0:01
Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York has the Mark
0:04
Speaker 1: some own show on seven ten wor well, hey, summer today,
0:12
Speaker 1: We've got a little summer preview. It's going to be
0:14
Speaker 1: in the eighties. Today. It's tax day. Your taxes have
0:17
Speaker 1: to be filed by midnight tonight or you got a
0:21
Speaker 1: file for an extension and pay whatever you owe. But
0:25
Speaker 1: a lot of people scrambling to get that done today.
0:27
Speaker 1: So a lot to get to. We'll get to President
0:29
Speaker 1: Trump and Jesus. We'll get to Swawell, We'll get to
0:32
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie and his grocery stores. We'll get to Ukraine,
0:36
Speaker 1: We'll get to Officer Duran and a whole lot more
0:40
Speaker 1: coming up. So again I keep warning all your Democrats,
0:45
Speaker 1: all your Trump haters. The Jesus picture Trump posted, this
0:49
Speaker 1: will all be forgotten about in about two weeks. Nobody
0:52
Speaker 1: will remember this. The fight with the Pope. That's terrible.
0:55
Speaker 1: You can't fight with the pope. Well he did this
0:58
Speaker 1: before with the last Pope. Nobody and remembers. Nobody even
1:01
Speaker 1: remembers all. This will be forgotten about. In fact, President
1:04
Speaker 1: Trump posted another Jesus picture. This one's a little different.
1:09
Speaker 1: This is Jesus with his arm around Donald Trump. He
1:13
Speaker 1: posted that again today just to just to drive the
1:17
Speaker 1: radical left crazy, as he said, as he called him
1:19
Speaker 1: the radical left lunatics. It's not right. You shouldn't do
1:24
Speaker 1: that Jesus picture. You shouldn't fight with the pope. It's
1:27
Speaker 1: not right. But you can do it if you want.
1:29
Speaker 1: If you're Donald Trump, if you're Howard Stern, you can
1:32
Speaker 1: do that kind of stuff. And I think that's the
1:34
Speaker 1: key to all of it. You got to remember President Trump.
1:38
Speaker 1: He may be the greatest CEO ever in the world.
1:41
Speaker 1: He may be this incredible president, he's the most powerful
1:44
Speaker 1: man in the world, but he's from New York and
1:46
Speaker 1: he's still got a Howard Stern's side to him. And
1:48
Speaker 1: every so often he's going to do something outrageous or
1:51
Speaker 1: post something outrageous, something that you know, funny, interesting, he's
1:56
Speaker 1: going to act like a normal person. That was the
1:59
Speaker 1: whole idea, Howard's And by the way, in the beginning,
2:02
Speaker 1: he decided that he would go on the radio and
2:04
Speaker 1: just be himself, just do what people really do. And
2:08
Speaker 1: that's what people really do. Every so often, they curse
2:11
Speaker 1: and swear, every so often, they make a dirty joke,
2:13
Speaker 1: every so often, they say something outrageous, and he explained
2:17
Speaker 1: it once, he said, and I saw this too with
2:19
Speaker 1: my own experience. You know, when you'd be on the radio,
2:25
Speaker 1: especially in the good old days, the guy would go
2:27
Speaker 1: on the air and say, good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
2:29
Speaker 1: He was this formal radio person. As soon as the
2:31
Speaker 1: mic was closed, he's making dirty jokes. He's yelling and screaming,
2:34
Speaker 1: he's carrying on. And Stern was saying, you know, that
2:40
Speaker 1: guy is more interesting than the formal, proper guy on
2:44
Speaker 1: the radio. I'll just do that on the radio. So
2:46
Speaker 1: Trump's the same thing. When you're the president, you're supposed
2:49
Speaker 1: to be my fellow Americans, good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
2:52
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be very formal and very presidential. And
2:56
Speaker 1: Trump again, like Howard Stern kind of thing, deciding, you
2:59
Speaker 1: know what, I'm just gonna be the real meat. The
3:02
Speaker 1: stuff that he does that you think is outrageous. Obama
3:05
Speaker 1: did it, Clinton did it, Biden did it. They all
3:09
Speaker 1: do it. When the mic is off and the cameras
3:12
Speaker 1: are a way, they're cursing and screaming, making dirty jokes.
3:15
Speaker 1: I've seen it with my own eyes. Nobody cursed more
3:18
Speaker 1: than Obama, Biden, Clinton, Hillary, and I mean the dirtiest words,
3:23
Speaker 1: the most awful jokes, just outrageous stuff flying out of
3:28
Speaker 1: their mouth. That's behind the scenes. But Trump decided there's
3:31
Speaker 1: going to be absolutely no phoniness. I'm going to be
3:33
Speaker 1: the real meat. Now is this a big change in politics?
3:39
Speaker 1: Is this going to be the future? Trump's a very
3:43
Speaker 1: very unique guy. Very few people could ever pull off
3:46
Speaker 1: what he does. They just wouldn't have the nerve, or
3:48
Speaker 1: they'd be too embarrassed, or they're too proper to do it.
3:52
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know when he goes I
3:54
Speaker 1: mean talk now as it could be Rubio, it could
3:56
Speaker 1: be jd Vance. They're not the type they would go
3:58
Speaker 1: back to, very proper politician. You have to kind of
4:05
Speaker 1: be born with this talent that Trump has to be outrageous,
4:07
Speaker 1: and it takes incredible nerves. I don't think you'll ever
4:10
Speaker 1: see it again, but it's fascinating to watch as it unfolds.
4:17
Speaker 1: The war could be over, he's telling people, he told
4:20
Speaker 1: Maria Bartioma on an interview, and he's told people privately,
4:24
Speaker 1: the war is basically over. We may have to go
4:27
Speaker 1: back to some sort of combat, but it would just
4:30
Speaker 1: be like mopping up stuff. It wouldn't be a real
4:32
Speaker 1: full blown comment. First of all, there's not left to
4:35
Speaker 1: take out for combat. It'd be basically just clean up,
4:39
Speaker 1: mopping up. And then as far as that nuclear material,
4:41
Speaker 1: if they won't hand it over, we may have to
4:43
Speaker 1: go in and collect it and pick it up. But
4:46
Speaker 1: that's not that hard. And you're saying, well, that's boots
4:50
Speaker 1: on the ground. Yeah, well we already did boots on
4:52
Speaker 1: the ground last week. The week before, we did boots
4:55
Speaker 1: on the ground twice. When that plane crash, we had
4:58
Speaker 1: to get the first airman and the boots on the
5:01
Speaker 1: ground had to go in and rescue him. And the
5:03
Speaker 1: second one was tough. That was a long operation. It
5:06
Speaker 1: was like a thirty six hour operation with boots on
5:08
Speaker 1: the ground. So we've done it twice already. Now, why
5:12
Speaker 1: the confusing messaging the war's over, Well, maybe it's not over.
5:16
Speaker 1: The talks are done. That's it. Well, maybe we're going
5:18
Speaker 1: back to talks. It's very confusing for us, and the
5:22
Speaker 1: good news is it's done deliberately. It's even more confusing
5:26
Speaker 1: to the enemy. They don't know how to read him,
5:28
Speaker 1: they don't know what to expect. Now you'll see all
5:30
Speaker 1: these left wing fake news talking heads saying what happened
5:34
Speaker 1: to the art of the deal? Obviously he doesn't know
5:36
Speaker 1: the art of the deal. Obviously, this is he's in
5:39
Speaker 1: over his head. He doesn't know what he's doing. Well,
5:40
Speaker 1: that always appears to be the case with him, and
5:43
Speaker 1: then come back in a few weeks everything got taken
5:46
Speaker 1: care of. So it's like the Jesus picture. It's like
5:49
Speaker 1: the Pope fight. You watch all these talking it. This
5:52
Speaker 1: is it. He's done so much damage to himself, even
5:55
Speaker 1: with his own base, he has done so much to him.
5:58
Speaker 1: Three weeks from now, nobody will remember any of this.
6:00
Speaker 1: It'll all be gone. I love My favorite fight though,
6:03
Speaker 1: is Tom Holman and the Pope. I mean the Pope.
6:06
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to fight with the Pope, but he
6:08
Speaker 1: really was out of line. He has no business defending
6:11
Speaker 1: the Iranian regime as they slaughtered people in the streets.
6:14
Speaker 1: They just slaughtered thirty thousand protesters in the street. There's
6:18
Speaker 1: some more protesters. They're about to execute them in a
6:20
Speaker 1: very brutal way. One is a woman. They're going to
6:23
Speaker 1: execute her and then kill her family for protesting. They've
6:27
Speaker 1: also announced they got sixteen hundred more hers that they're
6:30
Speaker 1: going to execute the watch. The Pope won't have a
6:32
Speaker 1: word to say about this. He'll be totally silent about this.
6:35
Speaker 1: But Tom Holman took on the pope.
6:37
Speaker 2: I'm a lifelong Catholic, baptize, first Communion, confirmation. I love
6:43
Speaker 2: the Catholic Church. I just wish they stick to fixing
6:46
Speaker 2: the church because there's issues. I know cause I'm a
6:49
Speaker 2: member and still a politics.
6:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, what about the Epstein files. Where's the Epstein file?
6:56
Speaker 1: You know this is all you heard for weeks? Well,
6:58
Speaker 1: where's the swallwhelf? I want to see these Swallowell files.
7:02
Speaker 1: You know, it turns out everybody you talk to in Congress.
7:06
Speaker 1: I'm talking to former congressman, current congressman, everybody in Congress,
7:10
Speaker 1: they're all telling the same thing. Everybody knew how bad
7:14
Speaker 1: he was. Oh, he was awful, but you cow wouldn't
7:16
Speaker 1: let a woman anywhere near him. You couldn't let him
7:17
Speaker 1: near anybody. He was the worst. He was awful. It
7:20
Speaker 1: was disgusted. Well why did you keep it all quiet?
7:23
Speaker 1: Why'd you cover it up? Forever and ever? So some
7:26
Speaker 1: of these people coming forward, women who were claiming they
7:29
Speaker 1: were alleging they were raped, they were drugged. They seem
7:32
Speaker 1: pretty credible. I mean it's a little suspicious. It's eight
7:34
Speaker 1: years later. But at the time they said they were afraid.
7:38
Speaker 1: He was a big congressman, he was an attorney. They
7:41
Speaker 1: were afraid to go up against him. It's a scary
7:43
Speaker 1: thought that Takana congressman publicly legally, So why not how
7:49
Speaker 1: come they're not afraid now? Well, as they keep telling you,
7:52
Speaker 1: somebody's behind this, not that it's not all true, but
7:56
Speaker 1: somebody put this all together, like the twenty seven accusers,
7:59
Speaker 1: all at once, unleashed all at once. This was packaged
8:03
Speaker 1: and timed. Who could it be? Well, it takes a
8:06
Speaker 1: lot of money. You know, there's a billionaire running against
8:08
Speaker 1: him in California who wants him out. Could be that,
8:12
Speaker 1: could be other big Democratic donors that want him out.
8:15
Speaker 1: You know, if you got a big, powerful billionaire, how
8:17
Speaker 1: do you do this? Well, these women are so afraid
8:20
Speaker 1: to come forward, and this has been done before. You
8:23
Speaker 1: put a ton of money towards their case. You get
8:25
Speaker 1: them the best lawyers in the world, You get them
8:27
Speaker 1: everything they need, lawyers, public relations people, bodyguards, whatever they want.
8:32
Speaker 1: And then they suddenly come forward, and some of these
8:34
Speaker 1: victims was kind of moving.
8:36
Speaker 3: While he was choking me. I lost consciousness and I
8:41
Speaker 3: thought I died. I did not consent to any sexual activity,
8:49
Speaker 3: although I did not undergo a rape kit at the time.
8:53
Speaker 3: I disclosed the assault to the people closest to me.
8:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh uh, you know it was that the who's
9:02
Speaker 1: the woman that went the nut job that went after Trump?
9:05
Speaker 1: Egene Caroll? And nobody bought that story because she's always
9:07
Speaker 1: been a publicity stunt, hustler, type of publicity hound type
9:13
Speaker 1: of a woman. And she couldn't tell you what year,
9:17
Speaker 1: or she couldn't give any details. These women, it's different.
9:20
Speaker 1: These seem more credible.
9:21
Speaker 3: When I arrived at his hotel room, I was already
9:26
Speaker 3: incapacitated and I couldn't move my arms or my body.
9:34
Speaker 3: He raped me and he choked me, and while he
9:43
Speaker 3: was choking me, I lost consciousness.
9:46
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, he's facing criminal charges. There's one thing to
9:49
Speaker 1: be expelled from Congress. It's one thing to end your
9:51
Speaker 1: political career. But he's facing criminal charges here in Manhattan,
9:55
Speaker 1: and imagine there'll be criminal charges in other places. And
9:58
Speaker 1: if all of this is true, he's got serious, serious
10:03
Speaker 1: prison time coming. Whenever you hear the it's one thing
10:05
Speaker 1: that you know, sexual harassment, but when you hear the
10:08
Speaker 1: word raped, when you hear the word drugged, when you
10:11
Speaker 1: hear the word choked. Here in real, real trouble.
10:15
Speaker 3: My delay in taking action against Eric was driven by fear,
10:18
Speaker 3: not doubt, fear of his political power, his background as
10:24
Speaker 3: an attorney, and his family law enforcement ties.
10:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, now he's the Epstein, the new Epstein of the
10:32
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. Because it seems everybody seemed to know about it.
10:35
Speaker 1: All these people in Congress, they're all being asked about it.
10:38
Speaker 4: It's known that widely in DC that he is I
10:41
Speaker 4: don't even think womanizer covers it.
10:45
Speaker 5: Sexually harasses women.
10:48
Speaker 1: They all knew about they all, And I'm being told
10:50
Speaker 1: that by all kinds of people in Congress, and they
10:52
Speaker 1: all knew it all.
10:52
Speaker 4: Slowly they became more and more explicit, asking me what
10:57
Speaker 4: I was wearing. Than one night he was on a
11:00
Speaker 4: trip and he was laying in his hotel room bed,
11:04
Speaker 4: and then he sent me a photo of his penis.
11:08
Speaker 1: Here you go, let me explain something to you men
11:11
Speaker 1: out there. See, the problem is you get a lot
11:13
Speaker 1: of these guys, they spend their whole life in an office,
11:15
Speaker 1: their whole life in a job doing some They don't
11:18
Speaker 1: know how to flirt with a woman. They don't know
11:20
Speaker 1: how to do it. Do not send a picture of
11:23
Speaker 1: your penis. This appeals to no woman. If they all think,
11:26
Speaker 1: whoa when she sees this? WHOA is she going to get?
11:29
Speaker 1: They don't want to see that. It's the absolute opposite
11:33
Speaker 1: effect of what you think. Do you want to get
11:36
Speaker 1: a woman excited, Send her a picture of you with
11:39
Speaker 1: a dog, holding your little puppy. That and then they
11:41
Speaker 1: like you, send a picture of you with a little
11:44
Speaker 1: child or something. Send send a picture of you cooking dinner.
11:47
Speaker 1: That's more. They do not want to see your penis.
11:51
Speaker 1: It doesn't work. Now, if a woman were to send
11:53
Speaker 1: a guy a picture of her body parts, the guy
11:56
Speaker 1: would immediately be drooling and madly in love. It doesn't
12:00
Speaker 1: work the opposite way. You have to realize said now
12:02
Speaker 1: Pelosi knew Pelosi. She won't tell you that she was
12:06
Speaker 1: asked about it.
12:07
Speaker 5: Some Republicans and others are saying that Democrats turned kind
12:10
Speaker 5: of a blind eye, that they knew.
12:12
Speaker 1: What he was up.
12:12
Speaker 5: Now, that is absolutely positive.
12:15
Speaker 3: It's true that they may say that, but it is
12:17
Speaker 3: absolutely no idea, none whatsoever.
12:21
Speaker 1: No idea none. What's if I knew about it? She
12:26
Speaker 1: knew about it. So but he's the new Epstein. He's
12:31
Speaker 1: the new Epstein. Hey, Hakeem Jeffries. If you read the
12:34
Speaker 1: Epstein files, a lot of Hakeem Jeffries in those Epstein files.
12:37
Speaker 1: He was begging Epstein to come on board as a donor.
12:41
Speaker 1: He was begging Epstein to come to a dinner. He
12:43
Speaker 1: was all over Repps. Now, in his defense, Epstein was
12:49
Speaker 1: a big political donor and he wrote big checks to
12:52
Speaker 1: campaigns and policy. Once you donate to any big campaign,
12:56
Speaker 1: all the other campaigns by the mailing lists of the donors.
12:59
Speaker 1: So if you gave a ton of money to Chuck
13:02
Speaker 1: Schumer running for Senate, all the other Democrats by the
13:05
Speaker 1: donor list, so they'll see you. You give a lot
13:07
Speaker 1: of money Schumer, I'll get him. So if you're HAKEM. Jeffries,
13:10
Speaker 1: you start bombarding the guy with emails asking for donations.
13:14
Speaker 1: And if you're not getting a donation, well then you
13:16
Speaker 1: invite them to dinner. You offer them all kinds of things.
13:20
Speaker 1: So that's what Jeffries did. A lot of people do it.
13:23
Speaker 1: Charities do it too. You know, they get a whole
13:25
Speaker 1: the charities. If you're on a big, big charity and
13:29
Speaker 1: the other charities are having their gala dinner, you go
13:31
Speaker 1: to the gala dinner to steal the program the book
13:35
Speaker 1: because it lists all the donors and thanks all the donors.
13:37
Speaker 1: You steal that book and then you contact all those donors.
13:41
Speaker 1: But Epstein was asked about soliciting Jeffreys was asked about
13:46
Speaker 1: soliciting Epstein all the time.
13:47
Speaker 6: Was that a serious question or a serious statement from
13:52
Speaker 6: malignant clown James Comer that I had Jeffrey Epstein over
13:56
Speaker 6: for dinner, that I accepted money from Jeffstein. What's extraordinary
14:01
Speaker 6: to me about the clown show on the other side
14:04
Speaker 6: of the out is that they live with impunity.
14:07
Speaker 1: Yes, it's not true. He did not have him over
14:11
Speaker 1: dinner for dinner, but he did beg him to come
14:15
Speaker 1: over to dinner. He did not take money from him.
14:19
Speaker 1: But if you'll check the files, about four hundred times
14:21
Speaker 1: he wrote them begging him for money. So it's not true,
14:24
Speaker 1: but it's slightly. It's true in spirit, not to the
14:28
Speaker 1: letter though. Hey, we'll get to mom Donnie coming up
14:31
Speaker 1: his grocery stores Apparently this is going to be the
14:34
Speaker 1: biggest fiasco ever in history, the first grocery store. He's
14:40
Speaker 1: going to spend thirty million to put it together. Grocery
14:43
Speaker 1: store owners tell me normal costs would be one to
14:46
Speaker 1: two million, and that's with paying rent. This guy's got
14:50
Speaker 1: free space to the owns and he's still going to
14:52
Speaker 1: pay thirty million. If you gave that to a real
14:55
Speaker 1: grocery store chain, they could open fifteen locations with thirty million.
15:01
Speaker 1: So right there, he's wasting all the money in the world.
15:04
Speaker 1: Selection will be horrible. Uh Mom, Donnie is kind of
15:09
Speaker 1: admitting now that the discount will only be on a
15:11
Speaker 1: handful of items, not on everything else. They're going to
15:14
Speaker 1: be the dirtiest, filthiest locations you've ever seen. Anyway, we'll
15:18
Speaker 1: get back. We'll get to that coming up. We got
15:19
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about. Uh, hey, we'll take some
15:22
Speaker 1: calls next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
15:26
Speaker 1: is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven tenw.
15:31
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Mark Simone show.

15:55
Speaker 8: where he accused the pope but starting something excuse me
15:58
Speaker 8: nineteen three three with eight al Phi, which is a
16:01
Speaker 8: true story. You would think that after this the popes
16:04
Speaker 8: would stay out a politics.
16:06
Speaker 1: Well they don't. There have been a number of times
16:08
Speaker 1: through the years. You sound a little out of breath.

Speaker 9: Just two quick things. One, leave it to President Trump
16:35
Speaker 9: to finally bring peace between the left and the Catholic
16:38
Speaker 9: Church and Christian in general. Another, another feather at his cap.
16:43
Speaker 9: But the thing, the Swawall case is interesting. It's a
16:46
Speaker 9: real to me, it's a real classic mobster thing.
16:49
Speaker 5: You know.
16:49
Speaker 9: Cloy they had something on him and they said to them, Okay, this.
16:52
Speaker 10: Is what we have on you. Now, you're going to
16:55
Speaker 10: do out dirty work for you. You're going to be
16:57
Speaker 10: a henchman. You're going to go after Trump, you know
16:59
Speaker 10: twoson there. You're gonna bring up you know, you're going
17:01
Speaker 10: to lead the charge on the Russia collusion thing.
17:04
Speaker 9: And all of that stuff. And then you know, we'll
17:07
Speaker 9: let you stay in office until we're done with you.
17:08
Speaker 9: And then they took him into a back alley and
17:12
Speaker 9: left them in a garbage bin.
17:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, very good, Yeah, no, I agree, excellent. Yeah, he
17:17
Speaker 1: was very useful till he started running for governor California,
17:20
Speaker 1: got some traction, and he became so high in the
17:25
Speaker 1: polls it's hard to explain. They have this what they
17:28
Speaker 1: call a jungle primary in California, Republicans, Democrats all in
17:32
Speaker 1: the same primary. But he rose up at his numbers
17:35
Speaker 1: were high enough that it was screwing them up and
17:38
Speaker 1: that it would have helped the Republicans in that primary.
17:40
Speaker 1: It was dividing up the Democratic vote. So they had
17:43
Speaker 1: to get him out of there. And apparently wouldn't listen.
17:46
Speaker 1: So they got him out of there. Let's go to
17:48
Speaker 1: Sarah in Manhattan. Sarah, how you doing.
17:52
Speaker 11: Hi, Mark, how are you good? But I just don't know.
17:57
Speaker 11: You mentioned Hillary wanting to run yesterday, and she was
17:59
Speaker 11: so missive about Monica Lewinsky and whether Bill should have resigned.
18:04
Speaker 11: How does she think she's going to run with the
18:06
Speaker 11: me too movement, the Epstein files, now the Swallowell files.
18:12
Speaker 11: I don't know what planet she's on. Really, I can't
18:14
Speaker 11: imagine any woman supporting her.
18:17
Speaker 8: Yeah.
18:17
Speaker 1: Well, she was always the most delusional woman in the world.
18:20
Speaker 1: Great point, Sarah, Thanks for calling. She was always totally delusional. Yeah,
18:24
Speaker 1: she's doing she We think she's running again. Yesterday she
18:26
Speaker 1: ran around doing a million interviews. When Monica Lewinsky came up,
18:30
Speaker 1: it was it was, Oh, that's nothing, Oh that's okay,
18:34
Speaker 1: It was nothing. Meantime, she and Bill fought over that
18:39
Speaker 1: so much. Remember was it on the air or off
18:41
Speaker 1: the air? Here I had some of their Secret Service here,
18:45
Speaker 1: the detail that protected Bill during his time in the
18:49
Speaker 1: White House, and they were telling me that it got
18:52
Speaker 1: so bad between the Clintons in private that she would
18:56
Speaker 1: hit him. She once threw a lamp at him. And
19:01
Speaker 1: in the Secret Service, when you're protecting a president, you're
19:03
Speaker 1: not allowed to let anybody hurt him or hit him.
19:09
Speaker 1: So they didn't know what to do. This is his
19:10
Speaker 1: own wife hitting him in private. So they were telling
19:14
Speaker 1: us they had to go to the head of the
19:15
Speaker 1: Secret Service. They had to have a meeting to decide
19:17
Speaker 1: what to do if when she went after him physically,
19:21
Speaker 1: if it got brutal, what would they do? It's his wife,
19:25
Speaker 1: do they stop her? So there was a big meeting
19:28
Speaker 1: head of the Secret Service, everybody, and then they decided, yes,
19:30
Speaker 1: you would have to restrain her. You would have to
19:33
Speaker 1: grab the first lady and pull her away. You can't
19:36
Speaker 1: let her beat up the president, which apparently she tried
19:38
Speaker 1: to do a number of times. Let's go to Anthony
19:41
Speaker 1: and Staten Island. Anthony, how you doing?
19:44
Speaker 12: Okay? Mark, could you clarify? Is it thirty million dollars
19:50
Speaker 12: for one free grocery books or is it thirty million
19:55
Speaker 12: right out over the far.
19:56
Speaker 1: Burw No, it's uh. He's talking about he's talking in
20:00
Speaker 1: about five grocery stores. And he originally said it would
20:04
Speaker 1: cost seventy million dollars for the five grocery stores, one
20:07
Speaker 1: in each borrow. And now it turns out the first
20:12
Speaker 1: one will cost thirty million, So that means that the
20:15
Speaker 1: total cost would be one hundred and fifty million, not
20:18
Speaker 1: the seventy like he said. So he's talking about thirty
20:20
Speaker 1: million for one grocery store. And this is the easiest
20:23
Speaker 1: one because he owns the space. It's free space. Now
20:28
Speaker 1: when he says thirty million, you know it's the government.
20:30
Speaker 1: So by the time they get it done, it'll be
20:31
Speaker 1: fifty eight million. And it makes no sense at all.
20:35
Speaker 1: Every grocery store owner told me that you could open
20:37
Speaker 1: a grocery store for a million if you wanted to
20:40
Speaker 1: really go all out. Two million mean to equip it,
20:44
Speaker 1: put everything in. So where's the thirty million going? Obviously
20:48
Speaker 1: they'd hand out contracts. This is like when the Deblasios
20:52
Speaker 1: tried that Operation Thrive or whatever the hell that was
20:55
Speaker 1: a billion dollars was spent. Nobody knows where the hell
20:58
Speaker 1: it went go to. Rich Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you doing?
21:03
Speaker 8: Hey?
21:03
Speaker 7: Thanks Mark. You know they asked Pelosi if you knew
21:05
Speaker 7: anything about it, and you can't tell she's lying because
21:07
Speaker 7: her face doesn't move anymore. Yeah, you're looking at her,
21:10
Speaker 7: you know. You know if you listen to the statement
21:12
Speaker 7: the woman made about swallow you. So she said she
21:15
Speaker 7: didn't come forward for eight years because first she was
21:17
Speaker 7: going to run for city council in La. Then he
21:20
Speaker 7: was going to help her with a software company, and
21:22
Speaker 7: I guess all the stuff fell through, So now they
21:24
Speaker 7: don't need him anymore. But now she'll come forward after
21:27
Speaker 7: eight years because I guess she didn't get what she wanted.
21:29
Speaker 7: You know, these women they take eight years, nine years.
21:32
Speaker 7: Look at the kavanol one, the one that went after Trump.
21:34
Speaker 7: I don't remember the day of the year of where
21:36
Speaker 7: we were, but yeah, he assaulted me. If these women
21:38
Speaker 7: can't come forward immediately or within your six months or
21:42
Speaker 7: a year, you can't believe it these women what they're
21:44
Speaker 7: telling you anymore. And I want to ask you one.
21:46
Speaker 1: To Sometimes sometimes that's the case. But sometimes, and we've
21:50
Speaker 1: seen this before with Reid Hoffman, with other billionaires, Sometimes
21:54
Speaker 1: a billionaire finds them and says, I will hire you
21:57
Speaker 1: the five finest attorneys in the world. I'll hire you
21:59
Speaker 1: an army of pr people, bodyguard, and then they'll come forward.
22:03
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's what it is.
22:04
Speaker 7: But if she wanted to want the City council of
22:06
Speaker 7: LA she wanted certain things, I guess she didn't get them. Well,
22:09
Speaker 7: she lost the election. Now she wants to go after himself.
22:12
Speaker 7: Let me ask you have you seen these baby Trump memes,
22:14
Speaker 7: these little videos, these baby Trump things on Facebook. Of
22:17
Speaker 7: course they're sterical. I just found him the other day.
22:20
Speaker 7: I mean, they got this guy down to a t
22:22
Speaker 7: and the Kamala Harris. It's hysterical. People should go look
22:24
Speaker 7: for these. They're biting up my day every day.
22:26
Speaker 1: Ye yeah, they're all over Twitter, they're all over Facebook.
22:28
Speaker 1: They're great. Hey, when we come back, we'll talk to
22:32
Speaker 1: Roger Friedman, the great entertainment reporter. I don't know that
22:34
Speaker 1: rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Choices this year.
22:37
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that and a whole lot more, and
22:39
Speaker 1: how's Broadway doing, And we'll get to all of that
22:41
Speaker 1: coming up on seven to ten wor.
22:44
Speaker 5: Mister New York. Hey, that's Marksimon seven ten wor. Well.
22:50
Speaker 1: Roger Friedman is the great entertainment reporter. And he's got
22:53
Speaker 1: this wonderful website called jo biz for one one dot com.
22:57
Speaker 1: You should check it every day. There's all kinds of
22:59
Speaker 1: great stories, new stuff all the time. Showbiz for one
23:02
Speaker 1: one dot com. Roger Friedman, how you doing.
23:06
Speaker 5: I'm great? How are you this morning?
23:08
Speaker 1: Very good? Hey? Tell us about Billy Crystal makes a
23:11
Speaker 1: big announcement yesterday new Broadway show.
23:14
Speaker 5: No, well, he was on Stephen Colbert last night, and
23:20
Speaker 5: he came to say goodbye to Stephen Colbert because he's
23:22
Speaker 5: going off the air next month. And the Colbert shows
23:25
Speaker 5: from the Ed Sullivan Theater where Billy got his start
23:29
Speaker 5: on Ed Sullivan. So he came.
23:31
Speaker 1: He was on it Sullivan.
23:33
Speaker 5: I guess he was at the very end of the
23:35
Speaker 5: Ed Sullivan Show.
23:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, he must have been so young.
23:38
Speaker 5: He was pretty young.
23:39
Speaker 1: Wow.
23:39
Speaker 5: So anyway, he came back. He came back to do
23:43
Speaker 5: a little stick to celebrate the fiftieth, not the fiftieth,
23:49
Speaker 5: his anniversary of having been there first and now to
23:54
Speaker 5: be last. And then he announced that he's doing a
23:57
Speaker 5: Broadway show this fall. It's a one man show. You know,
24:01
Speaker 5: he's done so many great one man shows, like seven
24:03
Speaker 5: hundred sundaysh and this one's called eight sixty and it's
24:08
Speaker 5: about everything that happened to him in La the last
24:12
Speaker 5: couple of years, with the fires and all the rest
24:14
Speaker 5: of it. So it'll be for twelve weeks this fall.
24:20
Speaker 5: You know, it'll be funny. In fact, the minute the
24:23
Speaker 5: tickets go on sale, which I think is April twenty eighth,
24:27
Speaker 5: they'll sell out completely, like in the first hour, because
24:31
Speaker 5: you know, we love him, he's a real New Yorker.
24:34
Speaker 1: When they say limited run twelve weeks, that's so in
24:37
Speaker 1: case it doesn't work, they can close and hopefully it
24:40
Speaker 1: takes off, and then they extend it, right so it
24:42
Speaker 1: could run for.
24:43
Speaker 5: Well, in his case, it's not gonna you know, it's
24:46
Speaker 5: not going to not take off. It's going to be
24:48
Speaker 5: it'll be sold out immediately. So the question is, well
24:51
Speaker 5: he stayed for any time after that, and he may
24:55
Speaker 5: take a break and then come back because that's exhausting,
24:58
Speaker 5: you know, Billy Crystal not twenty five anymore either, am
25:02
Speaker 5: I He did.
25:03
Speaker 1: Seven hundred Sundays for a long time, right.
25:06
Speaker 5: He did. He did, so hopefully he'll do it, and
25:12
Speaker 5: he seems pretty into it.
25:13
Speaker 1: I love that. The best was Larry David, who said
25:16
Speaker 1: it's a dream to be on Broadway. Then he does
25:18
Speaker 1: that show after about six weeks of the same lines
25:21
Speaker 1: every night, he can't wait to get the hell out
25:22
Speaker 1: of there.
25:24
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, Larry David's show was a play and it was
25:27
Speaker 5: no good so and he's not I don't think he
25:32
Speaker 5: really likes stand up anymore because of curd your enthusiasm.
25:34
Speaker 5: He's so used to being in the show. But anyway, Yes,
25:38
Speaker 5: a lot of people find Broadway grueling, you know, when
25:42
Speaker 5: they get there, they think it'll be a lot of fun.
25:44
Speaker 5: And this is why you see a lot of Hollywood
25:46
Speaker 5: stars come into plays, especially around Tony time, and the
25:49
Speaker 5: play is just for a two month run or a
25:50
Speaker 5: three month run, and that's it. We have a lot
25:53
Speaker 5: of that going on right now. But Billy Crystal will
25:58
Speaker 5: be great tonight on Broadway. By the way, I'm going
26:01
Speaker 5: to see Adrian Brody uh in The Fear of Thirteen
26:05
Speaker 5: and he has, you know, won the Oscar this year,
26:07
Speaker 5: just recently, and he has two Oscars for Best Actor
26:12
Speaker 5: and it's going to be really exciting.
26:16
Speaker 6: Now.
26:16
Speaker 1: There are some people who just go to Broadway all
26:18
Speaker 1: the time. They got every playbill, they just can't wait
26:21
Speaker 1: for the next brother they do. Then there are other
26:23
Speaker 1: people that can't sit through those things for a couple
26:25
Speaker 1: of hours.
26:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, some of them are hard to They're hard to
26:29
Speaker 5: sit there if they're bad.
26:30
Speaker 1: Yeah.
26:32
Speaker 5: I used to try to go to every single thing,
26:34
Speaker 5: but of course it's hard to do anymore. And this
26:38
Speaker 5: has been a busy season right now, but it's a
26:42
Speaker 5: good season. So and I told you last week there's
26:46
Speaker 5: a great play that's just opened called Becky Shaw. There's
26:49
Speaker 5: a lot of terrific stuff going on. So he.
26:53
Speaker 1: Opened.
26:53
Speaker 5: That's exciting.
26:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll be good Sunday night. What the show that opened,
26:57
Speaker 1: the Titanic Titanic? Yeah, I saw this off Broadway. It's
27:04
Speaker 1: been around for a while. It's like a parody of Titanic.
27:09
Speaker 1: It's kind of wild, it's very broad.
27:11
Speaker 5: Uh, it's a it's a parody of the Titanic movie
27:15
Speaker 5: and they have the main character is Selene Dion. So
27:19
Speaker 5: they have an actress who plays Celine Dion and they
27:22
Speaker 5: sing you know that song my Heart goes On from
27:24
Speaker 5: the show from the movie, and they carry very campy.
27:28
Speaker 5: It's it's not a it's not a like a you know,
27:31
Speaker 5: a new musical. It's a it's like a forever Broadway
27:34
Speaker 5: kind of thing.
27:37
Speaker 1: It's a great idea comedy version of Titanic.
27:40
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, especially if you love Titanic or you
27:44
Speaker 5: love Selene de Odd, it's definitely the thing to see.
27:47
Speaker 5: It's definitely the thing to say. Aren't you excited? Aren't
27:51
Speaker 5: you excited about Madonna? She announced the new album. This Morning.
27:55
Speaker 1: Got to be honest, I'm not that thrilled.
27:58
Speaker 5: Come on, it's Donna.
28:00
Speaker 1: It's on the it's almost sixty eight. Yeah, it's on
28:03
Speaker 1: the Nursing Home label. It's Madonna. Let me ask you
28:08
Speaker 1: a question, who the hell's going to play it? Where's
28:09
Speaker 1: it going to get played?
28:11
Speaker 5: It's not gonna get played, well, get played in dance.
28:13
Speaker 5: It's a dance album. It's a sequel to her two
28:16
Speaker 5: thousand and five album Confessions on a Dance Floor, And
28:20
Speaker 5: it's going to be, you know, for clubs. It's going
28:22
Speaker 5: to be for dance clubs. And we'll see if there's
28:25
Speaker 5: a song for the radio. It's very hard for older
28:29
Speaker 5: or any older artists, not just Madonna, to get played
28:32
Speaker 5: on the radio.
28:33
Speaker 1: You know Madonna, But that's forty years ago. If I
28:35
Speaker 1: went down to Z one hundred and I said I
28:37
Speaker 1: got the new Madonna album, They're all going to go, who.
28:41
Speaker 11: I do?
28:42
Speaker 5: That's a problem. Well, the her one her one compromise
28:48
Speaker 5: will be that I think that she's releasing a single
28:50
Speaker 5: with Sabrina Carpenter, who is the number one you know
28:54
Speaker 5: Madonna like kid of this generation. Yeah, and although she
29:00
Speaker 5: is a lot cleaner but apparently she's got to do
29:03
Speaker 5: it coming with Sabrina Carpenter and we may see it.
29:08
Speaker 5: Are the people out of Coachella in California may hear
29:11
Speaker 5: it this weekend because Sabrina Carpenter is doing her second show,
29:15
Speaker 5: and I guess Madonna is rumored to be showing up
29:17
Speaker 5: with her and doing the song, so well, hear what
29:21
Speaker 5: it is.
29:21
Speaker 1: She thinks they're going to play this in clubs. They
29:23
Speaker 1: wouldn't know who the hell she is in these clubs. Oh,
29:25
Speaker 1: they know who she is in club I guarantee you
29:27
Speaker 1: if Madonna went to a club, the twenty eight year
29:29
Speaker 1: old bouncer is not going to know who she is.
29:32
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know. That's that's her world.
29:36
Speaker 1: Those songs were forty years ago, literally.
29:39
Speaker 5: I know, I know, but that's her world. That's her world.
29:43
Speaker 5: And we're more excited about earth Wind than Fire coming,
29:46
Speaker 5: so that.
29:46
Speaker 1: I love them. You know, I knew them. Fire was
29:49
Speaker 1: a friend of mine.
29:50
Speaker 5: I'm kidding, what's that Fire was a friend of yours?
29:56
Speaker 1: Not Earth No, I didn't know her whend I met
29:58
Speaker 1: one that was.
30:01
Speaker 5: The guy who had your job before. No earth Wind
30:07
Speaker 5: and Fires coming to the Beacon Theater on June third,
30:11
Speaker 5: to open the Tribeca Film Festival. There's a documentary about them,
30:15
Speaker 5: and then they're going to play on stage with the Roots,
30:20
Speaker 5: and let me tell you, that is huge.
30:22
Speaker 1: That's going to be huge. The only problem is I
30:25
Speaker 1: talked to you get all excited. Worth Wind and Fires
30:29
Speaker 1: come on and then these guys come out with walkers
30:31
Speaker 1: and canes and you realize.
30:32
Speaker 5: This is wow. They're they're in very good shape. And
30:37
Speaker 5: you know, I've seen earth Wind and Fire perform a
30:40
Speaker 5: few times at like, you know, various functions. I haven't
30:43
Speaker 5: seen them in a full concert in a while, but
30:45
Speaker 5: they're they're terrific. And I had a long talk with
30:49
Speaker 5: Verdin White is the leader of the group, the guy
30:52
Speaker 5: with the tall and skinny, guy with the long hair,
30:55
Speaker 5: and he's amazing. He's an amazing guitarist and he's an
31:00
Speaker 5: amazing singer. And they've never been more revved up. In fact,
31:05
Speaker 5: they're going on tour with Lionel Richie. So then after
31:09
Speaker 5: they do the speaking show, then they do a Madison
31:11
Speaker 5: Square garden show I think in July, so they're they're
31:15
Speaker 5: going to be all over the place and they're hotter
31:17
Speaker 5: than ever. Everyone loves that song September.
31:20
Speaker 1: Oh, they had a lot of great songs. They really, Yeah, lots.
31:25
Speaker 1: Hey will got in a minute left tell me about
31:27
Speaker 1: There's a big new documentary on Laurene Michaels. What's the
31:30
Speaker 1: deal with that?
31:31
Speaker 5: Oh, it's great. It's opening on Friday. I wrote about
31:35
Speaker 5: it on Showbiz for on one the other day. They
31:37
Speaker 5: had a big, great premiere at Alice Tully Hall last week.
31:43
Speaker 5: And this is the first time that Laurene Michaels in
31:49
Speaker 5: fifty years really has talked about anything. He never gives
31:53
Speaker 5: interviews and he didn't want to do this one either,
31:56
Speaker 5: but he was convinced finally after two years of prodding,
31:59
Speaker 5: because they had interviewed everybody else from Saturday Night Live.
32:01
Speaker 5: So then finally he had to give in. And what's
32:04
Speaker 5: interesting about it is, you know, he's seventy nine and
32:07
Speaker 5: he's been doing the show for you know, fifty one years,
32:10
Speaker 5: and he's not going to retire. He's going to stay
32:13
Speaker 5: there till he can't do it anymore. And he's in
32:16
Speaker 5: good shape knock Wood, and he loves the show and
32:19
Speaker 5: you know, he created it, and he's a little concerned
32:23
Speaker 5: actually that there won't be a show once he's gone.
32:26
Speaker 5: We thought that maybe he was going to turn over
32:28
Speaker 5: the reins to someone like Seth Myers or Tina Fey,
32:32
Speaker 5: but no, no. In fact, I think when he said
32:36
