1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Reconed into Everything New York Mark Simone on seventen. 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 2: Wor Well, Well, it's right now. The greatest columnist in America, 3 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin. You can read his column every Sunday every 4 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 2: Wednesday in the New York Post, and all his columns 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 2: are up on the New York Post website. Michael Goodwin, 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 2: how you doing. 7 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark, Thank you great to have. 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 2: You with us Iran. You've written a couple of columns 9 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: now about Iran. Tell everybody how you feel about the 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 2: president's choice here to go to war. 11 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: Look, I think it's obviously risky, but I believe it's 12 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: also necessary. Something had to be done about this regime 13 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: that was threatening America, of course threatening Israel. Threatening as 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: we can see now all of the Arab countries that 15 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: are our allies in the region are now being here 16 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: with iranium missiles and rockets. This was the world top 17 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: trouble maker in the sense of exporting the Islamic Revolution 18 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: throughout the region around the world, and they killed hundreds 19 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: and hundreds of Americans in the forty seven years there 20 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: have been in power. So look, this is obviously a 21 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: difficult decision for a president to make, to go to war, 22 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: and unfortunately there are American casualties. But I think the 23 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: question becomes is it the right decision? Fundamentally, I believe 24 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: it's not only right, I believe there's a level of 25 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: righteousness to it because of the evil that this regime 26 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: has done to the world and of course to ninety 27 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,919 Speaker 1: million Iranians who are now on the verbs of liberation. 28 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, did you ever think you see Democrats out in 29 00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: the street protesting against killing the Ayatola, a man who 30 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: kills protesters, they're actually protesting his death. Did you ever 31 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: think can see that? Well? 32 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's mark. It's a continuation of what we 33 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: have seen since Trump came down that escalator in twenty fifteen. 34 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: Anything he's for, they are reflexively against, even when it 35 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: makes no sense, even when it goes against their own history. 36 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: But they are just warped by the fear that Donald 37 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: Trump will get something done that will embarrass them and 38 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: their party, and so they have to oppose him at 39 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: every step. 40 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty funny. So if he pulls this off 41 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: and Iran becomes a much better place, and that probably 42 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: will calm everything down in the Middle East, that would 43 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: stop Hesbala all that stuff. 44 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing, you know, Mike. I think another thing 45 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 1: that's come out of this is that Israel is emerging 46 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 1: as America's not only important regional ally. I think it's 47 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: become America's most important ally anywhere. You look at the 48 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: behavior of the so called great powers of Europe sitting 49 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: there complaining about this, critiquing it, opposing it. What are 50 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: they doing that they have lagged on the Russian invasion, 51 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: They had to be coaxed into paying more money. I mean, 52 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: they've all just surrendered to the woke culture, and of 53 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: course they're all afraid of their domestic Muslim populations. If 54 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: you cannot be four square against the Uranium regime, what 55 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: could you? What are you waiting for? What will trip 56 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: you into action? I mean it's really something breathtaking. So 57 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: I think Israel is now America's most important ally. 58 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: Michael Goodwin, mom Donny's wife all sorts of controversy now 59 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: that we're twitter things about the October seventh Holocaust pictures 60 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: and she's clicking like on that, How will how does 61 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: he ever explain this? 62 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: Yeah? I think his answer basically that you know, she's 63 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: a private citizen, I think is not sufficient. I mean, 64 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: I think he has to answer for himself. Does he 65 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: feel that way, does he agree with that? I think 66 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: that's the question that has to be put to him. 67 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: And now, of course, we have the other incident from 68 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: yesterday outside Gracie Mansion, and he has yet, to my understanding, 69 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: he has yet to condemn the people involved. He has 70 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: a blanky condemnation of violence. But this is not ordinary violence. 71 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: This is terrorism inspired violence. 72 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, luckily it looks they're going to charge him federally, 73 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 2: so he'll go to the US attorney. 74 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: But right, we have to worry about Alvin Bragg. 75 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: But you're right, he hasn't Mark. 76 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: I think it does raise another question. Where's Kathy Hoko 77 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: on this? Right? Where is the other Democratic officier? Where's 78 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer on this? Where? Where are the people who 79 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: are supposed to keep New York safe? Meanwhile, the Department 80 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security is closed because of Democrats lost of 81 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: the budget. 82 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, now you've covered Chuck Schumer for a long time. 83 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: How the hell did he ever end up like this 84 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: where you think he'd be the first one supporting Israel 85 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 2: and it's taking out the eye toll? How did he 86 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: get so screwed up. 87 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Mike, there's an old say that sometimes 88 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: party asks too much, and I think Schumor has never 89 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: really said that. I think he's gone along with his 90 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: party no matter who is leading it or what it is. 91 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: He's afraid to stand up to the party. You'll stand 92 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: up to Donald Trump will call him names, he'll threaten 93 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, but it will comes to you know, 94 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: AOC or people like that. He quivers so. 95 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: Miss you would admire a guy like that, like a 96 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman, a guy who's not afraid to say just 97 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: common sense, whatever the right thing is to do. That's 98 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: the position he'll take. And he's you think he's got 99 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: to do a good shot against Kathy Hockel. 100 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: And I think Mark that people crave, you know, sort 101 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: of people who are politicians, who are honest and who 102 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: are not beholden to an idea onology. Most people are 103 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: common sense. They want their politicians to be. That's why, 104 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: to me, the surprise of the last ten years is 105 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: John Fetterman, Right, He's the one Democrat in the Senate 106 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: who says sensible things, even to me if means agreeing 107 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,559 Speaker 1: with President Trump. But no other Democrat will go where 108 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: Fetterman goes. 109 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like the Bill Clinton of right now. This 110 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: is a similar to win Clinton emerged among all the 111 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 2: left wing wackos and led the party back to the center. 112 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: You think that, yes, exactly, No, I think that's a 113 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: good point. 114 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Michael Goodwin. Great having you with us. And 115 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: you can read Michael Goodwin's column every Monday, I mean 116 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: every Sunday, every Sunday and every Wednesday in the New 117 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: York Post.
