Speaker 1 (00:01):
Now or Presents No Mark Simon Shaw. Hey, it's Friday.
We got a lot to get too. Now they're gonna
be it'll be cold today and then a little warmer tomorrow.
But Saturday night, the very first snow of the year.
It's not going to be much and maybe just an
inch or so, but you'll actually see some snow when
(00:24):
you wake up on Sunday morning, just a little, just
a little, and then it gets warm again. So don't worry.
It's not gonna be a bad winter. We got lots
of stuff to talk about. Now. You got to remember,
go easy on your crazy Democratic friends. I know they
sound crazy, they're so angry. What the hell are they
so angry about? But you got to remember they're living
(00:47):
in this little bubble, in this echo chamber where they're
just fed all kinds of stuff. And now they watch
CNN and MS whatever the hell it's called now and
New York Times, and they're not exposed. They don't have
access to a lot of information. They just spoon fed
little bits and pieces of a story to create a
(01:09):
certain narrative. For instance, they'll tell you right now that
President Trump, if you're watching these shows all day and
all you know is President Trump is very, very sick.
He has tremendous medical problems. He's falling asleep every second,
and his popularity is just sinking in the polls. He
is plungings. So they're running around thinking all of this stuff,
(01:33):
which is fine. Let him think whatever they want to think.
You know, they decide whatever they want to decide, and
that's it. They believe it. So the fact of the
matter is there's nothing wrong with him. Medically, he's fine.
He just had a very very very detailed physical He's
absolutely fine. You know, he's seventy eight, seventy nine years old.
You can always have little things. He's got some swelling
(01:54):
in his ankles, he's got something on his hand. This
is almost nothing. This is minor medical stuff at the
age of seventy nine. He's not falling asleep. There are
people around him all day and night. The guy goes,
you know, eighteen nineteen hours a day. Then even when
he's home, doesn't sleep. He's tweeting and texting and doing
all sorts of stuff, making phone calls all night. I know,
(02:16):
at one time at the cabinet meeting, looked like he
fell asleep. It looked like his eyes were closed, and
they show you those pictures of his eyes are closed. Well,
go back and watch the video. It was Marco Rubio
talking and Pete Heggsath talking. But watch his eyes are closed,
his head is down. But at one point Exit makes
a joke. Watch Trump, he reacts. You can see him
(02:38):
laugh at the joke, and you can see his face.
He's reacting to everything that's being said. So his eyes
are closed, but he's he's not asleep during the cabinet meeting.
Now with Joe Biden. You so I'm actually asleep at times.
So now the other thing I'll convince you is he's
so far down in the polls on the economy, everything
that there's no chance in the midterms for Trump or
(02:59):
for the Republicans. They did this to Reagan, by the way,
Reagan's first term, they said he they kept broadcasting this,
putting this in the news every day. He's so fired
down in the polls, and they try to do everything
they could to hurt him. And in fact, believe it
or not, Reagan had a run for reelection, believe it
or not, as the year before the reelection, Reagan was
(03:23):
trailing Mondale in the polls and he was also trailing
John Glenn in the polls, so Reagan was in third. Now.
Of course, the following year, Reagan won the biggest landslide ever.
He won forty nine states. It was the biggest landslide ever.
He could have won all fifty if he wanted to,
but he told campaign manager Ed Rollins give up Minnesota,
(03:45):
let Mondale win Minnesota because it didn't want to humiliate him.
So it was the biggest landslide ever, even though at
this point the polls were off. So don't pay any
attention to all these polls. It means absolutely nothing. Also,
the big beautiful bill that was past has not started yet.
It kicks in in January. And people are telling me that,
(04:05):
you know, when this bill kicks in in January, all
of a sudden, you're going to be getting tax cuts
and tax breaks. You're gonna be paying a lot less tax,
so you'll see more in your paycheck. But I'm being
told by people in DC that the Americans are going
to be startled by the change in their paychecks. It's
going to be big. You're going to see a big,
big change in paychecks starting in January. So everything will
(04:29):
start turning around then. Now, when it comes to the polls,
don't go by one they're talking about today, the AP poll.
There's no organization more partisan, corrupt, slanted, biased than AP.
Don't trust them for a second. We'll have the best
polster in the world on the show later we'll get
(04:50):
the real numbers coming up. So and by the way,
when you look at the polling, President Trump pulls very
very well, very good poll numbers. If you isolate issues
and just do the economy, that pole is low. But
not Trump himself. They forget to tell you that part.
But they just make up a whole scenario for their audience.
(05:11):
They drill it in their heads all they're all coordinated NBC, ABC, CBS,
New York Times, CNN, MS, whatever the hell it is,
and they just keep pushing that narrative and all your
Democratic friends run around thinking this. I'll give you a
good example. The oil tankers. They never ever tell anybody
in the audience what the deal is with the oil tankers.
(05:33):
All they show is the video of the Navy seals
repelling down from the helicopter seizing an oil What the
hell they're just seizing an oil tanker from another country?
Why would they do such as they never tell the
audience anything. It's an illegal tanker. There's a warrant out
for that tanker. It has been used to ship Iranian oil,
violating all the sanctions, but they never tell you that.
(05:56):
If you're watching Rachel Maddow, you know all these fake news.
They try to look very serious. They put it out
of a background that looks like it's some sort of
news show, and she's got glasses and she looks very professorial,
but she doesn't know what the hell he's talking about,
and she's never telling you the actual story.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
For instance, Trump really doesn't seem to have any idea
why he's going to war in Venezuela, nor does he
seem to be in charge of any of the decisions
that are leading us to this war. And so we
also have to worry about who's actually running the government
right now and who is actually driving us toward this
regime change war that the President doesn't seem to be
at the helm of. We don't know who is, and
(06:36):
we don't know why.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So if you're the viewer, you think, wow, he's just nuts.
He just sees the tanker. He doesn't know why. As
she said, he doesn't even know why. He doesn't know why.
He just I don't know where he decided to seize
the tanker. Oh, none of this is true. Again, there
was a warrant out for that tanker. He'd been violating sanctions.
Tankers are sees. It's a normal thing. We've been doing
(06:58):
it for years if you violate the sanction. Biden got
very sloppy about it and stopped. But we do seize tankers.
It's perfectly normal. It wasn't out of the ordinary. Here's
a government guy who's the expert in this.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
The US doesn't bluff when it comes to sanctions enforcement.
This wasn't just a tanker seizure. It was a warning
shot to every single dictator who thinks they can outsmart
US law enforcement. And we've got to let President Trump
ramp up the heat on Maduro, who is charged with
flooding our streets with fentanyl and killing our fellow Americans.
So this was lawful enforcement action. It was executed under
(07:31):
a federal seizure warrant against a vessel that's been involved
in transporting sanctioned oil for years, and the US has
the authority to do it. And we need to continue
to send a clear message to Maduro that the US
is going to uphold sanctions and deny his illicit networks.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, now, Rachel Maddow never told the audience is that
there was a warrant out on that tanker. It had
been violating sanctions repeatedly transporting Iranian oil, transporting it too
places that are sanctioned, like China and other stuff. Here's
the White House spokesman.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Is committed to stopping the illegal flow of drugs into
our country. He's also fully committed to effectuating this administration's
sanction policy. And that's what you saw in the world
saw take place yesterday.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
They're enforcing the actual sanctions on these tankers. The other
thing is they want to bankrupt of Venezuela. They want
to stop the drug traffic. Stop the drug traffic stop.
You close the border so it's not coming over the
border anymore. That's why the drug cartels move to transporting
it by water by sea. So they're going to stop
(08:32):
that now and they're going to eventually shut it down.
And once you stop the flow of this oil, this
illegal oil, this is how Venezuela's a terrible leader makes
his money illegally transporting sanctioned oil to sanctioned places and
all this drug stuff. So once you shut that down,
he's going to go broke and run out of money.
(08:52):
So when Trump says, this guy's going to be gone,
well that's why. Here's Kat McFarlane.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Venezuela. It pretty soon runs out of money. I mean
really soon runs out of money. And that's the money
that Maduro used to pay the military, to pay off
all the bad guys to keep himself in power. So
that's why when Trump says, oh, I think Maduro's days
are numbered, I think he's counting off the days in
tell Mandua runs out of money.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, it's millions and millions a day. These are illegal shipments. Now,
we do seize tankers. We've been Every administration does it.
Here's here's the Navy Seals.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
We've been sanctioning tankers out of Venezuela and many other
countries for years, and seizing oil tankers is actually not
uncommon for us to do. In twenty fourteen, in my
old community, the seals parachuted in the season oil tanker
in the morning Glory and the Mediterranean, which is also
smuggling illicit oil. Because many of these rogue regimes and
terrorist organizations use sometimes on flag vessels or wrongly flagged
(09:44):
vessels to move oil around to fund that their illicit operations,
or use those tankers to smuggle other subsces like drug
or weapons.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Twenty fourteen. Who is President Dan Oh? Yeah, Obama seizing
oil tankers. Well, it's okay when he does it. When
he does it, it's different. Now again, we always do this,
We always support illegal criminals. But everything changed with the
Biden years where they decided to just throw the border
(10:12):
wide open, do absolutely nothing. They also decided they would
not enforce any sanctions anywhere, so they got used to
that craziness and now they're stunned. President Trump will continue
to blow up narco terrorist's boats, seize illegal tankers and
all that stuff, and he's going to stop the drugs
no matter what you have to do.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Drug traffic by sea is down ninety and nobody can
figure out who the eight percent is because I have
no idea.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Anybody getting involved in that right now is not doing well.
And we'll start that on land too. It's going to
be sorting on land pretty soon. Here you go. But
if you're fake news, if you're MS whatever they call them.
Viewer you're just a bobblehead nodding when they tell you
the president has no idea why. He doesn't even know why.
(11:01):
He didn't mean there's no reason to seas he's take.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Because really doesn't seem to have any idea why he's
going to war in Venezuela, nor does he seem to
be in charge of any of the decisions that are
leading us to this war, and so we also have
to worry.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Of course, this is just nonsense. He has no idea
why he's doing this. What the hell does she know about?
What he knows has nothing to do with him. You
know how they always say President Trump said without evidence.
He said, well, she has no evidence, none to back
up anything she's saying. Hey, it's just about the end
of the year. They've looked back on the first year
(11:36):
of Trump. Two point five million illegals deported, two point
five million illegals deported, one point nine million. That's almost
two million self deported. Self deported because they saw the
ice rays, they saw what was going to happen, so
they supported themselves. But that's one point nine million self deported.
(11:57):
Holman and his team got six one hundred thousand illegals
out in the first year, so a two point five million.
Trump's only got four years, but that would bring him
to ten million that he'll get out by then. So
he's enforcing a lot of things that the Biden administration
wouldn't enforce. When it came to law and order, the
(12:17):
Biden administration decided they're not going to enforce anything. You know,
there's a rule a law. Now, if you're a truck
driver driving one of those big, huge trucks out there
on the highway, the law is you have to speak English.
You have to be tested for English. Well, obviously it's
a federal law because if you don't speak English, you
(12:38):
won't be able to understand the traffic signs, you won't
be able to even talk to a cop if he
stops you, you won't be able to fill out a
report correctly, that's the law. You have to be able
to speak English. Now, the Obama administration tried to loosen
up that law a little, but President Trump has put
it back into effect. You've got to speak English to
(13:01):
drive one of those big, huge trucks. You've got to
be able to read the signs, all of that stuff.
And a lot of proponents who are pushing for this
crackdown included family members of accident victims who had been
killed by those trucks because they couldn't speak English, couldn't
read the signs. So there's been a crackdown and recently
(13:21):
ten thousand drivers have lost their US driving privileges, taken
off the road because they couldn't pass an English test,
cracked down by the Trump administration. Now you're going to
you'll see this probably Monday on Rachel Madda. How horrible
this look what they're doing to these poor illegals who
broke him. A assassin of Charlie Kirk. First day in
(13:43):
court yesterday, very very very creepy, laughing, joking around with
his attorneys. You know, you're in court for being an
assassin for murder. They got you, They got all the evidence,
laughing and joking us. Sometimes sometimes these guys are a
(14:05):
little drugged up. They did that with Oj. Remember in
his trial, he didn't quite look right. They drugged him
up because Oj was quite a temperamental guy with a
big temper, and they wanted him calm in court, so
they gave him some drugs to really really really calm
them down. So they might have done that with this kid.
He's only twenty two, so he might have been on
something to keep him very calm, but there he was
(14:27):
laughing and smiling. The judge look like looks like he
was going to allow I guess he's going to allow
cameras in the court. The trial will be televised. I
don't know what the point of that is. This guy's
clearly guilty. You got all the evidence, you got everything
you need. Just convict the guy, lock him up, give
him the electric chair. I think they have capital punishment
in that state. But they're doing pretty well. Actually, he's
(14:51):
got these what do you call those free lawyers, those
court appointed public defenders, But they're doing pretty well. They
won the right to have him in civilian clothes in court.
Normally you put a suit and tie on. In this
case it was just a button down shirt. But he
is shackled to protect people in the courtroom. The judges
(15:14):
ordered the cameras cannot show the shackles on him. Hey,
if you can allow cameras, allow cameras, and apparently one
camera caught up just a glimpse of the shackles, and
the judge went nuts, threatening to throw all the cameras out,
but you got to remember the jury. We'll see the
shackles and realize this guy's very dangerous. He looks nuts,
(15:35):
Luigi Mangione completely nuts, looks like a just totally crazy.
But it looks like you'll get to see this trial.
I don't know. You know, these democrats go crazy. Luigi
Mangiona has fan clubs, he has groupies, he has fans
cheering them as he comes in and out of the court.
You may see the same thing for this lunatic Tyler
(15:55):
Robinson in court as well. Hey, Frank Sinatra's hundred tenth
birthday today be one hundred and ten today born December.
What's the day today? I forgot his birthday? December twelfth.
December twelfth, Yeah, December twelfth, Hoboken, New Jersey, of course.
And they're having that birthday party at Patsy's. It's all
(16:19):
sold out. You can't there's no more tickets to it.
But you can be able to get the podcast. Just
go online and just type Brank Sinatra. You'll find the
podcast of it. Not everybody's leaving Manhattan. You might know
somebody who's leaving because of Mom Donnie. But apartment sales
are very, very strong and rents. People are renting apartments
(16:41):
here like crazy. In fact, right now you can't rent
an apartment. They've hit record highs, record highs. Apartments are going.
You know what the average rent now is in New
York fifty six hundred a month. Fifty six hundred a
month average rent. But that's because people are renting them
like crazy. How do you do something, how do you
create affordabilding? Well, if your mom, Donnie, if you can
(17:03):
actually get a lot of people to leave, that will
bring down the rents. But hey, by the way, mom,
Donnie is announced he's putting tariffs on businesses. You know
these Democrats claim they hate tariffs. He's announced he wants
to put tariffs on business He calls them corporate tax increases.
But it'd be a corporate tax increase, the same thing
as a tariff. It is a tariff. So he wants
to tariff uh, New York City businesses. Hey, we'll take
(17:25):
some calls next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero

Is the number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Good morning, Mark, Happy birthday to the Chairman of the board.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
To one hundred and ten today, one hundred and ten.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
One hundred and ten years young. You know you mentioned
Jackie Vernon recently and it was it rang a bell
because I remember he used to do this bit, you know,
with he'd had the clicker. Here I am on my
summer vacation.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, for those who are Jackie Vernon was a comedian
back in the sixties, very popular and he was a
very boring guy. That was his act that he was
the most boring quiet and he'd say hello exactly, hello friends,
and he would do like a slide show with a
clicker and he goes, right, this is real. But it
was a very boring guy. Now, this thing came out
the other day that he had like twelve families, nine
(18:40):
thousand women.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
He was a carrouser. But I saw, you know, he
was on Sullivan and Sullivan. People may forget he had
the greatest comedians week after week on from you know,
the ordinary Jackie Vernons, but he knows Myron Cohen and
Alan King and Joan John Byner and Sandy Barren and
(19:02):
two guys like London Lee and Stanley Meyron Handleman.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
You know, there I go on the past. But also,
like he did with rock and roll, he was quite
cutting edge. He would have a young Richard Pryor on
and all those guys were on site.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Exactly before Carson became the place for comedians to get
make their name, Sullivan was light years ahead.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah. No, it was quite a show. It was done
right over there at what's now unfortunately the Stephen Colbert Theater,
but that was the Ed Sullivan Theater for years.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
And when you went on there, forty to fifty million
think about this, forty or fifty million people would be watching.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
It was unbelievable. And like the Carson desk, if he
called you over, you know, and shook your hand, that
was you know. The next day you were headlining in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, and it was quite a show. Everybody used to
tell me about doing that. George Carlin had a whole routine.
You went to the deli next door. You got like
a six pack of beer. You took it there because
you'd be there the whole day. You'd do a dress rehearsal,
then you'd do a dress rehears for the audience, then
you take a break, then you come back and do
the show. So you do like three times in one day. Well, Mike,
(20:07):
as always, thanks for calling. Let's go to Steve and Bedsty. Steve,
how you doing?
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Happy and healthy? Mark? I had a suggestion days, it'll
be a year since we lost Dibrina Kouwam on the
f line. Are you familiar with these still? Who are
you talking about Dabrina Kuwam, the woman who was burned
alive by the Guatemala and illegal immigrant.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, she was. It was a woman who and illegal
was here a nut and set her on fire right
on the subway platform there. So it's one year.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
Are you familiar with that station?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Which station is it?
Speaker 7 (20:48):
It still will Avenue terminal. Do you know the station?
You've been there?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
No, it's in Brooklyn, right by Nathan's. I've never been
on the subway outside of Manhattan. I only take it
at Manhattan.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
One hundred feet away from where she was killed, right
in the center of the dome. On the overpass is
an open space twelve x thirty six that would make
a perfect place for a stage so that they can
play music under that dome.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
It was a terrible, terrible situation. I think you're getting
a little carried away with this. It's a terrible, terrible situation.
Instead of worrying about that, let's worry about doing something
that patrol these subways. We need more protection there, although
it's gotten better. We need Curtis, the Guardian Angels, we
need the police, we need everything there. Wait, I take
(21:40):
that back. I did take the subway once to the
Barclay Center once, but otherwise just Manhattan. Let's go to
lou and Queens Lou.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
How you doing, Hey, Mark, I want to comment on Venezuella.
You were absolutely right. I want to bring up something.
They gave no coverage to the great escape of Liam Machado,
who of course was elected first to become the president
of Venezuela. It wasn't to happen. She now had, you know,
(22:09):
was escaping to receive the Nobel Prize winner for being
the opposition leader there. Why didn't she get any coverage?
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Well do the math. She's a big Trump supporter. She
shared her Nobel prize with Donald Trump. She likes Trump.
She's the good of Venezuelan leader, the one currently there.
Maduro is the crooked, corrupt. So guess guess who the
fake news is defending. Guess which one they're promoting.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
It's sick.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Maduro is supporting Iranian oil, he's supporting the drug cartel.
Guess which one NBC likes, The one who wants to
clean up Venezuela, the woman who likes Trump. Now they're
not supporting her. There behind Maduro, the one with the
drug cartels, the narco terrorist boats, the illegal tankers shipping
(22:59):
Iranian oil to China, Cuba. That's the one their backing.
That's the way they are. So you gotta remember it's
all emotion Democrats. It's very childish. They just get emotional.
Ever they hate, they go crazy.
Speaker 9 (23:14):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
And it's always double standard. Whatever they go after Trump
for doing, you find out Biden did it four thousand times,
Obama did it nine thousand times. It doesn't matter to them. Hey,
you remember when remember they dropped some illegals in Martha's vineyard.
It was DeSantis. Remember he sent a planeloaded. Just dropped
these illegals one morning, all these illegal aliens Martha's vineyard.
(23:38):
What are the Democrats there do? They called the National Guard,
had them deported immediately, no due process at all, just
had them deported. Yes, Adam sent the hell out of there. Hey,
when we come back, Howie Carr will be with us.
We'll talk to him next on seven to ten w.

Yeah, what's what's good? What's the deal with Amazon's that's
tough to deal with sometimes.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
This was the first time that ever it seemed like
they wanted to actually print the books. So they're they're
printing their their books of their selling.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
And I have my own books.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
It's the same it's the same book, but it's it's
I almost feel like, you know, uh, I'm getting John d.
Rockefeller here with standard oil. You know, they want they
want vertical integration of the product. But that's okay. I'm
selling a lot of books. I'm doing fine. So it's okay,
it's okay. I'm fine with Amazon.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, Hey, Jasmine Crockett. You know, all these these democrats,
one is dumber than the other. They act so dumb.
They say these dumb things. Now she's actually highly educated,
but she's acting very dumb. Is that is this what
you got to do now to be a popular democrat?
Act really dopey? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
I mean, I'm I'm watching all these democrats eating each
other alive, you know. I mean she forced out all Red.
I mean, you know, he was pretty weak, but at
least he had some experience, you know, as a you know,
he was a former Cowboys football player, you know, so
I mean he had some experience in the real world.
(25:40):
I mean, and I was, now this crazy woman is there?
You know, now you got you know Dan Goldman, I mean,
wasn't he terror isn't he terrible enough as a congressman
for New York. But you know, now you got what's
his name, louder is running. The only thing is that
he got arrested trying to you know, interfere with an
ice off. That's his only qualification to run against Goldman.
(26:04):
And you know you got the crazy guy in Maine
who claims he's working class, even though he went to
the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut. He promotes himself as a
working class against that Janet Mills. It's like these Democrats
are starting to you know, really peer each other apart
in these upcoming primaries, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah, So it's so crazy to the left. They're all lunatics.
They're on. Is somebody going to come along, like a
Bill Clinton, a moderate rise up before twenty twenty eight
and like lead them back to the middle. Is that
going to happen?
Speaker 6 (26:35):
You know, you know in the baseball in the baseball
teams always see if we got anybody coming up in
the farm system. I think, you know, the Democrats, I
don't see any Bill Clinton's in the farm system, do you.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Josh Shapiro maybe.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Maybe, But you know he's got the same problem he
had in twenty twenty four. They don't like him because
he's Jewish. Yeah, I mean, isn't that what it boils
down to?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, you got the fetterman's pretty normal, but uh, you
have to keep your eyes. I don't know, I.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Mean, it's still it's still I mean, I I agree
with what you said, and I you know, I I
he has a higher approval rating among Pennsylvania Republicans the Democrats.
But you know, there is there are these lingering health issues,
you know, don't don't you have to wonder about him?
I mean even if he you know, even if he
did finally decide to you know, put on a pair
of long pants and a tie and all that kind
(27:29):
of stuff, you know, I mean, you'd still have to
worry about his health.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I don't, I don't know. I don't.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
I don't see anybody out there that that that is
that it's normal to run. And you know, you got
this guy Wes Moore and Maryland. He's got all these
you know, he's he's got a lot of resume problems,
you know, danang Dick resume type problems, you know, bronze
stars that weren't issued and uh, you know, working at
(27:55):
Deutsche bank, which he apparently wasn't working at. I don't
underst the end all these people that want to come
I give you another example, that guy Trone in Maryland,
the guy who ran for the Senate, the guy he
started Total Wine. So I mean there's a guy that
I mean, he's an uber successful businessman. So he loses,
he gives up his seat in Congress to unsuccessfully run
(28:16):
for the Senate, loses, and then now he wants to
come back and run for Congress against the rich woman
who took his places in his old congressional district.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
You know.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
So it's going to be great for TV ads and
you know in the DC, Maryland, Baltimore area. But I mean,
why does a guy that's worth all that money like
Drone want to come back to be one of four
hundred and thirty five congressman.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I don't get it, do you no? What is it? Well?
You know they always said to politics is show business
for ugly people. Everybody wants to do something. You know,
if you're not so hot, you going to Congress. If
you've got a personality, you pay to do a fake podcast.
Everybody wants to be a star. Nobody wants to just
be in real life, private life anymore.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
I mean, if I own total wine mark, that would
be enough for.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Uh, hey you're in Are you in Palm Beach? Now? Yes,
I am. What happens there at Christmas time it's a
whole different place Christmas time, right, Well, there aren't any
riots in the street, unlike Dan Tucker. You saw that
on the front page and you're uposed today.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Yeah, there will be. There will be no violence anywhere. No,
it's it's it's it's kind of interesting. And I've known
this going back to you know, the nineties when I
was covering the one of the Kennedy rape trials in
West Palm.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
We were staying in Palm Beach.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
But you know, like all the lights in Palm Beach,
the Christmas lights, you're all white, you know, And you know,
I don't know, I like color color lights, you know,
and I like flashing color lights.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
So you know we used to we on nights when
there's nothing mu's going on the trial, all of us
reporters would drive over to West Palm and just see
all the ashing lights.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I still do it.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
I you know, I have my my studio now is
in uh is it West Palm? At the iHeart complex
and I so like going going and seeing all the
colorful lights West Palm It's going way upscale fast, especially
with Mamdani coming in as mayor. But it's still it's
still like America, you know, as opposed to pom which
(30:22):
you know, I think I think probably colored colored Christmas
lights probably violate some kind of zoning uh ordnance in
the town up Palm Beach.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Hey, you know, the big big real estate guys are
building like crazy West Palm Beach. They're putting a million skyscrapers,
a million offices. They're gonna you know, they're not thinking ahead.
I've seen this happen in other cities. They do that,
and they forget to make the airport double the size,
They forget to put in more roads, right, and then
it's going to become a nightmare in West Palm Beach.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Mark Man, you're still you're still promoting this New York Jovinism,
like the like there's still some future in New York.
I mean, the Palm Beach Airport compared to Laguardie or JFK,
I mean it's fantastic. I mean yeah, because it's so
easy to get to. I'm like seven minutes. I'm on
the island. I'm seven minutes away from the airport. You
(31:15):
know how much it cost to park today in pomp
at the Pombeach International fourteen bucks.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, it's the greatest airport in America because it's small,
there's not much traffic. It's easy, there's not too many people.
I'm just saying, when they build all these buildings and
you've got millions trying to go in and out of
that airport, it's going to be a nightmare. It's it's
not going to be the same.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
So in other words, it will be like New York City.
You were through Trump when he was first running, he
used to talk about going to the airport the Philip Wharton.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
He said, it's like.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
Going in It's like being in Bay Roads, dragging it
into the city from the airport.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
You know what, It's no better now, is it. It's
a little better. But they're opening a casino right next
to it. So good luck, so away. If you want

Now or Presents No Mark Simon Shaw. Hey, it's Friday.
We got a lot to get too. Now they're gonna
be it'll be cold today and then a little warmer tomorrow.
But Saturday night, the very first snow of the year.
It's not going to be much and maybe just an
inch or so, but you'll actually see some snow when
(00:24):
you wake up on Sunday morning, just a little, just
a little, and then it gets warm again. So don't worry.
It's not gonna be a bad winter. We got lots
of stuff to talk about. Now. You got to remember,
go easy on your crazy Democratic friends. I know they
sound crazy, they're so angry. What the hell are they
so angry about? But you got to remember they're living
(00:47):
in this little bubble, in this echo chamber where they're
just fed all kinds of stuff. And now they watch
CNN and MS whatever the hell it's called now and
New York Times, and they're not exposed. They don't have
access to a lot of information. They just spoon fed
little bits and pieces of a story to create a
(01:09):
certain narrative. For instance, they'll tell you right now that
President Trump, if you're watching these shows all day and
all you know is President Trump is very, very sick.
He has tremendous medical problems. He's falling asleep every second,
and his popularity is just sinking in the polls. He
is plungings. So they're running around thinking all of this stuff,
(01:33):
which is fine. Let him think whatever they want to think.
You know, they decide whatever they want to decide, and
that's it. They believe it. So the fact of the
matter is there's nothing wrong with him. Medically, he's fine.
He just had a very very very detailed physical He's
absolutely fine. You know, he's seventy eight, seventy nine years old.
You can always have little things. He's got some swelling
(01:54):
in his ankles, he's got something on his hand. This
is almost nothing. This is minor medical stuff at the
age of seventy nine. He's not falling asleep. There are
people around him all day and night. The guy goes,
you know, eighteen nineteen hours a day. Then even when
he's home, doesn't sleep. He's tweeting and texting and doing
all sorts of stuff, making phone calls all night. I know,
(02:16):
at one time at the cabinet meeting, looked like he
fell asleep. It looked like his eyes were closed, and
they show you those pictures of his eyes are closed. Well,
go back and watch the video. It was Marco Rubio
talking and Pete Heggsath talking. But watch his eyes are closed,
his head is down. But at one point Exit makes
a joke. Watch Trump, he reacts. You can see him
(02:38):
laugh at the joke, and you can see his face.
He's reacting to everything that's being said. So his eyes
are closed, but he's he's not asleep during the cabinet meeting.
Now with Joe Biden. You so I'm actually asleep at times.
So now the other thing I'll convince you is he's
so far down in the polls on the economy, everything
that there's no chance in the midterms for Trump or
(02:59):
for the Republicans. They did this to Reagan, by the way,
Reagan's first term, they said he they kept broadcasting this,
putting this in the news every day. He's so fired
down in the polls, and they try to do everything
they could to hurt him. And in fact, believe it
or not, Reagan had a run for reelection, believe it
or not, as the year before the reelection, Reagan was
(03:23):
trailing Mondale in the polls and he was also trailing
John Glenn in the polls, so Reagan was in third. Now.
Of course, the following year, Reagan won the biggest landslide ever.
He won forty nine states. It was the biggest landslide ever.
He could have won all fifty if he wanted to,
but he told campaign manager Ed Rollins give up Minnesota,
(03:45):
let Mondale win Minnesota because it didn't want to humiliate him.
So it was the biggest landslide ever, even though at
this point the polls were off. So don't pay any
attention to all these polls. It means absolutely nothing. Also,
the big beautiful bill that was past has not started yet.
It kicks in in January. And people are telling me that,
(04:05):
you know, when this bill kicks in in January, all
of a sudden, you're going to be getting tax cuts
and tax breaks. You're gonna be paying a lot less tax,
so you'll see more in your paycheck. But I'm being
told by people in DC that the Americans are going
to be startled by the change in their paychecks. It's
going to be big. You're going to see a big,
big change in paychecks starting in January. So everything will
(04:29):
start turning around then. Now, when it comes to the polls,
don't go by one they're talking about today, the AP poll.
There's no organization more partisan, corrupt, slanted, biased than AP.
Don't trust them for a second. We'll have the best
polster in the world on the show later we'll get
(04:50):
the real numbers coming up. So and by the way,
when you look at the polling, President Trump pulls very
very well, very good poll numbers. If you isolate issues
and just do the economy, that pole is low. But
not Trump himself. They forget to tell you that part.
But they just make up a whole scenario for their audience.
(05:11):
They drill it in their heads all they're all coordinated NBC, ABC, CBS,
New York Times, CNN, MS, whatever the hell it is,
and they just keep pushing that narrative and all your
Democratic friends run around thinking this. I'll give you a
good example. The oil tankers. They never ever tell anybody
in the audience what the deal is with the oil tankers.
(05:33):
All they show is the video of the Navy seals
repelling down from the helicopter seizing an oil What the
hell they're just seizing an oil tanker from another country?
Why would they do such as they never tell the
audience anything. It's an illegal tanker. There's a warrant out
for that tanker. It has been used to ship Iranian oil,
violating all the sanctions, but they never tell you that.
(05:56):
If you're watching Rachel Maddow, you know all these fake news.
They try to look very serious. They put it out
of a background that looks like it's some sort of
news show, and she's got glasses and she looks very professorial,
but she doesn't know what the hell he's talking about,
and she's never telling you the actual story.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
For instance, Trump really doesn't seem to have any idea
why he's going to war in Venezuela, nor does he
seem to be in charge of any of the decisions
that are leading us to this war. And so we
also have to worry about who's actually running the government
right now and who is actually driving us toward this
regime change war that the President doesn't seem to be
at the helm of. We don't know who is, and
(06:36):
we don't know why.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So if you're the viewer, you think, wow, he's just nuts.
He just sees the tanker. He doesn't know why. As
she said, he doesn't even know why. He doesn't know why.
He just I don't know where he decided to seize
the tanker. Oh, none of this is true. Again, there
was a warrant out for that tanker. He'd been violating sanctions.
Tankers are sees. It's a normal thing. We've been doing
(06:58):
it for years if you violate the sanction. Biden got
very sloppy about it and stopped. But we do seize tankers.
It's perfectly normal. It wasn't out of the ordinary. Here's
a government guy who's the expert in this.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
The US doesn't bluff when it comes to sanctions enforcement.
This wasn't just a tanker seizure. It was a warning
shot to every single dictator who thinks they can outsmart
US law enforcement. And we've got to let President Trump
ramp up the heat on Maduro, who is charged with
flooding our streets with fentanyl and killing our fellow Americans.
So this was lawful enforcement action. It was executed under
(07:31):
a federal seizure warrant against a vessel that's been involved
in transporting sanctioned oil for years, and the US has
the authority to do it. And we need to continue
to send a clear message to Maduro that the US
is going to uphold sanctions and deny his illicit networks.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, now, Rachel Maddow never told the audience is that
there was a warrant out on that tanker. It had
been violating sanctions repeatedly transporting Iranian oil, transporting it too
places that are sanctioned, like China and other stuff. Here's
the White House spokesman.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Is committed to stopping the illegal flow of drugs into
our country. He's also fully committed to effectuating this administration's
sanction policy. And that's what you saw in the world
saw take place yesterday.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
They're enforcing the actual sanctions on these tankers. The other
thing is they want to bankrupt of Venezuela. They want
to stop the drug traffic. Stop the drug traffic stop.
You close the border so it's not coming over the
border anymore. That's why the drug cartels move to transporting
it by water by sea. So they're going to stop
(08:32):
that now and they're going to eventually shut it down.
And once you stop the flow of this oil, this
illegal oil, this is how Venezuela's a terrible leader makes
his money illegally transporting sanctioned oil to sanctioned places and
all this drug stuff. So once you shut that down,
he's going to go broke and run out of money.
(08:52):
So when Trump says, this guy's going to be gone,
well that's why. Here's Kat McFarlane.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Venezuela. It pretty soon runs out of money. I mean
really soon runs out of money. And that's the money
that Maduro used to pay the military, to pay off
all the bad guys to keep himself in power. So
that's why when Trump says, oh, I think Maduro's days
are numbered, I think he's counting off the days in
tell Mandua runs out of money.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, it's millions and millions a day. These are illegal shipments. Now,
we do seize tankers. We've been Every administration does it.
Here's here's the Navy Seals.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
We've been sanctioning tankers out of Venezuela and many other
countries for years, and seizing oil tankers is actually not
uncommon for us to do. In twenty fourteen, in my
old community, the seals parachuted in the season oil tanker
in the morning Glory and the Mediterranean, which is also
smuggling illicit oil. Because many of these rogue regimes and
terrorist organizations use sometimes on flag vessels or wrongly flagged
(09:44):
vessels to move oil around to fund that their illicit operations,
or use those tankers to smuggle other subsces like drug
or weapons.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Twenty fourteen. Who is President Dan Oh? Yeah, Obama seizing
oil tankers. Well, it's okay when he does it. When
he does it, it's different. Now again, we always do this,
We always support illegal criminals. But everything changed with the
Biden years where they decided to just throw the border
(10:12):
wide open, do absolutely nothing. They also decided they would
not enforce any sanctions anywhere, so they got used to
that craziness and now they're stunned. President Trump will continue
to blow up narco terrorist's boats, seize illegal tankers and
all that stuff, and he's going to stop the drugs
no matter what you have to do.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Drug traffic by sea is down ninety and nobody can
figure out who the eight percent is because I have
no idea.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Anybody getting involved in that right now is not doing well.
And we'll start that on land too. It's going to
be sorting on land pretty soon. Here you go. But
if you're fake news, if you're MS whatever they call them.
Viewer you're just a bobblehead nodding when they tell you
the president has no idea why. He doesn't even know why.
(11:01):
He didn't mean there's no reason to seas he's take.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Because really doesn't seem to have any idea why he's
going to war in Venezuela, nor does he seem to
be in charge of any of the decisions that are
leading us to this war, and so we also have
to worry.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Of course, this is just nonsense. He has no idea
why he's doing this. What the hell does she know about?
What he knows has nothing to do with him. You
know how they always say President Trump said without evidence.
He said, well, she has no evidence, none to back
up anything she's saying. Hey, it's just about the end
of the year. They've looked back on the first year
(11:36):
of Trump. Two point five million illegals deported, two point
five million illegals deported, one point nine million. That's almost
two million self deported. Self deported because they saw the
ice rays, they saw what was going to happen, so
they supported themselves. But that's one point nine million self deported.
(11:57):
Holman and his team got six one hundred thousand illegals
out in the first year, so a two point five million.
Trump's only got four years, but that would bring him
to ten million that he'll get out by then. So
he's enforcing a lot of things that the Biden administration
wouldn't enforce. When it came to law and order, the
(12:17):
Biden administration decided they're not going to enforce anything. You know,
there's a rule a law. Now, if you're a truck
driver driving one of those big, huge trucks out there
on the highway, the law is you have to speak English.
You have to be tested for English. Well, obviously it's
a federal law because if you don't speak English, you
(12:38):
won't be able to understand the traffic signs, you won't
be able to even talk to a cop if he
stops you, you won't be able to fill out a
report correctly, that's the law. You have to be able
to speak English. Now, the Obama administration tried to loosen
up that law a little, but President Trump has put
it back into effect. You've got to speak English to
(13:01):
drive one of those big, huge trucks. You've got to
be able to read the signs, all of that stuff.
And a lot of proponents who are pushing for this
crackdown included family members of accident victims who had been
killed by those trucks because they couldn't speak English, couldn't
read the signs. So there's been a crackdown and recently
(13:21):
ten thousand drivers have lost their US driving privileges, taken
off the road because they couldn't pass an English test,
cracked down by the Trump administration. Now you're going to
you'll see this probably Monday on Rachel Madda. How horrible
this look what they're doing to these poor illegals who
broke him. A assassin of Charlie Kirk. First day in
(13:43):
court yesterday, very very very creepy, laughing, joking around with
his attorneys. You know, you're in court for being an
assassin for murder. They got you, They got all the evidence,
laughing and joking us. Sometimes sometimes these guys are a
(14:05):
little drugged up. They did that with Oj. Remember in
his trial, he didn't quite look right. They drugged him
up because Oj was quite a temperamental guy with a
big temper, and they wanted him calm in court, so
they gave him some drugs to really really really calm
them down. So they might have done that with this kid.
He's only twenty two, so he might have been on
something to keep him very calm, but there he was
(14:27):
laughing and smiling. The judge look like looks like he
was going to allow I guess he's going to allow
cameras in the court. The trial will be televised. I
don't know what the point of that is. This guy's
clearly guilty. You got all the evidence, you got everything
you need. Just convict the guy, lock him up, give
him the electric chair. I think they have capital punishment
in that state. But they're doing pretty well. Actually, he's
(14:51):
got these what do you call those free lawyers, those
court appointed public defenders, But they're doing pretty well. They
won the right to have him in civilian clothes in court.
Normally you put a suit and tie on. In this
case it was just a button down shirt. But he
is shackled to protect people in the courtroom. The judges
(15:14):
ordered the cameras cannot show the shackles on him. Hey,
if you can allow cameras, allow cameras, and apparently one
camera caught up just a glimpse of the shackles, and
the judge went nuts, threatening to throw all the cameras out,
but you got to remember the jury. We'll see the
shackles and realize this guy's very dangerous. He looks nuts,
(15:35):
Luigi Mangione completely nuts, looks like a just totally crazy.
But it looks like you'll get to see this trial.
I don't know. You know, these democrats go crazy. Luigi
Mangiona has fan clubs, he has groupies, he has fans
cheering them as he comes in and out of the court.
You may see the same thing for this lunatic Tyler
(15:55):
Robinson in court as well. Hey, Frank Sinatra's hundred tenth
birthday today be one hundred and ten today born December.
What's the day today? I forgot his birthday? December twelfth.
December twelfth, Yeah, December twelfth, Hoboken, New Jersey, of course.
And they're having that birthday party at Patsy's. It's all
(16:19):
sold out. You can't there's no more tickets to it.
But you can be able to get the podcast. Just
go online and just type Brank Sinatra. You'll find the
podcast of it. Not everybody's leaving Manhattan. You might know
somebody who's leaving because of Mom Donnie. But apartment sales
are very, very strong and rents. People are renting apartments
(16:41):
here like crazy. In fact, right now you can't rent
an apartment. They've hit record highs, record highs. Apartments are going.
You know what the average rent now is in New
York fifty six hundred a month. Fifty six hundred a
month average rent. But that's because people are renting them
like crazy. How do you do something, how do you
create affordabilding? Well, if your mom, Donnie, if you can
(17:03):
actually get a lot of people to leave, that will
bring down the rents. But hey, by the way, mom,
Donnie is announced he's putting tariffs on businesses. You know
these Democrats claim they hate tariffs. He's announced he wants
to put tariffs on business He calls them corporate tax increases.
But it'd be a corporate tax increase, the same thing
as a tariff. It is a tariff. So he wants
to tariff uh, New York City businesses. Hey, we'll take
(17:25):
some calls next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
ten is the number. Eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten.

you Dixon calls eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Is the number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Good morning, Mark, Happy birthday to the Chairman of the board.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
To one hundred and ten today, one hundred and ten.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
One hundred and ten years young. You know you mentioned
Jackie Vernon recently and it was it rang a bell
because I remember he used to do this bit, you know,
with he'd had the clicker. Here I am on my
summer vacation.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, for those who are Jackie Vernon was a comedian
back in the sixties, very popular and he was a
very boring guy. That was his act that he was
the most boring quiet and he'd say hello exactly, hello friends,
and he would do like a slide show with a
clicker and he goes, right, this is real. But it
was a very boring guy. Now, this thing came out
the other day that he had like twelve families, nine
(18:40):
thousand women.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
He was a carrouser. But I saw, you know, he
was on Sullivan and Sullivan. People may forget he had
the greatest comedians week after week on from you know,
the ordinary Jackie Vernons, but he knows Myron Cohen and
Alan King and Joan John Byner and Sandy Barren and
(19:02):
two guys like London Lee and Stanley Meyron Handleman.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
You know, there I go on the past. But also,
like he did with rock and roll, he was quite
cutting edge. He would have a young Richard Pryor on
and all those guys were on site.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Exactly before Carson became the place for comedians to get
make their name, Sullivan was light years ahead.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah. No, it was quite a show. It was done
right over there at what's now unfortunately the Stephen Colbert Theater,
but that was the Ed Sullivan Theater for years.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
And when you went on there, forty to fifty million
think about this, forty or fifty million people would be watching.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
It was unbelievable. And like the Carson desk, if he
called you over, you know, and shook your hand, that
was you know. The next day you were headlining in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, and it was quite a show. Everybody used to
tell me about doing that. George Carlin had a whole routine.
You went to the deli next door. You got like
a six pack of beer. You took it there because
you'd be there the whole day. You'd do a dress rehearsal,
then you'd do a dress rehears for the audience, then
you take a break, then you come back and do
the show. So you do like three times in one day. Well, Mike,
(20:07):
as always, thanks for calling. Let's go to Steve and Bedsty. Steve,
how you doing?
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Happy and healthy? Mark? I had a suggestion days, it'll
be a year since we lost Dibrina Kouwam on the
f line. Are you familiar with these still? Who are
you talking about Dabrina Kuwam, the woman who was burned
alive by the Guatemala and illegal immigrant.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, she was. It was a woman who and illegal
was here a nut and set her on fire right
on the subway platform there. So it's one year.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
Are you familiar with that station?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Which station is it?
Speaker 7 (20:48):
It still will Avenue terminal. Do you know the station?
You've been there?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
No, it's in Brooklyn, right by Nathan's. I've never been
on the subway outside of Manhattan. I only take it
at Manhattan.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
One hundred feet away from where she was killed, right
in the center of the dome. On the overpass is
an open space twelve x thirty six that would make
a perfect place for a stage so that they can
play music under that dome.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
It was a terrible, terrible situation. I think you're getting
a little carried away with this. It's a terrible, terrible situation.
Instead of worrying about that, let's worry about doing something
that patrol these subways. We need more protection there, although
it's gotten better. We need Curtis, the Guardian Angels, we
need the police, we need everything there. Wait, I take
(21:40):
that back. I did take the subway once to the
Barclay Center once, but otherwise just Manhattan. Let's go to
lou and Queens Lou.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
How you doing, Hey, Mark, I want to comment on Venezuella.
You were absolutely right. I want to bring up something.
They gave no coverage to the great escape of Liam Machado,
who of course was elected first to become the president
of Venezuela. It wasn't to happen. She now had, you know,
(22:09):
was escaping to receive the Nobel Prize winner for being
the opposition leader there. Why didn't she get any coverage?
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Well do the math. She's a big Trump supporter. She
shared her Nobel prize with Donald Trump. She likes Trump.
She's the good of Venezuelan leader, the one currently there.
Maduro is the crooked, corrupt. So guess guess who the
fake news is defending. Guess which one they're promoting.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
It's sick.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Maduro is supporting Iranian oil, he's supporting the drug cartel.
Guess which one NBC likes, The one who wants to
clean up Venezuela, the woman who likes Trump. Now they're
not supporting her. There behind Maduro, the one with the
drug cartels, the narco terrorist boats, the illegal tankers shipping
(22:59):
Iranian oil to China, Cuba. That's the one their backing.
That's the way they are. So you gotta remember it's
all emotion Democrats. It's very childish. They just get emotional.
Ever they hate, they go crazy.
Speaker 9 (23:14):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
And it's always double standard. Whatever they go after Trump
for doing, you find out Biden did it four thousand times,
Obama did it nine thousand times. It doesn't matter to them. Hey,
you remember when remember they dropped some illegals in Martha's vineyard.
It was DeSantis. Remember he sent a planeloaded. Just dropped
these illegals one morning, all these illegal aliens Martha's vineyard.
(23:38):
What are the Democrats there do? They called the National Guard,
had them deported immediately, no due process at all, just
had them deported. Yes, Adam sent the hell out of there. Hey,
when we come back, Howie Carr will be with us.
We'll talk to him next on seven to ten w.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
R hous to New York Mark simoneor how Carr best
tashow hosts in the world.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
You can hear him on iHeart. You can go to
his website Howiecarshow dot com. He's also a best selling author.
You'll love his books, the latest one Mass Corruption and
by the way, you want to do your Christmas shopping?
Books are a great gift. Go to Howie Carr Show
dot com, Howie car How you doing very good?
Speaker 6 (24:20):
And you can also get it on Amazon dot com
to market. We got it all straightened out with Amazon.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, what's what's good? What's the deal with Amazon's that's
tough to deal with sometimes.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
This was the first time that ever it seemed like
they wanted to actually print the books. So they're they're
printing their their books of their selling.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
And I have my own books.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
It's the same it's the same book, but it's it's
I almost feel like, you know, uh, I'm getting John d.
Rockefeller here with standard oil. You know, they want they
want vertical integration of the product. But that's okay. I'm
selling a lot of books. I'm doing fine. So it's okay,
it's okay. I'm fine with Amazon.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, Hey, Jasmine Crockett. You know, all these these democrats,
one is dumber than the other. They act so dumb.
They say these dumb things. Now she's actually highly educated,
but she's acting very dumb. Is that is this what
you got to do now to be a popular democrat?
Act really dopey? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
I mean, I'm I'm watching all these democrats eating each
other alive, you know. I mean she forced out all Red.
I mean, you know, he was pretty weak, but at
least he had some experience, you know, as a you know,
he was a former Cowboys football player, you know, so
I mean he had some experience in the real world.
(25:40):
I mean, and I was, now this crazy woman is there?
You know, now you got you know Dan Goldman, I mean,
wasn't he terror isn't he terrible enough as a congressman
for New York. But you know, now you got what's
his name, louder is running. The only thing is that
he got arrested trying to you know, interfere with an
ice off. That's his only qualification to run against Goldman.
(26:04):
And you know you got the crazy guy in Maine
who claims he's working class, even though he went to
the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut. He promotes himself as a
working class against that Janet Mills. It's like these Democrats
are starting to you know, really peer each other apart
in these upcoming primaries, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah, So it's so crazy to the left. They're all lunatics.
They're on. Is somebody going to come along, like a
Bill Clinton, a moderate rise up before twenty twenty eight
and like lead them back to the middle. Is that
going to happen?
Speaker 6 (26:35):
You know, you know in the baseball in the baseball
teams always see if we got anybody coming up in
the farm system. I think, you know, the Democrats, I
don't see any Bill Clinton's in the farm system, do you.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Josh Shapiro maybe.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Maybe, But you know he's got the same problem he
had in twenty twenty four. They don't like him because
he's Jewish. Yeah, I mean, isn't that what it boils
down to?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, you got the fetterman's pretty normal, but uh, you
have to keep your eyes. I don't know, I.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Mean, it's still it's still I mean, I I agree
with what you said, and I you know, I I
he has a higher approval rating among Pennsylvania Republicans the Democrats.
But you know, there is there are these lingering health issues,
you know, don't don't you have to wonder about him?
I mean even if he you know, even if he
did finally decide to you know, put on a pair
of long pants and a tie and all that kind
(27:29):
of stuff, you know, I mean, you'd still have to
worry about his health.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I don't, I don't know. I don't.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
I don't see anybody out there that that that is
that it's normal to run. And you know, you got
this guy Wes Moore and Maryland. He's got all these
you know, he's he's got a lot of resume problems,
you know, danang Dick resume type problems, you know, bronze
stars that weren't issued and uh, you know, working at
(27:55):
Deutsche bank, which he apparently wasn't working at. I don't
underst the end all these people that want to come
I give you another example, that guy Trone in Maryland,
the guy who ran for the Senate, the guy he
started Total Wine. So I mean there's a guy that
I mean, he's an uber successful businessman. So he loses,
he gives up his seat in Congress to unsuccessfully run
(28:16):
for the Senate, loses, and then now he wants to
come back and run for Congress against the rich woman
who took his places in his old congressional district.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
You know.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
So it's going to be great for TV ads and
you know in the DC, Maryland, Baltimore area. But I mean,
why does a guy that's worth all that money like
Drone want to come back to be one of four
hundred and thirty five congressman.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I don't get it, do you no? What is it? Well?
You know they always said to politics is show business
for ugly people. Everybody wants to do something. You know,
if you're not so hot, you going to Congress. If
you've got a personality, you pay to do a fake podcast.
Everybody wants to be a star. Nobody wants to just
be in real life, private life anymore.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
I mean, if I own total wine mark, that would
be enough for.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Uh, hey you're in Are you in Palm Beach? Now? Yes,
I am. What happens there at Christmas time it's a
whole different place Christmas time, right, Well, there aren't any
riots in the street, unlike Dan Tucker. You saw that
on the front page and you're uposed today.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Yeah, there will be. There will be no violence anywhere. No,
it's it's it's it's kind of interesting. And I've known
this going back to you know, the nineties when I
was covering the one of the Kennedy rape trials in
West Palm.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
We were staying in Palm Beach.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
But you know, like all the lights in Palm Beach,
the Christmas lights, you're all white, you know, And you know,
I don't know, I like color color lights, you know,
and I like flashing color lights.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
So you know we used to we on nights when
there's nothing mu's going on the trial, all of us
reporters would drive over to West Palm and just see
all the ashing lights.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I still do it.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
I you know, I have my my studio now is
in uh is it West Palm? At the iHeart complex
and I so like going going and seeing all the
colorful lights West Palm It's going way upscale fast, especially
with Mamdani coming in as mayor. But it's still it's
still like America, you know, as opposed to pom which
(30:22):
you know, I think I think probably colored colored Christmas
lights probably violate some kind of zoning uh ordnance in
the town up Palm Beach.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Hey, you know, the big big real estate guys are
building like crazy West Palm Beach. They're putting a million skyscrapers,
a million offices. They're gonna you know, they're not thinking ahead.
I've seen this happen in other cities. They do that,
and they forget to make the airport double the size,
They forget to put in more roads, right, and then
it's going to become a nightmare in West Palm Beach.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Mark Man, you're still you're still promoting this New York Jovinism,
like the like there's still some future in New York.
I mean, the Palm Beach Airport compared to Laguardie or JFK,
I mean it's fantastic. I mean yeah, because it's so
easy to get to. I'm like seven minutes. I'm on
the island. I'm seven minutes away from the airport. You
(31:15):
know how much it cost to park today in pomp
at the Pombeach International fourteen bucks.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, it's the greatest airport in America because it's small,
there's not much traffic. It's easy, there's not too many people.
I'm just saying, when they build all these buildings and
you've got millions trying to go in and out of
that airport, it's going to be a nightmare. It's it's
not going to be the same.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
So in other words, it will be like New York City.
You were through Trump when he was first running, he
used to talk about going to the airport the Philip Wharton.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
He said, it's like.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
Going in It's like being in Bay Roads, dragging it
into the city from the airport.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
You know what, It's no better now, is it. It's
a little better. But they're opening a casino right next
to it. So good luck, so away. If you want

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
