Hour 2: Future of Voter Id. · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Still Mark Simone show contenues WI. It's only Monday, in
0:11
Speaker 1: a rough week. So far, it's a mess out there.
0:14
Speaker 1: Just looking out the window, I see more people walking around.
0:18
Speaker 1: An hour and a half ago, you look out the
0:20
Speaker 1: window and see maybe one person on a block walking
0:23
Speaker 1: along the side with Now it's like four or five six,
0:26
Speaker 1: So people are starting to get out there. A lot
0:28
Speaker 1: of stuff will be closed today. Check wherever you're going. Restaurants, supermarkets,
0:33
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff is not open today. Also, it's
0:38
Speaker 1: gonna it'll all die down. It's gonna end by five
0:40
Speaker 1: thirty or six. The wind already dying down. The rate
0:44
Speaker 1: of the snowfall is dramatically down. It was snowing it
0:47
Speaker 1: like two inches an hour overnight. Now it's snowing at
0:49
Speaker 1: like zero point two inches an hour. So much better now.
0:57
Speaker 1: President Trump tomorrow night, big State of the Union speech.
1:00
Speaker 1: He'll talk about tariffs and how to continue them. He
1:02
Speaker 1: can keep doing the tariffs. Just as Supreme Court was
1:06
Speaker 1: not a massive slap down of the tariffs. They basically
1:11
Speaker 1: said the law you're using to do it is the
1:13
Speaker 1: wrong one. And they didn't offer any remedy of any kind.
1:18
Speaker 1: They didn't say you got to return the money or
1:21
Speaker 1: since they kept it very light, it was a very
1:24
Speaker 1: light slap on the wrist. It wasn't what the networks
1:28
Speaker 1: made it out to be. President Trump not happy with
1:30
Speaker 1: the ruling.
1:31
Speaker 2: I can destroy the trade. I can destroy it.
1:34
Speaker 1: What he's talking about here is a lot of people
1:37
Speaker 1: think the Supreme Court ruling was incorrect, including Justice Kavanaugh,
1:40
Speaker 1: who probably wrote the smartest opinion on it. He used
1:44
Speaker 1: this Emergency Powers Act, which allows him to do pretty
1:48
Speaker 1: much anything when it comes to trade with another country.
1:52
Speaker 1: He can shut it down altogether. He can do so
1:54
Speaker 1: many things that, to Kavanaugh's point is it's kind of
1:59
Speaker 1: crazy to think when they wrote this act they didn't
2:03
Speaker 1: also mean he could have tariffs. If he could do
2:06
Speaker 1: the most extreme things, why couldn't he do a light
2:08
Speaker 1: thing like this. So many believe Kavanaugh was right on this.
2:11
Speaker 1: The other judges were wrong in order to even That's
2:14
Speaker 1: what he's talking about here.
2:15
Speaker 2: I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country.
2:19
Speaker 2: I'm even allowed to impose a foreign country destroying embargo.
2:24
Speaker 2: I can embargo. I can do anything I want, but
2:27
Speaker 2: I can't charge one dollar.
2:30
Speaker 1: So that was Kavanaugh's point, and he's probably right. It
2:32
Speaker 1: was a crazy ruling.
2:33
Speaker 2: They're just being fools and lapdogs for the Rhinos and
2:37
Speaker 2: the radical left Democrats, and not that they should have anything.
2:42
Speaker 1: At all to do with it.
2:43
Speaker 2: They're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our constitution.
2:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, if you're watching the networks, this is unprecedented. Now,
2:50
Speaker 1: it's not plenty of presidents of attacked a Supreme Court ruling.
2:53
Speaker 1: But you can't say bad things about the justices, well,
2:56
Speaker 1: of course you can. You know, it's the king of
2:57
Speaker 1: that Chuck Schumer. Remember it came to that was some
3:00
Speaker 1: sort of an abortion room. You remember Schumer out there
3:02
Speaker 1: at the rally with the megaphone warning Gorshous, you're gonna
3:06
Speaker 1: get it, You're gonna get yours. We're gonna go after you.
3:09
Speaker 1: So nobody's been worse at threatening attacking the Supreme Court
3:14
Speaker 1: justice than Chuck Schumer himself. President Trump just saying he's
3:18
Speaker 1: disappointed the.
3:19
Speaker 2: Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and I'm
3:26
Speaker 2: ashamed of certain members of the Court, absolutely ashamed for
3:31
Speaker 2: not having the courage to do what's right for our country.
3:35
Speaker 1: Why, why this is unprecedented, this kind of response, No
3:38
Speaker 1: it's not. Plenty of presidents have said exactly the same thing.
3:42
Speaker 1: Hey the Olympics. Are they over yet? No, they're still going. Hey, well,
3:49
Speaker 1: who watches Network TV anyway? I'm not a big Olympics fan,
3:52
Speaker 1: and I have no interest ever have in hockey. I
3:54
Speaker 1: don't know why. I just can't get interested in hockey
3:57
Speaker 1: watching it. But this is a great moment for the
4:00
Speaker 1: United States as they beat the Canadian hockey team when
4:03
Speaker 1: it's really significant because right now we're bickering with Canada
4:08
Speaker 1: and right now well and also because Canada is the
4:12
Speaker 1: the hockey capital of the world. So if you can
4:14
Speaker 1: beat Canada and hockey, you can beat anybody. Great moment
4:17
Speaker 1: for the United States.
4:19
Speaker 2: Out of states with numbers.
4:22
Speaker 3: Walk Acrostic thumbs, Jack Switcher, the golden goal for the
4:27
Speaker 3: United States.
4:32
Speaker 2: For the first time since the nineteen eighty bar gold
4:35
Speaker 2: in the United States.
4:37
Speaker 1: Takes the doll Well, it was quite exciting, all right.
4:42
Speaker 1: I mean again, I'm not a hockey fan. I'm not
4:44
Speaker 1: a big Olympic fan, but that was exciting. The snow
4:47
Speaker 1: stay home. You got the best county executive in America,
4:51
Speaker 1: Bruce Flakeman, Nassau County.
4:53
Speaker 4: It's easier for our cruise to make the highways and
4:57
Speaker 4: roadways safe, and it will be safer for you to
4:59
Speaker 4: say stay home with the high winds and the snow
5:02
Speaker 4: and the lack of visibility.
5:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another reason for these emergency things where you're
5:09
Speaker 1: not allowed to drive. They want nobody on the roads.
5:11
Speaker 1: It's because it's easier to clear the roads and clean
5:13
Speaker 1: them and keep You can't just wait till it all
5:15
Speaker 1: falls and then clean the road. You got to clean
5:18
Speaker 1: and plow like every couple of inches in order to
5:21
Speaker 1: get it done properly. So that's the other reason.
5:23
Speaker 4: This storm will be a profound storm, one that will
5:28
Speaker 4: reach blizzard level with high winds of fifty to sixty
5:33
Speaker 4: miles an hour, and we could have accumulation exceeding eighteen inches,
5:38
Speaker 4: which would definitely be historic.
5:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you look at Blakeman, it's a good
5:43
Speaker 1: looking guy, but you look at him, he looks like
5:45
Speaker 1: a guy who's been around. He looks like a guy
5:47
Speaker 1: with a ton of experience. He looks like a veteran
5:49
Speaker 1: who's done millions. He looks like he knows what he's doing.
5:52
Speaker 1: Then you look at mom Donnie, he looks like he
5:54
Speaker 1: just got out of college a week ago. He looks
5:56
Speaker 1: like his only joby ever read in his life was
5:59
Speaker 1: being like a paper boy or something. He looks just
6:02
Speaker 1: like a total inexperienced guy.
6:03
Speaker 5: Combined with daytime temperatures slipping above freezing and overnight lows
6:07
Speaker 5: dropping to the low twenties, this snowfall will melt then refreeze,
6:12
Speaker 5: resulting in dangerously icy sidewalks and streets.
6:17
Speaker 1: All right, it looks totally inexperienced. But you get a
6:20
Speaker 1: lot of these young elitist little college kids. They got
6:22
Speaker 1: no experience at all, but they can talk like this,
6:25
Speaker 1: and they can talk very fast, and they talk so
6:26
Speaker 1: fast than you think, well, the guy must know what
6:27
Speaker 1: he's talking about, because who can talk that fast if
6:29
Speaker 1: he doesn't they So they sound like they know what
6:31
Speaker 1: they're doing, but then they try to do it and
6:33
Speaker 1: nothing gets done. Speaking of nothing getting done and incompetent.
6:37
Speaker 1: So this Gavin Newsome is running for president obviously, and
6:43
Speaker 1: you know this voter id question. I think everybody in
6:47
Speaker 1: the world now realizes it's just a complete scam by Democrats.
6:51
Speaker 1: They we have voter id for everything everything, everything to
6:56
Speaker 1: buy anything, to get cough medicine and dructure. You got
6:58
Speaker 1: to have a voter photo ID everywhere to get on
7:01
Speaker 1: a plane, come into any office building. You know, if
7:04
Speaker 1: you want to go to MSNBC or CNN, you got
7:07
Speaker 1: to show photo ID to get in their building. You
7:08
Speaker 1: have to show photo I D everywhere for everything. So
7:11
Speaker 1: the only thing, the only thing they don't want it
7:13
Speaker 1: for is voting, which means it's obviously a scheme to
7:16
Speaker 1: get illegals voting, to get people to vote multiple times.
7:19
Speaker 1: Obviously it's a scam. So Newsom is being interviewed on
7:24
Speaker 1: some panel and he's up there in front of the audiences.
7:28
Speaker 1: He says, well, you can't require a photo ED because
7:31
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't have a birth certificate. They
7:34
Speaker 1: don't have and then Newsom says, I don't have a
7:36
Speaker 1: birth certificate. I don't know where it is. I haven't
7:39
Speaker 1: seen it in a million years. I don't know where
7:41
Speaker 1: my birth certificate is, so I can't get it. How
7:43
Speaker 1: could I get it? A lot of people were stunned
7:46
Speaker 1: that Newsom is Could he be that stupid? I think
7:48
Speaker 1: I assume he's just lying. He's not actually that dumb.
7:51
Speaker 1: It's very easy to get a birth certificate replaced if
7:54
Speaker 1: you don't have your birth certificate. If you lost it
7:56
Speaker 1: a million years ago, it's a simple matter to get
7:59
Speaker 1: it replaced. Just google it replace a birth certificate. Fifty
8:04
Speaker 1: different sites will come up. Government sites. Also, there's a
8:08
Speaker 1: lot of private companies that do it for you. You just
8:11
Speaker 1: go fill out a form where you were born, all
8:13
Speaker 1: that stuff, and they'll get you a replacement birth certific
8:16
Speaker 1: You might have to wait five six weeks for it
8:18
Speaker 1: to come in the mail, but it's very easy to
8:20
Speaker 1: get a birth aat of it if you don't have yours.
8:23
Speaker 1: Simple thing in the world. Nobody could believe Newsom is
8:26
Speaker 1: that stupid, that bumbling, that he has no idea that
8:30
Speaker 1: you can get your birth certify it replaced. So the
8:33
Speaker 1: Democratic Party has a problem. Besides having all these crazy
8:37
Speaker 1: radical left wing far left woke, they've got an amazing
8:41
Speaker 1: assortment of very dumb people. You had AOC last weekend
8:47
Speaker 1: ten days ago. AOC is at this conference in Munich
8:51
Speaker 1: and she's asked a simple foreign policy question. If China
8:54
Speaker 1: invades Taiwan, will the US respond, will they do something?
9:00
Speaker 1: And the answer is, of course, yes, we will defend Taiwan.
9:04
Speaker 1: Or the answer is and this is actually the official
9:08
Speaker 1: policy of the United States. They're called strategic ambiguity, but
9:13
Speaker 1: you give an answer of somethingse so she couldn't answer
9:15
Speaker 1: the question. Instead, she double talk a word salad that
9:19
Speaker 1: sounded so ridiculous. And she's been ridiculed all over the
9:22
Speaker 1: world for bumbling an answer to a simple question. And
9:27
Speaker 1: I guess it's getting to her. So this weekend she
9:29
Speaker 1: put out a it was in the middle of the night.
9:31
Speaker 1: It looked like the middle of the night. She put
9:33
Speaker 1: out this rambling, mumbling, a whispering kind of response, trying
9:38
Speaker 1: to explain why she gave such a dumb answer to
9:41
Speaker 1: the question. And I guess she does this by herself.
9:43
Speaker 1: There's no staff to say to her, Hey, don't post this.
9:47
Speaker 1: You look like you're drunk. It looks like it's in
9:49
Speaker 1: the middle of the night. Look like a drunken rant.
9:51
Speaker 1: Don't post it. You look stoned. You look well, here
9:54
Speaker 1: it is. This is what she posted. It's her at
9:56
Speaker 1: home alone, like right in the face, right in the camera.
10:00
Speaker 6: I think that I don't understand foreign policy because out
10:03
Speaker 6: of hours of discourse about international affairs, I pause to
10:08
Speaker 6: think about one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues that
10:13
Speaker 6: currently exist on Earth. I'm afraid the issue is not
10:17
Speaker 6: my understanding, but rather the problem is perhaps you've gotten
10:22
Speaker 6: adjusted to a president that never thinks before he speaks.
10:29
Speaker 1: With that whole Uh what the ranting was all about?
10:32
Speaker 1: It just sounds really really really crazy, but not helping
10:36
Speaker 1: her at all. Last on the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, Uh,
10:43
Speaker 1: nobody really knows anything at this point. They're talking about
10:45
Speaker 1: the problem is this local sheriff's office, the bumbling local
10:50
Speaker 1: yocal you know, Barney Fife, kind of a sheriff's office,
10:54
Speaker 1: then making statements about the DNA could take a year
10:57
Speaker 1: to analyze. I don't know what that means. They're thinking
11:00
Speaker 1: this could be a total amateur. Some think it's as
11:04
Speaker 1: a couple of private eyes who've been working on this,
11:07
Speaker 1: who think it's the drug cartel. There's a lot of
11:10
Speaker 1: people think it's a total amateur. By the bumbling way
11:13
Speaker 1: that the amateur approached the door and then had nothing
11:16
Speaker 1: to cover the camera with, so he grabbed some foliage
11:19
Speaker 1: and try to do it with that, and then didn't
11:20
Speaker 1: know how to do it. Also, the holster that he
11:23
Speaker 1: was wearing on the front is like the lowest, cheapest, crummiest,
11:26
Speaker 1: most amateurish holster they don't think any professional criminal would
11:30
Speaker 1: use such a holster, and also cited the suspects of
11:35
Speaker 1: clothing and gear. It didn't look right. Now, there's some
11:38
Speaker 1: that still go to the Mexican drug cartel thinking that
11:42
Speaker 1: the type of clothing. And he's one that says, this
11:46
Speaker 1: kind of stuff is typically in Mexico cheap holster. Those
11:49
Speaker 1: weird looking gloves, that sort of stuff. Now they found
11:53
Speaker 1: an Arizona couple found another pair of gloves. These these
11:56
Speaker 1: gloves blood stain out there near the neighborhood. Actually, people
12:01
Speaker 1: have found several different several different gloves all around the neighborhood. Well,
12:05
Speaker 1: how does so many people throw their gloves all over
12:07
Speaker 1: the place. It's a very warm climate there. I don't
12:10
Speaker 1: know why all these people would have gloves anyway, who
12:13
Speaker 1: would wear gloves in such a warm climate. But we'll see. Hey,
12:16
Speaker 1: the Ukraine War, does anybody remember that? You know that
12:19
Speaker 1: Russia Ukraine? Do you know they're still fighting? You never
12:21
Speaker 1: hear a word about this ever used to be all
12:24
Speaker 1: over the news. You don't hear a single thing about it.
12:26
Speaker 1: Watch every newscast in the world for the last week.
12:29
Speaker 1: Nothing about Ukraine. But the war still continues. And Ukraine
12:35
Speaker 1: a huge strike this past week, Ukraine strike missile strike
12:41
Speaker 1: against a key Russian military facility. It was a missile
12:45
Speaker 1: factory actually, and it was deep inside Russia, eight hundred
12:49
Speaker 1: and sixty miles inside Russia, eight hundred and sixty miles
12:53
Speaker 1: inside Russia. And the Ukraine hit it with a bunch
12:57
Speaker 1: of missiles and took it out. And they used not
13:00
Speaker 1: Tomahawk missiles, US Tomahawk. No, No, they used Flamingo missiles.
13:05
Speaker 1: Now you're saying, what the hell's a Flamingo missile. It's
13:07
Speaker 1: actually made by a company called high Point. It's a
13:10
Speaker 1: Ukrainian company in Ukraine. They can travel reportedly two thousand miles.
13:15
Speaker 1: But they were right on target. Took out this missile
13:18
Speaker 1: factory eight hundred and sixty miles deep inside Russia, all
13:22
Speaker 1: done with Ukrainian made missiles. Pretty good. So it may
13:27
Speaker 1: get to the point where they may be able to
13:29
Speaker 1: actually make their own weapons, defend themselves, not depend on
13:33
Speaker 1: us for anything.
13:36
Speaker 7: Though.

Speaker 1: Misible let of snow on the ground, A lot of
15:26
Speaker 1: snow on the.
15:27
Speaker 8: Streets, and you can't you know, it's part of the
15:30
Speaker 8: reason I'm calling you. You know, every time you call
15:34
Speaker 8: three one one, they tell you all when it's side
15:36
Speaker 8: of the street, parking is suspended. But they always say,
15:41
Speaker 8: ye still have to feed the meter. And maybe you
15:45
Speaker 8: know why they do that. You can't even find the
15:49
Speaker 8: car let alone the meter in a in a thing
15:53
Speaker 8: like this, you have any idea why they just don't
15:56
Speaker 8: cancel both.
15:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's called money, it's called revenue. They want you
16:00
Speaker 1: to feed the meter. That way, they can send you
16:02
Speaker 1: a ticket if you don't feed it. Obviously, right now
16:05
Speaker 1: you can't find the meter. And do they still have
16:07
Speaker 1: parking meters anywhere? I guess they do. I mean they haven't,
16:11
Speaker 1: but you don't pay you. There's no such thing as
16:12
Speaker 1: putting a quarter in a parking meter anymore. You got
16:15
Speaker 1: to use the app. And how many of these do
16:18
Speaker 1: I have on my phone? Wherever you go it's a
16:19
Speaker 1: different app. If you're in Connecticut, it's this one park Mobile.
16:25
Speaker 1: If you're somewhere else it's park NYC. You're gonna have
16:28
Speaker 1: all these different apps. Passport parking, that one works in
16:32
Speaker 1: a Long Island's a lot. Let's go to Rich in
16:35
Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach. Rich, How you doing pretty good?
16:38
Speaker 3: No snow, but it does feel like twenty two degrees
16:40
Speaker 3: down here, so we got the cold air, you know.
16:42
Speaker 1: So you're in Myrtle Beach. You ever get a lot
16:44
Speaker 1: of snow? You don't get snow there, do you?
16:46
Speaker 3: Yeah?
16:46
Speaker 7: We did.
16:47
Speaker 3: We had five inches last month and stuck around for
16:50
Speaker 3: a day. Two last year we had five or six inches.
16:52
Speaker 3: That's stuck around for almost a week. But you know,
16:55
Speaker 3: they have a little clown call with a shovel on it,
16:57
Speaker 3: and that's their their plow, and you know it actually
17:01
Speaker 3: just shuts down the entire state when something like that happens.
17:04
Speaker 1: You know, well, we got fifteen inches in New York,
17:06
Speaker 1: eighteen inches in the suburbs, two feet in the south
17:10
Speaker 1: shore of Long Island.
17:11
Speaker 3: So that's why I used to live in Long Beach
17:13
Speaker 3: and Atlantic Beach. I'd probably have two feet of snow
17:15
Speaker 3: right now. You know, I sit around and just watch it. Melt.
17:18
Speaker 3: I used to like shoveling snow, even when I was
17:20
Speaker 3: in my fifties. I made money shoveling snow.
17:23
Speaker 1: Come up here. You can get nineteen dollars and forty
17:25
Speaker 1: cents an hour from Mamdani.
17:27
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm trying to have to show two forms of
17:29
Speaker 3: ID even though I don't need one to vote. That's
17:31
Speaker 3: pretty unbelievable. That was I saw that in the news
17:33
Speaker 3: the other day. You have to have two forms of
17:35
Speaker 3: ID to shovel snow for twelve dollars an hour, but
17:38
Speaker 3: you don't have to have one to vote up there.
17:40
Speaker 3: You know, Hey, I'm watching the news here, Mark, And
17:43
Speaker 3: you know they killed this drug cartel Kingtin in Mexico,
17:46
Speaker 3: who was an ex cop by the way, all right,
17:48
Speaker 3: so instead of the cartel's just taking the loss, putting
17:51
Speaker 3: somebody else in shorge and keep pumping out the drugs.
17:53
Speaker 3: Now they want to just make themselves be known. And
17:56
Speaker 3: now they want to burn half of Mexico and that's
17:57
Speaker 3: just going to make things worse for them. You figure
17:59
Speaker 3: they would have learned, but it.
18:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's quite a situation. You know. You could be
18:02
Speaker 1: in New York City visiting, staying here in a hotel.
18:05
Speaker 1: You get caught in the snowstorm. Airports are closed, you
18:07
Speaker 1: can't get out. You could be down to Florida. Ooh, hurricane,
18:12
Speaker 1: You're stuck. You can't get out. These people are in
18:15
Speaker 1: this town in Mexico and some drug cartel guy shoots
18:19
Speaker 1: the leader of the other drug cartel, like the Hector Salamanca,
18:25
Speaker 1: and all hell breaks loose. This cartel members all over
18:27
Speaker 1: the streets of this town shooting at everybody, blowing up buses, shooting,
18:31
Speaker 1: and so everybody is told they can't leave their hotel.
18:34
Speaker 1: It's too dangerous. Even the State Department puts out an
18:38
Speaker 1: announcement shelter in place for Americans. Tourists have been warned
18:42
Speaker 1: to stay indoors. Narco gangs cartels are on a rampage
18:48
Speaker 1: following the death of the drug kingpin. One person reporting
18:51
Speaker 1: a bus was going by totally on fire. They're bombing, killing, shooting.
18:56
Speaker 1: All of this is a nice Mexico resort town. Let's
19:00
Speaker 1: go to Vincent and Brooklyn Vincent, how you doing? Wait
19:04
Speaker 1: a minute, there you go, Vincent, how you doing?
19:07
Speaker 9: I'm okay, considering the fact that I was up until
19:11
Speaker 9: four o'clock in the morning trying to keep my front
19:13
Speaker 9: door clear so I could open it. Now I can
19:18
Speaker 9: you hear me? Mark?
19:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you no, I can't.
19:22
Speaker 9: I can't open up my front door. And thank the Lord,
19:27
Speaker 9: I have enough food in my house for the next week.
19:29
Speaker 9: I cannot open my front door. I was up until
19:32
Speaker 9: four o'clock in the morning, going out every hour just
19:35
Speaker 9: so I could not even just swing it open, that's all.
19:39
Speaker 9: And uh, now I can't. I can't open the market.
19:44
Speaker 9: It's terrible over here.
19:45
Speaker 1: Wow, you're like under house arrest.
19:47
Speaker 9: Nothing personally exactly, and I have I have a steel
19:51
Speaker 9: door of my house. I have bars on my window,
19:54
Speaker 9: so it's like it's like I'm a prison of my
19:57
Speaker 9: own making and mother nature making.
20:00
Speaker 3: Oh.
20:01
Speaker 9: By the way, I want to give a plug out
20:03
Speaker 9: to the Seacrade Radio three because that's what I was
20:07
Speaker 9: listening to. Aside from looking at the weather. At eleven
20:13
Speaker 9: o'clock to track the storm, I put on the weather
20:16
Speaker 9: channel on the seacraying radio and it is great. It
20:20
Speaker 9: is everything that Larry meant. He says it is. The
20:24
Speaker 9: sound clarity is wonderful. The station's coming real clare, no noise,
20:30
Speaker 9: no static. I would recommend anybody especially this is the
20:35
Speaker 9: perfect situation that proves this radio's weight, you know, I
20:42
Speaker 9: mean way involved. Actually on the day like today, it
20:46
Speaker 9: was really it really helped me get to no it's great, Mark,
20:53
Speaker 9: it's great.
20:54
Speaker 1: Vincent, thanks for calling. Great call. Yeah, as I remember
20:56
Speaker 1: saying earlier, put the iHeart app on your phone. That's
21:00
Speaker 1: the best radio. If you want a physical radio, the
21:03
Speaker 1: best one made in the world is C Crane. They
21:06
Speaker 1: come in different sizes. I have I think I have
21:10
Speaker 1: about six Sea Crane radios, I mean some of them
21:13
Speaker 1: from years ago. But they never ever ever break or
21:15
Speaker 1: where they last you forever you plug them in. But
21:19
Speaker 1: they also can operate on batteries, so if God forbid,
21:21
Speaker 1: lose your power, it'll still work. It is the best radio,
21:25
Speaker 1: especially AM FM, of course. But if they want the
21:27
Speaker 1: best AM radio made in the world, c Crane. I
21:31
Speaker 1: think they're in Massa. It's a Massachusetts company. I think.
21:34
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but I've been buying them for years.
21:35
Speaker 1: Nobody no better radio than Sea Crane. If you need
21:39
Speaker 1: a radio and you worried about power outages, get a
21:45
Speaker 1: ce crane radio. Battery can run on batteries, and you know,
21:48
Speaker 1: you can get a battery powered lamp. You can get
21:50
Speaker 1: a battery powered heater. You get all that kind of stuff.
21:54
Speaker 1: Just look online. You'll find it and something you should
21:57
Speaker 1: have at home. Battery powered lamps, heaters. You can get
22:01
Speaker 1: a little tiny portable generator if if you're worried about
22:03
Speaker 1: power artist, you should have all that stuff at home.
22:05
Speaker 1: You got seventeen thousand people without power in New York,
22:09
Speaker 1: mostly Long Island. New Jersey got one hundred and thirty
22:13
Speaker 1: seven thousand people without power, thirteen thousand without power in Connecticut.
22:18
Speaker 1: So hey, when we come back John Fund, he is
22:21
Speaker 1: the great columnist. He wrote the best book ever on
22:24
Speaker 1: elections and security. And we'll talk to him about voter ID,
22:29
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, the midterms and more. Just
22:31
Speaker 1: ahead on seven to ten, WOOR give wr Brie said
22:37
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app to hear Marx Simone and all
22:40
Speaker 1: the WOOR hosts in an instance.
22:43
Speaker 2: Now back to the Marximo Show on wor.
22:48
Speaker 1: Well, we like to bring you the smartest people around.
22:51
Speaker 1: John Fund, the great columnist National Review, and also the
22:56
Speaker 1: Committee on Leash Prosperity does great work there, and he
22:59
Speaker 1: wrote the best book on the subject of our elections.
23:03
Speaker 1: You've got to get his book. It's called Our Broken
23:06
Speaker 1: Elections by John Fund. You can get it on Amazon,
23:10
Speaker 1: John Fund, How you doing a pleasure?
23:13
Speaker 7: Thank you?
23:14
Speaker 1: Hey, voter ID the fight sign.
23:17
Speaker 7: Luckily I'm in Florida, so I don't have to sit
23:19
Speaker 7: through your snow. But you know, I hope, I hope
23:22
Speaker 7: your listeners are warm and at home.
23:24
Speaker 1: You're missing all the fun here, and don't try to
23:27
Speaker 1: get back. The airport's going to be closed for three days, but.
23:31
Speaker 7: I'm not. I'm not due until Friday. I'll be fine.
23:33
Speaker 7: You'll be fine. Hey, this voter I D thing, it
23:37
Speaker 7: gets more and more and more ridiculous. Obviously you need
23:39
Speaker 7: an ID to buy anything anywhere, to get into any
23:42
Speaker 7: office building. It's obviously the Democrats up to no good
23:47
Speaker 7: with this voter ID stuff.
23:48
Speaker 1: Am I right?
23:51
Speaker 7: Well, let's look at the New York City we learned
23:54
Speaker 7: a few years ago when Deblasio was mayor how much
23:58
Speaker 7: fraud there was in New York City elect the Democratic
24:02
Speaker 7: appointee to the Board of Elections for Manhattan was accosted
24:06
Speaker 7: by James O'Keefe at a party and he admitted how
24:09
Speaker 7: much fraud there was in New York. He said, you know,
24:11
Speaker 7: in buses they rent them in Chinatown, they take up,
24:14
Speaker 7: pick up the homeless, they give them packs of cigarettes,
24:16
Speaker 7: they drive them from polling place to polling place, and
24:20
Speaker 7: that's just one way that they do fraud. And Deblasio's
24:24
Speaker 7: response was not to question him about the fraud, but
24:27
Speaker 7: to fire him. He fired his own Democratic appointee to
24:30
Speaker 7: the Board of Elections. So we know there's fraud. Now,
24:35
Speaker 7: what does Mayor Mandami do well. The mayor says, voter
24:39
Speaker 7: ID is racist. He agrees with Chuck Schumer that it's
24:42
Speaker 7: Jim Crow two point zero. But when he announces that
24:46
Speaker 7: the city needs emergency snow shovelers yesterday, what does he say.
24:52
Speaker 7: It's nineteen dollars an hour, you know, good wages, maybe
24:56
Speaker 7: not union wages, but good wages.
24:58
Speaker 3: And you only.
25:00
Speaker 7: Have to bring five forms of ID to sign up.
25:03
Speaker 7: You need two photos, you need two IDs and your
25:09
Speaker 7: Social Security card and then you can snow. Then you're
25:12
Speaker 7: allowed to shovel snow, which is of course a high security,
25:16
Speaker 7: high impact job. So The hypocrisy here is beyond rich.
25:24
Speaker 1: Isn't it also the most racist thing on earth? For
25:27
Speaker 1: Democrats to say, well, a black voter can't figure out
25:29
Speaker 1: how to get an idea they wouldn't be capable of getting.
25:32
Speaker 1: How racist is well?
25:33
Speaker 7: The Brennan Center, which is the liberal think tank that
25:37
Speaker 7: does these issues, say twenty five percent of African Americans
25:40
Speaker 7: lack of a lower ID, an idea that would be
25:43
Speaker 7: accepted at the polls. That's ridiculous. Everybody knows that. I mean,
25:47
Speaker 7: you can't sign up for Medicare, you can't sign up
25:50
Speaker 7: for catching a check, you can't travel, you can't do
25:55
Speaker 7: anything with that idea today, it's preposterous to say the
25:57
Speaker 7: twenty five percent of African Americans ID. And of course
26:01
Speaker 7: African Americans think it's preposterous. If you look at the polls,
26:04
Speaker 7: the most recent ones of the Washington Post survey and
26:08
Speaker 7: the and the Pew Research survey, seventy one percent of
26:13
Speaker 7: African Americans support photo idea at the polls, sixty seven
26:17
Speaker 7: percent of Hispanics and eighty percent of Asian Americans. So
26:23
Speaker 7: if it's so racist, if it's so discriminatory, why is
26:27
Speaker 7: it that they all of these minority groups have false
26:30
Speaker 7: consciousness and believe something which isn't true.
26:35
Speaker 1: He didn't Obama require photo ID to get Obamacare.
26:40
Speaker 7: Well, of course you need the idea to get Obamacare.
26:42
Speaker 7: You need ID for everything. In fact, if you march
26:45
Speaker 7: down to the to the city hall to get married,
26:48
Speaker 7: and that's you know, marriage is a constitutional right, whether
26:51
Speaker 7: it's gay or straight marriage, you've got to have an ID.
26:53
Speaker 9: Yeah.
26:54
Speaker 1: Well, so what do you think will happen? Will we
26:56
Speaker 1: get the can the federal government do something to make
26:59
Speaker 1: it uniform voter idea require?
27:01
Speaker 7: First of all, we don't want to follow what Joe
27:04
Speaker 7: Biden did, which is he tried to nationalize the elections.
27:07
Speaker 7: He tried to take away the power of the states
27:10
Speaker 7: to run the elections and federalize it in Washington. We
27:13
Speaker 7: don't want that. So what the law that's before the
27:16
Speaker 7: Senate now it passes past the House. The law says,
27:20
Speaker 7: the federal government, if it's going to give money to
27:22
Speaker 7: people to the states for voting machines and improving their technology,
27:28
Speaker 7: in response, you have to require that the states ask
27:33
Speaker 7: for a photo ID to vote the polls. And when
27:35
Speaker 7: people first register they have to prove their citizenship. And
27:39
Speaker 7: there are many ways to prove your citizenship. You can
27:41
Speaker 7: do it with a birth certificate, which, by the way,
27:43
Speaker 7: you can get online. Now you can go through almost
27:46
Speaker 7: all the records and if you're less than eighty years old,
27:48
Speaker 7: you're going to find your certificate online and can get
27:50
Speaker 7: a copy sent to you. And look, I'll say it
27:53
Speaker 7: should be free, you know. I think that everybody should
27:56
Speaker 7: have access to a free ID and then they can
27:59
Speaker 7: use it to vote. And you know that's why. So
28:03
Speaker 7: it's so easy, that's why so overwhelming majorities of every
28:06
Speaker 7: American demographic group supported. In fact, the last time I
28:10
Speaker 7: checked it was the Washington Post survey. There were forty
28:13
Speaker 7: different categories of voters and the only category, which voter
28:17
Speaker 7: I D did not have a majority of it had
28:20
Speaker 7: a plurality support. More supported it than not. They were
28:23
Speaker 7: few not sure was the extremely liberal group I call
28:26
Speaker 7: those MSNBC and ms NOW voters. Other than that, everyone
28:32
Speaker 7: supports voter ID.
28:34
Speaker 1: So, hey, maybe maybe it's too early to ask you this, Well,
28:36
Speaker 1: how does it look for the midterms? What do you
28:38
Speaker 1: think happens in the midterms?
28:40
Speaker 7: If the election work today would not be good. But
28:43
Speaker 7: the election is not held today, It's held in November,
28:46
Speaker 7: and the economy will go through a lot of generations
28:48
Speaker 7: before then. President Trump, you know, has been known to
28:52
Speaker 7: pull rabbits out of hats, but you know he's gonna
28:55
Speaker 7: have to be a pretty big rabbit. He has made
28:57
Speaker 7: some tactical mistakes, Mark, and unfortunately I think he is
29:03
Speaker 7: anger sometimes gets ahead of his cold calculated self interest.
29:09
Speaker 7: And the problem with the tariffs is this. The tariffs
29:13
Speaker 7: are very very popular with his base. Eighty seven percent
29:17
Speaker 7: of Maga Republicans like the tariffs, but forty three percent
29:22
Speaker 7: of non Maga Republicans support the tariffs. So there's a
29:25
Speaker 7: big gap there, and there's still a lot of non
29:27
Speaker 7: Maga Republicans. So here's the problem. Overall, independents hate the
29:32
Speaker 7: tariffs by two to one, and they're the ones who
29:36
Speaker 7: decide the election in these thirty swing house races. I
29:40
Speaker 7: think the Supreme Court handed the President a gift. It
29:43
Speaker 7: gives him an excuse to blame someone else for scilling
29:47
Speaker 7: back to tariffs and not making them the big issue
29:50
Speaker 7: in the campaign. Here's the problem we have, Mark, He's
29:53
Speaker 7: imposed this new fifteen percent tariff, but it expires in
29:56
Speaker 7: five months. That puts us right in the middle of
29:59
Speaker 7: the fall campaign. Congress will then have to vote on
30:01
Speaker 7: the tariffs to extend them, otherwise they go away immediately.
30:05
Speaker 7: Trump will put pressure on the Republican congressman to vote
30:08
Speaker 7: for them, but enough will not vote for them that
30:10
Speaker 7: he'll go down to defeat. He'll look weak. The tariffs
30:13
Speaker 7: will be the issue in the fall election. It won't
30:16
Speaker 7: be ice, It'll be the tariffs, and people who worry
30:20
Speaker 7: about affordability and the high price of things are going
30:22
Speaker 7: to say Trump wanted tariffs, he just forced Congress to
30:25
Speaker 7: vote on them, and I don't want high prices, so
30:28
Speaker 7: I'm going to not vote Republican or stay home.
30:30
Speaker 1: Well, now, what can he do tomorrow night, say to
30:33
Speaker 1: the Union speach to fix that? Can he do something
30:36
Speaker 1: tomorrow night to really.
30:36
Speaker 7: Make if he wants to pull rabbit out of the hat,
30:39
Speaker 7: here's the biggest rabbit he can pull. Right now, Everything
30:42
Speaker 7: in our economy is indexed. You know, your Social Security
30:46
Speaker 7: payment is indexed, your tax brackets are indexed. Everything is
30:50
Speaker 7: indexed for inflation. The one thing that isn't indexed for
30:53
Speaker 7: inflation is capital gains. If you buy an asset, whether
30:57
Speaker 7: it's a painting, a house, a stock, it's not index
31:01
Speaker 7: translation as it appreciates in value. In other words, if
31:04
Speaker 7: you sell something, you're selling it at the price it
31:07
Speaker 7: is today, not the price you paid for it. So
31:10
Speaker 7: what the president can do, and he could do it
31:12
Speaker 7: with housing, but I think he should do it with
31:13
Speaker 7: the economy as a whole. He should say, if you
31:16
Speaker 7: sell something, you're going to pay the capital gains on
31:20
Speaker 7: the original price, not the price you settle down. This
31:22
Speaker 7: will unlock housing all over the country. There are people
31:25
Speaker 7: sitting in houses mark that aren't selling because they don't
31:28
Speaker 7: want to pay the capital gains because there's your housing
31:32
Speaker 7: exemption goes away after a while. If he did that,
31:34
Speaker 7: that would be turbo charging the economy. Secretary of State, Treasury,
31:38
Speaker 7: Secretary's Treasury vest and has done the numbers. Would turbo
31:41
Speaker 7: charge the economy would have a rush of GDP growth
31:45
Speaker 7: and people would be freed up. They could get they
31:48
Speaker 7: could change assets, they could buy new assets. It would
31:51
Speaker 7: be a boon and it would be a political winner.
31:54
Speaker 1: Wow. Good stuff, well, John Fund brilliant as always. Get

Speaker 1: seen more streets. Gives you more of the street. A
33:01
Speaker 1: lot of stuff looks closed out there. There are people
33:03
Speaker 1: walking around. Subways are running, not every single line, and
33:08
Speaker 1: many of the lines have delays or some expresses. Now

33:27
Speaker 1: they say, the airports will not get back to normal
33:30
Speaker 1: till Wednesday. Bridges are still closed now that's mostly the winds.
33:34
Speaker 1: You can shovel the snow on the bridge, but it's
33:36
Speaker 1: the winds that causes the closure, and the winds are
33:39
Speaker 1: dying down. They were up to eighty miles an hour
