Hour 1: President Trump's safety. · The Mark Simone Show

0:01
Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York. It's the Mark
0:04
Speaker 1: Simone Show on sevent tenor.
0:12
Speaker 2: Hey Friday. Finally, that's good news. It's not a bad
0:15
Speaker 2: day to day. Now. If you're a Democrat, you're not
0:17
Speaker 2: going to like this. The stock market is on fire
0:21
Speaker 2: and it's going to hit fifty thousand again today. Nobody
0:24
Speaker 2: ever thought they'd live to see a Dow at fifty thousand,
0:28
Speaker 2: but it's probably going to hit that. It could hit
0:30
Speaker 2: it later today. So be nice to your Democratic friends
0:33
Speaker 2: are going to be in a very bad mood. They
0:35
Speaker 2: don't like to see that. They'd like to see a crash.
0:37
Speaker 2: Right now. We'll get to President Trump. We'll get to
0:40
Speaker 2: the White House correspondence there, we'll get to Mom Donnie,
0:44
Speaker 2: we'll get to Crazy Mayor Mom Donnie's latest, and we'll
0:49
Speaker 2: get to Pete Hegsith and more So. The Democrats had
0:52
Speaker 2: these big hearings yesterday. If you never I always try
0:56
Speaker 2: to explain to you, Republicans stink at hearings. They don't
0:59
Speaker 2: know how to do it. You know, they're asking questions
1:03
Speaker 2: and if the guy doesn't answer, they slowly ask it again,
1:07
Speaker 2: and it's like a conversation that nothing goes viral from that,
1:11
Speaker 2: Democrats do a hearing. It's yelling and screaming. They call
1:14
Speaker 2: the guy's names. If he even even tries to answer,
1:17
Speaker 2: they shout him down. That goes viral. So we'll play
1:23
Speaker 2: some clips of the left trying to destroy hegxith. So
1:27
Speaker 2: the White House Correspondents dinner. Apparently here's the problem. You know,
1:32
Speaker 2: for years the president wouldn't go to that dinner. I
1:35
Speaker 2: had no interest in that dinner. All of a sudden
1:37
Speaker 2: he goes. But you know, he's a great roaster. We've
1:41
Speaker 2: never had a president who was a very experienced roaster. Now,
1:47
Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan had a good sense of humor, and he
1:51
Speaker 2: had done five or six Dean Martin ROAs, but those
1:55
Speaker 2: were television roasts. They were kind of watered down for television.
2:00
Speaker 2: Trump himself has done maybe a hundred, maybe more, maybe
2:05
Speaker 2: a couple hundred roasts, and the biggest toughest roasts in
2:08
Speaker 2: the world the Old Friars Club roast, not the one
2:11
Speaker 2: on television, the ones right over there in the Hilton Ballroom.
2:14
Speaker 2: I mean they were that was like the Major League,
2:17
Speaker 2: the New York Yankees in the World Series of roasts,
2:19
Speaker 2: and he did dozens and dozens and dozens, So he's
2:23
Speaker 2: a real serious roaster. And he also apparently was going
2:27
Speaker 2: to take this one real seriously. This is going to
2:29
Speaker 2: be the greatest roast of these journalists, of these fake
2:33
Speaker 2: news figures. He was going to just level them with
2:36
Speaker 2: this stuff. So he had a unbelievable speech ready to go.
2:40
Speaker 2: That's why when all the chaos happened, he fought so
2:43
Speaker 2: hard to go back and do this because he had
2:45
Speaker 2: spent months coming up with the greatest speech ever. Now
2:48
Speaker 2: it couldn't go back because the secrets apparently they were
2:52
Speaker 2: really arguing and the Secret Service that we have to
2:54
Speaker 2: completely sweep the room, the hotel, the whole first and
2:57
Speaker 2: second foot. We could, and he said, we'll do it.
3:00
Speaker 2: It's going to take four or five hours. He realized
3:03
Speaker 2: it would be three in the morning when he got back,
3:04
Speaker 2: no point. So that was the end of that. And
3:06
Speaker 2: then he kept saying in the press commerce we'll do
3:08
Speaker 2: this in a month, We'll try to do it within
3:10
Speaker 2: thirty days. I don't know, you know, it's the impact
3:16
Speaker 2: would have been great with these roasting jokes, but after
3:19
Speaker 2: what happened, it's a little delicate, so I don't know
3:21
Speaker 2: if it'll ever really work, But it'll save the jokes,
3:23
Speaker 2: so you'll use them somewhere else. Now, after what happened,
3:26
Speaker 2: people have suggested he should wear a bulletproof vest because
3:32
Speaker 2: in Butler, the shooter hit him in the ear on
3:36
Speaker 2: the golf course at mar A Lago. The shooter was
3:39
Speaker 2: not able to shoot, but had the Secret Service guy
3:41
Speaker 2: and that spotted him, he would have had a shot
3:43
Speaker 2: at President Trump. And had this lunatic got into the ballroom,
3:48
Speaker 2: he would have had a shot at President Trump. So
3:50
Speaker 2: should he wear a bulletproof vest? Maybe there were times
3:54
Speaker 2: where George Bush wore a bulletproof vest. I think of
3:59
Speaker 2: a couple of occasions were Reagan War one. But the
4:01
Speaker 2: problem with Trump it loves to look good in that suit.
4:04
Speaker 2: He's a little overweight. You know, we all are, but
4:06
Speaker 2: he's a little overweight, and if you put on that vest,
4:10
Speaker 2: you look really fat. That's what happened with Bush a
4:13
Speaker 2: couple of times when he wore one. Everybody thought, what
4:15
Speaker 2: happened to him? I'd gained so much weight. It was
4:17
Speaker 2: the vest, and Trump was asked about it.
4:19
Speaker 3: If there talks about you potentially wearing a bulletproof vest.
4:22
Speaker 1: Moving forward, given you have now been shot at. I
4:25
Speaker 1: don't know if I can handle looking twenty pounds here.
4:32
Speaker 2: Somebody these got physical, somebody, these guys.
4:39
Speaker 1: I don't want to be near him.
4:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta be Obama could wear a bulletproof vest,
4:44
Speaker 2: nice and thin, wouldn't have wouldn't have affected him so much.
4:48
Speaker 2: So I don't think you'll ever see that bulletproof fest. Now,
4:51
Speaker 2: what they could do if he's going to appear at
4:53
Speaker 2: something like that correspondence dinner, you could put that plexa
4:57
Speaker 2: glass up there. Remember in the outdoor rallies, there was
4:59
Speaker 2: a time where they put up that bulletproof glass in
5:02
Speaker 2: front of him and he kind of spoke from behind it.
5:05
Speaker 2: It's not great. It makes you look like like you're
5:08
Speaker 2: a bank teller behind that glass. It's not a good effect.
5:12
Speaker 2: So the king is gone, Thank god, he's left. Now,
5:17
Speaker 2: you people with your no Kings rallies and you know
5:19
Speaker 2: kings sons, you know you can never do it again.
5:23
Speaker 2: I'm afraid you can't do it ever again because it'll
5:27
Speaker 2: look ridiculous. You're out in the street all over America,
5:29
Speaker 2: every city, no kings, thousands now hundreds of millions of you,
5:33
Speaker 2: and now there was a real king here all over
5:36
Speaker 2: the place, and you're not one protester showed up. So
5:39
Speaker 2: here's our actual king, and you didn't protest, so you
5:42
Speaker 2: obviously have lost all credibility. Obviously you have nothing against kings.
5:46
Speaker 2: It's just trumped arrangement syndrome. So now Hexath Pete Hexath
5:51
Speaker 2: testifying before Congress, and the war in Iran could not
5:56
Speaker 2: go any better. I mean, it'd be great if they
5:58
Speaker 2: just surrendered and gave us everything, but that's nobody expected
6:01
Speaker 2: that that fast. But the militarily absolute crushed them in
6:06
Speaker 2: one second, wiped out their military completely. As long as
6:10
Speaker 2: we keep the straits straight off hor Mooose blocked, we've
6:12
Speaker 2: got them totally shut down their economy. They have absolutely
6:15
Speaker 2: no revenue coming in. So it's a great success so far.
6:20
Speaker 2: And it's only two months. I know the president is
6:24
Speaker 2: under the law, you're supposed to get congressional authority after
6:27
Speaker 2: I think it's ninety days now. The President is arguing
6:31
Speaker 2: that the moment the cease fire started, the clock stops
6:34
Speaker 2: on that ninety days. So if they resume after four
6:37
Speaker 2: weeks of ceasefire, he's saying the clock has stopped. I
6:41
Speaker 2: think he's right. He's got a I mean, based on
6:43
Speaker 2: simple logic, he's right. So Hexath is testifying. They're trying
6:47
Speaker 2: to get them every which way. They're accusing him of everything.
6:50
Speaker 2: Now again, Republicans, it's like a courtroom. You know, they're
6:55
Speaker 2: very proper, and they ask the questions. Democrats, they call
6:58
Speaker 2: you names, They accuse you of being a crook, thief
7:00
Speaker 2: of everything in the world. Listen to Elizabeth Warren trying
7:04
Speaker 2: to make the case that Hexith is a committed financial crime.
7:07
Speaker 4: I'd like to hear you say, did you, through your
7:10
Speaker 4: broker at Morgan Stanley or otherwise seek to invest in
7:14
Speaker 4: any defense related funds right before Trump started the Iran War.
7:19
Speaker 5: I'll give it to you as a big fat negative.
7:23
Speaker 4: Then let me ask you a second question. Is your
7:26
Speaker 4: broker getting your personal sign off on any investment in
7:31
Speaker 4: individual Stogger fatter negative?
7:34
Speaker 2: See? Now, none of this is true, but this is
7:37
Speaker 2: the way the democratic world works. This is the way
7:40
Speaker 2: the fake news works. Elizabeth Warren, Banking Committee asked about
7:44
Speaker 2: these shady financial transactions. Now they never happened, but it
7:49
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. He was asked about it under oath, he
7:51
Speaker 2: denied it, and it's enough for the fake news. You'll
7:54
Speaker 2: see this all over the fake news. Hexath, confronted about
7:57
Speaker 2: his suspicious financial and investments, denied it. They'll never mentioned
8:03
Speaker 2: there was no reason even suspected. They're no truth to
8:05
Speaker 2: it at all. So all the sleeves ball Bloomenthals try to,
8:09
Speaker 2: you know, argue the war is a total disaster. We've
8:11
Speaker 2: never had such a disaster. We completely wiped out their
8:16
Speaker 2: military like the first day. But it's a total disaster.
8:18
Speaker 2: Hexatha wasn't putting up with any of.
8:20
Speaker 5: This stop based on the.
8:23
Speaker 3: Because you yelled doesn't make you la about economy.
8:27
Speaker 5: You know what is upset? Incredible?
8:29
Speaker 3: Well, I would say the blockade that we hold that
8:32
Speaker 3: doesn't allow anything to come in or out of Iranian ports.
8:35
Speaker 5: Okay, so always so.
8:36
Speaker 6: We've blockaded, they blockaded us, and then we blockaded their blockade.
8:41
Speaker 5: You care a lot about President Trump, don't you.
8:43
Speaker 3: You're going to waste of your five minutes huge.
8:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's enough two uh for the fake news,
8:51
Speaker 2: because then the Democrats are watching this straight or horn
8:54
Speaker 2: moves is shut down and now they go, oh my god,
8:57
Speaker 2: it's shut down. They never explained to the audience it
9:01
Speaker 2: doesn't affect us in any way. We never get any
9:03
Speaker 2: oil from the straight or hormuse. We don't need it
9:05
Speaker 2: for anything. A shutdown only means that Iran has no income.
9:09
Speaker 2: They're the ones that use it. If they can't move
9:11
Speaker 2: oil through there, they have zero income. Their economy is crushed.
9:15
Speaker 2: They never explained that on the freak news, so they
9:18
Speaker 2: just keep going after him and after him, even quiet
9:21
Speaker 2: little Christian Gilibrand there's.
9:23
Speaker 7: No evidence that we are safer because of this war.
9:26
Speaker 7: We did not have any evidence that Iran intended to
9:29
Speaker 7: imminently attack this country in any way, shape or form.
9:32
Speaker 7: So I disagree with your assessment that we are under threat.
9:36
Speaker 5: Do you believe them when they say death to America?
9:39
Speaker 7: Listen, our adversaries use rhetoric all the time.
9:44
Speaker 2: Now, Democrats were saying the same thing about Olama bin Laden.
9:47
Speaker 2: There's no threat. There's no evidence of any actual threat.
9:51
Speaker 2: And again back to Elizabeth Warren.
9:53
Speaker 3: What I give, what you give, what others give. I'm
9:56
Speaker 3: not looking for money. I don't do it for money.
9:57
Speaker 3: I don't do it for profit. I don't do it
9:58
Speaker 3: for stocks. And that's or of the reason why I'm
10:00
Speaker 3: able to be effective in this job. Because no one
10:02
Speaker 3: owns me, No one owns this department. No one owns
10:05
Speaker 3: this president, and we can execute for the American people,
10:08
Speaker 3: and we do.
10:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to give her credit to what is
10:11
Speaker 2: she ninetyes? She looks like Granny on the Beverly Hillbillies,
10:14
Speaker 2: and she's yelling and screaming at this guy. They went
10:16
Speaker 2: after him for everything.
10:17
Speaker 5: I don't know what you're insinuating.
10:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, that he's not a Christian. I don't know something.
10:20
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're insinuating, Senator, But I am
10:23
Speaker 3: not ashamed of my faith.
10:24
Speaker 5: In Jesus Christ.
10:25
Speaker 8: Well, im, you shouldn't be.
10:26
Speaker 5: And if you want to shame me for it, go ahead.
10:28
Speaker 9: I'm not shaming you. But are you critical of other faith?
10:33
Speaker 3: I am a believer, I'm quite open in that, and
10:35
Speaker 3: our department allows for a multitude of faith.
10:37
Speaker 5: So I don't know what you're suggesting.
10:39
Speaker 3: I've heard the likes of things that people like you
10:41
Speaker 3: suggest to try to smear.
10:43
Speaker 5: Up my character, and I won't give into it.
10:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's a good point. What is the
10:48
Speaker 2: point of these questions? The guy's the Defense secretary in
10:52
Speaker 2: the middle of a war. He's supposed to be asking
10:54
Speaker 2: war questions, actual detailed questions about what's going on. Instead,
10:57
Speaker 2: they're talking about his faith, they're talking about his Zac account,
11:00
Speaker 2: They're trying to get him for anything and everything. Completely ridiculous.
11:06
Speaker 2: So hey, crazy little mom Donnie, uh, you know he
11:10
Speaker 2: started this. I actually will give you Andrew Cuomo credit.
11:13
Speaker 2: He was the first one to really pushed that Pieta
11:16
Speaker 2: tear tax. Remember Cuomo was the most left wing, woke,
11:20
Speaker 2: crazy left wing policies, no bail, no jail, close our
11:24
Speaker 2: power plants, closed the prisons, let people out. And he
11:28
Speaker 2: was pushing that Pieta tear at tax. It was actually
11:32
Speaker 2: it never happened back then, but now they're trying to
11:33
Speaker 2: make it happen. And Mom, Donnie targeted a billionaire, Ken Griffin.
11:38
Speaker 2: He actually targeted this guy. He even made a video
11:41
Speaker 2: in front of his house pointing to it and this
11:43
Speaker 2: is where Ken Griffin lives. I mean, it's a terrible
11:45
Speaker 2: thing to do when you know you got these nut
11:48
Speaker 2: job protesters out there, Mom, Donnie, just awful to Ken Griffin.
11:52
Speaker 3: Like for this penhouse, the Touch one CEO Ken Griffin
11:56
Speaker 3: bought for two hundred and thirty eight million dollars.
11:58
Speaker 1: This Pierre tear a tax specifically designed for the richest.
12:01
Speaker 9: Of the rich.
12:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, well good, what's wrong with that? I mean, if
12:07
Speaker 2: somebody said they've just opened a major new slum on
12:11
Speaker 2: fifty ninth Street, would we be happy? Was it great?
12:15
Speaker 10: So?
12:16
Speaker 2: Somebody a few years ago, was it Zecondorf? Somebody built
12:19
Speaker 2: I think was Zeckendorf built two twenty Central Park South.
12:23
Speaker 2: They started this project about fifteen years ago. It was
12:26
Speaker 2: to be the finest apartment building ever in New York
12:31
Speaker 2: and it took a long time. Go look at it.
12:32
Speaker 2: It is the finest. It's considered the finest number one
12:37
Speaker 2: apartment building in New York right now. And for example,
12:41
Speaker 2: this penhouse Ken Griffin bought two hundred and forty million.
12:45
Speaker 2: Two hundred and forty million. That's a Now, why would
12:47
Speaker 2: you get upset if you're a mayor or if you're
12:49
Speaker 2: a city. This kind of activity is going on. The
12:52
Speaker 2: billionaires of the world. They're moving here. What does a
12:54
Speaker 2: billionaire do when he gets here? Spends money, spends money
12:58
Speaker 2: all over the place, and he puts business here. Ken Griffin,
13:03
Speaker 2: as we speak, although he may cancel it now as
13:06
Speaker 2: he speak, was working on a skyscraper at fifty second
13:10
Speaker 2: in Park, an enormous skyscraper. It would take five years
13:14
Speaker 2: to build, It would employ six thousand construction workers, and
13:18
Speaker 2: when it opens, it would create fifteen thousand jobs in
13:24
Speaker 2: the city. Now, what kind of mayor would say to
13:26
Speaker 2: a guy like that, get out, we don't want you here.
13:29
Speaker 2: Take you fifteen thousand. Who would get mad at this
13:31
Speaker 2: guy when you find out a guy is doing a
13:34
Speaker 2: project like that and you're the mayor. Every other mayor,
13:37
Speaker 2: governor smart politics whenever they hear of something like this,
13:40
Speaker 2: they call the guy immediately, Hey, if you'd like to meet,
13:44
Speaker 2: if I can help you in any way, What can
13:45
Speaker 2: we do for you to help you get this thing built?
13:48
Speaker 2: That's what you're supposed to do. It's just absolutely insane.
13:51
Speaker 2: But Ken Griffin has been going after Mom Donnie. He's
13:55
Speaker 2: doing interviews and he's talking about Mom Donnie.
13:58
Speaker 6: I think the willingness Mayor to make this a policy
14:01
Speaker 6: debate a personal attack just demonstrated a profound lack of judgment.
14:06
Speaker 2: It does. It's insane, it's illogical, it's irrational, and apparently hocal.
14:12
Speaker 2: Although she's the one pushing this Pieta tear attacks, apparently
14:16
Speaker 2: she wants to meet with Ken Griffin.
14:18
Speaker 6: We'll talk about our future direction New York.
14:20
Speaker 1: Here's the real question.
14:22
Speaker 6: Is New York going to put their fiscal house to
14:24
Speaker 6: order and run itself from a position of a strong
14:26
Speaker 6: government that's pro business or are they looking to play
14:31
Speaker 6: Why did the Americans think we can do socialism?
14:33
Speaker 2: Yeah? Now, the other thing is this guy Ken Griffin
14:36
Speaker 2: is worth fifty billion, and we do that, and the
14:40
Speaker 2: kind of stuff he's done in his career, you become
14:43
Speaker 2: an unbelievable expert at running a business, at efficient business,
14:47
Speaker 2: at running your budget. Now, Mamdani should beg Ken Griffin
14:53
Speaker 2: to give him some lessons. It cost two million dollars
14:56
Speaker 2: to open a grocery store. I mean a good grocery store.
14:59
Speaker 2: I mean a you know, a great, great grocery store
15:03
Speaker 2: that opens in New York, a supermarket chain. Two million
15:05
Speaker 2: to open one Mom Donnie's opening a little tiny dump
15:09
Speaker 2: in the Harlem of a grocery store. Thirty million, twenty
15:13
Speaker 2: eight million more than it should cost. Now, and they
15:17
Speaker 2: do this with everything. It costs forty thousand dollars a
15:21
Speaker 2: mile to pay highway. We spend a million dollars a mile.
15:25
Speaker 2: They're just wasting and wasting taxpayer money. You should beg
15:30
Speaker 2: every Ken Griffin to come help you straighten this out.
15:32
Speaker 1: Now.
15:33
Speaker 2: They don't want to do it because why would they
15:35
Speaker 2: pay ten thousand percent more than they have to for everything?
15:38
Speaker 2: Because they're taking care of contractors unions in exchange for
15:42
Speaker 2: donations and votes, so they don't want that game busted up.
15:46
Speaker 2: But hey, we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three
15:49
Speaker 2: to two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight
15:52
Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten.
15:56
Speaker 1: Set up preset on the iHeartRadio app to dou woor
15:59
Speaker 1: to hear Mark live. Set another for Mark's podcast to
16:03
Speaker 1: hear him any time. Now back to Mark Simone on woor.
16:10
Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three to two
16:13
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three
16:18
Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten. Let's go to Jack and
16:21
Speaker 2: pauling Jack, how you doing.
16:24
Speaker 10: Good morning, Mark, Mark. You made a comment yesterday that
16:28
Speaker 10: we would have gladly paid twenty five billion to prevent
16:32
Speaker 10: nine to eleven, referring to the criticism of the Democrats
16:36
Speaker 10: and Conress.
16:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you mentioned twenty five instead of recapping
16:41
Speaker 2: yesterday's show. Is there something you wanted to say? Well,
16:46
Speaker 2: I guess no.
16:47
Speaker 10: Weapon five megaton bomb hitting New York City would instantly
16:51
Speaker 10: kill five million people. I think most Americans don't know.
16:54
Speaker 2: I think everybody realizes that's the whole point to stop that.
16:57
Speaker 10: Well, I don't know if they end well.
16:59
Speaker 2: Maybe word didn't go up to Pauling yet. Yeah, that's
17:02
Speaker 2: the whole point of this. And it's not only their
17:04
Speaker 2: nuclear material. We didn't really we knew they had rockets
17:08
Speaker 2: and missiles. We didn't realize how long range they were.
17:11
Speaker 2: They had him up to about fifteen hundred miles, which
17:13
Speaker 2: meant they could hit Europe left and right in all
17:17
Speaker 2: kinds of places. And that's just a matter of time
17:19
Speaker 2: before they get up to two three thousand miles and
17:22
Speaker 2: can hit us. So that was the reason for this.
17:24
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing,
17:28
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark. Yes, Mike.
17:30
Speaker 9: You know there were two things about these HEGs hearings
17:33
Speaker 9: that I find interesting. One, for seventy five years, the
17:36
Speaker 9: Democrats have been crying about how what a rotten guy
17:39
Speaker 9: Joe McCarthy was. Meanwhile, they looked make him look like
17:42
Speaker 9: a piker compared to the way he behaved and the
17:45
Speaker 9: way they behaved here. And the other thing is, as
17:49
Speaker 9: you pointed out, Republicans are terrible at that. They think
17:52
Speaker 9: that they can stand on the truths and facts and
17:56
Speaker 9: being unemotional and detached from the emotional part of the argum,
18:00
Speaker 9: and they're wrong. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. Hegss
18:04
Speaker 9: can cite all the facts he wants, he's gonna come
18:07
Speaker 9: out looking bad on this.
18:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you don't want to do what they do,
18:11
Speaker 2: which they just yell and scream and accuse you of
18:13
Speaker 2: everything in the world because they know that'll go viral.
18:15
Speaker 2: They never let it. If you try to answer, they'll
18:18
Speaker 2: cut you off. They do I want you to answer.
18:20
Speaker 9: I know. I wish we would go viral one. So
18:22
Speaker 9: I wish one of these guys would hop out of
18:23
Speaker 9: the seat and bop one of them in a nose
18:25
Speaker 9: one of these days. That's what I'd like to see.
18:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, But the problem is that Pam BONDI try to
18:29
Speaker 2: do that, and then all they do is attacker left
18:31
Speaker 2: and right. Look how disrespectful she was, Look how awful
18:34
Speaker 2: it is.
18:34
Speaker 9: True, it's true, it's a no, it's a really no way.
18:36
Speaker 9: It's a terrible knowing such situation for Republicans. It's unfortunate
18:40
Speaker 9: that they keep trying and to no avail.
18:45
Speaker 2: Mike, what's the temperature in Florida right now?
18:47
Speaker 10: Right now?
18:48
Speaker 9: It's eighty three. Uh, it's it's been close to ninety
18:53
Speaker 9: the last couple of days.
18:53
Speaker 2: So it's getting to that point of the year. Like
18:57
Speaker 2: next weekend is Mother's Day. That's when mar A Lago
19:01
Speaker 2: closes for the season, a lot of stuff closes, everybody
19:04
Speaker 2: flees Florida. For everybody wants to move to Florida, will
19:07
Speaker 2: you tell them that for like four months, it's one
19:08
Speaker 2: hundred degrees and unbearable.
19:11
Speaker 9: It's unbearable, and the weather services are already all excited
19:16
Speaker 9: about hurricane season and hurricane preparedness, and that becomes their
19:19
Speaker 9: mantra for the next four or five months, and it's
19:22
Speaker 9: it's relentless and it's very unnerving to be honest with you.
19:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well, thanks for the honesty, Thanks for calling.
19:29
Speaker 2: It's one thing to remember all these people I'm want
19:30
Speaker 2: to move to Florida, I'm getting it. I don't want
19:32
Speaker 2: to move to Florida. Well, and a lot of teams
19:35
Speaker 2: to give you that same reason, I don't. I can't
19:37
Speaker 2: take the snow, I can't take the winters. Well, we
19:39
Speaker 2: had some really bad snow this year, but be honest,
19:42
Speaker 2: how much it was a week of snow, then it
19:45
Speaker 2: was another week total, it was three weeks of snow altogether.
19:48
Speaker 2: That was about it. Rest of the winter, it was
19:50
Speaker 2: just cold, which is not so bad. You know, you're
19:52
Speaker 2: going to trade that. I mean, the snow is not
19:55
Speaker 2: that bad and kind of pretty. You look at all, right,
19:57
Speaker 2: you don't want to go out so much in it,
19:59
Speaker 2: but think about one hundred degrees every day. You just
20:04
Speaker 2: can't go out. It's unbearable for four or five months
20:08
Speaker 2: in Florida, not only in one hundred degrees. Then you
20:10
Speaker 2: go through two three months of hurricanes having to evacuate.
20:14
Speaker 2: You really want to do that? I don't know. So yeah,
20:19
Speaker 2: let me just check the stock market. The left is
20:22
Speaker 2: going to be very very upset today because the market
20:26
Speaker 2: could hit fifty thousand, which is not good for them.
20:30
Speaker 2: They do not want to see that. Right now, oh,
20:34
Speaker 2: forty nine nine hundred market up two hundred and forty
20:38
Speaker 2: nine points. Right now, it could hit fifty thousand, which
20:41
Speaker 2: is something I mean, it did it briefly once before,
20:44
Speaker 2: but it's something that nobody ever thought possible. Stock market
20:48
Speaker 2: hidden fifty thousand could happen later today, oil prices dropping
20:55
Speaker 2: dropped five dollars today, already down under one hundred. You
20:59
Speaker 2: won't hear about Remember when it spiked one hundred and
21:02
Speaker 2: twenty six dollars. It's spiked, it was all over the news.
21:05
Speaker 2: Just dropped again. Now it's down since that moment, it's
21:09
Speaker 2: down like twenty seven twenty seven dollars a gallon. No mention,
21:13
Speaker 2: they don't mention it. But here's trump on gas.
21:17
Speaker 10: The gas will go down as soon as the war's over.
21:20
Speaker 2: It'll drop like our rock. There's so much of it.
21:22
Speaker 8: It's all over the place, sitting all over the oceans
21:25
Speaker 8: of the world.
21:26
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now we have more oil than anybody, anybody Saudi
21:30
Speaker 2: Arabia they produce about seven million barrels a day. We
21:34
Speaker 2: produce fourteen million barrels a day. We have more oil
21:37
Speaker 2: than anybody. We're the biggest producer of oil in the world.
21:40
Speaker 2: We're now the biggest exporter of oil in the world.
21:43
Speaker 2: We got more oil than we could ever use. And
21:46
Speaker 2: once the Iran thing is wrapped up, don't be surprised
21:48
Speaker 2: if it heads down to sixty dollars a barrel. Some
21:52
Speaker 2: in the industry think it could even go to the fifties.
21:54
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be it's gonna be great for everybody. Hey,
21:57
Speaker 2: we'll get caught up on all the latest news. And
22:00
Speaker 2: then the best legal analyst of all, Greg Jarrett. He
22:03
Speaker 2: was the first guy to start revealing everything years ago
22:08
Speaker 2: about James Comy. We'll get to him and we'll get
22:10
Speaker 2: to a whole lot more coming up on seven to
22:12
Speaker 2: ten wor.
22:14
Speaker 1: Seven ten wrs. Mark Simon.
22:18
Speaker 2: Well, the best legal analyst on earth, Greg Jarrett. Of course,
22:22
Speaker 2: you'll see him on Fox News. And make sure you
22:24
Speaker 2: get his books. They're excellent books, all the way back
22:27
Speaker 2: to witch Hunt in the Russia, Hoax, The Trial of
22:30
Speaker 2: the Century is an incredible legal book, the book the
22:34
Speaker 2: Constitution and other patriotic documents. It's going to Amazon. You
22:37
Speaker 2: can get any of Greg Jarrett's books there. Greg Jarrett,
22:40
Speaker 2: how you doing, Hey? Mark? Good? Fine?
22:43
Speaker 8: Thanks?
22:44
Speaker 2: Hey, you were telling us about Comy years ago, twelve
22:50
Speaker 2: years ago, ten years ago, whatever it was. I mean,
22:52
Speaker 2: you were onto this guy from the beginning. What do
22:56
Speaker 2: you think really happened? Did he just happen to come
22:58
Speaker 2: upon some seashells? Do we believe that?
23:01
Speaker 8: No, it's utterly absurd and I think prosecutors have a
23:07
Speaker 8: lot more evidence than the public knows, maybe more evidence
23:13
Speaker 8: than Comy knows, in the form of incriminating witnesses and documents.
23:19
Speaker 8: You know that according to the Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche,
23:23
Speaker 8: who said, we have witnesses and documents to put case
23:28
Speaker 8: that should send a chill down the spine of Comy
23:31
Speaker 8: and his lawyers. And you know, the evidence that they
23:36
Speaker 8: have may blow a hole in Comy's preposterous claim that
23:42
Speaker 8: he simply happened upon some beautiful shells on the beach
23:47
Speaker 8: and didn't understand. I mean, look, this guy was the
23:52
Speaker 8: head of the FBI. The bureau is highly trained in
23:57
Speaker 8: coded messages and subliminal calls for violence, So to suggest
24:03
Speaker 8: that he didn't understand something that everybody else understands is absurd.
24:10
Speaker 8: But you know, it is a pattern with Komi. He
24:14
Speaker 8: feigns ignorance and plays the dummy, the weasel out of
24:20
Speaker 8: his wrongdoing. He's a master of deceit. He's lied about
24:25
Speaker 8: leaks to the media, lied about disclosing, you know, classified documents,
24:32
Speaker 8: lied to the pies of court. He secretly weaponized the
24:36
Speaker 8: FBI the Russia hoax while denying it with a stray face.
24:42
Speaker 8: And when he isn't doing all of that, he claims
24:45
Speaker 8: acute amnesia. You know, testimony before Congress, he said, see,
24:50
Speaker 8: I don't recall, you know, some two hundred and thirty
24:55
Speaker 8: six times to hear comey tell it. His brain is
25:00
Speaker 8: is mush. I don't buy it. It's all an act.
25:05
Speaker 2: Now, he's a very in real life kind of a weirdo,
25:08
Speaker 2: a awkward, uncomfortable sort of guy to buy. Yeah, So
25:12
Speaker 2: why in recent years did these decide he's going to
25:15
Speaker 2: go on Instagram and be a fun influencer and be
25:17
Speaker 2: the next Kardashian. Why would a guy like that even
25:20
Speaker 2: think he could do that.
25:22
Speaker 8: Well, he's clever and cunning. There's always a reason for it.
25:27
Speaker 8: And you know, there may be something far more nefarious
25:32
Speaker 8: behind the stunt he pulled with the seashells. Because read
25:36
Speaker 8: the indictment. It demands a forfeiture of assets. Now that
25:41
Speaker 8: jumped out at me when I read, you know, the
25:44
Speaker 8: very short indictment. What does that mean forfeiture of assets? Well,
25:49
Speaker 8: the law says you cannot offit from your own illegal acts.
25:55
Speaker 8: So you know, I think this refers to his book
25:59
Speaker 8: Royal To Because it's no coincidence that Komy posted The
26:06
Speaker 8: Seashells online, his alleged threat against Trump, just five days
26:13
Speaker 8: before his book came out on May twenty, twenty twenty five.
26:22
Speaker 8: And you know, the controversy over the post thrust him
26:27
Speaker 8: suddenly back into the spotlight where he had vanished. And
26:31
Speaker 8: guess what it did. It boosted his book sales and
26:36
Speaker 8: thus the forfeiture clause in the indictment. By the way,
26:41
Speaker 8: that book involves, curiously enough, using the Internet to dispense
26:48
Speaker 8: hateful rhetoric and insight violent Well sounds like comy followed
26:54
Speaker 8: the plot of his own books, do, isn't it?
26:58
Speaker 2: Well, he's uh, but he's pretty wealthy guy anyway, Right,
27:01
Speaker 2: he didn't work in a hedge fund world for a while,
27:03
Speaker 2: and yeah he did.
27:05
Speaker 8: He's got accumulated wealth and he owns a beach house.
27:10
Speaker 8: I think it's out on Emerald Isle in North Carolina,
27:13
Speaker 8: which I think is where you know the photograph was taken.
27:17
Speaker 8: So you know, he's not a popper by any means.
27:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's using us as his attorney, Patrick pat fitzp
27:23
Speaker 2: is it Fitzpatrick Fitzgerald who was of christ Child. Yeah,
27:27
Speaker 2: former prosecutor, wasn't he the guy that really went after
27:29
Speaker 2: Scooter Libby and a few other Republicans.
27:33
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, and you know they've been longtime friends. And
27:40
Speaker 8: you know there's some evidence that his lawyer was also
27:43
Speaker 8: involved in the leaking of information. But look, the legal
27:49
Speaker 8: commentators who have denounced the indictment is frivolous or absurd.
27:55
Speaker 8: I think they're overlooking several things. This case is in
27:59
Speaker 8: a con conservative district, the Eastern District of North Carolina,
28:04
Speaker 8: and the eventual trial jury, if it gets to a trial,
28:08
Speaker 8: may actually agree with a grand jury that Komi willfully
28:13
Speaker 8: intended to threaten the life of the president. And the
28:16
Speaker 8: second count against Komi actually gives jurors a choice of
28:20
Speaker 8: a lower standard reckless disregard. So that's easier for prosecutors
28:25
Speaker 8: to prove and look in court the other day, Coomy's
28:30
Speaker 8: lawyers were claiming selective, vindictive prosecution. Well guess what, a
28:37
Speaker 8: lot of other people in that very district have been
28:40
Speaker 8: prosecuted successfully for similar threats. Now, the real question will
28:47
Speaker 8: be in a free speech that's his main defense. But
28:51
Speaker 8: I would remind people of the Supreme Court long ago rule.
28:55
Speaker 2: But the First.
28:55
Speaker 8: Amendment is not a shield for threats against the president.
29:00
Speaker 2: Wow, this will be an interesting case. This is good news. Hey,
29:04
Speaker 2: let me ask you about the White House correspondence dinner.
29:07
Speaker 2: The shooter is agreed to stay in prison and not
29:10
Speaker 2: even fighting for bail anymore. What's going to happen to
29:12
Speaker 2: this guy? Obviously he'll be convicted from the video the evidence.
29:15
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, I mean I think it's a slam dunk.
29:19
Speaker 8: He incriminating himself. You know, he wrote a manifesto and
29:23
Speaker 8: senator family members laying out what he was about to do.
29:26
Speaker 8: Kill people, multiple people, and you know, he also took
29:33
Speaker 8: a photograph of himself heavily armed with knives and guns.
29:36
Speaker 8: And then of course he's caught on tape and he
29:41
Speaker 8: had a law enforcement official secret service and hit him.
29:48
Speaker 8: So you know, he's looking at probably spending the rest
29:53
Speaker 8: of his life behind bars. The top count, of course,
29:56
Speaker 8: is attempt to kill the President of the United States.
30:00
Speaker 8: That carries a life behind bars.
30:03
Speaker 2: You know they always say that about an assassiny. Oh
30:05
Speaker 2: but never get out. Well, John Hinckley's walking around, Squeaky
30:08
Speaker 2: from is walking around, Sarah Jane Moore who shot at
30:12
Speaker 2: Gerald Ford. There's three assassins walking around as we speak.
30:15
Speaker 8: You'res some now, Yeah, I mean the Hinckley thing is
30:18
Speaker 8: different because it was a you know, mental defense insanity,
30:27
Speaker 8: and you know he was put away in a mental institution,
30:30
Speaker 8: so that that's a different standard. But you know, over time,
30:36
Speaker 8: it depends on the venue. And if you're out in California,
30:39
Speaker 8: we're skeeky, squeaky from uh yeah, try to kill the president.
30:46
Speaker 8: You know, the liberal court system tends to release people
30:50
Speaker 8: after a few decades.
30:51
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, if this assassin gets the right lawyer, won't
30:54
Speaker 2: they try a mental defense? I mean, obviously what he
30:57
Speaker 2: was trying to do was nuts. They could just pleading
31:00
Speaker 2: is just insane.
31:01
Speaker 8: Yeah, I doubt it very much. Look, he was a
31:05
Speaker 8: well educated guy with a master's degree. The manifesto indicates.
31:10
Speaker 2: You know, no.
31:13
Speaker 8: Mental delusional disorders. It was pretty straightforward. And you know,
31:20
Speaker 8: I tend to doubt that. You know, they'll try a
31:24
Speaker 8: mental capacity defense. You know, it's they really you know,
31:28
Speaker 8: it's going to be a difficult case to try to defend.
31:30
Speaker 8: And in the end he may copy plate.
31:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what was the plate? Life in prison? That
31:36
Speaker 2: kind of a plate.
31:39
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it depends on you know, what is
31:43
Speaker 8: put on the table. Could be a stated number of
31:47
Speaker 8: years decades. I would imagine the Feds take this stuff
31:51
Speaker 8: pretty seriously, and I'm not sure they're going to offer
31:55
Speaker 8: him a lot.
31:56
Speaker 10: Yeah.
31:57
Speaker 2: Well, I hope you'll write another book, Greg Jarrett after
32:00
Speaker 2: the comedy A chance after that. You got to do
32:03
Speaker 2: it after the Komi trial is finished and hopefully gets convicted.
32:08
Speaker 8: No, well, I think there are going to be other
32:10
Speaker 8: indictments against Comy. Keep an eye on what's happening in
32:13
Speaker 8: Fort Pierce, Florida where a grand jury is convened, and
32:17
Speaker 8: I think in the bullseye there is John Brennan and
32:21
Speaker 8: James Comy and a whole bunch of other people.
32:23
Speaker 2: So we'll see. And that would be over the laptop
32:26
Speaker 2: letter or something like that.
32:29
Speaker 8: Well, no, it would be over a long running conspiracy
32:36
Speaker 8: to defraud the government and violate the constitutional rights of
32:41
Speaker 8: Donald Trump with their law fier crusade that lasted the
32:46
Speaker 8: better part of the decade.
32:47
Speaker 2: Yeah. All right, Well, you were the first guy to
32:50
Speaker 2: sound the all. You were the Paul Revere of this
32:52
Speaker 2: story on Komy and Company. In fact, if you want
32:54
Speaker 2: to go back and get his books witch Hunt and
32:56
Speaker 2: the Russia Hoax and his latest book, The Constitution, other
33:00
Speaker 2: patriotic documents. It's all of his books are at Amazon,
33:03
Speaker 2: and of course watch them on television. Greg Jarrett, thanks
33:06
Speaker 2: for being with.
33:07
Speaker 8: Us, Marco. He's good talking.
33:09
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. Take care. That's very encouraging news. Yeah,
33:15
Speaker 2: just as we've been telling you, just stay tuned. There's
33:18
Speaker 2: more coming, more charges coming against against Comy. Hey, don't forget.

34:17
Speaker 2: a beautiful day to day. It looks like some rain tomorrow.
34:20
Speaker 2: Although they say coastal rain, it means it'll be along
34:23
Speaker 2: the coast. Hopefully it doesn't come inland, stays in the water.
34:26
