Transcript
00:00:00.000
Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and this is The Great America Show. Welcome to the show,
00:00:06.280
and of course, we'll be talking politics and about many of the absurdities of our life here
00:00:11.500
in America as well. Those subjects often can be one and the same. These are indeed difficult
00:00:17.720
times. America isn't a perfect place in perfect harmony, as we've all noticed. But it's also true
00:00:24.220
that we sometimes are the partial architects of our mistakes, conflicts, and sometimes misery.
00:00:30.920
For example, who do we blame for Joe Biden? So many people share some responsibility,
00:00:37.700
starting, of course, with Joe Biden himself, his wife, Jill, who insists on being called Dr. Jill,
00:00:44.120
the puppet masters who decided to put them in the White House, the Marxist Dems, and the liberal
0.58
00:00:50.340
wing of the Republican Party, the RINOs, closer to Dems than the GOP, but still, they're in the
00:00:57.520
party, and usually party leaders. We don't have many leaders, true leaders in Washington,
00:01:03.780
but we still prize them when they emerge or burst into view like Elon Musk. Elon Musk is saving Twitter
00:01:11.540
and free speech at the same time. But the Marxists left within Twitter are not at all grateful for
00:01:18.220
their salvation. They're in what is the right phrase here? Buttercup meltdown at the prospect of no
00:01:25.560
longer being employed by an authoritarian Marxist left force in America's body politic. They can't
00:01:32.920
seem to celebrate freedom of speech, fair, and balance. They want to destroy Republicans and
00:01:39.440
conservatives, period, full stop. They will no longer be, of course, warriors for American authoritarianism.
00:01:46.960
They'll have to settle now for being employees of the most successful businessman in history.
00:01:53.220
Brilliant, a free spirit, an original mind, and responsible for founding and managing SpaceX,
00:01:59.820
the most successful private space launch company in history, and Tesla, the most successful electric
00:02:06.900
vehicle manufacturing company in the world, ever. Elon is also the richest man in the world.
00:02:14.180
Do you notice I call a man I never met by his first name? He is also unpretentious, highly relatable,
00:02:21.720
and has an always on display sense of humor that makes you forget that Elon Musk is also a man
00:02:29.200
who not only has made history, but is now a historical figure. Edison, J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller,
00:02:37.380
Carnegie, Ford, and Musk, or if you prefer, Elon. And now he's in a battle with the federal bureaucracy
00:02:46.140
and the Marxist left. And he, as far as I know, is a political agnostic, but an American citizen who knows
00:02:53.720
his rights, his history, and also his place in history. And that place is getting bigger, it seems,
00:03:00.520
every year. That's great for Elon and America. And speaking of great Americans, our guest today
00:03:08.160
is my favorite radio talk show host, a broadcasting legend who hosts the Mark Simone Show on WOR,
00:03:15.960
syndicated nationally, but who we call Mr. New York, because that's who he is. Mark, great to have you
00:03:22.680
back with us on the Great America Show. And now the great Mark Simone. Mark, great to have you with us
00:03:29.380
again. Good to have you on the Great America Show. Great to be on. I listen all the time. Well, thank you
00:03:35.280
for that. We appreciate it so much. And I want to start with this, I don't know what to call it, this sort
00:03:41.800
of dissonance in the universe for the Republican Party. Kevin McCarthy, everything that keeps coming out
00:03:49.000
about him, the audio tapes. You wonder why in the world anybody hasn't already escorted him out of
00:03:56.300
the building that is the figurative building, where the GOP house members live, and removing from
00:04:04.640
leadership. What do you think? Who's going to remove them? They're all just as bad. They're all horrible.
00:04:12.320
I love the way they make this the biggest story, the opening story on the news, this explosive recording,
00:04:19.000
if there's a conversation of Kevin McCarthy and Liz Cheney, you can't even stay awake, let alone be
00:04:23.820
explosive. I mean, who's going to listen to that? I got to be honest. It's exactly what I expected out
00:04:29.900
of Kevin McCarthy. He panicked. He told her whatever she wanted to hear. That's the swamp. They say
00:04:34.980
whatever they got to say to sit in power. Well, and now you're hurting my feelings because we started
00:04:42.040
with Kevin McCarthy, just like everybody else did, says Mark Simone. That's hurtful. That's hurtful,
00:04:49.500
Mark. It's also true. I am really taken by the story, though, because I really didn't expect,
00:04:57.860
you know, whatever he did with Liz Cheney. I personally, I could care less. She is a Democrat,
1.00
00:05:04.200
and he's a treacherous rhino, which is worse than, I think, a Democrat many times. So that doesn't
0.87
00:05:12.880
surprise me. What does surprise me is the sort of fourth-grade nonsense talking about, well,
00:05:19.420
what did he say? And, oh, no, we can't have that. And he said this. And talking about Louis
00:05:24.600
Gohmert doing this or that. There isn't anything Louis Gohmert has ever said that wasn't, you know,
00:05:31.180
interesting and sometimes provocative, but it's not exactly something you'd want to burn a building
00:05:37.180
down over. And in this case, the Capitol, because he is a good guy, a great American. And he can be
00:05:45.540
funny as the Dickens. Kevin McCarthy hasn't got a sense of humor anywhere in his soul.
00:05:52.260
Yeah. So we don't know what was really going on because this is being leaked out by these left-wing
00:05:56.740
reporters. Maybe there's just as much audio of Kevin McCarthy in another conversation saying,
00:06:01.020
we love Donald Trump. He could never resign. He should stay. I have a feeling he just tells
00:06:05.200
anybody what they want to hear. It depends who's on the phone, but they're selectively leaking out
00:06:09.720
what they want to leak out. Well, that's, that is absolutely true. And they are left-wing
00:06:14.880
reporters indeed. But at the same time, we have a few problems in the Republican side, even without
00:06:22.280
McCarthy. Do you think he should resign? Tell me, can you, do you want to get into this one?
00:06:27.280
Well, you know, I, I, again, I'm not a big fan, but, uh, uh, who are you going to replace them
00:06:33.900
with? I mean, who's, who would you trust in that job in the Congress? Uh, that was the thing about
00:06:38.160
Donald Trump. He wasn't from the swamp. He wasn't a politician. He said what he thought. You, at least,
00:06:42.920
you know, where he stood on everything. These guys, you don't know where they stand on anything.
00:06:46.760
Uh, I like Rand Paul. I like a few of these guys because at least they're honest, love them or hate
00:06:52.360
them. At least they're honest. Yeah. I agree with you about Rand Paul. I agree with you about, I agree
00:06:57.340
that, uh, Jim Jordan is in that, uh, that Jordan. Yeah. He's a terrific guy, uh, and would make a
00:07:03.560
wonderful speaker. Uh, if somebody told me, uh, who I wouldn't want his name bandied around, uh, he said
00:07:11.260
he doesn't think that, uh, that, uh, that Jordan would take on that job because of all of the people
00:07:17.980
he had have to manage. Uh, he thinks that'd be a very frustrating job for, for Jim Jordan,
00:07:23.280
which is, which would be, I'm sure for anyone. I, it's just what it is, but we've got to have leaders
00:07:28.520
who are principled, who've got some guts, uh, who represent the, the, the American people.
00:07:34.440
What does McCarthy represent? He represents the democratic party. Uh, that's not a very fair
00:07:39.980
negotiation when, when he and, and house speaker Pelosi get together. Uh, yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
00:07:46.380
And yes, ma'am is about all that you would hear from him. Yeah. It's a thankless job. You know,
00:07:51.100
if you're the president or governor, you're the CEO, you order these people around there,
00:07:55.880
your employees, they do what you tell them to do. If you're in the Congress, you have no power over
00:07:59.840
anybody. You got to beg and plead for votes. You got to maneuver and pander and do all that stuff.
00:08:04.840
I don't know how anybody survives in that job. Look at the guys that last the longest Chuck Schumer.
00:08:09.380
Does anybody know what he stands for? He doesn't even know. He doesn't even care. He'd just say
00:08:14.840
whatever he's got to say to stay there. Oh, you are so right. I've had a few experiences with, uh,
00:08:20.900
uh, Senator Schumer and he is, he is quite a, uh, he's quite a boy. Uh, he, I don't know that he's
00:08:29.260
a model for much of anything though. Uh, he's a model for total insincerity. He puts on a cheap sport
00:08:36.220
coat, those little glasses, and he reads the index cards at his press conference and goes home.
00:08:41.440
He disappears. Have you noticed he's not around for it? I I I'm not really sure he it's as if he's
00:08:48.440
letting Mitch McConnell do all the talking because, uh, that means his job will be safe because
00:08:53.380
McConnell is sinking the Republican boat and floating the, the democratic boat. Uh, how could
00:08:59.920
you do better than that? Yeah. He's like me in school, sitting in the back of the class and hope
00:09:04.120
the teacher doesn't see you just stay out of the way. Let it all go rolling by. Well, let's talk
00:09:11.860
about, uh, the president's reaction to all of this. Uh, his reaction is it's frankly reminiscent of
00:09:18.680
Mark Simone's. He says McCarthy does Trump is fine and quietly moves to tamp down the fallout after
00:09:26.420
damaging audio revealing January six views. Uh, it was a lot more than that, but that really is the
00:09:32.500
essence of it. What do you think? Well, yeah, I mean, obviously this was leaked for one purpose
00:09:38.040
to make it look like there's a civil war in the Republican party and Donald Trump isn't going to
00:09:42.200
let these liberal reporters have that kind of satisfaction. Uh, and I'm sure Kevin McCarthy was
00:09:47.280
on the phone with them one second later, apologizing, and they've got some kind of agreement between the
00:09:52.320
two of them. So, uh, I, I think, uh, McCarthy is useful to Trump right now, uh, until there's a big
00:10:00.400
takeover in November, then everything changes. Yeah. I, I just, as I'm sitting here watching this
00:10:07.080
campaign unfold, I'm worrying about whether or not the Republicans have got the wave strength that
00:10:12.700
they're supposed to, according to the strategist and the pollsters. And at the same time, Trump not,
00:10:19.440
uh, accepting McCarthy. I mean, that's terrible. And some of the endorsements that Trump is making,
00:10:25.380
I really have serious questions about, uh, your reaction to endorsements on primary candidates by
00:10:33.080
a president. Well, uh, you know, his argument is, uh, they may not be what you want in the primary,
00:10:39.460
but I'm picking who can win in the general. And in some cases, there's just a law, you know,
00:10:43.740
he's always been close to Dr. Oz. There's a, there's a loyalty there to him. And, uh, J.D. Vance,
00:10:50.500
he's got his reasons why he likes him. Uh, you know, one thing about Trump, you can never, ever,
00:10:55.660
ever figure it out. It's like, uh, uh, you know, it's, it's like something, one of those animals,
0.66
00:11:02.160
it just never stops moving. You never know what direction it's going to go in next. Uh, it's just
00:11:06.680
to fool you, but, uh, uh, his endorsements are still important. He hasn't turned the race around
00:11:11.200
in Pennsylvania though. Oz still, uh, neck and neck or trailing him depending on the poll. So we'll see
00:11:17.180
if that endorsement really means anything there. Yeah, that's, it's a strange, it's a strange
00:11:22.380
circumstance there. You've got several candidates splitting the vote a little more there. I think
00:11:27.120
than people expected, uh, Kathy Burnett up against the, uh, the two guys that, you know, the powerhouses
0.87
00:11:33.500
in their own right, uh, wall street and, uh, uh, and you know, Dr. Oz on television, it's really an
00:11:41.580
interesting race. And it, and as you say, there's, there's no clear, uh, uh, winner here
00:11:46.900
and a lot of surprises could still lay in wait. I think that, I think that, uh, primary
00:11:51.940
is, uh, early May. Uh, yeah, we'll see. They had the first debate. It wasn't great. And
00:11:58.860
you know, if you're a Pennsylvania resident, you love your state, you realize the two top
00:12:02.940
candidates, neither of them been in Pennsylvania for 40 years. One's a Washington swamp guy.
00:12:08.060
The other's a TV doctor and they just showed up a month ago run. So I don't know what that
00:12:12.560
says about Pennsylvania. That says the, you know, that they've got some itinerant politicians.
00:12:19.320
Uh, well, it'll be fun to see what happens, but you know, looking over at Ohio, a lot of
00:12:25.940
fun there. That's unexpected. I think, and I'm pretty sure the president's surprised by the
00:12:30.680
strength of the opposition to his endorsement of JD Vance. I mean, it is a real, it is a real
00:12:37.080
pot boiler of a story and it's, it's not going to get any better because, uh, the, the state
00:12:45.500
over half, over half of their delegates to the Republican national committee and convention
00:12:51.840
are the ones saying, please, Mr. President, don't interfere in this. We're pushing, uh,
00:12:57.660
Josh Mandel, a very popular candidate at running ahead in the polls, uh, until he threw his
00:13:04.800
endorsement behind JD Vance. And they're very upset. And, uh, and I'm talking with the, one of
00:13:11.020
his lawyers on television and she's, you know, she's insisting that this isn't top down politics.
00:13:17.820
And I'm suggesting that this is telling the grassroots to go to hell when you've got this
00:13:22.220
going on your thoughts. Well, you know, there's another factor. And I love Donald Trump. He was a
00:13:26.620
great president. It's got so many qualities, but everybody's got their flaws and he was never,
00:13:31.840
uh, the very best at picking people, you know, uh, Jeff Sessions, for example, uh, Rex Tellerson,
00:13:39.000
well, you get the picture. I mean, there were some strange choices at all points in his political
00:13:43.740
career. And there's a little of that going on here. Yeah, I, I think you're right. And I,
00:13:48.640
and I said to his lawyer, I said very straightforwardly, you know, he's, I love his politics. Uh, excuse me.
00:13:56.780
I love his policies, but I don't love his politics because he seems to get the, the personnel part,
00:14:03.280
just sometimes just a little, uh, upside down. And I can't figure it till this is a smart,
00:14:09.360
smart guy, obviously a great, uh, a great guy. Uh, and sometimes I don't think he can read people
00:14:17.020
the best. Well, he was kind of like that in his own company. There was some strange
00:14:20.840
hirings there, but it was because he was kind of a one-man show. He was hands-on and ran everything
00:14:25.880
himself. So, uh, that's why he was able to get away with it. Government. It's a different story.
00:14:30.840
Yeah, absolutely. It's a different story. I want to turn to another, a different story,
00:14:35.040
if you will. The department of Homeland security is creating, are you ready for this? I'm sure you're
00:14:41.200
aware of it. I didn't know we still had that department. It's still there. Well, they,
00:14:45.500
they have a, I think they have a one day work week. Uh, but when it comes to border security,
00:14:51.120
certainly an immigration, but they've set up this disinformation governance board to fight
00:14:56.080
misinformation. And you think to yourself, what agency besides the intelligence, uh, group and the
00:15:03.140
FBI, uh, and the white house to put out more, uh, misinformation than Homeland security for crying
00:15:10.820
out loud. Your reaction? Uh, you know, uh, you grow up just admiring all these people, the CIA and our
00:15:17.880
intelligence and our FBI, but over the last few years, you look at our FBI directors, uh, you look
00:15:23.380
at our intelligence, uh, CIA, they seem to get everything wrong. How come we didn't know that
00:15:27.940
Putin's army was a primitive and, uh, uh, like a little league army. We don't know anything in
00:15:33.460
department of Homeland security. People are coming in left and right from everywhere. Uh, we don't know
00:15:38.760
what's going on half the time. The ports are all clogged up. You'd think the, uh, Homeland security
00:15:42.480
would be concerned about that too. Uh, so I, I really don't have a lot of faith. I mean,
00:15:47.640
it's a tribute to this country that we survive these bumbling agencies.
00:15:51.980
Well, and we spend untold black budgets, but billions and billions, tens of billions of dollars
00:15:59.240
every year, uh, to get back assessments from our intelligence services, but they never seem to know
00:16:05.560
anything. We're, we're sitting there with perfect imagery come from our satellites, showing us,
00:16:11.140
uh, one line of trucks, one line of tanks all across the border, uh, with between Ukraine and
00:16:18.400
Russia. Now they've got 200,000 troops there from Belarus to Moldova and still no word. As a matter
00:16:25.700
of fact, they're all arguing in the white house about when the invasion comes, then the invasion
00:16:29.980
comes, uh, after it's, it was the strangest three or four months I've ever seen looking at all that
00:16:38.100
buildup and the United States doesn't do a thing. It's almost like the United States. And by the
00:16:43.180
United States, I mean this white house, the Biden white house and the genius military leaders and
00:16:48.920
the Pentagon wanted a war. I, I, and the intelligence agencies, it doesn't, nothing else seems to make
00:16:55.560
sense. Yeah. You know, you talk to people on the inside and they tell you the intelligence department
00:16:59.520
actually has no intelligence. All they have is technology. All they have is satellites. They
00:17:03.600
can count how many tanks they can count, uh, soldiers, see where they are, but they don't
00:17:08.120
know anything. They don't know when they're going to move. They don't know that they're all young kids
00:17:11.820
and they're conscripts and there's an alcohol problem and they don't have a proper command
00:17:15.880
structure. So we don't know what's going on there. We can just look from above and count things,
00:17:19.960
but we have no idea on movement on a strategy. We just, our intelligence knows nothing.
00:17:25.340
When you first heard about the invasion, did you think, okay, this is going to take about three
00:17:31.280
days. This is the vaunted remnants of the Soviet era, uh, uh, military and it's going, I, I, you
0.90
00:17:38.680
know, feeling very sorry for the Ukrainians because this is going to be over in, in days. Uh, not
00:17:45.200
certainly no one dreamed this thing was going to go three months, at least none of the military
00:17:48.860
analysts I talked with. Yeah. Cause we didn't know anything, you know, I don't go by me. I used to
00:17:53.800
watch those military parades in front of the Kremlin with the way they would march. And those
00:17:57.780
tanks were so impressive. Now you see them in the field, rockets in the field, the tires don't work.
00:18:03.880
There's so much corruption. The tires weren't made properly. They're all blowing out. They tried to
00:18:08.220
come in on four fronts. They couldn't manage the supply lines. They don't have a commander. They
00:18:12.760
don't have sergeants. They don't have any, uh, colonels or captains. So when the, uh, convoy got bogged
00:18:18.420
down, the general himself has to get out and walk up to the front. And that's why all these generals got
00:18:23.300
bombed. They're right there in the front, getting, uh, in the middle of everything. So we had no idea
00:18:28.240
about all this. Obviously we don't have any spies that know anything about that army.
00:18:33.080
And if you don't have human, human, human intelligence, I like to do that. Just to show
00:18:39.560
I've been to Washington once or twice. Uh, what, what is the point of this? What is that budget buying?
00:18:46.300
Uh, but you know, more nonsense and more spying on presidents and attempts. They spent more time
00:18:53.160
trying to overthrow Donald Trump than they ever considered, uh, spending to overthrow Putin or
00:18:58.940
Xi Jinping. I mean, how crazy is that? Well, then I'm watching these news reports about Putin's mental
00:19:03.960
condition, his physical condition. Look at the way he holds the desk. He's shaking the media covering
00:19:08.940
this left and how, how come they don't do this with Joe Biden? The guy's bumping into walls,
00:19:12.420
doesn't know where he is. Let's hear about his medical condition.
00:19:18.100
You're exactly right. I mean, if they gave the same treatment to Biden, he'd be out of there in a
00:19:23.360
week. Uh, but they're not going to do that because they don't have anybody, uh, doctoring picture
00:19:28.560
of pictures for Biden or do they, I don't know. Maybe they do. Uh, this left wing, uh, Twitter war
00:19:36.540
that is, uh, that, uh, Elon Musk has launched is, is, is really funny to watch because all of these
00:19:44.320
little buttercup daffodil sensitive, who knows what, uh, noun to throw in there, uh, let alone
00:19:52.680
pronoun, uh, for those folks, they're crying, they're weeping. Uh, the lawyer, their top lawyer for
00:20:00.460
Twitter is the deal is done is breaks down in tears for crying out loud. These are the people
00:20:06.280
banning, suspending, crushing lives and, and existence on Twitter with, with abandon. And
00:20:12.880
suddenly now they're going to get a big check because of a change of control and a takeover
00:20:17.480
is a Elon Musk takes it private and they're balling. They're balling Mark. What am I going to make of
00:20:24.200
that? That's the fun part of it. Now we're going to go into phase two, which is they're going to try
00:20:29.120
to, they're going to try to Donald Trump, Elon Musk. They're going to try to take him out.
00:20:33.280
They're going to paint him as a racist. They're going to try to make him a criminal. They're
0.51
00:20:36.540
going to try to indict him. You know, they started the first day by saying he doesn't pay his fair
00:20:40.800
share. He doesn't pay taxes. Uh, he paid 11 billion last year. That's the single biggest payment
00:20:45.840
ever in American history. Right. So, uh, now they've started the racist stuff. They're looking for
00:20:51.040
racist things in his past. Uh, they'll do what they did to Trump. They'll, the attorney generals
00:20:56.760
will go after him. Uh, the white house will go after him, the justice department, the sec,
00:21:01.080
the FTC, they'll send everything after him and try to criminalize him. And I hope he's,
00:21:05.420
I hope I'm sure he's a smart guy. I'm sure he knows that. And I'm sure he's ready for it.
00:21:09.260
This is not a fair fight just to be very straightforward about this. Uh, Elon Musk versus
00:21:15.420
the sec. Are you kidding me? Those are nothing more than left-wing activists. And they're married
1.00
00:21:21.420
to various people in the, uh, in the FBI who've got some interesting backgrounds.
00:21:26.980
This is, you know, people should think about this. I think Mark, remember the first volley
00:21:33.140
from, from Elon Musk on Twitter's management and their resistance to his buyout, which he did very
00:21:41.580
nicely put a real nice number on it. A number that company wouldn't see in his stock, uh, you know,
00:21:46.840
for years. And guess what the, what he did, he laid out the fact that the entire board of directors
00:21:54.560
aside from the CEO, and of course, Jack Dorsey, uh, had like 50 shares of stock between them.
00:22:03.580
And they're supposed to be representing the shareholders to have aligned interest with
00:22:07.740
a shareholder, uh, and be managing that company, that CEO. And clearly that's one of the reasons
00:22:15.320
that that place has been so dysfunctional for so many years and has been a disaster.
00:22:20.260
The stock is a disappointment to wall street and all investors. It is, uh, it's like a sinecure
00:22:25.880
for left wing, uh, uh, pencil neck, uh, buttercups. I don't know what to say about it. It's just
00:22:33.180
for them to be crying about it on top of that. Really? Really? Well, you know, when you say
00:22:39.240
board of directors, most people are picturing a Lee Iacocca, Warren Buffett. You ever see the
00:22:43.060
board of directors? It's a bunch of 26 year olds in t-shirts in San Francisco that, uh, they're not,
00:22:49.380
they're no match for the greatest entrepreneur in American history, uh, Elon Musk. And I know that
00:22:54.320
Jack Dorsey is his secret consultant Dorsey, not happy about he's the founder of Twitter and he's
00:22:59.980
not happy about what happened. Well, they've treated, you know, I look, I've got no sympathy
00:23:04.120
for Jack Dorsey. He's a left winger to the highest degree and has made some beautiful mistakes in his
00:23:11.040
day, uh, amongst them, the treatment, uh, the treatment of the New York post, uh, the, the
00:23:17.240
banning, uh, uh, everyone who touched that story, uh, on Hunter Biden and the laptop, the steel
00:23:24.280
curtain came down from Silicon Valley through, uh, every corporate owned news outlet in the
00:23:30.760
country. I mean, he's not a, he's not a, uh, a wonderful exemplary model, uh, for fair and
00:23:36.800
balanced and, uh, objective, uh, you know, impartial, uh, platforms. But on the other
00:23:44.060
hand, uh, to see what they've done to this company, uh, they have one guy who could fix
00:23:51.160
it. And as direct Dorsey said it very well, he, he said that Elon Musk is the singular,
00:23:58.760
the singular choice that he would make to save that company. And I think he's exactly
00:24:03.800
right. There's just no, it's just, it's not a, it's not a
00:24:06.800
fair fight. It's also a whole network of stuff. Uh, Democrats created this whole infrastructure
00:24:12.360
of nonsense. You know, they created these fact-checking sites that are totally rigged
0.61
00:24:16.500
and totally biased. PolitiFact, uh, factcheck.org. Somebody's got to get in there and straighten
00:24:21.540
those out. Even the Washington post, uh, uh, fact checker, they're just ridiculously biased
00:24:27.400
and they use that as a excuse to take you off Twitter or Facebook still uses. They'll put
00:24:32.580
up the thing from the fact-checking site. You lied and that's it. You're off.
00:24:36.100
He's, he's, he's got to do something about those two, uh, buy those. And, uh, by the
00:24:40.880
way, Disney is, I think it's only 165 billion. He could buy that and still have 75 billion
00:24:47.580
And that would sure please the people in Florida because they're, they've had a belly
00:24:50.840
full of the management of Disney now after poor Bob Chapik was talked into, uh, by the,
00:24:57.720
uh, the woke crowd to get involved in parental rights. That's by the way, one of the great
00:25:02.860
tells right now in this highly nuanced media of ours. If you, if they refer to the law in
00:25:09.920
Florida, as they don't say gay law, that means they're lefties to the bone. Uh, if they refer
0.99
00:25:16.340
to it as parental rights, that means they're traditional, they're conservative and on the
00:25:21.220
side of truth, justice, and the American way, as we are on this podcast. Uh, I think it's,
00:25:27.600
I think it's in some ways hilarious to watch what is happening with the impact of
00:25:32.960
wokeness on America. Yeah. You know, there's one Twitter employee, there's a place where
00:25:38.060
they're all posting their comments, but this Twitter employee identifies himself. Here it
00:25:42.300
is as a, he's a non-binary transgender and plural person. Now I don't know what the hell
1.00
00:25:48.780
that is. I have no idea. How do you explain that to a six-year-old in school? I had enough
00:25:53.900
trouble with algebra. I would never understand this. Well, by the way, that's what would have
00:25:59.340
been going on. They would have been explaining that in school in Florida, uh, for young people,
00:26:05.500
five to nine, having discussions about, uh, gender and sex. Uh, who wants that? What parent in his or
00:26:15.040
her right mind wants a teacher explaining that to their children? It's just, it's insane. They're years
00:26:22.760
away from the age of reason, let alone, uh, you know, uh, you know, simple algebra, uh, what in
00:26:29.980
the world would they want to do? Uh, how can they even justify it? It's beyond to me comprehension.
00:26:36.180
A good rule is if any adult anywhere talks to your six-year-old about anything, sex or sexuality,
00:26:42.980
call the police immediately. We have laws already to cover it. It's well said. Uh, so where do we end up
00:26:50.360
with, uh, with Twitter? Because I have to tell you, I've had a bunch of followers added. Uh, I have,
00:26:57.980
uh, over 2 million, uh, followers on Twitter, but we've, we've been getting them in, uh, by, I don't
00:27:06.440
know, I guess five or 6,000 every, uh, every, I don't know, three to five hours. It's been amazing.
00:27:13.580
Yeah. It's not just you. It turns out it's everybody. I've been gaining a thousand every two
00:27:17.120
everybody has been getting their followers back, which is conclusive, absolute proof that they were
00:27:22.760
tampering with, uh, everything. And they used to argue that they're Russian bots. Has anybody ever
00:27:27.640
actually seen a Russian bot? And, uh, if there was such a thing as a Russian bot, why would I be
00:27:32.720
following it? Who would be following it? Yeah. And I, I've never quite understood that either.
00:27:37.860
A Russian bot, but there are no Chinese bots. Come on, come on. You know, there are no Iranian bots.
0.77
00:27:44.100
I don't, I don't mind buying all that. You can't keep putting it all on Russia. I know it's the thing
00:27:49.760
to do in America for the last seven years, Russian bots, Russian hoaxes. It's all, you know, it's all
00:27:56.080
good. Meanwhile, China is taking over the world. Uh, but let's worry about Russia right now. Uh, what
0.77
00:28:03.040
do you make, you know, since we're in such a light mood here, why don't we turn to the Ukrainian,
00:28:07.300
uh, well, it's the Russian war on Ukraine, not the Ukrainian war, uh, to seize the Linsky. Now he
00:28:14.820
is, you know, I, I get a kick out of the guy. He's telling people how it is. Uh, he's talking to, uh,
00:28:21.280
Blinken, the secretary of state, uh, and Austin, the secretary of defense is saying, don't you come
00:28:26.940
over here empty-handed? He's, he's telling them, bring me the goodies right now. That's it.
00:28:33.720
There wasn't a, it wasn't a threat. It wasn't an ultimatum. It was the only channel available to
00:28:39.020
them. Uh, come on over and we're going to have fun with whatever you bring me. Uh, and, and
00:28:44.760
apparently that's exactly what he got. Yeah. Well, Zelensky is Churchill in a t-shirt. He is an
00:28:50.140
incredible, uh, courageous hero. And he knows that Blinken is a mediocre middle management, uh,
00:28:57.040
worthless guy as in, uh, Lloyd Austin. You saw what a great job they did with the Afghan withdrawal.
00:29:02.440
They're two bumbling idiots. And I understand what he was saying. He's saying, don't come over here
1.00
00:29:07.340
and think you're going to get some credit for a photo opportunity. If you don't have weapons,
00:29:11.140
I'm not going to say anything nice about you after you leave. So, uh, and they should be giving
00:29:15.540
him weapons. We have as much at stake here as anybody else does. Yeah. And Blinken, I was told by a lot of
00:29:23.560
people who knew that Blinken shouldn't have even been in the national security team, uh, that he was just,
00:29:29.760
just not up to par, uh, as a talent, uh, Lloyd Austin. I haven't heard anyone say, you know,
00:29:37.160
I'm sure glad he went out and got Lloyd Austin to be secretary of defense. I feel safer. Uh, and I
00:29:42.600
think one of the reasons is he speaks in cliches, uh, Lloyd Austin actually said yesterday that he,
00:29:50.980
he wanted everybody to understand that in nuclear war, no one wins. Uh, I, I thought that was one of the
00:29:58.580
interesting statements. I don't, you mean unleashing nuclear weapons on both countries
00:30:05.300
without limit. Uh, it's not good for us. Okay. Uh, it just is the secretary of defense. I want to
00:30:11.880
know how you're going to stop those guys and win that war. I don't want to be told, uh, we're starting
00:30:17.040
out with mutually assured destruction. You tell me how you're going to win and why you have spent the
00:30:22.300
last 50 years, not knowing, learning how to win. Well, let's bear in mind, this is a guy, uh, in
00:30:28.680
Afghanistan where there was no fighting of any kind. All he had to do was withdraw lost. Even that he
00:30:35.300
couldn't win. He made a mess of that. How do you screw that up? And he hadn't even been in the job
00:30:40.600
for a year. I mean, this is a guy who, as you say, he lost and Biden, he was in a hurry,
00:30:49.900
what I don't quite get though is Ukraine because they knew when they started asking Ukraine to join
00:30:58.400
NATO back in the fall of 2021, that that was a red line for Vladimir Putin and that he had said
00:31:07.900
he won't stand for it. And they kept telling Ukraine, come on in and join NATO. And, and Blinken says,
00:31:15.240
no, we don't believe that had anything to do with it, but he has no other explanation for what
00:31:20.420
caused Putin to cross the invade that country. Yeah. I mean, we don't have any actual working
00:31:27.620
media here. If we did, they'd be all over this. Uh, you could find 10 reasons that, uh, the Biden
00:31:32.760
administration caused this. Hey, not to mention, speaking of Afghanistan, we left 78 billion in
00:31:37.840
state-of-the-art weapons there. Uh, when it just put a half a tank of gas in those planes,
00:31:42.640
we could have flown them over to Ukraine at the time. We could have just given that all to Ukraine
0.99
00:31:46.380
and what a difference that would have made in this fight. Absolutely. And, uh, I, I just, I,
00:31:54.760
I can't believe that there's no energy expended by that media at all. We know now, thanks to the
00:32:00.640
reporting, the New York post Miranda Devine, uh, and of course the great Peter Schweitzer, uh,
00:32:06.980
and his book, uh, red handed, uh, on the Chinese Biden corruption. It's why isn't there more reporting
00:32:15.440
on the Biden corruption? Well, it's pretty obvious what happened. You know, Biden's in the history of
00:32:21.780
all these lies, one lie after this is his single greatest lie that he never talked to his son's
00:32:27.640
business partners. We've got a picture of them playing golf together. You spend four hours on a
00:32:32.260
golf course with somebody who don't talk about business. Uh, we now find out the story about
00:32:36.120
the business partner coming to the white house 19 times. Isn't true. It was actually 27 times.
00:32:41.620
If you do have any guy that's ever come to your office 27 times that you didn't talk business with.
00:32:46.820
And, uh, we, we have a picture of Joe Biden going to the cafe Milano, the big hotspot in Washington,
00:32:52.780
DC to meet the 12 business partners in a back room for two hours. He says he didn't know who they,
00:32:58.720
who could they have been, uh, Hunter's classmates. They're all 20 years older and they don't even
00:33:03.140
speak English. He didn't know who they were. Well, I love this. Uh, the, the Biden, Joe Biden's
00:33:11.640
ethics disclosure omits $5.1 million in a tax filing. And they just noticed this, there's $5 million
00:33:21.180
missing. And as somebody said, you know, the big guy is supposed to get 10%. So that could be 50
00:33:30.480
million in the family coffers right there, uh, represented. And we've got a four year investigation
00:33:37.760
going in Delaware where the issue is tax evasion. Uh, it's still no answer. Do you think the Biden
00:33:46.920
surname has anything to do with it? Yeah. Uh, you know, he's a public servant for almost 50 years
00:33:53.220
on a public servant salary. He's not a wealthy guy. You got to have a lot of money to have a $5
00:33:57.860
million error in your reporting to be off by that much. Uh, and you know, this has been going on for
00:34:04.080
years. He's a Congressman. He's a Senator on a Senator's salary for years. Yet somehow he bought
00:34:10.560
the DuPont mansion, the DuPont estate in Delaware and lived there. Nobody ever asked him how he afforded
00:34:15.860
the DuPont estate and then his beach house. He's been profiting. You know, most guys leave office
00:34:22.240
and then start to make millions. He figured out how to do it without leaving office by using his two
00:34:27.160
brothers and using his son as a bag man. Uh, and, and the media just looked the other way for decades
00:34:32.160
on this for decades. And they're still looking the other way. And people are accepting the idea that
00:34:38.780
this investigations could go four years and everybody's accepting bill Barr's statement that he
00:34:44.620
didn't want to intervene in the election of 2020, even though he knew Biden was lying through his
00:34:51.620
teeth and knew the state of that investigation. Uh, how do you rationalize that Mark? How can it be
00:34:59.260
rationalized? Uh, he says he didn't want to intervene. He changed the course of history for crying out
00:35:05.200
loud. Yeah. You know, you look back on history. Uh, it's cause he's a Democrat. What if Nixon had been a
00:35:11.060
Democrat, Woodward and Bernstein wouldn't never have done anything? They would have written a story
00:35:15.820
about how the Watergate didn't seem to have good locks on their doors. And, uh, why did that door
00:35:19.620
open? Uh, you know, I always ask about John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe. How come it never
00:35:24.180
got reported? Well, it was a different era. No, it's cause it was a Democrat. If that was Richard
00:35:28.800
Nixon, it would have been on the front page the next day. It's, it's all based on the partisan nonsense.
00:35:35.400
Which makes you wonder, you know, who was it who really killed JFK? Was it a Democrat? Uh, because
00:35:41.920
for crying out loud, we still don't really know. Was it one bullet, two bullets, three bullets and
00:35:47.660
who fired it for what direction this after years and years of so-called investigation, I don't know
00:35:53.960
how many books, how many documentaries, we still don't know the answer to who killed.
00:35:59.900
Oh, I think we do. I've studied this carefully. Definitely Oswald. Definitely the three bullets
00:36:05.000
in the, uh, had three of the greatest reporters standing there at the time, McNeil,
00:36:10.340
Lair, uh, Bob Schieffer standing right there. And from that moment, investigated every, you know,
00:36:15.260
McNeil said he jumped over the, uh, wall where he ran up the grassy knoll jumped over the wall.
00:36:20.340
He said, there was nobody there. Nobody. Why did he run there? Uh, cause he's people turned
00:36:26.180
and looked as if the shots came from there. Ah, and he was in the car behind. So he ran up
00:36:31.420
there and looked, and there was nobody there. Well, I mean, that just tells us that somebody
00:36:35.840
was faster than Robin McNeil, uh, in a sprint up a hill. Well, but he got, he got over the wall
00:36:41.860
and it was apparently an enormous open area with train tracks and there was nobody in sight.
00:36:46.220
Did he, did you ever notice those sewer, uh, sewers and the manhole covers?
00:36:52.480
Uh, Oh, this is what happens when you get up. Did you ever check that out? Did you ever look
00:36:58.600
at the drain on the side of the curb from which they think the rifle might've been pointed as they
00:37:04.580
came around the curve at, uh, delays square. I mean, it's a, it's a, it's a clear shot. Some people
00:37:11.400
say, uh, you know, I've actually stood in that. I've stood in that window. You ever gone up to that
00:37:15.920
window and look down? I can't say I've ever been up to that window. Oh, it's not a, it looks in
00:37:20.020
pictures. Like it's some long, it's very close. Yeah. It's not very far. And that window is very
00:37:25.360
low. And, uh, there's the famous 1968 CBS test where they put 10 people up there and gave them
00:37:31.140
Oswald's rifle and they were able to duplicate the shots. Yeah. Which way did the president's head
00:37:36.240
jerk back on the, on the shot there? Oh, here we go. Didn't it go backwards? I can't remember for
00:37:44.740
sure, but I think it went backwards. Suddenly I'm in an Oliver Stone movie now.
00:37:50.020
Well, you volunteered expertise. I just want to see where we go here.
00:37:55.740
Again, you got, uh, the great secret service agent, Jerry, um, um, what's his name was right
00:38:00.580
there looking at it. And, uh, he, it, it seemed like it came from a hit. He turned to look at that
00:38:06.480
window. Uh, McNeil is on the car right behind. He thought it came from there. And they do say if you
00:38:11.180
can shoot from behind and there's some kind of, uh, whatever that effect is that makes the head go
00:38:15.140
back. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh, you know, but we don't really know what happened to his brain because his
00:38:22.180
brain was missing when they got to the final, uh, autopsy in DC, right? Uh, Clint Hill, that was the
00:38:28.480
secret service agent. Well, that's the brain. It's once you get to DC, you're in the swamp. Who
00:38:31.900
knows what's going to happen? Things laptop isn't real things vanish. Well, you know, we're here now.
00:38:38.260
I, I, I really, I laugh at people who worry about the JFK conspiracy like I do. Uh, and so,
00:38:45.720
you know, you and I are good friends for a reason. We both are fascinated by it. Uh, and, uh, you think
00:38:51.860
we've got a conclusion and I think, uh, I'll keep an open mind about where it is. It's, uh, it's a,
00:38:58.320
it's a fascinating story and good fun to talk about just like it is. Uh, do you believe in UFOs?
00:39:04.260
Uh, not really. No. I mean, you know, well, that was Mark made careful because I had the,
00:39:11.220
the, the, uh, yeah, I saw what happened in the last flight. I'm going to be careful here.
00:39:15.880
But if you came, uh, 20,000 light years from another planet, why would you just go to like
00:39:20.660
Montana? When you come to New York or you'd see all those lights on in Los Angeles,
00:39:24.960
wouldn't you go there? Why do they always go the middle of nowhere? Well, I've got a Harvard
00:39:28.820
professor on my side this time. Uh, he is, he's, he's asking for an investigation into the crash
00:39:36.460
in the ocean, uh, of a, uh, what is a perceived, uh, asteroid meteor. You can get depending on how
00:39:46.540
big it is and everything else we'll find out, but it's cylindrical, uh, in shape, broad shape. I mean,
00:39:52.820
it's rough and it looks like a piece of stone, but it is arguably cylindrical. And the question is
00:40:00.240
why not? And they believe it came from, uh, uh, uh, outside the solar system. If so, it is the first
00:40:07.040
one that we will know of. And there's a question about it. Is it a probe? This professor says,
00:40:13.840
not me, is it a probe? Uh, was it a relay station of some sort or was it perhaps a vehicle?
00:40:22.820
Of some kind. There are other possibilities, but those are the three principles. And he wants an
00:40:28.060
investigation. He wants to use a magnet to pick it up off the ocean's floor. So what do you think?
00:40:33.980
I think if you've got that kind of technology that you can go to another solar system,
00:40:39.140
what the hell would you want to hear? What, what would be interesting to this earth? Uh,
00:40:44.400
again, you wouldn't go to the middle of nowhere. You wouldn't, if you're that sophisticated in your
00:40:48.460
technology, you're not going to crash in the ocean. Wait a minute. Can you imagine the sheer
00:40:52.100
delight for any extraterrestrial when he or she says, take me to your leader? And they show that
00:40:59.100
show him Joe Biden bouncing into another wall. I mean, it would be, I, that would just be a moment
00:41:05.660
where, you know, the poor extraterrestrials would say, you know, this is not worth it.
00:41:10.480
We're going home right now. Uh, well, if they did come here, I get, you know, obviously you'd go to,
00:41:16.580
you'd look down and you'd see New York city. You'd go eat every illegal alien ends up right in the
1.00
00:41:20.780
New York city or Los Angeles. Uh, these people have another solar system and end up in the ocean.
00:41:25.340
They, they, they wouldn't just come for a second and crash and more would happen if it was real.
00:41:30.720
Well, you know, you and I are going to have to travel up to Cambridge and talk to that Harvard
00:41:34.200
professor because he wants to spend some taxpayer money on it. And I think it's our duty to either
00:41:39.620
support him or prevent further waste of government money. I've always found it's a good rule. If
00:41:49.300
Our new Haven, uh, two really dangerous places. Uh, you know, think about it. How many of our judges
00:41:56.720
and our presidents have come from Harvard or Yale? It is, they ought to, you know, here's, I have a
00:42:03.800
a step towards solution on the rotten leadership that the country is experiencing right now.
00:42:10.440
Why don't we ban, ban Harvard, maybe the entire Ivy league, uh, Harvard, but certainly Harvard and
00:42:19.660
New Haven. And by the way, anytime a man claims to have been a professor at the university of
00:42:25.460
Pennsylvania, uh, uh, perhaps like Joe Biden did, we could ban that too. Penn would probably have to
0.93
00:42:32.220
be included. What do you think? Uh, yeah, we, I remember when Biden, uh, uh, the last appointment,
00:42:37.420
he said, now we have real diversity on the Supreme court. You got the 12, nine justices all from
00:42:42.640
Harvard and Yale. That's not diversity. If you took the top criminal lawyers in the country,
00:42:46.860
you'll notice they're all from Brooklyn college, uh, Hofstra, none of them are from Harvard
00:42:50.780
or the university of Texas, you know, one or the other, but, you know, it's been great fun talking
00:42:56.980
with you. I appreciate it so much, Mark, uh, you're dropping by and, uh, uh, uh, we always
00:43:02.000
give our guests the last word. So here you go. Well, I love this podcast. I listen
00:43:08.060
all the time. It's great stuff and keep it up. Well, thank you very much, Mark. And
00:43:13.020
you're a good friend, a great American, uh, an immense talent, uh, a broadcasting
00:43:18.480
legend and Mr. New York. Thanks so much. God bless Mark Simone, a great American
00:43:27.300
friend and friend tomorrow here will be our guest, John McLaughlin, great GOP strategist
00:43:33.640
and pollster. You'll have with him his new latest political poll to give us a penetrating
00:43:39.820
insight into the current state of the body politic in America. Please join us right here
00:43:45.680
