  Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan. Here comes the Mark Simone Show
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on seven two.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's Wednesday. It's Opening Day, Yankees Opening Day
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: to day. Unfortunately, you can't see the game unless you
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: have Netflix, but most people have Netflix. It's the first
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: time opening days. Tonight they're playing in San Francisco, first
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: time the Yankee home day, Opening Day, which is a
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: big day, a lot of ceremonies, a lot of stuff,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: first time. It won't be on regular television. You gotta
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: have Netflix to see it. Mets Opening Day is tomorrow,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: So baseball season underway as of tonight. A lot to
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: get to today. We'll get to the latest on Iran
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: negotiations are taking place, that has been confirmed by both sides.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Now they've been taking place. We'll get to the latest
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: on Iran. We'll get to Savannah Guthrie, We'll get to LaGuardia,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: and we'll get to crazy Mayor Mom Donnie, who now
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: wants to put tariffs on businesses here in New York.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: The TSA, now it's interesting. The TSA still a big,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: big shortage. Ice agents are doing a great job in
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the airport. Despite what Chuck Schumer said, they're not shooting
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: people despite what Blumenthal and all the other Democrats that
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: there would be in the airport brutalizing people shooting, no
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: gun find in the airport from ICE agents. And the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: problem is they've now made the negotiations are taking place
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: between the Republicans and the Democrats. They've actually made a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: lot of progress in the negotiations, Republicans submitting to the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Democrats a deal that would be exactly what they wanted,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and Democrats turning it down. Now. The reason they're turning
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: it down is they believe, through their own polling, through
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: their own surveys, that the voters are blaming the Republicans
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: right now, there's no reason to do that. The Republicans
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: aren't really behind this, but that's what they believe is
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the perception. So as long as they think the Republicans
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: are getting blamed, they'll keep this shutdown going. And this
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: tsa problem going. As long as it looks like it's
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: helping them, doesn't matter what's really true. So that's why
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the delay they've offered the Republicans are offered every now.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: The problem is the Republicans have to do more messaging wise. Now,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you got to remember, the Democrats will blame the Republicans
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and the fake news the media will join in and
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: blame the Republicans. So for people not paying such close attention,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: there's the perception that the Republicans that close down the government,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: which when it's actually not true. So Republicans have to
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: do more. They got to go to the airports. They
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: got to hold press conferences there. They got to be
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: right there for great visuals, great optics, and explain what's
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: really going on. They're reporters all over. Let's see the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Atlanta Airport.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: And there seems to be war lines open than normal
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: right now with the TSA workers here breezing people through.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: In fact, a lot of folks have been showing up
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: shot at how short the lines are.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the ICE agents have pretty much solved the problem
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: in a lot of airports. But again Republicans have to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: go there, bring the cameras there, and let everybody see this.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Let's check the Philadelphia Airport.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: ICE agents have arrived here in Philadelphia, but I do
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: want to point out this is an empty line right now.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: We are standing in the middle where travelers come to
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: check in for TSA. Yesterday this was all the way
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: back to the garage. So good news today lines aren't
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: too bad.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: TSA helping out Phoenix Airport.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Most of the travelers we spoke would say, well, it's disappointing.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: The current shutdown is having a negative impact on TSA staff.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: They're pleased to see ICE agents stepping it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: They're protecting us. Yeah, but again, you need more coverage
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: of this. Republican's got to play this up. They got
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: to force the media to cover this a little more. Now,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: what is it with Democrats and the ICE agents? They
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: hate these ICE agents. They've been a couple of ugly incidents,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: but it's a billionth of one percent. Why do they
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: hate these ICE agents so much. Well, because they're rounding
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: up illegals and getting them out of the country, especially
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the criminal illegal aliens. Democrats want the illegals here. It's
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: very important to them. Now Chris Murphy, he's this crazy,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: awful Connecticut senator, but the Democrats love him because he
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: says the most outlandish far left things in the world.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: In fact, there are a lot of Democrats are now
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: looking to dump Schumer as the leader. Get rid of
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Schumer in the Senate and put in Chris Murphy. Big push. Now,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: get Schumer out and put in Chris Murphy. But listen
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to this Chris Murphy speaking yesterday, and he's always on
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: every wherever there's a camera there, he is. He's as
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: bad as Schumer, just always running around doing TV shows, appearances.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: But he slipped, he slipped. He actually spoke the truth
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: out loud. They're really just for illegals, more for illegals
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: than for Americans. Listen to Murphy make this slip.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: That's been a failed play for twenty years. So you
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: are right that that has been the Democratic strategy for
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: thirty years maybe, and it has failed to deliver for
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: are in this country.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: The people we care about most, the undocumented. He actually
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: said it out loud. So it'll continue, but we'll see,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: negotiations will continue. The lines are much better ICE agents
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and again they're not shooting anybody all over the place.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Remember the crazy Bloomenthal in Connecticut said they would be
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: shooting people and brutalizing people and grabbing kids away from
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: their families. He actually said that. Hakim Jeffrey said that
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff. And even Corey Booker jumped in yesterday
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: trying to say that these ICE agents they're violent, they're terrible.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: He's taking that agency that is recklessly out of control
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: and bringing them tots under the lie that somehow.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: This is gonna help deal with the long lines that
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: he created in the first place. This is an outrage Well,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the outrageous booker waited a couple of days too long,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: because we've already done it for a couple of days,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: and we've seen that they did make the lines longer.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: They actually made the lions shorter. Tom Homan responded.
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: He's misleading American people. He's lying. I want him to
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: give me one example, just one when ices went into
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: a church to wrest somebody, or we went into a
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: hospital to wrest somebody, or we went into an elementary
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: school to wrest somebody. Just give me one example. You
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: know why he can't. There isn't anything.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they just make up this stuff. They get
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: on MSNBC, they go on Morning Joe and they say
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: they're arresting people in churches, they're arresting people in hospitals.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: A lot of people talking about Morning Joe yesterday the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: argument was against the Save Act and Morning Joe pointing
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to Mika and saying Mika does not know where her
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: birth certificate is. She can't find it, so she can't
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: vote in this country. Under this act, she cannot vote.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: And a lot of people falling for this. This is
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: totally misleading every American. If you don't have your birth certificate,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: you can get it replaced in two seconds. There's dozens
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: of websites you can go to. The government has one,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and there's plenty of private ones. You can go to
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: these websites. Just google it. Just google replacement birth certificate
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and hundreds of websites will come up. You can go
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to any of these websites. All you can do is
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: type in your information. They will find your birth certificate
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: and for a little fee, they'll send you a new
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: birth certificate. You can have it in about four days.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Anybody can get a replacement birth certificate. It's it's very
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: easy to use. So they're totally totally misleading America. And
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: always count on Chuck Schumer. He's the one that says this.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Women are too stupid, they don't know how to get ID.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Minority voters too stupid, they don't know how to get
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: an ID.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: Let's make it very clear, Donald Trump is the one
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: standing in the way of paychecks. For TSA workers with
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: a ridiculous attempt to pass the Save Act. Yeah, the
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: Save Act, which would destroy a lot of what we
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: know about democracy.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: It Save Act just means you've got to be a
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: citizen to vote destroy democracy. Anyway, let's get to Iran.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: There are negotiations tacond place. As we've been telling you,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Iran did put out a statement Monday, we have not
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: had any talks with the US. Well, technically that's true,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: but they were kind of lying to you. We have
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: been in negotiations for quite a few days with Iran.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: They were using a third party intermediary to negotiate. We
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: go through the third party. They go through the third party.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: It's another nation. That's why Iran was technically able to
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: say we've had no talks with the US. They've been
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: working through a third party. Negotiations are They're going as expected.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: The Iran is asked for all kinds of things that
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: we're never going to give them. They want control of everything.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: There's President Trump on negotiation.
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: They're talking to us and they're talking sense. And remember
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: it all starts that they cannot have a nuclear weapon.
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: Just you know, I said yesterday they said, what are
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: the top ten. I said, well, number one, two and
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: three is they can't have a nuclear weapon.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, now here's what it'll probably come down to. Iran
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: has given us like fourteen demands, twelve of which are ridiculous.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I think what it's going to come down to, they'll
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: end us at some point. The Straits of Hormuz. Now
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: it's not open technically, but there are ships coming through
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: the Straits of Hormoose right now and have been this week.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: About ninety ships have come through, and they're ships that
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: are delivering Iranian oil and they're letting those ships through. Now,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the way they do it is they give them a code.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: This is what they do also in a war in
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the air, you know, when we're bombing the hell out
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: of Iraq and Israel's going to help us, other countries
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: are going to help us. Each plane has to transmit
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: a code. If it has the right code, we don't
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: attack them. They're allowed into the combat zone. So they're
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: using that technology on the Straits of horm Moose. If
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the tanker has the right code, it can go through
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the straits without being attacked. It transmits that code. Now,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: what Iran is going to propose and so far, they've
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: let ninety ships come through because those ships are delivering
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: their oil. What they're going to propose is the use
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: that code system on tankers for anybody wants to get
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: through the Straits of horm Moose. If it's not one
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: of their tankers, they're going to want a fee, a
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: big fee. They're going to charge money to come through
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the Straits of horm Moose. This is what the negotiation
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: will probably come down to, and from now on it'll
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: be a revenue generator. We'll have to pay to come
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: through the Straits of horm Moose. Now this is not unusual.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Egypt has been doing this for years with the Siuez Canal.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: You got to pay a fee to go through the
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Siuez Canal, bring your tanker through there. Now, it's not outrageous.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: We do it all the time. You got to pay
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: a feed across every bridge, to go through every tunnel,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: you got to pay a fee. It's easy pass congestion pricing,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. So that's probably going to be the
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: final thing that'll settle this Iran making a fee off that,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna need money. They're gonna need to rebuild
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: the country, so it'll probably work. It'll come down to that. Hey,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: LaGuardia Airport. Well, it looks like I mean, the controller
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: looks like he just went brain dead allowing the truck
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: to come onto the runway when he had already cleared
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: a plane to land. But I guess they're trying to
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: help the controller a little. I mean, it's just they're
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: saying it was a number of errors. So it was
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: that error, but it was also a number of errors.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: There weren't enough controllers on the fire truck didn't have
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: a transponder. There's radar that keeps track of all the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: planes in the air, but they also have ground radar
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: keeps track of every vehicle on the ground and matches
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: it up the planes. And to do that, each vehicle
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: has to have a transponder transmitting a signal. That's how
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: the radar picks it up. And that fire truck didn't
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: have a transponder on it. But most fire trucks usually
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: don't have a working transponder. But here's the spokesman.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: We have no indication there were transponders on any of
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the trucks, but there are transponders on other trucks at
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: other airports. Across the nation. In this case, they did
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: not have transponders.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're coming of all these explanations, but really
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: that controller he already cleared a plane to land. Once
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: you clear a plane to land, the plane owns the runway.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Nothing else comes on. So it was a big mistake. Now,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: how many controllers were on? Were there enough?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: We have identified the midshift generally as concern in other investigations,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: largely due to fatigue because it spans that time frame
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: at your circadian low during the day when you're most fatigued.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know, there's a little too much explanation the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: circadian level, the fatigue when you're landing. I don't think
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: you want to know that the controller might be falling asleep.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Circadian level has to do with falling asleep fatigue. Do
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: you want a guy that's actually awake and watching the runway?
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: So hey, I did check on those some argument yesterday.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Whose fire trucks are they? They're not NYFD. I met
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: with the commissioner, the fire commissioner and all the top brass.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: They do not control those fire trucks. They do come
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: in if it's a big fire. Those are Port Authority
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: fire trucks at the airport run by port authority. Are
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: they as good as NYFD? Nobody would answer on the record,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: but I saw the looks in their faces, So you
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: don't don't count so much on those Port authority fire trucks,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: not like the New York Fire Department, but when they're
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: in trouble and it's a big fire, they call in
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: the NAFD. But those were port authority fire trucks. And
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: again they didn't have transponders. There's a lot wrong with
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the way things were run at LaGuardia Airport. Hey, Savannah
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Guthrie finally did the first interview when she's going to
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: finally go on camera and talk at length. Well, Hoda
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Cottby the Today Show did the first interview and she
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: broke down. She cried, it's unbearable, it's agonizing, She went
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: through the whole story. It's just agony, unbearable. So just
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: heart wrenching. But always count on NBC to totally exploit
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: the situation. They've broken it up into two parts. It's
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: going to be on both days Thursday, Friday. They're already
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: promoting it. They want you to watch. They'll take advantage
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: of that pain and suffering trying to get people to
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: watch the Today Show. She is going to return to
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: the Today Show. They're looking at April tenth for the
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: return date. Hey, we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven ten is the number,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: So give me a call, especially if you haven't called before.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. We just
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: give the number again. Some people say, well, you don't
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: give the number enough. Eight hundred three two one zero
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: seven ten
