  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Mark Simone. Welcome to the bonus segment just
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: for you podcast listeners. So Iran, the Democrats just raying,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: hoping it goes badly for the United States. I know,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: they'll do anything to win an election. They don't want
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: this to go well. And then they'll argue it's an
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: endless war. Yeah, it's like seven weeks now, endless war.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It's a war of choice. Well, every war is a
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: war of choice. So they'll argue anything and everything. The
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: problem is, even the great Democratic polster Mark Penn, who's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: probably the best polster, one of the wisest guys on
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the Democratic side, has tried to tell them you got
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to cut that out because defanging Iran, even if it's
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: not a complete, overwhelming, total surrendery, whatever it is, you've
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: really put Iran out of the terrorist business. They were
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the terrorist sponsor of the world. They were the ones
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: funding Hamas has below the hooties. Well that's all over
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: now they have no money. They're out of business as
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: far as producing oil. We've completely neutered them. Just that
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: alone outweighs the cost of war, outweighs everything. You know.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: The yell and screwmins are billion dollars a day. Yeah,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: at the end it'll whatever, It'll be sixty billion. That's
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: say it's one hundred billion. The benefits is Mark Penn,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the great Democratic posters, pointing out far outweigh the costs
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of war. You know, suddenly they're worried about spending money.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: The Democrats will waste money on anything and everything. Crazy mom,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Donnie here in New York. A lot of people starting
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to notice that it's mostly just talk. Now you've got
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to worry about crime and everything. He's got to make
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: sure to keep a lid on that and keep the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: NYPD strung. But when it comes to the other things,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: he's going to tax this. He's going to tax that.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: They don't know that they could actually get anything done.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: His grocery stores. You're not going to see these grocery stores.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: The original thing was one in each borough. Five grocery stores.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Now maybe one and the one he said it's twenty
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: twenty nine or something. You'll you'll never live to see
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: this grocery store. It will never happen. So privately they're
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: calling him the Potempkin Socialist. Remember Potempkin was. They created
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a whole fake thing. The village was just an illusion.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: It wasn't real. So Mom Donnie now known behind the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: scenes as the Potempkin Socialist. He'll keep talking about stuff
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and maybe once in a while, by accident, he'll get
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: one of them done, but most of it will never happen.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Even President Trump saying that privately to people after having
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: met with Mom Donnie, and nobody reads people better than Trump,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: he said. The good thing is privately he'd say the guys,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: guy's not brave, he's he has no courage, he's no guts.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: He'll talk and talk and talk, but he won't really
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: get that much done. Hey, Michael Jackson, the movie came out, Michael.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It's made over two hundred million already, but it's created
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of business for the Michael Jackson estate. Since
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the movie's out, Michael Jackson music sales are way up. Yeah, huge,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: huge increases in sales, singles, albums, streaming all booming. Currently,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: they're twelve Jackson songs in the iTunes Top one hundred.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It's about the same on Apple's top one hundred streaming.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Jackson also has more than a half a dozen albums
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: now in iTunes Top one hundred albums. It's pretty amazing.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So I mean a lot of relatives there that a state,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: very very happy Sharon Stone. Did you know she was
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a real whack job Sharon Stone. Sharon Stone is a
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: great actress, completely nuts in real life. Low IQ. She's
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: doing this interview Sharon Stone, and listen, you don't like Trump.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You don't like Trump. But she's explaining in the interview,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Trump photers are naive, they're uneducated. You know, they don't travel,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: they don't have passports. The actual data, this is one
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: thing about left wing Hollywood. You just spew the narrative
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. The actual day, the actual metrics show
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: just the opposite. Trump voters are not naive, they're pretty educated.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: They all travel, they got passports. But this is the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: way they think, this is this elitist Hollywood nonsense. Actually,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you know, by demographics, more conservative, more conservatives have passports
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: than liberals. The actual demographic, the actual numbers, more conservatives travel,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: more conservatives have passports. And by the way, you're going
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to be able to get a Donald Trump passport. It's
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a special edition coming out later this year. Now, I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: don't know how that works. I guess you'll you'd have
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to turn in your passport. I mean if you're lucky,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: your passport is expiring and you can get one of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: these Donald Trump passports with this picture as signature. But
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: otherwise I guess you'd have to exchange yours for that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: But I think they're only making a certain of only
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a few hundred thousand them. Obviously, no liberals are going
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to travel with that thing. You know this, Tucker Carlson
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: has gone crazy nuts, just became a wacko online. He's
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: become the new Alex Jones. But he's attacking Trump. He's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: bashing Trump like crazy. So the left loves him. They're
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: doing all kinds of interviews with him. New York Times
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: did a massive interview with Tucker Carlson this because he
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: hates Trump. Suddenly they're fascinated by Tucker Carlson. But they
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: didn't like this part of it. In the interview, he
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: talked about when you come into a room with Trump.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: He said he's spellbinding. He has a spellbinding quality. The
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: best part of the interview. I mean, first he said
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: he has a spell binding presence. It's kind of quality
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: that it's spellbinding. I think it probably literally is a spell.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: You spend a day with Trump and he puts you
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: in this kind of dreamland. It's like smoking hash or something.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It's interesting, very interesting. There may be a supernatural component
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: to it. This In the New York Times interview, best
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: part of the interview. They confronted him with things he
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: said about Trump. You actually called him the Antichrist, And
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I said, no that I didn't. I never said that,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and those words never actually came out of my mouth.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: So then they played him the video clip of him saying,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: but that's what happens when you get Trump arrangement syndrome.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It's one of the symptoms. You just spew out lies.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: You just lie and lie and lie. Somehow they think, well,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: if I'm lying about Trump, it's okay. Hey. You know,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: there were rumors it was kind of a myth for years.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Ted Turner created CNN many many years ago, early eighties.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: He creates CNN and he ran it, and he was
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: kind of, you know, he was an unbelievable entrepreneur, but
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: he was kind of a kind of a wacky side
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to him. And supposedly when he started CNN, it was
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the very first all news, twenty four hour day news network.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: There'd been no such thing before. If you wanted to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: watch the network News. You watched at six thirty. It
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: was over at seven, and he said, I come home
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: after seven. I get home at seven thirty. There's no news.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: He said. People should be able. We'll turn on the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: television INtime. They want to see the news. So it
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: was the first twenty four hour news channel. Obviously others
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: copied it, but he also made he secretly commissioned a
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: doomsday video because they said, how long is CNN going
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to last? He goes, it'll last till the end of time,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: till the end of the earth. We're going to be
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: on the So he commissioned a doomsday video and it
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: was meant to air only when the world came to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: an end. This is always the rumor, the myth, But
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: apparently they found it. It's actually been uncovered. I guess
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: it's being posted online. It's a very eerie video that
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: features military bands from the Armed forces performing Christian hymns
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and Nearer my God to thee But they found it
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: outside the network's original Atlanta headquarters. He had it made
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: right after the network started. But it does exist. I
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: think if you go online you can find it somewhere.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Hey in the Burger Wars Shake Shack had a rough time.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Shakes Shake Shack shares shook by sales shock. I try
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: saying that fast Shake Shack share shook by sale shock,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: but Shake's Shake Shack shares down thirty percent. Now they
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: claim it was due to bad weather, high beef prices,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: tourism declines. Bitter cold, rainy weather in January March kept
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: diners away, according I don't know if people stop eating
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: because it's cold out or it's snowing. I don't know.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: At the same time, McDonald's posts strong earnings. McDonald's shares
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: up two dollars and thirty eight cents. They're doing very,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: very well. In March, McDonald's launched the Big Arch. It's
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: like a big Mac, but it's great. It's more meat
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: less bread. It's delicious. It's I'm telling you, go to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: McDonald's get a Big Arch. It's enormous burger. You'll love it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: It's great. It was about seven to fifty I think
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: it's up to thirteen dollars now in some locations, but
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: selling very well now. You know. Pickleball is a big,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: big sport. Pickleball is becoming the national past time, especially
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: for senior citizens. Although I look at some of them numbers.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Apparently the average age of a pickleball player is something
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: like thirty nine. So but it's mostly a lot of
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: older people love it and they're building these pickleball courts everywhere.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: But a lot of towns want to stop it. You
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: take glen Cove, Long Island, Beautiful glen Cove and Long Island.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: They want to ban these pickleball courts from being built
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: because of the noise. It's a noisy sport. Even though
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you don't hit the ball very far, there's all that
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: banging and clanging, and so a number of you can
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: see other towns follow this. Now the know. The thing
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: is he had tennis courts. They're very big. So when
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you've got an area here, maybe you could put two
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: tennis courts. Now if you switch that to pickleball, you
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: could have eight pickleball courts. It's a lot more noise,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a lot more people, and if they're anywhere near a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: wealthy neighborhood, they all go crazy and they're trying to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: get these things banned. So starts in glen Coe. You
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: may see other cities ban their pickleball courts. Now, you know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: some people with this trump arrangement syndrome, are getting themselves
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: fired all over the place. Here's a Southwest Airlines flight attendant.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Actually it's a guy right after the White House correspondent.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Here the assassin was unsuccessful. This guy on TikTok, actually
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: originally on Facebook. It's the libs of TikTok picked it up.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: This Southwest Airlines flight attenant tweets we need better assassins.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: We've got to get better assassins. His name is Michael Carpino.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Pretty perverse. They found another thing where he posted eighty
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: six forty seven he called Maga the hillbilly isis. But Southwest,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: as they're aware of, these posts were a dressing the situation.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: While we don't comment on personnel matters, it does not
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: reflect our values and we take it seriously, not seriously
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: enough to get rid of the guy. But it is
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: a bad that. There was also a nurse who got
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: caught posting this kind of stuff, Cedars Sinai. I think
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: they actually got rid of her at that hospital. Hey,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: we're talking about of food chains. McDonald's shake Check. Who's
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the largest largest in America? Now? McDonald's is fourteen thousand
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: in America, fourteen thousand actually the world, fourteen thousand around
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the world. Imagine a business where you got to keep
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: track of fourteen thousand restaurants. But the biggest is Subway. Yeah,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, Subway nineteen thousand restaurants. But they're
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: closing a few. They just closed seven hundred, you know,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: but they've been closing through the years. Ten years ago,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: they had twenty seven thousand stores. Really everywhere. Look, I
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: see donald I don't see a Subway everywhere, but twenty
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: seven thousand stores. It's not bad. But Subway, let's be honest,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: it's not great. And I don't think anybody's going to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: ever hire their decorator. They are the worst looking places
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that I mean. They just look horrible when you walk in.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: You know, dunkin Donuts had that problem. Starbucks looked all
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: kind of sleek and modern and cool, and then the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: dunkin Donuts look terrible. Although I noticed they're rebuilding them
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: all now, modernizing and making them look a lot slicker.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: They're really good stores. They got much better coffee. But
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the best one of the best fast food burger chain
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: in and out in California. They say they're never coming
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to New York. They can't do business in New York.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: They can't make it work. It's just too difficult with
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the numbers, the rents, all that stuff. Hey, whatever happened
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: to Tiger Woods. Well, he's overseas. Remember he got permission
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to leave the country go overseas for rehab. Apparently he's
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: in very intense rehab. They say intense psychological treatment. Three
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: month long rehab center. It's a facility in Zurich, Switzerland.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: He's receiving physical and psychological attention, whatever the hell that means.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: He's making tremendous strides getting rid of his addictions. His
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: girlfriend is Vanessa Trump, ex wife of Donald Trump Junior.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: She's standing by him. She said, he's working with pain
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: management doctor, helping him deal with body pain. You know,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: for all his addiction to painkillers, he really was in
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: tremendous pain. So you can kind of understand how it happened,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: she says, a small number of people, Vanessa, the girlfriend,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: his kids, Mark Steinberg, have been there visiting him, have
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: been with him. Hey, the war in Ukraine, how much
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: is that costing Russia? Well, one hundred million a day,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: one hundred million a day. And this is what year,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: five year, five of the war in Russia. You never
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: hear about it anymore. The Ukraine War, you haven't heard
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: about it in months. They don't even pay attention anymore.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: But good for Ukraine. I mean, everybody thought the superpower
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Russia wipe mount in two seconds. For five years they've
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: held off Russia. Hey, we're out of time, but thanks
