1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: It hits in access to Mark by setting a pre

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: set in the iHeartRadio app for his live show and

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: his podcast.

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: Now back to the Mark Simone show on wor Hey,

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: let's take some calls. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: how you doing, good morning, Mark.

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 3: I'm doing very well, Thank you very much.

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 4: Mark.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 3: A day or two ago, I was watching Fox News

10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 3: Channel and one of the commentators gave the impression that

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 3: Iran is about a week or two away from actually

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 3: becoming a nuclear power. And my question, is there any

13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 3: timeline to that fact?

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, good question, Dave. That was actually negotiator Steve

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 2: Whitkoff meeting with the Iranians warning the world.

16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: They've been enriching well beyond the number that you need

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: for civil nuclear it's it's up to sixty percent. They're

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: probably a week away from having industrial, industrial grade bomb

19
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: making material and that's well scary stuff.

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: Now again, that's material that the nuclear plants and all

21
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: that are gone. But that's scary stuff, and I think

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: the President will address that tonight in tonight's speech. Let's

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 2: go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing, good.

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 5: Morning, Mark, Yes, Mike wishing all, my fellow New Yorker

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 5: is good luck with this stupid snow.

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good luck with your eight hurricanes you're gonna

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: have this year.

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: I'm not being sarcastic.

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 5: I'm gonna believe me. I'm not told about that either,

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 5: or the power outages.

31
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: Every time you know about snow, it just melts and

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: goes away. It doesn't knock your house exactly like those.

33
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 6: That's for sure.

34
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 5: You said it. Yeah, but you know it was funny

35
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 5: because you know Trump is getting excoriated now for joking

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 5: with the men's hockey team. You know, these are the

37
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 5: same people who pride themselves on having these great senses

38
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 5: of humor and being open minded and so forth, and

39
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 5: they can't take a joke. None of them can take

40
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 5: They all have glass jaws when it comes to.

41
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: Nobody has less of a sense of humor than Democrats.

42
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: It's like Kimmel, Colbert, no sense of humor whatsoever. Let's

43
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: go to Let's go to Lorraine in Long Island. Lorraine,

44
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: how you doing.

45
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 6: I'm fine, Thank you, good morning, Mark, thank you for

46
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 6: taking my call.

47
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: Hey, where are you in Long Island?

48
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 6: I'm in Marich's Day.

49
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: Oh you got a lot of snow there south shore right.

50
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 6: Oh, yes, quite a bit, quite a bit much out now, thanks,

51
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 6: thanks for that. Just a quick question. There doesn't seem

52
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 6: to be much reporting on the DHS shut shutdown regarding

53
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 6: t s A at the airports. And I'm planning a

54
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 6: trip to Florida in March, and what do you think

55
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 6: is going to happen with that? Will it be over

56
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 6: by then or what's going on there?

57
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: That should be okay? But you may not have the

58
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: what do you call it the pre check you know? Yes,

59
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: do you have that where you don't wait in the line, Yes,

60
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: I do. You might get effect that they might have

61
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: to shut that down, but god, well it's this could

62
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: change at any moment. You got you got a week

63
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: or two, so hopefully it gets settled. A good question. Uh,

64
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: you know they're not funded the Department of Homeland Security.

65
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: This is their new thing. Instead of defund the police,

66
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: defund Department Homeland Security. But that includes a secret service

67
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: in there. FEMA is in that department and the TSA,

68
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: so they're working right now. There's enough money to keep

69
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: paying them, but it could run out and they might

70
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: have to cancel that TSA pre check stuff. But also

71
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: believe or not. If you're in Congress, you get a

72
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: special escort that walks you past the line. So they

73
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: have announced they have to cancel that special escort program

74
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: due to a manpower shortage there. But that's just to

75
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: make the make the congressmen and women feel the pain

76
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: of this. Let's go to John in Norwalk, Connecticut. Hey, John, Hi,

77
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 2: how are you good.

78
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 5: I'm just curious Mark under report.

79
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 6: That the.

80
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 5: Kid who shot the the insurances that get over the back.

81
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 4: I'm told that they the judge's taking the death penalty

82
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 4: off the table.

83
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: How's it possible, Well, it looks like they may have

84
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: They may lose the charge. It has a death penalty,

85
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: it's possible he could.

86
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 5: And also that the gun was not admitted as eviden.

87
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: Well, this hasn't been settled yet, but I remember the

88
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: good news that they're arguing that when he was arrested

89
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: in the something was illegal in the arrest. But the

90
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: good news is he shot him right outside our window,

91
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: right over there on the corner. And yeah, it's right

92
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: outside the window. The good news is every into Manhattan

93
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: has surveillance video cameras, so you can watch him shoot

94
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: the guy. You can see the video. There's no way,

95
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 2: no way, he doesn't get convicted. Let's go to Dan

96
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: and Queen's Dan. How you doing.

97
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 4: Hi? You know, for years the Democrats have been putting

98
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: out propaganda about global warming and the Earth is warming.

99
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: So now they're not prepared when we have this huge

100
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: blizzards and they're all struck by something like this that

101
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 4: could happen.

102
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: Well, you got to remember everything they told you it

103
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: turned out to be false. If you go get the

104
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: Al Gore movie An Inconvenient Truth from twenty years ago,

105
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: watch it.

106
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: Now.

107
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: Every single thing he predicted was not only false, the

108
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: exact opposite happened. You know. He said, well there are

109
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: only seven thousand polar bears, there won't be any in

110
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: ten years. Well, there's more polar bears than ever this

111
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: twenty thousand. Remember we said the glacier will recede and

112
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: be gone. The glaciers bigger than ever. Everything he said,

113
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: just the opposite happened. There will one more call, Bill

114
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: from Lafayette, Bill, How you doing okay?

115
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 6: Mark?

116
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 3: The police officers being hit by snowball Jerke today it

117
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 3: really bothered me.

118
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: Oh, it's horrible. We're gonna get to that in the

119
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: next hour, a bunch of kids throwing I don't know

120
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: if there were kids, but a police officer's been hit

121
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: with snowballs. It's really ugly video. We'll get to that

122
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: in the next hour. The police are going to respond

123
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 2: to that. But when we come back, John Carney, who's

124
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: this guy is the smartest, brightest business reporter in the world.

125
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: He can explain the tariffs better than anybody, and it's

126
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: obviously going to be a big topic. The tariffs are

127
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: Supreme Court ruling tonight on the State of the Union speech,

128
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: But we'll talk to him about that, the economy, and
