Speaker 1 (00:00):
If you're listening to Mark on the iHeart Radio app,
save time and tap the breset button. Now. Now back
to the Mark Simone Show on w o R. Did
you know there were casino protesters? You know, Hey, this
casino's bringing a lot of money. Casino protesters. No casino. No,

(00:21):
I don't know. Joe Peshi, Robert de Niro might come
out and see you there. I wouldn't protest the casino
too much. Anyway. Let's go to Wendy in Long Island. Wendy,
how you doing?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh yeah, hey there, good morning. So I don't really know.
I don't know all the frusters about the Starbucks employees.
Do you see the benefits these people get, college, health, fertility.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, the only thing, the only thing through the years
I don't know about now, but Starbucks has lied to
me a number of times through the years. You know,
they'll tell you every employee has stock, and every employee
has this. Every Then you go ask the employees. They
don't have any of that. So you gotta be careful.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
That's something to try about.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
But you don't put that noise. Then what's all that
noise in the background? Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well, I got my headstain on.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
No, where are you? Are you at home?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, no, I'm still a working person. Oh okay, all right,
you have my undivided attention.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Oh there, where are you in Long Island?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
So we're out here in Brentwood and uh Sunday Brentwood
and it's a nice day in the neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Oh okay, Well, thanks for calling. It's raining here and
let's go to Michael on the east side. Michael, how
you doing?

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Hey, Mark, you Mike Mourning Vitamins. I was reading about
the casino awards. Yes, I read you.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Sound like one of those guys at the slot machine
with a couple of quarters.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Now twenty dollars back, correct table. But many the events
I read all the way down at the end of
the article, it's said either each casino has to give
five hundred million or five hundred thousand. I couldn't visits.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
No, it's five hundred million, both believe it or not.
They've been approved to get a casino license. Now you
got to buy the license, whether it's a fee, you
pay a fee to get your license. The fees five
hundred million. So three casinos, that's one point five billion
in revenue right away. And then that's not to mention
twenty three thousand jobs will be created and billions of

(02:30):
dollars supposedly in revenue coming in every year. Let's go
to Daniel in Long Island. Daniel, how you doing, Good.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Morning Mark Mark. I have a comment about the second
bombing of the boats.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yes, you know, just every.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Time I hear the headline, I just can't help think
that we had I think we had captured and then
released some terrorists in the Middle East, and they came
back later with a real ax to grind and did
some real damage. I mean, you know you're going to
bomb the boat, bomb the boat exactly.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
You see, That's what I was saying. Good call Daniel, Yeah, yeah,
I see. I think for most people they don't understand
the issue. What is the democratic thinking here? One bomb
blowing up the boat, that's okay. Two that's being pushy.
That's a little pushy. So I would assume when these
planes fly over the boat, they are there to blow

(03:23):
the whole thing up. Just blow at the smithereens, just
blow it out of the water and that's it. So
if that's your mission, why would you object to the
second bomb? You know, That's like if a guy, God forbid,
takes out a gun and shoots somebody. That's like the
police saying, well, all right, you shot him once, but

(03:45):
you didn't have to shoot him twice. That's that second bullet.
We're resting here for the second bullet. Let's go to
Aerin in Indianapolis. Erin, how you doing good? Voarding?

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Mark? I have a grife about these Narco boats.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yes, we have it.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yeah, hit a boat with Greta Thunberg.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
All right, I don't know. I guess it's supposed to
be some sort of joke. Maybe in Indianapolis, I got
some big less Let me ask you a better question.
You're in Indiana. Is it snowing there?

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yes? It is and very cold, and.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
You got a lot of snow on the ground.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Not that much, maybe two or three inches right around there.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh okay, thanks for calling. Makes me feel better. Two
or three inches on the go, got nothing here. It's
a little torizling a little See. That's the thing. When
you get you live there, two or three inches is nothing.
You feel that it's nothing. If this were Manhattan, two
or three inches everything would close for two days.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
When we come back, Ed Rollins will be with us.
The Dean himself will not to talk about. We'll get
to twenty twenty six, the elections. We'll get to why
all these crazy left wing Democrats are taken over. It's
not just mom, Donnie, it's happening all over the place.
We'll get to that and more just ahead on seven
to ten WR
