  Speaker 1: The Mark Simon Show on seven or well, Hey, we
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: got a lot to get to this hour. Prince Andrew,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: as you know, was arrested like seven hours ago eight
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: hours apparently, is still in custody as we speak. He
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: remains in custody and police are searching his residences. I
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: guess they're going through his computers. Oh my god, could
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you mention what's on this guy's computer? This is not
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: going to go well for him. They're looking through documents.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: There are also a lot of people who are saying
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that this guy's going to be in real trouble Prince Andrew,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and if they seize his computers and look at his
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Google searches and what porn sites he was on and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: this is it's going to be very bad for him.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: So he's going to find himself in major trouble, facing prison.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Most people say that know him say, this is a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: guy who will squeez talk, do anything to get out
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: of trouble, make a deal. He will turn people in
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: left and right. Who knows what he knows and what
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: he can trade. But this is going to get very
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: very interesting, cops, are you know, Although he's got a
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: couple of residences, a convoy of vehicles pulled into his
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: various houses, convoys of vehicles, and they're searching everything. The
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: search is continuing as we speak. This is again, this
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: is going to be really ugly before it's over. We
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: have assembled off the Iranian coast, off the near Iran.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: We have the biggest strike force we've assembled in I
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: think ever, maybe huge, huge, huge strike force. We've just
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: sent the USS Gerald Ford there. That is the largest
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: warship on Earth. It's the most advanced aircraft carrier we
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: have nuclear powered. It's designed to carry more than seven
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: five aircraft F thirty five c's lightning two stealth fighters,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: super hornets, growler radar jamming jets. I mean, this is
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: serious stuff. This is in addition to everything else. We've
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: got four destroyers there. We've got destroyers patrolling the straits
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: of Hormoose. We've got the Lincoln warship is there. So
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: this is really really serious stuff. This is way way,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: way beyond what we did in Venezuela. And Iran is
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: doing what Iran usually does, being ridiculous, threatening everything on Earth,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: threatening the president, threatening all kinds of stuff. But again
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Maduro tried that it's not a good strategy. But if
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: they were smart, they would make a deal of some kind.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: We are negotiating with them in Europe. I think in Paris,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: if they had any brains, they would make a deal.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: But they think they're just too stupid to do it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Here's the White House Press Secretary.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: President has always been very clear though, with respect to
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Iran or any country around the world, diplomacy is always
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: his first option. And Iran would be very wise to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: make a deal with President Trump and with this administration.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Uh. The keywords they're very wise. That's not Iran very crazy,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: but not very wise. Here's Vice President Vance.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: We do have a very powerful military. The President's shown
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: a willingness to use it. He also has a remarkable
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: diplomatic team. He shown a willingness to use that too.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Our primary interest here is we don't i Ran to
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: get a nuclear weapon. We don't want nuclear proliferation. If
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: it Ran gets a nuclear weapon, there are a lot
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: of other regimes, some friendly, some not so friendly, who
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: would get nuclear weapons after them. That would be a
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: disaster for the American people. The President has all options
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: on the table.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: The brilliant response from Iran.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: We have stated these many times, my own statements are
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: not important. What matters from an ideological standpoint is the
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: policy and the fatois of the Supreme Leader. We are
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: in no way seeking nuclear weapons. Whatever form of verification
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: they want to carry out, we are ready for that
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: verification to take place.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Well, that's great if you like lying gibberish. AOC is
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: more clear than that. What a word solid of nonsense.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So and again we've seen with the bombing of the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Iran nuclear facilities, which was an incredible military operation, from
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the seizing of Maduro where we unveiled all kinds of
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: secret weapons nobody knew we had that just paralyzes the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: enemy literally. We've seen all this. Obvious we always had
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the most powerful military, but it's obvious that everything under
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Trump in the last year has been cranked up to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: absolute state of the art and beyond military weapons, tactics,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: techniques and say what you want about Pete Hegseith, but
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: he is run now in his first year some of
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the most amazing, unbelievable military operations ever. So if I
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: were Iran, I would take note of that. I would
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: take note of that. Obviously, our intelligence is very good
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: over there. When we took out the nuclear Actress, if
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and people are saying this could happen soon as soon
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: as a Saturday, a couple of days from now. But
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: if this happens, obviously we will very very quickly, in
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: just seconds, take out every military asset of Iran. If
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: we wanted to go in and just seize the leader
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and take them out, physically take them out. We saw
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: how we can do that with Maduro. So keep an
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: eye on that could happen this weekend. State of the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Union is Tuesday. Maybe they want to have it done
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: by tuesday, who knows, but keep an eye on it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie, Hey, they're looking in Mexico. There is a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: couple of these ransom notes. They don't know if they're real,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: they're not real, but a couple of them have indicated
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that she's in Mexico. Where she lives is very close.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: It's like sixteen miles from the border. So as the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: kidnappers escaped, obviously be smart and quick to get over
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the border into Mexico. We have apparently started working with
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Mexican authorities for them to start helping. You know, there's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: a task. Everybody hates this local sheriff there, what's his name,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Nano nanos whatever, isn't it. They just think he's a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Barney Fife, grand standing, small town bumbling a show off.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: But we've got the FBI there. Apparently with the FBI
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and the FEDS, the Trump is sent. They have a
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: team of four hundred people on the ground, four hundred
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: working on this. Here's Harvey Levin.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: The search for Nancy got three has gone international. We
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: have learned the FBI has told federal Mexican law enforcement
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: to tell various police agencies to be on the lookout
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: for Nancy and her kidnapper. Now, our law enforcement sources
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: are telling us that it is possible. They believe that
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Nancy was taken across the border, but they doubt if
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: she is across the border, that it happened directly after
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: the kidnapping.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll see. Hey, Stephen Colbert, this is hard to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: believe he lied to us. Could you believe that called
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Beert lying? Well, this all started when he was trying
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to push a certain candidate who's running for the Senate
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: in Texas, Tarrico, what's his name, Tall Rico, And they
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: had him on to do a big interview with him
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to help promote him, try to help him win that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Senate seat that primary. Well, the FCC stepped in. Now,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: there has always been this equal time law. If you
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: have a candidate on during an election, you're supposed to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: offer time to the opposing candidate. And this equal time
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: law has been there for a million years. However, over
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the last twenty thirty years it stopped being a factor.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: They just stopped enforcing it. They never bothered anybody with it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Nobody ever said anything but the Trump administration because the
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: media is so biased now and such fake news, they've
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: decided to start enforcing that again. So they've let people
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: know they've been apparently investigating the view because they've been
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: having also to a one sided nonsense. When they want
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to push a Democrat, they're having a Democrat on and
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: never allowing any Republican equal time. And that's what Colbert
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: was doing here, not allowing the opponent equal time. Well,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Colbert's been lying to us all week claiming that a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: CBS stepped in and said he can't have this guy on.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: They refused to air the interview, and CBS and everybody
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: involved pointing out they never said that to him. They
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: simply said, you can't air this unless you offer the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: other side equal time, which is fair. We would all
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: do that. Remember during the mayor race, we had Curtis
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: on all the time. Every couple of weeks we had
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Curtis on. Now, if I ever got a call from
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo or the Mom Donnie campaign said we want
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: equal time, you'd say yes. Of course, you would say yes. Well,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: why would I say no? Now? They never called because
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: they know it's probably not going to be a you know,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: a friendly interview. I mean, we wouldn't be unfriendly, but
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: we'd ask him tough questions and debate them on. So
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: they generally don't ask. But of course would give equal time.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: But Colbert, being a totally corrupt sleees ball partisan, wouldn't
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: allow the other side equal time. Jasmine Crockett says they tried,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: but they couldn't get anywhere. So even the FCC Commissioner
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: on television yesterday pointing out they never ever would say,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: you can't have this guy on. You have to offer
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: for equal time. It's the right thing to do, it's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the fair thing to do. In fact, whenever if I
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: went on and said terrible things about somebody and they
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: called and said, hey, I want an equal time, of course,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you'd give it to him, you know, a major figure,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: a candidate, a politician, of course you would. But Colbert
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: being the dirty weasel that he is, so he lied
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: about all of this and there's not going to be
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: any real consequence. He's already fired. There's nothing he can do.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I guess that's one reason he behaves so badly. He's
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: already fired. His last day is in May. He's already fired.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: What can they do to him. They could pull him
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: off the air early, but it's you know, it's a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: big show. As far as the production. It's like one
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty people work on this show. So if
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you're the network, when you cancel Stephen Colbert or any
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: network show, you have to leave it on for a
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: few months. For a lot of reasons. You got to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: figure out what to do with these hundred and twenty
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: CBS employees. You try to place them somewhere else. You've
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: got this massive theater that you got to figure out
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: what you're going to do with that. Also, you do
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: have affiliates. There's a couple hundred TV stations that are affiliates,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and if it's a network show, you can't just drop
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: it that night because now what do the affiliates do?
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: So you got to figure out something to give them
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: or give them time to come up with an alternative plan. Hey,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: there's a big trial going on with Mark Zuckerberg testifying
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the company Facebook. It's actually called Meta, but the company
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: is being accused, like the other social media companies, TikTok
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and all of that stuff, Instagram, of using these algorithms
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to suck you in and make you binge. These algorithms
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: get you addicted, addicted to TikTok, so you and the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: suit came from somebody, twenty year old woman who said
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it ruined her life. She got so addicted she was
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: on Instagram or Facebook sixteen hours a day. Listen. I'm
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: kind of on Zuckerberg's side on this. Hey, by the way,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the other companies, Google, YouTube, Snap, TikTok all settled the case.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: They didn't want to go through this. They cut last
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: minute deals. But I don't blame a meta. Zuckerberg is
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: fighting this. Yeah, I'm sure they do arrange the algorithm
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to try to keep you on, but everybody does it. Hey,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: we do that here, every radio show, every radio station
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: does that. Every radio What do you call that forward motion?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: When you go to the commercial. Every newscast on TV,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: every TV show they do that. They just don't say,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: here's the commercial and then we'll be back. They say, hey,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: coming up next, exclusive interview with so and so. That's
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: to get you to stay through the commercial. And there's
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: all kinds of things you do during a show to
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: keep people listening. It's called the teas. You tease them
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: with something coming up so they don't go away. It's
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: done everywhere. It's done. It's done in restaurants, it's done
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: in supermarkets. You know, when you go to the restaurant,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you open the menu, you think, well, they just listed
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: what they have. Now, there's all kinds of tricks on
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that menu. They lay it out in a certain way
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to trick you into you know, they always put at
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the top of the list something really expensive. Let's say
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: it's the entrees. So there's some caviaar something this one
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: hundred and ten dollars. You go, oh my god. Now
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: right under it they got the chicken a dish and
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that's thirty two dollars. Now when you see that, you go, well,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that's better. I'll get that. When if it was if
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: they didn't put that ridiculous expensive thing at the top
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: you would have normally you would have said thirty two
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: dollars or chicken. That's a lot of money. So there's
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: all kinds of tricks. You know, when you walk into
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a supermarket, they've laid it out. It's a trap. Everything
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: is an algorithm designed to get you to spend more money.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: You know, when you walk into any supermarket, the part
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: you walk into is very brightly lit, and you notice
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: wherever you walk in, the first thing that's around you
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: are flowers and happy stuff. That's to get you in
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a good mood. Also, you smell the flowers. It gets
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: you smelling. Then everybody most people turn right because they're
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: right handed, so you'll always come in and turn right.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: What do you get when you turn in right? The
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: bakery is there, so you smell the bakery. It gets
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you hungry, it gets you in the mood, and then
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: it's all laid out to trap you. You know. They
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: put the expensive items eye level on the shelves. There
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: are cheaper versions, but they're down below. Eye level is
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the expensive stuff. And they always put the essentials, the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: things you're probably there for, way in the back, all
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the way in the back like eggs, milk all the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: way in the back, so that way you got to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: go through every aisle to get to this stuff. It's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: all a trap. Everybody does that restaurant, you know, restaurants
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: do that. They've got it all figured out. They know
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: exactly the temperature that'll make you hungry. It's seventy two degrees.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: The music is always sixty beats per minute, right to
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: your heartbeat, makes you comfortable, makes your order. It's all
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a trap. I speaking to restaurants. I was in Connecticut
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: last weekend. Loon weekends. I go to Connecticut. I Saturday,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I can't find my credit card. Did I lose it?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Did I drop it? And then I'm thinking where did
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I use it? Well, the night before Friday night, I
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: was at Jay House. That's a great restaurant Connecticut, Greenwich,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: probably the hottest restaurant Connecticut. Jay House. I said, I
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: ate there, maybe I left it there. I go over there.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I walk in. There's Tony the owner, and I said, hey,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I think I left my credit card here last night.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I felt really stupid, but he said, hey, let me check.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Go says something to somebody behind the counter. They hand
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: him a stack of like thirty five credit cards and
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: he's going through. I said, that's how many people leave
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: their credit card He says, yeah, every day, it's normal.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: So I didn't feel so stupid. There was my credit
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: card in there. So then every restaurant I went to,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I said, you have a stack of credit cards people
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: left every restaurant. They pulled it. Yeah, here's one hundred
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and twelve these. Everybody leaves credit cards every night. Now,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: a year ago, I lost these sunglasses, really nice sunglasses.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I couldn't. I don't know where. I think maybe I
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: was eating in a little scal last night. Maybe I
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: left them there. I went right over there. I said,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: did you find a pair of sunglasses? And the manager
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: says well, and I start describing. He said, well, no, wait, wait,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you can look for them yourself. I said, what do
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: you mean. He pulls out a box of two hundred
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: sunglasses that were left there. So it's not just me unbelievable.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I'm looking through them now. And then after that, every
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: time I went to a restaurant, of a box of
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: sunglasses that people left every restaurant, they reach behind the counter,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: pull up a box of two hundred, three hundred sunglasses
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: that are left there. So I know. Sunglasses you pay
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a fortune for them. You don't have to pay it
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: for them. Just go into a restaurant and say I
• 16:13
