Latest / The Mark Simone Show / Hour 2: Luigi Mangione's case.
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Back to Mark Simone on woor.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Well, I forget to today. If you're a Democrat, cover
- 0:14Speaker 2: your ears for a minute. Inflation numbers look pretty good.
- 0:17Speaker 2: New inflation reports coming up, coming out in the last
- 0:19Speaker 2: day or two looking pretty good. This inflation was expected
- 0:24Speaker 2: to rise, it did not. There's all kinds of good
- 0:27Speaker 2: news on the economy. That's why the stock market is
- 0:30Speaker 2: up a bit right now. Oil down. It's been dropping
- 0:33Speaker 2: like a dollar a gallon, a dollar a barrel for
- 0:37Speaker 2: the for the last couple of days. It's at eighty
- 0:39Speaker 2: dollars right now, which is not low, but it's not
- 0:41Speaker 2: real high either, So things are pretty good. Caroline Levitt,
- 0:46Speaker 2: as you know, leaving the White House, white House press
- 0:48Speaker 2: secretary of people asking why, Well, it's a tough job.
- 0:53Speaker 2: See a lot of things about this job you don't realize.
- 0:55Speaker 2: You see her at the podium there holding the daily
- 0:58Speaker 2: briefing for an hour. You know that's it. Well, the
- 1:01Speaker 2: job is twenty four to seven, and press secretaries will
- 1:04Speaker 2: tell you it is about the most grueling job in
- 1:07Speaker 2: the world. It's very intense. Obviously during that briefing where
- 1:12Speaker 2: you got those fake news vultures screaming at your clawing
- 1:15Speaker 2: at you. That's annoying. But the rest of the day,
- 1:17Speaker 2: you got to sit in meetings and you got to
- 1:19Speaker 2: go to every department, everything in everything, everything the present encounters.
- 1:25Speaker 2: You got to go sit in the meetings, learn everything,
- 1:27Speaker 2: sit through briefings with these departments. And then you get
- 1:30Speaker 2: phone calls at home day and night, twenty four to seven.
- 1:35Speaker 2: They'll wake up at three in the morning from a
- 1:37Speaker 2: situation room because they got to inform you of everything
- 1:40Speaker 2: that happened. Sophie. Iranians fire a missile at the base.
- 1:43Speaker 2: You get a call at three am saying here's something
- 1:46Speaker 2: you should know in case you're asked you they'll give
- 1:48Speaker 2: you all the details so it can be all day Saturday,
- 1:51Speaker 2: your phone is ringing with calls from various departments. I
- 1:54Speaker 2: want to give you all the latest that just happened.
- 1:57Speaker 2: And you know, she's twenty eight, she just had her
- 2:00Speaker 2: second child, little baby at home, and you're getting these
- 2:04Speaker 2: calls around the clock. Whatever you're trying to do on
- 2:07Speaker 2: the weekends, you're getting the call every half hour that
- 2:10Speaker 2: you got to take about something and the other thing.
- 2:12Speaker 2: It's a long job. It's you know, the White House.
- 2:16Speaker 2: These people get there like seven in the morning at
- 2:18Speaker 2: the White House. That's the whole thing about DC and government.
- 2:22Speaker 2: They're all up early, they go to sleep early. That's
- 2:25Speaker 2: why there's no nightlife in DC. Very little. There's very
- 2:28Speaker 2: few hot places, restaurants, and people are asleep by ten
- 2:33Speaker 2: o'clock and they're up at six or five. But it's
- 2:36Speaker 2: a tough tough job, especially with President Trump. He makes
- 2:40Speaker 2: it even tougher because he works long hours. So normally
- 2:43Speaker 2: if you could get out of there by five or six,
- 2:45Speaker 2: with President Trump at seven or eight before you get
- 2:48Speaker 2: out of there, and if you're a young mother and
- 2:50Speaker 2: you just had your second baby, a little baby, so
- 2:54Speaker 2: I can understand it. He's got a wealthy husband. She's
- 2:57Speaker 2: going to continue in politics. President Trump has said she'll
- 3:01Speaker 2: be an outside advisor. Now. Apparently what they want to
- 3:04Speaker 2: use her for is, I mean, he doesn't need a
- 3:08Speaker 2: lot of advice from her, but they want to use
- 3:10Speaker 2: her to help with election campaigns. Midterms are coming up.
- 3:15Speaker 2: A lot of people thought this was strange. You normally
- 3:18Speaker 2: would wait till after the midterms before you resign, But
- 3:22Speaker 2: some people think the President will be using her to
- 3:25Speaker 2: help out some of these candidates. Some of these campaigns
- 3:28Speaker 2: she'll probably help and volunteer with the RNC and work
- 3:32Speaker 2: with them so she can continue in politics, continuing government,
- 3:36Speaker 2: continue working, but it'll be part time now and have
- 3:39Speaker 2: time to spend with her new child. And she got
- 3:43Speaker 2: two kids now, one just a couple months old, so
- 3:46Speaker 2: it should work out for her. Hey, something's going on
- 3:49Speaker 2: with Luigi Mangione. You know, they had that hearing yesterday
- 3:52Speaker 2: and that was the final hearing before the trial which
- 3:55Speaker 2: would begin in September. So that was the final that
- 4:00Speaker 2: was it. That was to settle all the little disputes
- 4:04Speaker 2: about this and that before they begin trial in September.
- 4:07Speaker 2: But all of a sudden, now there's a hearing tomorrow.
- 4:10Speaker 2: There's going to be a hearing tomorrow. All of a sudden,
- 4:12Speaker 2: they called this new hearing, So most people think that
- 4:16Speaker 2: means a plea deal is coming, some kind of plea
- 4:19Speaker 2: deal is coming tomorrow. Luigi Mangione has all kinds of
- 4:23Speaker 2: arguments about this evidence should be allowed in this witness.
- 4:27Speaker 2: The kind of stuff butt every inch of Manhattan. It's
- 4:31Speaker 2: covered with surveillance cameras, every inch, So if you're doing
- 4:34Speaker 2: anything and we're in midtown Manhattan, the shooting was right
- 4:37Speaker 2: over there on that corner, and it's right next to
- 4:41Speaker 2: the New York Hilton, which is actually the biggest hotel
- 4:45Speaker 2: in New York and in Manhattan. And if you're anywhere
- 4:50Speaker 2: around there, you're on ten different surveillance cameras. So you
- 4:54Speaker 2: can see him shoot the hospitals, the healthcare CEO. You
- 4:58Speaker 2: can see the shooting, you can see him flee, you
- 5:01Speaker 2: can see the whole thing, this video of the whole thing.
- 5:04Speaker 2: So there's no possible way out of a conviction. So
- 5:08Speaker 2: that would explain why he's finally going to take a
- 5:10Speaker 2: plea deal, and the plea deal he's going to have
- 5:12Speaker 2: to plead guilty. The plea deal would have to do
- 5:17Speaker 2: with sentencing. So I mean, for this cold blooded assassination,
- 5:23Speaker 2: you're talking life in prison. A lot of states, you're
- 5:26Speaker 2: talking in the electric chair. So the plea deal has
- 5:29Speaker 2: got to be something less than life in prison or
- 5:32Speaker 2: some kind of accommodation in prison. But we'll find out
- 5:35Speaker 2: tomorrow they have this plea agreement, will be supposedly that's
- 5:41Speaker 2: what it is happening tomorrow. Hey, also tomorrow President Trump
- 5:45Speaker 2: goes to Long Island. It's going to be a big event.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Apparently there'd be like a thousand people in the audience.
- 5:50Speaker 2: He'll make a big speech. He'll say all kinds of
- 5:53Speaker 2: great things about Bruce Blakeman. He'll unveil all kinds of
- 5:56Speaker 2: crime statistics. He brought crime down nation, but he also
- 6:01Speaker 2: dramatically brought it down in Washington, DC. Blakeman has been
- 6:05Speaker 2: great with the crime in Nassau County. So we'll talk
- 6:08Speaker 2: about that. Peter King will be there with him, Joe Cairo,
- 6:12Speaker 2: a lot of VIPs coming in from all over to
- 6:14Speaker 2: be in that audience tomorrow. But remember it's going to
- 6:16Speaker 2: cause massive traffic headaches in Long Island. He'll be coming
- 6:20Speaker 2: to Kennedy Airport at two and then heading out to
- 6:24Speaker 2: this event which begins at three, and then I guess
- 6:27Speaker 2: leaving there four four point thirty. So a traffic nightmare
- 6:30Speaker 2: in Long Island. The event is near Eisenhower Parks. If
- 6:34Speaker 2: you're anywhere around that area, expect traffic headaches tomorrow. Hey,
- 6:40Speaker 2: speaking of crime, we had a great luncheon with Julie Menin.
- 6:43Speaker 2: She's the city council speaker. Now you got this crazy
- 6:48Speaker 2: mom Donnie Era and all this mom Donnie craziness. But
- 6:53Speaker 2: she she's a Democrat. But She's a very moderate, common sense,
- 6:58Speaker 2: level headed democrat. City council speaker is clearly the second
- 7:03Speaker 2: most powerful person in New York. Some would argue, in
- 7:06Speaker 2: many ways can be as powerful as the mayor, so
- 7:09Speaker 2: having her in there is a great thing. But she
- 7:12Speaker 2: went through the crime statistics. You remember yesterday we played
- 7:14Speaker 2: the commissioner, murder is down, crime is down, murder is down,
- 7:19Speaker 2: shooting is down. Well, as she pointed out, subway crime
- 7:24Speaker 2: is up, robbery is up, rape is up. Hate crimes
- 7:29Speaker 2: are skyrocketing, and the majority are Jewish hate crimes. So
- 7:35Speaker 2: there's a lot of work that needs to be done.
- 7:37Speaker 2: It's great that the murder is down and shooting is done,
- 7:40Speaker 2: but you got to get that subway crime down. How
- 7:42Speaker 2: do you do that? Well, the NYPD, they do great stuff,
- 7:46Speaker 2: but they don't have enough people. Cut the size of
- 7:49Speaker 2: the police department down, it's dangerously low. It's got to
- 7:53Speaker 2: be much much higher. So she's fighting for that to
- 7:55Speaker 2: get more cops. You know, Mom, Donnie is one of
- 7:58Speaker 2: those defund the police kind of idiots. But the city
- 8:02Speaker 2: council has a lot of power, so they can get
- 8:04Speaker 2: the funding. You may see more cops and that would
- 8:07Speaker 2: bring the other stuff down, not to mention, you gotta
- 8:11Speaker 2: have ICE. You gotta have ICE run around and get
- 8:14Speaker 2: the criminals off the street, many of them illegals. And
- 8:17Speaker 2: that's what's important now. You know, crazy Kathy Hochel and
- 8:22Speaker 2: the state legislature passed this law earlier this year that
- 8:29Speaker 2: nobody in the government, no county, no mayor, nobody's allowed
- 8:32Speaker 2: to cooperate with ICE. And of course it's the most ludicrous, stupid,
- 8:37Speaker 2: ridiculous thing you could ever pass, but that's the law. Now,
- 8:40Speaker 2: you can't cooperate with ICE. Nasau County under Bruce Blakeman
- 8:45Speaker 2: extreme cooperation with ICE. They partner with ICE to help
- 8:49Speaker 2: get the illegals off their streets. That's one reason crime
- 8:51Speaker 2: has come way down in Nassau County. So when the
- 8:55Speaker 2: President comes tomorrow to speak at this event at the
- 8:59Speaker 2: Nasau County Police Academy, he's going to address that Blakeman,
- 9:04Speaker 2: smart guy, he'd be a great governor, found ways to
- 9:07Speaker 2: still work with ICE even with that law, to still
- 9:10Speaker 2: cooperate because they want to get their illegal criminals off
- 9:13Speaker 2: the street. So the President will address that tomorrow. He's
- 9:16Speaker 2: also apparently going to really let Mom Donnie have it
- 9:20Speaker 2: for that Pieta tear tax, the world's dumbest tax, This
- 9:24Speaker 2: stupid Pieta tear tax. They try this every so often,
- 9:27Speaker 2: these Democrats. Remember about ten years ago, maybe it was
- 9:31Speaker 2: more fifteen years ago. Remember they were going to tax
- 9:33Speaker 2: the private jet owners. That was the big thing back then.
- 9:36Speaker 2: They're going to tax those private jet owners. It was
- 9:40Speaker 2: a big crusade for like six months until they kind
- 9:43Speaker 2: of realized if you're going to go after the private
- 9:46Speaker 2: general it's like seventy five people, it's not enough to
- 9:49Speaker 2: mean anything. You don't raise much money from. This same
- 9:52Speaker 2: thing with the Pieta tear tax, first pushed by Andrew Cuomo.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Remember was Andrew Culoma that began pushing this Pieta tear texts.
- 10:01Speaker 2: But if you went after these Pieta tears, it's not
- 10:04Speaker 2: that many, you know. It was estimated seventeen thousand. So
- 10:08Speaker 2: they posted all the names and addresses online and the
- 10:12Speaker 2: name's posted with nine hundred thousand. Well that's everybody in
- 10:15Speaker 2: New York. It's ridiculous. It's every apartment owner practically. So
- 10:20Speaker 2: at first it was thought to be only seventeen thousand.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Now it's probably going to be a lot less than that.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Because they've made a lot of mistakes on that list. Hey,
- 10:28Speaker 2: speaking to mom, Donnie's going on vacation now, the crazy
- 10:32Speaker 2: wife is taking a vacation in Syria, Lebanon. He says
- 10:36Speaker 2: he's taking a vacation upstate, upstate New York. Well where upstate, Well,
- 10:45Speaker 2: he won't say. He will not say where he's going
- 10:48Speaker 2: upstate the vacation and what is it a vacation from what?
- 10:52Speaker 2: Does he do all day vacation from what? But it'll
- 10:57Speaker 2: be August sixteenth, when is that? That's Sunday. It'll be
- 11:03Speaker 2: August sixteenth through the twenty third. So he's taking next
- 11:07Speaker 2: week off. Next week he'll be off. First Deputy Mayor
- 11:10Speaker 2: Dean Fulahan will run day to day operations, which he
- 11:15Speaker 2: does already. Fulahan was the deputy mayor under Bill Deblasio,
- 11:21Speaker 2: So you'll see that kind of stuff. Mom, Donnie declined
- 11:25Speaker 2: to say exactly where he was headed. Now, what do
- 11:28Speaker 2: you think his idea of upstate is? That's probably the
- 11:31Speaker 2: bronx oh for him, upstate the Yonkers, that's really upstate
- 11:34Speaker 2: for him. Some people argue, believe it or not. The
- 11:38Speaker 2: real New Yorkers argue that once you're in Westchester, you're
- 11:41Speaker 2: already upstate.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Now.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Of course, if you're in Westchester, that's not upstate to you.
- 11:46Speaker 2: That you're just outside. You're in the New York suburbs,
- 11:49Speaker 2: is what it is. But when he says upstate, no, now,
- 11:55Speaker 2: some think this wacko mom Donnie his political future. He's not.
- 12:01Speaker 2: He wasn't born in the US. He wasn't born in America,
- 12:03Speaker 2: so he can't run for president under the law. Some
- 12:06Speaker 2: think senator. But who knows, maybe governor. Maybe he's going upstate.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Maybe really is going upstate. You know, if you want
- 12:13Speaker 2: to be governor, you got to really explore upstate and
- 12:15Speaker 2: know it. Well, maybe that's why he's headed there. Who
- 12:18Speaker 2: knows he's NYPD NYPD detail will go with him. This
- 12:25Speaker 2: guy's a big, big, big TikToker. So imagine we'll be
- 12:29Speaker 2: seeing a lot of stuff on TikTok from his upstate vacation.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Just be prepared in mourning. You now, you're going to
- 12:36Speaker 2: see him in one of those lumberjack shirts. You're going
- 12:39Speaker 2: to see him kayaking, You're going to see that kind
- 12:41Speaker 2: of stuff. Probably knowing this phony TikToker. New York magazine,
- 12:47Speaker 2: you remember New York Magazine. Everybody used to read New
- 12:49Speaker 2: York Magazine. You go back to the eighties, the nineties,
- 12:53Speaker 2: New York Magazine. It was the greatest writers in the world.
- 12:57Speaker 2: It was Gay t Lease, it was Pete Hamill, who
- 12:59Speaker 2: was Jimmy Breslin. It was the most prestigious magazine, the
- 13:03Speaker 2: great food critic, Gale Green. People couldn't wait your kids today.
- 13:08Speaker 2: We didn't have any Instagram. We had to wait for
- 13:10Speaker 2: New York Magazine to find out what to eat, where
- 13:13Speaker 2: to go, and to read all this great stuff. If
- 13:18Speaker 2: you're twenty two, you don't know what the hell I'm
- 13:19Speaker 2: talking about. They're going, what's a magazine? A magazine it
- 13:25Speaker 2: was printed, it came in the mail or you went
- 13:29Speaker 2: to the news stand and bought it. And every Monday
- 13:32Speaker 2: would come out and read the restaurant stuff and know
- 13:35Speaker 2: where all the hot new restaurants were. But New York
- 13:38Speaker 2: Magazine it was always a little left wing. You know,
- 13:40Speaker 2: Pete Hamill, Jimmy Breslan, these were left wing guys. It
- 13:46Speaker 2: was always a little left wing. But the divide wasn't
- 13:48Speaker 2: that big back then. Well now there's still a New
- 13:51Speaker 2: York Magazine. It's a website. New York Magazine. It is
- 13:54Speaker 2: now the most slanted, left wing biased thing in the world,
- 14:01Speaker 2: and it turns out it's looking pretty anti semitic. Now,
- 14:05Speaker 2: they do this cover story this week just totally smears
- 14:08Speaker 2: the Jewish people of New York. Supposedly the cover story
- 14:13Speaker 2: is to celebrate Arab culture. But this tone deaf, anti
- 14:18Speaker 2: semitic New York magazine hit piece. If you start reading this,
- 14:22Speaker 2: it's it's supposed to be about Arab culture celebration. It's
- 14:26Speaker 2: got so much stuff in there, Israeli genocide of Palestinians,
- 14:32Speaker 2: refers to the Jewish state as a mere land mass
- 14:36Speaker 2: currently called Israel. Apparently they're getting a lot of backlash.
- 14:40Speaker 2: I mean, now, listen, obviously these left wing, crazy biased,
- 14:43Speaker 2: left wing New York magazine, they're going to be a
- 14:46Speaker 2: little anti Semitic, but this, I mean, it's just over
- 14:49Speaker 2: the top anti semitism from New York magazine. Good to
- 14:53Speaker 2: see they're getting a lot of backlash for it. You
- 14:55Speaker 2: remember the use to talk about a dog whistles, President Trump,
- 14:59Speaker 2: it's a dog whistle. Certainly these people, it's like a
- 15:02Speaker 2: factory whistle to everybody. They don't hold back on this. Hey,
- 15:06Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next eight hundred three to two
- 15:09Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number. Give me a call,
- 15:13Speaker 2: especially if you've never called before. We always like new callers.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten Live
- 15:20Speaker 2: from the w R Life Back Studios.
- 15:23Speaker 4: No mark them own show.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Uh Bob
- 15:32Speaker 2: in Naples, Florida. Bob, how you doing?
- 15:37Speaker 5: I'm good Mark.
- 15:38Speaker 6: Uh. Look, if you don't want to talk about a subject,
- 15:40Speaker 6: you don't have to hang up on someone.
- 15:41Speaker 2: You could just you know, let's go to Joe in Florida. Joe,
- 15:46Speaker 2: how you doing?
- 15:48Speaker 3: Like, good morning? Look, I'm just yeah.
- 15:51Speaker 2: We didn't wake you, did we?
- 15:54Speaker 3: No. No. The Iranian, particularly with the straits of hour moves,
- 15:59Speaker 3: is starting to sound Jackie Mason, you're not wrong, you know.
- 16:07Speaker 3: That's what it sounds like to me. It's just getting frustrated.
- 16:10Speaker 2: Well, you're right, our old friend Jackie Mason, if you're around,
- 16:13Speaker 2: that's what he would. He'd say, they got a piece
- 16:15Speaker 2: of agreement. Now they don't have a piece of agreement.
- 16:18Speaker 6: Exact.
- 16:19Speaker 2: There's what do you call that? The memo of understanding? Yeah,
- 16:22Speaker 2: you're right, it's open. It's not open. It's open again
- 16:26Speaker 2: now it's not.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Well.
- 16:30Speaker 2: But let me ask you something. Is this a bad strategy?
- 16:32Speaker 2: This It keeps Iran tied up with this instead of
- 16:35Speaker 2: funding Hezbeala hoodies and h Well, you.
- 16:38Speaker 3: Know, I love President Trump and I trust them, so
- 16:41Speaker 3: I imagine there's some strategy behind it. It's just that
- 16:44Speaker 3: we're not aware of it. It's the public. We'll just
- 16:47Speaker 3: see it dragging on and on, you know, and it's frustrating.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Well, but you know, the truth is, if you look
- 16:51Speaker 2: at all sorts of focus group surveys, does like eighty
- 16:54Speaker 2: percent of America doesn't even care. They'reenough following Iran. It's
- 16:57Speaker 2: not an issue for them, you know, the left wing crazy,
- 17:00Speaker 2: but most Americans, yeah, really are not paying any attention
- 17:03Speaker 2: to the Iran war. But you got a good point,
- 17:06Speaker 2: thanks for recalling. Yeah, it's straight. Oh hor moose, it's open.
- 17:09Speaker 2: It's not open. It was open, it might be open,
- 17:12Speaker 2: it could be open. Anyway, Where is President Trump?
- 17:14Speaker 4: I don't trust her on Why are you saying I
- 17:16Speaker 4: trust her? Rud I'm the last person to trust her,
- 17:19Speaker 4: as they've lied to me constantly. We have total control
- 17:23Speaker 4: over the Harmo Strait right now. They don't have control.
- 17:26Speaker 4: We have total control.
- 17:27Speaker 2: We own it. But again, Jackie Mason, we have total control.
- 17:31Speaker 2: It's not open, but we have total control. Let's go
- 17:33Speaker 2: to March in Manhattan. March. How you doing good?
- 17:38Speaker 1: Thank you? Mark, a long time listener, first time caller.
- 17:42Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about Montdamie's presence at nine to eleven. Yes,
- 17:46Speaker 1: he chooses what he wants to go to. He won't
- 17:50Speaker 1: go to the Columbus Day parade. He won't go to
- 17:52Speaker 1: the Israeli Day parade. He wants to go to nine
- 17:55Speaker 1: to eleven because to the victor goes the spoils the
- 17:59Speaker 1: same way that wanted a mosque on that sacred ground.
- 18:04Speaker 1: He's there, God forgive me to take a victory lap.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Well, that's an interesting theory. Interesting theory, Marg, Yeah, I
- 18:12Speaker 2: don't know what he's doing there. The families have all
- 18:15Speaker 2: signed the petition telling him not to come. The families
- 18:19Speaker 2: have all said they will turn their back on him.
- 18:22Speaker 2: It'll be an ugly picture. But who knows. In his
- 18:25Speaker 2: scheming mind, maybe it's a picture he feels will help
- 18:28Speaker 2: him with his base of crazy anti Semites and whatever,
- 18:33Speaker 2: So who knows what he's really plotting. Let's go to
- 18:36Speaker 2: sal and Plainfield. Sal how you doing, Hey.
- 18:39Speaker 5: Mark, great show so far. I have a question with
- 18:43Speaker 5: the rise of you know, the socialism and the left
- 18:47Speaker 5: rising again, how do you think Air America if they
- 18:52Speaker 5: launched today, how would they be doing? If you know
- 18:55Speaker 5: the radio network Air America.
- 18:56Speaker 2: They'll always do badly because Air America was a disaster.
- 19:01Speaker 2: They picked all the wrong people. They picked Al Frank
- 19:05Speaker 2: and you know we've talked like this on the radio
- 19:07Speaker 2: all day long, and to jazz it up, the co
- 19:10Speaker 2: host was this whispering woman from NPR, you know, one
- 19:14Speaker 2: of those NPR types that talks like that. Yeah, they
- 19:16Speaker 2: stink at talk radio. Your problem. I'll tell you why
- 19:20Speaker 2: Air America. Whenever they try a liberal network it doesn't work.
- 19:23Speaker 2: And why is that? Because if you're a conservative and
- 19:27Speaker 2: or you're you know, a Republican or something, you want
- 19:30Speaker 2: to hear things that you would like, you put on
- 19:33Speaker 2: talk radio, you put on Fox News, or you put
- 19:35Speaker 2: on Newsmax. That's it. That's basically, those are your three choices.
- 19:40Speaker 2: If you're a liberal, you got sixty million choices. You
- 19:43Speaker 2: can put on anything. You watch CBSABC, NBC, read The
- 19:46Speaker 2: New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, there's no n NPR.
- 19:51Speaker 2: You can watch a million things, so there's no reason
- 19:56Speaker 2: to have a liberal talk rat They don't need it.
- 19:58Speaker 2: They got everything else in the world. And that NPR
- 20:01Speaker 2: is liberal talk radio, very left wing talk radio that
- 20:05Speaker 2: does very well. You know that NPR radio in the ratings,
- 20:08Speaker 2: it rates very high. So that's their talks. And that
- 20:11Speaker 2: was the problem with Air America. Nobody needed it. You
- 20:14Speaker 2: just put on NPR. You want to hear liberal talk,
- 20:16Speaker 2: you want to hear Trump bashing, you just put on NPR. Hey,
- 20:20Speaker 2: if you go back and listen to Air America, that
- 20:23Speaker 2: was two thousand and four. Around there, it's all Bush bashing.
- 20:27Speaker 2: It was the same thing they used to call it.
- 20:29Speaker 2: They actually called it Bush derangement syndrome. And I think
- 20:33Speaker 2: it was Charles Crowdhammer that came up with the name
- 20:35Speaker 2: Bush derangement syndrome. And that's what they would do. Whatever
- 20:38Speaker 2: Bush did, they would attack it, anything he said did,
- 20:41Speaker 2: whatever he did, they would attack it all day. And
- 20:44Speaker 2: they let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
- 20:47Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark Mark. Two years ago, when this kid
- 20:50Speaker 7: Luigi Mangoni got busted in December twenty twenty four, everybody's
- 20:56Speaker 7: going on. He's going to get the death penalty. He's
- 20:59Speaker 7: going to die in jail. I'm saying it right now.
- 21:02Speaker 7: I said it then, and I'm going to say it again.
- 21:04Speaker 7: They're gonna give him twenty to twenty five years, and
- 21:07Speaker 7: he's going to be out of the joint between sixteen
- 21:10Speaker 7: and seventeen years. This is the reason why in these
- 21:14Speaker 7: extreme cases like this nuts several of these nut jobs
- 21:18Speaker 7: that kill their family or whatever, they'll give them three
- 21:22Speaker 7: or four consecutive life sentences, so they make sure that
- 21:26Speaker 7: you die in jail. With this kid's lawyers and this
- 21:30Speaker 7: kid's Paul, he's gonna get twenty to twenty five and
- 21:34Speaker 7: he's going to be out after sixteen. Mark and I
- 21:37Speaker 7: have experience in this. Erda Wan of Turkey was part
- 21:41Speaker 7: of the setup to assassinate Donald Trump because Erdawan, even
- 21:48Speaker 7: though he's a Turkey's a NATO member, they wouldn't let
- 21:52Speaker 7: us use their airspace when our forces were attacking Iran
- 21:59Speaker 7: from the air. Yeah, Ernawan in twenty sixteen, and you
- 22:03Speaker 7: did see it in this country because of the fake news.
- 22:06Speaker 7: I saw it on Italian news. His opponents, his political opponents,
- 22:11Speaker 7: were great gaining tracshit on him. Right, So what he
- 22:15Speaker 7: did one night he staged a fake WHUDTA so we
- 22:19Speaker 7: could go around and arrest all of the people who
- 22:23Speaker 7: were his opposition. This guy is a bad guy.
- 22:27Speaker 2: I agree. Nobody Trustswana and I'm.
- 22:29Speaker 7: Sure Trump's CIA knows that he's behind you know, he.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Knows, you know, Vincent, We got to go through the news.
- 22:36Speaker 2: But good point, excellent call. Thanks for calling. Hey, when
- 22:39Speaker 2: we come back the hunt for Steve Moore, I'll bet
- 22:42Speaker 2: he shows up today. Well, we'll talk to Steve Hey
- 22:45Speaker 2: with an inflation report. Pretty interesting. We'll talk about that
- 22:48Speaker 2: in a whole lot more coming up on seven to
- 22:50Speaker 2: ten WR the Mark Simone Show on sevent way with
- 22:58Speaker 2: Right Now. That yeah, brilliant with Steve Moore. Get his

- 23:24Speaker 6: How you doing, Hey, Mark, I'm doing well, by the
- 23:27Speaker 6: way that you know, We've got some really good news
- 23:29Speaker 6: on the economy this week.
- 23:31Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:31Speaker 6: Obviously, the stock markets through the roof, and then you know,
- 23:33Speaker 6: the consumer price in deck showed just a slight increase
- 23:37Speaker 6: in prices in the month of July, bringing the overall
- 23:40Speaker 6: inflation rate found close to three percent. And then we
- 23:43Speaker 6: got the producer price indecks that came out just very
- 23:46Speaker 6: recently showing who was flat in other words, no increase
- 23:50Speaker 6: in prices. And if when when producer prices come down,
- 23:53Speaker 6: as you know, Mark, that means that you know, consumer
- 23:56Speaker 6: prices usually follow because those those same get passed on
- 24:00Speaker 6: to consumer. So that's good news. We've got a lot
- 24:03Speaker 6: of investment coming in the country. We got a lot
- 24:06Speaker 6: of going on in manufacturing construction. So feeling good about
- 24:10Speaker 6: things were we As I said last week on your show,
- 24:12Speaker 6: I'll say it again, we have the best economy in
- 24:14Speaker 6: the world right now of all the major countries, and
- 24:17Speaker 6: yet consumers aren't feeling the love.
- 24:20Speaker 2: Well, that's because you can give all that great news.
- 24:23Speaker 2: And I was watching Cuddlo yesterday and he gave all
- 24:25Speaker 2: this great economic news, great inflation reportment. Then I watched
- 24:28Speaker 2: the CBS, NBC, ABC evening News. All I hear is
- 24:31Speaker 2: affordability crisis. Yeah, right, what do you do about it?
- 24:35Speaker 6: Even there? Even then, let me let me tell you
- 24:38Speaker 6: a kind of interesting statistic. So four years ago, exactly
- 24:43Speaker 6: four years ago this month, do you know what do
- 24:45Speaker 6: you want to think? I guess what the inflation rate
- 24:47Speaker 6: was four years ago under Biden at this.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Month in this month six percent? Nine Well noe.
- 24:56Speaker 6: So we're at three percent today and we were at
- 24:58Speaker 6: nine percent. You know, it's the highest rate of inflation
- 25:01Speaker 6: we had since Jimmy Carter was president. And so if
- 25:04Speaker 6: you're angry about prices, yeah, the guy to blame was
- 25:07Speaker 6: that was Biden.
- 25:08Speaker 2: You know that.
- 25:09Speaker 6: The food prices went way up, medical care prices went up,
- 25:12Speaker 6: housing prices went way up. Uh. You know even undergy
- 25:15Speaker 6: prices were higher on average under under Biden than Trump.
- 25:19Speaker 6: So you know, I get it. The people are under
- 25:21Speaker 6: about affordability. The people my family are upset about it.
- 25:25Speaker 6: But I think the villain really here is is Biden.
- 25:28Speaker 6: And as we and by the way, I want to
- 25:29Speaker 6: do a nod to uh to Kevin Warsh, who's the
- 25:32Speaker 6: FED chairman who's off to a great start. That The
- 25:35Speaker 6: Law Street Journal had a very good editorial about this.
- 25:37Speaker 6: You know, they were saying, Oh, he's going to just
- 25:39Speaker 6: you know, run up the money supply for Trump. No,
- 25:41Speaker 6: he's he's getting inflation down, which is exactly what he
- 25:45Speaker 6: promised he would do. I think he's you're going to
- 25:47Speaker 6: be an inflation hawk. Keep keep prices stable, and that's
- 25:51Speaker 6: that's what we want from the Fed.
- 25:53Speaker 2: Well, now, besides inflation, good numbers and prices down. Aren't
- 25:57Speaker 2: wages up since the Biden days?
- 26:00Speaker 6: Yes, yes they are. So if you look at our report,
- 26:03Speaker 6: people should go to our own leased Prosperity Report. We
- 26:05Speaker 6: have the monthly numbers and what's happened to median income
- 26:10Speaker 6: in the United States. So those people, you know, right
- 26:13Speaker 6: exactly in the middle of the income spectrum. And do
- 26:15Speaker 6: you know what the media and income in the United
- 26:17Speaker 6: States is today for a household?
- 26:19Speaker 2: I have no idea.
- 26:21Speaker 6: Just take a while.
- 26:22Speaker 2: Guess eighty thousand dollars.
- 26:26Speaker 6: Yeah, you're pretty close eighty but you're too low. It's
- 26:29Speaker 6: actually eighty six thousand, five hundred dollars. So that's a
- 26:32Speaker 6: remarkable number because in most countries in the world, mark
- 26:37Speaker 6: if you have eighty six thousand, five hundred dollars, you're
- 26:39Speaker 6: pretty rich.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Now, Steve Moore. There's also these studies that show, you know,
- 26:45Speaker 2: when people, you know, getting squeezed and the financial that
- 26:49Speaker 2: the biggest expense they have is taxes now, which we've
- 26:52Speaker 2: never had that situation before where taxes.
- 26:54Speaker 6: Yeah, we had something again on our highline about this
- 26:57Speaker 6: that if you take the taxes on average that a
- 27:00Speaker 6: family pays, it is more than they pay for housing, food,
- 27:04Speaker 6: and healthcare combined.
- 27:06Speaker 2: What That's ridiculous.
- 27:09Speaker 6: Absolute iculo. It's the number one expenditure of a family
- 27:12Speaker 6: today is the taxes that we pay.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Unbelievable. And we've never been in that situation before ever
- 27:19Speaker 2: in this country, have you?
- 27:21Speaker 6: So now that's the average. Some people pay less than that.
- 27:24Speaker 6: Obviously some people pay more, and obviously the rich pay
- 27:27Speaker 6: a lot of taxes. But when you think about it,
- 27:30Speaker 6: you know, are you getting your money's worth? Folks? I
- 27:32Speaker 6: mean I don't think I am no.
- 27:34Speaker 2: And when they talk about raising taxes, raising revenue New York,
- 27:39Speaker 2: it's a spending problem. They overspend like crazy. When you
- 27:44Speaker 2: try to fix that, like Elon Musk, did you get
- 27:46Speaker 2: run out of town? So how do you ever fix
- 27:49Speaker 2: that government spending? It will never cure that, will we.
- 27:51Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you're making a really good point. And you
- 27:54Speaker 6: know when they keep talking about raising taxes to deal
- 27:58Speaker 6: with this, and that's what the left is saying, Yeah,
- 27:59Speaker 6: that's the Reade tax. This guy, that guy, that guya Menut.
- 28:02Speaker 6: First of all, as you know we've talked about this
- 28:04Speaker 6: week after week on your show, there's no revenue problem
- 28:06Speaker 6: in Washington. We have plenty of revenues. It's just we're spending.
- 28:10Speaker 6: We have record amounts of revenues. In fact, it's just
- 28:12Speaker 6: the spending goes up so fast. And so if you
- 28:15Speaker 6: think you're going to solve this problem that we have,
- 28:18Speaker 6: the overspending and debt problem we have in Washington, which
- 28:20Speaker 6: is a real curse, if you think you're going to
- 28:23Speaker 6: solve that by just raising taxes, it ain't gonna work.
- 28:26Speaker 6: I mean, Reagan said this best in the early nineteen
- 28:29Speaker 6: eighties when he was president. He said, you know, raising
- 28:32Speaker 6: taxes to solve a debt problem is like you know,
- 28:35Speaker 6: giving an alcoholic another drink.
- 28:38Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good way to put it. Hey, Also,
- 28:43Speaker 2: the green scheme never goes away. In Europe, they finally
- 28:48Speaker 2: started tearing down the windmills that got rid of the
- 28:50Speaker 2: solar panels. It doesn't work. But why is New York
- 28:52Speaker 2: State destroying taking away farms and just covering them with
- 28:56Speaker 2: solar panels. What is that all about?
- 29:00Speaker 6: Well, the good news is the trend is really dramatically
- 29:03Speaker 6: in favor of producing them as much energy as we
- 29:06Speaker 6: can here, and that includes our you know, nuclear power.
- 29:10Speaker 6: We want to, of course produce more oil, more gas.
- 29:12Speaker 6: I think we should be producing more coal in this country.
- 29:15Speaker 6: And coal was at one time in America our number
- 29:18Speaker 6: one source of energy was what created and really powered
- 29:21Speaker 6: the big movement in the American economy, and the Industrial
- 29:25Speaker 6: Revolution was powered by coal. We want to have clean coal,
- 29:28Speaker 6: and we do have clean coal, So let's use it all.
- 29:31Speaker 6: Let's use our oil or gas, our coal, and nuclear power.
- 29:34Speaker 6: You know, when appropriate, we can use solar and wind.
- 29:36Speaker 6: But you know, i'd laugh because you know, so many
- 29:39Speaker 6: of your listeners are there right in the state of
- 29:41Speaker 6: New York. You know, Kathy Hochl on the one has
- 29:43Speaker 6: no more data centers, no, no, and we can't have
- 29:45Speaker 6: data centers here, blah blah blah, and then she wants
- 29:48Speaker 6: to pave over half you know, half of the state
- 29:50Speaker 6: with solar panel and you're thinking all this prime farm
- 29:54Speaker 6: land and down an upstate New York out of circulation
- 29:57Speaker 6: so they can build solar powers. Does that make any sense?
- 30:00Speaker 6: By the way, I've been up to Satan, New York.
- 30:02Speaker 6: The sun doesn't shine all that much. I don't know
- 30:05Speaker 6: if the solar panels are going to get that much energy.
- 30:08Speaker 2: Hey, speak of those data centers. We've had these data
- 30:11Speaker 2: centers in parts of America now for many, many, many,
- 30:15Speaker 2: many months. What's the impact? I mean, is it ruin
- 30:19Speaker 2: these counties? Does it helped the counties that have them?
- 30:22Speaker 6: So that's so interesting you should answer ask me that
- 30:25Speaker 6: question because Mark, on Tuesday night of this week, we
- 30:29Speaker 6: did a focus group in a Cole Pepper, Virginia, which
- 30:32Speaker 6: is a kind of rural agricultural town about fifty miles
- 30:36Speaker 6: outside of DC, and we had about twenty people. Most
- 30:40Speaker 6: of them were either retirees or working class folks, very
- 30:42Speaker 6: nice people, and we asked them about data centers and
- 30:45Speaker 6: what do you think of them? And oh my gosh,
- 30:47Speaker 6: the hostility was unbelievable. And actually they have several data
- 30:51Speaker 6: centers already col Pepper. Oh, no, these people are trying
- 30:54Speaker 6: to rob our future, and there's too much noise and
- 30:56Speaker 6: they're using too much water, and you know, I'm thinking,
- 31:00Speaker 6: and then I said, do you want do you know
- 31:02Speaker 6: why we have data centers? Everybody kind of they didn't
- 31:04Speaker 6: know why do we have done it? Well? Do you
- 31:06Speaker 6: like your cell phone?
- 31:07Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 31:07Speaker 6: I love my cell phone. I can't live without that.
- 31:09Speaker 6: Do you like the Internet? Yeah, I can't live with that.
- 31:11Speaker 6: Do you like GPS? Yeah?
- 31:12Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 31:12Speaker 6: Yeah. Well people don't realize without the data centers, mark
- 31:16Speaker 6: those things don't work. It's like you know sometimes when
- 31:19Speaker 6: you're when you go to in an area and you
- 31:22Speaker 6: don't get cell coverage, you know, and it just makes
- 31:25Speaker 6: you so angry. Well, we're going to lose our cell
- 31:27Speaker 6: coverage and things like that if we don't build these
- 31:30Speaker 6: data centers. But we better build them where people want them,
- 31:34Speaker 6: you know. So if a community says, now we don't
- 31:35Speaker 6: want them, like I think the cocos say no more
- 31:38Speaker 6: data centers in New York, I mean that's crazy. Data
- 31:42Speaker 6: centers are the heartbeat of the then the ignition switch
- 31:46Speaker 6: to our technology age. And if we don't build them,
- 31:49Speaker 6: you know who will build them?
- 31:50Speaker 2: China? But the left always has to have one of
- 31:55Speaker 2: these demons. One of these it was nuclear plants ten
- 31:58Speaker 2: years and fifty, yeah, exactly.
- 32:00Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
- 32:01Speaker 6: You know what's so interesting about this mark is that,
- 32:05Speaker 6: you know a lot of these kind of communities, rural
- 32:07Speaker 6: communities that you know, have sort of passed their prime
- 32:10Speaker 6: and people have been leaving. They're trying to bring businesses back,
- 32:12Speaker 6: and they're trying to bring some economic development back, you know.
- 32:15Speaker 6: They what they're doing a lot of these you know,
- 32:18Speaker 6: little towns across America that are in decline is they're
- 32:20Speaker 6: building prisons in these you know, because that does provide
- 32:24Speaker 6: construction jobs and car jobs and things like that. And
- 32:26Speaker 6: I'm like, wait a minute, you'd rather have a maximum
- 32:29Speaker 6: security prison in your area rather than the data center.
- 32:35Speaker 2: These data centers they actually do employ a lot of people.
- 32:37Speaker 2: I've seen some pictures with them. Oh yeah, They've got
- 32:39Speaker 2: like a thousand car parking lot some of these data centers, and.
- 32:43Speaker 6: Well they well, especially during the construction phases of them.
- 32:46Speaker 6: They you know, when we visit the data center at
- 32:48Speaker 6: in Loudon County, I mean I've never seen so many
- 32:50Speaker 6: construction trucks and hard hat you know, guys that are
- 32:53Speaker 6: making seventy five hundred bucks an hour, and so, but
- 32:57Speaker 6: when you go in the data center that itself, there
- 33:00Speaker 6: aren't a lot of employees. They're like big warehouses with
- 33:03Speaker 6: massive amounts of computers and stuff. And I was listening
- 33:06Speaker 6: to one of these opponents of data center saying, oh,
- 33:10Speaker 6: you know, we can't have because all the construction jobs
- 33:13Speaker 6: are just temporary. And the union guy said, ma'am, every
- 33:17Speaker 6: construction job is temporary.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Well, unless the government is building it, then it could
- 33:23Speaker 2: be a ten year jo it goes on forever. So
- 33:26Speaker 2: great stuff. Steve Moore, are you right working on another book?
- 33:31Speaker 6: That can be a little pause right now. Our latest
