1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: It is in access to Mark by setting a pre

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: set in the iHeart Radio app for his live show

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 1: and his podcast. Now back to the Mark Simone show

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: on wor Well, let's stick some calls. Let's go to

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Dave in Chicago. Dave, how you.

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: Doing, Good morning, Mark.

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 3: I'm doing very well.

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: Thank you.

9
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: Mark.

10
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 3: I saw this report in yesterday's Chicago Sun Times. Federal

11
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 3: judge ordered construction stopped for the White House ballroom. He

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 3: claims it needs congressional approval. Lastly, I thought President Trump

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 3: was paying for this project on his own. So I

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: really don't understand the problem here.

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: Well, it's a good question the president. The whole thing

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: is finance. Won't cost the taxpayer's assent. The judge declaring,

17
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: it's a left wing judge. You look at his picture

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: with the bow tie and the crazy eyebrows and death.

19
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: He's saying the President doesn't have the authority to make

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: massive alterations to the White House. He is nearly the steward,

21
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: not the owner of the White House. It needs congressional

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: approval maybe, but it's not. It's not, you know. In

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: other words, if the separation of powers, if the Congress

24
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: decides to remodel the capital. Does the President have to approve? No,

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: it's their building, it's the executive branch building, So why

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: would Congress have anything to say about it? And listen,

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,279
Speaker 1: the ballroom obviously is a great idea. It's much needed.

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: They've always talked about needing this ballroom. And the fact is,

29
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: right now, this is probably the only time in history

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: this will ever happen. Right now, you've got a guy

31
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: in the White House who is the world expert on

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: building ballrooms. He's built spectacular ones all over the world.

33
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: So if you have a president who happens to be

34
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: the best ballroom builder on earth, maybe that's the time

35
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: to build the ballroom. They'll get it done quickly, efficiently,

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 1: for the right cost. It's not just the ballroom underneath,

37
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of room underneath it. That's where they're

38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: going to put this security bunkers, uh, you know, the

39
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: special situation room, all sorts of important stuff under there.

40
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: It'll have to be appealed President, hopefully we'll win at

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: some point. Let's go to Long Island, Edward and Smithtown, Edward.

42
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: How you doing Hi? Thanks? Hey, you been to I've

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: got a great new restaurant in Smithtown. The Chaz, have

44
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: you been there? No, not yet. Rothman's opened Jerry Sparrow

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: and those guys opened a second place Smithtown.

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: Oh that's great, Okay, I will give that a try. Okay.

47
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: So uh, I always see West Texas uh intermediate crewede

48
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 2: mentioned with oil prices and what we pay for gasoline

49
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: in the United States. But uh, that's I'm sure it's related,

50
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: But in a way it's not because West Texas is

51
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: light sweet crewed and our refineries can't refine that.

52
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: No, they can't, they can they can. We use w

53
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: T I we use Brent crue, the one we don't

54
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: like it.

55
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: But but the majority of the crew that the refineries

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: can handle is heavy crude. I think that's why Trump.

57
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: Uh No, I know we use we use a West

58
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: Texas uh intermediate, we use Brent crude. We use all

59
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: that stuff. The one we don't want is this stuff

60
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: coming from the Straits ormouse. It's dirty, oily, awful, the

61
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: worst crude in the world. That's what China uses, it's

62
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: what India uses. A lot of Europe uses that. They

63
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: use a lot of Brent crude. Uh So why should

64
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: they raise the price here when we don't. We're not

65
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: affected by the Straits Army as well. UH Steve Moore

66
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: than great economists last Hour explained it. It is a

67
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: worldwide commodity, so it doesn't matter what happens in any

68
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: one country. The price is set worldwide. Let's go to

69
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: uh Maria in Westchester, Maria. How you doing.

00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: when grandma's not around. You're a little bit of a troublemaker,

109
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: aren't you.

110
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

Speaker 1: Yeah. It's a good thing. I was too. It's a

00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: very good thing. Don't ever lose that. It's a good quality.

Speaker 1: All right. You sound like a smart kid. Thanks for calling.

115
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: Let's go to uh, let's go to Tom and Oh,

116
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.

117
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 4: He sounds like a great kid. He sounds like that

118
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: is the menace? How convenient the liberal media in regards

119
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 4: to Trump doing work at the White House the ballroom.

120
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 4: They forget that FBR put a pool in the White House,

121
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 4: and that when they called the media room the press room,

122
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 4: they say the pool. Well, there's a pool underneath that

123
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 4: floor over there. At one time it actually caved in.

124
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: Mark Mandani and Katy Hokel are always crying the blues

125
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 4: about money. Yet last week Mandani set up this communist

126
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 4: polling propaganda Bureau of He hired thirteen people for I

127
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: think a million point seven dollars to just promogate his agenda,

128
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 4: to just create propaganda for his agenda. And this other

129
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 4: one Katy Hulkell talked about, Oh I need money, congestion Brieston.

130
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 4: Yet she's putting, she's bragging last week about this whole

131
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 4: new fleet of subway cars that she's putting into service. Well,

132
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: if you so hung up for money, if you need

133
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 4: so much money so badly, why don't you just repair

134
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 4: some of the old ones. Oh but we really know

135
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 4: the reason why, because she's getting the kickbacks from those

136
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 4: companies and contribution from those companies that make this up

137
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: where the subway cars and everything. And in regards to

138
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 4: his birthright citizenship, this is a true story. In nineteen

139
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 4: oh six, my grandparents, my uncle Mike was born, my

140
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 4: father wasn't born. They were coming in from Italy and

141
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 4: they were in the United States Territorial Waters and my

142
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 4: grandmother gave birth on the boat on the way to

143
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 4: Ellis Island. And still my grandparents had to apply for

144
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 4: citizenship at a certain age, so did my uncle.

145
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: So it should be very good, Vincent, excellent call hey

146
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: when we come back. Jimmy Fayler, the great comedian, great

147
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: talk show host. He's on now every night nine o'clock
