Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give WR a bre said on the iHeartRadio app to
hear Mark Simone and all the WR hosts in an instance.
Now back to the Mark Simo show on wor.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Victor in Pennsylvania. Victor,
how you doing?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I'm doing great. First thing is I just heard this
morning that Leticia the idiot James is suing Trump again.
When is she being brought up on.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Her yess getting closer. It's getting closer. She will be
charged with mortgage fraud in Virginia. You got a new
US attorney who's in there working on it. She will
be charged. And look for Adam Schiff to be on
the list. Look for John Bolton to be indicted. He's
in real trouble. Let's go to Joe in New York City. Joe,
(00:52):
how you doing? Good morning, Mark, Mark.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Some people do not want to vote because they think
their names would put on your jury duty Listen. They
don't want to doury.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, No, let's just point out that's a total myth.
Maybe that was true fifty years ago. They get the
list from driver's licenses, from rent rolls, from taxpayer roles.
It has nothing to do with them, nothing to do
with voting, nothing to do with no connection. They use
every list imaginable. Now, so that that's an old myth.
Let's go to Richard and Bayshore. Richard, how you doing.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I'm doing well, Mark, good morning. You know right now,
forty five percent or so of MTA bus passengers are
not paying their fares anyway, it's through law enforcement, nullification
of the law, let's say, by the mayor if it's
made public.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
That true, excellent point. You know this crazy MTA Jano,
liber and Hockel. They've decided to raise the fare on
the subways and buses, and there is an actual, formal,
actual study that's come out showing that half the people
are not paying the fare. They're just not paying and
nobody's enforcing it. And the what they claim they need
(02:00):
with the fare increase, could you could easily get much
more if you just started enforcing the fares. So and
it's easy to do. You can stop turnstile jumping in
two weeks. Ray Kelly did it, Bratton did it. Juliani did.
It's easy to do. You just started enforcing it where
it gets around real fast and nobody jumps the turnstile anymore.
So no need for that increase that they're they're going
(02:21):
to push on us. Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent,
how you doing.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Good morning, Mark, Mark. I'm okay. Mark. You forgot to
mention the fact that also yesterday, with these fare increases,
they're raising the easy pass tolls in everything.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, you're right now, all the bridges, tunnels, everything, exactly.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
So gee, I thought the congestion pricing was supposed to
take care of all of this. I guess it's not so.
Mark AOC was crowing about if Trump doesn't sign this
Hakeem Jeffreys healthcare bill, this budget bill, people are gonna
go without their cancer tree. People are going to be
(03:00):
dropping that in the streets. Well, hello, I hope the
Supreme Court revisits the case about people showing up at
the er with no health insurance and making the state
and the city have to pick up the tab because
when and you'll remember this, when Bill Deblasia was running
(03:21):
for mayth there was a hospital of my neighborhood and
he actually got arrested. He went in front of the
hospital and said, there's no way you're going to close
this hospital. This, that, and the other. Right, Okay, Bill
de Blasio got elected. The hospital was losing twenty five
million dollars a month because when you would go in
(03:42):
the er and I knew a god that was working
in the ear, it looked like the Bowery in there.
It looked like bum's row. Right, So it was losing
twenty five million dollars a month, and a lot of
the hospitals in New York City, downstate Beth Israel, a
lot of Saint Vincent, they closed exactly because all these
(04:03):
bums shown.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Up at the Now, that's what that's what that's what
really is in the fight that you want to Democrats say,
it's not going to cover health careful. It absolutely does. Absolutely,
these fact checkers, all these fake fact checkers, it absolutely does.
That's where it covers it. It reimburses the hospital for
all those costs and exactly.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
But there is a lot of costs like for example,
yesterday I had to go and see a new orthopedic surgeon.
I wasn't in the system, so I had to. So
when they when I made the appointment, the secretary told me,
you got to bring your insurance god, and you got
to bring positive ID you got to bring a driver's
(04:42):
license or a passport unless you're not going through the
front door, because they want to know that if you
don't pay, if some something is not paid out on,
they want to know where to bill you.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
All right, Vincent, great call, Thanks for calling. Always great.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
By the way, well we have to have a driver's license.
Well they've come out with a new driver's license now
with no name on it. It's a it'll actually say
where the name is. It'll say no name given. You
can have a blank driver's license with no name. This
is not a joke. Remind me. We'll get to it
in the next hour. But when we come back, Steve
Moore will be with us. The Brilliant Economist coming up
(05:19):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
