Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York Kate's The Mark
0:04
Speaker 1: Simone Show on seven tenor.
0:13
Speaker 2: Hey lots to get to today, We'll get to the
0:15
Speaker 2: President's amazing press briefing yesterday. The rescue operation he went
0:21
Speaker 2: into detail was so powerful and moving describing that rescue operation.
0:25
Speaker 2: For those of you to watch the NBC Nightly News,
0:26
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you about this because if you watch
0:29
Speaker 2: the NBC Nightly News, you wouldn't have known about it.
0:32
Speaker 2: They didn't, they didn't feel it was worth covering. We'll
0:35
Speaker 2: get to that. We'll get to Stephen Colbert, he's gone,
0:37
Speaker 2: he's fired, he's out. We'll get to what the replacement
0:40
Speaker 2: will be. We'll get to Savannah Guthrie and there's more
0:44
Speaker 2: on the Mother and we'll get to Mom Donnie. We'll
0:46
Speaker 2: get to the Cross Bronx, We'll get to Artemis and
0:51
Speaker 2: all of that just ahead. President tonight at eight o'clock
0:56
Speaker 2: says that's the deadline. If Iran doesn't agree to every
1:01
Speaker 2: he will start taking out all the bridges and power plants.
1:04
Speaker 2: Now we're getting a report, not absolutely confirmed, but we
1:07
Speaker 2: are getting a report that Iran at the moment has
1:10
Speaker 2: cut off all talks. We talked through third parties. But
1:13
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens now. Also earlier this morning, the
1:17
Speaker 2: US did attack carg Island, crucial piece of real estate there.
1:21
Speaker 2: Carg Island is the hub of all of the Iranian
1:25
Speaker 2: oil industry. It's their main oil depot. For them to
1:28
Speaker 2: be in the oil business, sell oil, it has to
1:31
Speaker 2: take place on carg Island. Now, we hit it this
1:34
Speaker 2: morning with about fifty strikes, but we didn't touch the oil,
1:38
Speaker 2: that sort of infrastructure. All we hit were the military
1:41
Speaker 2: things on carg Island. We took out the air defense,
1:44
Speaker 2: we took out all the defense systems, we took out
1:46
Speaker 2: the bunkers, we took out all the military operations there.
1:52
Speaker 2: This could just be symbolic, or it could be preparation
1:55
Speaker 2: for taking over carg Island, getting rid of all defense
1:58
Speaker 2: and military stuff on the island. So eight o'clock tonight,
2:02
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. The President threatening to take out
2:06
Speaker 2: all the bridges, power plants. Now, if you're we just
2:09
Speaker 2: have to as a public service do this. If you're
2:12
Speaker 2: an MS NOW viewer or a CNN viewer, you have
2:14
Speaker 2: no idea what's going on. You're being told this would
2:17
Speaker 2: be a war crime to hit bridges and it's the
2:19
Speaker 2: worst war crime. This is an absolute war crime. This
2:22
Speaker 2: is absolutely not a war crime. If you talk to
2:25
Speaker 2: any expert, on real expert, not an MSNBC one, but
2:29
Speaker 2: a real legal expert, it's not a war crime. It's
2:32
Speaker 2: done all the time in every war. Bridges and power
2:35
Speaker 2: plants are a very common target in war. We do
2:39
Speaker 2: it all the time. We've done it. We've taken out
2:41
Speaker 2: entire cities. World War two, we took out Dresden, firebombed
2:46
Speaker 2: the whole city. Horotima is a good example. These are
2:49
Speaker 2: not war crimes. You can do this in war. So
2:53
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens at eight o'clock tonight. Now, you know,
2:59
Speaker 2: as flexible as president, it could be another extension. He
3:02
Speaker 2: likes these extensions. But we'll see what happens. The briefing
3:05
Speaker 2: yesterday was pretty powerful describing exactly how this guy was rescued.
3:12
Speaker 2: It was an incredible operation. You know, they spent about
3:15
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty million dollars to get this guy back,
3:20
Speaker 2: and a lot of presidents wouldn't do anything like that.
3:22
Speaker 2: Remember Clinton leaving Americans and Somalia, Obama leaving troops in Libya,
3:29
Speaker 2: Biden leaving people in Afghanistan. It's happened a lot, and apparently,
3:34
Speaker 2: as Trump confirmed, a lot of the military did not
3:37
Speaker 2: want to do the rescue operation. Not that they wouldn't
3:40
Speaker 2: like to rescue the guy, they just thought it was
3:42
Speaker 2: too risky. You'd be putting hundreds of lives at risk
3:45
Speaker 2: because it took hundreds of people to go in there
3:48
Speaker 2: and get the guy back. So a lot of the
3:50
Speaker 2: military argued against it, a lot of them Hexith and
3:55
Speaker 2: General Kin, they were fully on board with it, but
3:59
Speaker 2: it was the president who micro managed the thing, stayed
4:03
Speaker 2: on top of it. That's why he canceled his weekend
4:05
Speaker 2: trip to Palm Beach and decided it had to be done,
4:08
Speaker 2: whatever the cost. And it took. Now listen to this,
4:12
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty five military aircraft were on that rescue.
4:16
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty five aircraft, including four bombers, sixty
4:21
Speaker 2: four fighters, forty eight refueling tankers, thirteen rescue aircraft. A
4:27
Speaker 2: lot of it was subterfuge. One of the reasons they
4:30
Speaker 2: did this. A lot of these aircraft went to other
4:32
Speaker 2: locations just to confuse the Iranians about where the airman
4:37
Speaker 2: was and where the rescue was and it was really tough.
4:41
Speaker 2: They had to fly very very very low on some
4:44
Speaker 2: of this. As President Trump pointed out, we've got helicopters
4:47
Speaker 2: with bullet holes. And it was about a three hundred
4:50
Speaker 2: and fifty million dollar rescue. When they say boots on
4:54
Speaker 2: the ground, we've already had boots on the ground and
4:56
Speaker 2: Iran twice. We did it for the first pilot that
4:59
Speaker 2: was rescued a few days ago, and we did it
5:01
Speaker 2: again this weekend. There were about one hundred commandos on
5:04
Speaker 2: the ground and they had to scale that mountain seven
5:07
Speaker 2: thousand feet. The pilot badly wounded. First had to take
5:12
Speaker 2: care of his wounds. This is all in the training,
5:15
Speaker 2: how to dress your wounds, and then how to mountain climb.
5:19
Speaker 2: He had to climb seven thousand feet, find a crevice
5:23
Speaker 2: a cave to hide in, which he did. And then
5:26
Speaker 2: they knew his location because he kept sending out a beacon,
5:29
Speaker 2: which is very accurate, like right down to the inch
5:32
Speaker 2: where he is. When they tried to land all these
5:34
Speaker 2: heavy aircraft, they were landing on at times very wet
5:38
Speaker 2: sand and they were sinking into the sand. Very very
5:41
Speaker 2: difficult operation, but a lot of boots on the ground,
5:45
Speaker 2: They got it done, they got him out of there.
5:48
Speaker 2: It was an amazing thing. The press conference was so
5:50
Speaker 2: moving and so powerful that a lot of the network
5:53
Speaker 2: news made sure not to show it, not to let
5:56
Speaker 2: anybody see it, not to let anybody know about it.
6:00
Speaker 2: Think about what happened. The guy is shot down on
6:02
Speaker 2: a Friday, on Good Friday, shot down hiding in a cave,
6:07
Speaker 2: and rescued on Easter Sunday, flown out as the sun
6:10
Speaker 2: was rising on Easter Sunday. An amazing thing. You know,
6:13
Speaker 2: this would be an incredible movie. This is the kind
6:18
Speaker 2: of story. Every producer in hollywould be going nuts with
6:22
Speaker 2: the checkbook trying to buy the rights to this. But
6:25
Speaker 2: because Trump is a hero in this, because it was Trump,
6:28
Speaker 2: no movie. There'll be no movie about this. There'll be
6:32
Speaker 2: no books about it, There'll be no movie about it.
6:35
Speaker 2: If it were Obama's president, there'd be seventeen movies on
6:38
Speaker 2: the drawing boards, forty two books would be in the works. Now,
6:42
Speaker 2: nobody was killed in this operation. You gotta remember there's
6:44
Speaker 2: an important statistic. More people have been killed in Chicago
6:47
Speaker 2: in the last five weeks that we've had this war.
6:50
Speaker 2: More people have been killed in Chicago with the gunfire
6:53
Speaker 2: all over the streets. More people have been killed in
6:55
Speaker 2: Chicago than in our war and Iran. In fact, how
7:00
Speaker 2: many soldiers were losing in the last week is zero.
7:02
Speaker 2: How many people were killed in Chicago in the last week.
7:04
Speaker 2: I think it's eleven were shot. It's not even close.
7:09
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens later. President yesterday was now
7:14
Speaker 2: here's another thing. There after we put out this false
7:17
Speaker 2: story through the CIA, it leaked it out through all
7:20
Speaker 2: kinds of sources that would get back to Iran. This
7:23
Speaker 2: is when the pilot was still missing. We leaked out
7:25
Speaker 2: that we've got him, that he's been rescued, and we
7:29
Speaker 2: were taking him out in an amphibious operation at the
7:32
Speaker 2: sea that was to throw off the enemy. Well, somebody
7:35
Speaker 2: in the Pentagon started leaking out that it's not true
7:38
Speaker 2: that the pilot was still missing. He was still hidden
7:41
Speaker 2: somewhere in Iran. Whoever, the leaker has put everybody in danger,
7:46
Speaker 2: and President Trump says they're hunting for this leaker. They
7:49
Speaker 2: will find this leaker. Somebody in the government leaked it
7:53
Speaker 2: to the Washington Post, to CBS, to Reuters, and the
7:56
Speaker 2: presidents as they'll track him down.
7:58
Speaker 3: We have to find that leaker, because that's a sick
8:00
Speaker 3: probably didn't realize the extent of how bad it was.
8:04
Speaker 3: I can't imagine that the person did. But we're going
8:07
Speaker 3: to find out. It's national security and the person that
8:11
Speaker 3: did the story will go to jail if he doesn't
8:14
Speaker 3: say and that doesn't last long. And I think everybody
8:17
Speaker 3: would understand that they put this mission at great risk.
8:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you got to reveal the source. Now that
8:22
Speaker 2: this happened before where they threatened to put you in
8:25
Speaker 2: jail if you don't reveal. You know, the press thing
8:27
Speaker 2: never want to reveal their source. You're never supposed to
8:29
Speaker 2: do that. But this is different. This is serious, serious,
8:32
Speaker 2: serious national security. So they won't fool around with us.
8:35
Speaker 2: They'll put the person in jail. It's happened. Remember the great,
8:38
Speaker 2: great journalist Judith Miller went to jail over that. Remember
8:43
Speaker 2: Mary Tyler Moore in one episode went to jail over
8:45
Speaker 2: not really a leaker. But so somebody from CBS or
8:50
Speaker 2: the Washington Post or somewhere will end up going to
8:52
Speaker 2: jail over this. Hey, a good news is this is
8:55
Speaker 2: very good news. They say there's no good news anymore. Well,
8:58
Speaker 2: here's some Stephen Colbert has been fired. He'll be thrown
9:02
Speaker 2: off the air May twenty first. That'll be the last
9:05
Speaker 2: time you'll ever see this guy on network television. Now,
9:08
Speaker 2: what's going to replace Colbert? Well, it's going to be
9:12
Speaker 2: Byron Allen, the comedian. Byron Allen, over the last couple
9:16
Speaker 2: of decades, built a television empire, became a billionaire by
9:22
Speaker 2: if sometimes you've seen these shows through the years, these
9:24
Speaker 2: comedian shows with Byron Allen. What's part of a massive
9:27
Speaker 2: production company. He built in a massive empire that's now
9:31
Speaker 2: made him a billionaire. And he's a great negotiator, very
9:36
Speaker 2: powerful force out there in Hollywood. So he's convinced CBS
9:39
Speaker 2: to hand him the hour and there'll be two things
9:44
Speaker 2: in the eleven thirty slot. It'll be Comics Unleashed with
9:48
Speaker 2: Byron Allen, and they're going to try something different in
9:51
Speaker 2: late night. They're going to do actual comedy. Now, you
9:55
Speaker 2: got to remember, Colbert's not a comedy show. It's a
9:58
Speaker 2: political shows, a hate filled show. They call it the
10:01
Speaker 2: Late Show, they should call it the Hate Show. It's
10:03
Speaker 2: a raging Trump derangement syndrome. Guy with like unbelievable hate
10:08
Speaker 2: for President Trump. And that's his whole half. And then
10:11
Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel copied that. So Byron Allen's going to take
10:14
Speaker 2: it back to what Late Night was supposed to be,
10:17
Speaker 2: just actual comedy entertainment. Laughs. Now this comic's unleashed every
10:24
Speaker 2: night has a group of comedians and they're all very funny.
10:27
Speaker 2: But here's the thing he has told them. The panel
10:31
Speaker 2: has been told no politics. Quote. I tell the comedians
10:36
Speaker 2: we're doing I love Lucy. We want something that's in Evergreen.
10:39
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear any political humor. Just be funny,
10:42
Speaker 2: family friendly, advertiser friendly, funny. Now that's the first half hour.
10:49
Speaker 2: The second half hour is going to be a comedy
10:51
Speaker 2: game show, also produced by Byron Allen called Funny you
10:55
Speaker 2: should Ask. So it'll be this comedy show, no political jokes,
10:59
Speaker 2: nothing political, and then a game show that will replace Colbert.
11:03
Speaker 2: Now prediction it'll do very well in the ratings. Now,
11:07
Speaker 2: I remember these late night shows have tiny audiences. Colbert
11:10
Speaker 2: has a tiny audience. Kimmel has an even smaller audience.
11:14
Speaker 2: So when they see this, this do well. If it
11:18
Speaker 2: gets triple, which it probably will probably get triple Colbert's ratings,
11:22
Speaker 2: you'll see Kimmel go pretty soon, because then ABC will
11:25
Speaker 2: do something like that. Fallon is a different sort of
11:28
Speaker 2: a guy. He's gotten into that Colbert kind of a trap.
11:32
Speaker 2: But Fallon is really deep down He's just a great
11:36
Speaker 2: comedian Saturday Night Live and great impression. So Fallon can
11:40
Speaker 2: convert back to a comedy show. He'll drop all the
11:43
Speaker 2: politics and go back to a straight comedy show. So
11:46
Speaker 2: this will be the last chance to save Late Night.
11:49
Speaker 2: Colbert and Kimmell absolutely destroyed it. It was created That's
11:54
Speaker 2: a Night Show by Steve Allen and then Jack Parr
11:57
Speaker 2: and Johnny Carson. Is just comedy entertainment. Aleno continued the tradition.
12:02
Speaker 2: Then these guys just took it right down into the sewer,
12:05
Speaker 2: just made it hatefield political. Also, remember when you do
12:09
Speaker 2: that kind of left wing crazy partisans, you're chasing away
12:12
Speaker 2: half the audience right away. Your half of America can't watch.
12:16
Speaker 2: It's a crazy business model. Hey, Savannah Guthrie was back
12:20
Speaker 2: yesterday on The Today Show. What did it sound like?
12:23
Speaker 2: Her first moment on the air and.
12:24
Speaker 4: A sun coming up? Good morning, Welcome to Today on
12:27
Speaker 4: this Monday morning. We are so glad you started your
12:29
Speaker 4: week with us. And it is good to be home.
12:32
Speaker 2: Yes, it is good to have you back at home.
12:34
Speaker 4: Well, here we go, ready or not, let's do the news. Yes,
12:37
Speaker 4: so good to have you back.
12:38
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, while this is going on, there was a
12:42
Speaker 2: guy who way back when was sending ransom letters. A
12:45
Speaker 2: lot of different ransom letters coming in, but there were
12:47
Speaker 2: a couple they thought might be legitimate. There was one
12:49
Speaker 2: long ago. There was weeks and months, a couple of
12:52
Speaker 2: months ago when this happened, sending ransom notes to TMC. Well,
12:56
Speaker 2: the guy was back yesterday sending new ransom notes, and
13:02
Speaker 2: this time's saying he wants money to let them he
13:06
Speaker 2: can tell them where the body is and who the
13:08
Speaker 2: kidnapper was. And he said she's dead in the ransom
13:13
Speaker 2: she's dead, but I can tell you where you'll find
13:15
Speaker 2: the body. It went to Harvey Levin. He immediately turned
13:19
Speaker 2: it over FBI and everything. TMZ got the letter here there.
13:23
Speaker 1: We got another letter today from this person, an email
13:28
Speaker 1: saying I know where her body is and who the
13:31
Speaker 1: kidnapper is. Give us, give me half a bitcoin and
13:35
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. And this person has been really persistent,
13:39
Speaker 1: knowing that if it's a scam, it's a federal crime.
13:44
Speaker 2: That's pretty interesting. I mean, you got to assume she's dead.
13:47
Speaker 2: It's sixty five days without her heart medicine, blood pressure medicine,
13:54
Speaker 2: and everything else. She's got a pacemaker. Absolutely hard to
13:59
Speaker 2: believe she could be alive after sixty five days. So hey,
14:03
Speaker 2: the Artemis space capsule orbiting the Moon took that great
14:06
Speaker 2: picture as they came around the Moon. You see the
14:09
Speaker 2: Moon and way off in the distance, up in the sky,
14:12
Speaker 2: little thing up until you see the Earth. It's an
14:16
Speaker 2: incredible Instagram picture. I know. You try to put up
14:19
Speaker 2: yourself at some some amazing shot for Instagram. You can't
14:22
Speaker 2: top that one. It costs like eight billion to get
14:25
Speaker 2: this Instagram shot. But outside of that, I don't know
14:28
Speaker 2: what we're going to do over there. But hey, we'll

Speaker 4: Mark.
15:06
Speaker 6: Last night, when I was watching the basketball basketball game,
15:09
Speaker 6: I've got a phone survey from the American Survey Company
15:13
Speaker 6: asking about my radio listening habits am and F them. Yeah,
15:17
Speaker 6: that's the first time that' said ever happened to me.
15:19
Speaker 6: So I told him, I said, listen, what do you
15:21
Speaker 6: listen to? I said, well, I listened to War from
15:24
Speaker 6: ten to noon. And what do you listened to? I said,
15:26
Speaker 6: I listen to Mark Simone. He goes and he couldn't
15:28
Speaker 6: understand my accent because this guy had a Spanish accent also,
15:31
Speaker 6: but he says woa. I said, noh wr. And he says,
15:34
Speaker 6: what do you listen to an FM? I said, I
15:36
Speaker 6: don't listen to from radio in South Carolina. But I
15:39
Speaker 6: listened to w R two hours a day from Mark Simone.
15:43
Speaker 6: And I listened on iHeart Radio and he's asking you
15:46
Speaker 6: know my name, and you know how old are you
15:48
Speaker 6: and how many people in the house and all that
15:49
Speaker 6: kind of crap. And he says, what do you listen
15:51
Speaker 6: to for music? I said, listen to this to serious radio.
15:55
Speaker 6: After Mark Simone, I go to the Grateful Dead Channel.
15:57
Speaker 6: Listen to the concert of the day.
15:59
Speaker 2: Oh, Grateful Dead Channel, Oh my god, yeah, grateful.
16:04
Speaker 6: My buddy Bob and San Diego. Yeah, but the uh
16:07
Speaker 6: if I listened to the Beatle Channel and they got
16:09
Speaker 6: nice channels. I'm serious, like pop and country hits. So
16:12
Speaker 6: you get a pop hit, then you get a country
16:14
Speaker 6: hit from all different decades. But I thought it'd be
16:16
Speaker 6: interesting because that's one of the first surveys. And I
16:18
Speaker 6: was in radio for twenty five years too, but that's
16:21
Speaker 6: the first time I ever got cold about a radio survey.
16:24
Speaker 6: And how old are you? How much you make? I said,
16:26
Speaker 6: I'm not answering that question, but I told him, I said,
16:28
Speaker 6: for two hours every day, five days a week.
16:30
Speaker 5: It's w O R.
16:31
Speaker 6: Walks alone from ten to noon and I go listen
16:34
Speaker 6: to serious. I couldn't even tell them the coal letters
16:37
Speaker 6: of an FM station of South Carolina because I just
16:39
Speaker 6: don't listen to Well.
16:40
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, nobody's ever heard of the American Survey Company. I
16:43
Speaker 2: don't know who the hell that is or where the service. Yeah, well,
16:46
Speaker 2: thanks for mentioning us, Thanks for thanks for that, good
16:50
Speaker 2: good good. Yeah, I don't know, you know, I mean
16:53
Speaker 2: there's like Nielsen Ratings, and there's what else do we use.
16:57
Speaker 2: There's a few rating services that we use here in radio.
17:00
Speaker 2: But I don't know. They've never heard the American Survey Company.
17:03
Speaker 2: You know, people always say when you talk about surveys,
17:07
Speaker 2: nobody ever asked me, Or when you talk about a poll,
17:09
Speaker 2: I don't know about these polls. Nobody ever pulled me. Well, uh,
17:14
Speaker 2: that's it doesn't matter. They pulled somebody like you. If
17:17
Speaker 2: it's a really good poll, they've got a representative sample
17:20
Speaker 2: of everybody. And I, believe it or not, I have
17:22
Speaker 2: been contacted by poles, even rating companies. I've been uh,
17:27
Speaker 2: you know, you have to tell them you can't do it.
17:30
Speaker 2: You're you know so. But I've actually been contacted a
17:33
Speaker 2: few times. Let's go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how
17:36
Speaker 2: you doing?
17:38
Speaker 5: Hi? Mark? Uh? I, here's you going. I agree with
17:42
Speaker 5: the comedian Robers.
17:44
Speaker 2: Foster Brooks of Pennsylvania. Go ahead, yeah, I you know,
17:48
Speaker 2: I agree with Rob Schneider about the nineteenth Amendment.
17:51
Speaker 5: I mean, I think we should allow women to vote.
17:54
Speaker 5: Just not unimportant.
17:55
Speaker 2: Well that's very open of you. So you think we
17:57
Speaker 2: should allow women to vote? That would not be too controversy.
18:00
Speaker 5: You no, just not an important thing.
18:03
Speaker 2: Oh just not an important talk, all right, Phil Foster
18:08
Speaker 2: Brooks Junior, thank you for calling. It's hard to believe
18:12
Speaker 2: women were not allowed to vote until was it somewhere
18:14
Speaker 2: in the twenties? Can imagine that? Do you imagine that
18:18
Speaker 2: finally it was controversial to let women vote. Let's go
18:22
Speaker 2: to Albert and Keyport, Albert. How you doing?
18:26
Speaker 5: What's that? I usually call sports show? But you're raped
18:29
Speaker 5: by the sports thing and I heard you talking anyway,
18:32
Speaker 5: Thanks for taking my call.
18:33
Speaker 2: What do you call the sports shows about?
18:37
Speaker 5: You know, the different guys who play and stuff that
18:40
Speaker 5: you know, you know, just talk about sports stuff. I mean,
18:43
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.
18:45
Speaker 2: It's hard to listen to that sports radio.
18:48
Speaker 5: It's just a bunch of some of them, some of
18:50
Speaker 5: the ones that are on right now in the morning,
18:52
Speaker 5: I can't stand them, you know what I mean.
18:54
Speaker 2: But the whole thing I used to listen to Mike Francessa.
18:57
Speaker 2: He was good. He seemed to know all kinds of
18:59
Speaker 2: inside stuff that nobody else knew, so that was interesting.
19:02
Speaker 2: But outside of that, these sports shows are like it's
19:04
Speaker 2: a bunch of guys in a bar, arguing about their opinions.
19:08
Speaker 5: The one is the on the ones they got going out.
19:10
Speaker 5: They just switched the one thing. They switched their whole routine,
19:12
Speaker 5: and they messed up the whole thing. They got to
19:15
Speaker 5: take us some really ignorant people. It's just I want
19:19
Speaker 5: to say something about Industria. Thank you for taking a call.
19:23
Speaker 5: It's not a calaistic What I often wondered is why
19:26
Speaker 5: didn't she had twenty four hour guards on that premises
19:30
Speaker 5: with her mother there.
19:32
Speaker 2: Being that all because they would think to have it.
19:35
Speaker 2: That's the house she grew up in, lived there all
19:37
Speaker 2: her life. There's absolutely no crime in that neighborhood, no
19:40
Speaker 2: crime at all.
19:41
Speaker 5: They know who she was. Somebody knew who you know.
19:43
Speaker 5: Evidently they knew who she was and where she was.
19:46
Speaker 5: It's just she's eighty. It wasn't like she was fifty
19:49
Speaker 5: or something. She was eighty four with a pacemaker. I'm
19:51
Speaker 5: not putting anything on my own.
19:53
Speaker 2: I know it would be highly unusual. The biggest celebrities
19:55
Speaker 2: in the world don't have guards on their mother's house.
19:58
Speaker 2: It's just not something that.
19:59
Speaker 5: They ought at some The way it is going now,
20:01
Speaker 5: it's the world's so crazy. It's not really that.
20:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's interesting. You bring up a good point. Well,
20:07
Speaker 2: thanks for calling. Yeah that maybe now some celebrities her
20:11
Speaker 2: mother living alone somewhere, now they're hiring guards. It's just
20:16
Speaker 2: you know, now, did you see this Howard Stern lawsuit?
20:18
Speaker 2: Howard Stern had a personal assistant. He's got a few
20:21
Speaker 2: of them, but this one was basically working in his
20:23
Speaker 2: Southampton house, managing that house. She's now suing him. I
20:29
Speaker 2: can't see what she's suing him over. She can't seem
20:33
Speaker 2: to explain what it is. She claims a hostile work environment,
20:36
Speaker 2: but she hasn't explained what was so hostile. She was
20:39
Speaker 2: getting two hundred and sixty five thousand a year to
20:42
Speaker 2: be the personal assistant. That doesn't seem that hostile. She said.
20:48
Speaker 2: She was forced to sign a non disclosure agreement, and
20:52
Speaker 2: in the non disclosure she was not allowed to reveal
20:54
Speaker 2: anything about what goes on in the household. She was
20:57
Speaker 2: not allowed to reveal what they eat, what can more
21:00
Speaker 2: products they use, what their travel arrangements are, where they stay,
21:04
Speaker 2: locations of their residents. Well, that makes sense. I can
21:08
Speaker 2: understand not wanting somebody to reveal that. So so far,
21:11
Speaker 2: I still can't figure out what the lawsuit is over.
21:14
Speaker 2: She was not allowed to reveal private conversations they were
21:17
Speaker 2: having their political stuff. Well, it makes sense. I would
21:21
Speaker 2: think anybody with a celebrity would make somebody sign that.
21:25
Speaker 2: So we still can't figure out what this lawsuit is over.
21:27
Speaker 2: Let's go to Joe in Elmwood Park. Joe, how you doing.
21:31
Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Fence. How come nobody talks
21:33
Speaker 6: about the base that we lost?
21:35
Speaker 5: Would in the the Iranian mission be easier if we
21:41
Speaker 5: had that base?
21:41
Speaker 2: What base?
21:43
Speaker 6: The base in Afrighanistan that the other two gave away.
21:48
Speaker 2: I don't know that we'd need that base. Now, we
21:50
Speaker 2: don't need it for any reason. We can do the
21:52
Speaker 2: whole thing from here, believe it or not. The bombing
21:54
Speaker 2: of the nuclear reactor, it was all done from Florida.
21:56
Speaker 2: We don't need that base. Okay, Well, thanks for calling
21:59
Speaker 2: the problem he's talking about. When Biden pulled out of Afghanistan,
22:04
Speaker 2: the most embarrassing bungled up military situation in US history,
22:08
Speaker 2: he left billions of dollars worth of equipment lying there,
22:11
Speaker 2: all sorts of advanced sophisticated weaponry. Just left it there,
22:16
Speaker 2: and it fell into the hands of our enemies and
22:18
Speaker 2: Afghanistan and terrorist ISIS got a hold of it. The
22:21
Speaker 2: problem with that base is China. And that's the problem.
22:26
Speaker 2: That base, believe it or not, was very very close
22:28
Speaker 2: to China, closer to China than any other base we've got.
22:32
Speaker 2: That's one reason we should have kept it. It was
22:34
Speaker 2: about Bagram Airbase. But China has probably taken it over
22:38
Speaker 2: it they're now using it. And all those weapons that
22:41
Speaker 2: were left on the ground and fell into the hands
22:44
Speaker 2: of ISIS that probably somewhere in Iran and are being
22:48
Speaker 2: used against us as we speak, thanks to Joe Biden.
22:51
Speaker 2: And the other thing is you'll hear all these people,
22:53
Speaker 2: these pannicins who are all upset about the rannying ware, say,
22:56
Speaker 2: look what it's done to the stock Mart's crushed the
22:58
Speaker 2: stock Mary crush the stock market. It is down about
23:02
Speaker 2: five percent. It'll remember we went through this with the tariffs,
23:06
Speaker 2: where the stock market came down ten percent, fifteen percent. Well,
23:09
Speaker 2: which once that was settled, it's sort to all time
23:12
Speaker 2: new highs, set new records. It'll do that here. But
23:15
Speaker 2: also even at this moment with it down, it's still
23:18
Speaker 2: way above where it was under Joe Biden. Ever since
23:21
Speaker 2: the President Trump took office. It's up, It's way up.
23:25
Speaker 2: So hey, when we come back to brilliant columnist Liz Peak,
23:28
Speaker 2: we'll talk to her next on seven to ten WRT.
23:32
Speaker 1: Mark Simone Show continues.
23:38
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, brilliant columnist Liz Peak. Now you can read
23:41
Speaker 2: her at foxnews dot com The Hill, but also she
23:45
Speaker 2: puts out a great daily brief in great news and analysis.
23:49
Speaker 2: You just go to lizpeak dot com. Make sure you
23:52
Speaker 2: sign up. It'll come. It's free, it'll come. Write to
23:54
Speaker 2: your email every day lizpeak dot com. Lizpeak, How you doing.
23:59
Speaker 4: I'm very well.
24:00
Speaker 2: How are you I'm good. How do you think we'll
24:03
Speaker 2: be at eight pm tonight?
24:06
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean the whole world wonders the same.
24:11
Speaker 4: You know, I'm torn. I mean, I spend some time
24:15
Speaker 4: this morning thinking that all of this was a great
24:17
Speaker 4: distraction after learning that we bombed various sites on the
24:24
Speaker 4: Krak Island last night, thinking that this whole build up
24:28
Speaker 4: of attacking bridges and power stations was kind of a
24:32
Speaker 4: distraction from what we're really going to do, which was
24:34
Speaker 4: going to do something about taking control of carg Island,
24:37
Speaker 4: which you know, Mark, is a real different step here.
24:40
Speaker 4: Because it would engage boots in the ground. It would
24:45
Speaker 4: be a very different kind of war effort than we
24:47
Speaker 4: have engaged in right now so or up till now.
24:51
Speaker 4: So I don't know. I mean, I think Trump doesn't
24:55
Speaker 4: want to have a further escalation of this conflict. I
24:59
Speaker 4: think he really wants to have a deal. It's really
25:02
Speaker 4: difficult because right now, I think he was completely serious
25:06
Speaker 4: yesterday and the press conference talking about how, you know,
25:10
Speaker 4: it's very hard to communicate with the people we don't
25:13
Speaker 4: even know really who's leading the conversation. He implied that
25:18
Speaker 4: there was someone on the other side who was ready
25:21
Speaker 4: to do a deal, but who is that we don't know.
25:23
Speaker 4: And you know, my God said, the cast who characters
25:26
Speaker 4: changes practically every day. So I think the betting and
25:31
Speaker 4: the markets today started out like, you know, we'll get
25:34
Speaker 4: a deal, and then Iran was so clearly rebuffing US
25:40
Speaker 4: overtures and US proposals that now the market's kind of
25:43
Speaker 4: down because you know, there's a chance that he follows
25:47
Speaker 4: through and we bomb a lot of infrastructure in Iran,
25:53
Speaker 4: and I think, you know, I think the world doesn't
25:55
Speaker 4: want to see that happen. Frankly, I think they want
25:57
Speaker 4: a deal, We should have a deal. Is incredible to
26:01
Speaker 4: me that this terror regime in Iran can hold the
26:07
Speaker 4: entire world hostage by closing the strait of horm moves,
26:10
Speaker 4: and that most of our allies are unwilling to help
26:13
Speaker 4: us do anything about it. The whole thing is kind
26:15
Speaker 4: of crazy.
26:16
Speaker 2: Well, some people think Donald Trump has for the last
26:19
Speaker 2: few days been trying the mad men theory. You know
26:22
Speaker 2: that Nixon used to act like you're crazy and it'll
26:24
Speaker 2: scare the enemy. By these people in Iran, whoever is
26:26
Speaker 2: running it, this little group, you got to admit they
26:29
Speaker 2: are the most resilient resistant. What do you think would
26:33
Speaker 2: ever get through to them? Would they ever surrender under
26:36
Speaker 2: any circumstance?
26:37
Speaker 4: Well, that's the question, right. I think the problem is
26:41
Speaker 4: they want to hold onto power and they know there
26:44
Speaker 4: is no kind of truth ceasefire agreement end of the
26:50
Speaker 4: war that's going to allow that. I mean, I think
26:53
Speaker 4: that you know, best case, they kind of go down fighting,
26:57
Speaker 4: and that the United States gets tired of the plit
27:00
Speaker 4: pushback and so forth we walk away. It would be
27:05
Speaker 4: absolutely a catastrophe if we don't finish this thing. And
27:08
Speaker 4: by finish it, I mean making sure there is no
27:11
Speaker 4: capacity in Iran for making a nuclear weapon. Secondly, that
27:16
Speaker 4: we really destroy their production of missiles. I mean, I
27:20
Speaker 4: don't think anyone knew what the stores of ballistic missiles
27:24
Speaker 4: looked like in Iran. And also, by the way, people
27:27
Speaker 4: didn't know how advanced they were, how far they could travel,
27:30
Speaker 4: et cetera. So that was kind of a big heads
27:32
Speaker 4: up that this very aggressive, hostile regime was much better
27:38
Speaker 4: armed than anybody thought. But to me, the third leg
27:43
Speaker 4: of that stool is we must never we must not
27:46
Speaker 4: allow Iran to control the strait of hormones because it
27:50
Speaker 4: is clearly their major case in the hole. It is
27:54
Speaker 4: the thing that they have that can threaten the entire world,
27:59
Speaker 4: not just not just the region. It's China after all,
28:03
Speaker 4: in Japan who are really struggling with a cutoff of oil.
28:08
Speaker 4: And how can we collectively weed the developed world collectively
28:12
Speaker 4: allow this to happen. It's unconscionable. So something has to
28:16
Speaker 4: happen to Cark Island or two munitions capabilities of Iran,
28:23
Speaker 4: something that prevents this strait from again being a chokehold
28:29
Speaker 4: on the world's economy. It just can't happen.
28:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think somewhere in the Pentagon. They've got
28:34
Speaker 2: plenty of battle plans on how to reopen the Strait
28:36
Speaker 2: when they need to.
28:37
Speaker 4: I agree, but having it closed.
28:39
Speaker 2: Only hurts a Ran. That's their source of income, explorting oil.
28:44
Speaker 4: Well right now though, it's really hurting pretty much everybody
28:47
Speaker 4: around the world. I mean, the United States is in
28:48
Speaker 4: a pretty good position. We are not looking at long
28:51
Speaker 4: gas lines and shortages, but that's happening elsewhere. And you know,
28:57
Speaker 4: I mean, I do look at these NATO countries that
29:00
Speaker 4: are supposed to be our allies, for whom we are
29:04
Speaker 4: engaged in Ukraine after all, and for whom we have
29:09
Speaker 4: been footing the global military readiness budget for decades, and
29:16
Speaker 4: the fact that they won't allow us to fly use
29:18
Speaker 4: flyover space in their countries, they will let us use
29:22
Speaker 4: their bases, et cetera. I think it is absolutely appalling.
29:25
Speaker 4: And I think there's a good part of the United
29:28
Speaker 4: States right now they're saying, why are we so wedded
29:32
Speaker 4: to this alliance which right now really doesn't look much
29:35
Speaker 4: of an alliance.
29:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, let's peak. Let's just change the subject for
29:40
Speaker 2: a minute to get to New York City. Crazy Mayor
29:42
Speaker 2: mom Ghani and his tax everybody, tax the rich. Now
29:45
Speaker 2: you've got actually Jamie Diamond, who usually tries to stay
29:48
Speaker 2: out of the line of fire, now standing up to him,
29:51
Speaker 2: saying we'll leave. Everybody else will leave, businesses will pull out. Yeah, well,
29:54
Speaker 2: what do you.
29:55
Speaker 4: Think, you know? Mark, I just think these are ideologues.
30:00
Speaker 4: There's no shortage of people willing to tell mayor Mom
30:04
Speaker 4: Danny that he's on the wrong track. There's no shortage
30:07
Speaker 4: of data showing that people are leaving New York because
30:11
Speaker 4: of high taxes and because spending is out of control,
30:15
Speaker 4: which is driving those high taxes. It's clearly happening. Bamie Diamond,
30:21
Speaker 4: after all, last year told everybody that he had more
30:23
Speaker 4: bankers in Texas now than he does in New York.
30:26
Speaker 4: If the finance and we've already seen the financial community bleed,
30:32
Speaker 4: participants bleed, country, bad companies and assets under management, and
30:36
Speaker 4: so forth to Florida and Texas, some to other states
30:42
Speaker 4: that are also low tax This is a death spiral.
30:45
Speaker 4: You can't continue this without eventually really running this city
30:50
Speaker 4: into the ground. And I say this city because this
30:53
Speaker 4: is still my home. I mean, I you know, this
30:55
Speaker 4: is where I do businesses, where I live and I
31:00
Speaker 4: I think it's just an appalling blindness on the part
31:05
Speaker 4: of Mamdani and his colleagues. They really are socialists, I mean,
31:09
Speaker 4: I think Jamie last year called them Marxists. I think
31:12
Speaker 4: they are, I mean, and as idiologues. They don't really
31:16
Speaker 4: care about the future. They don't really care about what
31:20
Speaker 4: it's going to look like ten or fifteen years from now.
31:23
Speaker 4: They just want to punish the rich, punish the people
31:27
Speaker 4: who make the trains run in New York City, and
31:31
Speaker 4: by the way, fund all the programs that they're so
31:33
Speaker 4: excited about. I don't know that anything will get them
31:36
Speaker 4: off that dime. It's interesting when you look at California
31:39
Speaker 4: right now, you know there are sort of little bit
31:42
Speaker 4: of green shoots. I mean, San Francisco isn't perfect, but
31:45
Speaker 4: they changed the laws that were destroying that city because
31:49
Speaker 4: finally the people in charge said, you know what, and
31:53
Speaker 4: the citizens said, this isn't working. We've got to change something.
31:56
Speaker 4: The quality of life stinks and the city is going downhill.
32:00
Speaker 4: In Los Angeles, we had on Maria Barbaroma show this
32:03
Speaker 4: morning a guy who's running for mayor out there and
32:06
Speaker 4: he's not doing badly considering it is such an overwhelming
32:09
Speaker 4: as a Republican an overwhelmingly Democrat city. I think people
32:14
Speaker 4: are beginning to think that they've made some bad choices.
32:18
Speaker 4: And the other thing on the news today is the
32:21
Speaker 4: new governor of Virginia, spam Berger, whose approval ratings are
32:25
Speaker 4: the worst for any Virginia governor in decades. Well, you know,
32:31
Speaker 4: she came in, she ran as a lot or she
32:33
Speaker 4: came in. Now she wants to do this very aggressive redistricting,
32:37
Speaker 4: which Virginians don't like. Most people don't like. She's raising taxes.
32:41
Speaker 4: You know, it would be really nice to see a
32:43
Speaker 4: little bit of pushback to all the craziness, because for
32:47
Speaker 4: an awful lot of us, we look at everything that
32:49
Speaker 4: mom Johnny does, including the people he's put into positions
32:52
Speaker 4: of importance, and just say, what is she doing? It
32:56
Speaker 4: makes no sense. He's alienating people left right. But again
33:02
Speaker 4: I don't know that he cares. He's very smug, very arrogant.
33:05
Speaker 4: He thinks he's right.
33:06
Speaker 2: What did George Will said? George Will said something like,
33:08
Speaker 2: we have to do this every twenty years with one
33:10
Speaker 2: of these crazy socialists. Do these experiments to show the
33:13
Speaker 2: younger people how bad it is, so they learn the
33:15
Speaker 2: lesson and then we don't have to go through it again.
33:19
Speaker 5: You know.
33:19
Speaker 4: Charlie Gasprino said something like that months and months ago
33:22
Speaker 4: when the election was still going on. He said, just
33:25
Speaker 4: let it burn down, you know, they'll have to figure
33:27
Speaker 4: it out. And I was like, what a horrible thing
33:30
Speaker 4: to say. But you know what, maybe he's right. Maybe
33:32
Speaker 4: maybe young people have to realize that you can't you
33:36
Speaker 4: can't kill the golden goose, and that's what they want
33:40
Speaker 4: to do. It really is the oldest story on record.
33:44
Speaker 4: But if you, for example, institute wealth taxes even in
33:49
Speaker 4: very blue states out West. They institute a wealth tax
33:53
Speaker 4: in Washington State. They propose it in California, and guess what,
33:57
Speaker 4: people run away. I mean, they don't have to stay there.
34:01
Speaker 4: And if you're successful, if you've built a great business,
34:05
Speaker 4: who are they to say that they deserve a piece
34:08
Speaker 4: of it? They are not. Now, I got to tell you, Mark,
34:11
Speaker 4: my nightmare, My nightmare and your nightmare should be that
34:13
Speaker 4: they're going to have an exit tax on these various
34:16
Speaker 4: states like Illinois, New Jersey, California, New York that are
34:20
Speaker 4: losing so many people. I don't think that's constitutional, but
34:23

35:23
Speaker 2: whole lot more. Don't forget. It's Buck and Clay at

35:30
Speaker 2: show in America, Sean Hannity at three, got Jesse Kelly
35:35
Speaker 2: at six, and every night Jimmy Falo. It's a really
35:39
Speaker 2: funny show. Was listening to it last night, Jimmy Fayla
35:41
Speaker 2: every night nine to midnight, on seven to ten.
35:44
Speaker 1: Wo R Mister New York Mark Simone sor.
35:52
Speaker 2: Well, hey, it looks nice outs, nice cold. It's that's
35:55
Speaker 2: like yesterday. That's in the fifties today. But but it's
35:59
Speaker 2: gonna get warmer by the weekend. The week it will
36:00
Speaker 2: be nice and warm, and that's the good news. New
36:02
Speaker 2: York Times looking sillier and sillier. Yesterday's press conference, the
36:08
Speaker 2: President telling off the New York Times reporter, just talking
36:12
Speaker 2: about how they're living on their past reputation. They, as
36:15
Speaker 2: he said, they used to be the paper of record.
36:18
Speaker 2: They used to be all the news that's fit to print.
36:20
Speaker 2: They used to be the old Gray Lady or whatever
36:22
Speaker 2: they call it, was prestigious paper. Now it's just a partisan, crazy,
36:26
Speaker 2: fake news place. And you know, they cut costs there.
36:30
Speaker 2: They do this everywhere, but they cut costs. You know,
36:34
Speaker 2: it's not just The New York Times. A lot of
36:36
Speaker 2: places they don't have the same editors or fact checkers
36:38
Speaker 2: or proofreaders or any of that, so they make a
36:42
Speaker 2: lot of stupid mistakes. At the New York Times, here's
36:45
Speaker 2: one over the weekend. People, we just couldn't believe it. NATO, NATO,
36:50
Speaker 2: North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO. It's in the news, big thing.
36:54
Speaker 2: So the Time says a big story and the headline
36:56
Speaker 2: says North American Treaty Organisation. Of course it's the North Atlantic,
37:02
Speaker 2: but to put that in the headline, in those big,
37:05
Speaker 2: huge letters at the top of the page, North American
37:09
Speaker 2: Treaty Organization. New York Times just ridiculed online for something
37:14
Speaker 2: so silly, so amateurish. Here's one critic wrote, how embarrassing
37:19
Speaker 2: and sad for the New York Times. Now one of
37:22
Speaker 2: the reasons for that. In the good old days, you had,
37:25
Speaker 2: as I say, proofreaders, fact checkers, and these were older people.
37:28
Speaker 2: They'd been there at their times thirty forty years. They
37:30
Speaker 2: had bow ties and glasses, and well, now anybody. First
37:35
Speaker 2: of all, they got rid of most of those people.
37:36
Speaker 2: The few that they have, they're all like twenty somethings. They'
37:39
Speaker 2: getting three hundred dollars a week. They've got no experience,
37:42
Speaker 2: don't know much of anything. So that's how it happens.
37:45
Speaker 2: But President Trump certainly right to complain about them. Hey,
37:48
Speaker 2: coming up to the next hour, Hey, we'll get back
37:50
Speaker 2: to Stephen Colbert and what this all means, and we'll
37:54
Speaker 2: get to maybe the future of what late night should
37:57
Speaker 2: be right now it'll be game shows and that kind
37:59
Speaker 2: of stuff should they do after that, and we'll get
38:02
Speaker 2: to the eight o'clock deadline tonight and a whole lot more.
38:05
Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly will be with us in the next hour.
38:08
Speaker 2: Mark simone here every day ten to noon, or if
38:12
Speaker 2: you can't listen live, tend to just get the podcast.
38:14
Speaker 2: That way, you can listen to the show anytime you want,
38:16
Speaker 2: day or night. You can find it any place you
38:19
Speaker 2: get your podcasts. So we'll be back right after the
38:21
Speaker 2: news with another hour to go on seven to ten.
38:24
Speaker 2: Wo
