• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Now more marks alone.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I'm seventeen.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: W Well, hey, Mayor, mom, Donny moved into Gracy Mansion.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: He's actually there now. I don't know how much moving
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: it took. I mean, I wouldn't imagine. The guy has
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to move. He lived in a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: little apartment in an apartment building in Queen's. He wanted
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to stay there, believe it or not, in this apartment building,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: but there's a lot of security around him, Mayor, and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: they have to stop and question everybody coming in and
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: out of the building. Would just be impossible and too
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: disruptive in a normal, large sized apartment building. So he's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: moved into Gracie Mansion. Here he is yesterday.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: We are humbled to be the latest tenants of the
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: People's House, Gracie Mansion. This is a remarkable home with
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a remarkable history of belonging to the people of this
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: incredible city.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not a bad place. It's not as spectacular
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: as you think. It's nice. It's very old, very very old.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You walk in, there's a couple of little rooms, like
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a living room, a dem there's something I guess it's
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a ballroom. It's not that big. You
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: can put about fifty people in there. You go upstairs,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: there's a big bedroom that's the mayor's bedroom. Then there's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a couple of small bedrooms I guess for kids, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: not as big as you think. But it's got its
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: own grounds, and it's right on the water and in
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the summer it's beautiful out in the lawn there. And
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Mayor Adams lived there, of course, although I think a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: lot of the nights he was in New Jersey. He
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: has an apartment in New Jersey, you know well, and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: not supposed to know that the girlfriend has the apartment
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: in you but he stayed there a lot of nights.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Before that, it was who's before that, Bill de Blasio
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: he lived there, and remember he built the fence a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: little higher because apparently he was let's just say, herbing
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: up a lot of herbs there. Didn't want people to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: see what was going on back there. A lot of
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the police detail that was around him amediting myself, so
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you know, they had to get the herb smell out
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of their clothes a lot of the times if they
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: didn't know quite what to do about it. And then
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: before Deblasio, it was Mayor Bloomberg who did not live there.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: First mayor in our lifetime, not to live in Gracy
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Mansion because, as I say, it's not that big inside,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and it's very old. And Bloomberg has a beautiful house
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: on seventy ninth Street. It's actually two big townhouses cut
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: together into one enormous house. And he continued to live there.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: He would go to Gracie Mansion for events and for parties,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and he did spend a lot of money fixing up
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Gracy Mansion making it better. Before that, of course, Rudy Giuliani,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Rudy lived in Gracy Mansion until the last I think
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years of his was the member
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the wife. I guess he got kicked out of Gracie Mansion.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: He was living in an apartment with his friends there
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: on fifty seventh and second, while the first lady continued
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to live in the mansion. But it's a I mean,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it's a nice place to love it. It's secure, very secure.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So now you got protests going on all over the place,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and you got Mom Donnie, of course, he loves protesters.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: That language is wrong and it has no place here
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: in our city. And there is no place for the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: support for a terrorist organization, and that is something that
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I will always share with New Yorkers. It is a
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: part of my principles of politics, which is to actually
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: stand up for the humanity of all people.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: No, I don't know what he's talking about, but it
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: sounds good, and he talks very fast about the humanity
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: of all When you say the humanity of all people,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: but that sounds impressive. I don't know what Ally's talking about,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and of course he hates ICE.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: My guiding principle is to follow the law and the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: laws that we have here in New York City, especially
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: our sanctuary city policies. They prohibit coordination with ICE agents,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: for example, if they want to enter into a city
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: property without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. However,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: what it does permit is the coordination between city and
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: federal government on around one hundred and seventy crimes if
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: someone has been convicted of that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now, of course this is all nonsense. ICE is
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: enforcing the law. You can become a sanctuary city where
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you don't enforce the law, but legally it's very, very
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: very questionable. You got this big nurses strike. About fifteen
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: thousand nurses are on the strike. Now, if you're the mayor,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to get in there and try to settle it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to try to bring both sides together and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: see if you can work something out. And if you're
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the mayor, you got a lot of clout with these
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: big hospital executives and maybe you can you move them
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a little or get something. But instead, Mom, Donnie, being
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the socialist left wing kooko of a mayor, he's out
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: there on the picket line with the nurses.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: These executives are not having difficulty making ends mee. But
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: for too many of the fifteen thousand nys, the nurses
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: who are on strike, they are not able to make
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: their ends meet. They are not asking for a multimillion
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: dollar salary. What they are asking for is for their
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: pensions to be safeguarded, to be protected in their own workplace,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to receive the pay and the health benefits that they deserve.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's good, we like that. But sometimes salaries
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: do get a little out of control. You know, the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: whole hospital system is all screwed up. It makes no
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: sense at all. You know, you go in to a hospital,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: if you stayed at a hospital room, you get a
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: bill for like seven thousand a night for a hospital room,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a dumpy little hospital room with a linoleum floor. You know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: if you went and stayed in the Ritz Carlton in
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the Presidential suite, it's only two thousand a night. Why
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: would it be five times more in them in a hospital.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: But he really goes after these hospital executives.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: The CEO and president of Montefiori made more than sixteen
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: million dollars last year. D CEO of New York Presby
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: where we are today made twenty six million dollars last year.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: But for too many of the fifteen thousand knights and
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: nurses who are on strike, they are not able to
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: make their ends meet. They are not asking for a
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: multimillion dollar salary. What they are asking for is for
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: their pensions to be safeguarded, to be protected in their
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: own workplace, to receive the pay and the health benefits
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: that they deserve.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, it sounds good, He's right, But you know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: why would they pay the hospital executive sixteen million a year.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Why would a hospital executive get twenty million a year? Well, apparently,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: because they can. They can do things that make them
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: worth that they can turn around the finances, they can
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the fundraise, they can do all kinds of things for
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a hospital and make it very very successful. You know,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: we're talking about Jamie Diamond at JP Morgan Chase getting
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: seven hundred and seventy million last year. How most of
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that was his stock options. The stock went way up,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: but he with his leadership, made JP morgan Chase stock
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the biggest stock of twenty twenty five, who was up
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: like forty percent. It made the company go open value
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: like thirty four billions. So if you could, if you
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: could bring in thirty four billion for a company, it's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: not outrageous. They would pay a seven hundred and seventy
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: million to do that. So, and you know, you can't
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: just hate the head of the hospital. If you want,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you can go become the head of the hospital. You
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: can get sixteen million a year become the head of
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the hospital. You know, it's not you don't have to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: inherit this, you don't have to be born into it.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: In fact, who's the head of Northwall He just left.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: What's his name, Michael Dowling, great guy, he just retired.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I remember talking to him once about his background. He
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: came here from Ireland. He was an immigrant, came here
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: with no money. He worked as a longshoreman, and I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: forget the whole story, but somehow he got into the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: hospital world and then rose up and became the chairman
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: of Northwell and made a fortune. So you can do
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that too. You know, you can hate these billionaires or
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you can just become one of them. A lot of
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: these guys started a company in a garage with a
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: couple of bucks, and it became Amazon, or it became
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: something like that. But Mom, Donnie, you can never explain
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: this to him. He loves to be out there protesting.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: That language is wrong and has no place here in
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: our city. And there is no place for the support
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: for a terrorist organization.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what he's talking about there. I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: think we already played that. But Mom, Donnie, always yelling
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and screaming. And now the good news is he may
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: not actually about all the horrible things he wants to do.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: He may not actually get that much done. He's a
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: lot of talk. He's out there with the picket sign,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: he's out there campaigning, and it's mostly talk. He's put
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: together a massive press office, office of communications. So it
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: might be that it's more of a public relations thing
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: than actually doing anything. So, hey, you mentioned Kathy Hockle's
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: got her State of the State speech coming up, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: apparently she's gonna talk a lot about affordability. But I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: don't know how she does that. When she puts in
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: congestion pricing and makes it more expensive for anybody to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: drive to work, you might say, well, take mass transit, okay,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: But she just raised the price of the buses. She
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: just raised the price of the subway. So how do
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you raise the prices of anybody on everybody and then
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: talk about affordability. Hey, you know member MacArthur Park. The
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: song MacArthur Park Richard Harris Jimmy Webb wrote this great song,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: one of the best songs ever, MacArthur Park. Well, apparently
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: if you went there right now, you'd find out it's
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a total disaster. MacArthur Park is just filled with homeless drugs.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: It's an absolute mess. It's disgusting, it's decrepit. MacArthur's Park.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: It needs to be cleaned up at some point. Now.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: San Francisco has a new mayor. San Francisco became a
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: total disaster area, needles, feces in the street, homeless camps, crime, everything.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: The new mayor is slowly but surely trying to clean
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: that up. Let's see if he does. Meantime, billionaires are
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: leaving California like crazy. They want to put in this
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: five percent tax on billionaires. So you got Peter Teel,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: huge tech billionaire, leaving. You got Google co founder Larry
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Page leaving. The other guy, what's his name, Surge whatever
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: his name, is leaving. Some of them going to Texas,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: some of them going to Nevada, some of them going
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to Florida. Just to avoid this in California want to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: if you're a multi billionaire, they want to put a
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: five percent tax on you. In other words, just take
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: five percent, not of your income, but of everything you have,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: all your assets, just seese five percent of it. It's
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: absolutely crazy, but this is what they're trying to do.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: So a lot of them are leaving right now. They've
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: lost about seven eight billionaires. It's a big deal because
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a billionaire pays so much tax. If you take ten
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of these guys and they leave, you're losing like a
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: major chunk of revenue every year. Now California is saying
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the tax will be retroactive. Even if you leave, you
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: still owe it, but good luck trying to collect it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they're going to do that. They're
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: not only moving personally. A lot of these guys have corporations,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: lots of corporations. One of these billionaires has like fifteen corporations.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: One that runs is real estate, one that runs his yachts.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So all these corporations are reregistering out of state. So
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: when you do that, that's a lot of money lost
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: in fees. And all sorts of corporations pay all sorts
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: of taxes on fees, regulations, this sort of stuff. Hey,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I mentioned this new Frank Sinatra documentary. It's on Fox Nation.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: It's very, very good, incredible documentary on Frank Sinatra. It's
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: called Sinatra Echoes of an Icon. Not crazy about the title,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: but it's really good. So I'm talking to friends of
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: President Trump yesterday. They tell me he's been watching it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: He's watched it several times. He loved Frank Sinatra and
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: he loves this documentary. So if you haven't seen it yet,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: go to Fox Nation. Look at the Sinatra documentary. I'm
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: in it. A lot of people are in it. Fox
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Nation it's Fox's streaming service. You got to sign up
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: for it, but it's really really good. So a Bruce
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Blakeman I mentioned great inauguration yesterday out in Long Island.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I was there for that. It's the Cradle of Aviation museum.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: This is like it's on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard. It's very
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: impressive place. Thousand people there for Bruce Blakeman's second inauguration,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: powerful speech. You got many standing ovations and you're in
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: this big museum more like an enormous museum. And hanging
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: above you are all these planes, valuable planes, you know,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: from Charles Lindberg to air Force planes. Really impressive place.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: A lot of famous faces there, a lot of Long
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Island political figures, business figures, and a big dinner afterwards.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: It was great. Mio Posto that was the restaurant where
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: it was. Lots of great people. Zach Iridam, King of
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the Hamptons, was there, Sid Rosenberg, radio star and other
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: people there. If you check my Instagram you'll see a
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: picture of it. Hey, the Clintons were supposed to testify
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: yesterday about Jeffrey Epstein. Now you know Trump had very
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: little to do with Jeffrey Epstein. A million years ago.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: He knew him briefly and saw what he was all about,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and had him thrown out of mar A Lago, had
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: him banned from the club, cut him off, warned everybody
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to stay away from me. I remember in me a
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: million years ago. Stay away from this guy. And he
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: had nothing to do with Epstein. The Clintons were all
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: over Jeffrey Epstein. They were regular visitors. They were on
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: planes with them, flying all over the world, doing all
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: kinds of deals and stuff, very close to Jeffrey Epstein.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: So Congress is investigating James Comers, the chairman. They asked
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the Clintons to appear and answer questions. The Clintons refused.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: They did not show up for their testimony. That would
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: put them in contempt of Congress. Now remember, if you
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: don't show up, you refuse to show up, and you're
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: in contempt at Congress. You can go to prison. It
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: happened to Steve Bannon, it happened to Peter Navarro. Now
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they'll do. Chairman Comer said he
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: may begin contempt proceedings, contempt of Congress proceedings against the Clintons.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: This is Congress, not the White House. But you would
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: think with this Jeffrey Epstein stuff. If you had nothing
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: to hide, you would want to show up and clear
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: up everything. You would want to clear your name. But
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: refusing to answer any questions, refusing to testify, makes it
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: look all the more suspicious. So this is just beginning
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: with the Clintons and Epstein. It's not going to go
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: well for them. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next eight
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: hundred three to two one zero seven ten is the number?
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Get instant
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: access to Mark by setting a pre set in the
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app for his live show and his podcast. Now
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: back to the Mark Simone Show on WI. Hey, let's
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: take some calls. Let's go to John in Long Island. John,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I'm doing well. Mark, how are you doing today?
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Good?
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I have a It bothers me to think how much
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: money we waste in congressional hearings and Senate hearings and
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court reviewing things. How come with this women's fourth issue?
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: How come they don't just set up a vote, Go
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: to the NCAA, have all the women secure email vote
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: and see how they feel, rather than having a bunch
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: of geriatrics that are just trying to get votes, trying
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: to make decisions that affect millions of women.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Well, it's just people playing politics with it. Listen, it's
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: just simple common sense. You don't have guys playing in
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: women's sports. It's absolutely ridiculous. I mean, I was in
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: high school. I played football. I thought I'd be great.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: But you go out there in the field and you
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: may be good, but then all of a sudden, these
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: guys much bigger than you just jump on you and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: tackle you, and it's tough. If I could have gone
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: down there and played on the against the women, I
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: would have done much better. I would have been Tom Brady.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I would have crushed them all. But it's ridiculous. It's
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: absolutely ludicrous men playing in women's sports. Let's go to
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Dennis in Connecticut. Dennis, how you doing fine.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm an old Saturday listener.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Well whatever that is.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I have cousins and I have graduated from the
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: nursing schools when they were in hospitals, and that when
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: they started making nurses go to college, that's when the
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: shortage happened.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Well, you have to go to college to be a nurse, now, yes, oh, yes,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: you have.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Well to get a nursing degree. You have to have
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: a college nursing degree. You don't get taught training the
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: hospital anymore. You have them for i'd say thirty maybe
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: more years.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Well, most nurses are pretty good. It is a noble occupation.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Tim and the Conger's in New York. Tim,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Good? Good? How are you?
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: I just had a quick question, you know, like, say,
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: for example, you don't have a cell phone. This is
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: regarding the entrance the fair to get into the subway.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: I don't go to the I don't go to the
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: city much. I'm an older guy. I don't go to
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: the city much at all anymore. But if you don't
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: have a cell phone, how can you just pass a
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: credit card or something?
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: If you don't have a cell phone? Who on earth
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: would that be?
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: I don't have a cell phone?
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: What why?
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah? Well, I get confused. I don't I'm an older guy.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: I threw it. I threw it down the stairs that broke.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: I got so.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I know one woman, a friend of mine, one woman
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: who has no cell phone, never has. I don't know why.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: She's just against them.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: I've had them, but I get so frustrated with them
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: because like, I can't get it out of airplane mode.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: I I just I threw it down the stairs. It broke.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: I said, the hell with it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Get a phone. You could be on Instagram. You could
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: be on TikTok. You can see porn wherever you want.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: To Get a phone.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go see porn anytime I want.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: It might be good for you. Get a phone. You
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: could be on Instagram, you could be on all that stuff.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: You can get all those apps. It's it's it's good
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: for you. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent. How
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, to be previous, call it. They make now cell
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: phones for seniors where they don't have all the bells
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: and whistles they have. You could call your relatives. They
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: have a phone backed memory, so forth and so forth.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: You mean, like like an uncle junior flip phone.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but they sell them and you could get text
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: messages on them. There. It's not an iPhone, but you
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: could for emergency purposes if you have to call people
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: in an emergency. Yeah, Mark, What I want her to
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: talk about is I told Chris yesterday, I'm about to
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: listen to Buck and Clay and all of a sudden,
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: I'm smelling weed and I live in a brown stone.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: I'm smelling weed at my house, and say, what the
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: dollar is going on here? I look out the window
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: and Kathy Hoko and Andrew Cuomo should have thought about
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: this in advance. They have no foresight. On my stupid
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Indian entrance to my building, there are four teenagers from
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: the local junior high school lighting up these spliffs that
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: would have made Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir of the
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Grateful Dead proud. They look like cigars. So I go
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: out there and I said, all right, guys, get off
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: the stoop, and one of the guys looks me and
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: starts bad mouthing me. After a couple of choice words
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: and gestures, and little did he know across the street
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: and on the right side of me, about twenty feet
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: away with all my friends. I you know. So after
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: a couple of choice words, these kids left. But now
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: they were on their lunch break. They're gonna go back
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: to school, all stoned out and everything. And now the
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: marijuana that these kids are buying from these pot shops,
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: it's much more potland like. Stoop from South Carolina said,
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: and they're probably like getting their older brother or a
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: cousin or somebody who's about to go in the weed
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: shop and they give them money and they say, gets
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: up for us too. I never figured in this South
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: East bozos, it's fourteen and fifteen years old yesterday out
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: of dear birds and given me lip and what's the
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: next thing? I gotta go to jail?
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, you know, the nineteen eighties marijuana was
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: totally different from today's weed.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: Is much like twenty three thc something.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: This suite much much more powerful, Vincent, great call, thanks
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: for calling. Hey. When we come back, the brilliant columnist
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Liz Peak will be with us next on seven ten Wry.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Still March The Long Show on sevent ten wr.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Well, Liz Peak, the great columnist. You can read her
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: columns foxnews dot com. You'll see her all over television.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: And make sure you go to our website. There's great
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: stories there every day. It's lizpeak dot com. Great news
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and analysis. Go to lizpeak dot com. Lizpeak, how you doing.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: I'm great? Thank you for having me.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Hey. So these the democrats, the liberals, the media, they're
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: so furious at President Trump or Venezuela over Iran over
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: is one of the reasons they're so mad at him
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: is foreign adventure seems to be paying off, it seems
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: to be working.
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: When you agree, yeah, I mean I think, you know,
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: I think that you could really describe this as a
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: winning streak mark. You know, to have Democrats come out
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: mourning the imprisonment of Nikola Maduro is so preposterous and
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: so ridiculous, particularly in light of the fact we have
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: so many clips of Democrats across the spectrum calling for
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: the jailing of Maduro and chastising Donald Trump for not
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: having been more aggressive with the Maduro regime. And then,
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: you know, and of course Joe Biden increasing the bounty
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: on Maduro information leading to the rest of Maduro to
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: twenty five million dollars, and then it happens. I mean,
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: the funniest thing would be it they have to pay
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: Donald Trump for actually paying out, for actually following through
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: and jailing the guy. I mean, it's ridiculous. And Iran,
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: of course a very different situation. Iran, in my view,
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: is a situation where Donald Trump can take a lot
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: of credit for the fact that the Mullahs are in retreat,
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: they're on the defensive, they have obviously now are confronting
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: an enormous uprising of the people of Iran who know
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: that there is freedom around the quarter and they're tired
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: of the theocracy. They're really tired of the Iatolas spending
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: billions of dollars every year funding proxies like Hesblah and
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: Hamas and basically ignoring the needs of their citizens. The
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: economy is in collapse, and you got to say, Donald
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: Trump in his first term put extremely strict sanctions on
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: Iranian oil exports. Exports dropped about half a million barrels
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: a day. Then Biden came in took his foot off
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: the break exports surge. Biden managed to also fund the
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: Iranian regime with almost ten billion dollars of moneies that
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: had been sequestered in effect from the regime. It's really
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: it was a horrible turnaround on a successful foreign policy
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: that was putting Iran on the defensive. And remember the
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: money that goes to the Iranian the Iranian government does
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: not help the people of Iran. It basically goes to Hesbala,
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: It goes to the UTIs who are attacking navy vessels
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: and commercial shipping. These are bad guys and all of
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: the money that Biden sort of stood by and allowed
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: to flow to Iran. It ended up many in many instances,
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: attacking Americans. So Trump has been steadfast and his resolution
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: to basically stand up against the mullahs bombing there. Obviously
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: bombing the nuclear facilities was a big part of that
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: encourage ching Israel to attack Iran and basically then supporting
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: Israel's defense against anerating and retaliation. It's a long history
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: and Trump should be pretty proud of having brought us
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: to this point. Will it mean that the iotola flees
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: to Moscow? One can only hope. I have no idea
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: if that's going to happen or not.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Well, you can be pretty sure in the next weeks,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: maybe months, Yeah, aatola has gone. Iran could go back
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: to what it used to be, a peaceful democracy, of
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: flourishing country. And isn't it usually Iran that stirs up
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: much of the trouble that we have in the Mid East?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Imagine no question.
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: And by the way, I'll tell you who is sharing,
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: although they have to do it somewhat surreptitiously. Is the
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: golf Arab countries After we bombed the nuclear facilities. Everyone
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: they made sort of polite utterances about how this was
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: an attack on a sovereign nation, blah blah blah. You
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: didn't see any real retaliation or anything from the Gulf
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: aerob countries because they want to do business with the
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: rest of the world, and Iran attacks their interests as
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: much as they attack American interests. They don't chant depth
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: to Saudi Arabia. But you can be you know, you
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: know pretty well that that's sort of one step beyond
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: behind the scenes, and that that rivalry is equally malicious
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: in terms of Middle East peace, which you know, we
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: are making progress in the Middle East, but Iran is
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: a bad actor in the region.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: There's just no question about it.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he used the word preposterous. It's a great way
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: to describe a lot of the left wing movement right now,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: like thinking it's okay to run over ice officers, or
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: even to just drive your car into a motorcative law
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: enforcement and pull sideways and box them in in the street.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Who would have the nerve to do that.
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: I don't understand that, honestly, Mark, I think that the
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: left has sort of lost their marbles totally. Imagine, after all,
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: this is law enforcement. I think it was the Chicago
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: PD head who said, look, if you go after law enforcement,
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: you're asking for trouble. And whether it's an ICE agent
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: or an FBI agent or a local cop, you're not
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: allowed to do that. They've got guns and you don't.
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: And the presumption is they have guns because they have authority.
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: They it's so crazy because what is ICE doing. They
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: are removing from our country people in the country illegally
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: who were also criminals. And yes, when they do a
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: big sweep sometimes they get criminals, and they also pick
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: up people whose only transgression is that they're in the
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: country illegally. It wasn't that long ago, Mark that Obama
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: and Hillary Clinton and other people were saying, if they're
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: here illegally, they've broken the law, they need to go home.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: What happened to that idea that you're either legal or illegal.
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: The Democrats in the last several years, because of Donald Trump,
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: because he has been strong on this issue, they have
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: now completely eliminated and erased the difference between legal and
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: illegal immigration. If you think that someone in the country
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: illegally should be deported, you're a racist, you're a Nazi,
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: and you don't like immigrants. None of that is true.
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: Republicans are pro immigration. Republicans understand that immigrants are important
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: for our country. But number one, let's fix our immigration
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: system so it actually benefits the United States. Let's make
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: it a merit based system and get rid of this
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: horrendous diversity lottery and a lot of the other ELM.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Do we lose her?
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: Hello?
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I think we did. Let's see if we can get
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Liz Peaked back. She vanished there, we'll find her. But
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: her news site is very good every day lizpeak dot Com.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: A lot of good stories, a lot of good information there.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Do we have her?
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: No?
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe the phone just went dead. Now we'll find her. Hey,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: don't forget Buck and Clay coming up at noon today.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Excellent show every day at noon. And then of course
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: you got Sean Hannity to radio show in the world.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Then you got Jesse Kelly at six, you got I
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Love this new show. I was listening to her last night.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: You got Jimmy Fayla every night at nine. Do we
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: have a Liz Peak back? We got her? Liz Peak.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: No?
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: We don't ever All right, little tech, it may not
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: be the phone, it may not be heard. Maybe for
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: some reason the phone's not coming up on the on
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the air here, technical problems. All right, Well, we're pretty
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: much out of time anyway. But what you should do
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: is go to lizpeak dot com. Her website is very good.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of stories there, every day news analysis
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: and her columns, really good stuff. Go to lizpeak dot com.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: We'll wrap things up in a moment. On seven to
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: ten WR.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Now more marks alone on seventen wor.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, if you think I'll move to Florida
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: and I won't have to pay any New York State
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: tax anymore, it's not always that simple.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Here's a couple to move to Naples. They bought a
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: million dollar condo there, They joined a country club or
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: two in Naples, they got a fishing hunting license in Naples.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: They moved to Florida. But New York State is coming
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: after them. You know, there's this tax panel that decides
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: if you really left New York. And they're billing this
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: couple sixty thousand dollars because they're saying, well, they kept
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a country club membership here in New York, and they
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: have a doctor here in New York, and they you know,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: if you have any ties to New York. This tax
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: panel will come after you. Now you could go to
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: court and fight this, but before you know it, you
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: spent sixty thousand legal fees trying to fight this. So
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: it's not that easy. He just moved to Florida and
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: not paying a New York tax.
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Actually, even all these zillionaires that moved down there, they
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: got a list they pass around to each other of
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: about two hundred things you have to do. You can't
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: just move to Florida, change your legal address by a place.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: All these things you have to do. And if you
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: keep coming back here for anything, to go to a
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: doctor or do something like that, they'll claim you still
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: have ties here. And it's a pain in the neck.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: That's why I remember Rush Limbaugh moved to Florida, and
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: he was always a target for these democrats of New York.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: They would always come after him. He got to the
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: point where he just would not set foot in New York. Ever,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: wouldn't set foot in New York. Well, once a while,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: we needed him to do something for us. He had
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: to come to an event of our something. So he
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: would land in New Jersey, drive into New York, go
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: to the event for one hour and then rush back
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: to New Jersey, so you'd only be in New York
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: two hours a year or something like that. But it's
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: not that easy to get out of this New York text.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Hey we're out of time. You know I'm here everyday
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: ten to noon, or you could listen anytime you want.
