  Speaker 1: Seven tors Mark Simone show continues. Now, well, hey, welcome
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to our number two. We got a lot to get
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to this hour. So, hey, this is just breaking. You know,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: this redistricting is taking place in state after state where
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: they redraw the congressional districts to get rid of Republican
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: districts or it's all terrible stuff. It's just totally unethical.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: You know, the congressional districts. If an area is Republican,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: it's republican, but they'll redraw the district in this weird
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: snake pattern just to eliminate there. But so they've done
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: it in the state after state. But in Louisiana they
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: tried to do it and the Supreme Court just shot
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it down, ruling it unconstitutional unethical. So this is a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: big victory for the GOP, but it could also set
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a precedent for all this crazy re districting. So it
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: just happened. We'll keep an eye on that. The we're
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: talking about the devilwaars Prada, Part two, the sequel is
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: this Friday. Roger Friedman on Last Hour reporting it's not
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: that good. You're going to see a huge publicity blitz
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: all this week for the Devilwaar's product too, but apparently
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: they've really toned it down. So and he reports it's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: not only not good, but there's no screenings. You know, normally,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: all the critics, all the people in the media, we
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: all get invited to private screenings all day and night.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Anytime you want to see it, you go to a
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: private screening. There's the big premiere, there's all that stuff.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: And apparently they've canceled all the screenings. Now that's usually
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: because a movie stinks and it's going to get bad reviews,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: so they won't let anybody see it before it opens
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: because they know where it'll get out. It's thanks. So
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: apparently it's not great. As I mentioned before, I never
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: saw the Devilwaar's product. I just never saw it. So
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I went back and I watched it over the week,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: just to see in the MARYL. Streep character. Now, I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: guess to most people, this is a horrible woman. They
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: can't believe the way she talks to people. They can't
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: believe whey she treats people. They can't believe the way
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: she'd bed for us in the media. Me Roger said
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the same thing. We've worked for a million people like that.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: We've worked for people ten times worse than that. So
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that's the way a lot of people are in the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: media world. That's the way a lot of agents are.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: That's the way a lot of TV executives are, radio
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: executives are, some not so much. But in the television
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: broadcasting world of entertainment, yeah, there's plenty of people worse
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: than her, much worse. Now, look at the correspondence dinner.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: We just heard the story on the news, the shooting,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the four shots are fired, all hell breaks loose, the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Secret Service in the room, those guys in combat gear
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: with big long rifles pointing in the crowd. People are fleeing,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: hiding under tables, And there was this video of this
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: guy who didn't flinch. He kept eating his salad. He
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: didn't get under the table, he didn't even stop eating.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: In fact, everybody left, he's eating their stuff. So they
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: finally figured out who the guy is, and sure enough,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: just like I was just telling you, he's an agent.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: He's a big Hollywood agent. And he said, eh, I'm
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: used to I'm used to sirens, I'm used to police
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: stuff didn't bother me. I was hungry, I wanted to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: finish eating I'm not getting under a table. But that's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you see that in the media with a lot of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: very tough, cold people. Then there's that other famous video.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I don't think they've identified her yet, the woman who
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in the middle of all this is running around stealing
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the champagne bottles off the table, sticking them in her purse.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: What else. Oh, speaking of which, the shooter, Cole Allen,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: apparently was taking smiling selfies of himself before the shooting.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: He was up in his hotel room. He was on
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the tenth floor taking selfies of himself smiling everybody, I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: don't care what you do. He taking selfies for Instagram
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: or something. And apparently he walked down the stairs. He
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: didn't get in the elevator to come down to the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: where the ballroom is or where the lobby is. He
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: walked down with the guns and everything came down ten
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: flights of stairs. Now I would imagine that he's figuring
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the surveillance cameras in the elevators, they'd see the guns.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Although he was wearing a long coat over the guns
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and came down the ten flights. It's just you're going
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to be less detected in a back stairwell than in
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: an elevator and not likely to run into anybody in
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the stairwell. So he came down wearing a long trench
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: coat with the guns underneath, the rifle underneath. And then
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: he found a little room just off the lobby, just
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a little alcove, a little room where it was used
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to store bar carts and things like that, and it
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: was not guarded by the Secret Service. As much as
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: they were all over the lobby, they didn't guard certain areas.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: There were a couple of holding rooms they weren't guarding,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and there was this little room where they stored the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: bar cards. So he went in there to take off
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: his trench coat and bring out the guns. Now, as
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: far as mistakes the Secret Service made, well, there's different
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: types of Secret Service. There's the uniform Secret Service. You know,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: there's about seven thousand people in the Secret Service. But
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: there's the uniform guys that's like the lower tier. Those
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: are the ones you see in uniform all over the lobby.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Then there's the guys in the suits and ties with
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the earphones. That's the PPD, the Presidential Protection Division. Those
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: are much higher level guys. Those are the ones all
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: around the president. And then there's the caat the counter
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: assault team. Those are the guys in the combat gear,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the helmets, the big long rifles. So the outside the perimeter,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: that was the uniform guys. And when they look back
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: at mistakes, there were a bunch they were not Again,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: they didn't check all the they weren't guarding all these
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: little rooms alcohols. The other thing is it looked like
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: about nine o'clock they were getting lazy. They were dismantling
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the metal detectors. The fare is just beginning. Why would
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you shut this stuff down? Start taking down the equipment,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And you could see they were all not paying attention.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: They were all gossiping, talking on the side there. And
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: then the other thing they're looking at is as you
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: came down the long corridor to get to this checkpoint,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it was a straight line all the way. You're not
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: supposed to do that. You're supposed to make it a zigzag,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Like if you're coming to a military base, the road
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that goes right to the front of the military base
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: is always zigzagged. That way. You can't get up any
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: speed because you have to keep turning. Same thing with
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: coming down this corridor to get to the checkpoint, to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: get into the ballroom. It should have been set up
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: with fences, so you have to turn this way and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: then this way and that way. When you have to zigzag,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you can't run and get up all that speed that
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the guy got up. So that's the other mistake. They'll
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: keep looking at this and they'll make more corrections to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: all of this stuff. Hey, Obama getting a lot of flack.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: President Obama, who's been kind of under the radar for
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a while, and when he first left he had his book,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: his Netflix thing, and then all that kind of dried up.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's been a it's been five years, you know,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: more than that, it's been Trump, Biden's been nine years,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: ten years. So it goes away after a while. He's
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: trying to come back, trying to get visible again, trying
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to get relevant again, so you know, and he's starting
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: a production company. He's trying to get a lot of
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: attention for himself. So right after the shooting, the White
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: House correspondents to him. He puts out this ridiculous tweet saying,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: we don't know the motive yet for the shooting. Well,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of course he knew the motive for the shooting. The
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: shooter wrote out his motive in great detail and published
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: a Man of Festo. He wrote it out in detail.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Here it is, here's my motive. So for Obama to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: write that stupid tweet, well, we don't know the motive
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of the shooter. And a lot of people are pointing
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: out that was a big mistake on his part because
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it reminded people. It's reminding people of the stuff they
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: didn't like about him. You know, he looks great, he's
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a good talker, he's in a beautiful suit, he looks,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: you know, very impressive up there. But outside of that,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: he's a hell of a liar. He never gets done
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: anything like he claims he's going to do. He does
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: just the opposite. You know, he was supposed to be
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the unit or the healer. He did more to divide
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the country racially, class warfare. I mean so, and you
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: think he looks like this noble sort of a guy,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: but he's the biggest liar. And when he put out
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that tweet, it just reminded people of how blatantly he
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: can lie at times. Hey, let's get that, Jimmy Kimmel.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So you might have seen that the FCC is looking
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: at ABC talking about looking at their licenses. Now, this
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: was apparently something that was going on for a while
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: about diversity hiring at ABC. I can't imagine ABC not
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: having a lot of diversity hiring, but apparently they we're
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: looking at that now. They may have ramped it up
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: because of the Kimmel thing, from what we hear inside
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: sources at ABC. This is not confirmed, but inside sources
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: say they plan to absolutely stand by Kimmel. He doesn't
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: have much left on his contract, so firing him may
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: cause more uproar than they want. But I say it's
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: back to usual. They're moving on. Well, we'll see. Kimmel
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: is doubling down on the whole thing. You know, they
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: made the joke about Milania looks like an expectant widow.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: In other words, your husband's gonna die at any moment. Now,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: he claimed when he did it, we claim the next day.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: That's a roast joke. It's done it all the time.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: It's just a standard roast joke. It has nothing to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: do with being assassination. It just means you're old and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: your your your wife is younger, she's going to be
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a widow. Wow. Yeah, it was done in a lot
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of roasts, but it was usually a much older looking guy.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: It was always. They used to do it about Abe
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Vigoda all the time. Remember Abe Bagoda. They were every
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: great friars. Russ would bring Abe Bagoda onto the day.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: It's not because he was so exciting, they just needed
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: him because everybody wanted to do jokes. They'd say, ladies
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, Abe Pagoda and his widow, and everybody would laugh.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: It doesn't work with Trump though. It's not because he
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't look like he's about to go anywhere. And uh,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: well here's Kimmel last night. Now. Now, apparently when Trump
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: President Trump was speaking at the ceremony with the King,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: he talked about how long the queen was married, and
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: he made a joke about sixty three years. Well, I'll
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: never be able to be married that long to Milaney.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: In other words, we're too old. But she's fifty seven,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: so obviously she's really not going to live another sixty
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: three years. So it's not about his age, it's just
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: in general. But so Kimmel used that. He said, look,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: this he's making a joke about his age. Why can't
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I do it? They were married for sixty three years,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and excuse me if you don't mind. That's a record
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: we won't be able to match Darling, So just not
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: going to work out that way. Wait a minute, did
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: he just make a joke about his death? Not really,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: He made a joke that he doesn't have sixty three
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: years to go. He didn't make a joke about he'll
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: be dying pretty soon. It's different, It's really different. Kimmel's
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: joke was you look like an expectant widow, and noother
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: was expecting him to die at any moment, which nobody was,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: so Kimmel's standing by that joke. Only Donald Trump would
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: demand I be fired for making a joke about his
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: old age, and then a day later go out and
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: make a joke about his own. But you know, when
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Kimmel made that joke about you look like an expectant widow,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: it was a joke about a guy who had just
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: gotten through three assassination attempts, and the next day the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: fourth assassination attempt came. You had, Butler, You had the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: guy on the golf course trying it with the rifle,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: trying to shoot him. And I'm also counting the guy,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: remember the guy that charged the gate at mar A
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Lago that had a bomb on him. So that's three
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: assassination attempts. The fourth one this weekend. So now, I mean,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the only good thing about this Kimmel situation, he's not
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: going to be around much longer. He's going off the air.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: They wouldn't give him a new contract. Instead, they gave
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: him an extension, which means we don't really want to
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: sign it in a new contract. Hey, there was a
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: great moment yesterday involving nine to eleven at one Police Plaza.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: They've created a beautiful memorial to the cops and men
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and women that lost their lives on nine to eleven.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: It's a beautiful memorial. It had to be funded privately,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: and Mayor Mom Donnie came for the ceremony. Well, the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: guy he's been the targeting, torturing, trying to demonize Ken Griffin,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the billionaire. Remember he did the video outside Ken Griffin's
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: house trying to ridicule him. Well, Ken Griffin in real
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: life pays a hell of a lot of taxes. He's
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: maybe the biggest taxpayer in New York. And on top
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: of that, he doesn't even live here. He lives in Florida.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: He doesn't even live here, and here in New York.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: He gave seven hundred million to charities. That's pretty generous
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: in a place that you don't even live. It's not
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: his home state. He lived in Chicago most and then
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: he moved to Florida, not a New Yorker. He still
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: gave seven hundred million to New York charities. And one
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of the things he heavily donated to was that beautiful memorial.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: So when the mayor was doing the ceremony, he had
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to actually thank Ken Griffin. I also want to thank
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Ken Griffin for funding a memorial wall, which will open
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: later this year. Yeah, so he had to acknowledge Ken Griffin,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: one of the most generous guys in the world. That
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: memorial is actually done by the New York City Police Foundation,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: which is one of the great charities in New York.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: You want to give to a great charity, Police Athletic League,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: one of the very best children's charities, and another great
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: one is the New York City Police Foundation. Susan Bernbaum
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: runs that. But they do so much great work and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: they raise money to help the cops with whatever they
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: need and take care of them, and then they do
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: things like this memorial. So it's a great great charity. Hey,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: this is pretty good news. You know, we got the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: straits of Hormose closed and President Trump signing an extension
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: of the blockade. Because as lawn as it's closed, Iran
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: is broke. They have no economy. Their whole economy runs
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: through the straight of horm Moose. As long as it's
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: shut their economy is shut down. So that's good. Now.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: It could cause us a little increase in oil, but
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: we'll get through that now. The other interesting development is
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the United Arab Emirates has announced they're going to leave OPEK.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: So besides getting rid of the awful terrorist government Iran,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: we may be breaking up OPEC, which is good. OPEK
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: is a cartel that would deliberately drive up the price
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: of oil and play games with oil prices. So this
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: is the first break in OPEC. United Arab Emirates is leaving.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: They don't want to be a part of this cartel.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: They produce about five million barrels a day, that's big,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: So they said they don't want to be collaborating, unrestricting
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: supply and deliberately driving prices up, and they were attacked
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: by Iran and all this. They just don't want to
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: be a part of anymore. So if we can break
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: up OPAK, that'd be another another great result from what
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: we're doing in Iran. Hey, we'll take some calls next.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the number. Well, by the way, the ballroom. You know,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: after the shooting, everybody' say you got to have the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: ballroom now. And as much as they're trying to block it,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: you know, left wing lawsuits, with these left wing judges
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: blocking the ballroom, Congress now taken action. Look, they're going
• 16:12
