Speaker 1: And Mark on demand by setting a pre sad for

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,520

00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 2: Now back to Mark Simon on or.

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,280

Speaker 2: Hey, Mark, so good, glad to have you back. Hey, Look,

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: got to ask you a question. Next time you go on vacation,

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: is it possible you could possibly maybe bring on Rachel

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: Maddow or Don Lemon the guest host instead of Curtis Man.

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: Curtis's TDS was running rampant.

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't I heard some of it. He doesn't agree

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: with the Trump on Greenland. But that's okay.

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: I tell you what though the band thing you did

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: was you know, don't he talks to any Trump supporters

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: of drank the kool aid?

16
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 3: You know?

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: It's one thing in your opinion, and I don't agree.

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: But the thing is when you know.

19
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: But Curtis got a lot of great stuff to talk about,

20
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: all kinds of things.

21
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 3: You know.

22
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: Ed Cotch used to have a rule, and he used

23
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: to say, if you agree with me on nine out

24
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: of twelve things, vote for me. If you agree twelve

25
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: out of twelve. See a Psychiatrist's you're not gonna agree

26
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: with them on everything. The stuff with me you won't

27
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: agree on.

28
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: I could see why Vincent doesn't call in because he

29
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: must know more.

30
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: I have a feeling something happened way back when with

31
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 1: what's going on? What are you do in Saint Louis?

32
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: Freezing my butt off?

33
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: Really?

34
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: Samn Cole Derek, Yeah, for sure.

35
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: It's not warmer in St. Louis.

36
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: You're not a little further really not really so. But anyway,

37
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: great show, lack and I just really got turned off.

38
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: But oh, calm down, it's not that bad.

39
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: I was just wonderful.

40
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: Just me, or if you're hearing anybody else.

41
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: No, I'm sure some people didn't like the criticism of Trump,

42
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: but that was like five minutes out of two hours.

43
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: I'm sure Curtis, even me, you'll find things you don't

44
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: agree with me on, but you can't judge by one thing.

45
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to Randall in Maryland. Randall, how you doing.

46
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: Oh Mark, have you heard about this basket? The college

47
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: basketball scandal?

48
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, these are these students on the team and there

49
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: were bad teams. They got paid like ten thousand each

50
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: to lose the game. Make it even worse than people

51
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: thought it would be right and.

52
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: The same old story. But I have yet to hear

53
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: any names of colleges or players.

54
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I thought it was pretty good on their part.

55
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: I mean, good for them showing innovation. They make ten

56
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: thousand a game, these students. You don't think that was good. Well,

57
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: it's a losing team. They're expected to lose by twenty points.

58
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: But these bookmakers want to have them be so bad

59
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: that they lose by forty points and would help the bookmakers.

60
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: But hey, if you stink at basketball, why do not

61
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: get paid ten thousand a game? It's a all right,

62
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: you don't agree with me.

63
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: Well it's not being covered. I don't Who are they

64
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: and who's being charged?

65
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: Well, how do you know about it if it's not being.

66
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: Covered, Well, I heard about that it's being covered.

67
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: Just google it, it'll come up. It's not a big

68
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: story where they'd be right in the front page, but

69
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: google it, it'll come up. Are you a gambler? Do

70
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: you bet on the games?

71
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: I don't bet on games, but I do gam.

72
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought. You see, I don't gamble,

73
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: I don't bet on games. I don't care if.

74
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: They do it.

75
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, so That's what I thought. But google it,

77
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: When I was in college, I didn't play basketball. But

78
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: if somebody offered me ten thousand a game to be

79
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: even worse, hey, I'd take it. Why not. Let's go

85
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you're going to find out everybody profited. Hey,

86
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: I hate to break it to you that you vote

87
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: for these socialists. One thing that happens when you get

88
00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: a socialist, they make a fortune and everything gets worse

89
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: for you. The socialist always makes a fortune. Who's the

90
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: biggest socialist in government? Bernie Sanders. How many homes does

91
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: he have? Now? Four homes, four big mansions. He's doing

92
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: very very well. He and his wife made millions and

93
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: millions millions on these campaigns. Bill de Blasio and his wife,

94
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 1: Remember they started that program Thrive NYC. One billion dollars

95
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: went missing. This happens all the time. This daycare fraud

96
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: thing in Minnesota. It looks like they're now estimating nineteen

97
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: or twenty billion, not million. Nineteen billion was robbed. You're

98
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: going to find a lot of that money went into

99
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: a lot of public officials pockets. It happens all the time.

100
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: Watch for it to happen with mom, Donnie. That's why

101
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: he's talking about a billion dollar program to do this,

102
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: a billion dollar program to do that. There's skimming and

103
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: money going sideways in those programs that socialists always end

104
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: up wealthy, while the people who have voted for them

105
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: end up even in worst shape after socialism. Hey, when

106
