Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mar Simone.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
He's on sevento. Let's take some calls. Let's go to
Dave in Chicago. Dave, how you doing.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Good morning, Mark. I'm doing very well, Thank you Mark.
As we know in the mayor race, a lot of
people simply don't vote.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
They stay home. They blame bad weather.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Now, in the past, MTV did a promotion called Rock
the Vote, and I wanted to ask you two questions. Please,
First of all, was it successful? And second of all,
since MTV is not the entity that it used to be,
is there another platform to take its place.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yes, it's called Twitter, TikTok, it's called Instagram, it's called
social media. That's the new MTV. You know the problem
Rock Younger voters don't vote in big numbers, except that's
changing with this particular group. It's the people under thirty
that are going crazy supporting Mom Donny, and that's where
he's getting heavy turnout in this younger twenties. To these group,
(01:00):
they are total left wing. They love socialism. You can
blame these universities who about thirty years ago turned into
indoctrination camps. But this could be the key to the election.
The Blasio got elected because we only had like eighteen
percent turnout. If we get back to the old days
of eighty percent turnout, that could defeat Mom Donnie. It's
(01:22):
all about turnout, need lots of turnout. Problem is, you
don't really have a Republican party in New York. You
got a strong Democratic Party with an army of like
sixty five thousand people that goes out on an election day,
brings the people to the polls, knocks on doors. This
is called the ground game. Republican doesn't exist. They don't
have it. Let's go to Dolores and parsipity, Dolores, how
(01:43):
you doing.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
This is the first time I'm calling for seven ten,
but I'm listening to people talk about the national God
being sent here, there and everywhere.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Now, all these cities supposedly have money poured into them
to prevent crime.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
So if you follow the logic, if you prevent the crime,
all these programs are canceled.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
I would love to know how much money is spent
for preventing crime.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
And there you have the chicken all the eggs.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Well, it's more a case you got crazy, crazy left
wing mayors like this guy in Chicago, and the police
aren't allowed to do anything. They're totally restricted, handcuffed the police.
And then you got crazy left wingers like Andrew Cuomo
who put in that no bail, no jail, so even
if you were to arrest them, they're just back out
in the street. And take New York for instance, there's
(02:36):
only about twenty five hundred criminals, and police officials will
tell you they know who they are. If you told
them to, they could go round up these twenty five
hundred in a couple of weeks and that'd be the
end of the crime. It's basically what Giuliani did, but
because of these Cuomo no bail, no jail and left
wing kind of laws, you're not allowed to do it anymore.
Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing,
(02:58):
Good morning, Mark.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Yes, Mike, I don't understand. You know, the Republicans have
majorities in both parts of the Congress, and yet every
other day there seems to be a Republican hauled in
front of the Democrat part of the of the Senate
or the or the House, you know, to be spanked
in public, you know, and it's not about any results.
(03:21):
It's just about the Democrats smearing people directly and indirectly Trump,
you know, to put the stink on them, and and
it works because they're very good at the showmanship. And
no matter what pam MONDI doesn't, by.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
The way, they're not good at it. They think, I
think when people see bloominh on these slimy people. First
of all, most ninety percent of the public never even
sees it. But when you look at that, don't you
just cringe looking at these creepy old senators.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I do.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
They're horrifying, But you know, you know, but.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
It seems that they seem to be able to put
enough stink on people that people buy into it. You know,
I'm going to talk to a friend later on who
goes to the VA, and I guarantee you he's gonna
tell me Trump shut down the VA and I can't
get my benefits and I you know, and it's like
I just shake.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
My head, Well, that's true. It's not about logic. It's
just emotion. It's just emotional. It's a secret of propaganda.
You just keep repeating something over and over and over
and over again, and enough people start to believe it.
Let's go to Rich and Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you
doing Hey.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Thanks Mark. Two quick points. You know, the greatest thing
about Trump is he hires everybody who's exactly like Kim
Bondi cash for tell. Heg said, they all give it
to these people. They give it to them right back.
And if you know, you can't let the senator speak,
he's got no sound clip for his advertising. And you know,
you know, uh, what's his name of South Carolin, I'm
a senator down here. Lindsey Graham is a complete putts.
(04:42):
But he's screaming about Sue and Jack Smith. You know,
Congress gets where with murder, with smearing everybody in the world,
and nobody can sue anybody in Congress or the Assembly
or the Senator because they have this immunity. They can
say anything they want when rup they're speaking and smear
everybody in slander everybody, and there's no retribution against those people.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
That's a good point that should be changed that law.
Actually you can, I believe it, not slander, but you
can say anything you want standing on the floor of
Congress and you can't be sued. You have immunity that
actually should be taken away. Let's go to Stuart in
South Carolina. Stuart, how you doing Hey.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Mark, carry you. I was just gonna say Jack Smith
actually did with technology what Jay Edgar Hoover did blackmailing
people following him. He followed Martin Luther King, the Kennedys.
It was basically the same program, just different people at
a different time.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, it's Jack Smith. He could have a real legal
problem here. And thanks for calling Stuart. He he besides
the documents he was investigating January sixth. He'll claim that's
what he was doing here with these senators investigating January sixth,
and he got their phone records of everybody they called.
But apparently he also got all their GPS data to
(05:51):
see everywhere they went. That's where he's going to get
into trouble with the loss it. There was no reason
for there's no reason for any of this but getting
the GPS data, and nobody knows exactly the full extent
of what he got. He may have actually gotten transcripts,
he may have actually listened to calls. That's why you
need a total investigation and you need these lawsuits to
(06:11):
bring all that out. That Jack Smith is a dirty,
dirty prosecutor. You know, if you needed a special counsel
to go after Trump, there's about twenty five hundred people
you could have used right in DC, but they went
halfway around the world to the Hague to fly this
guy in. Because he's famous for being a hit man
for the left. He will do the dirty work. He's
(06:31):
run some of the dirtiest hit jobs ever and all
of them, by the way, the good news, all of
them have been overturned in court. All of his supposed successes. Hey,
when we come back. One of the great talk show
hosts in America, Howie Carr, will be with us next
on seven to ten wor
Mar Simone.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
