Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, this is Mark Simon Show on seven ten.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Hey, I gotta let to get to today. How much longer?
- 0:13Speaker 2: In Iran, we'll tell you Savannah Guthrie very very moving
- 0:18Speaker 2: moving stuff in her interview. We'll get to meta Facebook
- 0:23Speaker 2: YouTube lost a blockbuster lawsuit. This could spell real, real
- 0:30Speaker 2: trouble for them if they don't get this turned around.
- 0:33Speaker 2: We'll get to Florida. How come Democrats are suddenly winning
- 0:37Speaker 2: in Florida. We'll get to Tis James. New charges coming
- 0:40Speaker 2: against her, new criminal referrals are coming. It's Mets opening day,
- 0:45Speaker 2: to day, city field, Mets opening day, Baseball season, easters
- 0:50Speaker 2: right around the corner, and we got hang on to
- 0:53Speaker 2: Gona sneeze again. Allergy allergies. It's the worst couple of
- 1:01Speaker 2: days of allergies, driving us crazy. But hopefully this goes
- 1:07Speaker 2: away after a few more days. Curtis sounds like he's
- 1:10Speaker 2: got allergies. I sound like I got it. It's terrible,
- 1:13Speaker 2: but so Iran figure two and a half more weeks.
- 1:16Speaker 2: That's the word, two and a half more weeks. They
- 1:18Speaker 2: want to wrap it up. The President wants to wrap
- 1:20Speaker 2: it up, notw to wrap it up. You're going to
- 1:22Speaker 2: have to have one final massive strike, massive way beyond
- 1:29Speaker 2: anything we've done so far. So they're planning that very carefully.
- 1:32Speaker 2: There will be one monstrous monsters strike, just take out
- 1:36Speaker 2: everything military, every offensive capability they have. That'll happen at
- 1:40Speaker 2: the end. We are negotiating. At the same time. As
- 1:45Speaker 2: we've been telling you there's a third party. We can
- 1:47Speaker 2: now tell you it's Pakistan. They've been negotiating through. Pakistan
- 1:51Speaker 2: has been the intermediary between the US and Iran. They're
- 1:54Speaker 2: far apart on terms, but that's always the case in
- 1:57Speaker 2: the beginning. The war continues, and the only criticism is
- 2:01Speaker 2: this not an economical war, because we've taken out all
- 2:04Speaker 2: the big stuff that Iran has and they're down to
- 2:06Speaker 2: their drones, and they've been using these drones. These are
- 2:10Speaker 2: very sophisticated drones, long range drones. They cost about thirty
- 2:14Speaker 2: thousand apiece, and we've taken out just about everyone, like
- 2:18Speaker 2: ninety five percent of them we strike down. However, we
- 2:23Speaker 2: do it with a missile that costs about a million dollars.
- 2:26Speaker 2: So for every thirty thousand dollars drone we not got
- 2:29Speaker 2: it cost us a million to knock it out, but
- 2:32Speaker 2: it's well worth it. It's well worth it. He also
- 2:34Speaker 2: forgot to mention Jimmy Kimmel getting in all kinds of trouble.
- 2:38Speaker 2: You know, Jimmy Kimmel when he first came along, was
- 2:40Speaker 2: on that sports show, the Man show that this shows
- 2:44Speaker 2: is some sort of blue collar, you know, average guy.
- 2:50Speaker 2: And now he became this elitist Hollywood figure, this total elitist,
- 2:56Speaker 2: and as any elitist democrat does, he just put down people.
- 3:00Speaker 2: You know, they pretend they're fighting for the little guy.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Meantime they hate the little guy. So Mark Wayne Mullen
- 3:06Speaker 2: gets confirmed as the new head of Homeland Security and
- 3:12Speaker 2: Kimmel goes off on him in the monologue two Nights
- 3:16Speaker 2: ago about it. He's a plumber. Before he was in Congress,
- 3:19Speaker 2: he was a plumber. Well actually, you know, he was
- 3:22Speaker 2: a famous for wrestling, but he did I don't know
- 3:25Speaker 2: if he was an actual plumber. He did start a
- 3:27Speaker 2: plumbing business and it grew. He really built it into
- 3:32Speaker 2: some big business down there. You know, it's one little
- 3:34Speaker 2: plumbing company and then it became a whole bunch of them,
- 3:37Speaker 2: so very successful plumbing business. But Kimmel putting him down.
- 3:40Speaker 2: It's just a plumber. Can you imagine putting a plumber
- 3:44Speaker 2: in charge of homeland security was the way he said it,
- 3:46Speaker 2: a plumber, as if as if that's the lowest thing
- 3:50Speaker 2: on earth. Well, the idea of the Democratic Party was there. Therefore,
- 3:55Speaker 2: the working man, the working guy, the factory worker, the
- 3:58Speaker 2: blue collar guy. Remember Biden pretending all those years to
- 4:02Speaker 2: be lunch bucket Joe or whatever. He was that fake
- 4:05Speaker 2: every man. So Kim will get in a lot of
- 4:08Speaker 2: flack everywhere for putting down working people like that. Just
- 4:12Speaker 2: looked awful. Savannah Guthrie, the interview has been playing today
- 4:17Speaker 2: and tomorrow, very very moving. She's crying Hoda Cottpy's interviewer,
- 4:23Speaker 2: or she's crying. I didn't realize the house that her
- 4:27Speaker 2: mother lived in, that's been the family house forever. In fact,
- 4:30Speaker 2: it's the house Savannah Guthrie grew up and they moved
- 4:32Speaker 2: there when she was four years old. It's the house
- 4:35Speaker 2: she always lived in. And she said she just can't
- 4:37Speaker 2: go in it now. It's too many nightmares in there.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Here's a bit of the interview.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony, Yeah,
- 4:48Speaker 1: we are in agony. It is unbearable to think of
- 5:00Speaker 1: That's what she went through.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Now I can imagine her pain, but I don't know.
- 5:04Speaker 2: I mean, I understand NBC's a business and they do
- 5:07Speaker 2: it for ratings, But should you be exploiting this agony
- 5:10Speaker 2: like that, filming it, breaking it up in a two
- 5:13Speaker 2: part series. You shouldn't be exploiting this. And you're watching
- 5:17Speaker 2: her in it, just torturous pain. And then a month
- 5:22Speaker 2: from now she's gonna come back to the Today Show.
- 5:24Speaker 2: And what is she going to do is go back
- 5:26Speaker 2: to being herself now with the weather here's so it's
- 5:28Speaker 2: not gonna look right, here's more of it.
- 5:31Speaker 3: I wake up every night, in the middle of the night,
- 5:37Speaker 3: every night, and in the darkness, I imagine her terror
- 5:51Speaker 3: and it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought.
- 5:58Speaker 1: And ill that she needs to come home.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, she does. In all the interview, all these interviews,
- 6:12Speaker 2: she talks about her mother in the present tense. It
- 6:15Speaker 2: was hard to be hard to believe that the mother
- 6:17Speaker 2: is still alive a couple of months later, without her medicine,
- 6:20Speaker 2: without you know, that's hard problems. So but again you
- 6:25Speaker 2: listen to her in this pain and this agony, and
- 6:28Speaker 2: it's going to be hard for her to go back
- 6:30Speaker 2: to work and just say it's not good. I mean,
- 6:34Speaker 2: how's she going to do it? I guess you can
- 6:36Speaker 2: pull yourself together. They were talking about April tenth, but
- 6:39Speaker 2: that's not far away. I don't know if she makes
- 6:41Speaker 2: it back by April tenth. A couple of things she
- 6:44Speaker 2: revealed the house. When they first went to the house,
- 6:46Speaker 2: the back doors of the house had been propped open.
- 6:50Speaker 2: The back doors of the house had been propped open.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Mother wasn't there. That thought maybe there was some medical emergency,
- 6:57Speaker 2: and paramedics came and took her through the back door,
- 7:00Speaker 2: maybe a stretcher, that's why they opened the back door.
- 7:02Speaker 2: But they saw the mother's phone was there, her Apple watch,
- 7:05Speaker 2: her purse, everything was there. So they couldn't figure out
- 7:09Speaker 2: what happened. They finally called the police, and then they
- 7:11Speaker 2: said it was all chaos. You know, these local police,
- 7:15Speaker 2: local Arizona police, not the most efficient in the world.
- 7:21Speaker 2: All the ransom notes, she believes they were all fake.
- 7:24Speaker 2: There's two that she thinks could possibly have been real,
- 7:28Speaker 2: but she believes all the other notes just total fakes,
- 7:32Speaker 2: people trying to cash in. And then she did say
- 7:36Speaker 2: at one point she's tormented by the idea that it
- 7:40Speaker 2: was because of her her mother got kidnapped. Maybe the
- 7:43Speaker 2: kidnapper thought the daughter's famous, she's got a lot of money.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Maybe that's a good target. So that she said, will
- 7:49Speaker 2: just haunt her forever. But tough to watch that interview.
- 7:53Speaker 2: It's very tough to watch it. So now, hey, in Florida,
- 7:58Speaker 2: in Palm Beach, you know, a little congressional race the
- 8:02Speaker 2: Democrat wins. This is Palm Beach, this is mar A Lago,
- 8:05Speaker 2: this is Trump's hometown. But it's happening more and more
- 8:09Speaker 2: in Florida, where Democrats are suddenly winning where they don't
- 8:13Speaker 2: usually win, where they never won before. There are a
- 8:15Speaker 2: couple of congressional races Democrats have won in Florida, surprising everybody.
- 8:20Speaker 2: In Miami, for the first time in a million years,
- 8:22Speaker 2: they elected a Democrat as mayor of Miami. Things are
- 8:27Speaker 2: changing down there. Know why is this? Well, you know
- 8:30Speaker 2: they say, everybody's moving to Miami. Everybody's all the New Yorkers,
- 8:34Speaker 2: are people of New Jersey, people of New York people,
- 8:37Speaker 2: they're all moving to Miami. Well, those are mostly Democrats.
- 8:40Speaker 2: So you got all these people there now voting Democrat.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Why else would it suddenly be changing. Why else? I mean,
- 8:48Speaker 2: it's always a Republican wins in Miami. Why is suddenly
- 8:50Speaker 2: a Democrat winning? Same thing in Palm Beach? Always a Republican.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Why is it democrat suddenly win? Because you've got all
- 8:56Speaker 2: these New Yorkers down there voting now, and the move
- 9:00Speaker 2: down there continues. So if this trend continues, we have
- 9:05Speaker 2: a lot of listeners down there in Florida. You may
- 9:07Speaker 2: be living in a democratic estate pretty soon. You may
- 9:10Speaker 2: be living in democratic city pretty soon. And those Democrats,
- 9:14Speaker 2: you know what they do. They like to tax you
- 9:16Speaker 2: to death, They like to drive your nuts with all
- 9:18Speaker 2: kinds of crazy stuff could be happening down there. So, hey,
- 9:23Speaker 2: Maduro goes to court today. The Venezuelan leader been in
- 9:28Speaker 2: prison since January. That's like three months he's been sitting there.
- 9:31Speaker 2: But he goes into court today. If you've been locked
- 9:33Speaker 2: in this dungeon prison for three months, that's like a
- 9:37Speaker 2: great vacation to be taken to court. You get to
- 9:40Speaker 2: ride out in a car, you get to see fresh
- 9:42Speaker 2: air and look out the window, and go to a courtroom.
- 9:44Speaker 2: They got a cafeteria. It's like it's like paradise after
- 9:48Speaker 2: you've been locked in a prison. So let's see what
- 9:51Speaker 2: happens at the end of the day. Facebook companies actually
- 9:55Speaker 2: called meta YouTube. They got a problem, are real serious problem.
- 10:01Speaker 2: So this lawsuit, the twenty year old claims that the
- 10:06Speaker 2: way they set up a Facebook and YouTube and these
- 10:10Speaker 2: sort of things, they designed this algorithm to get you addicted,
- 10:17Speaker 2: and that this twenty year old woman her life was
- 10:19Speaker 2: ruined because she came addicted to Facebook to Google's YouTube.
- 10:26Speaker 2: She went to court, they sued, and she won, and
- 10:30Speaker 2: Facebook was found liable for four point two million in damages. Google,
- 10:34Speaker 2: which is YouTube, found liable for one point eight million.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Now what about Snapchat, what about TikTok? Well, they settled
- 10:42Speaker 2: out of court, which also means millions of dollars. So
- 10:45Speaker 2: this woman's probably got to Muno's ten to fifteen million already.
- 10:49Speaker 2: But what does this mean. If she can get four
- 10:52Speaker 2: million from Facebook, that means everybody can get four million
- 10:54Speaker 2: from Facebook. They got hundreds of millions of users. This
- 10:58Speaker 2: could destroy the bottom line of the company. So they're
- 11:00Speaker 2: gonna have to appeal this, They're gonna have to win.
- 11:03Speaker 2: This Los Angeles jury found that this twenty year old
- 11:07Speaker 2: woman was harmed and she became dangerously obsessed at a
- 11:12Speaker 2: young age because the algorithms were deliberately built to be addictive. Now,
- 11:18Speaker 2: what would that mean, that you're dangerously obsessed with Facebook?
- 11:23Speaker 2: How dangerous could that be? I mean, I understand if
- 11:25Speaker 2: it's meth or cracker, but I'm dangerously addicted to Facebook.
- 11:30Speaker 2: What's the worst that would happen? It's sit there looking
- 11:32Speaker 2: at Facebook all day or YouTube? I would, Hey, I could,
- 11:35Speaker 2: I'll probably owe four million. I've become addicted to YouTube.
- 11:38Speaker 2: That's all I watch is YouTube, And I don't know
- 11:42Speaker 2: how dangerous is this algorithm? Like, whatever I watch, whatever
- 11:47Speaker 2: I type in I want to see. They figure all
- 11:50Speaker 2: this out, and then you know, every time you sign
- 11:52Speaker 2: on YouTube, it just used to be a big YouTube page.
- 11:54Speaker 2: Now it's a page with twenty seven possible things you
- 11:58Speaker 2: could go to on it. And the algorithm is really good.
- 12:01Speaker 2: It knows what I like. It knows what I like.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Sometimes I like to watch old Tonight Show Johnny Carson's,
- 12:07Speaker 2: so all of a sudden, all you'll see are these
- 12:09Speaker 2: very rare Johnny Carson clips, twenty or thirty of them
- 12:12Speaker 2: when you sign on her. I've been watching Breaking Bad
- 12:16Speaker 2: and then I looked at something on breaking back. Now
- 12:19Speaker 2: I see all these breaking bad things things I wouldn't
- 12:21Speaker 2: even have known about. Breaking bad outtakes breaking bad behind
- 12:25Speaker 2: the scenes, So it is. But is that wrong? I mean,
- 12:31Speaker 2: if you've realized this is what your customer really likes
- 12:34Speaker 2: and you tell them about it. They do that all
- 12:37Speaker 2: the time. You know, if you go to a store
- 12:39Speaker 2: and you buy something all the time, if you have
- 12:41Speaker 2: a really good salesperson, like I'm always buying this stuff,
- 12:45Speaker 2: when they get some new ones in, the salesperson will
- 12:47Speaker 2: call you, hey, we just got a new ship in them.
- 12:49Speaker 2: So I mean, are they getting you dangerously addicted? I
- 12:53Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know. You know, restaurants they don't
- 12:58Speaker 2: do this. Can you imagine restaurants they figure it out
- 13:00Speaker 2: if you're a regular customer, they figure out what you love,
- 13:02Speaker 2: and then every time you came in, they brought a
- 13:04Speaker 2: tray of a whole selection of it and waved it
- 13:06Speaker 2: under your nose. That's basically what Facebook and YouTube are doing.
- 13:10Speaker 2: But this will end up in the Supreme Court. It
- 13:13Speaker 2: is dangerously addictive, I guess. But a lot of things are.
- 13:17Speaker 2: What's that stupid game? That wordle remember that new York
- 13:20Speaker 2: Times wordle or that kind of stuff. Dangerously addictive. Video
- 13:25Speaker 2: games are dangerously addictive. I don't know, I don't know.
- 13:30Speaker 2: This is going to be a tough thing to figure out. Hey,
- 13:31Speaker 2: here's some good news.
- 13:33Speaker 3: You know.
- 13:34Speaker 2: You see all these polls, Kathy hokeles, she's twenty points
- 13:36Speaker 2: ahead of Bruce Blakeman, way ahead of Bruce Blakeman. This
- 13:39Speaker 2: is all these are, these public polls, these cheap college polls,
- 13:43Speaker 2: or these slanted media polls. They're all slanted, rigged. That's not,
- 13:49Speaker 2: you know, an opinion, that's a fact. You can actually
- 13:51Speaker 2: look in the metrics, and the metrics are all off.
- 13:55Speaker 2: They only sam the sample. It's only twenty three percent.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Republicans should be thirty eight percent. They're using the wrong demo.
- 14:01Speaker 2: They're not using likely voters, they're using adults, which means
- 14:05Speaker 2: they pick who they want. There's all these ways they
- 14:07Speaker 2: rig it. But the real polls, which cost a fortune,
- 14:11Speaker 2: the campaigns pay for those. The media is you know,
- 14:14Speaker 2: these media polls, it costs three thousand, four thousand bucks.
- 14:18Speaker 2: The real poles are like a million dollars a month.
- 14:21Speaker 2: There are a lot of money. But in the real
- 14:24Speaker 2: internal polling, apparently Hokal very upset. Bruce Blakeman is now
- 14:29Speaker 2: within single digits. That's from twenty points back. He's now
- 14:32Speaker 2: within single digits now only nine points behind. This is
- 14:37Speaker 2: in the real polls, the private polls, the real polls.
- 14:40Speaker 2: Frightening for Hockel because if he made up that much
- 14:43Speaker 2: ground that fast, that means victory for him. Now, when
- 14:49Speaker 2: he ran in Nasal County, very similar to New York
- 14:52Speaker 2: State demographically, and it's it's more Democrats than the Republicans,
- 14:56Speaker 2: and he started their twenty five points behind, but he
- 14:59Speaker 2: won both times. So he's catching up. The poll numbers
- 15:03Speaker 2: look great for him. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
