none of this is true. It turns out they're talking
- 11:00Speaker 2: about there their emails where he's writing. Michael wolf the sleezy,
- 11:04Speaker 2: dirty tabloid writer, the sleezy, dirty gossip writer, contact at
- 11:09Speaker 2: Epstein at some point and Epstein's writing back and forth.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Now everybody knows about Michael Wolfe, I mean people that
- 11:15Speaker 2: deal with him. Guy will say anything about Trump. You
- 11:19Speaker 2: if you don't believe me, just go check his Instagram.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Every day he makes an Instagram video where he's sitting
- 11:24Speaker 2: in a different part of his house or he's in
- 11:26Speaker 2: his backyard looks like the Hamptons and he's just sitting
- 11:29Speaker 2: there bad mouthing Trump the worst attacks in the world.
- 11:32Speaker 2: None of them are true. Go back and watch the
- 11:34Speaker 2: old ones. You'll see nothing he said ever came true.
- 11:36Speaker 2: And he's written two books about Trump, and he gets
- 11:39Speaker 2: himself on every Sunday show. It just makes up crap
- 11:43Speaker 2: about Trump and a lot of times people a lot
- 11:46Speaker 2: of people that are media savvy. When you get one
- 11:48Speaker 2: of those guys, one of those reporters, writers calms that
- 11:53Speaker 2: will print anything and they don't really verify it. They'll
- 11:57Speaker 2: print anything you tell them. You know, you can tell
- 11:59Speaker 2: him anything, so you just make up crap and tell him.
- 12:02Speaker 2: You know, if you're talking to some very very top
- 12:04Speaker 2: journalist the world, you gotta be careful. You know, if
- 12:07Speaker 2: you tell him something that's not true, he's gonna check
- 12:09Speaker 2: it and then he's not gonna trust you anymore. But
- 12:11Speaker 2: when you're talking to him Michael, well, if you can
- 12:13Speaker 2: tell him anything and he'll he'll run with it. So
- 12:16Speaker 2: that's Epstein talking to Wolf. And it's just it's it's
- 12:20Speaker 2: just nonsense. It's this is back in twenty nineteen, so
- 12:23Speaker 2: it's years ago. It was two thousand and sixteen or
- 12:27Speaker 2: twenty eleven or something. It's way way way back. It's
- 12:29Speaker 2: it's a long time ago. And he says Trump Trump
- 12:32Speaker 2: knew about all the girls. Well, he probably did, because
- 12:36Speaker 2: I remember way back when, twenty years ago. More than that,
- 12:41Speaker 2: Trump warning me and other people to stay the hell
- 12:43Speaker 2: away from Epstein. In fact, I mean I knew Epstein
- 12:47Speaker 2: not well. But I one reason is Trump and two
- 12:51Speaker 2: other people who you wouldn't know, always warned me stay
- 12:54Speaker 2: away from this guy. Hey, don't go near this guy.
- 12:56Speaker 2: And then the other thing is there about mar A
- 12:59Speaker 2: law Go. You know, Trump banned Epstein from mar A
- 13:04Speaker 2: Lago when Epstein first got to Palm Beach as a
- 13:06Speaker 2: very wealthy guy. When you're a wealthy hotshot and new
- 13:10Speaker 2: to Palm Beach, first thing you do is you joined
- 13:12Speaker 2: mar A Lago and he was spending a lot of
- 13:14Speaker 2: time there, but he was hitting on a young girl
- 13:16Speaker 2: that worked in the locker room. Turned out it was
- 13:19Speaker 2: the daughter of a member. Trump went crazy, banned him,
- 13:22Speaker 2: threw him out of the club, never spoke to him again.
- 13:24Speaker 2: So you're going to see one of these emails. Epstein
- 13:28Speaker 2: tells Michael Wolfe. I was never a member of mar
- 13:30Speaker 2: A Lago. I was never a member. As if Trump
- 13:33Speaker 2: were lying now, it could be was never a member
- 13:35Speaker 2: because back in those days, if you were a friend
- 13:37Speaker 2: of Trump's you didn't have to be a member. You
- 13:40Speaker 2: could go anyway. It wasn't that formal. Whenever you wanted
- 13:43Speaker 2: to go, you just called Trump's office and they would
- 13:45Speaker 2: put your name on at the gate to come in
- 13:47Speaker 2: anytime you want. You you'd call Rona or before that,
- 13:51Speaker 2: you'd call Norma and you could go to mar Alagoa.
- 13:53Speaker 2: A lot of his friends just went there, some of
- 13:56Speaker 2: them famously not paying for anything, charging everything to Trump.
- 13:59Speaker 2: But you do that back then, So don't trust any
- 14:03Speaker 2: of these emails. Now. The other thing that's going to
- 14:05Speaker 2: come out, you know, Letitia James is in big trouble
- 14:08Speaker 2: mortgage fraud. They came up with all this stuff. She
- 14:11Speaker 2: lied and lied to the bank, lied to you know,
- 14:14Speaker 2: mortgage fraud. She claimed it would be a primary residence
- 14:17Speaker 2: when it couldn't be set it on several documents. This
- 14:19Speaker 2: is all fraud and it also is going to lead
- 14:22Speaker 2: to indictments for a tax evasion all that kind of stuff.
- 14:26Speaker 2: So they're going to start to go after this that
- 14:28Speaker 2: somehow whoever got these documents and dug up this fraud,
- 14:32Speaker 2: got them illegally, that it was illegal for them to
- 14:35Speaker 2: even see these documents or get them. So they're going
- 14:38Speaker 2: to try all that. You're going to see that coming
- 14:40Speaker 2: the next few days. They're also going to be going
- 14:41Speaker 2: after cash Patel for they're gonna claim he leaks stuff
- 14:47Speaker 2: or he revealed stuff too early. They're also going to
- 14:49Speaker 2: go after his use of private jets. You know, look
- 14:52Speaker 2: at this he went it's got a girlfriend in the
- 14:55Speaker 2: Puerto Rico or someplace. He went down there twice to
- 14:58Speaker 2: see her and took private jets both times. Well, a
- 15:01Speaker 2: lot of private jet use. But you're gonna the truth
- 15:04Speaker 2: is as FBI director, he's not allowed to fly commercial.
- 15:08Speaker 2: That's the that's the rule, that's the law. He's got
- 15:11Speaker 2: to fly on a private jet at all times. So
- 15:14Speaker 2: now President might still be unhappy that he's using private
- 15:19Speaker 2: jets a little too much, but so expect these attacks
- 15:22Speaker 2: to come. We'll get to Mom Donnie coming up. He's
- 15:25Speaker 2: done a couple of interesting interviews yesterday. What he's going
- 15:27Speaker 2: to be up to. Democrats have somebody even worse than
- 15:30Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. They're about to unleash on us. We'll get
- 15:33Speaker 2: to that coming up, and a whole lot more. Hey,
- 15:35Speaker 2: and if you use open table, we're going to warn
- 15:38Speaker 2: you about a few things coming up, and we'll take
- 15:41Speaker 2: some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
- 15:45Speaker 2: ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero
- 15:48Speaker 2: seven ten
