Hour 1: CBS News is facing criticism. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the Mark Simon shall On sevent ten
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: wo R. Well, we'll get to all the trouble spots
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: around the world, Iran Venezuela, Minnesota, Greenland and the Giants
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and Verizon and a whole lot more coming up. So
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: here's the latest. In Minnesota. You got this crazy left
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: wing kook of a mayor, you got this crazy imbecile
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: of governor Tim Waltz. You've got no leadership in this state.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: It's all chaos. There's another big incident last night. Now,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: apparently ICE tried to pull over an illegal and they
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: pulled him over, but he fled. It was a car chase,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: then they fled on foot. He went into his house.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: The ICE agents went into the house after him. And
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: by the way, this everybody seemed to agree on all
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: these details. It's not in dispute. But in there, the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: illegal picked up a big shovel and was about to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: attack the ICE agent with a big shovel, and to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: defend himself, the ICE agent fired a shot, hitting the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: illegal in the leg. So, now, if you're in Minnesota
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: or actually probably pretty much anywhere, the fake news reported
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: it as ICE agents shoot an immigrant in the foot
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in the leg ice agents shoot an immigrant in the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: leg First of all, it wasn't an immigrant, it was
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in illegal and they left out all the details about
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: why they fired. And then all hell broke loose in
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the Minneapolis with all sorts of stuff going on. And
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: then you got this idiotic mayor who's now of course
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I can call him idiotic, but from his point of view,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it makes sense what he's doing. He wants to be
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the leader of this wacko, crazy modern day democratic movement.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: He wants to rise up in fame and power within
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the party. And when something like this happens, and you're
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: all over television, You're on the network news, you're everywhere.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: If that's your game, you're gonna play this up. You're
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: gonna keep doing these press conferences, keep saying these outrageous things.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: It's fueling your crazy left wing ambition. So here's Mayor Fry.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: There's still a lot that we don't know at this time,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: but what I can tell you for certain is that
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: this is not sustainable.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now this is that's a pretty tame cut, but
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: there's all these other cuts to him, you know, on
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and this is unconstitutional. What I it's nothing unconstitutional about
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: law enforcement, enforcing law. That's what they're supposed to do.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: This is police Chief O'Hara.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: The crowd is engaging in unlawful acts. They have thrown
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: fireworks at police officers and at multiple times gas has
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: been deployed.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now, so the even the police chief knows this
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: is getting out of control.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: During the struggle, the federal agent discharged his weapon, striking
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: one adult male. The adult male then retreated inside of
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: the residents where he remained inside and refused to come out.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: So it's getting out of control. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: uh and the protesters are really getting to be a problem.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: There's more and more of them. It's believed they're being
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: funded all this Soros type money has come in there
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: to fund all of this stuff. And you know, as
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: we're talking about yesterday, Democrats used to be the party
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of the working class. Now they're the party of these
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: left wing wackos who don't work, who spend all day
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and they're calling this protesting. It's not protesting. Protesting is
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: where you have a sign, you're standing over there waving
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: your signs, and you might be yelling things at the cops.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: You might be yelling terrible things. Protesting is a sign
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and yelling, that's what it is, Ramming your vehicle into them,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: grabbing them, throwing stuff at the that's not protesting. And
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: if you try to block the cops and stop them
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: like this Renee Good. Remember she would do you know
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: anybody that would have the nerve to do this? She
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: drives up ahead of the law enforcement caravan, turns a
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: car sideways, boxes them in, blocks them in on the street.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Who would have the nerve to do this? So anyway,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that's not protesting. That's actually trying to stop law enforcement
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: from doing their job. It's actually trying to interfere with
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: government proceedings. And that's why the president now tweeting out
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: he may use the Insurrection Act. There is an actual
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Insurrection Act, which means the president can do whatever he
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: has to do in a city in a state. Basically,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: what it would look like is he would send maybe
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: National Guard, but it could also be troops, actual US
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: troops into a city and crack down on all this.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: It's been done before, It's been done many times. The
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Kennedys did it, and those southern states where they were
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: trying to block minority kids from going to College was
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: done in the late sixties. Lyndon Johnson did it. When
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the riots would get out of control in certain American cities,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: they would send the military in to stop it. So
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the Insurrection Act is a real Now, this is actual insurrection.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Remember they tried to January sixth, Remember that was that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: horrible trespassing incident at the capitol. They tried to call
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that insurrection. It wasn't. Twelve hundred people were arrested and
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: they hit these people with every charge that could hit
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: them with, but none of the charges were insurrection. It
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: was an unlawful entry, disruption of a government proceeding, trespassing,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that sort of stuff, vandalism, not nobody got charged with insurrection.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: This you could actually charge insurrection. You could actually charge insurrection.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So it's possible this could happen. We'll see. Now you're
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: gonna have all the crazies all over, crazy fake news,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: left wing television. You got Hakeem Jeffreys. They're talking about
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: defunding ICE and stopping ICE, and.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Taxpayer dollars are being used by the Department of Homeland
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Security and ICE to brutalize American citizens and law abiding
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: American taxpayers.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Now, of course, that's totally irresponsible. Is not going around
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: brutalizing American citizens. They're grabbing illegals off the street and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: taking them into custody and then deporting them. Illegals, not immigrants,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: not American citizens. And where did this come from? The idea,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: this whole idea of ICE. There used to be the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: border patrol. But where did this come from? This idea
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that ICE could go into a city, find illegals who
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: had committed crimes and grab them and take them away. Well,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it's been going on for a long time. It happened
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: during the Obama administration, it happened during the Biden administration.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: They didn't do it in great numbers, but they were
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: doing it then. In fact, there's a clip, I don't know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: it might be on my Twitter. It's floating around on Twitter.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: It was during the Obama days when ICE was arresting
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: illegals on the streets of our major cities, taking them away.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And a reporter asks the White House spokesperson in the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: press conference of what are you doing here? How are
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you doing this? What right do you have? And she
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: gives a nice polite answer, and of course there's no
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: follow up. It's gently asked, and they gently listen to
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the answer because it's a Democrat, it's Obama. So they
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: don't get mad. They don't huff and puff and yell
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: on the screen. This defunding ICE. You'll hear more about this.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be the big thing with Democrats. They'll
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: try to do a government shutdown over defunding ICE. Most
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: people don't want ICE defunded. Most people don't like these protests.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It looks ridiculous, you know again, Democrats used to be
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the party of the working class. Now they're the party
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: of these crazy women that don't work, angry, unhinged white
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: liberal women who don't work, the nose ring crowd. Basically,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the Democrats took the lgbtqz x Y whatever they are
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and weaponize them. So Renee Good has a father in law.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: This is the father of the crazy wife of Renee Good,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the one that was yelling and screaming at the cops,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: taunting them. But even he you know, they had them
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and I think it was MSNBC. You know, they wanted
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: this guy to denounce Trump, but he didn't do that.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: He was pretty pretty reasonable in his answer.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: I'm not blaming anybody. I mean it's a hard situation
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: all the way around. It's it's it's hard for the
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: you know, for everybody involved. I mean the US agent.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: You know, at first I didn't see the footage where
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: you know, he was actually you know, he was actually
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: being ran. I mean I've seen the bump of the
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: car hitting you know, hitting his legs, and so in
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: a you know, in a flash like that, it's it's
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: hard to say how you would react. From my understanding
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: that he had been through that before, maybe dragged or something,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: and so, uh, you know, like I said, it's just
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: it's just a hard situation for everybody.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. It's a very sensible, reasonable, honorable
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: sort of sounding guy. And then you see his daughter,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: a crazy nut in the streets, screaming and yelling and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: taunting law enforcement. He's more of this, A father, father
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: of Renee Goods wife.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: I don't blame us, I don't Rebeck. I don't blame Renee.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: I just you know, I just wish that, you know,
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: if a walking the spirit of God, I don't think
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: she would have been there.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Now, speaking of the ICE agent who was hit by
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Renee Goods car, CBS News broke the story that when
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: he was taken to the hospital after that he was
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: suffering from internal bleeding. He was hit by the car.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: You can see it in the videos from the front.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: When he fired his first shot, it went through the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: front windshield of the car, which means he was in
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: front of the car. You know, when you see that
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: other video, looks like he was on the side, but
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you could not fire through the front windshield unless you
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: were in the front of the car, which he was
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: for the first shot. And CBS News reporting he had
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: internal bleeding when he got to the hospital. Now what happens, Well,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the left wing went crazy attacking CBS News. They're all
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: furious at CBS News for claiming he had internal bleeding.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Now that you have that phrase, they love to use
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: CBS report without evidence, reported without evidence. Well, they're also
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: without evidence that he didn't have internal bleeding. But here's
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the problem with CBS News. They try to go more fair,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: not right wing, just trying to be right down the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: middle and give both sides, and it's got their audience
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: furious at them. So they've lost a few viewers. Their
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: nightly ratings are down to about four million. It was
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: five million last year. But that's Okay. You know when
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you switch formats happens in the radio too. You know
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: you're playing a country in Western you switch to you
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: switch to classic rock. You know you're gonna lose a
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: lot of your audience. There'll be a transition before you
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: get your new audience in, so your ratings will drop
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: before they go up. And this is the same thing.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: They're switching the format from crazy left wing to balanced,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and it'll take a while. Now here's what's interesting. NBC News.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: You know they got this new anchor at NBC News,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Tom Yamas, good looking guy. In fact. Go on to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: my Twitter. Look at the picture of the three nightly
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: news anchors. What's what's the guy's name on ABC, David Muir,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Tom Yamas. And it's gonna be a couple of years
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: before I learned the name of the CBS guy if
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: he's there that long, David, whatever his name is. So
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: these three anchors, look at the there's three pictures together,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: it's on my Twitter. They look identical. They're both young,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: really good looking, dark hair like young Don Draper types.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: All they're identical, the three. It's amazing that's never happened
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: before in the history of nightly News were all three
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: anchors look exactly alike, but this Tom Yamas Lester Holt.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: People liked Lester Holt. He was a nice guy. I
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: know he was crazy left wing, fake news slanted, but
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: he's not a bad guy in real life. He was
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: just like in a hostage situation. He had to do
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: that to keep the job. But as soon as he
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: was gone and this other guy took over, they did
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: much better. He just looked slicker, faster, younger, better than Lester.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And the ratings are up. In fact, for the first
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: time ever, NBC Nightly News beat ABC. This was in
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the twenty five to fifty four demographic. Overall. ABC still won,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: but it's a good sign for NBC News. So they
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: did a really good job of finding a replacement for
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Lester Holt. So here's the way it works now, ABC
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: World News Tonight, the nightly newscast eight million viewers for
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the week. That makes it the number one show in
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: all of television. But NBC Nightly News six point seven millions.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: It's almost seven million, CBS Evening News four point two million.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: But give them a chance to find a new audience
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: that likes reasonable, common sense stuff. Hey what happened with Iran, Well,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: there was talk of going in there. They were going
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to execute people. Trump threaten to go in and do
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: something about it. Now the word they got was that
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the executions have been called off. Iran realized the idea
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of executing people and hanging them in public could lead
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: to military actions from the US. President Trump is no
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: plan for executions or an execution or executions, so I've
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: been told that a good authority we'll find out about it.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: So supposedly they've stopped. Now. The US has pulled some
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: of our troops out of Middle East bases that they're
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: near Iran. They sent all sorts of military assets, destroyers,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: naval ships, everything is moving towards Iran, guided missile destroyers
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and moving there. They're getting everything in place for whatever
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: they have to do. Iran issued a sickening threat, an
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: assassination threat against Donald Trump. Iran said this time it
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: will not miss the target. So is that a confession
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that they were behind the last two? I think it
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: is Iran's made threats to kill the president in the past.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: There was a twenty twenty two video posted by the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: regime depicting an assassination on the president at Amar A
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Lago golf course. And then remember there was an assassin
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: caught on that golf course. A Justice department also said
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, the US thwarted a plot to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: kill President Trump after arresting company that apparently were part
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of Iran's revolutionary Guard. So they have tried to kill
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: him before. They've issued a new threat against him, which
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: brings me back to what I've been saying all along.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell he wanted this job.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I knew the guy in private life before
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: he was in politics. He had a great life, that
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: beautiful office in Trump Tower. You're going to parties, having fun,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Celebrities come up and see you building buildings. Who needs
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: to trade that in for all of this stuff? And
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: then on top of all these you imagine all day long,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: you know, you mentioned going to a meeting with the
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: officials of Greenland. Who the hell wants to sit through that?
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: And then on top of that, you got a ran
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: trying to kill you. Who needs the this kind of stuff?
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Now they are they may stop the executions, but they
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: are going crazy putting down these protests. Doctors in Iran
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: say they are collapsing from exhaustion because the protesters are
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: getting wounded, shot, all sorts of stuff happening. They're coming
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: into the hospitals by the thousands. The number of wounded
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and dead bodies piling up. He's unbelievable, doctors saying, they're
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: arriving in trucks, ambulances, private cars, filled with bodies. We
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: can't help everyone. We're running out of supplies. Many have
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: died because we couldn't even get time to treat them.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: All pretty bad situation in Iran. So we'll get to that.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: We'll get back to that. They also will get to
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the giants they're gonna hire. It looks like they're going
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to hire John Harbaugh. They're lucky to have him, you know,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: they're lucky that he's available. The reason he's available the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: other team just fired him. I don't understand this whole procedure.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: What kind of job interviews that though? Why'd you leave
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: your last job? Well, threw me the hell out. But
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: apparently they want to give him twenty million a year. Anyway,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: we'll get back to this. We'll take some calls. Next.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten

• 16:17

  Speaker 6: Charlotte, North Carolina.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Hey, Yeah, let's talk about Charlotte. It's you got a
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: lot of neighborhoods getting out of control there, don't you.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: It's like there's a murder every one or two murders
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: every single day in the outer neighborhoods and the city.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: You would never think, but there's there's killings constantly in
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: the outer Yeah, it's crazy. My question is I'm hoping
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: that Trump isn't feeling because the execute stopped, that all
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: is forgiven and they can go back to where they were.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: They crossed the rubicon on this whole situation already. They
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: can't go back and just say, well, you know, because
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: the killings have stopped, everything is all right.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: No, don't worry. They're just you know, the longer they wait,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the better they plan whatever they're going to do the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: way it'll work out. I think that you'll end up
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: with the Iatola fleeing heading to Russia with his He's
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: got about twenty people he wants to take with him.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Russia's offered to give them sanctuary or whatever. You got
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to pay for that. By the way, I don't know
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: if you know that, but when they take in a
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: dictator on their run, you got to pay pootin. Usually
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: it's about one hundred million. You got to give them.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, the Iatolic can afford it. Let's go to
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Matt in Manhattan. Matt, how you doing.
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: Okay, Well, thank you for taking my call. You know,
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: the biggest thing it's stopping us from having being protected
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: or having good politicians is the voting system. Governor out
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: of just recently allowed paper ballot voting in six of
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: the counties in Texas. Why are we doing this paper
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: ballot voting?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, no, it's a good idea. You got to
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: remember years of million years ago, when it was all
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: paper bollot, you still had cheating in certain places. It's
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: gonna happen when you had those machines, you had cheating.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: When you got you know, into the software, you get cheating.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: And it's it's not the machine company or the software company.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: It's depends who's running the stuff. You know, in a
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: big municipality like in the middle of New York City,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the municipal workers running all that stuff tend to be Democrats,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: you know. That's who becomes these municipal workers for a
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: million years. Republicans don't tend to do that kind of
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: stuff for a living. So there was always finagling with it.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: And let's go from North Carolina to South Carolina. Stuart,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: how you doing, hey?
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Mark?
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Ay you doing? Oh? Two points one? Vincent mentioned yesterday
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: about the night six and you mentioned about the ones
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: with the handles. That was a PR twenty four.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, but wait, they got rid of the night stick.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: It looked good because the cop but spent the first
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: two years on the force learning how to twirl it
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: real nice.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but the PR twenty four is the one you
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: mentioned with the handles were fantastic. They were basically marshall arts.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, but that's the thing where it looks like a
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: big selfie stick. It's it's small, but then you extend
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: a wand out.
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: And the other one that you had talked about, the
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: expandable one, is I think they are horrible it's called
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: an Asta and it's it's not so cumbersome. But the
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: PR twenty four was much much better. And the other
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: thing I want to say, I was in Iran before the.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: Shaw left, what we were doing in Iran.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: I was in the military and it was the people
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: there was great. In fact, the country was very nice.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: I loved being there.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, well, let me just because people did not
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: realize it before the Shaw left. When the Shaw was
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: running it, before the Ayatola, Iran was like the Paris
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: of the Middle.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: East, right, It was wonderful, Mark. It really was a
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: nice place and the people were really great. They were
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: so friendly. And people have to understand, we are not
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: at war with the Iranian people. They are very decent people.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: It is the regime that has just bastardized that poor country.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: And once the Iotolas took over then it just went insane.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: And he's got to be removed. He really does. He's
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: done so much damage to the world. He's just a
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: cancer upon the earth.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Stuart, great call, Thanks for Colin. Let's
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: go to Vincent from Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Mark, God morning, Good morning Stewart. Mark Stewart
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: is one hundred percent right. Years ago, I used to
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: have a tenant and his family escaped from Moran when
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: the Mullahs took over, and they did very very well
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: in this country, very well, very well loved family. Mark,
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: the first caller talked about the uprising in a ram Mark,
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: I wouldn't trust those people as far as I could spit,
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: because how do we know that they're not taking the
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: prisoners in the police stations or in the barracks and
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: putting a cap in their head over there years ago?
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: And people got to remember this when there was the
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: first uprising in Iran years ago, when Obama was president
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: and he didn't do anything. I saw executions in the
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: town square, not on American TV, on Italian TV of course,
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: where they were hanging these kids from cherry pickers in
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: the town square and everything.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: It's not fair to say Obama didn't do anything. Didn't
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: he send him like twenty billion in cash, remember that.
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: Exactly? The help which was actually which was actually illegal
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: because he was also sending them other currencies aside from
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: the United States.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they disguised at this other Curtsey, but it was
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: that out and out bribe to her in Yeah.
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he was sending them everything. How do we know
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: he didn't send them gold and other stuff in there?
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: And as President Donald Trump said, Obama did squat and
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: I saw the executions myself on unwoke Italian TV. Mark,
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: So I wouldn't trust those people as far as I
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: can spare.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's why they hate Donald Trump. They don't
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: like this. Why does he have to do so much?
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Just sit there and talk like Trump, just talk. Don't
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: let you do anything, Donald Trump. You would saying, well,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: you said, well, why would he want to risk taking
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: a bullet? He is going to go down. There's no
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: doubt in my mind. There's the greatest president in United
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: States history. He's gonna top everybody. The only one perhaps
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: that he won't top, only because he found his country,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: is George Washington. He is the greatest. All right, Vincent,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: we agree, Thanks for a great call, Thanks for calling us. Hey,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: when we come back, Steve Moore will be with us.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: We hope we'll see next On seven to ten w R.

• 23:24
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get him, right, We've made contact with him,

• 23:53
  Speaker 1: You'll love it. Steve Moore, How you doing.
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: Say, Mark, I have known really well. I think that
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: this economy is flying high. I think all the signals
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: are pointing north, whether it's incomes, and we're seeing a
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: lot of new jobs, a lot of new manufacturing, a
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: lot of money pouring into the United States. I think
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: were they out economy? And so I'm very bullish right
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: now about you.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Well, I'm not an expert like you are.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: But the jobs number looked okay, not great. But if
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: you look at the household survey, it looked great. What
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: is the difference between the two things.
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't want to get too far into the weeds.
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: I don't want to be a nerdy here, but basically,
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: they do surveys one of the households in one of
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: the businesses, and they pointed in different directions, And so
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: the household survey showed a big gain in jobs and
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: the other one just showed a little tiny game. I
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: don't know which one to believe. I think maybe somewhere
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: in the middle. But look, the problem in the United
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: States is not a shortage of jobs. It isn't it's
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: a shortage of workers. I mean, we have a eleven
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: thousand America retirement every day and eight thousand people that
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: work for So just do the math there are our
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: labor force is going to be shrinking unless we have
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: immigration and unless we get the people who are employed
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: in into jobs. So if you talk to most businesses,
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: they say, look, we're hiring, we just can't find the
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: people with the skills we need. You saw Bill Ford,
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: you know, who, of course is the president of Ford
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: Motor Company. Yeah, say, we have fifteen thousand mechanic jobs
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: open and those stay over one hundred thousand dollars a
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: year and we can't fill them.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, I know that. And for it's an example
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: of a great American company that's a coming back manufacturing
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: in America. Yep. And yep.
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, it's interesting, Mark, because you probably
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: said a lot of your listeners and I'm sure you
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: saw Trump, you know, give that little talk at the
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: Ford plant where they make the F one fifty. And
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: you know, when I was a kid, you know, I
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: in the early seventies, when I grew up in Chicago,
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: we took a trip. We drove to Detroit and we
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: went to the Kellogg's factory and we went to the
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: steel plants and we went to the Ford you know
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: plant there. And back then this was seventy like sweatshops.
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: I mean, those are tough factory jobs, you know. And
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: I looked at the factories, you know, that factory, that
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: four factory today. It didn't look and anything like that
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: fifty years ago. And so my point is, you know
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: that that it's changed a lot in these kind of
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: manufacturing jobs, and it so much is done with automation now,
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: and so it's it's amazing and the fact that we're now,
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: you know, producing more cars is a really positive thing.
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: And producing Americas trumps that it used to be. The
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: factory we're moving from Michigan to Mexico, and now they're
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: moving from Mexico Michigan.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, speaking of all that, you know, years ago,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party was the party of the working class.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: You thought of Democrat voter. You thought of the factory,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the lunch bucket, the hard hat. Now you think of
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: a Democrat, what do you think of a nose ring,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: pink hair? They don't work, chasing ice around? What happened?
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: It's a great point, I think one of the real
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: uh political positions that has happened in the last fifteen pointers,
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: especially in the Europe. Trump, it's been Trump really has
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: turned the Republican Party into the party of the working class,
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: and Democrats have become the party of the league. And
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: so that's why you're seeing you know, uh mayhound in
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: the cities and so on. I mean, you look at
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: what's happening in New York City and it's just it
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: breaks my home mark. I mean, you live there in
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: the New York It's just, how can you who admits
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: that he's a socialist? Where is socialism point to a
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: civil plate where it works? Yeah?
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Uh, Well, but the president seems to have a good
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: relationship with mom, Donnie, not that it's ye done anything relationship.
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: He also has a good relationship now with pokahonnas uh.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Well loosen Steve. Are you there a credit cards? Yeah? Hey,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: speaking of credit cards, this idea of capping because they
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: are interesting. Well, the interest rate on a credit card
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: can be ridiculously high twenty Why not a cap?
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: Well, because if you do that, it's because they've tried
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: this before. When you put these kind of caps on
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: the then they issue fewer credit cards, and we estimated
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: millions of Americans will lose, especially lower income Americans and
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: Americans with poorer credit ratings. And then they're not going
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: to have access to credit at all. And then what
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: are they gonna have to do? They're gonna have to
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: go to you know, Guido the loan Shark you can
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: get money. So I think it's a really bad idea.
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: I'm not a financial advisor, but I will advise this
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: to your listeners. The worst way to borrow is to
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: borrow off your credit card. People are stupid to do that,
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: and we should. We need more financial literacy in this.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: You're better off taking a loan at a bank than
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: burrowing off your credit cards. Because you said they'll pay you,
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: they'll charge your twenty two percent interest, So don't that.
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: Credit cards are not for borrowing. And if you get
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: if you get into debt on your credit card, try
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: to pay it back as quickly as possible. So but look,
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: the banks don't make money when people go, uh, you know,
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: go don't link went on their credit cards. But they
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: have to recapture, you know, they pay, you know, they're
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: paying the same four percent interest rate, they pay six
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: percent on the capture. They pay all these costs. So
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: there's way. But I saw that some at two trillion
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: dollars of debt on people's credit cards. That's bad.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that Warren Buffett. That old woman said, uh,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: he said, well what do you Oh, it's well, my
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: credit card did how much you're paying a twenty two percent?
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: And he said pay it off immediately. She said, well
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I need money. He said, I'll give you all the
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: money you want if you're paying twenty two percent.
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: So yeah, right exactly. So it's just a bad way
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: to borrow. And people are going to look, I'm I
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: have relatives who've gotten into the card trouble. And and
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: then the problem is then if you don't pay the
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: credit card, you know, then you lose your credit rating.
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: So we just need to be more disciplined in terms
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: of you know, not overspending. But I don't think look
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: taking away credit card. Look it used to be when
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: I grew up, only you know, less half of the
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: population even had access to credit cards. Now almost everybody
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: has a credit card, and that's a good thing. It
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: means we've democratized credit and innocently. Have you noticed this?
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: I don't know if it's true in New York City,
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: but a lot of firs where I live, they say,
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: we don't take cash anymore. Well, so if they don't
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: take cash and you can't get a credit card, are
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: you going to pay for anything?
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: But in five years, I don't think we'll have any
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: cash anywhere. Everything will.
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: I don't think so either, So that you know, how
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: are people going to you know, people are going to
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: use electronic transfers and and so we want everybody to
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: have access to credit. And but look, I agree with you.
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: I think though some of those interest rates are really high.
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: But I don't think I don't like the government setting
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: price controls.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if we're not gonna have any cash anymore, is
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: that the reason we really have to have crypto for
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: people that want to avoid taxes and all that stuff
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: and criminal activity. That's why they need crypto.
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm not an expert on cryptos. I'm very happy
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: we have them. And are you an investor in cryptos?
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: No?
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: No, no, I'm not either, but I'm happy that we
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: have them because you know what, we've got a lot
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: of you know, we've got Jerome poll up the FED
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: who doesn't know what he's doing. And you know what
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: does the government always do when we get in trouble
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: They inflate the currency. So this is a fact that
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: people can buy a private currency. I think it's going
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: to keep these central bankers honest. Hey, we just a
• 31:40
