Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You're listening to the Mark Simone show. Well, hey, LaGuardia
- 0:10Speaker 1: open one runway clothes but otherwise open. I'm getting emails
- 0:16Speaker 1: from all kinds of people who have been through the airport.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Some had nightmare four five hour delays and some sailed
- 0:22Speaker 1: right through. With the TSA pre check. You know, you
- 0:26Speaker 1: can get that TSA pre check. It's a little bit
- 0:28Speaker 1: of work, but once you got that, it makes life easier.
- 0:31Speaker 1: I would imagine because of what's going on now, everybody
- 0:35Speaker 1: is thinking of getting that TSA pre check. There's a
- 0:38Speaker 1: couple of those services, but I would imagine their phones
- 0:41Speaker 1: are ringing off the hook right now as we speak. Hey,
- 0:45Speaker 1: a lot of flack. President Trump got over his tweet
- 0:51Speaker 1: his truth social post about Robert Muller. Muller dies and
- 0:57Speaker 1: Trump tweets out, Robert Muller has died. Good glad he's dead.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Now he can't hurt any more innocent people. Now. They
- 1:06Speaker 1: quoted Trump all over the fake news by saying that
- 1:09Speaker 1: he said Robert Muller's dead. Good glad he's dead. They
- 1:13Speaker 1: leave out the next part where he said, now he
- 1:16Speaker 1: won't be able to hurt more innocent people. And of
- 1:19Speaker 1: course if you're a Robert Muller and you're the guy
- 1:22Speaker 1: that tried to get Trump, and you try to wipe
- 1:25Speaker 1: out Trump, and you were the guy pushing the Russian collusion. Well,
- 1:28Speaker 1: of course, if you're fake news, you love this guy.
- 1:30Speaker 1: If you're a media democrat Trump hater, you love this guy.
- 1:34Speaker 1: So they did these endless pieces about how dare Trump
- 1:38Speaker 1: say that he's a war hero with a purple heart,
- 1:40Speaker 1: with a bronze star, a true public servant, a war hero.
- 1:44Speaker 1: But the truth of the matter is as distinguished as
- 1:49Speaker 1: he was in the first half of his life, and
- 1:51Speaker 1: he was a war hero. He went to Princeton and volunteered,
- 1:55Speaker 1: volunteered to go to war in Vietnam. Pretty good, and
- 2:00Speaker 1: he was a war hero, and he got a purple heart,
- 2:03Speaker 1: a couple of them, in a bronze star. But that
- 2:06Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can't become a bad guy later in
- 2:08Speaker 1: your life. We've had people who've gotten purple hearts and
- 2:11Speaker 1: bronze stars and went on to be murderers. It's happened, criminals.
- 2:15Speaker 1: It happens. The fact that you are a great war hero,
- 2:18Speaker 1: it's wonderful, but it doesn't give you a get out
- 2:21Speaker 1: of jail. Free card for the rest of your life.
- 2:23Speaker 1: And the fact is, in the last couple decades of
- 2:26Speaker 1: Muller's life he became a bad guy, a really bad guy,
- 2:29Speaker 1: in the last ten years of his life with that
- 2:31Speaker 1: Russian hoax, which he knew was a hoax, and he
- 2:35Speaker 1: brought into his group some of the most evil, corrupt, dirty,
- 2:41Speaker 1: dirty partisan prosecutors. You know, those Andrew Weisman type of
- 2:45Speaker 1: guys who have a history of just going after people,
- 2:49Speaker 1: smearing them, framing them, whatever they have to do. There's
- 2:52Speaker 1: a lot of those kind of guys, and Muller and
- 2:55Speaker 1: he's smarter than that. He let those people into his committee,
- 2:58Speaker 1: into his commission, and he had them running the investigation.
- 3:02Speaker 1: He had them preparing the report, and if he looked
- 3:05Speaker 1: at the final report, there was absolutely no Russian collusion.
- 3:10Speaker 1: And a bad guy would do it. Mullerd, a good
- 3:13Speaker 1: guy would say, would actually have said, you know, we
- 3:15Speaker 1: looked into this, there's nothing there. It's not true. Instead
- 3:19Speaker 1: of saying that, he said, well, we found no actionable evidence,
- 3:23Speaker 1: we found no legal ground. I mean, you just he's
- 3:26Speaker 1: a bad guy at the end, a really bad guy.
- 3:28Speaker 1: He not only should have told the truth, which is
- 3:31Speaker 1: we found nothing in fact, there was no Russian collusion
- 3:35Speaker 1: of any kind. There was absolutely nothing between Trump and Russia.
- 3:38Speaker 1: He should have said it, and he should have come
- 3:41Speaker 1: out and said, we investigated this, and it looks like
- 3:44Speaker 1: the Hillary Clinton campaign was behind this, and it was
- 3:47Speaker 1: maybe the dirtiest trick ever. It was just total dirty trick,
- 3:51Speaker 1: corruption from the Hillary Clinton campaign that launched this fake
- 3:55Speaker 1: Russia store. He should have said all that he didn't.
- 3:58Speaker 1: The fact that he didn't mean he just ruins his legacy. Now,
- 4:03Speaker 1: maybe Donald Trump should have explained it as I just
- 4:05Speaker 1: explained it, instead of just saying, good glad he's dead.
- 4:07Speaker 1: But that's not the Trump style. That's not the Trump style.
- 4:11Speaker 1: So hey, we just heard on the news President Trump
- 4:14Speaker 1: trying to stop a lot of these windmills. The problem
- 4:17Speaker 1: is it sounds good, you know. It's a typical Democratic
- 4:20Speaker 1: politician kind of thing, wind power, windmills. It's feel good stuff.
- 4:24Speaker 1: It sounds like getting rid of the evil fossil fuel
- 4:28Speaker 1: and just the windmills will give us power. It sounds great.
- 4:33Speaker 1: It doesn't work at all. Not only doesn't it work,
- 4:35Speaker 1: it drives up your electric costs by like three times.
- 4:41Speaker 1: A great example is Europe, much of Europe went to
- 4:43Speaker 1: wind power Germany and other countries for about a year,
- 4:47Speaker 1: and then they had to tear down all the windmills
- 4:49Speaker 1: because they found it doesn't work. There's not enough energy
- 4:52Speaker 1: coming from the costs are preposterous. There's plenty of times
- 4:55Speaker 1: of the year where there's no wind in the North
- 4:57Speaker 1: Atlantic and they had to tear down all the windmills.
- 5:00Speaker 1: So it's not like anybody didn't give it a chance.
- 5:03Speaker 1: It's really been tried and tested all over the world.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Wind power doesn't work. You could use it on one
- 5:10Speaker 1: little house or something with a little wind, it doesn't work.
- 5:14Speaker 1: And not only that, it's the most expensive energy in
- 5:17Speaker 1: the world. If your electric bills one hundred dollars with
- 5:19Speaker 1: wind power, it's four hundred dollars. You just can't use it.
- 5:23Speaker 1: So you got to get rid of all these windmills.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Not to mention, and here's the other part of it,
- 5:27Speaker 1: it does absolutely nothing to help with the climate problem.
- 5:32Speaker 1: It does absolutely nothing to help the environment. In fact,
- 5:36Speaker 1: the windmills themselves are massive environmental nightmare. You have to
- 5:42Speaker 1: tear up the ground underneath to put in a windmill
- 5:46Speaker 1: for like a mile in every direction. You got to
- 5:48Speaker 1: tear up the ground, poor concrete just to hold that windmill,
- 5:52Speaker 1: totally ruining the land it's on. Those blades are enormous,
- 5:55Speaker 1: you know, one blade is the size of the Washington Monument.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Takes to get rid of those blades. You have to
- 6:03Speaker 1: change them every year, so you'd have millions of blades
- 6:06Speaker 1: you'd have to dispose of. And it's the most awful
- 6:10Speaker 1: environmental nightmare getting rid of these big fiberglass blades. So
- 6:15Speaker 1: they're just awful. They don't produce anough electricity. The cost
- 6:18Speaker 1: of electricity is like four hundred percent more, so you
- 6:21Speaker 1: got to get rid of it. You know. The Democrats
- 6:23Speaker 1: are always the ones yelling about gasoline prices that look
- 6:26Speaker 1: what the president's doing to your pocketbook. Look what he's
- 6:28Speaker 1: doing to your budget with the gasoline prices. Meantime, everything
- 6:32Speaker 1: they do raises your electric bill about four hundred percent.
- 6:37Speaker 1: When they shut down Indian Point thanks to Andrew Cuomo,
- 6:40Speaker 1: shut down the nuclear plants, or put in all these
- 6:43Speaker 1: green scheme regulations, it doubles, triples, quadruples the cost of
- 6:48Speaker 1: your electric bill. And if you if you say, he says,
- 6:51Speaker 1: you know, my electric bill used to be like one
- 6:52Speaker 1: hundred and twenty dollars. How come it's three hundred and
- 6:54Speaker 1: eighty Now, that's because of all the crazy climate change regulations,
- 6:59Speaker 1: all the green scheme regulations that have been put in.
- 7:02Speaker 1: That's why it got to be so much. Hey, that
- 7:05Speaker 1: crazy mayor mom Donnie and that looney wife of his.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Just nobody, nobody ever really took a hard look at
- 7:15Speaker 1: that wife before voting for him. As bad as he is,
- 7:18Speaker 1: she appears to be completely nuts, running around with every
- 7:21Speaker 1: anti Semitic thing she can run around with. She also
- 7:25Speaker 1: has been she works as a professional illustrator, but she's
- 7:28Speaker 1: been doing it for the most awful anti Semitic, anti Israel,
- 7:33Speaker 1: evil sort of organizations. Just terrible. You're stuck with these
- 7:37Speaker 1: two for another So I was gonna say three and
- 7:41Speaker 1: a half years. It's more than that. It's like three
- 7:42Speaker 1: and three quarters of a year. But you'll get through it.
- 7:45Speaker 1: You know, this incredible activity in New York City right now.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Apartments are being sold like crazy, at the high end
- 7:52Speaker 1: that the contracts being signed or at record numbers. You
- 7:56Speaker 1: can't rent an apartment right now. Rentals are through the roof.
- 7:59Speaker 1: There's almost no ventry left. People are moving in like crazy,
- 8:03Speaker 1: and skyscrapers. Massive skyscrapers are being built. Look at fifty
- 8:08Speaker 1: second in Park there's like a eighty story skyscraper going
- 8:11Speaker 1: up there. Fifty eighth in Madison there's like a ninety
- 8:14Speaker 1: story skyscraper going up there. There's another one going up
- 8:17Speaker 1: forty fourth in Madison where the old Brooks Brothers is
- 8:19Speaker 1: huge skyscraper. They're all over the city, downtown, the village.
- 8:25Speaker 1: There's construction like crazy, building these massive skyscrapers. And if
- 8:29Speaker 1: you talk to these real estate guys, these you know,
- 8:32Speaker 1: the big big real estate companies, say wait, aren't you
- 8:35Speaker 1: worried about mom Donnie? What's going to happen in New York?
- 8:36Speaker 1: And they always say, you know, he's just a blip
- 8:40Speaker 1: on the raider. He's just a little blip in time.
- 8:42Speaker 1: He'll be gone soon. You know, when you do a skyscraper,
- 8:45Speaker 1: it's five six years of construction, usually five six years
- 8:48Speaker 1: of planning it, maybe more. It's a ten to fifteen
- 8:51Speaker 1: year projects. They don't worry about Mom Donnie. So you
- 8:53Speaker 1: got to think like that, it's just a blip. It's
- 8:55Speaker 1: just a little blip, don't worry about it. Hey, you know,
- 8:59Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk had a mentory. His name was Jeff Webb,
- 9:02Speaker 1: very very wealthy guy from Texas, Texas businessman. He mentored
- 9:06Speaker 1: a lot of people and he found a young Charlie Cook,
- 9:10Speaker 1: a Charlie Kirk at the age of twenty four, and
- 9:12Speaker 1: he thought he was looking at a future president, and
- 9:15Speaker 1: he helped get him started, helped guide him real visionary.
- 9:19Speaker 1: His name was Jeff Webb. He died. It was terrible
- 9:22Speaker 1: that he died, But I'm looking at why he died.
- 9:25Speaker 1: This is awful. He died in a pickleball accident. Hell
- 9:29Speaker 1: do you die in a pickleball accident? But it happens
- 9:33Speaker 1: some head injury. They don't really reveal what happened, serious
- 9:37Speaker 1: head injury. He was in the hospital and he died.
- 9:41Speaker 1: How many people you know died playing pickleball? But it
- 9:44Speaker 1: can't happen. There's another guy that died. This guy is
- 9:48Speaker 1: Ukrainian Leo or a Davinsky. He was worth four billion,
- 9:53Speaker 1: very private guy. He's the guy that started Only Fans
- 9:57Speaker 1: you know that OnlyFans porn site. He actually bought it.
- 10:01Speaker 1: It was already in existence, but it wasn't anything. It
- 10:03Speaker 1: wasn't much anything. He bought it and built it into
- 10:05Speaker 1: this multi billion dollar business, one of the biggest websites
- 10:08Speaker 1: in the world. Only Fans where anybody can do porn.
- 10:14Speaker 1: You open up, it's kind of like Twitter or sub
- 10:17Speaker 1: stack or Instagram whatever. You create your own site, you
- 10:20Speaker 1: do your own videos, you post it all and then
- 10:23Speaker 1: you post a little previews and if people want to
- 10:25Speaker 1: get the real thing, they got to get a subscription
- 10:28Speaker 1: to you. And you make a lot of money. And
- 10:31Speaker 1: there's a lot of hot, hot looking young women. I
- 10:34Speaker 1: guess older ones too, but it's mostly young women on
- 10:37Speaker 1: there that have become Only Fans stars. Now they're total amateurs.
- 10:42Speaker 1: They do their own videos, but they make a fortune.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Here's one woman in her twenties and yeah, she's actually
- 10:52Speaker 1: only twenty one. She'll only be doing this for a
- 10:53Speaker 1: few years. But she's really good looking. So she was
- 10:57Speaker 1: a waitress. She was struggling to pay the she couldn't
- 11:00Speaker 1: pay her bills. She got on Only Fans and really
- 11:05Speaker 1: took off. She became one of the most popular on
- 11:07Speaker 1: there in the first two years. Now, hold on to something.
- 11:12Speaker 1: In the first two years she made ninety five million
- 11:16Speaker 1: dollars on Only Only Fans. Now you might be saying, well,
- 11:21Speaker 1: who'd want to go on there and take the clothes
- 11:23Speaker 1: off and do porn and well, in the first two years,
- 11:26Speaker 1: she made ninety five million dollars, and she put out
- 11:31Speaker 1: a really touching statement to this owner who he died.
- 11:35Speaker 1: The owner of this thing just died. She said, he
- 11:38Speaker 1: changed my life. I have nothing but gratitude for him.
- 11:41Speaker 1: He built something that made me a millionaire. I was struggling,
- 11:44Speaker 1: he was, so it's going to continue. He actually tried
- 11:48Speaker 1: to sell the site not long ago. I guess he
- 11:52Speaker 1: knew he was pretty sick. He had cancer for a
- 11:54Speaker 1: long time, but he tried to. I think his price
- 11:56Speaker 1: was too I tried to sell it for eight billion.
- 11:59Speaker 1: It's more like two billion, three billion. But very reclusive
- 12:02Speaker 1: guy who's only forty three lived in Miami. Other news,
- 12:08Speaker 1: Bill Cosby. There was another one of these victims suing
- 12:12Speaker 1: him civil trial, civil court, and she won and the
- 12:16Speaker 1: court ordered Bill Cosby to pay nineteen million dollars in
- 12:21Speaker 1: damages to her. Cosby now saying he has no money,
- 12:24Speaker 1: that he's totally broke. Member he was in prison, and
- 12:26Speaker 1: there were other lawsuits like this that he settled and
- 12:29Speaker 1: he paid out millions. Hard to believe, isn't it? Out
- 12:33Speaker 1: of all the celebrities you ever thought would have a
- 12:35Speaker 1: problem like this Bill Cosby. And you remember when he
- 12:38Speaker 1: first came along, he was such a gentle, kind of thoughtful,
- 12:43Speaker 1: sort of clean cut sort of a guy. And then
- 12:46Speaker 1: as you watched his career develop and you found out
- 12:49Speaker 1: he used to be like a basketball coach or a
- 12:51Speaker 1: foot And then you found out he wanted to be
- 12:53Speaker 1: a teacher. And remember he went back to school. Even
- 12:55Speaker 1: as the biggest star in the world, he went back
- 12:57Speaker 1: to school in Massachusetts, got his doctorate of edge education,
- 13:01Speaker 1: was teaching. What a wonderful man. Then you find out
- 13:04Speaker 1: about this stuff. Never would have never in a million
- 13:08Speaker 1: years with you thought, that's the celebrities gonna end up
- 13:10Speaker 1: in prison, end up having to to settle these kind
- 13:15Speaker 1: of lawsuits. Hey, you know those espresso martinis. It's the
- 13:20Speaker 1: worst thing you can have. By the way, it's late
- 13:23Speaker 1: at night. The martini's not that healthy for you to
- 13:25Speaker 1: begin with. Now you're putting espresso into it. That's like
- 13:28Speaker 1: three cups of coffee. Sometimes people have two of them.
- 13:31Speaker 1: That's a lot of caffeine, that's a lot of alcohol.
- 13:33Speaker 1: It's the worst thing you can have. So and they're expensive.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Someace someplaces charge a fortune for them. And by the way,
- 13:39Speaker 1: be careful where you have your espresso martini. Now, if
- 13:42Speaker 1: it's a really fine place, they have an espresso machine
- 13:45Speaker 1: and they make fresh and put it in the martini.
- 13:49Speaker 1: But if it's a lot of other places and bars,
- 13:52Speaker 1: it's a martini and they just take yesterday's coffee and
- 13:55Speaker 1: throw it in there. So be careful where you order it.
- 13:57Speaker 1: But here's the Benjamin Steakhouse in Manhattan. It's very good
- 14:01Speaker 1: at Benjamin Steakhouse, Midtown, Manhattan. So they've rolled out the

- 14:20Speaker 1: dollar But it's going viral. It's all over Instagram. They'll
- 14:24Speaker 1: have a longer line for this than Laguardi Airport does.

- 14:31Speaker 1: It's got gold leaf on top. It's got Mozart dark
- 14:35Speaker 1: chocolate liqueur. It's got all kinds of names I can't pronounce.
- 14:39Speaker 1: It's steamed milk and orange bitters, delicately heated Grand Monnier,
- 14:43Speaker 1: Quintessence and Hennessy, Richard Kognak and I don't know what
- 14:47Speaker 1: the hell all of this is. You know what, Just
- 14:50Speaker 1: order a beer, save yourself a lot of trouble. Anyway,
- 14:53Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three to two,
