1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: In Mark on demand by setting a presead for his

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 2: Now back to Mark Simon on woor.

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: Hey, let's sen some calls. Let's go to Rich and

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you doing?

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 3: Hey? Thanks Mark, good to talk to you again. You know,

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 3: this thing in Minnesota was gonna happen. The Dems wanted

8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 3: this to happen. They've been calling for this kind of

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 3: action for a year and a half now, and he

10
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: knew what was going to happen. And all these people,

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 3: these politicians jumped in front of a microphone before they

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: had any facts. And now they're going to write and

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 3: burn down Minneapolis, just like they did after Floyd or

14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 3: whatever his name was. It's just discussing. The press just

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: sits by and does absolutely nothing about it. Can help.

16
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: Actually, they do a lot. They go crazy trying to

17
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: rile everybody up. You're right in the offices of CNN

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: and MS now in the New York Times, when this

19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: video came in, they actually said to themselves, Great, this

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: is great. We can use this week, can use this

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: for months. Now let's go to Mara in Nevada. Mara,

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: how you doing?

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 4: Mark? This is starting my forty sixth year of having

24
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 4: you in my life.

25
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 4: And you know what the best thing was six months

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 4: ago I met you and rugged you. Was that six

28
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 4: months ago I sent into my life?

29
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: Yes, Mara and Vincent came to New York. They went

30
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: to the legendary Patsy's restaurant.

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 4: Yes, and he's been in my life. We talked at

32
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 4: least every week.

33
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: Wow, that's great. And if you go to my Instagram

34
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: you can see a picture of Vincent and Mara at Patsy's.

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: You gotta scroll back, like, what.

36
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 4: A great day, Mark Darling. You put a smile on

37
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 4: my face. I'm very, very old. So let's see how

38
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 4: long you're could be doing it.

39
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: A spring chicken as they used to say. Okay, I

40
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: need all right, Mara, thanks for calling. Let's go to

41
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: Tony and White Plains. Tony, how you doing, Yeah, Mark.

42
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: Mark, those hippoprists over there in the other station at ABC.

43
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: Don't pick on them. They're all nice people.

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they're the reason why they got zoron because

45
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: especially Salato over there, domin.

46
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: Catta, I don't pick friends of mine. Don't pick on them,

47
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: I know.

48
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: But he started from day one Kurts came when you know,

49
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: you know why he kept saying that, because he was

50
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: afraid if Curtis did win.

51
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: No, no, no, you know why they kept saying that. They

52
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: convinced themselves to that. You know, you can't get mad

53
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: at somebody for their uh, they're the.

54
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: Reason why they got zoron, And they're saying that.

55
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: Well, if you got to blame somebody for Zorn, you

56
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: got to blame Andrew Cuomo. This is all his fault.

57
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: He came along and it didn't just start with the

58
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: election season. He started about two years ago, working on

59
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: the whole crowd there, the whole Upper East side, the

60
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: Hampton's Palm Beach. He was whining and dining all these donors,

61
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: these big they're nice people, the big donors, but they're

62
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: the dumbest people in the world when it comes to politics.

63
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: They always backed the wrong But he convinced them that

64
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: only he can win. I don't know how the hell

65
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: he convinced pretty. It's a fascinating thing to study. Here's

66
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: the guy who just got run out of office with

67
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: the police chasing him. Here's a guy who left and

68
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: resigned in disgrace two years later. He's convincing them he

69
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: could be elected. That's like Nixon two years after Watergate

70
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: thinking he can run again. Give Elliot Spitzer some credit.

71
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: At least he's a classy guy about it. He got

72
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: run out of office with the criminal kind of things

73
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: hanging around over his head. He knows he can't run again.

74
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: But Cuomo convinced them he could run again. He completely

75
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: screwed up the Democratic primary by scaring Eric Adams out

76
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: of it. Had been no Cuomo, Eric Adams would have

77
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: run for reelection, would have been in the primary, probably

78
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: could have won the Democratic primary. He can out. Cuomo's

79
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: the world's worst debater. He got beaten to a pulp

80
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: by Montani in two debates. Adams would have done better.

81
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: He's not the most articulate guy in the world, but

82
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: he can be charming in those debates. He probably would

83
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: have got the nomination and that would have been the

84
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: end of it. Let's go to Bob in Montvale, New Jersey. Bob,

85
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: how you doing good?

86
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 5: Mard Thanks a lot, But I don't want to like

87
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 5: keep loading up on the Somalians. But you know, in

88
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 5: Maine there's a very similar problem, but probably worse. You know,

89
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 5: a few years ago there was that mass shooting there,

90
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 5: eighteen people murdered.

91
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, all the money.

92
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 5: That was collected gofund me was directed to Somalian NGO.

93
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: Is there. Oh yeah, No, it's bad everywhere. In fact,

94
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: people think California may set the all time record for

95
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: this kind of fraud. They haven't started to look into

96
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: it yet, and they think Illinois's got a huge, huge

97
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: number when it comes to this kind of fraud. It's

98
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: all over the place. And the Somalians in the fraud

99
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: schemes of Minnesota are so thrilled about this shooting yesterday

100
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: because it gets them off the front page for a while.

101
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to Grace, Rockland County. Grace, how you doing.

Speaker 1: Listen, that's a south school teacher talks. You walk in

Speaker 1: A school teacher.

113
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 6: Of course, I was a winter Hunter college. I graduated

00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 6: with honest get a little. Come on, because I sound

115
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 6: like a homie doesn't mean I'm not refine and ed.

116
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: No, you're very fine. In fact, I can't believe you

117
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: went to Hunter. I was thinking Oxford, Cambridge or something.

118
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, I was a child of an immigrant.

119
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 6: I went to Hunter. Okay, what I'm calling about is this.

120
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 6: I feel sorry the woman got killed, but she and

121
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 6: her partner should have worried about not putting themselves in danger.

122
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 6: Actually one of them.

123
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: She's married to a woman, and the woman, the partner,

124
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: said this is all my fault. I shouldn't have brought

125
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: her into this situation. I shouldn't have brought her to this protest.

126
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 6: Right. I'm glad you said that. But the thing is you,

127
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 6: as a mother, you do not put yourself in that

128
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 6: kind of danger. I feel very sorry, but unfortunately you

129
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 6: reap what you sow.

130
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: Now, Grace, where do you live in Rockland County?

131
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 6: Oh? I'm in I'm in Clarkstown.

132
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: Now, Clarkstown's a beautiful small town. When you talk like

133
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: that in Clarkstown, can they tell you from New York?

134
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 6: Yes?

135
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: I don't see. What's the regular Sherlock Holmes that they

136
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: figured it out?

137
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 6: I don't really care what anybody says.

138
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: You're very charming.

139
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,120

140
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,000

00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,480
