1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Get hits in access to Mark by setting a pre

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,840
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 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: Now back to the Mark Simone Show on w r.

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Rich Myrtle Beach. Rich,

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: how you.

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 3: Doing pretty good? Thanks?

8
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 4: Mark? And watching Trump on TV since you have no TV.

9
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 4: He's got Bobby and doctor Ols there. He's doing a

10
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 4: Royal health Care Facilities Act and he's putting fifty billion

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 4: dollars in to take care of the royal hospitals being

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 4: overrun the stuff. But he is hammering Obama and the

13
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 4: Unaffordable Care Act where he's letting them have it. You know,

14
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 4: I was saw Keem Jeffries and some of these people

15
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 4: on TV. These people don't have an IQ high enough

16
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 4: to come in out of the ring. These people literally

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 4: stupid and they're talking to us and outright ring like

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 4: we're stupider than nail.

19
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, lets some of them have an IQ. Hakeem Jeffries definitely,

20
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: I definitely not.

21
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 3: I mean IQ.

22
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: I would guess it looks like a moron.

23
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, just looking at you said, this guy's a dot.

24
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: IQ eighty five. Maybe maybe I'm being genris there.

25
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 4: Put you above what is eighty five?

26
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 2: What's that level?

27
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't know.

28
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: You'd be uh.

29
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 4: Functionable?

30
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: Functional? Functional? You can always tell looking at his face.

31
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: Nothing moves, he's no expression. You know you normally you

32
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: try to have your expression match what you're saying. He

33
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: can't even handle that. He just looks like a robot talking.

34
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to doctor Bob, a great surgeon in Long Island.

35
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: Doctor Bob.

36
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: Thanks Mark, Yes, Mark. You know, I think Pam Bonni

37
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: is terrific, but I think she's a bit overwhelmed. Someone

38
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: like Joe Degenival might be someone to butchers her up.

39
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: Or you know Jojjennefer, brilliant, brilliant, he's a brilliant former prosecutor.

40
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: He's a much older guy and he's been out of

41
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: the game for a long time. I think, Uh, Pam BONDI,

42
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: you need somebody who's been doing it. It's like you, you're

43
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: a surgeon. You don't want an old retired guy from

44
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: twenty years ago doing the surgeon.

45
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: I don't no season, the seasoning, he knows the situation.

46
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: No, no, no, he'd be a great counselor. But you

47
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: can't have them. Actually, I mean I'm asking you a

48
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: serious question. As a great surgeon, would you let a

49
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: guy who was great twenty years ago but hasn't worked

50
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: in ten years? Would you let him come in and

51
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: do surgery?

52
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's a different situation, though, I think

53
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: that's not ideal. But the season, the things that's going

54
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: on between the years is what counts.

55
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, but that Pam BONDI doing a much

56
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: better job than a lot of our Attorney General's Bill

57
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: Barr and well, not as.

58
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: Much as accomplished. It's a little slow going. Let's hope we.

59
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: Write time different time. He hasn't even been there a year.

60
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 2: You're right, You're right, Okay, I'll give a time.

61
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: Hey, you work at a major hospital, right, absolutely?

62
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: Yes.

63
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: So the nurses go on strike here in New York City,

64
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: and I said, well, how are they running these hospitals

65
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: where they said they brought in twenty four hundred traveling nurses?

66
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: Traveling nurses you can bring in when you how do

67
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: you get twenty four hundred of them? Just like that?

68
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: Pretty amazing?

69
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I don't know the actual what they've actually

70
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: done here, but I'll tell you the problem is the

71
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: unions when they have you who's involved with healthcare, it

72
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: really gets involved. I've been in hospitals with and without

73
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: the unions, and there's a world of difference. You have

74
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: a real team effort in a place that does not

75
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: have the union and nurses, nurse assistance and all the rest.

76
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: A very good point, doctor Bob, thanks for calling. Let's

77
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: go to Mara in Nevada. Mara, how you doing so good?

78
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 5: I'm talking to you Mark. This Sunday is going to

79
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 5: be a significant birthday for our Vincent. I'll let him

80
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 5: fill you in on the numbers.

81
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: Well, that's up to Vincent. You know, I don't know.

82
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't look that old.

83
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 5: But I didn't say did I. Did I give you

84
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 5: a year?

85
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 4: Yes?

86
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 5: Significantly caught up to my kids. They're all around the

87
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 5: same thing. Okay, how he's the youngest of all of them. Yeah,

88
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 5: so Mark, isn't it unbelievable that if George you are well,

89
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 5: had to write a book today? How would he write

90
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 5: about these illegal crooks coming into this country that they

91
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 5: wanted in their own countries, and the governors and the

92
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 5: may is protecting them in the United States of America.

93
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 5: Who could write that book and make it believable?

94
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: Well, plenty of people could, but any great writer. But

95
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: it's a good point. Mark, thanks for Colin. You ever

96
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: hear that stupid expression people when they're talking about something, go,

97
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: you can't make this up. I can't make this stuff up.

98
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: That's the worst expression in the world. Offends every great writer, screenwriter.

99
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: There are people that can make up any In fact,

100
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: every time I've been with a writer, somebody's wow, boy,

101
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: you can't make this up. Yes I can. That's what

102
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: they do for a living. It's like saying a rod seiling, boy,

103
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: you can't make that up. He just did. Oh, let's

104
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.

105
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: Good morning Mark, Good morning Mary? And what marriage speaking about?

106
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 3: You can't make this up. I will turn seventy five

107
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 3: this Sunday.

108
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: Wow, well you look pretty good for your age.

109
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: Well, thank you very much, Bob Mark. As far as

110
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: you know this whole healthcare mess, I don't think anybody

111
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: a family of four where the net income is like

112
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars or more should be

113
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: getting the government subsidy. As Robert F. Kennedy says, many

114
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 3: legislators people who are making six hundred thousand dollars are

115
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: getting healthcare subsidies. That is not that's not cool. Pay

116
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: for your own healthcare. Mark, well better than that.

117
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: It's called the Affordable Care Act. If it's so affordable,

118
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: you need a subsidy. Make it affordable, then you.

119
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: Don't have to give it a Well, do like what

120
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: Donald Trump and his team are trying to do, you know,

121
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 3: get all the bums off first of all, and fix

122
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: it up, you know, make it the Affordable Care Act

123
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: rather the Obamacare Unaffordable CARECT.

124
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: Well.

125
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: Actually, most smart business people look at this Obamacare and

126
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: said it's absolutely ridiculous. It all favors the insurance company.

127
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: They can raise the prices to whatever charge whatever. They're

128
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: huge profits, and they say, just get the healthcare and

129
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: the patient together, get all these middlemen out of it,

130
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: and you'll bring the price down exactly.

131
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: Mark. Kathy Hulko yesterday announced that she's going to introduce

132
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 3: legislation bill in the New York State Legislator that ednie

133
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 3: as she says, migrant who was wrongfully picked up by

134
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: an Ice agent and perhaps even you know Durdan there

135
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: try and escape got hurt, would be allowed to personally

136
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: sue the Ice agent.

137
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: What I say, way, you Guys, Remember she's running for reelection.

138
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: She's got to face Bruce Blakeman in the debate. He's

139
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: a great debater, he's a great speaker. He's gonna wipe

140
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: her out in the debate. A lot of these bills

141
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: are fake. She's just proposing him so in the debate

142
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: when he hits her with something, she can say, well,

143
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm the one that proposed the bill. You can't sue

144
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: an ice agent. They've got federal immunity, government immunity. It's

145
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: impossible to sue them.

146
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 3: Oh, unfortunately they took away to qualified community.

147
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: That's New York, that's New York City police, federal agents.

148
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: Federal agents still have total immunity. You can't see them.

149
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: Thank thank god for that. But why doesn't she introduced

150
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 3: legislation that a citizen could sue one of the New

151
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: York state legislators if they were harmed again, criminals.

152
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you anything. Any legislation she proposes is

153
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: only to cover herself for when she's in the debate

154
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: with Bruce Blakeman, So she can respond by saying, I'm

155
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: the one that proposed the bill to just to cover

156
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,720
