Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is seven, tor Boy, The Mark Simoon Show starts now.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, oh, yesterday, well it was no I mean a
couple of times going to actual, actual snowflakes coming. I
was freezing a little warmer today. It'll get back into
the fifties this weekend. That's good news. We got a
lot to get to. We'll get to Chuck Schumer the
end of his career. We'll get to Mom Donnie the
beginning of this Meyrill nightmare of his. We'll get to

(00:29):
another new Democrat candidate that's absolutely frightening. We'll get to
We'll get to everybody loves Raymond. They got big news there.
We'll get to the next media attacks that are coming,
the media doing it. Used to be report the news.
Now it's spend all day trying to get Trump on something.
We'll tell you what's what's coming next. The shutdown. The

(00:53):
vote will take place in the House later today that
will end the shutdown. They'll vote to end it. I
know some people talking about posing some Democrats say they
will not go along with it. They'll end up they'll
end up ending it today. The vote will be successful
and the shutdown will end tonight, probably six seven, o'clock
somewhere around there, and then air traffic control will start

(01:17):
to get better. The air traffic controllers have to come back.
It's a slow process. It won't be probably till Monday
that gets back to normal. They'll start coming back slowly
over the weekend. Here's the Transportation Secretary Duffy.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
We had four staffing triggers today.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
On Saturday there were eighty one. I think Sunday was
fifty three.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
So real issues. I don't know what he's talking about.
They love to use that jargon staffing triggers, AH, staffing
trigger Who knows what the hell that is.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
But here is air traffic controllers are seeing and end
to the shutdown and feel more hopeful, and they're coming
in to their facilities.

Speaker 5 (01:56):
So we're grateful to them for all that they're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, when they weren't getting paid, you know, the didn't
get paid for forty days, and some wouldn't work without
getting paid. They just called in sick. But some even
without getting paid, felt the duty to come in and
they did. And President Trump said he will try to
get each one that came in and worked during the shutdown,
get them a ten thousand dollars bonus, so that'll be
good news. Once the shutdowns over, everybody gets paid. Everybody

(02:21):
gets their back pay, so nobody loses a penny on this.
And then the big issue then after the shutdown, the
Democrats got nothing out of it. But nobody ever does
no party, Republicans or Democrats. Fourteen shutdowns. It's never done
any good for one side or another. The shutdown caucus
is oh for fourteen. It never accomplishes anything. You could

(02:43):
argue that one thing Democrats got out of it is though,
and they'll tell you this, well, the one thing they
got out of it. And now we've brought the focus
back to healthcare, Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, fixing it.
We brought the focus back on that. That'll be in
the spotlight. That's what one. But at some point people

(03:04):
got start to realize, wait a minute, there's something this
Obamacare was obviously a failure. First of all, they called
it the Affordable Care Act. If it's so affordable, why
would you need a subsidy. It's supposed to be affordable
by definition. But the other thing is people are starting
to realize, wait a minute, the fact that we're talking
about it, the fact that it's a major issue means

(03:25):
it's not working. If it was working great, you wouldn't
be hearing about it. It wouldn't be an issue. The
fact that it's an issue, the fact that you had
to shut down a government over it, means it's a disaster.
It's not working at all. It's a big problem. President
Trump keeps talking about, you know, redoing it. Come up
with something else. You know, people say, well, where's the plan,

(03:45):
what's the plan? He doesn't have one yet.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
But.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
You know, and he's not a healthcare expert, but he
certainly got a lot a lot of people there that
are and they could come up with something much better. Remember,
President Trump's the only president ever in history who took
office having already run healthcare plans. You know, he's a
guy that had ten thousand employees and lots of companies
and lots and lots and lots and lots of people

(04:11):
to get healthcare for so over forty years he's been
buying and getting healthcare plans. And when you do that
for a major company with thousands of employees, you've got
to meet with these healthcare plan companies and go over them.
So he's got some exit's minor compared to a government
health care plan. But he's got more experience at this
than any other president ever has.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
Here he is on the the premiums have gone up
like rocket ships, and I'm not just talking about recent
I want instead of going to the insurance companies, I
want the money to go into an account for people
with the people buy their own health insurance.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
It's so good, the.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
Insurance will be better, it'll cost less. Everybody's going to
be happy. They're going to feel like entrepreneurs are actually
able to go out and negotiate their own health insurance.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, okay, I mean that sounds good on paper. It
doesn't actually always work in reality now. But the thing is,
if let's say it's costing you one hundred thousand per
person to give them the healthcare, it might be cheaper
just to here's thirty thousand go out and buy regular healthcare.
So he's got something there. He hasn't got it figured out,
but he's got something there. Here's the real problem with Obamacare.
The idea was you'd make everybody go on it, and

(05:17):
then all the people under forty never need anything. They
don't have any big medical expenses, so they're just pumping
money in and that's paying for the older people who
need the services. But courts looked at that and it
looked like the courts were going to rule against that,
saying you just can't mandate it. You can't force people

(05:37):
onto healthcare. But so before the courts even got to that,
and it was the twenty seventeen legislation, they removed the mandate.
They just knew it wouldn't hold up, so that there
was no more mandate. And if younger people don't have
to get the healthcare, they don't because they don't get sick.
So without all the young people paying in, it was
just old people taking money out. So the Obamacare system

(06:00):
collapsed under the weight doctor Oz, I mean, he's one
of the guys that knows a little about this kind
of stuff, will help try to fix. Here's doctor Alot.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I'm going to share with you numbers that will blow
your mind. And these are the actual numbers from CMS.
We believe four point four million people are not appropriately
enrolled in Obamacare, which means they're phantoms. They don't know
they have the insurance, they don't want the insurance, they
didn't need the insurance. They're already enrolled in some other policies,
so we as taxpayers are paying for four point four

(06:29):
million people to have full benefits for no good reason.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
That's the other problem. If the government runs the healthcare.
Government has tended to be sloppy, stupid, and you know,
the private sector, it's their money, so they police themselves
a lot better.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
It's over eleven million people who have Obamacare never use
their policies. They don't buy medications with it, they don't
see doctors and use it, which means they often don't
know they have it. And yet we're still stuck with
the bill. The President doesn't want that anymore. He wants
to waste, fraud and abuse taken out of the system.
He wants to take care of the people getting the
aca Obamaca cares insurance, and we want to bring privatelycarried

(07:04):
people into the system as well. And that's what he's
talking about. Let Americans use their money wisely.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
That's a good argument. You know, government overpays, like the
ten percent for things. You know, a simple thing like
pav in the highway. If the private sector does it
pave a a mile of highway forty thousand dollars, when
the government does it a million a mile I mean,
he just overpay for everything. So it's a good argument. Now,
Hakeem Jeffreys, that's silly. The House Leader of the Democrats,

(07:35):
such a dumb guy. But he was asked about what
doctor Oz said.

Speaker 7 (07:39):
Here, Nobody who's serious in this country takes doctor Oz seriously,
no one, and I mean it's shocking that the guy
even was confirmed. I'm not going to respond to any
comments from Randalls like doctor Oz, who is woefully unqualified
to be in whatever position he holds any administration.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
He's a joke. That's pretty funny, actually, I think I
just think of doctor Oz, one of the greatest heart
surgeons in America, an incredible medical career at all the
top hospitals. You couldn't have a bigger career as a
doctor or in the medical world. Hakim Jeffries IQ of
ninety ninety five maybe never did a thing in his life,

(08:25):
doesn't know anything, has no skills, so he had to
go in a government thinks Oz as a joke. Hakim Jeffries.
Oz has literally, well almost literally double the IQ of
Hakim Jeffries.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
You know he didn't understand the message.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Well his eyes responding to Hakim Jeffries.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
You know, he didn't understand the message. That's an important one,
so he tried to attack the messenger with an ad
hominem approach. But you know, that's not how you deal
with the challenges that twenty four million people are facing
now because the Democratic Party has not been able to
really put forward a program that could work. Just throwing
more money at it is not a strategy. That's a
tactic that has already created immense amounts of fraud in

(09:02):
the system.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, very good point. Now I say nothing came of
the shutdown, Well, some good came out of it. We're
probably going to get rid of Chuck Schumer. His term
is till he doesn't run for reelection till twenty twenty eight,
so he actually serves till January of twenty twenty nine.
That's three more years of this guy. But the good
news is Democrats can't take three more years of this guy.

(09:25):
They want to remove him as House leader, a Senate leader.
They want to remove him as the Senate leader, which
will be a huge humiliation for him. President Trump, I
just went too far.

Speaker 6 (09:34):
He thought he could break the Republicans, and the Republicans
broke him. We have good policy, they have bad policy,
and there's something I don't know if it's Trump derangement
or they just crazed. They're like crazed lunatics, but you know,
we have just great policy.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, now Schumer's finished. They all hate him, the high
falutin Morning Joe, Rachel Maddow type shows, the John Stewart,
they're going after him like crazy. But even the dumb shows,
even the low IQ shows, and sometimes they're a better
barometer because if the low IQ shows have figured it out,
that means everybody has like listen to the view when
they talk about Chuck Schumer.

Speaker 8 (10:09):
So the bottom line is the Democrats went into this
after a blue wave out of the American people saying
we do want the opposition, the working people want the
Democratic Party to fight for them, and now they just
cave and surrendered. I think Chuck Schumer his days are
over and he cannot put that and he cannot keep
his pockets together. If he cannot keep hisquokets together, he

(10:32):
needs to go.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
He needs to be.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, the audience applotting wildly to get rid of Chuck Schumer. Hey,
there's a lot of media attacks coming against Donald Trump.
You're gonna be hearing about these for the next day
or two. First is Jeffrey Epstein. You're going to keep
hearing about secret emails, undiscovered email he knew emails have emerged.
Epstein says, Trump knew all about everything about the women,

(10:55):
about all of it. Well, none of this is true.
It turns out the what the talking about, the their
emails where he's writing. Michael wolf the sleezy, dirty tabloid writer,
the sleezy, dirty gossip writer, contact at Epstein at some
point and Epstein's writing back and forth. Now everybody knows
about Michael Wolfe, I mean people that deal with him.

(11:16):
Guy will say anything about Trump if you If you
don't believe me, just go check his Instagram. Every day
he makes an Instagram video where he's sitting in a
different part of his house or he's in his backyard
looks like the Hamptons and he's just sitting there bad
mouthing Trump the worst attacks in the world. None of
them are true. Go back and watch the old ones.
You'll see nothing he said ever came true. And he's

(11:37):
written two books about Trump, and he gets himself on
every Sunday show. It just makes up crap about Trump
and a lot of Times people, a lot of people
that are media savvy. When you get one of those guys,
one of those reporters, writers calmis, that will print anything
and they don't really verify it. They'll print anything you

(11:58):
tell them. You know, you can tell him anything, so
you just make up crap and tell him. You know,
if you're talking to some very very top journalist the world,
you gotta be careful. You know, if you tell him
something that's not true, he's gonna check it and then
he's not gonna trust you anymore. But when you're talking
to him Michael, well, if you can tell him anything
and he'll he'll run with it. So that's Epstein talking
to Wolf. And it's just it's it's just nonsense. It's

(12:21):
this is back in twenty nineteen, so it's years ago.
It was a two thousand and sixteen or twenty eleven
or something. It's way way way back. It's it's a
long time ago. And he says Trump Trump knew about
all the girls. Well, he probably did, because I remember
way back when, twenty years ago. More than that, Trump

(12:41):
warning me and other people to stay the hell away
from Epstein. In fact, I mean I knew Epstein not well.
But I one reason is Trump and two other people
who you wouldn't know, always warned me stay away from
this guy. Hey, don't go near this guy. And then
the other thing is there about Marloge. You know, Trump

(13:02):
banned Epstein from mar A Lago when Epstein first got
to Palm Beach as a very wealthy guy. When you're
a wealthy hotshot and new to Palm Beach, first thing
you do is you joined mar A Lago. And he
was spending a lot of time there, but he was
hitting on a young girl that worked in the locker room.
Turned out it was the daughter of a member. Trump
went crazy, banned him, threw him out of the club,

(13:23):
never spoke to him again. So you're going to see
one of these emails. Epstein tells Michael Wolfe. I was
never a member of mar A Lago. I was never
a member. As if Trump were lying now, it could
be was never a member because back in those days,
if you were a friend of Trump's you didn't have
to be a member. You could go anyway. It wasn't
that formal. Whenever you wanted to go, you just called

(13:44):
Trump's office and they would put your name on at
the Gate to come in anytime you want, you just
call you'd call Rona or before that, you'd call Norma
and you could go to mar alago A lot of
his friends just went there, some of them famously not
paying for anything, charging everything to Trump. But you could
do that back then. So don't trust any of these emails.

Speaker 9 (14:04):
Now.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
The other thing that's going to come out, you know,
Letitia James is in big trouble. Mortgage fraud. They came
up with all this stuff she lied on, lied to
the bank, lied to you know, mortgage fraud. She claimed
it would be a primary residence when it couldn't be
set it on several documents. This is all fraud and
it also is going to lead to indictments for tax

(14:24):
evasion all that kind of stuff. So they're going to
start to go after this that somehow whoever got these
documents and dug up this fraud, got them illegally, that
it was illegal for them to even see these documents
or get them. So they're going to try all that.
You're going to see that coming the next few days.
They're also going to be going after cash Patel for

(14:45):
they're gonna claim he leaked stuff or he revealed stuff
too early. They're also going to go after his use
of private jets. You know, look at this he went
it's got a girlfriend in the Puerto Rico or someplace.
He went down there twice to see her and took
private jets both as well. A lot of private jet use.
But you're gonna the truth is as FBI director, he's

(15:06):
not allowed to fly commercial. That's the rule, that's the law.
He's got to fly on a private jet at all times.
So now President might still be unhappy that he's using
private jets a little too much, but so expect these
attacks to come. We'll get to Mom Donnie coming up.
He's done a couple of interesting interviews yesterday. What he's

(15:27):
going to be up to. Democrats have somebody even worse
than Mom Donnie. They're about to unleash on us. We'll
get to that coming up, and a whole lot more. Hey,
and if you use open table, we're going to warn
you about a few things coming up, and we'll take
some calls. Next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
ten is the number eight hundred three to two one

(15:48):
zero seven ten.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Let's get back to the Mark Simone show on wor.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Well, let's take some calls. Let's go to uh Rich
and Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you.

Speaker 9 (15:58):
Doing old and windy down here yesterday and today? But
it should be better by the end of the week.
You know, you brought up so many points. I don't
even know where to begin. But we'll start with Jeffries.
You know, when this country was founded, it was the
best and the brightest became our politicians. They did a
couple of terms and got the got the heck out
guys like Jeffries and Schumer and uh what's the name

(16:22):
from California who's just passed away?

Speaker 5 (16:24):
Uh?

Speaker 10 (16:25):
What you know these people?

Speaker 9 (16:29):
If you don't, if this isn't the perfect case for
to get rid of all, to get term limits, to
get rid of.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
All, well that's the argument, and that was the original idea.
Citizen legislatures comes sir for a while. Go back. You're right,
you professional politicians, you get hacks that can't make it
in the private sector. But how are you gonna get
Only Congress can vote for term limits, so they're not
going to vote for they're not going to term limit
themselves out this. Yeah, but you're right, there's got to
be a way to do it. Let's go to uh

(16:56):
Mara in Nevada. Mara, how you doing so good?

Speaker 11 (16:59):
I'm talking to you chiw Vincent, Mark, I have two things,
Vincent suggested Sal from Patsy's as a junior honorary member
of the fan club. Of course, Vincent's honorary. That means
your seventy. You're in your seventies, So Salas.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
I understand. But Sal's a big guy, big restaurant, tourist,
busy and the time for your fan club. But what's
the second?

Speaker 11 (17:21):
Wait, Mark, here's why I called yeah, imagine an ugly,
ugly thing is going to happen. July fourth, twenty twenty
Sixth's the anniversary of our beloved with the United States
and my beloved New York City, which was the first capital,
which George Washington was inaugurate Fornce's tavern. George Washington said

(17:45):
goodbye to the Yeah, Mark.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Mara, we got it's only a two hour show. Yeah, yeah,
all right, Well, yeah, twenty twenty six is two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary. All kinds of celebrations planned. Let's go
to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing?

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Good morning?

Speaker 12 (18:01):
Mark, Yes, it's amazing how how clever the Democrats are.
You know, they have this thing that with Trump that
they keep dredging up every you know, they have five
or six items and then it's in a cycle. So
you know, for the next week or so, it's going
to be the.

Speaker 13 (18:16):
Epstein stuff again, as you pointed out, and then it'll
go back to Ice being Nazis again. And the Republicans
are always left with this Mondani election. You would think
you would hear something to defect. We're going to bring
him into court for every single thing like they do
to Trump that he tries to pass. No, Republicans are

(18:36):
going to be like, oh, well, you're going to try
to get along with them and see make do when
them only if. And it's just amazing the two different
parties the way they Yeah, you're.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Right, but the Republican argument is you don't want to
behave like Democrats, you don't want to get like that.

Speaker 13 (18:52):
Yeah, and because you would win.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
The I mean the argument you can't remember most of
these said protesters that don't work, they've nothing to do,
they're one hundred years old or they're twenty, they're just
not doing it. You know, Republicans all go to work
every day. They're all busy, they don't have time. And remember,
for Democrats, politics is a cult, a religion. It's for Republicans,
they're busy with work and family and everything else.

Speaker 13 (19:17):
I'd like to see them be a little bit more aggressive.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
All right, Now, you're not wrong, You're not wrong. Let's
go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how you doing?

Speaker 13 (19:25):
How you doing?

Speaker 14 (19:26):
Mark?

Speaker 15 (19:26):
I got a real healthcare boblem.

Speaker 5 (19:29):
The other day.

Speaker 15 (19:30):
I had a heart attack.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
And I, oh, I hope you're okay.

Speaker 15 (19:35):
Well, the only insurance I had was for my cat
being and had that insurance. And when I went into
the hospital, I said, with this addition symptoms you have
and this insurance, we're going to have to put you down.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
What there's something most important thing. Are you all right now?
Are you okay?

Speaker 13 (19:58):
Yes?

Speaker 15 (19:58):
Sure, I am fine.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
I'm just You're gonna.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Take care of yourself now. You're gonna eat better, sleep more,
no smoking, no drinking.

Speaker 13 (20:06):
You didn't think that was funny at all to bubbly down.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Oh it was a joke, all right. Anyway, thanks for calling.
Let's go to Shelley and Long Island. Shelley, how you doing?

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (20:18):
Hey, Mark, love the show. About the Stephonic and Bruce
Blakeman going against each other. Possibly, don't you think that
at least Stephonic would be better to go up against
Tocal woman to woman. We really need to win New York.
We don't need these two in fighting.

Speaker 14 (20:37):
And my second.

Speaker 16 (20:38):
Question is Trump. Is Trump aware of the ismification going
on across our nation?

Speaker 4 (20:44):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, of course he is. Yeah, Now this can be
an interesting fight Stephanic Bruce Blakeman. The convention is I
think in February, the convention, they decide who they're gonna
go with. Yes, Stephonic would be great. She's great attacking Hokel.
You saw her battle Hocal in those congressional hearings. She's

(21:05):
really good at taking on Hokel. Blakeman would be the
better governor obviously, I mean, because he's you know, she's
a legislator. He's a real, you know, management guy. He
runs Nassau County. He's been the governor of Nassau County
for four years and been brilliant at it. So obviously
Blakeman would do better downstate. Stefan would do better upstate.
And it's a good problem to have two great candidates.

(21:27):
It's a great problem if I'd go with Blakeman. But
it's having these two great candidates having a battle it out.
Good situation to be in. So you know one thing,
you know you're gonna have a good, good candidate this
time around for governor. Hey, when we come back, Alan's
Wye Bell, the great producer, writer, a comedian will be
with us, and you'll get a lot of television stuff
to talk about. Primetime television it's pretty much fading away.

(21:51):
It's uh, well, we'll get into why why streaming is
just killing it and a whole lot. Hey, he's also
working on a Rodney Dangerfield movie. We'll get to that
coming up next on seven to ten w R.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Seven wors Mark Simone Show continues.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Now Well, Alan's y Bell, the great writer, producer, comedian,
best selling author. Get is a book his life story.
It's very funny, a lot of great stories. It's called Laughlines.
You can get it on Amazon. Laugh Lines. And it's
great to come back with us. Alan's y Bell. How
you doing.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
I'm great. How are you Mark?

Speaker 2 (22:27):
I'm good.

Speaker 9 (22:28):
Hey.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
First I want to ask you about the Network TV.
Primetime Network TV used to be the biggest sitcoms and
dramas it's all going away. You know. Even Blue Blood's
highest rate to get canceled because it costs too much
money to do car chases, and it's like making a
movie every week, and they replace it, you know, they
replace it with game shows and stuff.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
Well, game shows are very very cheap to produce, right, yeah,
and very few car chases, you know in a game show. Okay, now,
family feud. I never saw a card chase. Yeah, you know,
it's what it is is. Yeah, you've got escalating a
production course you have. As a series gets older and older,

(23:10):
it's cast gets more money and more money, and after
a while, I guess the networks look at it and go, okay,
what kind of return are we getting on these investments?
And it's a shame because a lot of good shows
get canceled for that reason.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, years ago, Prime Time you got the thirty million viewers,
you could pay for everything. But now if you're going
to get two million viewers, you can't have a twenty
five cars in a chase scene and four thousand trailers.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
You know what it is. The pie is split into
so many pieces now, so many sessions. You know, you
would go back with showing our age, but there was
a time where it was only ABC, CBS, and NBC,
and then Fox came along. In the late eighties, we
had four networks. Now cable streaming all the other platforms.

(23:57):
Everybody is fighting for a little piece of that same pie,
meaning the viewing audience. Plus you know, it's no longer
a communal gathering to watch the show. It used to
be everybody was around the TV eight o'clock on Sunday
nights because then Sullivan was on, and then you changed
the channel, which was a big to do. At nine o'clock,

(24:19):
Bonanza came on on NBC. But now you know your
DV are it and you watch it at your leisure,
or you'd get a family. I know there are times
where I'll discover that my wife and I, who are
in different rooms. Let's say in our house we're watching
the same show at the same time. We shouldn't we
be next to each other.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
No, yeah, not a good idea. But so last night,
all of a sudden, they had the Golden Girls thirtieth
anniversary or whatever it was, it special where they brought
them all bay and then the next month, later this month,
the're gonna have Everybody Loves Raymond thirtieth anniversary. Is this
the new cheap skate form of programming for network TV?

Speaker 5 (24:59):
Well, you know, one thing, I think it's a combination
of a lot of things. You get you know, it's
fun for the audience to see who they were, remember
who they were, because you're still alive and young, younger
in reruns, right, this is what they look like now
we all age thirty years. It's fun to see them
together again. And you know something, I don't know the

(25:19):
cost of those things, but it seems to me that
everybody's happy to do it. You know, years ago there
was a Murphy Brown one, and you know, if you
go down a list, it's been a lot of reunion shows,
so you know, I guess they're here to stay.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Also, if you were in the cast of the show,
you know, the big star might have had a piece
of the show, made a fortune or still a big star.
But if you were just in the cast, this is
your big chance to get back on television. Already forgot
about the cast?

Speaker 5 (25:47):
Well that's absolutely true. You're in front of a camera,
you're in front of an audience, and you go, oh wow,
she's still alive. Who knew?

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Hey tell us about your working on this ride dangerous project.
I can't wait to see this because it's everybody loves
this guy. Tell us what's going on with that?

Speaker 5 (26:06):
Well, we had a reading of the first act a
couple of weeks ago. It went very well.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Broadway show, right, a Broadway play, This would be a
Broadway show.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
And I got this terrific director named Maritz I can't
pronounce his last name, Van, then s and a bunch
of continents.

Speaker 17 (26:24):
Okay, guy, great director. And now it's going to be
our turn to go in and dig a little deeper
and finish the story that I've been working on. So
it's really exciting.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
You know.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
I love the theater. I've done it a number of
times off Broadway and on Broadway with Billy Crystal's show
Seven hundred Sundays, and Martin Short had a show that
I co wrote. So, you know, something being you know,
having come from live TV, you know, with an audience
and your rights something in the morning and it's on

(27:01):
TV at night. This is the closest you get to
it because movies take forever and you're usually doing the
same same scene over and over again for the crew, okay,
And so to have an audience response to something that
you wrote is no better feeling for a writer.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yeah, this is not a musical, is it.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
You can sing while you're sitting in your teeth, Mark,
But no, nobody on stage will be seeing.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Good, good good. I don't want that.

Speaker 5 (27:28):
And well no, no, no, no, no, there won't be
any no.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Things oh good, oh good, it'll be now. Rodney Dangerfield
great comedian, funny guy, but there was like a dark
side to him. Will we see some of that?

Speaker 9 (27:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (27:44):
I think you have to. I think you know, you
have a main character that had demons and had vices,
and there are reasons for it, and but what the
reason he was such a hero is that he took
those demons, and he took those vices and the things
that he felt inferior about and he made that into

(28:05):
his act. I don't get no respect, Okay, it was
he looked at head on, you know what I mean.
So that came from a hurtful place, but at the
same time it was his way of getting a laugh,
getting acceptance from audiences, you know, and taking control. So

(28:26):
did there's a great degree of heroism there.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah. Now, obviously casting is crucial and it'd be great
to star in this great Broadway show, this play, but
kind of unflattering if you're going to get cast as
Rodney Dansfield. Somebody says, why you look just like.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
You know.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
We've had some talks about it, but right now, as
the writer, I'm just writing it for Rodney and Rodney's voice.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
Once it's done and we're happy with the script, or
the producers are happy with the script, then it's going
to be time to talk turkey. Okay, who can play him? Okay?
And then you know, there's I'm sure that there'll be
a lot of suggestions. I'm sure there will be a
lot of disagreements, and you know, in some stars are
so big that you know they don't know. Addition, you

(29:18):
got to guess whether or not so and so can
do it.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
You know.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
It's but that's down the road. So right now I'm
pretending like Rodney's still alive and he's on stage delivering
what I'm writing.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Now. The only other problem Rodney had incredible delivery for
those one liners. And I don't care how good an
actor you are, you're not gonna have that comic delivery.
That's gonna be a problem, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (29:40):
Well, you know something, a lot of people impersonate him.
You're right, Rodney did have that great delivery and the timing.
You know, I remember when I wrote for him, this
is before Saturday Night Live, so this is fifty one,
fifty two years ago.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
Now.

Speaker 5 (29:57):
He would labor over syllables, or he would take a pause,
or he would you know, look off stage. It was
all calculated. What seemed like an had lived, what seemed like,
in the moment a sort of reaction that he would have.
Those were very, very well rehearsed. It was like jazz,

(30:18):
you know what I mean. He was free flowing, but
at the same time he knew but he knew where
he was going.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, he was a real craftsman. He would record every
show's little cassette recorder and he had those index cards.
Absolutely well, right faster, we want to see this. This
is going to be a big I guarantee this will
be a huge, huge blockbuster hit.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
Well, I sure, hope. So I just want to get
these words do on paper so we can take the
next step. But thank you for your confidence.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
I know.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Is there is there any idea, any date, any idea
when to lappen?

Speaker 14 (30:50):
No?

Speaker 5 (30:50):
No, no, I think that will happen once everyone satisfied
with the script and then to look at the calendar,
to look at you know. The biggest thing also was
one or theaters availab you know, so those will be
in the hands of people like producers and agents and
whatever who know that end.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Is the business.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
Well, Allen's white Belt. Great talking to everybody. Get his

(32:30):
ten wor the.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Mark Simone Show on seven to ten.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Well, you know what they get to this hour. We'll
get to everybody Loves Raymond. In a second, we'll get
to Epstein, We'll get to Mom Donnie. Just want to
warn everybody there's a horrible, horrible guy who's unleashing a
political campaign. He wants to run for Jerry Nadler's house seat.
It's Jack Schlossberg. He's the only grandson of John F. Kennedy.

(33:03):
He is the son of Caroline Kennedy. He's just an
awful awful kid with He had an Instagram account and
a TikTok where he just said the most disgusting, awful things.
He's to the left of Mom Donnie. He's just a horrible, horrible,
awful guy. Here's a veteran political strategist, Hank Schinkoff says,

(33:27):
the whole idea of his campaign is ridiculous. He has
absolutely no qualifications, which makes him perfect to run as
a Democrat. But he's imitating John F. Kennedy Junior by
dressing like him, photographs of him riding his bike around Manhattan,
like just like jfk Jr. And jfk Jr. Was a

(33:48):
friend of mine. He was a wonderful guy, a wonderful guy.
His sister I didn't know, but she always seemed unpleasant
whenever you were around her. And her husband was a
terrible guy, just awful. And this is the son of
Caroline and what's the husband's name, Ed Schlosberg, something like that.

(34:11):
So again, he's just awful. If you go back and
check his early Instagram YouTube TikTok saying awful, terrible thing,
He's just an awful guy. He's how old is see?
I think he's a young guy. In his twenties. So
he's been inspired by Mom Donnie. He wants to run
for Jerry Nadler's old seat. Now I'm saying how awful

(34:32):
he is. Nadler was about as low as you can
sink as a human being. So it's not like it's
not like seats getting any worse. But here's Schlosberg, his
big announcement, two.

Speaker 18 (34:43):
And fifty years after America was founded, and our country
is at a turning point. It's a crisis at every level,
a cost of living crisis sponsored by the Big beautiful Bill,
historic cuts to social programs, working families rely on healthcare, education.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
That's pretty bad. But you got to watch the early
Instagram TikTok stuff he did. It's just him, yell, it's
the real Himmy, this is him being formal, and he
still sounds terrible. This guy is like he's Mom Donnie
with half the IQ.

Speaker 18 (35:14):
We deserve better and we can do better. And it
starts with the Democratic Party winning back control of the
House of Representatives. With control of Congress, there's nothing we
can't do without it. We're helpless to a third team.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
He didn't encounter great I mean, so now the problem
is whoever runs against him can go back and get
that old Instagram stuff, those videos he did where he
just says all kinds of awful things and just run
them against him. However, it's Nadler's district. It was jerry mandred,
so no Republican has a shot, but hopefully Democrats will
keep him away from the nomination.

Speaker 18 (35:47):
My name is Jack Flossberg, and I'm running for Congress
to represent my home New York's twelfth congressional district where
I was born and raised, where I took the bus
to school every single day from one side the district
to the other.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Okay, thank you. You can imagine that guy that talks
like that, right, Well, he's being formal. You got to
go back and watch his TikTok on Instagram where he's
just raging like a like a nut. Hey mom. Donnie's
been doing a few interviews, one yesterday where he sounded
more definite about keeping Jessica tish. You know, he said

(36:26):
the earlier interviews he was open to it, but this
was more like, that's my plan. My plan is to sew.
But we'll see what she wants to do. If he's
going to try to take control of her or, you know,
push her to do things she doesn't want. She'll leave
in a second. She doesn't need to stay there, So
we'll see. We'll see what happens with that he also
had with him. Now, this is a TV interview with

(36:48):
Channel four. He's being interviewed and he's going to sit
right there and do the interview. But next to him
is Dean fullahand keep an eye on this guy. This
is his first deputy mayor, and it was interesting that
he had him sit with him at the interview. So
this guy's going to play a big role. Now, this
is not the guy you want running city hall either,
because he's a crazy left winger. But he was Deblasio's

(37:10):
first deputy mayor for many years. So as we keep
telling you, this could be just a repeat of Deblasio,
which wasn't great. Obviously was terrible. New York declined under Deblasio,
but we got through it. We got through eight years
at de Blasio. So he's brought in this guy full
of Hand and had him right next to him at
the interview. And I noticed tonight, fool of Hand's doing

(37:32):
his own interview. New York One. Nobody sees New York one.
But it's interesting that he would let ful of Hand
do all these interviews. So this guy's going to have
a lot of cloud. Now the bad news of this
fool of hand Dean full of Hand, however you say
his name, He's got a lot of clout in Albany.
Nobody better connected plugged into the legislature of the Assembly.

(37:54):
So if you need to get stuff passed, this is
a guy that can get stuff done up there. Means
Mom Donnie would have some influence up there with him. Now,
the other interesting thing is Mam Donnie, we actually asked
about Trump. Mam Donnie said he will reach out to Trump.
He said it's a crucial relationship. This is quite a

(38:15):
concession on his part. Remember before the election, I'll fight Trump,
I'll battle Trump, I would never talk to Well, now
the election's over, he says it's a crucial relationship. I
will reach out to him. So when they reports it,
well you'll talk to Trump. Well, I'll reach out to
the White House. Now what does all that mean. Well,
if he tries to talk to Trump, I don't think

(38:36):
Trump would talk to him. Usually the way this stuff goes,
he'll reach out to the White House and get a meeting,
but the meeting will be with someone else first, probably
Susie Wilds will meet with him chief of staff. She'll
have the meeting with him, and then they'll see how
that goes, and then that will lead to probably not
a meeting with Trump, because neither of them would want

(38:56):
that photograph out. But if it goes well with Susie
wild it will lead to a phone call with Trump
and they'll talk and see if they can listen. They're
not going to be friends, but they'll see if they
can come out to some kind of an arrangement, some
kind of relationship where they could at least be civil
with each other. He was asked about parades and things.

(39:17):
You know, he didn't show up for the Veteran's Day Parade.
Is he going to go to parades? You got to
remember he certainly you're not gonna see it at the Israeli
Day Parade. There's a lot of parades you won't see
this guy yet, And he was asked about it.

Speaker 5 (39:28):
There are many parades that I would not be attending
because I'd be focusing on the work of leading the city.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Yeah, he's focused. Focused. You want to see some focus
watch this guy, But the parades are on Sunday. You
don't have to focus on Sunday. And what he's really
saying is I hate these people. I'm not going to
their parade. Hey, Mikey Cheryl who won the governor's race.
There's a lot of people analyzing how she did it.
People thought she Arelly was a great candidate. He was Okay,

(39:55):
he wasn't a great candidate. The truth of the matter,
she had a lot more charm than he did, despite
her lying, despite her insider trading, despite her Navy scandal,
despite her her horrible positions on things, her terrible positions,
despite her bad record. Still, you know, even when she
was lying and conning it, she still had more charm

(40:17):
than Shlosburg. He was kind of a charmless guy. I'm
sure he's a nice guy. He just didn't have the
personality you need. But Politico and others doing these examinations
of how she won, her incredible strategy with social media,
her staying on message, her media strategy. Now here's what's
going to happen twenty twenty eight looks at this point

(40:41):
like Gavin Newsom is way out in front of it
right now. He's the nominee in twenty twenty eight. Of
course a lot can happen. It's a couple of years away,
so a lot could happen. But right now it's Gavin
Newsom and Mikey Cheryl wants to be the VP candidate.
Newsom Cheryl California, New Jersey West East Coast ticket. That's

(41:01):
what they're looking at. Newsom way out in front. Now,
this is what they call the shadow primary. It doesn't
mean much now now you go back in a lot
of campaigns, there was one guy that was way out
in front, the obvious one, but that was so early
that by the time it got to that election year
somebody else rose up. But one thing about being the

(41:21):
shadow primary winner is you can raise a lot of money.
So Newsom will spend a lot of time raising money
and look for mike Y Cheryl to get involved with
Newsom somehow. She wants to be the VP candidate. Just
heard on the news Eric Adams said he will be traveling.
He's going to Israel and he wants to do more travel,

(41:43):
and he wants to write a book, and he wants
to do a documentary. And he said he's going to
go back to school and get his doctor a PhD.
I don't know that way he'd be a doctor. I'm
doctor eWiC. It's not going to sound good. First of all,
anytime you hear PhD, you'll lose all respect for the person.

(42:04):
It means they spent too many years in school. If
you said to somebody, Hey, the guy over there, he's
a PhD, do you say to your oh, I got
to talk to him? No, you run the other way.
Who wants to talk to him? But Adams will find
things to do. He's gonna do a lot of traveling.
He's very good at profiting off other countries, you know, Turkey, whatever,

(42:27):
So he'll be doing a lot of traveling. See what
he can pick up over there. Everybody loves Raymond. I
love that show. I still watch it every night. They
have these marathons every night. Everybody loves Raymond marathons. And
I could watch that show over and if it's absolutely timeless,
it holds up well, you know, I was trying to think,

(42:48):
why does this hold up so much better than other sitcoms? Well,
the guys that put it together, Ray Romano and Phil
what's his name Rosenthal and the other guy is the
one thing they say. They were very careful not to
put any technology in the show. They don't show him
on the phone. You never see him pick up his
phone once all they have to. But you generally don't

(43:09):
see any computers, any phones, you don't see the TV,
you don't see any of that. So and they did
that deliberately because they didn't want to look outdated. You know,
when you watch Seinfeld and he's got an answering machine
and a you know, a regular desk telephone, and you
see his computer, it's like a primitive, primitive computer. It

(43:29):
looks so outdated. But they were very careful to keep
it that way. So it looks absolutely timeless. You can
watch it over and over again. But they're going to
do this thirtieth anniversary. Sure, yeah, believe it or not.
It's thirty years since Everybody Loves Raymond started nineteen ninety six.
This special will be ninety minutes now. One reason they're
doing this is TV has run out of money. Primetime

(43:52):
TV has very few viewers. A primetime show used to
get twenty thirty million viewers. Now it's one million, two million,
So that's less revenue, that's a smaller budget. All they
can afford now are game shows and these documentaries are
cheap to do. Last night you might have seen that
Golden Girls special reunion. Well they're no longer with us,
but people talking about it. Everybody loves Raymond. Will be

(44:15):
a reunion. They rebuilt the or they found the original
set the living room in the house, and they're going
to all go back. The cast gets back together. Now.
The problem is the two of the most key players,
the mother and the father, are dead. They're no longer
so they're not going to be in it. But there'll
be a lot of clips. It'll be ninety minutes long.
They got to fill time. It's really cheap to do

(44:38):
these reunion shows. Ninety minutes will fill an hour and
a half. So they can't afford to do dramas or
sitcoms anymore. Too expensive to do. But November twenty fourth,
keep an eye out for that. Hey, you ever use
open table to make a reservation. A lot of people
use open table. You know they're spying on you. Table

(45:00):
keeps track of everything you do. So you make a reservation,
Open table, you go to the restaurant. You do this
all the time. Open table compiles data from the restaurants
what you ordered, how you behaved, if you gave the
restaurant any problems the staff, any problems where you rude,
where you're a good tipper, what did you spend? All

(45:20):
that kind of stuff goes into a big, big open
table file and then you kind of get a rating.
So when you make the reservation, the restaurant can look
you over. If you're a real problem, they can cancel
your reservation, or they can look at it. See what
kind of customer you are. Oh, he's a big drinker,
big wine drinker. Oh there's all kinds of fancy wing.

(45:42):
Well we'll see them next to the wine cellar. That
kind of stuff. It's kind of like Uber. You know,
you got a rating the uh you know, the driver.
Sometimes you get a you try to get an uber.
One person tries, Oh there are no cars available. It's
twenty minutes. Someone else tries one minute, they'll be right there.
It's because that person has a higher rating as a passenger.

(46:05):
The uber driver sees your rating. You got a five,
we'll be right there. You got a two. Let somebody
else take this one. So just remember that when you
use open table. So if you're going to go to
a restaurant, get drunk and be rude. Make the reservation
on the phone. Don't put it on an open table.
That way it won't be recorded there. So hey, we'll

(46:25):
take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three to
two one zero seven ten is number. Hey, check out
my instagram if you didn't see it, the actual Johnny
Carson desk from the Tonight Show. The actual set was
at the Paley Museum, a wonderful museum you should visit.
But I went over there and sat in the Carson desk.
The actual Johnny Carson desk pictures up on Instagram. Mark

(46:48):
Simone NYC at Instagram. Mark Simone NYC at Instagram. Also,
I'll be on Cudlow later today between four and five
on the Fox Business Network. But we'll take some calls
now next eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
Now more, Mark Simone on seventen woo.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Well, let's take some colls. Let's go to Oh, Richie Gold,
the great comedian, then Connecticut. Richie Gold, How are you good?

Speaker 4 (47:19):
Mark?

Speaker 14 (47:19):
How are you advised to taking my call? Great show
as usual? As listened to Alan Zuide, great comedy writer.
I remember him going back years when he used to
work for Saturday Night lives.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Now he's writing a music or Broadway play about Rodney Dainsfield.
You must have worked with Rodney.

Speaker 14 (47:36):
Yeah, let me tell you something cozily, how thinking minds,
comic minds parallel total.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
You know Tony Tony Bavakua, who is the owner of Dangerfields,
who's uh out there in Long Island, lives near Bill O'Reilly.
Actually Tony Bovaqua, great guy.

Speaker 14 (47:52):
Very true. So listen to this. Tony and I have
been working on a movie script talking about writing about
any Danger Fields and the birth of the Dangerfield Club.
And it has all the elements of of what happened
to the club that people that try to influence it
one way the others to talk about Rodney's history and Tony,
how they got together working the you know the small rooms. Yeah,

(48:15):
there's at the downstairs blah blah blah. So it just
shows you out was mister alan Zabel, and I said,
Tony and I are writing a movie about this. He's
doing a Broadway play and Tony and I are writing
a movie about Rodney and Tony how they came together
and developed this idea for danger seems.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Yeah, Tony was a bass player and they played together
Rodney and him in the living room. And when Rodney
opened the club, he got Tony to be the the
guy run the club, and he turned out to be
brilliant at running a club, a comedy club.

Speaker 14 (48:43):
Yeah, and you used to hang out there. I remember you, Rodney.
Everybody used to hang out at that club. It was
the in place to be and opened the nineteen sixty
nine and it ran for fifteen years straight. So you
were there during the hey day. I remember Mark.

the world. Don't you Don't you have the radio station

Speaker 4 (49:56):

Speaker 10 (49:56):
In fact, I even said to Thanks Mark, I said
to John, you want to buy a radio station. He
wanted to know how many watts?

Speaker 14 (50:02):
And you know that kind of thing. So maybe he's interested.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
That's a good station. W g H, very good station.
What's the guy there, Bob.

Speaker 10 (50:08):
We've had you, We've had you there, I've been I guess.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Who's that nice guy that works there? Bob Small?

Speaker 2 (50:19):
All right, well, thanks for calling great stuff. Let's go
to uh, let's go to Aaron in Indianapolis, erin how
you doing.

Speaker 13 (50:28):
Good morning, Mark.

Speaker 5 (50:29):
Speaking of Rodney Dangerfield, I have the pleasure of seeing
him do a couple of shows in Indianapolis back in
this day, and oh those were just awesome shows.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
And you didn't have to wander backstage, did you no?

Speaker 5 (50:43):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (50:44):
Good good, Because when Rodney was on the road, things
were going on back there. You wouldn't want to know about.
Rodney had quite a private life going on there.

Speaker 5 (50:53):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
I'm editing myself. I'm well one. We'll tell stories about Rodney,
but uh not not right now. Let's go to uh
Vincent and Brooklyn Vincent, how you doing.

Speaker 4 (51:07):
Good morning, Mack balk. You're cracking me up as usual.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
I'll tell you what Rodney I don't want to. He
was playing a big place in Massachusetts and he told
the agent, I need a bed in the dressing room.
And guy, my god, the guy arrange for a bed.
But the agent called him. He said, listen, there's a
problem that it's right next to the kitchen. It's very noisy.
I don't know if you're gonna be able to sleep
things sleep sleep.

Speaker 4 (51:31):
He's gonna do. Ted Kennedy will added, Chris Dodd. You
know what that means? Yes, yes, okay, Mack. Last week
a lot of these crazy Democrats were making the New
Jersey election and Virginia election a rebuttal of Trump's policies.
It was never such thing. Uh mclaroney, Jack Chatterrelly, could

(51:55):
O'Ryan a much better campaign? He was trying to stick
too many points into like fifteen seconds. None of these candidates,
even in New York, really explain why things are very high,
why rent is high, why things are seemingly unaffordable, and

(52:18):
win some seas. Although a good candidate, she was not
a Glen Youngkin. When Glen Youngkin would go on stage,
literally he reminded me in many ways like Johnny Cossady,
he would own the stage. And that's probably because the
guy is a businessman. He's used to being around people,

(52:40):
high powered people selling his products and everything. Mark, yesterday
we spoke about Curtis saying he's gonna stay in the fight.
He's gonna he's in it to win it. Mark, Curtis
has to say that if Curtis doesn't stay in the
fight with the Guardian Angels, he will be irrelevant. He's

(53:02):
almost irrelevant.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
Curtis is never irrelevant. Curtis has been a fixture for
thirty years.

Speaker 4 (53:09):
No, I'm not. I don't mean in the fact that
people are gonna forget who he is. But right now
that's the only thing he's got.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
You know, I should say it, but I hate to said,
but when a guy like Mamdani comes into office, it's
good for Curtis because more crime, he can be more
of a no, it's good for us. It's like another pandemic.
You know, we got our highest ratings. When pandemic people
are scared, they turn to the radio for exactly.

Speaker 4 (53:33):
He could be like, he could be like a pitbull.
He could all be nipping at his ankles all the time.
And that's where it's really good. But you know, the
first time got a few seconds right. The first time
the Democrats won Virginia, they would claim that Virginia is
the southernmost northern state and that when a Republican winner,

(53:57):
they would say it's the southernmost.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
That's a good point, all right, Vincent, thanks for calling,
great call. We got to take a break for the news,
get caught up on everything, and then when we come
back and Culter will be with us next on seven
to ten.

Speaker 4 (54:10):
W R.

Speaker 19 (54:13):
Mark Simone.

Speaker 4 (54:16):
R Well and.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Culture, the best selling author the great Columnists. Make sure
you follow her on Twitter, Hey, even better substack where
you can see she's got interviews and podcasts and all
sorts of stuff and culture dot substack dot com. And Culter, how.

Speaker 19 (54:34):
You doing fantastic? How are you Mark Simone?

Speaker 2 (54:37):
I'm good, I'm good. Hey, let me see this. You know,
you see Berkeley, this is a terrible college. There's a
turning point event there. Yesterday Antifa gets violent, goes crazy.
University didn't have enough protection. Uh, everybody says when it's
a liberal speaker, to make sure there's plenty of security.
But not for this one. Justice Department now taking a

(54:59):
look at going after them. You speak at all these colleges,
what is wrong with them?

Speaker 19 (55:05):
Well, you remember, they should have sent the nationally they
Trump should have sent the National Guard when Berkeley shut
down my speech, and I think I think it was
twenty seventeen. I went back the next year, but I
had the Proud Boys protecting me. That was November twenty nineteen,
and several thousand Antifa showed up. Yeah, don't expect local

(55:32):
law enforcement. I've directed not to protect or the campus
security to protect you. Trump should have done this long ago.
We should have done it when it started. Listened to
Senator Tom Cotton, this is these these are state universities.
That's why we have civil rights laws because states, certain

(55:52):
states back then, the Democrat states of the Old Confederacy,
weren't enforcing the rights of black Americans. That's why we
have the ability of the federal government. Well, even from
the beginning of our country, the very reason we have
a constitution and a strong president was to put down
mob actions, criminal behavior in our country. Surprisingly enough, the

(56:17):
founding fathers were not thinking about, you know, what can
we do to help Syria or Ukraine? Was to protect
our country. And yeah, drump should have been doing this
from the beginning, and it wouldn't keep happening. I'm glad
he's sending in National Guard to protect ICE agents. But
when this happens on college campuses, particularly college campuses that

(56:38):
are state institutions, though according to Supreme Court rulings, even
private colleges have to have to but they well, all
everybody has to obey federal law, but federal troops could
go in and enforce things against private university because of
all the money they've taken student aid and research money.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
Well, the good news is Antifa has now been a
actually declared a terrorist group. This Department of Justice letters
are going after UC Berkeley for allowing terrorism on the campus.
And this will allow the Department Justice to really step
in and do something.

Speaker 19 (57:12):
But well, they ought to. This is something I mean,
this is why a lot of people like me support
this idea of America first. We're constantly solving the rest
of the world's problems. We're constantly getting Americans and the
news media, oh, focus on what's going on in Europe now,
and what's going on in the Middle East and what's

(57:34):
going on in the Balkans. Can we please pay attention
to what's going on to Americans because our country is
in trouble and this is what we expected Trump to do.
Put our interests first.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Yes, the shutdown Democrats what a victory? Huh? Could you
tell me what they achieved with the shutdown?

Speaker 19 (57:52):
Yet it did not work well and the argument they're
making and Republicans are going to have to learn to
navigate this. Although sorry, let's pause for a moment to
celebrate what knuckleheads the Democrats look like. No one has
ever want to shut down, so I don't know why
they would think they could win this one. But they're thinking, oh,

(58:13):
because they want to keep subsidizing Americans healthcare. I've always
thought Republicans are too afraid of this issue. Their voters
are not made up of welfare recipients. There may be
some Trump voters who have had your relive in public
assistance for a time or two. But this permanent underclass,

(58:35):
just generation after generation after generation living on welfare, having
other Americans pay for them, pay for their food, pay
for their health care. I think senators like Josh Holly
are making a big mistake acting like, oh yeah, this
is the Trump base. No, you're insulting the Trump base.
It isn't true. And I think most Americans are sick

(58:57):
of paying for other people's health care food. The Snap
benefits issue, man, Thank god for Twitter. It has been
all over Twitter showing you know, obviously quite able bodied
people and a lot of the men threatening to go
loose and rob stores if they don't get their Snap
benefits anymore. I'm thinking, if they have that much, I

(59:19):
mean you can see them time. They have enough, plenty
of energy. It look like strong young men. Surely they
could get a job. Ditto for the women. If anything
could stand to lose a few pounds and healthcare. Nobody
cared about me losing my healthcare under Obamacare. One thing
you will notice is a difference between Republicans and Democrats.

(59:40):
When Republicans save people, solve an issue, and do solve
an issue, that issue goes away forever. They actually do
solve it. For example, Ronald Reagan ending the Cold War,
defeating the Soviet Union, puff gone, Soviet Union is no more.
Rudy Giuliani solving crime not only in New York City

(01:00:00):
but basically across America. Well, then Republicans lose that as
an issue to run on. We start running on it again. Now,
cut taxes. Reagan did it. They never went back up
to close to the level they were before he came in.
When Democrats solve a problem like healthcare or poor people,
they just make the problem so much bigger and it

(01:00:22):
just it was always amazing to me watching the Democratic primaries,
you know, every four years since Obama, and their big
subject is Americans can't get health care. It's a disaster. Yeah, okay,
you guys did Obamacare would fix this, and you made
it worse. So we can't get back to them. That's
the one premise we need to start with. And then

(01:00:43):
Republicans have to figure out how to do this in
a fair way and stop giving better health care to
illegal aliens and welfare recipients than hardworking Americans.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
They can't claim Obamacare's working anymore, because if it was,
it wouldn't be an issue right now. We wouldn't have
better shutdown over it. We wouldn't be talking about it
was working so.

Speaker 19 (01:01:01):
Right, everyone just pretends that they for they don't remember Obamacare.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
Happy do we lose her? Oh there you are? You're
still there?

Speaker 12 (01:01:11):
Right?

Speaker 19 (01:01:12):
Yeah, like something happened, we lost.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
You for a second. Hey we only got a minute left.
Friday's the final day of MSNBC. It then becomes it
then becomes ms now from a tiny studio that got
kicked out of them? What do you think will they survive?

Speaker 19 (01:01:28):
They're kidding, I can't see a bit repetitive. I'm going
to mention that to you, Mark, it's a little tough
even for those of us who enjoy laughing at liberals.
I don't think ms I was kind of noticing recently,
like with a shutdown, MSNBC is not good for the Democrats.
We really should hope that it continues. They they represent

(01:01:49):
the far progressive left. They are you know, tickled pink
over Zorhan Mom, Donny. I think they are taking the
Democratic Party in a direction that is not good for
the Democrats, but is good for Republicans. So maybe we
should try to get MSNBC a little more a little
more visibility.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
Oh very good, Yeah, very good insight into that. Well,
everybody check out and Culture on Twitter. Make sure you
follow on Twitter. But even better at substacks. She's got
columns and videos and interviews and podcasts and all sorts
of stuff. Go to andculter dot substack dot com and

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
Hosts in an instead.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
Now back to the Marximo Show on WOR.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
Well the House. You would vote later today on the shutdown.
That could be the end of it by tonight, by
six seven o'clock tonight, that may have the vote. And
you know the problem is getting everybody there. They have
to vote in person, which means they all are somewhere else.
They all have to fly back to DC. And the
shutdown caused air traffic delays. So because of their own shutdown.

(01:03:19):
It's tough for them to get there to end the
shutdown with the vote, but they should get it done
tonight and then well that won't be the end of it.
They'll have to do this again in January. But I
think Democrats will learn their lesson not to go through
this again. Hey, we're out of time. I'll be on
Cudlow this afternoon between four and five, somewhere in the

(01:03:43):
middle of the show there. Also check out my instagram
