• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Mark Simone Show Live from ther
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Life Back Studios. Welcome back, I just got here. I
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: guess they mean them yesterday. Well, welcome back. But hey,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: we've got a lot to get to. We'll get to Iran,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Lindsey Graham, we'll get to the President's
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: speech Thursday night, we'll get to FIFA, the latest on
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Legionnaire's disease, and a whole lot more coming up. Lindsey
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Graham Nation mourning his very sudden, surprising passing and the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: governor appointing his sister Darlene to take off over for him.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: And this is just for a few months. It'll be
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: for about seven months until January. They'll have a special
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: election and I'm not sure yet who's going to run. Well,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a bunch of candidates are possible. His sister Darlene spoke
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: yesterday after the governor nomine actually you gave her the seat.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: She'll now be a Senator for about seven months.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I don't want to thank the governor for selecting me
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: to serve the remainder of Lindsay's term, and is such
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: an honor. Lindsay has always been there for me and
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: now I will be there for him.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Wow, it's a big loss, a big, big loss for
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Lindsay Graham an important advisor, confidant. He's also
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a guy who could go all over the place in
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the Capitol and get things done. Whether you needed to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: win over a Republican or a Democrat, Lindsay Graham would
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: do that. So she'll be great as far as voting,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: but you won't be able to do all that that
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: other stuff.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: My brother was the most amazing person, outstanding leader, and
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: just a genuinely good man.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: He really was a good guy. I mean those that knew,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: nobody could. I've never heard anybody not like Lindsay Graham personally.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Some people didn't like some of the voting Iraq war amnesty.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was like McCain. I mean, everybody loved
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the guy, but sometimes he'd crossed the aisle when you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: didn't want him to. But here's the governor of Tennessee, McMaster,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: good friend and ally of Donald Trump. He's the one
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: that picked her to be the acting senator for seven months.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Limsay took care of his little sister in years long departed.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: It's my honor to ask his little sister, Darlene Graham
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: to finish his work for him.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Now, so it looks like a burst a order. Now,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: he should have taken better care of himself. He should
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: have gotten checked out a little more, had that looked
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: at more. It runs in the family. It's genetic. His
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: father died at just about the same age, same thing.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: He neglected that. And you know the problem is that,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you know, when you got that kind of heart stuff
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in your family, in your genes, you really got to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: get it looked at all the time. Now, doctor Oz,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: who's a great heart specialist, explains this.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: One of the things with aortic dissection I bought a
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: simple model of demonstrator is you don't have much warning.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: And the pro cautionary tale is keep your blood pressure
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: low because that is the one risk factor that seems
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: to be recurrent. The second is if you have the
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: worst pain you've ever had, you should go see a doctor. Unfortunately,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: with aortic dissection, even then it's sometimes too late. About
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: thirty percent of people die within the first day, more
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: than half a day, within two days.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The other problem it was a pretty big drinker.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, he loved to drink. That doesn't help that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: at all. So again, everybody loved the guy that worked
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: with him, Democrats, Republicans. He was like from the good
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: old days, you know, the tip O'Neil days, where after
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: work they'd all go to a bar together, the Republicans,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the Democrats, they'd have lunch together. That doesn't exist anymore.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: But in the case of Lindsay Graham, a lot of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: senators speaking out about him. Senator Graham was a.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Very forceful and quick witted presence in every room that
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: he entered. His warm nature made everyone his friend, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: I feel blessed to be one of them.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: From every senator, great tribute.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: It's difficult to believe that Lindsey Graham is no longer
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: here with us, that we won't run into him at
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: a Minia day or share a joke with him at
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: this afternoon's vote. The halls of the Senate already feel empty.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Without him again. Touching tributes from everybody. However, there was
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: one senator who's a cheap, hustling, pandering, just a cheap politician.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Who am I talking to? Everybody says they're all saying
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: right now, Schumer, Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer with the big glasses,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: pretends he's doing a tribute to Lindsay Graham, but it's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: actually a paid political announcement.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: I urged Senator Thun in honor of Lindsey to put
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: the sanctions, the Russian sanctions bill on the floor immediately.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It will pass.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: Overwhelmingly and help our allies in Ukraine.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's a very touching tribute in honor of Lindsay.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Could you pass this bill that I've been pushing for
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a while in honor of Lindsay, maybe you could make
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a donation to my campaign. What a cheap little politician.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Schumer is always out of touch, always inappropriate. So we
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: hit Iran very very hard last night. In fact, we
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: killed a major leader of the IRGC, major Iranian Republic
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Guard leader, Revolutionary guard leader was killed last night. So
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: this is going to go on, night after night. We're
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: going to keep hitting them very very hard. The peace
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: socks are continuing. At the same time.
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: We had a deal yesterday or the day before yesterday,
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: was all done and then they broke up that deal
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: immediately because they found out there was something the deal
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: they didn't like, and they're wired differently and we're not
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: going to put.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Up with it. Yeah, So they're a little crazy. They're
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: negotiating while they don't have the capacity to hit us
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: back in anyway, so they're firing into other countries. They've
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: hit like four or five neighboring countries with a rocket
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: with a drone. So the Straight of hor Moose, we
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: have closed it down. We can reopen it whenever we want.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: We've done it before. In fact, there was stopped about
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a week ago. But there was a six week period
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: where we had the straight open the southern route, but
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: we got eight hundred and twenty tankers through. Three hundred
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and eighty million barrels of oil came through. It's still
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: open to some extent, just lower traffic than usual. On Sunday,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: fourteen ships came through. That's a lot lower, and only
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: five hundred thousand barrels of crewed came through. But it
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: is technically open. We're going to the president negotia like
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a business guy, like a tough New York City business negotiator.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: So they want a toll on all the ships, or
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Ran wants to collect a toll, So then we are
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: announcing we're tolling them, and actually the money will be
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to reimburse us for protecting the Straight.
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: I want to be reimbursed because we're protecting a very
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: rich portion of the world. We're spending money, and so
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: what we've done is we are going to be reimbursed
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: for protection we're protecting by the countries that we're helping.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll reimburse us. It's kind of a soprano ish
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: kind of thing there. You've got to pay us everywhere.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: But this is all just negotiating. Remember Trump just loves
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to switch tactics, change, I mean, he just he's all
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: over the place, but he knows what he's doing. In
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the end, it always works out.
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: So we're knocking out all of their offensive capability, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: we're controlling the straits. We're putting the blockade back, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: it's a blockade not for anybody but I ran. In
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: other words, anybody doing business with Iran can't go through.
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: Everyone else we'll be able.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: To go through.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're letting other ships go through. Also, remember
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: we don't use any oil from the Straight of horm Mooose.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: We don't need a drop of oil from there. We've
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: never used it. We use all our own oil. In fact,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: we have more oil than we need. We are now
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the biggest exporter of oil in the world.
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: We're taking on all of their capability for anything having
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: to do with the straight with a hormone straight and
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: I think in the end we will end up discontrolling
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: the whole thing.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably the strongest military in the world. The President's
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: going to make a speech Thursday night, primetime address. This
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: is a thing of the past, you know, to make
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: these primetime address network TV, and nobody watches network TV anymore.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: If you're the biggest show on primetime on a Thursday night,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: maybe you got two or three million viewers. Not much.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I mean he has more viewers. The five has like
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: four million viewers. Sean Hannity Radio show is almost seventeen
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: million listeners. So at night, where it used to be
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: everybody watching primetime TV, everybody is streaming. It's Netflix, it's
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Cable News, it's Peacock, it's HBO Max, it's Apple TV.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: So you can do a primetime address on television. It
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't reach a lot of people now. The President last
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: night on Greg Kelly Reports, great show on Newsmax. Every
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: night at nine you should be watching Greg Kelly. The
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: President calling in to talk about all of this the deal.
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: We hit him very hard last night every time they
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: send a drone. We hit him very hard. But we
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: had a deal. But nobody knows we had a deal.
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: It was a done deal and then they broke it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he will talk Thursday night, but it is more.
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: Now we're going to guard it, and we're gonna get
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: paid for guarding it a lot of money. But we
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: just want to be reimbursed for doing all of this,
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: for putting our people in danger.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Now. Apparently Thursday night speech will not just be a rant.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: It'll be a whole bunch of topics. He'll cover a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: little everything. He will talk about election, you know, safety,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: securing our elections, to Save America Act. He'll talk about,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you know, elections in Georgia that didn't seem legitimate. You
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: got to do this just to rile up the left.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: They'll go absolutely Nu's MSNBC will cut out of the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: speech right then and there. He will talk about Los Angeles.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It is a very strange situation in Los Angeles where
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: this guy Pratt is in the lead. Everybody goes to vote,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: he seems to be the winner, and then all of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a sudden, these male in votes come in from somewhere
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and there are one hundred percent against Pratt. It's just
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: statistically impossible. I mean, it just doesn't make any sense.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: So he's going to bring that up. That will drive
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the left absolutely crazy. It hasn't really exploded yet as
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a big story. But in Maine, Ice killed somebody. They
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: shot somebody. They were looking for an illegal criminal alien.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: This wasn't the guy they were looking for. But this guy,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and I don't know what it was all about, took
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: his car and tried to run down ICE agents. They
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: had to fire. Witnesses back this up. There are a
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: couple of witnesses that were just in the streets that
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the guy tried to run them over with his car,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: So it was a justified firing. But you can have
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: all these Democrats try to make this a big issue.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: They think it'll help Democrats win the Senate seat in Maine.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Here's Markee.
• 11:39
  Speaker 9: This morning, Ice murdered a man in Maine. I am
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: horrified by this attack and devastated that it happened here
• 11:46
  Speaker 9: in New England. Another life taken and another family left
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: grieving because of Trump's thugs. We cannot be silent in
• 11:56
  Speaker 9: the face of this corrupt criminal organization.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: So you're going to hear a lot of that Trump's
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: thugs and their Nazi stormtroopers. They murdered a guy, they
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: shot somebody and cold well, they'll forget to mention the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: guy was in his car and trying to run them over,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: who was trying to ram them with his car. He
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: was ordered to stop, order to get out, and instead
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: tried to ram his car into them. So that's ald.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: That's a big thing to leave out, and you'll hear
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: democrats leave that out of every description. Hey, this Legionnaire's
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: disease is scaring a lot of people. It's all over
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the Upper east Side. Two cases have now been discovered
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: on the Upper west Side. It happens on the top
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: of the apartment building in that water tank, the water
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: cooler tower there, and it's Legionella virus and the bacteria
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and it can just suddenly naturally form in the water.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And the thing that really makes it happen is heat,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of heat still water that gets very, very
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: very warm. And this Legionnaire's outbreak, we think as a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: result in large part because of the heat wave fourth
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of July weekn remember the three days of one hundred
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: degree heat that may have caused a lot of that
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: to spread. Now tomorrow we've got another heat wave. It's
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: going to be one day. It's going to be ninety eight.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Won't quite feel as bad as that Fourth of July
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: stuff because it's a little less humid, But it's another
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: heatwave for one day, and they're worried that could start
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: some more legionnaires spreading into those water towers the heat
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the still water. And they're supposed to the solution of this,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: you got to inspect every tower, test every tower and
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: clean it up if there's any legionnaires in there. City's
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: supposed to do that. Apparently they're not doing it at
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the speed they should be doing. It's going slowly, and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Mayor Mom Dannie is busy with TikTok and speeches and
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: all that, and he's not a manager. This is the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: first job he's ever had. This is where you need
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: some real management guys who can increase the effort. Make
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: sure you get all these towers checked as fast as possible.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: But we'll get back to mom Donnie. It's a FIFA
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: FIFA week, it's over Sunday. Sunday is the final FIFA game,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: thank goodness. And then they get the hell out of here.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: And is the All Star game tonight or tomorrow? The
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: home run derby was last night. Tonight's the All Star
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: game National League versus American League. It's one of the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: silliest things in the world. I like that home run derby.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good. But this All Star game, so that's tonight,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and then I'm sure Thursday night it's a big FIFA game.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: So the President not taking that into consideration. If you
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: do do a prime time speech against that, Hey, we'll
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two one
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. Give wr a bre said on
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio app.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: To hear Mark Simone and all the hosts in an instance.
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: Now back to the Mark Simo show on wor.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Well, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three to
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten. Let's go to Bob in Montvale,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. Bob, how you doing, Bob?
• 15:25
  Speaker 11: Oh?
• 15:26
  Speaker 12: I'm sorry, Hello, Let's go Bob. I'm sorry takes for
• 15:30
  Speaker 12: taking my call. You know, you keep broadcasting that the
• 15:36
  Speaker 12: two governors and Mandani were at the soccer game, but contractually.
• 15:42
  Speaker 12: Does that mean they got paid.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: No, Now, why would they be at the soccer games.
• 15:51
  Speaker 12: From the contract?
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's supposed to help promote the soccer. It's good
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: for business, it's good for tourism, brings in a lot
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: of revenue, a lot of money. Tell you have bussed
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to go there, and you pretend that you're interested and
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you're watching it. It's a all right. I just wondering
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: when you're a governor or mayor. I mean, there's a
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: lot of great parts of the job, but then you
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: got to sit through a lot of stuff. Now, Mom,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Donnie might be a soccer fan growing up where he did,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: But I'm a feeling that Kathy Hochel is not a
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: soccer fan, and she has the attention span of like
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a mosquito. So I really don't think she wants to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: sit there for a couple of hours. But usually there's
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that you can mingle with. You know,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: people think it's you could be the mayor of New York. Wow,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: you can be the governor. Sounds pretty powerful, glamorous, But
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: half the day you're meeting with the water Commission, you're
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: meeting with you got to go through some town Hall
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: in the Bronx. It's it's got a lot of stuff
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: in that job you really wouldn't want to do. Let's
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: go to Mike and Saint James. Mike, how you doing fine?
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: Mark?
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: Thank you?
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: Is this an important question for the Iran situation.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: Is Lloyd's of London ensuring the ships?
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's the problem. We can open the straight
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: or declare it open and say that the US Navy
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: will escort you through the Strait. You'll have nothing to
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: worry about, but they still can't go unless the insurance
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: company says okay, and that's Lloyd's of London for most
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: of these tankers, and the tanker the tanker the actual
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: ship costs a couple of million and there's millions of
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: dollars worth of oil on the ship. So Lloyd's of
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: London has been saying no. That's part of the problem
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: because they'd be on the hook for five, six seven
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: million dollars if anything happens to the ship, So they're
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: not given the okay that fast. We've gotten some ships
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to go through, and we have been pushing Lloyd's of
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: London to allow some ships to go through. So it's
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: not the usual traffic flow, but there are ships going
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: through the strait of horn Moose. Let's go to Jay
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey. Jay, how you doing?
• 17:50
  Speaker 13: Yeah, Mark, good morning. You know we don't even report
• 17:53
  Speaker 13: anymore about the fellows trying to kill the president. You know,
• 17:56
  Speaker 13: yesterday this guy comes to the White House with a
• 17:58
  Speaker 13: gun and that's not even news anymore. Isn't that crazy?
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 18:04
  Speaker 13: Well, how did you find out if it was a
• 18:06
  Speaker 13: bigger deal?
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: It was reported, that's how you knew about it.
• 18:10
  Speaker 13: Yeah, but it would have been a much bigger deal
• 18:13
  Speaker 13: if it was a different president. Trump gets shot out
• 18:15
  Speaker 13: every day.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Well, the guy didn't come close to actually doing anything,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: but uh, yeah, it happens too frequently. There's all kinds
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: of nuts roaming around there around the White House. Let's
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: go to Randall in Maryland. Randall, how you doing, Mark?
• 18:31
  Speaker 11: Yes, d it's something that's bothered me about the Butler
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: assassination attempt. Yeah, the when the shots rang out, The
• 18:43
  Speaker 11: shot that hit Trump was what's a matter of seconds
• 18:48
  Speaker 11: before the shot that killed the assassin.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, let me ask you a better question. This
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: is a good question, and I see you're watching the assassin.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: You're wondering about this so what did you say to yourself?
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: You know what, I really want to know this, but
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I'll wait two years before I call and ask. Aren't
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: you a little late to be?
• 19:07
  Speaker 11: Well? Yeah, a lot late, but yah, I still don't
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: have an answer.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Well, who do you have an asking?
• 19:17
  Speaker 11: Well, well, why is the timeline between those two shots,
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: the shots that killed the assassin and the one that
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: said Trump. If there's only a matter of seconds, how
• 19:25
  Speaker 11: did they draw a bead on the guy?
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Uh? Well, that's a good question. Now I'm trying to
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: remember it was you got to call like the next week,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: not two years later. I'm trying to remember. There was
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a local police on the ground coordinating with the Secret Service.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: There were snipers on other rooftops. Apparently after the shots
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: were fired, there was chaos, but a couple of local
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: cops realized what rooftop it was, radioed those snipers. They
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: took their scopes, looked at the rooftops, saw the assassin,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: and then killed them. Now you're supposed to check out
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the roof top before this even starts. It was a
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: tremendous error by the Secret Service because.
• 20:07
  Speaker 11: But it was bang bang. It was just bang bang.
• 20:09
  Speaker 11: It was like a choice player first.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, these guys are good, they're pretty quick, but
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to That was pretty good. Yeah, but you're
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: supposed to check out all the rooftops ahead of time.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: The rule is for the Secret Service's supposed to scope
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: out a thousand yards in every direction, and this building
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: was like two hundred yards out. So they obviously didn't
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: do their job. This was the Biden Secret Service. Not
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to blame it, not him, but you can put some
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: blame in that area because he when he was vice president,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: there was a Secret Service agent that he liked a lot,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: just she became like part of the family. So when
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: he became president, he made her the director of the
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Secret Service. She was not really qualified. And if you
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: were watching Butler, you saw those those young agents, remember
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: those two females who were They seemed to go into panic.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: They were just flailing around the president. And then remember
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: they couldn't holster their weapon. They looked awful. It took
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: too long to get him in the car. It took
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: too long for the car to speed away. Took at
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Reagan getting shot outside the Hilton in Washington. He was
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: in the car and gone within three seconds. In the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: case of trumpet was like a minute and a half
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: way too long there. Hey, when we come back, the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: brilliant columnist Liz Peak. We'll talk to her next on
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: seven to ten. Woor the Mark.
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: Simo Show on seven tenor.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Well, well listen the brilliant column list Liz Peak. You
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: see here all over television, but most important thing is
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: read her column. You can get it at Foxnews dot com.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: You can get it at The Hill dot com, or
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: check out her website lizpeak dot com. Lizpeak, how you doing.
• 21:52
  Speaker 14: I'm terrific. Thanks for having me on, Mark.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Hey, I love your column about affordability. Now in New York,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: for instance, for twenty years, Democrats have controlled everything in
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: New York state legislature, city council, mayor governor, everything controlled
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: by Democrats. If there's an affordability crisis, wasn't it their fault?
• 22:12
  Speaker 12: Yes?
• 22:13
  Speaker 10: Yes, I mean you know, sometimes I write a colm
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: and I think, surely everybody knows this, this is so obvious,
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: But then you put something out there with actually facts
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: to support a premise, the premise being that Democrats are
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: absolutely the last people that should be talking about affordability
• 22:34
  Speaker 10: because all the most expensive places to live in America
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: are run by Democrats. It's not like they just have
• 22:41
  Speaker 10: a Democrat mayor or a Democrat governor. Generally speaking, the
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: most expensive cities and states have been under Democrats and
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: toll for decades. And why then are prices so high?
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: Why is the cost of living so exorbited? Why are
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: rents We got a new report today in New York
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: out of control. Well it isn't Republican fault, folks, It's
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: because Democrats embrace number one excessive spending on all kinds
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: of benefits and so forth. That mean they have to
• 23:13
  Speaker 10: raise taxes repeatedly. Where does that tax money come from?
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: When it comes from you and me, But believe me,
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: it also comes from businesses operating in New York who
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: then passed along to consumers, so that jacks up prices.
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: Environmentalists also have a huge say in the governments of
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: New York City, New York State, California, Illinois, Maryland, whatever,
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: and environmentalists stand in the way of permitting. It takes
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: two to three times as long to get approval for
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: a building project in New York as it does almost
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: any place in the world. So time is money in
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: construction free month that goes by the cost of raw
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: materials goes up. The cost of brick and cement and
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: whatever else you know, glass and windows, everything goes up.
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: In I was involved with a university in New York.
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: We wanted to build a building. By the time we
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: got all the approvals him ten years on, the price
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: had almost tripled.
• 24:10
  Speaker 14: I mean, so it is so frustrated.
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: And then the other thing, of course, there are two
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: other legs of this really solid Democrat run stool. One
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: is energy policies that jack up electricity and gasoline prices,
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: which you know in New York you're paying an enormous
• 24:29
  Speaker 10: premium over the rest of the country on that. And
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: then are pro union rules meaning you can't, as the
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: city or the state many states, you can't do business
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: with outfits that are using non union labor. So already
• 24:44
  Speaker 10: you're talking about a thirty to fifty percent premium over
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: what you have to what you might be able to
• 24:50
  Speaker 10: save in constructing highways and schools and everything.
• 24:53
  Speaker 14: You know, Mark, it's so obvious to me.
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: Why is it that young voters they don't know anything.
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: But I mean a lot of a lot of Americans,
• 25:04
  Speaker 10: a lot of people in this town, and stay blindly
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: go and vote Democrat over and over again, hoping it'll
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: turn out differently.
• 25:12
  Speaker 14: But guess what it never does.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But a big factor is the media went totally
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: corrupt about ten years ago and never ever ever reports
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: this that when they interview a Democrat, they never ask
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: him about that. Yeah, So how do you fix that?
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: I don't know, and we just there are just repeated
• 25:31
  Speaker 10: examples of where the media is putting their thumb on
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: the scale. You know what, I think there has been
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: too little talk about what went on in Maine. I mean,
• 25:41
  Speaker 10: there's been plenty of talk about Graham platter and all
• 25:44
  Speaker 10: the bad things he did.
• 25:46
  Speaker 14: Bad guy and a bad character.
• 25:48
  Speaker 11: But the New York.
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: Times it's one of the main villains of that story because,
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: as you well know, they did a catch and kill
• 25:55
  Speaker 10: effort to kind of put out there that there might
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: be sexual assault up revelations, but that it couldn't be corroborated.
• 26:04
  Speaker 10: And by the way, they completely squashed the story being
• 26:08
  Speaker 10: told by the Democrat woman who came forward and finally
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: killed off Graham Plattner's political hopes in this cycle. I
• 26:16
  Speaker 10: say this cycle because it's completely clear to me that
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: he might run again, that people are just going to say, well,
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: that was just an unfortunate incident. But the New York
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: Times absolutely craft at a story. They could kind of
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: get that story out there of sexual assault, but do
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: it in such a way that most voters would say, well,
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: you know it was the reports were from a Republican
• 26:41
  Speaker 10: who didn't like his politics.
• 26:43
  Speaker 14: So it's a little bit like the woman who.
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: Accused Joe Biden of assaulting her, remember, and she was
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: completely dismissed because presumably she might have had a political angle,
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: although she was a pidon aid, so it tells you she.
• 26:58
  Speaker 14: Wasn't politically motivated.
• 27:00
  Speaker 10: The media has a great deal to account for, to
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: be accountable for, and guess what it never will be.
• 27:06
  Speaker 13: But there you are.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it went totally corrupt in an effort to
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: stop Trump in twenty sixteen, and then yeah, you know,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: they had to continue throughout his term. And then I
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: guess they decided, you know what, we like this model
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: better and we'll stick with it and it'll never change.
• 27:21
  Speaker 10: Well, it saved them, Mark the New York Times, I
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: think honestly would have been extinct if they had not
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: basically made their entire Remember they even the publisher even
• 27:33
  Speaker 10: put out a note about how basically anything was valid
• 27:37
  Speaker 10: in the effort to stop Trump.
• 27:39
  Speaker 14: That's kind of their mantra. Pretty horrifying.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, you wrote a column I think it was
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: a week ago, but mom Donnie's preening arrogance will ultimately
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: prove his downfall. What did you mean by to explain that?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: That's interesting?
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: Well, I keep a running log of offensive things mom
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: Donnie has done, and it does and you know, all
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: I did really was kind of go back to that
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: and say, Okay, he offended the Puerto Ricans by not
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: doing the traditional Puerto Rican Day event at Gracie Mansion.
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: He offended Catholics, of which there are more than a
• 28:14
  Speaker 10: million in New York City by not attending, as every
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: mayor has done, the investiture of the new archbishop. They
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: have offended, of course, Jews by daily on day one,
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: literally day one, removing the definition of anti Semitism that
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: Eric Adams had.
• 28:30
  Speaker 14: Put in place.
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: And then you know fourteen other things that they've done
• 28:34
  Speaker 10: to offend Jews. But if you kind of go through,
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: the most recent thing that sort of tipped me to
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: write that was this map. And I have to say
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: I buried the map story. I was and bury it.
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: But it was like at the lead and then I caught,
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: you know, two days later. Everyone thinks it's this big
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: new breaking news. No, it happened in May that they
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: brought out this map of historic neighborhoods, ethnic neighborhoods of importance.
• 28:58
  Speaker 14: No Little Italy. I mean to you, I don't know about.
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: You, but when I first came to New York, Little
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: Italy was a big deal and you went down there
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: kind of yeah, because it was sort of racy and
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: the food was great, and there's been this there was
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: this rubout at Abardo's Clamhouse and you know, I mean
• 29:15
  Speaker 10: it was all kind of I don't know, it was
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: like stuff from TV Land and we all thought that
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: was really cool and to not include that, and of
• 29:23
  Speaker 10: course they didn't include Jewish neighborhoods, Irish neighborhoods. It's just
• 29:27
  Speaker 10: like this, you know, this drip drip drip of offensive
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: things that Mamdanie's done, which seems to me a pretty
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: weird track for a politician to follow.
• 29:39
  Speaker 14: Mostly politicians try to broaden his base.
• 29:42
  Speaker 10: He's done everything he can to narrow it, and that
• 29:44
  Speaker 10: speaks to me not of some intensely weird political calculus
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: that speaks to me of arrogance, and I think he
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: is an incredibly arrogant guy.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but when you say it'll bring his downfall,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: how's that going to happen with the media totally them up?
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: Well, because I think eventually, you know, we had dinner
• 30:04
  Speaker 10: with some friends last night who were Jewish, and I
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: think they didn't I don't know who they voted for
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: in the last election, but by gosh, they are so
• 30:13
  Speaker 10: critical of the thirty percent of Jews who voted for him.
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: I think Jews, you know, that group is sort of
• 30:18
  Speaker 10: going away from him. I think if there's a decent
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: alternative to mom Donnie next time around, a Democrat that
• 30:27
  Speaker 10: is not a lunatic and who actually appeals to Catholics
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: and to Italians and Jews and.
• 30:33
  Speaker 14: So forth, I think that's how that's how it happens.
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: I mean, yes, he's a great TikTok mayor, but meanwhile,
• 30:40
  Speaker 10: you know, we have rents at the highest ever and
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: he was supposed to be the guy that was going
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: to change that. You know, we'll see, right. I just
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: think I just think eventually, you lose too many people
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: that you have offended.
• 30:54
  Speaker 14: I sure, hope.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Well, Democrats are losing territory, they lost the
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: working people, that lost the Jewish vote. Gradually, they're losing
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: every little bit of that base. So well, I hope
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: you're right. I hope it continue to help. All right, Well,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Liz Peak, everybody read her columns at go to Foxnews
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: dot com, The Hill dot com, lizpeak dot com, and
• 31:18

• 31:30
  Speaker 1: the real feel makes it feel like one hundred. I
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: still don't understand that. If it feels like one hundred,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: why isn't it one hundred? I don't know, but let
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: me just check you. Actually, ninety two will be the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: high today, ninety eight tomorrow. Tomorrow's the big heatwave day.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: It'll drop back to ninety two on Thursday, then down
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: into the eighties on the weekend. But it looks like
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: rain Saturday and Sunday. Forecast could change, but that's the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: way it is right now, So be careful if you're
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: out today or too long, it is going to be
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: a hot day. Real Feel again will be yeah, Real
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Feel well, actually not so bad, it says Real Feel

  Speaker 1: show every night nine to midnight on seven to ten.
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: Wo the Mark Simon Show on seven tenor well, hey,
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: that home run Derby.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: That's a big thing. A lot of people love to
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: watch that. It's always on the night before the All
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Star Game, big network TV thing. Well, last night it
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: was on Netflix. It was not on network TV. It
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: was on Netflix. And apparently the numbers don't look so great.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: It didn't attract the usual numbers being on Netflix. And
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: you know, this is a live broadcast. Netflix is been
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: trying with football and baseball to do these live broadcasts,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: but they have problems even last night, the audio, the
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: video crashing at different points during the broadcast. Now, you know, Networks,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: all they got left is live TV. They're live. They
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: can do news, they can do football, They can do sports,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: but when it comes to dramas and comedies and sitcoms
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: and movies, nobody can do it better than the streaming
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: companies Netflix, all of them, HBO. They can outspend the
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: networks like crazy on every show. They get the best writers, directors, everything.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: But once they figure out live. They haven't quite figured
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: it out yet, but once they figure out how to
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: make live work, that's the end of network TV. They'll
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: be gone. They'll have nothing left without sports, without anything else,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: they'll be gone. But you can end up back to
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: the same situation. It'll be live on Netflix and on
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: a few streaming services, and then basically it'll be back
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: to what it was before. You know, there's something kind
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: of nice about TV. It's always on. You know, it
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: doesn't go out very much, unlike Netflix. Nobody has a
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: better delivery system than radio. You just turn on the radio.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Wherever you are, there's the signal, even where there's no
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: cell service, no WiFi. Hey, we'll be back after the news.
• 34:17

• 34:19
