1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: The Mark Simon Show onor Well, it's Friday, it's the

2
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: final week. This is the last seven days of winter,

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: and then it's spring. Got that daylight saving time light

4
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: out till seven, seven to fifteen some nights. Well, we

5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: got a lot to get to this hour, so we'll

6
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: get to Iran in a moment. To just update you

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: on the crazy mayor. This Mom Donnie is absolutely nuts.

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: I mean, we knew he was like a left wing socialist,

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: antisemitic all but on top of that, he's just nuts

10
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: the things he does. I mean, it's just in the

11
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: first few weeks. He's only been here two months. Just

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: look at some of the things he said. Remember the

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: terrible shooting of the nut job. Crazy maniac is out there,

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: shoots the cop. Mom Donnie rushes to the hospital to

15
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: visit the shooter, not the cop. We've never seen that

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: before ever in history. Goes to the hospital, visits the

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: purp and make sure he's okay. Have you ever heard

18
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: of anything like that. You're the mayor, this is your cop.

19
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: You're a policeman who was shot. He's supposed to visit him.

20
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to go visit the purp. The shooter

21
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: in the hospital, absolutely insane. Then he invites the worst

22
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: guy in the world, that terrorist supporter Khalil Mam, Mama

23
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: whatever his name is, Khalil, who's at Colombia leading this

24
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: anti Semitic, anti Israel charge. There's this awful October seventh

25
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: Holocaust that takes place in Israel. Khalil supports it, he

26
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: believes in it. Horrible, horrible guy. Thank god the United

27
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: States decided to deport this guy. You can't get a

28
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: green card visa. You can't be given a green card

29
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: to come to the US of visa to come here

30
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: and then try to just destroy everything and everybody. And

31
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: if it's about freedom of speech, you got to say

32
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: on your application, this is what you stand for, that

33
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: when you get here, you're going to lead protests against Israel,

34
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: against this, against it. But he didn't say any He

35
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: lied on his application, so they were going to deport him.

36
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: They had him detained, he was in custody. You get

37
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: a left wing wacko judge who lets him out, which

38
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: is not that's bad enough. Then you get the mayor

39
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: invites him to Gracie Mansion to have dinner there. It's

40
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: absolutely insane. Mom, Donnie's still getting flak for that. Yesterday.

41
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: Tried to explain it.

42
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: When he was detained by ice agents, flown to Louisiana

43
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: and held in an ice facility, and he was held

44
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: there for months and the only charge that was levied

45
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: against him was the exercising of his First Amendment rights.

46
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: Well, actually no, it was leading all kinds of terrible disruptions.

47
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: And you know, if you hate us that much, don't

48
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: come here. Don't come here. If you love Hamas that much,

49
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: go over there, go join them. But this, Mam Donnie's

50
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: just one crazy thing after another. Now the latest, you know,

51
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: there was some flack over the homeless. He remember how

52
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: bad things got in the month of February. Remember that

53
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: cold spell were like temperature the real field temperature was

54
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: like minus ten degrees. It was unbelievably cold. And Mamdani

55
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: orders the cops and all the agencies, don't bother the homeless.

56
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: If they want to stay out in the street, let

57
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: them stay out. And the result was seventeen died out

58
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: in the streets. So you got to do something. You know,

59
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: we have these shelters, and the problem is you got

60
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: politicians running and politicians, whether it's the Blasi or types

61
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: like that. They're just totally incompetent. I mean, they're nice guys,

62
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: they can make a nice speech, but they're not managers.

63
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: They don't know how to run anything. You know, they'll

64
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: tell you, well, the shelter's not safe, shelter is infested

65
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: with rat. Well if that's the case, go fix it.

66
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: That happens all the time. You know. When guys like

67
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: Trump are the great builders of New York. Sometimes they

68
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: buy an old building and they you know, that's how

69
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: the meatpacking district started. When the great Irwin Cohen, he

70
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: bought the old Chelsea Market, it was all run down.

71
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: He ended up creating the meatpacking District, the most spectacular

72
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: thing in the world. But he used to tell me

73
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 1: when he bought it it was disgusting. It was filled

74
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: with rats and roaches and drug dealers and hookers and junkies,

75
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: and it was a crack then. So if he had

76
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: the Diplasio approach, he'd say, oh, well, we can't go

77
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: in there, nothing we can do. No, they went in

78
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: there and cleaned it out. You come in with a

79
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: lot of cops and a thousand exterminators and you clean

80
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: it out and you fix it up. So you could

81
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: do that with these shelters. If they're that bad, fix them.

82
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: It's that if that were Rudy Giuliani, he'd be back

83
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: at the shelter the next day with forty cops and

84
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: fifty exterminators and they'd cleaned the place up, and then

85
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: you'd run the shelters. They're not safe. Put some cops

86
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: in there, make them sick. But politicians can't figure that out.

87
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: So what do you do with the homeless? Well, Mom,

88
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Donnie just signed a contract yesterday for two billion dollars.

89
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: This is coming out of our paychecks, a contract for

90
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: two billion dollars to put the homeless in hotels. You

91
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: remember they did this with the illegals that came here.

92
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: Remember they Watson Hotel right up there in fifty seventh

93
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: Street with the swimming pool on the roof and the

94
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars a night rooms. That's where they put

95
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: these illegal aliens. We paid for it out of our paychecks.

96
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: So now they're going to put the homeless in hotels.

97
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: They're even closing the men's shelter. It's two hundred and

98
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: fifty beds there can hold two hundred and fifty residents

99
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: on thirtieth Street. They're closing it. You could house people

100
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: there for a lot less money, but they're they're going

101
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: to spend two billion on hotel rooms. It's absolutely ridiculous.

102
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: If you ever tried to get a hotel room in Manhattan,

103
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: it's very expensive. It's a lot of money for hotel Manhattan.

104
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: You ever said, you know, I think we'll stay in

105
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: Manhattan one night. Dan, you look at the rates eight

106
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: hundred a night, one thousand a night. He said, I'm

107
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: not going to spend that. But here's the homeless getting

108
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: it for free. Now, why would you give a two

109
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: billion dollar contract to these hotels? Well, he may be stupid,

110
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: but he's like a real politician. Now he's getting to

111
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: be a real sleazy, corrupt politician. The reason you do that,

112
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: it's the big Hotel Association, which is one of the

113
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: biggest donors in politics, one of the biggest special interest

114
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: groups in New York, the Hotel Association. That's why politicians

115
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: love to give them multi billion dollar contracts. Multi billion

116
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: dollar contracts. Now here's the other problem, besides the fact

117
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: that you're overpaying like crazy to house the homeless. When

118
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: you give a billion dollar contracts, something happened during the

119
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: migrant crisis. When you when you take thousands and thousands

120
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: and thousands of hotel rooms for this purpose, you're taking

121
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of hotel rooms off the market, So

122
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: you're cutting down on the available number of hotel rooms

123
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: for tourists. And when you cut down the inventory, it

124
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: drives the price way up. So if it's eight hundred

125
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: a night for the hotel and you take five, six,

126
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: ten thousand rooms off the market, the price is going

127
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: to double on the hotels that are still on the markets.

128
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely insane. Only an idiot would do that, or a

129
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: sleazy politician who needs to take care of special interest groups.

130
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: The Hotel Association is one of them. I mean, not

131
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: their fault, but they're big, big, huge donors. They take

132
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: care of politicians. And it's not just them, a lot

133
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: of these unions they get big, big contracts from these

134
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: politicians because they make big, big, big donations. Let's get

135
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: to the Nancy Guthrie case. There's a name you don't

136
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: hear anymore, Nancy Guthrie. Go watch your TV twenty four

137
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: to seven. You won't hear the name Nancy Guthrie anymore.

138
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: Did everybody just give up. Well, that crazy sheriff, his

139
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: name is Nanos, that local sheriff who looked like a

140
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: real bumbling and competent from the beginning. Besides bumbling and incompetent,

141
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: is starting to look sleezier and sleezier and sleezier, and

142
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: stuff is coming out about this guy. Way in the

143
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: past in his career, he's lied on his resume. In

144
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: earlier jobs he had, he got brought up on charges

145
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: for all sorts of crap, so he's not the most

146
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: reputable guy in the world. And then Yesterday makes this

147
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: bizarre statement, because what happened to Nancy Garthrie? Why have

148
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: we stopped talking about it? Why have we forgotten about it?

149
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: So this sheriff yesterday says, well, he thinks he knows

150
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: why she was targeted. In fact, he warns the suspect

151
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: could strike again. Well, if he has any idea what happened,

152
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: why is he telling us? Why would you make such

153
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: a real, weird, mysterious statement like that. You're the sheriff.

154
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: I think I know what happened, and let us know.

155
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 1: Tell us there are some people, now this sounds a

156
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: little crazy, but there are some people now that think

157
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: he was involved somehow, or that he knew the people involved,

158
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: something like that. I have no evidence of that, and

159
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: it sounds crazy to me, but there are some people

160
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: that now are starting to believe that, Hey, the Department

161
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: of Justice issued a big correction, you know, the Muller Report,

162
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: that crazy Muller Report. This is hard to believe, but

163
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: ten years ago Democrats got so upset about Trump getting

164
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: elected that they've concocted one of the worst hoaxes ever

165
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: on the American public. It was the Russia collusion hoax.

166
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: They actually tried to convince people that Trump was some

167
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: sort of Russian agent, He was involved with the Russians.

168
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: He and Putin, they were colluding on stealing the election,

169
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: and they tried to convince everybody that Trump didn't win,

170
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: Russia actually tampered with the election. Now, you always get

171
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: some election denying through the years, Kennedy, Nixon, there's elections

172
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: where a lot of fraud took place, and it's always

173
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: brought up. There's a bunch of examples. Kerry claimed that

174
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: with Bush and all that. But this was the biggest

175
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: case of election denial ever, trying to claim Russia stole

176
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: the election, and it led to the Mueller investigation, the

177
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: Mueller witch hunt, which spent one hundred and fifty million

178
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: of taxpayer money and found absolutely no evidence anywhere of

179
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: any Russian collusion. Nothing. They found no evidence of Russia

180
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: tampering with the election. The only thing they came up

181
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: with they found that Russian bots or something spent one

182
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: hundred thousand on Facebook ads. Now that is absolutely nothing.

183
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: Big restaurants in Manhattan spent one hundred thousand on Facebook ads.

184
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: It's nothing. The campaigns each spent like two three hundred

185
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: million on Facebook eds. One hundred thousand on Facebook edds

186
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: is not going to do anything to affect anything in

187
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: the election. So the whole thing was a hoax. Well,

188
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: now the Department of Justice, going through the mull report,

189
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: has issued a huge correction in it. You remember there

190
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 1: was the story about Russia was blackmailing Trump because there

191
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: was a video of his stay in a Moscow hotel

192
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: room where he was with two prostitutes and there were

193
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: golden showers that remember that, this ridiculous, preposterous story about

194
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: this ridiculous video tape. It never happened, there's no video,

195
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: but they said it was a Russian intelligence agent. They

196
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: even named the guy Russian intelligence agent that was behind

197
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: this tape, Russian intelligence agent that was to help create

198
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: this whole Russia connection. Well they've corrected it now because

199
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: the guy whose name is Georgi richtrich Zaldi, whatever his

200
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: name is here, it turns out he's not Russian. He

201
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: was an American, and he's originally a Georgie, but he's

202
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: an American and he wasn't Russian, had nothing to do

203
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: with Russia. So that correction being put out yesterday by

204
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, first time we're ever hearing about that. Hey,

205
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, taxes in New York. They keep wanting to

206
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: raise taxes. They keep wanting to raise taxes on the rich,

207
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: raise taxes on everybody because they keep claiming, we just

208
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: don't have enough money. The budget, the budget, we're short

209
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: of money, we have a short New York City Council

210
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: wants to boost its own budget by ten percent ten percent.

211
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: It's one hundred and fifteen million a year. What the

212
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: hell would cost one hundred and fifteen million a year

213
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: for the city council. They want to raise it to

214
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: about one hundred and thirty million a year, Absolutely ridiculous.

215
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: They want to add fifty seven new jobs City Council.

216
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: They got a meeting room, they got that long desk

217
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: with the microphones. They show up, they talk, they vote.

218
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: That's all you need. Why would you need hundreds and

219
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: hundreds of employees for this? And they want to add

220
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: fifth fifty seven new jobs legal and professional contracts of

221
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: the eighteen new jobs just for the city council speaker.

222
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: What the hell would they need eighteen new people for?

223
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely ridiculous. Hey, if people tell you everybody's leaving New York,

224
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: you hear that all the time from people. Everybody I

225
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: know is leaving New York. People are fleeing New York.

226
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: It's absolutely not true. There are more people moving in

227
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: than moving out. In fact, the condo co op market,

228
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: especially the high end, it's more contracts closed last month

229
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: than usual the month before, more contracts closed than the

230
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: year before. And when it comes to rentals, and that's

231
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: the best way to tell, because a lot of people

232
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: when they move for the first time to New York,

233
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: new people coming in usually will rent first. They'll rent

234
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: and then maybe a year later, if they like it,

235
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: they'll buy something. But the rental market is the way

236
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: you tell. The rental market is through the roof. In fact,

237
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: it's very tough to rent anything right now. In fact,

238
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: we've set a new record for declines in available homes.

239
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: There's very very little inventory, a new record for how

240
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: many rentals are going on. It's a massive boom. It's

241
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: driving the price up. You know, we see the price

242
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: of rentals. One reason is so many people are moving here.

243
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: There's very very very very little inventory. So don't fall

244
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: for all that stuff. Now people are moving out of

245
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: Washington State. This is what happens when you try to

246
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: go soak the rich or target the billionaires. So they

247
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: wrought Washington State, putting in this new tax lots an

248
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: extra ten percent tax anybody making over a million dollars

249
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: a year. The founder, creator of Starbucks, which is probably

250
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: the most famous Washington State company, well maybe Microsoft, but

251
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: Starbucks just a symbol of Washington State. The chairman, the founder,

252
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: Howard Schultz, says he's leaving Washington the day before that

253
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: tax starts, because you know, if you got one hundred

254
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: million and the tax is ten million, you're handing ten

255
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: million to the government just to squander it, just to

256
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: waste it. If you're a guy like Howard Schultz, it's

257
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: not that you're greedy, but if you've got an extra tax,

258
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an extra twenty million. You'd rather give

259
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: that to your kids. You'd rather give that to a charity.

260
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: You'd rather donate that to a hospital. Why would you

261
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: want to give it to some slease ball politicians who

262
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: are going to waste the twenty million? So I don't

263
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: blame him. He's leaving, he's moving to Florida. Hey, we'll

264
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one zero

265
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one

266
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: zero seven ten.

267
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 3: Now back to the Mark Simon Show on wor.

268
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: Hey, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one

269
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to Tony

270
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: in Westchester.

271
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 4: Tony, how you doing, Hey, Mark, I'm doing well and

272
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 4: I love listening to you, and there's so many things

273
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: I'd love to talk to you about. You know, Rudy Giuliani.

274
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 4: This thing with Savannah Guthrie. There's something on the internet

275
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 4: that's saying, you know, she interviewed some people connected with

276
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 4: the ebscene case and they're trying to teach her.

277
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, don't believe that.

278
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 4: Okay, So here's the one yesterday when you're talking about

279
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 4: Elon being probably the next trillionaire, Why does it he

280
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 4: with all his brilliant attack homelessness because he's got enough

281
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 4: money to solve it on his own.

282
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: No, you gotta remember he could do that in the

283
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: second Guys like this could figure out everything. But he

284
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: tried it with the government waste and fraud, the DOGE program,

285
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: and all he did was get attacked day in night, NonStop,

286
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: and he had to back off. So that's the problem.

287
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: You could. You know, guys like that can come in

288
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: and fix everything in government, but the swamp, the deep

289
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: state will fight you like crazy and chase you out

290
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: of Washington. And that's what happened. Let's go to Barbara

291
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: in Woodside. Barbara, how you doing how you do?

292
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 5: And I'm doing great. Listen. I worked at the city

293
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 5: count so and all these people are political appointees. They're

294
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 5: favors to the political parties. And I stayed there only

295
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 5: four months because it's the environment was too political and

296
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 5: very hard to stay there.

297
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: So when they want to increase the budget, hire another

298
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: ninety people, it's like this is like Polly Walnuts. Polly

299
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: Walnuts notiondically, Paully Walnuts, no show jobs, that kind of stuff.

300
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: That makes sense. Let's go to Bob in Mottvale. Bob,

301
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: how you doing.

302
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 3: I'm hanging in there. Mark, thanks for taking their call.

303
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 3: So that the reason why they're closing out homeless shelf

304
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 3: for men is that it's decrepit. It's like any other

305
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 3: New York City landlord owned property. Let to go to shame,

306
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: and then they're going to spend billions on a hotel.

307
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: I know, but my point was that Chelsea Market was

308
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: the most decrepit thing in New York, and Irwin Cohen

309
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: bys it and says, let's transform it. All of a sudden,

310
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: it's the most beautiful building in New York on a hotspot.

311
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: And it didn't cost two billion like these hotel rooms.

312
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: It costs like twenty million. And that was it. Fix

313
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: it up it again, to fix up that. If you

314
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: give that shelter to Donald Trump and said turn this

315
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: into a ballroom, it'd be the most gleaming, beautiful ballroom

316
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: in New York in two months. So you can fix

317
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: up the shelter. You don't have to spend billions and

318
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: billions in hotel rooms. But as we pointed out, it's

319
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: a contract to the Hotel Association, which can do you

320
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: a lot of good if you're a politician. Let's go

321
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: to Tony and White Plains. Tony, how you doing?

322
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, good morning, Mark. I also met Ernie Anastas. I

323
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 6: live in White Plains, West Sheffe.

324
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: If you okay, No, I love White Plains. It's a

325
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: beautiful place. You got a Trump Tower in White Plains,

326
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: You got a rich Garlton and White Plains.

327
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, But the reason why I called is I

328
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 6: met Ernie actually in the Poconos, Popono downs at the racetrack.

329
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 6: My friend George Anthony, he calls the races there, and

330
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 6: I'm also in the horse business. And I was with

331
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 6: my wife and some friends, and then we went up

332
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 6: to the booths. My friend George was calling the races

333
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 6: and and and there was George Anthony.

334
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we gotta speed this story up a little.

335
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: Let's get to Ernie.

336
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 6: Ernie an ass I'm sorry, and and uh he introduced

337
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 6: us and he was a perfect gentleman. But we used

338
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 6: to watch them all the time. He didn't hit you, no, no, no,

339
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 6: he doesn't. He actually even off off the pie is

340
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 6: a hot dog. But we already have one because they

341
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 6: were having.

342
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: The All right, now, that's a good, good point. Yeah,

343
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: Ernie was the nicest guy in the world. If you

344
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: go on Instagram, you'll see millions of people putting up

345
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: pictures with Ernie. That's because anybody who wanted to stop

346
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: and take a picture, he would be happy to do it.

347
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: Nicest guy ever. Check out my Instagram. There's some pictures

00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 7: time you come out, go to Pie. It's on Main Street.

352
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 7: It's a nice place that makes Colon pie is good.

353
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: You got that Prohibition restaurant that's very good.

354
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 4: Yeah.

355
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 7: I haven't been there anyway, Lisa Harris.

356
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: The great baker and you got that there.

357
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, trying to lose weight, which is impossible. But anyway,

358
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 7: And if.

359
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: You're in are you near Smithtown?

360
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 7: Uh? Yeah, I am.

361
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: Big spectacular new restaurant just open there, the Chaz It's

362
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: the sister restaurant of Rothman's, just opening in Smithtown this week.

363
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 7: I'll have to try it. Anyway, Listen, we're in trouble

364
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 7: when macdonnie in the city. My kids live in the

365
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 7: city and they voted for him because they're crazy left wingers.

366
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 7: What can I say? They grew up in Garden City,

367
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 7: which when there was a Democratic vote in the ballot,

368
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 7: they'd have an investigation. But that'sn't either here or there

369
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 7: with mcdonnie, With Mandannie, we're in trouble because even if

370
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 7: Bruce Blakeman should win.

371
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: We will win. Bruce Blakeman, no.

372
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 7: I hope he will. I hope he will win, but

373
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 7: he would if he wins, and he can remove when

374
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 7: Donnie under the city CHARTERA, you have the you have

375
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 7: the public advocates. Joannie Williams.

376
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 3: He's just well.

377
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: But also remember Bruce Blakeman, when he gets elected governor,

378
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: can remove the district attorneys. He can get rid of

379
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: Alvin Bragging, put in real DA. Things can happen, Mark Listing,

380
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm not always so depressed. First of all, this whole

381
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: thing is your fault. You're crazy left wing kids voted

382
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: for him.

383
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 7: Let me tell you. I'll tell you what I told him.

384
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 7: I finally told my daughter, who went to a fancy

385
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 7: school I paid for it. I said, I should have

386
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 7: sent you to the University of Havana. It would have

387
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 7: been cheaper that same results.

388
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: Like goodbye, pretty call Hey. When we come back to

389

Speaker 1: book if it's a big bestseller. But if you haven't

398
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: Miranda Divine, you doing, I'm.

399
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 8: Really well, Thanks Mark, Thanks for having me on.

400
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: Thanks for all the great work, great columns. Hey talk

401
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: about the media, the far left, me even normal mainstream

402
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: It's gone crazy. Those two Isis bomb throwers are just happy,

403
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: go lucky teenagers and they're attacking us over Iran. What

404
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: is going on here?

405
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 8: I just think that Trump derangement has gripped so hard

406
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 8: that they can't even see for their own self protection.

407
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 8: Or the protection of their readers, their viewers. They don't care.

408
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 8: You know, they make us more at risk by downplaying

409
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 8: these terrorist attacks. I mean, I think now it's impossible

410
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 8: for them to pretend that we're not suffering from a rise,

411
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 8: a surge in Islamic terrorism. And this is something that

412
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 8: New York knows all too well. And yet we have

413
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 8: a mayor who is the chief of the down players.

414
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 8: He posed as if he were the victim of the

415
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 8: two Isis inspired suspects who threw those homemade bombs into

416
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 8: a crowd outside his Gracie Anshen. He was perfectly safe

417
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 8: because he's got a massive detail and the house is

418
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 8: set right back from the street. But still he just

419
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 8: could not bring himself to utter the word terrorism until

420
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 8: two or three days on. And at the very beginning,

421
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 8: he was just railing against what was it like white

422
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 8: supremacy and bigotry and racism because they were these anti

423
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 8: Muslim protesters outside Gracey Anshen, but the attackers were attacking them.

424
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 8: They were on his side. And you know, this is

425
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 8: a mayor who doesn't get it.

426
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but maybe he does get it, maybe, you know,

427
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: like inviting that terrorist sympathizer to dinner at Gracie Mansion.

428
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 1: If you wanted to his friend, maybe talk to him

429
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: privately on the phone, but to bring him right into

430
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: Gracie Mansion. He's trying to send us a message.

431
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 8: Of some kind, isn't he and then tweet out a photo.

432
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 8: It wasn't as if he was even discreet about it.

433
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 8: He invited Mahmood Khalil, who's the anti Hamas agitator who

434
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 8: organized or led the Columbia protests and to the Trump

435
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 8: administration has been trying to deport and has become a

436
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 8: cause celebrity in the left. And for Zora ma'am Dani,

437
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 8: this guy is just a hero and a saint. So

438
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 8: he invites him over and honors him with a special dinner.

439
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 8: And that's just twenty four hours after these two bombs

440
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 8: that only by the grace of God did not explode

441
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 8: and kill a name, dozens of people and police officers.

442
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: Now this is all just in the first few weeks

443
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: this mayor then the cop is shoting, he goes to

444
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: visit the shooter in the hospital, not the ow. So

445
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: what are we going to do for the next three

446
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: and a half years.

447
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, Downey is just the most obvious manifestation

448
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 8: of this sickness. And the Democrat Party, and you know,

449
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 8: as you say, they identify with the persecutor, not the victim.

450
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 8: They are soft on crime because they think that anybody

451
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 8: who's locked up by law enforcement is a victim, and

452
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 8: they're victims are just people that you're just inconvenient truths

453
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 8: that you just want to ignore. And they seem to

454
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 8: feel that they themselves are impervious to any consequences. And

455
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 8: I guess when you control cities like the Democrats do

456
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 8: across this country. They control the greatest cities New York, LA, Chicago,

457
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 8: they control the nation's capital to the point where you

458
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 8: cannot Washington, DC. The Trump administration cannot get a jury

459
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 8: that is unby so they can't really prosecute any of

460
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 8: the cases they want to bring, and they're a sort

461
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 8: of a stalemate. And you know, the Democrats also control

462
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 8: the legal profession, and so they're busy concocting new law

463
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 8: fare while the Trump administration, the DOJ is kind of

464
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 8: flowing on the back foot and has a whole bunch

465
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 8: of vipers within the net.

466
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: Miranda divine. The other media narrative is about Iran. Well,

467
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: the president has not explained to us, what do you

468
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: need anything explain to you. I think I could see

469
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: the purpose of this wark, can't you.

470
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 8: I mean, I think it's been crystal clear, from the

471
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 8: bombing last year of the nuclear facilities at Fudo to

472
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 8: the Saturday that he decided to launch an attack. I

473
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 8: think it's been pretty obvious. I mean, it's actually has

474
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 8: been obvious for almost half a century that Iran is

475
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 8: our enemy. And they make no bones about it. They're

476
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 8: constantly saying, get to America. They fund all the proxies

477
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 8: that attack Americans of the battlefield in Iraq and Afghanistan.

478
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 8: They are the masterminds of the IEDs that killed and

479
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 8: maimed and left brain injured so many American soldiers. So

480
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 8: we know that they do not mean well to us.

481
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 8: But every other president has erred on the side of

482
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 8: caution and decided that Iran is too big a beast

483
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 8: to go after, and so they've just tried to appease

484
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 8: them with billions of dollars of cash, as the Barmer

485
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 8: administration did, or turn a blind eye, or kick the

486
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 8: can down the road. And Donald Trump's not a guy

487
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 8: to kick the can down the road. So for good

488
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 8: or for ill. We're in it now, and I think

489
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 8: it's incumbent on us to support what the administration is

490
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 8: doing and just hope they know what they're doing.

491
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: Miranda Divine, do we need obviously we do, but can

492
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: we ever get term limits? You know you got this Clyburn,

493
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: James Clyburn, he's eighty five running for reelection. We really

494
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: do need term limits, don't we?

495
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, we need term limits, and also we don't need dynasties. Honestly,

496
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 8: what is it? Cliburn's daughter apparently is waiting in the

497
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 8: team takeover when he finally decides, after what is it

498
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 8: seventeen terms that he might take a break. The problem

499
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 8: is he has such a stranglehold on that neck of

500
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 8: the woods that he'll just get whatever he wants so

501
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 8: he'll be able to run again from a coffin.

502
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: Not good, Not good. Hey, we love your podcast, Miranda

503
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: Divine does the great podcast pod Force one. There's a

504
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: whole many great episodes with President Trump. Everybody can go

505
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: on wherever you get your podcast, you can listen to

506
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: all of them. Who do you have next?

507
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 8: So we've got oh, I'm trying to remember. I think

508
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 8: it's Brendan Carr, the FCC Commissioner. Yeah, it was going

509
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 8: to be James Coma. We're interviewing both, but James Coma

510
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 8: has got just had an issue in Kentucky that he's

511
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 8: got to stay, so so we're not sure if we're

512
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 8: going to be able to interview James Commea. I would

513
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 8: love to do that, love to find out what he

514
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 8: thought of Hillary Clinton her testimony, and what he thinks

515
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 8: of Jill Biden's new book. So we will get to

516
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 8: him at some point, but it may not be in

517
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 8: time for our next drop on Wednesday.

518
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: Of course, one we'll make sure you get Miranda Devine's

519
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: latest book, The Big Guy. She's written the best books

520
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: on Joe Biden. The Big Guy is a huge best seller.

521
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: What do you think? What do you think Joe Biden

522
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: will be in the next year, just still sitting there

523
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: in Delaware doing nothing.

524
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 8: Well, we want to know obviously their grifts by nature

525
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 8: and explains Jill Biden's book, But I don't know he's

526
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 8: like when he's allowed out, he reminds us of who

527
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,959
Speaker 8: he is. And he gave a speech the other day

528
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 8: in which he told everyone that he's smarter than all

529
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 8: of you and he's always been smarter, and everyone thought

530
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 8: that he wasn't smart because he had a stutter, but

531
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 8: actually hid his genius. I don't know why he was

532
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 8: talking about that, but that's him. It's all about Joe Biden.

533
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 8: So I think until his dying breath, he will be

534
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 8: lying for America and self agrandizing and telling tall tales.

535
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: And flying commercial all the time. He's the only ex

536
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: president can't seem to borrow a plane from anybody because

537
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: he's always flying commercial. It's pretty embarrassing.

538
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, I think the Democrat donors were furious

539
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 8: about the twenty four election with both Joe Biden and

540
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 8: Kamala Harris. And Joe Biden saddled the Democrat party with

541
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 8: Kamala Harris because he promised Jim Clyburn and another that

542
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 8: he would appoint a woman of color as his v

543
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 8: and he did that, and he chose probably the stupidest

544
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 8: woman of color he could have found in the whole

545
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 8: country in Kamil Harris. But that was stuck with her

546
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 8: and she was unelectable. And yet she still has a

547
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 8: baton in her knapsack. She's still or is teasing that

548
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 8: she's going to run again.

549
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: Say that again. A button in her knapsack.

550
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,479
Speaker 8: It must be an australianisn't fashin like a leadership Batson?

551
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: A baton in her knapsack. I got to use that.

552
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: That's excellent.

553
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 8: I didn't realize it. It was a strange Australian.

554
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm afraid it is. But it's great. Well, everybody get
