0:46
Speaker 1: be the next governor. We'll get to crazy Mom, Donnie,
0:49
Speaker 1: and a whole lot more. Let me just clear this up.
0:52
Speaker 1: If you've been watching the news NBCCBSABC, if you're reading
0:56
Speaker 1: the New York Times, if you're using that crazy fake
1:00
Speaker 1: news left wing media which is just about everything now,
1:04
Speaker 1: you would have seen the headline major shakeup in the
1:07
Speaker 1: Trump administration, A major shakeup. Well, the major shakeup is
1:13
Speaker 1: what the hell's her name? Uh, resignation of Lori Chavez.
1:18
Speaker 1: I don't know how you say it, diremer Derimer. I
1:22
Speaker 1: don't even know her name. This is the major shakeup.
1:25
Speaker 1: She's actually the labor secretary, which is the one of
1:28
Speaker 1: the least important cabinet jobs. But she has resigned. And
1:34
Speaker 1: if this what's today Tuesday. If on Sunday you said
1:37
Speaker 1: to all of these newspeople, who's Lori's Chavez d Remor,
1:41
Speaker 1: they would go huh, who huh? Nobody ever heard of her.
1:44
Speaker 1: Now it's a major shakeup, major shakeup. She uh was
1:51
Speaker 1: the labor secretary. She got in a lot of trouble.
1:54
Speaker 1: There was a whistleblower that filed all these complaints, and
1:56
Speaker 1: it turned out it was true that she was drinking
1:58
Speaker 1: an office during working hours. According to all of this,
2:01
Speaker 1: according to the investigation, created a hostile work environment. She
2:05
Speaker 1: was pursuing an extra marital affair with the security guard.
2:13
Speaker 1: Well he's labor, I guess. The complaint also said she
2:16
Speaker 1: committed travel fraud by a lot of the aids, chief
2:19
Speaker 1: of staff and deputies would make up these official trips
2:23
Speaker 1: that weren't actually official. There were the destinations where there
2:26
Speaker 1: were family vacations or just plaining vacations on the taxpayer's dime.
2:32
Speaker 1: But if you're watching the news, major shakeup. Nobody ever
2:36
Speaker 1: heard of this woman. The day before, not one of
2:38
Speaker 1: you newspeople ever said, let's try to get an interview
2:42
Speaker 1: with Lori Chavez de rim Or. Nobody ever heard of her.
2:44
Speaker 1: Now you say, well, yeah, but Trump, why would Trump?
2:47
Speaker 2: Uh?
2:47
Speaker 1: Well, I looked into that. Where the hell did she
2:49
Speaker 1: come from? It was actually the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
2:53
Speaker 1: Teamster's president Shaw O'Brien had recommended her to Trump, in fact,
2:58
Speaker 1: had encouraged Trump to nominate. And it's again, it's not
3:02
Speaker 1: the biggest cabinet post. You can really put just about
3:04
Speaker 1: anybody in there. Do you know any labor secretaries that
3:08
Speaker 1: have stood out? Who's that little guy Robert Reisch? Wasn't
3:12
Speaker 1: he a labor secretary? Again, it's a job where you
3:14
Speaker 1: just stick somebody. So forget the major shakeup. Now, Iran
3:19
Speaker 1: talks will continue today. Iran has confirmed they will send
3:25
Speaker 1: a delegation. There will be peace talks today. Steve Whitkoff,
3:30
Speaker 1: Jared Kushner, I think Vice President Vance and our team
3:33
Speaker 1: are there over there now in Islamabad, Pakistan. You ever
3:37
Speaker 1: see the life Jared Kushner lives in Miami, lives in
3:40
Speaker 1: this spectacular mansion Miami, fun and son and glamour and fun.
3:46
Speaker 1: He's running a massive real estate empire. He's a billionaire.
3:50
Speaker 1: He's having the time of his Life's got a beautiful one.
3:52
Speaker 1: Who the hell would want to give all this up
3:55
Speaker 1: and sit on a plane for twenty hours to get
3:57
Speaker 1: to Islamabad, Pakistan to sit in the Islama biod Pakistan
4:02
Speaker 1: hotel ballroom for twelve hours talking to a bunch of
4:05
Speaker 1: crazy Iranian negotiating. Who would want to do this? But
4:09
Speaker 1: that's what he enjoys. Some people like pickleball. He likes
4:12
Speaker 1: this talking to crazy Iranians at a bargaining table. So
4:16
Speaker 1: the talks will continue today. Iran making all their usual threats,
4:20
Speaker 1: they have now said they are prepared to reveal new
4:25
Speaker 1: cards on the battlefield. They have some secret new thing. Well,
4:29
Speaker 1: so far we took out all their major stuff, all
4:33
Speaker 1: their real weapons, and now they're down to what they
4:35
Speaker 1: call these mosquito boats. They're little, tiny speed boats with dynamite.
4:39
Speaker 1: If a ship is trying to come through the strait,
4:42
Speaker 1: they'll zoom out from a cave and try to hit
4:45
Speaker 1: the ship with a bomb. But they're not that effective.
4:49
Speaker 1: Outside of that, I don't know what they have now
4:50
Speaker 1: we do know. It turns out, you know, we took
4:52
Speaker 1: out all their rockets and missile launchers and that sort
4:55
Speaker 1: of stuff. It turns out that they did bury up
5:00
Speaker 1: underground long before all this started. They buried a lot
5:03
Speaker 1: of missile launchers and rockets to have in reserve in
5:08
Speaker 1: case we blew up everything. They could dig those out.
5:11
Speaker 1: So they're in the process of digging out those rockets
5:14
Speaker 1: and missile launchers. Now we watched carefully, as does Israel,
5:18
Speaker 1: with satellite photos of all this stuff. So I guess
5:20
Speaker 1: if we see them digging out something, we'll blow up
5:22
Speaker 1: the spot before they even get it out. We are
5:27
Speaker 1: blockading the straight of hor Moves, and we did take
5:31
Speaker 1: out one of There was a tanker that tried to
5:34
Speaker 1: come through the blockade, and if you watch the way
5:37
Speaker 1: the US handled it, it was pretty amazing. It was
5:41
Speaker 1: the Tusca, an Iranian flagged tanker ship, a vessel that
5:46
Speaker 1: tried to cross the blockade and it went right through it.
5:50
Speaker 1: We then went after the ship. We hit it with
5:54
Speaker 1: a missile. The first missile went right through the engine room,
5:57
Speaker 1: completely disabled the ship completely disabled. Were one shot. Our
6:02
Speaker 1: helicopters flew right to the ship. US Marines repelled down
6:06
Speaker 1: under the ship took total control of it immediately. This
6:09
Speaker 1: all happened in a second, President Trump putting out a
6:13
Speaker 1: statement saying that right now US Marines have custody of
6:16
Speaker 1: this vessel. It violated the sanctions US Treasury sanctions, and
6:22
Speaker 1: because of their prior history of your legal activity, we
6:25
Speaker 1: have taken full custody of the ship and everything on it.
6:28
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's going to try crossing that
6:30
Speaker 1: blockade again. So that'll happen today. The other thing that
6:34
Speaker 1: will happen today is Kevin Walsh is the nominee for
6:37
Speaker 1: the new FED chairman, and he's going to have hearings
6:40
Speaker 1: today and you're going to see all hell break loose
6:44
Speaker 1: in these hearings. Now, you got to remember Republicans, they're
6:48
Speaker 1: not very good at hearings. They don't know what to do.
6:50
Speaker 1: But these Democrats are brilliant in hearings. They know how
6:53
Speaker 1: to create viral video. They huff and puff and yell
6:56
Speaker 1: and scream and they carry on. Makes for quite a show.
7:00
Speaker 1: You'll be seeing this all over the place. The star
7:02
Speaker 1: will be Elizabeth Warren. She will yell and scream at
7:06
Speaker 1: Kevin Warres she's a very good guy. He's a quiet guy.
7:09
Speaker 1: He's perfectly qualified as to be the FED chairman. There
7:13
Speaker 1: were a bunch of choices. There was Kevin Hassett, and
7:16
Speaker 1: there was Scott Bessett, but they're needed in the White House,
7:19
Speaker 1: more valuable in the White House. So it came down
7:21
Speaker 1: to Kevin Warresh. Who's a great choice. He'll be fine.
7:24
Speaker 1: They're gonna yell and scream, Elizabeth Warren, you're gonna see
7:27
Speaker 1: it tonight all over the place. She'll call them all
7:29
Speaker 1: kinds of names. She's gonna yell and scream about. He's
7:32
Speaker 1: in the Epstein files. Does nothing bad nothing. Everybody's in
7:36
Speaker 1: the Epstein files. Elizabeth Warren is mentioned four hundred times
7:39
Speaker 1: in the Epstein files. Doesn't mean he had anything to
7:42
Speaker 1: do with Epstein. I'm mentioned six times in the Epstein files.
7:45
Speaker 1: I have nothing to do with the guy. It happens
7:47
Speaker 1: all the time, so that'll happen. He's a wealthy guy.
7:53
Speaker 1: He's worth about one hundred million, married to a wealthy woman,
7:56
Speaker 1: wealthy family. So she'll yell and scream about that. They'll
8:00
Speaker 1: argue about FED independence. That must be totally independent. It
8:04
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be that independent. There is a Republican
8:10
Speaker 1: Tom Tillis who has vowed to block the nomination. Here's
8:13
Speaker 1: the problem with all of that. There could be a
8:15
Speaker 1: deadlock twelve to twelve. His problem is he wants the
8:25
Speaker 1: federal government to drop the probe against Jerome Powell. The
8:28
Speaker 1: president in the fighting with Jerome Powell. His administration has
8:32
Speaker 1: started to investigate Powell. He's probably not a crook. It's
8:35
Speaker 1: probably not something you need to investigate. But even if
8:39
Speaker 1: he's not a crook, well maybe he should investigate. What
8:41
Speaker 1: happened was they built a new fed building. Trump is
8:44
Speaker 1: an absolute world class expert on this stuff. Looked over
8:48
Speaker 1: the building, went through it and said, this is about
8:50
Speaker 1: maybe eight nine hundred million worth of stuff here. They
8:53
Speaker 1: spent something like three billions, so where'd the other two
8:56
Speaker 1: billion go? That's worth an investigation. You don't have to
8:59
Speaker 1: pers investigate Powell, but maybe broaden the investigation out a little.
9:04
Speaker 1: So we'll keep an eye on that today. You know,
9:09
Speaker 1: this is hard to believe. Tim Cook took over from
9:12
Speaker 1: Steve Jobs. Tim Cook has been the chairman of Apple
9:15
Speaker 1: for I thought a few years. It turns out it's
9:19
Speaker 1: a lot of years. Tim Cook is now sixty five.
9:21
Speaker 1: He's reached retirement age. It's hard to believe. Boy, time
9:24
Speaker 1: really goes by. Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO
9:29
Speaker 1: September one. He's sixty five already and stepping down. Wow,
9:37
Speaker 1: So he'll transition to the role of executive chairman. They've
9:40
Speaker 1: picked the new CEO. It's John Turnus. He's fifty, been
9:45
Speaker 1: at Apple for like twenty five years, and he's a
9:48
Speaker 1: real hardware guy. He's very good at the hardware, and
9:50
Speaker 1: that's really Apple's main business is hardware creating devices. He
9:55
Speaker 1: was very, very big and crucial on the development of
9:58
Speaker 1: the iPhone and all of so, and give Tim Cook credit.
10:03
Speaker 1: When Tim Cook took over as chairman, the company was
10:05
Speaker 1: worth three hundred and fifty billion. Today it's worth four trillion.
10:10
Speaker 1: So that's a pretty good run. That's not bad at all. Hey,
10:15
Speaker 1: you know you got the Swallwell, you got these congressmen,
10:20
Speaker 1: the sexual harassment, rape charge, all this kind of stuff,
10:25
Speaker 1: all these kind of shenanigans. There's a Republican two that's
10:29
Speaker 1: got some problems. So there's a Senate Ethics Committee, which
10:34
Speaker 1: is basically a fake thing. You know, they always remember
10:36
Speaker 1: now Franklin got into trouble he was very proud to say,
10:39
Speaker 1: I've turned it right over to the Senate Ethics Committee.
10:41
Speaker 1: I want them to investigate. Well, the Senate Ethics Committee,
10:44
Speaker 1: when they investigate, they'll investigate, but they do nothing about it.
10:47
Speaker 1: That's why Franken and others love to have it go
10:50
Speaker 1: to the Senate Ethics Committee because even if they find
10:53
Speaker 1: all this stuff, all they do is send you a letter.
10:56
Speaker 1: You just get a letter. It's like a warning. That's
10:59
Speaker 1: all it is. But there's been a push to have
11:02
Speaker 1: them release who they've been investigating through the years, who
11:06
Speaker 1: had a real sexual harassment, rape, all kinds of misconduct,
11:10
Speaker 1: who had Well they released it it was twenty eight names.
11:13
Speaker 1: There's twenty eight senators they've had to investigate. I mean
11:16
Speaker 1: in a lot of bad stuff. Democrats win with fourteen,
11:21
Speaker 1: Republicans had twelve. I know, you say, wait a minute,
11:25
Speaker 1: that doesn't add up to twenty eight. Well, some of
11:26
Speaker 1: them had multiple investigations. Remember I'll see Hastings, Democrat from Florida.
11:33
Speaker 1: He got investigated a few times a few different incidents
11:36
Speaker 1: through the years. So pretty bad stuff. Now the Mets
11:43
Speaker 1: play later today. I think it's tonight seven o'clock. The
11:46
Speaker 1: Mets are oh and eleven. They've just all lost eleven
11:50
Speaker 1: games in a row, and some people believe it's the curse.
11:56
Speaker 1: This mister met It was cute a missus met too,
12:01
Speaker 1: I think. And they walk around. They were up here
12:04
Speaker 1: in our hallways and they see you. They wave and
12:07
Speaker 1: they shake your hand. That's about it. When it was
12:09
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie, they're hugging him and kissing him. It was
12:13
Speaker 1: so this went very very viral. Friend Sid Rosenberg started
12:17
Speaker 1: it and went super viral, and then he put a
12:20
Speaker 1: curse on It's like the Sid curse, and others put
12:24
Speaker 1: the curse on him, and it seems to have worked.
12:27
Speaker 1: Since that day, the Mets have lost eleven in a row.
12:30
Speaker 1: That's a long streak. That's one of the longest. I
12:33
Speaker 1: think that's the longest streak in twenty years. And tonight
12:36
Speaker 1: they play again. Will it be twelve games in a row?
12:40
Speaker 1: I don't bet it. Will I bet they lose twelve
12:41
Speaker 1: in a row. You know, they're now the last place, Mets.
12:43
Speaker 1: They're in the last place. And I don't know what
12:46
Speaker 1: you do about this. I mean, this would be a
12:50
Speaker 1: hell of a coincidence. The hugging and kissing Mom Donnie.
12:52
Speaker 1: Next thing. You know, you lose eleven in a row,
12:54
Speaker 1: could be twelve in a row. What do you do
12:56
Speaker 1: about it? I don't know. Maybe have have Curtis come down.
13:03
Speaker 1: He was the Republican candidate. Have Curtis come down and
13:06
Speaker 1: hug him. Uh, And then you could I guess you'd
13:10
Speaker 1: have to have Cuomo to the indivent. Nobody wants to
13:12
Speaker 1: hug Cuomo and who knows, you know, he gets a
13:14
Speaker 1: little touchy feely there, missus met You better stay back
13:18
Speaker 1: a little, but we'll see tonight. Keep an eye on
13:21
Speaker 1: that game. Hey, Bruce Blakeman has a great new ad out.
13:26
Speaker 1: It's kind of visual, you got to really see it.
13:28
Speaker 1: But he's going after Kathy Hokeel and you know, she's
13:32
Speaker 1: just awful, just terrible. And I'm there'll be a lot
13:36
Speaker 1: of ads. There's so many things you can get her for.
13:38
Speaker 1: But one of the first was when it comes to taxes.
13:43
Speaker 1: I don't think Mom, Donnie or hokel understands anything about
13:47
Speaker 1: how we tax people or how we collect taxes. You know,
13:50
Speaker 1: they love to yell and screen tax the billionaires pay
13:53
Speaker 1: their fair share. I mean, maybe they're just lying, but
13:57
Speaker 1: I don't think they know. I don't think they've ever
13:59
Speaker 1: looked at the numbers. These wealthy billionaires pay most of
14:02
Speaker 1: the tax. They pay way beyond their fair share. You know,
14:06
Speaker 1: the top one percent pays like forty percent of our taxes.
14:11
Speaker 1: That's kind of ridiculous. I mean, they basically pay it all.
14:14
Speaker 1: Without them, you got nothing. They overpay like crazy, and
14:18
Speaker 1: that's good, and maybe they should they can afford to.
14:20
Speaker 1: But right now they're overpaying like crazy, and that makes
14:23
Speaker 1: up for the people who don't pay any tax. But
14:25
Speaker 1: so Hochel a couple of years ago, was yelling and
14:29
Speaker 1: screaming for all you billionaires, or you'd Mago, or you
14:32
Speaker 1: Trump billionaires, get the hell out of New York. Moved
14:34
Speaker 1: to Florida, go away, don't ever come back. Well a
14:38
Speaker 1: lot of them did, and we lost a huge amount
14:40
Speaker 1: of tax revenue. So now she's saying, you know, please
14:42
Speaker 1: come back. She actually even said, tell your friends to
14:45
Speaker 1: go to Florida and tell them to come back, get
14:47
Speaker 1: them back here. So Blakeman has put this together. You
14:49
Speaker 1: have to watch it. It's up on my Twitter. You
14:51
Speaker 1: can see it there. It's really visual. You got to
14:53
Speaker 1: see the cliffs, and it's got music and you got
14:55
Speaker 1: to see the visuals on it. But it's a great commercial,
14:59
Speaker 1: and let me see if I can play it. Hang
15:02
Speaker 1: on a second, it's here somewhere. I'll find it. It's
15:04
Speaker 1: in my phone. I think this is it, right, Hang on,
15:13
Speaker 1: you got lent me? No shoot, I stay, you shoot,
15:18
Speaker 1: I go. You gotta watch the video, great beautiful pictures
15:24
Speaker 1: and stuff going with it till the end, moving vans.
15:29
Speaker 3: So you've got to lent me.
15:31
Speaker 1: No shoot, I stay.
15:35
Speaker 2: You shoot, I go. They sold this.
15:41
Speaker 3: First step. Should we go down to Palm Beach, you'll
15:43
Speaker 3: see who can bring back home because our tax space
15:46
Speaker 3: has been writing.
15:47
Speaker 1: It's fine. Yeah, you gotta watch it. It's up on
15:49
Speaker 1: my Twitter if you want to see it. But pretty
15:51
Speaker 1: interesting that she's telling people to leave, just leave, get
15:54
Speaker 1: the hell out of here. She says, move to Florida.
15:56
Speaker 1: Now it's a year later. They've moved to Florida two
15:58
Speaker 1: years later, and she's bagging them to come back. I
16:01
Speaker 1: don't think I don't think mom Donnie has ever looked
16:03
Speaker 1: at the tax numbers. It sounds good to tax the billionaires,
16:08
Speaker 1: to go after Trump, tax the billionaires. I don't think
16:10
Speaker 1: he's ever said that any experts bring in the numbers.
16:13
Speaker 1: Let me see where we get most of our tax
16:15
Speaker 1: revenue for. You know, if you ran a restaurant, you
16:18
Speaker 1: do all these metrics. So who's our biggest customers? Where
16:20
Speaker 1: are we getting the most revenue from? And you cater
16:22
Speaker 1: to that crowd, and that's what you're supposed to do
16:24
Speaker 1: in government. That's what any business would do. You cater
16:27
Speaker 1: to them and make sure they stay anyway. Hey, well
16:30
Speaker 1: we'll take some calls in a moment. Eight hundred three
16:33
Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
16:36
Speaker 1: three two one zero seven ten. Get instant access to
16:41
Speaker 1: Mark by setting a pre set in the iHeartRadio app
16:44
Speaker 1: for his live show and his podcast. Now back to
16:48
Speaker 1: the Mark Simone Show on woof Hey, are your allergies
16:54
Speaker 1: really bad? Like last week? All it's brutal, but a
16:57
Speaker 1: little better now. It turns out we've had no rain,
17:00
Speaker 1: very very very little rain for a couple of weeks,
17:02
Speaker 1: and that's what whatever that stuff is, the pollen, the dandard, whatever,
17:05
Speaker 1: it's all over the place. So it did rain on Sunday.
17:09
Speaker 1: When it rains, it kind of calms all that stuff down,
17:11
Speaker 1: So that helped a little. Now we're having a couple
17:14
Speaker 1: of dry days. It's going to rain Wednesday or Thursday.
17:17
Speaker 1: But that'll be good. It'll gets rid of all that
17:20
Speaker 1: all that pollen. Let's take some calls. It's go to
17:23
Speaker 1: Duke Sarasota, Florida. Duke, how you doing. I'm living now.
17:29
Speaker 1: That's a great name, if I if I had to
17:30
Speaker 1: pick a name, that's a pretty cool name.
17:32
Speaker 2: Duke.
17:34
Speaker 1: Is that really your name?
17:35
Speaker 2: You could borrow it, I mean you could use it,
17:37
Speaker 2: do it while you're still, you know, breaking into show business.
17:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, Duke, I like that tough, cool name.
17:45
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, there was a congressman about thirteen years ago.
17:49
Speaker 2: His intern was jogging one morning in Washington, d C.
17:53
Speaker 2: And uh yeah it.
17:56
Speaker 1: Content. I forgot his name, Condent? Was it Gary Condent?
18:00
Speaker 3: Yeah?
18:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was from California. And yeah, I wonder if
18:03
Speaker 2: they were located the perpetrator of that.
18:07
Speaker 1: No, I think it was. It was like right the
18:12
Speaker 1: week before nine to eleven.
18:13
Speaker 2: Right exactly right, you know, yeah.
18:17
Speaker 1: Well, because it was the biggest story in America. This
18:20
Speaker 1: congressman was sleeping with his intern and she vanished and
18:24
Speaker 1: what did they you know, they found her in the park,
18:27
Speaker 1: right yeah, yeah, so the biggest scandal ever I think
18:32
Speaker 1: the guy was innocent. I think he had nothing to
18:34
Speaker 1: do with killing her. But it was the biggest scandal.
18:36
Speaker 1: It was front page News twenty four sevens all everybody's talking.
18:39
Speaker 1: He was It was terrible to say, but he was
18:42
Speaker 1: very He was so happy about nine to eleven. Because
18:44
Speaker 1: the second had happened, he was never mentioned again. It
18:47
Speaker 1: took him right out of the news. I do recall
18:49
Speaker 1: that if it hadn't been for that, they still would
18:51
Speaker 1: have been going after Remember the great writer Dominic Dunn,
18:56
Speaker 1: who was, you know, the big crime guy with the OJ.
18:59
Speaker 1: He went after Gary Content and he's the one that
19:03
Speaker 1: really pushed that theory. And then Condent sued Dominic done
19:07
Speaker 1: and I think there was a massive settlement there. Uh
19:10
Speaker 1: because Dominic Dunn was on my show all the way around. Yeah, yeah,
19:15
Speaker 1: Dominic Dunn was always on my show. And then he
19:17
Speaker 1: started in on Gary Condan. I always had to stop
19:19
Speaker 1: him and bleep him and tell him, don't you're gonna
19:21
Speaker 1: get sued again. Stop it. I got to look it up.
19:23
Speaker 2: See if you say, you do a great show, thank
19:26
Speaker 2: you for everything, and uh, I listen every day.
19:30
Speaker 1: Oh you got a radio now, wow, look at you.
19:32
Speaker 4: No, I.
19:36
Speaker 2: Bring it from New York. I couldn't fit it in
19:39
Speaker 2: my my uh my little car to move everything I needed.
19:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, most people listen, not most, but probably half our
19:46
Speaker 1: audience listens on the phone. Now just download the iHeart app,
19:49
Speaker 1: Gary Duke, great call, thanks for calling. Uh yeah, I listened,
19:53
Speaker 1: to be honest, I listened on the phone all the
19:54
Speaker 1: time of the radio infect the other day. All sudden
19:57
Speaker 1: the internet went after there was no signal. I'm listening
19:59
Speaker 1: to the show. How I'm I was going crack. I
20:00
Speaker 1: couldn't feel what to do. I said, forgot, I could
20:03
Speaker 1: just turn the radio on. I got twelve radios. I
20:06
Speaker 1: got just turn one of them on. Let's go to
20:08
Speaker 1: Patrick in New York City. Patrick, how you doing.
20:12
Speaker 4: In Mark? A big story this morning you probably know of.
20:15
Speaker 4: Alan Dershowitz announced that he's becoming a Republican. He's leaving
20:19
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party And to quote him, I heard him
20:21
Speaker 4: interviewed this morning. He said, I'm leaving the party because
20:24
Speaker 4: it is crazy, as Trump said, and we just cannot
20:27
Speaker 4: allow the Democrat parton to take control of Congress. Also,
20:31
Speaker 4: he's become a Yankee fan, leaving the Red Sox. Yeah,
20:36
Speaker 4: big news.
20:36
Speaker 1: He's not a huge baseball fan. But he's a great
20:38
Speaker 1: guy and he should leave. The Democrats were so awful
20:42
Speaker 1: to him. You know, he wasn't a Trump supporter, he
20:45
Speaker 1: wasn't a Trump voter. He voted for Obama, he voted
20:48
Speaker 1: for Biden, he voted for he voted for Hillary. And
20:51
Speaker 1: then when Trump got impeached the first time, was totally dishonest, corrupt,
20:55
Speaker 1: unfair impeachment. And he offered to defend him. That's what
20:58
Speaker 1: a good lawyer does. And so the whole Democratic world
21:00
Speaker 1: came down on him. They wouldn't talk to him, they
21:02
Speaker 1: ostracized him. I don't blame him. Well, thanks for exactly exactly,
21:06
Speaker 1: all right, thanks, Hey, I'm just looking it up here,
21:09
Speaker 1: Gary kandit. Yeah he's still alive. He's seventy seventy eight
21:17
Speaker 1: years old. And yeah, he was from California. He was
21:21
Speaker 1: a congressman that oh I forgot her name. Yeah, it
21:23
Speaker 1: was Levy, Chandra Levy with the young woman, the intern,
21:29
Speaker 1: having that affair. So yeah, her death remains unsolved. So
21:36
Speaker 1: he's having an affair with this young intern. She ends
21:40
Speaker 1: up dead in the park near his house. Who knows
21:42
Speaker 1: what happened in Rock Creek Park. She ends up dead,
21:46
Speaker 1: and they believe now it was an undocumented immigrant illegal
21:52
Speaker 1: from Al Salvador who had already been convicted of two
21:55
Speaker 1: other attacks in that park, So it was probably him.
21:59
Speaker 1: But for a while, boy was this guy. This guy
22:02
Speaker 1: could not turn on anything, television, radio, newspaper, anything without
22:06
Speaker 1: seeing his name. That's all anybody talked about. You know,
22:10
Speaker 1: when you're in that situation, when it's just twenty four
22:13
Speaker 1: to seven, that all they're doing is talking about you
22:15
Speaker 1: being a murderer. You just can't make it stop. You
22:18
Speaker 1: go crazy. It's unbelievable when you're in that kind of
22:21
Speaker 1: situation and you think, what could ever stop this from?
22:26
Speaker 1: How do I get this off the air? What can
22:27
Speaker 1: you do? You talk to crisis consultancy, Well, there's no
22:30
Speaker 1: way to get it off the air, and then it's unbelievable.
22:34
Speaker 1: Nine to eleven occurred that next Tuesday morning, and then
22:39
Speaker 1: he was never mentioned again. He never forgot any mentioned
22:42
Speaker 1: again ever on the airwaves. It was all forgotten about.
22:45
Speaker 1: But he's still alive, and that doesn't really say what
22:47
Speaker 1: he does now. He gets involved in local politics. His
22:51
Speaker 1: son and daughter wanted to get into politics. Hey I
22:55
Speaker 1: don't know why, but hey, anyway, so we'll talk to
22:58
Speaker 1: the brilliant columnist Liz Pek next. Kevin warsh is hopefully
23:03
Speaker 1: going to be the new FED chairman. I'm sure he
23:04
Speaker 1: will be, but they're going to put him through hell
23:06
Speaker 1: today and these hearings. We'll talk about that and more.
23:10
Speaker 1: Just ahead on seven to ten, Woor.
23:13
Speaker 3: Talking about everything you care about, Marks the Moons on WR.
23:20
Speaker 1: Well, Liz Peak, the brilliant columnist. You can read her
23:23
Speaker 1: at the Fox News and lots of other great places.
23:27
Speaker 1: But the best thing is go to our website. In fact,
23:30

Speaker 1: you sign up there. Liz Peak. How you doing well.
23:46
Speaker 3: I'm terrific and I'm happy to join you. Like everyone else,
23:50
Speaker 3: I'm on Iran Watch, so you know, minute by minute
23:54
Speaker 3: mark we're kind of trying to figure out what's going on.
23:57
Speaker 3: And you know, investors are very optimistic that this all
24:02
Speaker 3: this war is going to come to a close. Oil
24:04
Speaker 3: prices are going to come down. I hope that's right.
24:07
Speaker 1: Well, when we started that blockade, the Strait of Hermus.
24:11
Speaker 1: It was brilliant because it basically affects Europe and China
24:15
Speaker 1: and everywhere else. We got plenty of oil. In fact,
24:18
Speaker 1: we might make money off it because now people have
24:20
Speaker 1: to start buying from us. We're the biggest oil supplier then.
24:23
Speaker 1: And in the end, don't you think this will all
24:26
Speaker 1: work out? In fact, they'll also they'll start building these pipelines,
24:28
Speaker 1: so we won't depend on that straight anymore. A year
24:31
Speaker 1: from now, we're going to be very happy with the
24:33
Speaker 1: way it turned out, aren't we.
24:35
Speaker 3: I think so.
24:36
Speaker 4: I mean, I think yes.
24:37
Speaker 3: I'm optimistic that we'll have a decent peace agreement with Iran.
24:44
Speaker 3: I'm really tired of going on social media and saying
24:47
Speaker 3: and seeing people talking about how great the deal was
24:51
Speaker 3: that Obama struck with Iran, because I actually remember that deal,
24:55
Speaker 3: and the reason he never submitted it to Congress for
24:58
Speaker 3: approval is that everyone understood that it was incredibly as
25:02
Speaker 3: Netanyahu said, it was not something an agreement that would
25:07
Speaker 3: prohibit the development of a nuclear weapon. It was a
25:10
Speaker 3: pathway to a nuclear weapon for Iran. And it was true,
25:14
Speaker 3: you know, the idea that Iran was going to comply
25:19
Speaker 3: with the requirements of an open inspection and so forth
25:23
Speaker 3: of their nuclear sites, where repeatedly leading up to that
25:28
Speaker 3: negotiation they had refused entry to international inspections of their
25:34
Speaker 3: commercial size, not to mention, they had hidden all their
25:38
Speaker 3: military nuclear sites from the public. You know, at the
25:42
Speaker 3: time and the signing of the agreement, nobody even knew
25:45
Speaker 3: what they were doing in terms of military preparedness for
25:48
Speaker 3: a nuclear bomb. And you know, recently the reporting by
25:52
Speaker 3: CBS and others have confirmed they went right ahead creating
25:59
Speaker 3: enriching uranium. There was never any intention to stop doing that.
26:03
Speaker 3: So it was just there was basically built in a
26:08
Speaker 3: sort of tenure moratorium, and then Iran was basically permitted
26:11
Speaker 3: to get a nuclear weapon.
26:12
Speaker 2: By the way, this.
26:13
Speaker 3: Idea that our allies had signed onto it, well, they
26:17
Speaker 3: did because Germany and France and others had big commercial
26:20
Speaker 3: interests in Iran, and they had no interest at all
26:23
Speaker 3: in putting their economies on the line or even dinging
26:27
Speaker 3: their economies by withdrawing from what was then a pretty
26:30
Speaker 3: active buyer of their industrial goods. So, I don't know,
26:34
Speaker 3: revisionism in this case is pretty sickening, honestly, if we
26:38
Speaker 3: can end up not only removing the enrichment capabilities from
26:44
Speaker 3: Iran and the enriched uranium, and also determining that they
26:50
Speaker 3: cannot have such a huge inventory thousands of missiles that
26:54
Speaker 3: are capable of hitting Europe. And if we somehow can
26:58
Speaker 3: guarantee that the Strait of Removed will never again be
27:01
Speaker 3: closed by speedboats with machine guns, that will be an
27:04
Speaker 3: unbelievable victory. Mark, and I don't think it's impossible.
27:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's also another thing, you know, we were always
27:10
Speaker 1: terrified of. We're so afraid of Iran, you know, well,
27:13
Speaker 1: you can never tangle with them. Even during the Iraq Wars,
27:16
Speaker 1: the thought of getting Iran involved, that was a frightening
27:19
Speaker 1: trying to tangle this. Yeah, well, now that we've gone
27:21
Speaker 1: after them all out war, we see they've got nothing.
27:24
Speaker 1: They're just totally ineffective against us. And I think kind
27:29
Speaker 1: of we learned the same thing about this Russian army
27:31
Speaker 1: watching Ukraine hold them off for five years. So the
27:35
Speaker 1: psychological effect isn't that great to really change things for us?
27:39
Speaker 3: Well, And I would say the flip side of that
27:42
Speaker 3: is that the United States military, over several activities in
27:47
Speaker 3: the last couple of years, has proved themselves probably way
27:50
Speaker 3: beyond expectation. I mean, if the Chinese were not alarmed
27:55
Speaker 3: by the ability of the US military to go into
27:59
Speaker 3: Venezuela and snatch Maduro from a very heavily armed fortress
28:05
Speaker 3: basically without any problem whatsoever, if they were not concerned
28:11
Speaker 3: about the combined forces of the US and Israel taking
28:16
Speaker 3: out the nuclear sites in Iran a year ago, they
28:20
Speaker 3: sure heck have to be pretty terrified to see the
28:25
Speaker 3: utter obliteration of Iran's military capabilities in the Latin what
28:32
Speaker 3: forty days. I mean, it's an unbelievable achievement. And I
28:36
Speaker 3: would think President she who, by the way, finally piped
28:39
Speaker 3: up yesterday and said enough, let's open the Strait of Hormuz,
28:42
Speaker 3: thank you? Yes, where's he been? I think he's got
28:45
Speaker 3: to be reassessing whatever he thought about American willingness to
28:49
Speaker 3: go into Taiwan. Now he knows if we do decide
28:53
Speaker 3: to counter some aggressive aggression on his part, boyle boy,
28:59
Speaker 3: can we do it?
29:00
Speaker 1: Liz Peak today is officially beat up Kevin warsh Day
29:04
Speaker 1: in Washington. Yeah, sure, he's I think a good choice
29:08
Speaker 1: for the FED chairman. I think you'd agree. And what
29:11
Speaker 1: should he do to get through these hearings today.
29:14
Speaker 3: Just keep his mouth shut and just don't rise to
29:16
Speaker 3: the bait with Elizabeth Warren hectoring him about being Trump's puppet,
29:21
Speaker 3: et cetera, as she did in the last couple of days,
29:24
Speaker 3: just to let it roll off his back. He knows
29:26
Speaker 3: who he is. He knows and they know. The Democrats
29:30
Speaker 3: on the committee know that he has a long fine
29:32
Speaker 3: reputation as an inflation hawk. What does he want to do.
29:36
Speaker 3: He wants to bring in the rain in the balance
29:40
Speaker 3: sheet of the FED. That's obviously hawkish, not dubbish. We'll
29:44
Speaker 3: see what happens here. I think President Trump did a
29:48
Speaker 3: foolish thing and going after J. Powell legally, and now
29:52
Speaker 3: Tom Tillis is refusing to vote for Kevin Worsh until
29:56
Speaker 3: that issue is resolved. Trump should resolve it and back way.
30:00
Speaker 3: That's just a foolish undertaking. But I think Kevin Worsh
30:03
Speaker 3: will be a good a good change agent at the FED.
30:08
Speaker 3: He's not such interest in interest rates. Obviously, he wants
30:11
Speaker 3: to reform the FED. He wants to reform how we
30:14
Speaker 3: go about their business, what kind of approach they take
30:16
Speaker 3: to monetary policy. You know, he has sort of revived
30:21
Speaker 3: the idea of setting rules in place for sort of
30:24
Speaker 3: automatic adjustments in our interest rate policy based on not
30:29
Speaker 3: the winds of the chair or the members of the board,
30:32
Speaker 3: but actual, you know, data, sort of rule associated with
30:39
Speaker 3: the growth of the economy. In other words, put in
30:41
Speaker 3: place measures that will get away from the sort of
30:45
Speaker 3: stop start behavior and often wrong footed behavior of fed's
30:50
Speaker 3: chairs and bodies over the last thirty years. I remember
30:54
Speaker 3: going to an Economic Club meeting years and years ago
30:57
Speaker 3: and Henry Paulson stood up and said, the Fed's been
30:59
Speaker 3: wrong for thirty five five years. And I kind of
31:01
Speaker 3: thought at the time, God, can that really be true?
31:03
Speaker 3: And then I went back and looked for a lot.
31:04
Speaker 2: Of the history.
31:05
Speaker 4: Guess what it's true.
31:07
Speaker 3: So if something needs to change, and I think Kevin
31:10
Speaker 3: Worris could be a very very bright light in terms
31:13
Speaker 3: of exposing the inadequacy of the FED, the wrong the
31:18
Speaker 3: fact that they're chasing rainbows and DEI and climate issues
31:22
Speaker 3: as opposed to really kind of paying attention to what
31:24
Speaker 3: they need to watch.
31:26
Speaker 1: Hey, as far as that investigation, what I would do,
31:29
Speaker 1: take your own pals name out of it, Just take
31:31
Speaker 1: his name off. That the new FED building should have
31:34
Speaker 1: been about eight hundred nine hundred million. They spent like
31:36
Speaker 1: two three billion just run an investigation into the project.
31:39
Speaker 1: It's because it would be a good start to go
31:41
Speaker 1: and after government waste, what happened to the extra two billion.
31:45
Speaker 3: I agree with you. I think that's a really good idea,
31:48
Speaker 3: and because it is kind of a classic example of
31:53
Speaker 3: a government project just getting out of control. And my
31:56
Speaker 3: guess is no oversight. I mean, you know, Mark, when
31:59
Speaker 3: I drove to Kennedy Airport last week, there's a construction
32:03
Speaker 3: project along that road. It's been underway for at least
32:06
Speaker 3: twelve years. I talked to my driver about it. Twelve years,
32:09
Speaker 3: and I'm sure it has cost a fortune. Who's watching it,
32:12
Speaker 3: who's taking care of the taxpayer interest? Here? Not to
32:15
Speaker 3: mention the tens of thousands of poor schlumps who drive.
32:19
Speaker 4: That road every day on their way to work.
32:21
Speaker 2: It's a horror show.
32:23
Speaker 3: And the same thing with the FED building. You know,
32:25
Speaker 3: Americans are far too patient. We put up with far
32:28
Speaker 3: too much and do not demand accountability. If there's one
32:32
Speaker 3: thing that Trump could bring in the next three years
32:35
Speaker 3: of his administration and leave is a sense of accountability,
32:39
Speaker 3: I gotta say I love what they're doing about going
32:42
Speaker 3: after waste and fraud. It should have been done years ago.
32:45
Speaker 3: But you know, let's turn a spotlight on places where
32:49
Speaker 3: people are really stealing government money or just wasting it,
32:52
Speaker 3: because that's my money, and it's your money, it's everybody's money,
32:56
Speaker 3: and it should be it should be a matter of
32:58
Speaker 3: greater focus.
33:00
Speaker 1: You know, Andrew Cuomo loves to brag about that new
33:02
Speaker 1: LaGuardia terminal. It costs twenty billion. Everybody says it's a
33:06
Speaker 1: one billion dollar terminal. We'd spend an extra nineteen billion
33:09
Speaker 1: on it. But you're right, investigate all this stuff.
33:13
Speaker 3: If you remember, Mark, when President Trump started running for
33:17
Speaker 3: office back in fifteen or whatever, he talked about I
33:20
Speaker 3: think it was the embassy in Israel or the embassy
33:23
Speaker 3: in London. I forget which one where they were going
33:26
Speaker 3: to spend you know, hundreds of millions of dollars. And
33:31
Speaker 3: he said, you know, I went in and there was
33:32
Speaker 3: a building and we kind of figured out what we
33:34
Speaker 3: could do, and it was, I don't know, it was
33:35
Speaker 3: like a fraction of what his predecessor had wanted to spend.
33:40
Speaker 3: That's the kind of common sense language that Americans are very,
33:45
Speaker 3: very happy to hear. Because we do not hear it
33:48
Speaker 3: nearly enough.
33:49
