Hour 1: John Bolton pleads guilty. · The Mark Simone Show

0:01
Speaker 1: Now Seor presents Mark Simon Shaw. Well just wait, hang on,
0:17
Speaker 1: just checking this breaking news here. John Bolton. You know,
0:21
Speaker 1: he pled guilty to a couple of charges. Apparently there's
0:25
Speaker 1: more charges and this just breaking. Bolton will plead guilty
0:29
Speaker 1: to them too. Bolton will plead guilty to everything. You
0:33
Speaker 1: know why, because he's guilty of everything. And you remember
0:37
Speaker 1: all your left wing crazies, all your left wing commentators,
0:42
Speaker 1: all your fake news kept telling you that the charges
0:45
Speaker 1: against Bolton, why it was just drummed up Trump going
0:48
Speaker 1: after a political enemy. What was law fair? Just phony
0:52
Speaker 1: charges to target a political opponent. Well, no, they were
0:56
Speaker 1: all pretty accurate. They were all totally accurate because Bolton
1:00
Speaker 1: agreed to plead guilty to all of them. Reason you
1:03
Speaker 1: plead guilty is after you've worked with your lawyers for
1:06
Speaker 1: a while and they tell you there is absolutely no
1:09
Speaker 1: way to beat these charges. You're going to get convicted,
1:11
Speaker 1: So you plead guilty, you know, save the expense of
1:15
Speaker 1: a trial for the state, and then they give you
1:17
Speaker 1: a little lighter sentence. So I don't know if he'll
1:20
Speaker 1: go to jail. You know, they could come up with
1:22
Speaker 1: all kinds of other things that there was already a
1:24
Speaker 1: massive fine on him, but Bolton to plead guilty. It's
1:30
Speaker 1: going to be a kind of a tough weekend. It's Friday,
1:33
Speaker 1: already tough weekend for the fake news, especially the Sunday shows.
1:36
Speaker 1: They're looking for things to attack President Trump over straight. Oh,
1:40
Speaker 1: Hormoose has been pretty much open for the last few weeks.
1:43
Speaker 1: So there was a shooting at a ship was targeted.
1:47
Speaker 1: That's one ship, but meantime, you know, forty or fifty
1:50
Speaker 1: been coming through, so they'll use that. It's not that exciting.
1:57
Speaker 1: So I think they're going to be down to the
2:00
Speaker 1: Reflecting Pool. That's going to be like a big issue,
2:03
Speaker 1: you know, every Sunday morning, of course all day long
2:06
Speaker 1: on CNN and MSN, NBC. They got to attack him
2:09
Speaker 1: day and night. But the Sunday shows have got to
2:10
Speaker 1: come up with some real attacks, and it's going to
2:15
Speaker 1: be reflecting Pool kind of stuff. You know, to most Americans,
2:17
Speaker 1: they're really not concerned that there was some algae in
2:20
Speaker 1: a pool in Washington, d C. The Reflecting Pool is
2:24
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful monument. But during the
2:27
Speaker 1: Obama Biden years, it was total disaster. It was absolute shambles,
2:34
Speaker 1: a total mess. It was all dirty and filthy and discussing.
2:38
Speaker 1: That's why President Trump decided to fix it. But for
2:41
Speaker 1: all those years that it was totally totally crumbling, de king,
2:45
Speaker 1: no coverage of it, all, no mention of it. And
2:48
Speaker 1: now they're going after President Trump left and right now,
2:50
Speaker 1: trying to make it look like he doesn't know what
2:52
Speaker 1: he's doing. Do you realize the odds of this? What
2:54
Speaker 1: a coincidence is this? At the time the pool needs fixing,
2:58
Speaker 1: you happen to have a president in the world use
3:01
Speaker 1: who's an expert on building swimming pools. He's built about
3:04
Speaker 1: four hundred of them in his lifetime all over the world.
3:08
Speaker 1: There are the odds of that when you need it fixed,
3:11
Speaker 1: the guy in office is a swimming pool builder for years,
3:15
Speaker 1: for forty years, he's been building swimming pools. He knows
3:17
Speaker 1: all the best swimming pool companies, and when it comes
3:20
Speaker 1: to building stuff, he's very hands on. He knows every
3:22
Speaker 1: detail of everything. So he's built plenty of pools. Now,
3:26
Speaker 1: you got the It was at the New York Times
3:27
Speaker 1: the other day. They apparently the reporter stuck a cup
3:31
Speaker 1: in there and got a cupful of water out of
3:33
Speaker 1: that pool. They said, we took it to a swimming
3:36
Speaker 1: pool company, a pool company, and they analyzed it for us,
3:40
Speaker 1: and they said it's not the proper pH level, like
3:43
Speaker 1: they even know what they're doing. And who knows what
3:45
Speaker 1: pool company they found. You know, those Sunday shows always
3:49
Speaker 1: have Hakeem Jeffries on, and Schumer tries to get on them.
3:54
Speaker 1: They don't like to have him on too much because
3:55
Speaker 1: he's so decrepit looking. But Hakeem Jeffries is on every
4:00
Speaker 1: and he's attacking the president left and right. Now here's
4:02
Speaker 1: the problem for these guys, Hakeem Jeffries. I don't know
4:06
Speaker 1: where he really stands. He pretends to be a huge
4:10
Speaker 1: Trump hater. He pretends to be a far left Trump
4:14
Speaker 1: derangement syndrome lunatic. But I think it's kind of an act.
4:18
Speaker 1: You know, he stands there very robotic and recites memorized stuff. Schumer,
4:22
Speaker 1: you know, is a complete phony. Schumer doesn't believe in anything. Nothing.
4:28
Speaker 1: Schumer just pandering to the crowd, cheap hustling, pandering, fake politician,
4:34
Speaker 1: reading those index cards. Every word out of his mouth
4:37
Speaker 1: was written by a bunch of staffers. Even anything they
4:40
Speaker 1: put in front of him. He's reading, so he's totally inauthentic. Now,
4:44
Speaker 1: the problem is today's young Democrats, these crazy mom Donnie
4:50
Speaker 1: voting aoc loving, these kind of crazy socialist left wing Democrats.
4:56
Speaker 1: The one thing they want is authenticity. They want a
5:00
Speaker 1: lot of crazy stuff, but they want their crazies to
5:02
Speaker 1: be authentic. And you look at a guy like Mom Donnie,
5:05
Speaker 1: he looks authentic, he looks like he really believes this nonsense. Schumer,
5:11
Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries pretend that they believe it. But it's not
5:14
Speaker 1: fooling these younger people. They know these are old fossils
5:17
Speaker 1: just pretending. So they're now calling. In fact, most of
5:21
Speaker 1: the new breed of Democrats in the Congress are now
5:25
Speaker 1: calling for new leadership. Democrats calling for Hakim Jeffries to
5:29
Speaker 1: be out as the leader, calling for Schumer to be
5:32
Speaker 1: out as the leader. They want to get some real, actual,
5:36
Speaker 1: authentic people to lead them. Now here's a good example
5:40
Speaker 1: of a totally inauthentic Kathy Hochel. Now she was put
5:45
Speaker 1: in there by Andrew Cuomo. Another horrible thing Cuomo did
5:48
Speaker 1: to New York. Besides all the terrible things he did,
5:51
Speaker 1: the no crime, no bail, no jail, you know, the
5:54
Speaker 1: closing the prisons, closing Indian Point, all the horrible things
5:57
Speaker 1: he did. He gave us Kathy Hochel, who's he's just
6:00
Speaker 1: a total mediocre nothing governor who just panders and plays along.
6:06
Speaker 1: She's trying to pretend, now she's a left wing democrat, socialist,
6:11
Speaker 1: but totally inauthentic. Nobody believes anything shows it looks like
6:15
Speaker 1: a looks like one of those real estate women in
6:18
Speaker 1: the suburbs, you know, nail pounding the sign into the
6:21
Speaker 1: ground in front of the house, one of those one
6:24
Speaker 1: of those real estate agents you don't trust. She's got
6:26
Speaker 1: that look about her. But just to show you how
6:29
Speaker 1: inauthentic she is, Buffalo the game. She's trying to start
6:35
Speaker 1: pretending she's a fan of Buffalo. She's not a sports
6:41
Speaker 1: fan at all. Remember she pretended she's a football fan.
6:43
Speaker 1: She pretends she's a soccer fan. So she's trying to
6:46
Speaker 1: lead the crowd in a chance. She's trying to get
6:48
Speaker 1: the crowd to cheer for Buffalo. They're not buying it.
6:51
Speaker 1: They know she's a phony, fake fraud there. Nobody's chanting
6:55
Speaker 1: along with it. This is the most pathetic thing ever
6:57
Speaker 1: listened to this.
6:58
Speaker 2: Let's get this parties are let's go, Let's go Buffalo.
7:04
Speaker 2: Let's go Buffalo. Let's go Buffalo.
7:08
Speaker 3: All right?
7:08
Speaker 2: Seriously, you want, you want. You're gonna win a championship
7:11
Speaker 2: season with that kind of enthusiasm. Men and women of labor,
7:15
Speaker 2: you know what I'm talking about. Let's go Buffalo. Let's
7:18
Speaker 2: go Buffalo. We gotta get his play some good karma.
7:22
Speaker 1: Right, nobody's chatting with it at the end of you
7:25
Speaker 1: here a few, but that's your staff. It's pathetic.
7:29
Speaker 2: Let's get this party star, Let's go. Let's go Buffalo.
7:34
Speaker 2: Let's go Buffalo. Let's go Buffalo, all right.
7:38
Speaker 1: Seriously, Yeah, they don't like you, they don't trust you,
7:41
Speaker 1: they don't believe you. They think you're a fake, a
7:43
Speaker 1: phony affront. So Bruce Blakeman, I think he's got a
7:48
Speaker 1: hell of a good chance. We'll get the best poster
7:50
Speaker 1: in the world coming up later in the show. We'll
7:52
Speaker 1: get some some real intel on that Bruce Blakeman should
7:56
Speaker 1: be the governor. Vote for him in November. Bruce Blakeman
8:00
Speaker 1: and the only thing I can save this. Also, you
8:03
Speaker 1: need a real solid guy like that to stand up
8:06
Speaker 1: to Mom. Donnie Alvin Bragg all that stuff. Hey, by
8:11
Speaker 1: the way, next week, fourth of July next it's hard
8:14
Speaker 1: to believe it's the fourth of July. Next week, next weekend,
8:18
Speaker 1: so a week from today that would be July third,
8:23
Speaker 1: and a week from yesterday. So coming up this coming
8:26
Speaker 1: week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Taylor Swift takes over Madison Square Garden.
8:33
Speaker 1: Apparently this is gonna be a three day thing and
8:36
Speaker 1: it's gonna disrupt everything. They're talking. They got the permits
8:39
Speaker 1: filed for street closures, just like with the Knicks games
8:43
Speaker 1: closing Madison Square Garden and the surrounding blocks. It's going
8:47
Speaker 1: to be a disaster for traffic. And if you're trying
8:50
Speaker 1: to get to Penn Station, I don't know how that's
8:51
Speaker 1: gonna work. But apparently here's the deal. On July second,
8:56
Speaker 1: she's gonna get married to Track Kelsey. It's gonna they're
9:01
Speaker 1: describing it as an intimate ceremony and you're saying intimate
9:05
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden. Well, apparently it's only going to be
9:07
Speaker 1: one hundred people family, one hundred people just family for
9:11
Speaker 1: the intimate wedding that's on July second, Then on July third,
9:16
Speaker 1: the next day that'll be a week from today Friday,
9:19
Speaker 1: they're going to do a party for two thousand people.
9:22
Speaker 1: That'll be in Madison Square Garden, which holds like twenty
9:25
Speaker 1: five thousand people, So it's going to feel intimate in
9:28
Speaker 1: the garden. But that'll be about two thousand people. But
9:31
Speaker 1: they've filed permits for street closures for all sorts of stuff.
9:35
Speaker 1: In fact, I'll be closing an entire block to set
9:38
Speaker 1: just to set up a tent outside Madison Square Garden.
9:42
Speaker 1: I assume the tent is to check people in. You'll
9:46
Speaker 1: pull up and go into the tent, which will be closed.
9:49
Speaker 1: That way, nobody can see in, people can't take pictures.
9:52
Speaker 1: So just remember if you're trying to get anywhere near
9:54
Speaker 1: the garden, penn station, or anything. Next Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
10:01
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a disaster. Next week is fourth of July,
10:06
Speaker 1: and it's more than that, it's the two hundred and
10:08
Speaker 1: fiftieth birthday of America. It'll be celebrating America, the flag,
10:13
Speaker 1: our country. So be nice to your liberal friends. It's
10:16
Speaker 1: going to be a very tough week for them. They
10:18
Speaker 1: don't like this, they don't like celebrating America. They don't
10:23
Speaker 1: like the fireworks. They don't like any of this. It's
10:25
Speaker 1: gonna be a very, very upsetting week for them. And
10:29
Speaker 1: if you have Apple products, if you're like me and
10:33
Speaker 1: you'll love Apple, and you got an Apple iPhone, you
10:35
Speaker 1: got an iPad, you got a Mac, and you know,
10:40
Speaker 1: coming into the time of year where the new stuff
10:41
Speaker 1: comes out, there's going to be a huge price increase.
10:44
Speaker 1: Apple price increase up to five hundred dollars increase on
10:48
Speaker 1: some things. They're having a big problem getting chips now.
10:52
Speaker 1: The problem is AI uses up all these memory chips
10:56
Speaker 1: and all these chips that they need, and normally Apple
11:01
Speaker 1: doesn't have to worry about that stuff. Apple is such
11:03
Speaker 1: a big buyer. They have such incredible buying power that
11:07
Speaker 1: they're always first in line and even when there's a shortage,
11:10
Speaker 1: they can always get the stuff before anybody else. Well,
11:13
Speaker 1: that's all changed. The big, big, big AI companies buy
11:16
Speaker 1: so much of this stuff, much more than Apple. They
11:19
Speaker 1: got more buying power than Apple. So Apple has gone
11:22
Speaker 1: to the back of the line, having trouble keeping that
11:25
Speaker 1: supply chain, going, having trouble getting the stuff they need.
11:30
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a different era. Apple stock
11:33
Speaker 1: dropping a bit because it's again a whole different world
11:37
Speaker 1: for them hanging. I'm looking for the price of oil,
11:40
Speaker 1: just talking about price increases. You know, with things settling
11:44
Speaker 1: down in Iran, stock market is way up. Uh oh.
11:49
Speaker 1: If you're a Democrat, you might want to turn off
11:52
Speaker 1: the radio for a minute. You not going to want
11:54
Speaker 1: to hear this. Oil is back down in the sixties,
11:58
Speaker 1: sixty nine dollars a barrel. It's pre Iran war price
12:02
Speaker 1: sixty nine dollars a barrel. Average gas price is down
12:06
Speaker 1: to about three dollars eighty five cents. Now, you got
12:09
Speaker 1: to remember when things are settled in the strait is
12:12
Speaker 1: open and the oil is flowing. Price of oil it's
12:15
Speaker 1: a commodity, you know, the barrels of oil, that's a commodity.
12:19
Speaker 1: So that drops immediately. But for to get to the pump,
12:23
Speaker 1: the gas pumps where for the price coming, that's a
12:25
Speaker 1: delay that lags by a couple of weeks. So pretty
12:29
Speaker 1: and it might even happen next week. You may see
12:31
Speaker 1: it down to three point fifty a gallon by next week.
12:34
Speaker 1: But oil for the first time back in the sixties,
12:37
Speaker 1: it's sixty nine dollars right now. Price of oil way down.
12:42
Speaker 1: And if you're a Democrat, you can turn your radio
12:44
Speaker 1: back on. We didn't want to upset you with that.
12:46
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. Mets fired their manager, Okay, I mean
12:52
Speaker 1: somebody's got to take the blame. It's a bad season.
12:55
Speaker 1: The problem is you get these guys like Steve Cohen
12:59
Speaker 1: who make billions, billions, so many billions in a hedge fund.
13:04
Speaker 1: What are you doing a hedge fund? You got to
13:06
Speaker 1: know what stocks to buy and trade, commodities stocks, You
13:09
Speaker 1: got to know all kinds of financial stuff. So guys
13:13
Speaker 1: like this think, well, if I did that, I know
13:14
Speaker 1: how to run anything. But just because you know how
13:16
Speaker 1: to trade stock doesn't mean you know anything about how
13:19
Speaker 1: to run a baseball team. And that's the problem. So
13:21
Speaker 1: it's not just Tim. You get a lot of owners
13:23
Speaker 1: like this. He's not the worst, you know, Woody Johnson
13:26
Speaker 1: has set the all time record worst owner in the
13:28
Speaker 1: history of sports. Totally destroyed the New York Jets, absolutely
13:34
Speaker 1: destroyed it. And it's fascinating to watch these guys because normally,
13:40
Speaker 1: if you started doing something and you were really bad
13:44
Speaker 1: at it and you kept losing and it was awful,
13:47
Speaker 1: you might after a while, after a couple of years,
13:49
Speaker 1: if you're Woody Johnson, say, you know, I don't know
13:52
Speaker 1: what the hell I'm doing. I better get out of
13:53
Speaker 1: this or hand this over to somebody who does. But
13:57
Speaker 1: if you're a multi billionaire just over confident, you think
14:01
Speaker 1: I'll figure it out. So now you gotta remember one
14:05
Speaker 1: thing about George Steinbrenner, and everybody forgets about this little
14:09
Speaker 1: piece of the puzzle. He was very successful at this,
14:12
Speaker 1: but the reason is he didn't do anything else for
14:16
Speaker 1: a living. You know, all these guys do something else
14:18
Speaker 1: for a living. They run massive businesses, empires all day long.
14:23
Speaker 1: Every owner of every baseball team does something else for
14:26
Speaker 1: a living. All day long, they work on it, and
14:28
Speaker 1: then about four o'clock in the afternoon, for the last
14:31
Speaker 1: hour of the day, then the baseball people come in
14:33
Speaker 1: and they go over the baseball stuff for an hour
14:36
Speaker 1: a day. Steinbrenner was in the shipping business when he
14:39
Speaker 1: bought the Yankees, but a couple of years into the Yankees,
14:42
Speaker 1: he sold off the business, sold the shipping business off,
14:45
Speaker 1: he had other businesses, turned him over to his sons.
14:48
Speaker 1: So then for the rest of all those decades he
14:51
Speaker 1: did nothing else except nine ten hours a day worked
14:55
Speaker 1: on baseball nothing else, just that. So that's the problem.
14:59
Speaker 1: If you're Steve Cohne or somebody else, you're going to
15:01
Speaker 1: have to give up everything else, immerse yourself into baseball,
15:05
Speaker 1: do nothing but meet with baseball experts all day and
15:08
Speaker 1: night and get yourself a little more educated. Hey, we'll
15:11
Speaker 1: take some calls next. Eight hundred three two one zero
15:15
Speaker 1: seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one
15:19
Speaker 1: zero seven ten. Now back to the Mark Simone show
15:22
Speaker 1: on woo Hey, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three
15:29
Speaker 1: to two one zero seven ten is the number. Let's
15:31
Speaker 1: go to Mike in Brooklyn. Mike, how you doing.
15:35
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Mark, Mark. I'm just calling. I know
15:37
Speaker 4: on Tuesday truck President Trump spoke in Pennsylvania about working
15:41
Speaker 4: on Nashville concil carry reciprocity. Do you think we'll finally
15:44
Speaker 4: get some traction with it? Because I know he's.
15:46
Speaker 1: Been What did you say I spoke about, Oh.
15:50
Speaker 5: The National conceal Carry reciprocity.
15:52
Speaker 1: The National concealed Carry reciprocity. You gotta be careful. People
15:58
Speaker 1: are listening while they're driving in the car. We don't
16:00
Speaker 1: want them to doze off if we if we say
16:03
Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about the National carry conceal reciprocity,
16:08
Speaker 1: people just go, uh, do you have another subject.
16:13
Speaker 5: Well, he's been mentioning it since his first term, and
16:15
Speaker 5: you know.
16:16
Speaker 1: I've been careful not to pay attention to the I'm
16:18
Speaker 1: going to do that to some people do that all
16:21
Speaker 1: day today. It's anybody, what do you think about the
16:23
Speaker 1: National carry conceal reciprocity? Does that have to do with guns?
16:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a big issue.
16:31
Speaker 1: Now translated into English for us, what does it mean?
16:36
Speaker 1: It means a right to carry a.
16:38
Speaker 5: Gun corrects different state lines. If you okay, you state
16:43
Speaker 5: that you're allowed to go to different.
16:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, people might not realize you get a gun permit.
16:46
Speaker 1: It's not easy to do. But let's say somehow you
16:48
Speaker 1: got a gun permit for New York. You can't go
16:50
Speaker 1: into Connecticut with it. It's it's only valid in New York.
16:54
Speaker 1: So it's a big problem for private eyes. You know
16:57
Speaker 1: that they're chasing somebody or fall their tail. Somebody, a
17:00
Speaker 1: private eye got his New York gun permit and he's
17:03
Speaker 1: tailing somebody and they going to Greenwich, Connecticut, which is
17:06
Speaker 1: right over the state line. They have to stop. They
17:08
Speaker 1: can't take their gun into Connecticut. It's a crime. There
17:12
Speaker 1: is such a thing as a national permit, very hard
17:14
Speaker 1: to get. So what's the President trying to do? Create
17:16
Speaker 1: it so your permit will work in any state?
17:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's trying to pass the bilt.
17:20
Speaker 4: So let's say that your licensed in New York, you're
17:22
Speaker 4: able to carry across New Jersey Connecticut. As long as
17:25
Speaker 4: your license in one state, you're able to go to ANODA.
17:27
Speaker 1: And do you carry a gun? Yes, yeah, I could
17:31
Speaker 1: see why you needed. And so what do you do
17:34
Speaker 1: with your gun if you have to go to Connecticut?
17:37
Speaker 4: Well, I am licensed over there, but you know, not
17:40
Speaker 4: is licensed in multiple seats.
17:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's not easy. All right, Well, thanks
17:44
Speaker 1: for clearing it up for us. Take care. Let's go
17:46
Speaker 1: to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.
17:52
Speaker 6: Two quick things. One I read that online that excuse me,
17:56
Speaker 6: the estate of Leonard Cohen is objecting to them using
18:01
Speaker 6: the song Hallelujah for these two hundred and fiftieth celebration.
18:06
Speaker 1: Where are we getting where are we getting these subjects
18:09
Speaker 1: in national carry concealed reciprocity and the Estate of.
18:12
Speaker 6: Leonard for those Well, yeah, there's there's another one.
18:17
Speaker 1: For normal people. Leonard Cohen. He was some kind of
18:20
Speaker 1: folks sing or something in the sixties. Fifties.
18:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, fifty years ago, and they're worried about two hundred
18:26
Speaker 6: and fifty million people hearing a song they haven't heard, Okay.
18:29
Speaker 1: But Leonard Cohen was like a very obscure musical figure.
18:32
Speaker 1: He was like a very fifteenth string Bob Dylan kind
18:35
Speaker 1: of a guy. Right, yes, So what.
18:38
Speaker 6: Have another question?
18:39
Speaker 1: What kind of a state could this guy have had
18:41
Speaker 1: a dollar fifties?
18:42
Speaker 6: I can't imagine exactly. I can't imagine, although that song
18:46
Speaker 6: Hallelujah is fairly you know, fairly popular in quotes, But yeah,
18:53
Speaker 6: I knew that. I know that Sinatra like was pretty
18:57
Speaker 6: fond of Dinah Shore. Did you know Dinah? And what
19:00
Speaker 6: was she like? Was she is cute and cuddly and
19:03
Speaker 6: person that she seemed to be on the air.
19:05
Speaker 1: Well, you got a thing for Diana Shore, isn't it.
19:08
Speaker 6: I just well, you know, it's funny because when she
19:10
Speaker 6: was younger, she wasn't quite as appealing as when she
19:13
Speaker 6: sort of got a little bit older.
19:14
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she was. I didn't know her that well,
19:16
Speaker 1: but she used to come on my show all the
19:18
Speaker 1: time she was a big band singer, and then she
19:20
Speaker 1: became she was a really fine singer. You go back
19:23
Speaker 1: to the fifties, she made some phenomenal albums and she
19:26
Speaker 1: was a really good singer. And then in the sixties
19:28
Speaker 1: popular actually late fifties into the sixties, she did like
19:32
Speaker 1: the number one variety show in television. She was a
19:34
Speaker 1: huge star there. And then seventies and eighties she did
19:38
Speaker 1: that daytime show with a lot of cooking and stuff.
19:41
Speaker 1: And then she started dating Bert Reynolds, who was like
19:44
Speaker 1: the hottest sex symbol in America, and here was this
19:47
Speaker 1: older woman. It was a pretty good fibal yeah for
19:51
Speaker 1: Burt Reynolds, and now everybody liked her. I never heard
19:53
Speaker 1: a bad word about her.
19:54
Speaker 6: Very nice just seeing her as a singing partner.
19:57
Speaker 1: I mean, I know she was a he was a
20:00
Speaker 1: very very very fine singer. Go back and listen to
20:03
Speaker 1: go back and listen to her albums. There's one with
20:06
Speaker 1: Nelson Riddle that's phenomenal. There's one with just a piano
20:10
Speaker 1: I think it was Andre Previn, which is pretty amazing stuff.
20:13
Speaker 1: She did some serious musical work. So and remember in
20:16
Speaker 1: the fifties she was one of the two or three
20:19
Speaker 1: biggest stars in television had a number one variety show.
20:22
Speaker 1: Sinatra was a guest on it. She was on Sinatra's specials. Yeah,
20:26
Speaker 1: they were very good friends.
20:28
Speaker 6: What other female singers did Sinatra enjoy singing?
20:31
Speaker 1: Was number one? Would have Number one was Ella Fitzgerald.
20:35
Speaker 1: His idol was Billy Holiday, but she was kind of,
20:39
Speaker 1: you know, out of the business, out of the game
20:41
Speaker 1: by the time he came along, and Ella Fitzgerald would
20:45
Speaker 1: have been number one. They always wanted to make an
20:47
Speaker 1: album together, but the two record companies couldn't agree on everything.
20:50
Speaker 1: But yeah, go on YouTube and watch the TV specials
20:53
Speaker 1: with Ella and Frank Sinatra. Amazing stuff to check it out.
20:57
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for calling. Let's go to Vincent and
21:00
Speaker 1: up Vincent. What's going on? Good morning, Marca, Morning Marra. Yeah,
21:03
Speaker 1: Billy Holliday had that sound. She had the heroin junkie sound.
21:09
Speaker 1: Mark I Dick.
21:12
Speaker 7: Donald Trump was right for getting the big three oil
21:15
Speaker 7: companies the executives at the White House and reading them
21:18
Speaker 7: the Riot Act because me personally, I do think the
21:22
Speaker 7: gas companies are now price grouch. Again. I say this
21:26
Speaker 7: because yesterday I was at my car dealership to pick
21:30
Speaker 7: up my car and there's a gas station on the corner.
21:33
Speaker 7: Regular is as what you said, Regular was three dollars
21:37
Speaker 7: and eighty cents a gallon and high test was four
21:42
Speaker 7: dollars and sixty cents. The gas we're using now was
21:46
Speaker 7: produced long before the war, and a rack this gas
21:51
Speaker 7: prices should be coming down, definitely.
21:54
Speaker 1: I remember a lot of that's not the oil coming
21:56
Speaker 1: a lot of that's the state the city.
21:58
Speaker 7: Okay, well checked done that. And actually the State of
22:02
Speaker 7: New York has not raised the gas tax. It's still
22:07
Speaker 7: the same as it was during the first truck administration.
22:13
Speaker 7: Mark Mandami, I hoped Rent Guideline Board gets sued because
22:19
Speaker 7: this is gonna do this verdict of Devia not given
22:23
Speaker 7: even the two year leases a rent increase that's going
22:27
Speaker 7: to cause a lot of landlords to abandon their properties
22:31
Speaker 7: and to not make the necessary repairs. Mark, I get
22:34
Speaker 7: offers for these large rents stabilized buildings every day, and
22:39
Speaker 7: you know what I tell the broke is, why would
22:42
Speaker 7: I want to be partners with the City of New
22:44
Speaker 7: York on my business?
22:46
Speaker 1: I understand it's a disaster.
22:48
Speaker 7: It's a disaster.
22:50
Speaker 1: Ben Vincent, great call, Thanks for calling the Rent Board
22:54
Speaker 1: was Mamdani stacked it with all his cronies that passed
22:57
Speaker 1: this ridiculous rent freeze. And whenever these left wingers do
23:01
Speaker 1: this stuff, it always ends up creating less housing. Hey,
23:04
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that in the second and a whole
23:06
Speaker 1: lot more with the Great Steve Forbes. We'll talk to
23:09
Speaker 1: him next on seven to ten wo Mark Simone Show. Well,
23:16
Speaker 1: let's talk to the great Steve Forbes, chairman of Forbes Media,
23:21
Speaker 1: author of some great books. You should get his latest book, Inflation.
23:25
Speaker 1: He'll explain it a lot of stuff to but of
23:28
Speaker 1: course you should be reading Forbes every day. Steve Forbes,
23:31
Speaker 1: how you doing.
23:33
Speaker 5: Well?
23:34
Speaker 3: I'm personally doing fine. I stayed up to watch a
23:38
Speaker 3: certain soccer game last night. I'll just leave it at that,
23:41
Speaker 3: and watched before that the Yankees lose to Boston. So
23:47
Speaker 3: not a good way to begin Friday. But hopefully things
23:51
Speaker 3: will get better. The Mets now are getting a new
23:53
Speaker 3: manager after a miserable season, so things are astirring.
23:58
Speaker 1: I know, but you had the Nicks. That's enough for
24:01
Speaker 1: one year. What more could you ask for?
24:04
Speaker 3: Well, the Knicks just your what your appetite? They performed
24:07
Speaker 3: the miracle of one of the great miracles in the
24:09
Speaker 3: whole history of sports, and you figure, well, let's have
24:12
Speaker 3: some more.
24:13
Speaker 1: Wow, that's the problem. We get greedy, that's the problem.
24:18
Speaker 3: Hay No, no, no, we get excited. If the Knicks
24:22
Speaker 3: can do it, even the Mets might do it someday.
24:25
Speaker 1: Well that's a good point. If the Knicks can do it,
24:27
Speaker 1: anybody can do it. Hey, I'm looking at the price
24:29
Speaker 1: of oil right now, sixty nine dollars a barrel. That's
24:31
Speaker 1: pretty amazing, isn't it. That's that's almost back to pre war.
24:37
Speaker 5: Yeah.
24:37
Speaker 3: I think the when the war began in February, you
24:41
Speaker 3: obviously had the huge spike, but what was interesting was
24:45
Speaker 3: the futures markets going months out, six months, twelve months out.
24:50
Speaker 3: He had oil back in the seventies. So I think
24:52
Speaker 3: most people figured one way or the other. However, this
24:56
Speaker 3: thing is resolved when the markets reached some semblance of normalcy.
25:01
Speaker 3: Prices were going to come down, and the US is
25:04
Speaker 3: still doing all it can to ramp up production. And
25:08
Speaker 3: I think what's happening in the Strait of Hormuz. You're
25:11
Speaker 3: going to see in the next few years. It's happening already,
25:14
Speaker 3: the building of pipelines. So the dependence of those countries
25:19
Speaker 3: on the Straight of Hermos is going to decline dramatically,
25:23
Speaker 3: so the markets look to the future, and so we're
25:26
Speaker 3: going to be able to worry about other things than
25:28
Speaker 3: the price of gasoline.
25:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not a big fan of the you know,
25:33
Speaker 1: going after Iran, but nobody's a big plan.
25:36
Speaker 3: I thought, if you're going to go after it, you
25:38
Speaker 3: do it and not pause and cease fire and negotiating
25:41
Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff. They're stringing us along. And
25:44
Speaker 3: I've seen this movie before and we know what they've
25:48
Speaker 3: been for forty seven years. So you either do it
25:51
Speaker 3: or you don't. Yeah, I understand, of course you're right.
25:54
Speaker 3: But if you could stay in this holding pattern through
25:56
Speaker 3: the next few months, why not gives us a chance
25:59
Speaker 3: to restock arm and pick more targets. It's not a
26:03
Speaker 3: bad thing to get through the summer with this, is it. Well,
26:07
Speaker 3: he'll find a way to get through it, the president.
26:10
Speaker 3: But Iran now feels incredibly the world they live in
26:15
Speaker 3: that they've won this war. Yeah, they took a huge
26:17
Speaker 3: beating militarily. Our military performed superbly, as did the Israeli military,
26:23
Speaker 3: but they're still standing that regime and they figure that
26:26
Speaker 3: they've won strategically, that they've established deep facto control over
26:31
Speaker 3: the Strait and so we're gonna have trouble with them
26:34
Speaker 3: down the road, and it's going to be an irritant
26:38
Speaker 3: out there, a big bad one. And by the way,
26:41
Speaker 3: to show the world that we're not taking a powder
26:44
Speaker 3: on the world, I wish President Trump would it's on
26:47
Speaker 3: his desk, would approve the fourteen billion dollar arm sales
26:51
Speaker 3: to Taiwan, which Congress approved last January, just to show
26:56
Speaker 3: the world where where we're a player and we're not
26:58
Speaker 3: gonna let the bad guys run around.
27:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a very good point. Hey, Mamdani, and all
27:04
Speaker 1: these are crazy young socialists, you know. Oh well, he
27:07
Speaker 1: just stacked the rent board and now they passed this
27:09
Speaker 1: rent freeze. And why don't they ever realize that, you know,
27:13
Speaker 1: the smart educated young politicians, why don't they realize all
27:17
Speaker 1: this stuff they're doing, they've been tried a billion times,
27:19
Speaker 1: always fails. All this stuff they're doing for housing will
27:21
Speaker 1: create less housing. Why don't they ever see that?
27:28
Speaker 3: Well, part part of it is one they're dissatisfied and
27:33
Speaker 3: so they look for saviors of the wrong kind. But
27:38
Speaker 3: also there's not been effective opposition. And I think the
27:43
Speaker 3: people with resources in the city are realizing it's not
27:46
Speaker 3: just enough to say, oh, well, back another candidate. You've
27:49
Speaker 3: got to have people out there making the case, doing
27:52
Speaker 3: what the left is done, organizing, go door to door.
27:55
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, New York City, it's amazing Mondani
27:59
Speaker 3: wants to a few private landlords left New York as
28:03
Speaker 3: you known, You've made the point is the biggest slum
28:05
Speaker 3: lord around. You don't want to be in a city
28:08
Speaker 3: owned apartment. Try getting you know, with the rats and
28:11
Speaker 3: everything else running around, not talking about the politician, trying
28:15
Speaker 3: about the real rodents in those buildings, the lack of maintenance,
28:19
Speaker 3: and so the socialism is not working even now, and
28:24
Speaker 3: we've got to highlight that and and this anti semitism
28:28
Speaker 3: that goes unanswered. I mean that coffee shop, that guy
28:32
Speaker 3: should be prosecuted. You know, if you're open, if you
28:36
Speaker 3: have a facility for the public, you're supposed to serve
28:39
Speaker 3: the public.
28:40
Speaker 1: Period.
28:41
Speaker 3: You don't want to serve the public shut down. But
28:44
Speaker 3: he should be prosecuted for not serving. That congressman who
28:48
Speaker 3: knows going to be looking for work sadly, and I
28:51
Speaker 3: didn't like his politics, but he didn't like the reason
28:54
Speaker 3: he lost.
28:56
Speaker 1: Hey, you bring up a good point. Democrats and these
29:00
Speaker 1: that won in the primaries incredible ground game. They had
29:03
Speaker 1: amazing talent on the ground, knocking on doors, getting voters
29:07
Speaker 1: to the pulse. The problem the Republican Party in euro
29:09
Speaker 1: is not big enough. They don't have those kind of resources.
29:12
Speaker 1: And why is that? Is it because the National RNC
29:15
Speaker 1: just doesn't do anything. They're not paying attention to it.
29:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, part of it is it's sort of a
29:19
Speaker 3: self defeating circle. You feel you've got other more promising
29:23
Speaker 3: races around the country, so why poor resources in here?
29:28
Speaker 3: But the Democrats too, there are still some sensible ones left.
29:32
Speaker 3: Have got to get organized. You know, I'll be blunt
29:34
Speaker 3: about it. What you see organized here with these socialists.
29:38
Speaker 3: We haven't seen on the far left since the communist
29:42
Speaker 3: days of the forties, early fifties, late thirties, where they
29:45
Speaker 3: were extremely well organized. You know, Ronald Reagan headed the
29:48
Speaker 3: Actors Guild in Hollywood, and one of his big task
29:52
Speaker 3: was fighting the attempt to take over by the communists.
29:55
Speaker 3: They're taking over in those days, the unions and other institutions.
29:59
Speaker 3: We beat them back. We're going to have to do
30:01
Speaker 3: the same thing with this version today.
30:04
Speaker 1: Wow. So the fact that they were so successful and
30:07
Speaker 1: they got all these left wing socialist kooks in there
30:11
Speaker 1: in short term game, But in the long term, isn't
30:14
Speaker 1: that going to bring down the Democrats?
30:17
Speaker 3: Yes, because the Democrats are going to be in a
30:20
Speaker 3: tough position because even though most Democrats don't buy into
30:24
Speaker 3: this lunacy we saw in the primary here in New York,
30:28
Speaker 3: but the activists control the party. And so if you're
30:34
Speaker 3: going to run in twenty twenty eight, are you going
30:36
Speaker 3: to come out in favor of Israel other than a mumble,
30:41
Speaker 3: maybe not even a mumble. Are you going to come
30:43
Speaker 3: out against a national version of a national wealth tax?
30:47
Speaker 3: You know, these extremists being well organized, knowing that they
30:52
Speaker 3: can take a primary where no one votes, but the
30:54
Speaker 3: activists they can take you down. So they're going to
30:57
Speaker 3: be setting the tone of the party and that's not
30:59
Speaker 3: going to to be a winning issue for Republicans. Get
31:03
Speaker 3: their act together, we should win in twenty twenty eight.
31:07
Speaker 3: And you know, you see Newsom now squirming out in
31:10
Speaker 3: California with this wealth tax on the ballot, which looks
31:14
Speaker 3: like it might pass. He tried to find ways to
31:17
Speaker 3: try to get it off the ballot by bribing the
31:19
Speaker 3: unions thing, I'll give you money if you take it off.
31:23
Speaker 3: So this stuff doesn't This stuff is not going to
31:26
Speaker 3: go well nationally, and the Republicans have to come up
31:29
Speaker 3: with their own positive agenda, including health care, and we
31:34
Speaker 3: can beat these guys in twenty twenty eight resoundingly.
31:38
Speaker 1: Hey, Steve Forbes, we only go about thirty seconds left.
31:40
Speaker 1: Kevin Walsh off to a good start at the FED.
31:42
Speaker 3: The answer. The answer is yes, he's attacking this crazy
31:46
Speaker 3: idea that prosperity caused inflation. I think he's next going
31:50
Speaker 3: after him by bringing an outside task forces, which is
31:54
Speaker 3: usually a political punt. In this case, he's using outside people,
31:58
Speaker 3: recognized experts. It's to bring about changes and attack the institution.
32:03
Speaker 3: The institution, you can't do it from within, but when
32:06
Speaker 3: you have these outside task forces, they can't attack their credibility.
32:10
Speaker 3: And so he's going to bring about positive changes. Finally
32:13
Speaker 3: he knows how to do it, which is good we
32:16
Speaker 3: seek for us and for the world.
32:18
Speaker 1: Steve Forbes brilliant as always. Everybody should be reading the Forbes.
32:21
Speaker 1: Steve is the chairman of Forbes Media. Forbes of course
32:24
Speaker 1: online you can read it every day and get his
32:26
Speaker 1: book Inflation. You learn a lot from that book. It's
32:29
Speaker 1: a great book. And Steve Forbes, thanks for being with us.
