  Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simon Show on WR.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls eight hundred three two one
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: zero seven ten is and then let's go to Bob
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: in Montvale, New Jersey. Bob, how you doing good? Mark?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. And just as an awareness,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I hope everybody's okay on the Red Cup. But Thursday
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: there's a big rally in Brooklyn later on today, Chris,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: they're on strike.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Union? No coffee, old Starbucks. Oh, I hope it's going
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to be extra angry libs out there today.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Be careful, please, Oh what would you say? Red Cup?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: It's today?
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Is there?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Red Cup? Thursday day that they kick off their holiday
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and the baristas are on strike. Yeah, of course, I
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: guess thirty dollars an hour isn't enough.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: And yeah, that's a good point. You know. I gave
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: up on Starbucks. Actually since we moved into our new
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: place here because the kitchen is right down there, we
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: got like twelve different coffee machines and make you any
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: kind of coffee you want, it's free. They got like
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: forty seven different brands of coffee you can choose. And
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I imagine a lot of people where they go to
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: work in a nice, big office. But the coffee's free.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Why would just stand in line at Starbucks and pay
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: twelve dollars or something? And it's like getting coffee from
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the motor vehicle department. You wait in line. Finally you
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: get up there, you place your order. Now they say,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: all right, now go over there and wait in that
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: line to go get it. It's like motor vehicle. Here's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: your temporary coffee. You'll get the real coffee in that
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: line over there. It's absolutely ridiculous. And you always get
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: in the line behind that one guy with the most
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: complicated order, and it takes forever. And you know, and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: they have food at Starbucks. But you notice the food
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: case got smaller. It used to be like the whole counter.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Now it's like a little tiny section. And it's avoid Starbucks.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: You know. There's all these other places springing up. What's
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the one over there? I can't remember. There's one right
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: across the street, Blank Street. Blank Street is a great
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: one that they're bringing up all over the place. Gregory's
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: coffee is pretty good. Hey, and dunkin Donuts. Dunkin Donuts
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: has much better coffee than Starbucks. It tastes much better
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: than Starbucks. I mean, I wouldn't exactly hire their decorator.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're the most depressing looking stories you've ever seen.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: But the coffee is great. It's probably the best coffee
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: you can get dunkin Donuts. It's one tenth the price
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: of Starbucks. And everybody that works there looks like they're
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: gonna kill themselves as soon as you leave. They don't
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: look too thrilled. But but it's much better coffee. Let's
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: go to Aaron in Indianapolis. Erin, how you doing, good morning, Mark.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you saw some of the clips of Gavin
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Newsom partying with the indigenous folks in Brazil.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, let the guy enjoy himself.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Well, my point is that I think he should return
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: the favor and treat them to the French Laundry.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a famous Thomas Keller restaurant out in California
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the pandemic, when you were not
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: allowed to go to a restaurant, he was seen at
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the French Laundry, which is it doesn't sound very good,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the French laundry, but it's one of the most expensive,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: one of maybe the ten best restaurants in the world,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: and there he was. Now this other problem is his
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: campaign director got caught embezzling funds a quarter of a
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: million dollars. It's not his fault, Gavin Newsom, and there's
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: no governor or candidate goes line by line over the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: accounting stuff. But it's the guy he picked, so reflects
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: on him. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave, how
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: you doing. Good morning, Mark.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: I'm doing very well.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Mark.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: We all know that Chuck Schumer's career was over, as
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: well as his fake Sunday press conferences.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: So I have to ask, first of all, if he writes.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: A book, will he go on the liberal networks to
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: promote it? Secondly, will he get hired as a commentary
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: And when people touches him and Kamala Harris write books,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: are they artificially inflated for The New York Times by
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: having people buying thousands of copies?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, that can be done. All good questions. If Chuck
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Schumer writes a book, nothing will happen. Nobody will buy it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: We just tested that about six months ago. Remember he
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: wrote that book. What's it called anti Semitism? Here's the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: guy who looked the other way when the worst anti Semitism,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the most frightening anti semitism, was taking place on our
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: college campuses in his district, and he looked the other way.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: He left town, ran away. Then he has a gall
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to write a book called anti Semitism. It didn't sell.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: He's a disaster. No, he cannot get a job as
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: a TV commentator because he's an old, depressing, fossil old
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: dinosaur who just sounds awful talking. That's why he always
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: reads everything off these index cards. What's the other question? Oh,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: if he leaves, you know, if he leaves as bad
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: as he is, you can get somebody worse. Is senate
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to minority leader. You're going to get like a Chris Murphy,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that real dirty, uh, you know, lying, thieving, rotten Connecticut senator.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And then speaking of Connecticut, you guys got Richard Blumenthal.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: He's your Chuck Schumer. Just depressing old man. Uh. Let's
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: let's go to Jimmy and New Milford. Jimmy, how you doing.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Thanks, Good morning, Mark. Mark. You know the way you
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: were saying that every time it turned around, people were
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: saying that Curtis can't When Curtis can't win.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Curtis can't win.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: You know, I love w All and I love the DJs.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: But the problem is, I think when they always have
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: to repeat or they're a bad You know, the nuts
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: are saying about Donald Trump. You know you got to say,
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: uh course they have to say to lad, who's ever
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: saying anything bad? They have to repeat it to make
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: the point. You know, look at what they're saying.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: WHOA.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: But I'm so sick to it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: We're talking about it. Oh do you know what he said?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he said. He's sounded good. He's
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: got a good voice. It said something catchy about his way.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: You like listening to him. But I have no idea
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: what you're talking about. But and did he say? The
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: DJs at w R I think the last DJ here
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember, well, it would have been somewhere
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: in John Gambling. I think he used to play music.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Gene Claven used to be here in the afternoons. He
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: played music. But I think that was in the late seventies,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: so I don't think we've had a DJ since then.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll see if we can talk
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: to Steve Moore. I think he'll show up Steve Moore.
• 6:39
