  Speaker 1: This is Mark Simon Show. I'm seventen wr well. Michael
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Goodwin the finest columnist in America. You can read his
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: column every Sunday and every Wednesday in the New York
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Post and all his columns a up on the New
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: York Post website. You should take a look at him.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: And he's with us now. Michael Goodwin, how you doing?
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Good morning? Mark?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Thank you read the column. You're not a big fan
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of the Iran deal, but then most people are not
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: big fans of the Iran deal. But it's just a
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: middle chapter, it's not the final chapter.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I think that's a positive way to look at it,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: is that, as I say at the he's the bottom
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: of the column, the president and Vice President have sixty
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: days to make it better. If they don't, then I
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: feel that there will be lots of criticisms that the
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: war was for not and it would be hard for
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: them to reaject trap.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you try to compare it to the people,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: try to compare it to the Obama deal. It's a
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: totally different situation. Obama didn't take out their military, didn't
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: destroy their nuclear reactor. And I mean, if we have
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to go back in, we go back in. But don't
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you think, I mean, you do think in the end
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: six months from that, we'll be very happy with what happened.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: You know, Mark, I supported the idea in the beginning.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I think that Trump was absolutely right that Iran was
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: not going to negotiate on seriously on the three big issues,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the nuclear, the missile programs, and of course the support
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: for Amas Hezbia on the other terror proxies. That's what
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the three reasons he gave for going to war, and
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: he and Israel made a plan to address each of
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: those things. And what it's really just pointing to see
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the President and the Vice President criticizing Israel for not
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: being happy with this deal. But one of the things
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: it does, it leads the missile program intact, what's left
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: of it. It doesn't really require the end of funding
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: for Hamas and Hesbela. And it now that basically saying
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: that if Israel attacks Hesbela, that's a violation of the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: cease fire, and then Iran free walkout on the negotiations,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and so America would be penalized by that. So I
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: think that there are some fundamental issues here that have
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: to be addressed, and attacking Israel I think is really
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the most disappointing part of the President and Vice president's
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: reaction to the criticism of the deal.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, he's been criticized for being too
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: close to Israel to uh live being the puppet of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: net and Yahoo. Maybe this is just for show, just
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to make it look like they're not on the same
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: page at all times.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: But that, to me, I think you could be right,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: But that to me shows they effectively giving into the left,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: which hates is real now and so the Republicans are
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the party that is keeping that alliance alive. And so
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I think it would be a big step backward if
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the Republicans start criticizing Israel the same way the Democrats do,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: that everything Israel does is genocide, you know, I mean
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: that's where the Democrats are.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. Speaking of these Democrats, this
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: hating the police, hating Israel, this anti Semitism, how could
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: they think even it might work in the short term,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: How could they think in the long term that a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: party can survive like that.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I think, Mark, it's not so much in the heel
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to the entire country as it is it's an in
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: house talking point for the left. And you know one
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: thing that I think would be informative for most people,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Mark is to sign up for the emails put out
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: by the Democratic Socialists of America, and you would see
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: how crazy they are, how much they hate the institutions
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of America that stand in their way of complete control
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: of the government and of society at large. So DSA
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: sign up, get their emails, and you will realize what's
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: at stake here with the Mamdani's of the world, with
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the elan Omars, the AOC, the Bernie Sanders, these people
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: are serious threats to our way of life. And here
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: we are, our two hundred and fiftieth birthday and they
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: don't like any of it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Democrats don't get too thrilled about this two hundred
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and fiftieth birthday, do they.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: No, of course not. It's it's it's a reminder of
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: all the things AA.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Now, Michael Goodwin, let me ask you the question of
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the hour. Barack Obama is this guy with great style.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: You could see it in the way he dresses. I've
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: seen pictures of his homes beautifully decorated. This museum that
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he built, when they showed him the drawings, How could
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: he have said, yeah, that looks good, do they What
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: was he thinking?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: It looks like a cement water tower or something like that.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just ugly and it just got this presumptive,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you know, elite arrogance about it. You know, it's like
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: a like a big religious foundation, their tower and teaching
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and and the way he speaks. I mean it's just look,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: he's got a lot more in common with Mamdanie than
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: he does sort of middle Americans. I mean, he's never
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: overcome that elite obsession with talking down to ordinary people,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: and that that is what's grown with the Democratic Party's
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: never come back from the sharp left turn that he made.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting. Hey, speaking abou Donnie, you and I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: both work on Sixth Avenue. He wants to have you
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: seen this plan. He wants to get put another bus lane,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: two bus lanes, two bike lanes. Sixth Avenue be down
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to one lane. They're talking about doing this for Park Avenue.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: What does he say, you just gridlock the whole city.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: What is this guy thinking, Yeah.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: They've done that to Marshall Avenue in the Bronx. I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: mean he used to be five lanes and hours two.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: It's just that is their anti car initiative. Now, they
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: did not start that. The Bloomberg people did. And it's
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: all part of assault on life as we know it. Right,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: whatever they inherited when they came into office, it's no good. Right,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: we have to change everything from day one, from the
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: tax system to what we're teaching the schools, to the highways,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the roadways, the sidewalks, the garbage scans have to be changed.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, this kind of it's never good. Whatever came
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: before them has to be destroyed. And of course that
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: this is the group that they go on taking down
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: statues of Christopher Columbus and people like that because it
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't fit with their warped view of America and even
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: American history.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a very good explanation. I never looked at them,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: but you're absolutely right. Michael Goodwin brilliant as always. Everybody
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: read his column its Sunday's columns in the New York Post.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: It's on the New York Post website. All of his
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: columns are there, and every Sunday and every Wednesday in
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the New York Post. Michael Goodwin, thanks for being with us.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Oh it's a pleasure. Thank you. Mark.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: All right, take care. Yeah, we'll get into that in
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the next hour. This is planned to reduce Sixth Avenue,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: so it'll be basically about one lane, two lane. It's preposterous.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, today's supposed to be a good
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: lack alert day, but wait till he starts doing this
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to sixth Avenue Park Avenue. It'll be that every day.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And so again, if you're thinking of coming in Manhattan today,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: don't drive in. It's going to be an absolute mess.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Forty Second Street will be closed. This is all World
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Cup stuff for you know people, Forty second would just
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: be nothing but buses closed to traffic. Hey, I know
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous, but it's going to be a mess today. Hey, noon,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Today it's Buck Sexton Clay Travis about to celebrate their
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: fifth anniversary. It's become a very big show. It's about
