Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Fly from midtown Manhattan. Here comes the Mark Simone Show
- 0:05Speaker 1: on seven ten wo on nay. It's Saint Patrick's Day.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Today it's the Irish super Bowl. Now normally here at iHeart,
- 0:16Speaker 1: you're going way down there at that end. We got
- 0:17Speaker 1: buffets everywhere, the greatest food except Saint Patrick's Day. It's
- 0:24Speaker 1: enough with the soda bread and there's nothing good to
- 0:27Speaker 1: eat down there today. So, but what's a wonderful day
- 0:30Speaker 1: in New York. Don't drive into Manhattan today. Saint Patrick's
- 0:33Speaker 1: Day parade takes place starting about eleven, goes to about
- 0:37Speaker 1: three or four, and it's just a traffic nightmare. So
- 0:40Speaker 1: stay out of Manhattan if you're driving. Hey, three days
- 0:44Speaker 1: until spring. Spring begins Friday, actually eleven forty nine Thursday night,
- 0:51Speaker 1: so Friday will be the first day of spring. That's
- 0:54Speaker 1: great news. Now a lot to get to today. We'll
- 0:57Speaker 1: get to Iran, a lot is developed, we'll get to Cuba,
- 1:00Speaker 1: a lot is about to develop. We'll get to Saint
- 1:03Speaker 1: Patrick's Day. We'll get to the Democrats their latest craziest
- 1:06Speaker 1: nonsense they're proposing in the legislature. And Tom Holman's got
- 1:11Speaker 1: a great idea. We'll get to that coming up Saint
- 1:15Speaker 1: Patrick's date breakfast today. That's a big tradition, Gracie Mansion.
- 1:19Speaker 1: The mayor, the mayor of course, making a fool out
- 1:23Speaker 1: of himself this breakfast. You know, the mayor has to
- 1:29Speaker 1: I mean, it's not funny. He's got to do something
- 1:31Speaker 1: about the anti Semitism problem. He can't keep it under control.
- 1:35Speaker 1: He can't stop with the anti Semitism. It's like deep
- 1:38Speaker 1: inside him and his wife is just as bad. But
- 1:41Speaker 1: speaking to the Irish former Irish president, and this is
- 1:45Speaker 1: the Saint Patrick's day breakfast starts talking about the genocide
- 1:49Speaker 1: in Palestine, the genocide that took place, and everybody just
- 1:55Speaker 1: looking at each other. They can't believe. He just can't
- 1:58Speaker 1: control this nonsense that comes out of his mouth. So
- 2:02Speaker 1: here's the good news. As far as Iran, Chuck Schumer
- 2:06Speaker 1: would call it the endless war, it's day thirteen. Ukraine
- 2:11Speaker 1: is fine with him. That's year five. That's not endless,
- 2:14Speaker 1: but day thirteen of this this is the endless war.
- 2:17Speaker 1: But we took out last night, well we didn't do it,
- 2:20Speaker 1: actually Israel did it. We took out two top leaders,
- 2:23Speaker 1: the current leader of Iran, which was not the Iatola's son.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Apparently he is either badly, badly wounded or dead. Nobody's
- 2:32Speaker 1: sure about that, but he hasn't been leading it anyway.
- 2:35Speaker 1: But the real leader of Iran was and the biggest enemy,
- 2:40Speaker 1: the United States was taken out, blown up, a bomb,
- 2:43Speaker 1: hitting him right on the head. That was Israel that
- 2:45Speaker 1: did that and took out another couple of leaders. So
- 2:48Speaker 1: Iran without any leadership right now. Carg Island, which is
- 2:53Speaker 1: very crucial to them, we've taken out everything on it.
- 2:55Speaker 1: We left the oil there because it's their biggest oil refinery,
- 2:59Speaker 1: it's the biggest storage center. We've taken that out. Endless war.
- 3:04Speaker 1: I don't know you probably everybody thinks, I mean people
- 3:07Speaker 1: that are in the know about this, Israel, United States, DC.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I think you got about two weeks. More about two weeks.
- 3:15Speaker 1: They'll start wrapping it up, maybe three weeks. They'll wrap
- 3:17Speaker 1: it up in three weeks and that'll be the end
- 3:19Speaker 1: of it. So we'll see what happens, what kind of
- 3:22Speaker 1: government comes in there, what kind of leadership. But imagine
- 3:25Speaker 1: a free, liberated Iran that's no longer a terrorist state,
- 3:29Speaker 1: no longer a brutal dictatorship. And then Cuba is expected
- 3:33Speaker 1: to fall next Cuba already has rioters on the street
- 3:38Speaker 1: breaking into the communist headquarters buildings. You had a blackout
- 3:42Speaker 1: last night, believed to be deliberate, the government turning off
- 3:46Speaker 1: the power trying to control the rioting problem. Is like
- 3:50Speaker 1: any socialist communist country, the people are starving while the
- 3:54Speaker 1: leaders have everything. So you could have a blackout, but
- 3:58Speaker 1: the leaders all have generators and power on and their
- 4:01Speaker 1: lights are on and the rioters can see that, only
- 4:04Speaker 1: making the mangreer. So expect Cuba to fall in the
- 4:08Speaker 1: coming months. That could be another amazing development. Imagine that
- 4:11Speaker 1: Iran free, Cuba, free, a democracy all over again. Cuba's
- 4:17Speaker 1: not really a threat to us, Iran is. Iran's a
- 4:20Speaker 1: threat to everybody sponsoring terrorism all over the world. So
- 4:24Speaker 1: to eliminate that threat would be a major relief to
- 4:27Speaker 1: the world. That people may not see that now. They
- 4:29Speaker 1: might be yelling and screaming about how awful this is.
- 4:31Speaker 1: But once it's done. That's the problem with the critics
- 4:34Speaker 1: of Trump. They attack him like crazy over something and
- 4:39Speaker 1: it looks bad. He can look like he doesn't know
- 4:40Speaker 1: what he's doing. He can look like he's just flying
- 4:43Speaker 1: by the seat of his pants. He can look like
- 4:44Speaker 1: he's making it up as he goes along. That's actually
- 4:47Speaker 1: not the case. He can just look like that. But
- 4:49Speaker 1: then when it's over and it turns out it was great,
- 4:52Speaker 1: everything worked out fine, and it turns out he was right,
- 4:56Speaker 1: then they don't know what to do. You're seeing that
- 4:58Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, these are ra critics, especially the Democrats, Schumer,
- 5:04Speaker 1: Hillary Obama. For years years, all the video exists. You
- 5:09Speaker 1: can see them yelling and screaming about we have to
- 5:11Speaker 1: take out the Iatola, we have to get rid of
- 5:13Speaker 1: the Uranian government. We have They all talked about doing it,
- 5:17Speaker 1: even John Bolton. Nobody was more of a hawk on
- 5:19Speaker 1: this than John Bolton. Now they're all critics. Now, it's
- 5:22Speaker 1: the worst thing you can do. They couldn't stop saying
- 5:25Speaker 1: they had to do it, And now it's the dumbest thing.
- 5:28Speaker 1: It's the craziest thing. Why did he have to do this?
- 5:31Speaker 1: You're the ones that have been saying it for thirty
- 5:33Speaker 1: years now. The other line of attacks, he's betrayed his base,
- 5:36Speaker 1: he's betrayed the Maga Bass. He doesn't betrayed anybody. If
- 5:40Speaker 1: you check you again, I think they don't understand the Internet.
- 5:45Speaker 1: You can go back and look at videos of Donald
- 5:47Speaker 1: Trump going back forty six years. For forty six years
- 5:51Speaker 1: in interviews, he's been talking about getting rid of the Ayatola,
- 5:54Speaker 1: getting rid of this Iranian regime, wiping them out to
- 5:59Speaker 1: remove it them. He's been talking about it for forty
- 6:01Speaker 1: six years. He's talked about it all the time. It's
- 6:03Speaker 1: not it shouldn't be any shock to anybody. Susie Wilds,
- 6:07Speaker 1: the chief of staff who everybody loves and respects, announced
- 6:11Speaker 1: she has breast cancer. She'll continue to work though while
- 6:15Speaker 1: she gets treatment. Treatment will be three days a week,
- 6:18Speaker 1: but she'll continue to work as chief of staff. You know,
- 6:22Speaker 1: got some good, strong, tough women in the White House.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Caroline Levity, Remember she had a baby and recently and
- 6:28Speaker 1: took three days off and was back at work. Unlike
- 6:31Speaker 1: Pete Boodage Edge. Remember when he had a baby. And
- 6:34Speaker 1: it's not like he actually gave birth. Remember when he
- 6:36Speaker 1: had a baby. He was out for three four months,
- 6:39Speaker 1: in the middle of the supply chain crisis, in the
- 6:42Speaker 1: middle of the ports being clogged. He was out for
- 6:45Speaker 1: months and months and months. Now, why do those isis?
- 6:50Speaker 2: Not?
- 6:50Speaker 1: Isis? Why do those ice agents wear masks because of
- 6:54Speaker 1: the threats against them and their families. All the crazy
- 6:58Speaker 1: protesters have been trying what they call docs them give
- 7:02Speaker 1: out their address, put it up online, put it up
- 7:06Speaker 1: on Twitter or actually Blue Sky wherever they are, and
- 7:10Speaker 1: have their house surrounded by protesters, which does nothing except
- 7:13Speaker 1: terrify their family, terrorize their wife and their kids. So
- 7:17Speaker 1: that's why protesters, you know, do That's what protesters do.
- 7:23Speaker 1: That's why the ICE agents are wearing masks. Now, Homan
- 7:28Speaker 1: Tom Holman thinks maybe you should just dox the protesters.
- 7:32Speaker 1: You know, it's easy to do. You figure out who
- 7:34Speaker 1: people are, you know, as long as you can photograph
- 7:36Speaker 1: their face. There's so much software now where you can
- 7:39Speaker 1: just put the face into Google reverse photo search of
- 7:43Speaker 1: those kind of things, and it'll bring up who they are.
- 7:46Speaker 1: It'll bring you to their Instagram, their Facebook page, their LinkedIn,
- 7:49Speaker 1: stuff like that. So Holman wants to dox the protesters,
- 7:54Speaker 1: reveal who they are and what are they doing out
- 7:56Speaker 1: in the middle of the day protesting. Well, here's Holman
- 7:59Speaker 1: with his idea.
- 8:00Speaker 2: We're going to create a database those people that are
- 8:03Speaker 2: arrested for interference in PEMUT. So we're going to make
- 8:06Speaker 2: them famous. We're going to put their face on TV.
- 8:09Speaker 2: We're going to let their employers in their neighborhoods, in
- 8:12Speaker 2: their schools know who these people are, because, as you said,
- 8:15Speaker 2: a lot of these people they say they're taking time
- 8:17Speaker 2: off work to protest. I bet your lamer calling and sick.
- 8:20Speaker 2: I bet your lobber employers don't know what they're doing.
- 8:23Speaker 1: That could be so fight fire with fire. There you go.
- 8:28Speaker 1: You know in Hollywood, all they talk about is climate
- 8:30Speaker 1: change the environment. You got to use a paper straw
- 8:33Speaker 1: and not a plastic straw, big on the environment, cleaning
- 8:36Speaker 1: the environment. Well, everybody was stunned when they saw this
- 8:40Speaker 1: photograph that came out. It's up on my Twitter if
- 8:43Speaker 1: you want to see it. After the Oscars were over,
- 8:47Speaker 1: after the auditorium emptied out, after it was totally empty,
- 8:51Speaker 1: somebody way up high on the top took a photograph
- 8:55Speaker 1: of all the empty seats and it was they were
- 8:59Speaker 1: all just litter with garbage, with water bottles and paper
- 9:03Speaker 1: and bags and rappers. They just the whole floor was
- 9:06Speaker 1: just filled with garbage thrown there by these Hollywood elitists
- 9:11Speaker 1: who are lecturing you about climate change, clean the environment,
- 9:14Speaker 1: Protect the environment, and the worst case of littering you
- 9:18Speaker 1: can imagine. Take a look at the picture. It's on
- 9:21Speaker 1: my Twitter if you want to see it. But I mean, listen,
- 9:25Speaker 1: the hypocrisy Hollywood is famous for. The hypocrisy Democrats are
- 9:28Speaker 1: famous for. But I mean, it was just shocking. Also,
- 9:34Speaker 1: the elitist idea of we'll just throw this stuff all
- 9:38Speaker 1: over the floor, let somebody else clean up. That's Hollywood
- 9:42Speaker 1: for you. So hey, speaking of democrats, the Democrats in
- 9:46Speaker 1: the state legislature, they come up with one ridiculous, crazy
- 9:51Speaker 1: idea after another. The latest is this new proposal. It's
- 9:56Speaker 1: making its way through the legislature. Nobody could believe they
- 9:59Speaker 1: would actually attempt anything this crazy. It's called the what's
- 10:03Speaker 1: it called, the Lights Out Proposal to massive statewide ban
- 10:09Speaker 1: on lights on after eleven PM. Now inside, I guess
- 10:14Speaker 1: you can keep your lights on. But the proposed bill,
- 10:17Speaker 1: it's already making its way through Albany, the Dark Sky's
- 10:20Speaker 1: Protection Act, would regulate outdoor lighting. In other words, you
- 10:24Speaker 1: have a light on your building, or a floodlight, or
- 10:26Speaker 1: lights around your house, they all have to be out
- 10:29Speaker 1: at eleven PM. You have to turn them off. This
- 10:33Speaker 1: would include residential floodlights, building uplighting, commercial spotlights, and billboards.
- 10:40Speaker 1: You have to shut everything off at eleven o'clock. The goal,
- 10:44Speaker 1: they claim is to preserve and enhance the state's dark
- 10:48Speaker 1: sky while promoting safety for people, birds and other wildlife.
- 10:55Speaker 1: What does that even mean? Birds? I mean, if you
- 10:57Speaker 1: walk around a building with lights on it, you see
- 11:01Speaker 1: dead birds all around it that have crashed it. No,
- 11:04Speaker 1: I've never seen that. And what birds are flying around
- 11:07Speaker 1: at midnight? I really don't you ever see a bird
- 11:09Speaker 1: at midnight? Never? It's all about conserving energy, reducing our
- 11:14Speaker 1: carbon footprint. You know, it just never stops. First you
- 11:18Speaker 1: had to switch to these LED lights because that conserves
- 11:21Speaker 1: electricity and one bulb can last fifty billion years and
- 11:24Speaker 1: it doesn't use any electrics. But now you've got to
- 11:26Speaker 1: shut those off too. Another be exemptions obviously for emergency services, airports,
- 11:35Speaker 1: construction sites. Times Square got an exemption. Okay, Seasonal decorative
- 11:41Speaker 1: lights and small low wattage fixtures would also be exempt.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Sports venues would be exempt. Can you imagine if they
- 11:48Speaker 1: had to turn the lights off at eleven o'clock during
- 11:50Speaker 1: a game. This is the Democrats proposing this absolutely preposterous ridiculous.
- 11:56Speaker 1: The idea of government is fill the potholes, make the
- 12:00Speaker 1: streets safe, run the police, run the fire department, that
- 12:04Speaker 1: sort of stuff. Fixed the highways. It's not about regulating
- 12:07Speaker 1: your life. It's not telling you what you're allowed to
- 12:09Speaker 1: do in your house, what light bulb you're allowed to use,
- 12:13Speaker 1: what lights you're going to have outside your house, what
- 12:15Speaker 1: time you have to turn them up. This is not
- 12:18Speaker 1: not the role of government. Absolutely ridiculous. Hey, speaking of
- 12:22Speaker 1: the Oscars, we didn't get the ratings jet I'll check
- 12:24Speaker 1: on them. Oscar's getting a lot of criticism, a lot
- 12:29Speaker 1: of criticism for what's his name, Avir Bardem is yelling
- 12:34Speaker 1: about Palestine or whatever the hell he was yelling. Critics
- 12:38Speaker 1: attacked him left and right. He's got a history of
- 12:41Speaker 1: anti Israel stuff, and some even question why he was there.
- 12:44Speaker 1: He had no business being there, not nominated for anything,
- 12:48Speaker 1: but it was as one person road. One critic wrote,
- 12:51Speaker 1: if the Oscars chose him anyway, it can only be
- 12:53Speaker 1: described as open hunting season on Jews worldwide by the Oscars. Well, anyway,
- 13:00Speaker 1: Patrick's day today, so the parade will be on. That'll
- 13:03Speaker 1: be great. A lot of activity goes on all day. Now,
- 13:07Speaker 1: you just remember the parade will just cross gridlock all
- 13:10Speaker 1: over Manhattan in the middle of the day. But then
- 13:12Speaker 1: later in the day, just remember, wherever you go, there's
- 13:17Speaker 1: going to be a million drunken high school kids from
- 13:20Speaker 1: all over the Tri state area that come in for
- 13:22Speaker 1: this parade. There's going to be people throwing up all
- 13:25Speaker 1: over the streets. That tends to happen, So just beware
- 13:29Speaker 1: of that today or tonight if you're going out. Hey,
- 13:32Speaker 1: speaking of crazy Democrats, this mayor mom Donnie now wants
- 13:36Speaker 1: to lower the speed limit to fifteen miles an hour
- 13:40Speaker 1: in school zones. You can't drive fifteen miles an hour.
- 13:44Speaker 1: It's impossible, it can't be done. Fifteen miles an hour.
- 13:49Speaker 1: The current speed limit in New York is twenty five.
- 13:54Speaker 1: I mean not that you can go twenty five. It
- 13:55Speaker 1: too much traffic most of the time. But one reason
- 13:58Speaker 1: you'll lower it too low is that way you can
- 14:00Speaker 1: just put in those speed cameras and make a fortune
- 14:03Speaker 1: giving out tickets. You just never stop with the tickets,
- 14:07Speaker 1: so it's a way of just generating lots and lots
- 14:10Speaker 1: and lots of revenue. Hey, there's a new book out.
- 14:13Speaker 1: If you're a big Apple fan. It's called The First
- 14:16Speaker 1: fifty Years, Big collector's item. Yeah, it's right, Apple fifty
- 14:20Speaker 1: years April first. This April first, it'll be the fiftieth
- 14:25Speaker 1: anniversary of Apple. But the book takes you through the
- 14:28Speaker 1: five decades, key interviews with everybody that helped shape Apple.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Apple will be doing a lot of big fiftieth anniversary celebrations.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Now fifty years ago, when was that in nineteen seventy six?
- 14:41Speaker 1: What the hell did they do in nineteen seventy six?
- 14:43Speaker 1: What did they make in nineteen seventy six? I never
- 14:46Speaker 1: saw a computer in nineteen seventy six. Well, that's why
- 14:48Speaker 1: the book will be interesting. I think I saw the
- 14:51Speaker 1: first computers. I mean, you know, for people to use,
- 14:57Speaker 1: like in an office or somewhere. But what was it.
- 15:00Speaker 1: I think about eighty six, first time I saw computers
- 15:02Speaker 1: in an office eighty six, So for ten years, what
- 15:05Speaker 1: the hell were they doing? I don't know? And eighty
- 15:08Speaker 1: six the computers were those what do you call those
- 15:12Speaker 1: dos or whatever. It's just text on a screen. There
- 15:15Speaker 1: was no picture of any kind. But the book is
- 15:17Speaker 1: coming out very expensive, but it'll be a great book. Hey,
- 15:21Speaker 1: we'll take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three
- 15:24Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred
- 15:28Speaker 1: three two one zero seven ten
