o R.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Well, let's take some calls. Let's go to uh Rich
and Myrtle Beach.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Rich.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
How you doing.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Cold 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 from California
(00:33):
who's just passed away. Uh, you know these people. 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 all, well.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
That's the argument that was the original idea. Citizen legislatures
comes sir for a while. Go back. You're right, 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 termline, so they're not going to vote for they're
not going to urm limit themselves out this. Yeah, but
you're right, there's got to be a way to do it.
(01:05):
Let's go to uh Mara in Nevada. Mara, how you
doing so good?
Speaker 5 (01:10):
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. Course, Vincent's honorary that means your seventy.
You're in your seventies, so Salas.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
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 5 (01:32):
Wait, Mark, here's why I called Yeah, imagine an ugly,
ugly thing is going to happen. July fourth, twenty twenty sixth,
the anniversary of our beloved with the United States and
my beloved New York City, which was the first capital
which George Washington was inaugurated Fnce's tavern. George Washington said
(01:55):
goodbye to the Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Mark, 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, Good morning, Mark.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
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 Epstein stuff again, as you pointed out, and then
it'll go back to Ice being Nazis again.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And the Republicans are always left with this Mondani election.
You would think you would hear something to do. Fact,
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 going to be like, oh, well, you're going
to try to get along with them and see make
do when I'm upon if And it's just amazing the
(02:53):
two different parties the way they Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No, advocate, you're right, but the Republican argument is you
don't want to behave Democrats, you don't want to get
like that.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, and because you would win.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Now, I mean the argument if you can't remember, mostly
said protesters they don't work, they've got 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 a
For Republicans, they're busy with work and family and everything else.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I'd like to see them be a little bit more aggressive.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
All right, now, you're not wrong, you're not wrong. Let's
go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Mark? I got a real healthcare bobum. The other day
I had a heart attack, and.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I, oh, I hope you're okay.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
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 (04:02):
What something? Most importantly? Are you all right now? Are
you okay?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Sure, I am fine.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm just You're gonna.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Take care of yourself now. You're gonna eat better, sleep more,
no smoking, no drinking.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
You didn't think that was funny at all to put
me down?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Oh it was a joke, all right. Anyway, thanks for calling.
Let's go to uh Shelley and Long Island. Shelley. How
you doing.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Yeah, hey, Mark, love the show about the Stephonic and
Bruce Blakeman going against each other.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Possibly, don't you.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
Think that at least Stephonic would be better to go
up against Hocal woman to woman. We really need to
win New York. We don't need these two in fighting.
And my second question is Trump. Is Trump aware of
the Islamification going on across our nation?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, of course he is. Yeah, Now this can be
an interesting fight Stephonic Bruce Blakeman. The convention is I
think in February, the convention, they decide who they're gonna
go with. Yes, Stefanic could be great. She's great at
attacking Hocal. You saw her local in those congressional hearings.
(05:15):
She's really good at taking on Hokele. 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. Stefanic would do better upstate.
And it's a good problem to have two great candidates.
(05:38):
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
Z whie 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.
(06:02):
It's Uh, we'll get into why when, 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 ten w O R.
Let's get back to the Mark Simone show on w
o R.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
