The Great America Show - BUMBLING “BIG GUY” RUNS CRIME FAMILY

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and it's great to have you with us today. Thanks for being here.

00:00:05.380 The United States is tracking yet another mystery balloon, China, China, China,

00:00:11.020 although the Department of Defense denies that it's China. They did confirm, however,

00:00:16.100 that it's following the path of another high-altitude balloon. The unmanned balloon,

00:00:21.400 detected off the coast of Hawaii on April 28th, is floating at about 36,000 feet, and as usual,

00:00:28.520 we, the concerned American citizens, well, we're not going to know much until the Biden regime decides

00:00:35.760 it's our turn. We'll see how they react this time, the Biden administration, that is,

00:00:42.040 and perhaps this time they won't let it fly over dozens of our military bases that house

00:00:47.200 some of our most critical war machines and technology. And speaking of the Biden administration,

00:00:53.300 as we often do here, the troubles for Secretary of State Blinken have just begun. Senators Chuck

00:01:00.420 Grassley and Ron Johnson are demanding that Secretary Blinken produce all records related to Hunter Biden

00:01:07.400 after Blinken lied to Congress. Blinken colluding, it appears, with those 51 crooked intel chiefs who

00:01:15.620 signed that open letter saying the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. That just days

00:01:23.220 before the 2020 presidential election. The Secretary of State sat down with Fox News Benjamin Hall this

00:01:30.380 week and refused to answer Hall's question when asked about that Hunter Biden laptop. Here he is.

00:01:37.360 I want to ask about the letter that was written concerning Hunter Biden's laptop that said it was,

00:01:41.900 you know, Russian disinformation. Can you explain what your role was in that and if you incentivized

00:01:47.180 it? Well, first, one of the great benefits of this job is that I don't do politics and don't engage

00:01:54.020 in it. But with regard to that letter, I didn't, it wasn't my idea, didn't ask for it, didn't solicit it.

00:02:02.020 And I think the testimony that the former deputy director of the CIA, Mike Morrell, put forward

00:02:09.500 confirms that. Not engaging in politics, folks. You heard that correctly. As I said, it seems

00:02:16.680 Secretary Blinken's troubles have just begun. With that, let's talk some politics. And joining

00:02:22.920 us now, the one and only Mr. New York, the great, great, great Mark Simone. Mark, great to have you

00:02:29.460 with us here on The Great America Show. I counted three greats there. Wow. Thanks. I used to get just

00:02:36.180 one. I actually had you up to four, but I must have gotten tired in the middle of it. Great to have

00:02:43.400 you here, my friend. I love it. We have got so much to talk about, both serious and just simply

00:02:52.300 cosmically absurd. Let's start with the announcement on video by the President of the United States. At

00:03:01.020 6 a.m., he releases the video announcing he does indeed intend to and will therefore be running for

00:03:09.520 President of the United States again. His re-election campaign is officially underway. I know you had to

00:03:17.220 be awestruck and dumbfounded at the decision. Your thoughts? I was amazed they didn't fire everybody

00:03:23.800 that put that video together. I mean, it starts with horror film music, literally like the soundtrack of

00:03:29.860 The Exorcist or something, that gloomy horror movie music. And then, you know, I'm an audio

00:03:37.500 expert. I went over that thing. There must be 50, 60 edits in there. Obviously, he couldn't get through

00:03:42.940 a whole sentence. They're all pieced together from different takes. And at some points, you could

00:03:48.360 hear it. Go listen again. They drown him out with the music. He must have sounded so wheezy.

00:03:52.560 And the content was ridiculous. You know, I don't know why he made the theme freedom, 0.92

00:03:58.340 personal freedom. This guy wants to tell you what light bulb you can use, what kind of oven you can

00:04:03.160 have, what car you can drive, what thermostat setting you're allowed to. I mean, and he's talking

00:04:07.860 about personal freedom, the nerve of this guy. And then he's good. Well, he also did this, you know,

00:04:14.080 mega extremists. They do that all the time. These Democrats, they create some boogeyman. You're

00:04:19.420 supposed to be afraid of it. Last time it was the Tea Party. And then there was the neocons and

00:04:24.220 the same old stuff. I don't know if it's going to work this time.

00:04:28.860 Well, I don't either. But I'm one of those people who, it works for me, that neocon stuff. I don't 0.89

00:04:33.540 like neocons. I mean, I don't like what they've got to peddle, which is, you know, the destruction

00:04:39.660 of most of Earth, just to take out a few commies at will. Where do we go from here? I mean, 0.98

00:04:47.660 we've got Biden coming back. And I love Nikki Haley. She's saying, Mike, he releases this

00:04:55.020 commercial saying, Joe Biden has failed. And I'm screaming at the monitor. No, he hasn't failed.

00:05:02.480 He's doing everything he meant to. He's destroying the family. He got rid of the border. He's bringing 0.99

00:05:07.200 in millions and millions of illegal immigrants to destroy the middle class and our working men and 1.00

00:05:11.920 women. Yeah, he is the goddess with troops lined up, ready to go toe to toe with the Ruskies 1.00

00:05:17.680 in nuclear combat. I mean, he's doing exactly what he wanted. He rules by fiat executive order.

00:05:25.180 The Congress can't keep up with him. They don't even know what he's doing, let alone approve of any of

00:05:31.400 it. Yeah. Nikki Haley is like one of those ruthless real estate agents. You can't trust 0.73

00:05:36.840 him. He's trying to sell you anything and everything. And anybody that's ever worked

00:05:41.660 with her, ask the Trump administration, a treacherous snake. It looks good. Sounds good. 0.98

00:05:46.640 Makes a nice impression. But I wouldn't trust her for a second. And congratulations. I think

00:05:52.140 she got up to 1% already. That's pretty good for her. Well, it's a 1%. I don't think they're

00:05:57.420 going to double anytime soon. But who knows? This is a crazy political environment.

00:06:03.780 And if you don't believe me, just look at the House committees investigating, the Judiciary

00:06:11.120 Committee, the Oversight Committee, the Weaponization Committee, Congressman Jim

00:06:16.240 Jordan, Congressman James Comer. I mean, they're going after the Biden crime family. Everyone is

00:06:22.080 using the expression now for the Bidens, crime family. And I really think that's a little unfair,

00:06:28.500 just because 12 Bidens have been collecting some big out of every influence peddling scheme that

00:06:37.800 the Bidens have carried out over the last 15 years. What do you think?

00:06:42.340 Even Bernie Madoff didn't have 12 people involved in the scam. That's a lot of people, 12. I think

00:06:48.580 you have to, but seriously, you've got to give Biden a lot of credit. You know, it looks like a

00:06:52.020 bumbling guy bumping into walls. But that is the greatest influence peddling scheme anybody has

00:06:57.940 ever put together. He's taken in probably $100 million. You know, a lot of these guys,

00:07:03.100 Paul Ryan, they leave office, they try to make some money peddling influence, and they make a few

00:07:07.780 million. This guy did it without leaving office, used his family members, and he's made probably more

00:07:13.020 money than anybody doing this. So it's the one thing he was good at. You know, those middle

00:07:18.020 Atlantic politicians, Spiro Agnew, Biden, they really knew how to rake it in on the side there

00:07:24.880 while in office. Well, especially all the better. If you're going to get a little influence,

00:07:31.060 you got to have some influence, right? Yeah. I have to give James Comer, the chairman of the

00:07:35.940 House Oversight Committee, great credit, not only for the great job he's doing, but he came up with

00:07:40.760 what I think was the best line of the week, when he said, it seems every Biden family member

00:07:46.100 was in on the corrupt influence peddling. So many Bidens that no one was left for a Christmas

00:07:53.080 card. You know, Comer's showing me a lot of depth and wit here, and I like all of it.

00:08:02.960 Yeah. Listen, there's no, I mean, there's no logical explanation why in the middle of communist

00:08:09.440 China, they would just start sending money to Biden's cousin, his mother-in-law, his niece. It

00:08:13.880 doesn't make any sense. There's no other possible explanation. It is a crime family.

00:08:20.220 It is a crime family. And part of the crime, frankly, is that with now what looks to be at

00:08:26.700 least six years of investigation, grand jury involvement, going through Biden, Hunter Biden's

00:08:36.060 tax receipts, his tax statements, his income, whatever it may be, and they still are just

00:08:44.460 now getting ready to meet, apparently, with Justice Department attorneys and the, and by

00:08:51.680 the way, I can't even imagine what the Biden family's legal bills are, but they're going

00:08:56.880 to have a meeting with the Justice Department to figure out which of the misdemeanors that

00:09:02.640 are, that are clearly laid forth in his laptop. They're going to prosecute with immense energy

00:09:11.100 and vigor. In other words, it's going to be another nothing burger for the Biden family

00:09:18.440 in terms of being held accountable. What do you think?

00:09:20.940 I don't think there are legal bills or anything. The whole investigation is rigged. Nothing will

00:09:25.380 ever happen. They could use any lawyer they want. And what does the lawyer have to do? Nothing ever

00:09:30.080 comes to trial. I guarantee you, OJ will find the real killers before anybody will indict Hunter

00:09:35.480 Biden. It's not going to happen. It's amazing how, and where's the New York Times? Well,

00:09:42.780 I was going to say, where's the media on this? You know, Watergate, they were all over the place,

00:09:47.420 climbing up balconies and climbing through windows. With this, they don't even want to look. They don't

00:09:51.720 even want to know. They should, the media should be investigating this story. Forget the Justice

00:09:56.420 Department. Yeah. And you're right. Democrats get free lawyers. They get the best lawyers. They get

00:10:03.660 big lawyers. They get big law lawyers. And lawfare, that is the arming, the weaponization of law,

00:10:12.160 is all on the side of Marxist Dems. The more Marxists and the more Dem, the more lawyers you've got to call

00:10:20.560 upon to defend yourself or to attack those poor sitting duck Republicans. It is, it's not a fair

00:10:28.220 fight, is it? No. It's so slanted. You know, look at Woodward and Bernstein going nuts trying to nail

00:10:35.040 Richard Nixon. Now I look back and I wonder if there'd been a Democrat that had won and done

00:10:39.940 Watergate, Woodward and Bernstein would have done nothing. Absolutely nothing. You know, they keep

00:10:43.480 telling you with Marilyn Monroe, JFK, well, it was a different era. Yeah, he was a Democrat. If that had

00:10:48.520 been Nixon, they would have exposed it that night. The double standard is, I mean, it's the hypocrisy 0.73

00:10:54.940 Democrats are famous for. It's just awful. Yeah. Carl and Bob would have been down there in the 0.99

00:11:00.040 underground parking garage waiting for Deep Throne. And, you know, they'd have to take, you know,

00:11:06.780 shifts because nobody would show up. Felt would be missing in action. And I get a kick out of what

00:11:14.000 we're learning about, uh, just to digress for a moment about Watergate. You know, here's Felt,

00:11:18.880 the deputy director of the FBI feeding these guys. You know, how different is that than having the FBI

00:11:26.220 represented in the National Security Council, uh, uh, and, uh, the CIA sitting there in the White

00:11:34.500 House. How different is that? I mean, you've got, you've got agencies, the deep state feeding stuff

00:11:41.340 to the media. Uh, it's the same old, same old, isn't it? I mean, there's a, there's a template and

00:11:47.620 they're going to make it work by golly, uh, all of these bureaucrats, uh, and the, and the Marxist

00:11:52.660 Dems. Yeah. Well, I'm trying to remember Watergate, what did Nixon do? He, he talked about having the FBI

00:11:59.240 block an investigation. Yes, he did. He just talked about it. In this case, we know of the FBI

00:12:04.400 blocking a million investigations, tampering with Twitter. Uh, look at, look at these 51

00:12:09.360 intelligence chiefs and chiefs of intelligence who sign a fake letter, which in a, in a possible

00:12:15.040 criminal case, you look back now and when they needed a fake, uh, WMD appraisal, uh, and now you

00:12:21.080 realize how easy it was to get from these 51 guys. No surprise now. Well, we're, we're going to take

00:12:26.640 up those 51 so-called Intel veterans and the ease with which they left their conscience and their

00:12:33.820 duty, uh, behind them as they went after a politician running for president of the United

00:12:40.700 States, uh, and got, uh, a former vice president elected, uh, as we continue. And we are talking with

00:12:48.740 Mr. New York, the King of New York radio, none other than Mark Simone. Stay with us. We're going to

00:12:54.740 have a quick message now from our sponsors. Please stay with us. We're back now talking with

00:13:02.080 Mr. New York, Mark Simone, Mark, uh, the radio show. I know you're still King of the King of New

00:13:08.000 York. Uh, it's just a great to watch your success, uh, throughout. And I should add, uh, you're a legend

00:13:15.180 as well. Uh, and it's a delight to have you with us here on the great America show. Let's go to those

00:13:20.500 51 Intel veterans who signed that, uh, that infamous letter, uh, that was intended to shield

00:13:29.800 Joe Biden in the second debate from the, uh, assault by president Donald Trump seeking reelection

00:13:37.880 and they lied through their teeth, didn't they? Yeah. You know, you look at that WMD and you said, 0.89

00:13:44.160 well, all those intelligence guys, they wouldn't lie. Now you look at what they did with this, uh,

00:13:48.240 Anthony Blinken calls him. I need you to sign a letter about this laptop. Not one of them said,

00:13:53.900 well, can we see it? Can we examine the evidence? Can we look in whatever it was? They just signed

00:13:58.720 it a total complete lie that it was Russian disinformation at the very end. There is some

00:14:04.060 little fine print where it says we have no actual knowledge of this and we have no evidence and we,

00:14:08.400 but that was buried at the end. Uh, the fact that these guys would lie in this, I'm talking about

00:14:13.280 Clapper, Brennan, uh, Hayden, those sort of swamp snakes. I think you once said on the,

00:14:19.140 it was a great line. If you have high definition TV, you can see the slime dripping off them.

00:14:24.600 Well, Mike, they're horrible people.

00:14:27.760 They are horrible people and everybody should know it, but what they did was bring everything 0.96

00:14:32.740 they were taught to use against the foreign enemies of the United States. They brought it home, 0.64

00:14:37.300 said, why travel when we've got, uh, so many targets here right around, uh, right around us

00:14:42.940 in the nation's capital, Mike morale, they, who became the acting CIA director actually saying out

00:14:50.440 loud without so much as a blush. Why did you do it? He said, he said, because I wanted to get Biden

00:14:59.320 elected. It was that simple, that straightforward and that infuriating. And obviously he felt

00:15:07.300 no shame whatsoever that he and his 50 buddies who signed that letter were changing history and

00:15:16.640 intervening in a U S presidential election. Yeah. And then you, you look back at that Iraq war and

00:15:22.840 Bush kept saying, well, I got all these intelligence chiefs that tell me there's WM now you got to look

00:15:27.660 at that in a different light. And, uh, I, if I had to guess at the time, how many would lie and sign

00:15:33.680 this fake letter, I would have guessed three or four, you might be able to get all 51. Didn't

00:15:37.880 hesitate, sign the letter right away. Uh, if you need more proof of a deep state or a swamp, then

00:15:43.180 there's something wrong with you. That's I mean, that right there proves what goes on. And how long

00:15:48.200 did it take for the, uh, for the New York times and the Washington post to acknowledge that

00:15:54.260 irrespective of that letter, that Hunter Biden, a laptop was not about disinformation. It was in fact,

00:16:02.420 real and contains evidence of Lord knows how many crimes, uh, too many to count. Uh, and by the way,

00:16:12.400 John, John Brennan, the head of the CIA under Obama is signing off on this, whether it was a wink and a

00:16:20.680 nod or whether it was a ink and, uh, and a piece of paper, he was signing off on all of this collusion

00:16:28.460 amongst these veterans, the campaign for Joe Biden, and they managed to do what no one could have

00:16:36.000 imagined. And that is provide Joe Biden, a shield against Donald Trump, uh, and his accusations,

00:16:42.840 uh, against of corruption against Biden. It's, it's a terrible moment. They changed history. They

00:16:50.340 cheated. And it's this straightforward, ladies and gentlemen, this is fact, this is not

00:16:54.840 hyperbole. This isn't conjecture. They cheated Donald Trump out of the presidency. His re-election

00:17:03.880 was assured had it not happened. What do you think, Mark?

00:17:08.340 Well, the letter, these 51 guys who were saying it's a Russian disinformation, they had all this

00:17:13.840 argument. What's the proof that it was Hunter's laptop? How about the fact that Hunter walked into

00:17:18.140 the shop and handed it to the guy himself personally? So obviously it was his laptop, signed the receipt

00:17:23.220 for it. Uh, in fact, Hunter has, uh, uh, recently sued the guy for releasing the pictures of it by him

00:17:30.500 suing. He's confirming it's his laptop. I mean, he walked in and handed it to the guy. It's his,

00:17:36.220 it's his laptop. And the debate, uh, that was where the election was really fixed. The debate

00:17:42.160 moderators, when Biden brought up that phony letter and Trump was about to question this,

00:17:46.960 they cut him off immediately. I'm sorry, we have to go talk about climate change now. And they

00:17:50.680 wouldn't let him finish. So that was the rigging of the election right there.

00:17:55.400 Yeah. That, and, uh, and the FBI had had the, uh, the Hunter Biden, the laptop from hell in his

00:18:02.340 possession for just about a year. At that point, Bill Barr knew what was in it. Bill Barr,

00:18:07.720 president Trump's attorney general decided, even though he knew that Biden was lying in that debate.

00:18:15.280 Now think about this. This is fact folks. There's no conjecture, no, nothing. This is just fact.

00:18:22.700 Barr said he chose not to intervene, knowing that Biden was lying about the laptop that had been an

00:18:28.220 FBI possession. He decided not to intervene because such intervention would be an influence on the

00:18:34.860 outcome of the election. And now let's see, would it also influence the outcome of the election? If he

00:18:40.460 let Biden get away with a lie and those 51 Intel veterans get away with that letter accusing,

00:18:47.440 uh, the laptop of being charging that it was Russian disinformation, you can't make William

00:18:55.060 Barr up. You know that? Well, yeah, I look at Brennan and Clapper as just evil. You know,

00:19:00.760 these are also guys, they're ex CIA heads. They probably got defense contracts. They're trying

00:19:05.060 to sell to somebody in the government. So they'll do whatever they have to. Barr,

00:19:08.840 I think is not totally evil. He's just a swamp guy, uh, who wants to make sure he keeps getting

00:19:14.080 invited to all the right dinner parties and can always get a job. So, uh, I think he just saw

00:19:19.720 maybe the wind blowing towards Biden and decided to help him out, uh, by, um, bar, just more

00:19:26.360 frightened than evil. I think more frightened, more frightened. What is more frightening than an evil

00:19:32.300 man who can project himself as just confused and going with the, with the, with the fortunes of fate,

00:19:40.240 uh, and, uh, whichever way the wind is blowing. Uh, there's another part to it though, Mark,

00:19:46.120 because he's also the guy who sent FBI agents over to Twitter, to Facebook, to social media,

00:19:54.340 legacy media, legacy media with this story of disinformation and buried the New York post

00:20:00.140 reporting on October 14th. That revealed all that Hunter had done in that laptop, uh, and killed

00:20:08.120 that story as well. So while he was not wanting to intervene in the election, he sent FBI agents over

00:20:14.520 to suppress conservative voices throughout social media, throughout legacy media, and to, uh,

00:20:22.400 to just black out the New York post breaking story. That was, I think that was the Pulitzer prize

00:20:29.340 winning story of the election year, but, but bar really this man, he was the fulcrum point at which

00:20:38.800 history was changed in 2020. Yeah. All right. A little evil. I guess he's evil. Uh, why I didn't,

00:20:47.020 I didn't say evil. I just said there's more to the man than I think we're giving him credit

00:20:51.020 or blame. Uh, it's just the swamp, the deep state, you know, all my life, they would always

00:20:56.500 point to some great figure in the public side and say, why can't we get the great CEOs to come into

00:21:01.980 politics? You know, they used to talk about Lee Iacocca, uh, Jack Welch. Hey, there was a time

00:21:07.020 where they, uh, they were talking about you should run and, uh, uh, great, great minds from our,

00:21:12.060 those were desperate times. Yeah. But I remember Iacocca considering it, Jack Welch saying,

00:21:18.120 well, I don't, they wanted somebody from the outside and we finally got somebody was Donald

00:21:22.340 Trump. And now we see what they do. If somebody from the outside ever came in and saw what's under

00:21:26.940 the hood there, how dirty and disgusting their game is, they will do anything to wipe the guy 0.62

00:21:31.920 out. They'll put them in jail if they have to, to get rid of them. No one from the private sector, 0.92

00:21:36.420 I think is coming into government ever again on that level. Well, he's, he's not a, this is a

00:21:42.820 politician. I'm about to talk about the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, who has already been

00:21:48.560 caricatured, uh, labeled, uh, if you will, by president, uh, uh, Trump, which means that he's

00:21:55.300 just been neutralized like Jeb Bush was for, uh, what did he call him? Mr. Low Energy. Uh, he calls

00:22:02.320 DeSantis the sanctimonious and de sanctus, uh, and Mr. White, uh, moots, uh, whenever he goes out in 0.95

00:22:10.440 the rain, uh, he's, he's labeled him, but here's the interesting, uh, to me, uh, tension that's

00:22:17.800 arisen. And that is between the Disney company now suing, uh, the governor, uh, because he has made

00:22:27.380 things difficult for Disney when they expected to have, well, I guess a lifetime sinecure, uh, on,

00:22:34.260 uh, on the Disney world and all of the environs around it. Uh, what do you make of that, uh,

00:22:41.000 contest? Because it's, it, it, it does look like a death match. Yeah. DeSantis is a very talented guy.

00:22:47.540 He's a great governor. I don't think he's ready to run for president. He lacks the campaign skills.

00:22:52.160 He's way too early. He's only 42 or whatever, wait 10, eight years and run then, or at least four

00:22:59.020 years. And this is a good example. He, uh, goes to war with Disney. It's not a good look for any

00:23:05.060 Republican to be fighting, uh, business and corporations and job creators in your own state.

00:23:10.760 And if you really do have a legitimate beef with them, go meet with them, negotiate with them. I think

00:23:15.840 what DeSantis is making clear is he has no skill as a negotiator and his timing is off. You know,

00:23:21.300 it was one thing to fight with that, uh, idiot CEO Disney had, but now it's Bob Iger who's back. 0.99

00:23:26.380 He shouldn't be fighting with him. He should be negotiating with him because Iger can out 0.99

00:23:30.320 chess game you publicly. If that's what you're trying to do. We're talking with the great Mark

00:23:35.380 Simone. That's another great, by the way, Mark, uh, and let's keep track. The great, great Mark

00:23:41.680 Simone. We'll be right back in a minute, uh, after these quick words from our great sponsor.

00:23:47.380 We're back with New York radio host, Mark Simone, and, uh, we are delighted Mark that you're spending

00:23:55.140 so much time with us here today. We thank you greatly and always, always, uh, enjoy our talks.

00:24:00.800 Thanks so much, Mark. Uh, let, let's turn to that, uh, negotiating skill, the ability to, uh,

00:24:07.720 understand how to put together a deal. You know, I'm, I would hope that the governor would avail

00:24:13.140 himself of the immense talent that is available, uh, right there on the, on the gold coast of

00:24:21.200 Florida, right there at Mar-a-Lago, the man who authored the art of the deal, the man who

00:24:27.140 could teach him about negotiating, bring him along, uh, in the skills necessary to be a successful

00:24:33.320 politician. I'm referring of course, to the 45th president of the United States and the 47th

00:24:38.900 president. I'm sure, uh, Donald J. Trump, what do you think? Uh, again, it's, uh, DeSantis and his

00:24:45.200 timing. He could maybe be a good president, but not now he should be working with Donald Trump.

00:24:50.180 Uh, he should be behind him right now, learn from him. Uh, I think Trump gets real, uh, reelected

00:24:55.360 and four years from now, DeSantis would be perfect to take over. But, uh, you're, you're right. It was,

00:25:00.380 it was, DeSantis had no shot at governor until Trump jumped in and rescued him. Uh, and you're right.

00:25:06.920 He didn't think of it, but he should call on Donald Trump to go meet with Disney and settle this

00:25:11.560 thing. Um, you know, the problem is Trump would probably settle it in about three hours and that

00:25:15.480 would make DeSantis look silly, but DeSantis fighting with a corporation in public. It's over

00:25:20.500 and over and over, uh, just makes him look weaker and weaker. It does because he keeps failing to

00:25:26.720 follow through, but the issues that he's taken on, it was Disney who attacked him on a culture issue.

00:25:33.960 And that is, uh, the, uh, on the gay issue, uh, the, uh, trans issue, uh, they blew away, 0.95

00:25:41.960 what the $300 million of, uh, production, uh, sunk, uh, investment cost in two films that

00:25:48.560 were absolutely destroyed because they decided to make characters gender, uh, if you will,

00:25:54.600 gender fluid. They changed the gender, uh, of, uh, the characters and the movies crashed. 0.99

00:26:00.320 Uh, at the same time, they injected themselves, uh, into, uh, Florida politics on the, what became,

00:26:08.700 they stamped it, uh, they labeled it as don't say gay. It's a parental rights piece of legislation.

00:26:14.660 Uh, and it was a horrible mistake on, uh, both I, in my judgment on the part of the LGBTQ, uh,

00:26:22.800 I, uh, uh, community, uh, as well as Disney. Uh, what are your thoughts about corporations and

00:26:30.000 their political activism? Really stupid. I mean, uh, Budweiser proved that beyond any shadow of a 1.00

00:26:35.900 doubt lost billions in value with their nonsense. But again, with the Disney thing, that was the old

00:26:41.700 CEO who, uh, everybody agreed it was a horrible mistake. And that's the reason they threw him out.

00:26:47.080 And, uh, Iger had to come out of retirement and say, save the company. So you can negotiate with

00:26:51.120 Iger. Republicans just have to crystallize this issue, uh, saying, uh, rather than argue about each

00:26:57.600 book, just say, how about we have a law that if you're an adult, you're not allowed to talk to an

00:27:02.480 eight-year-old about sex. Uh, oh, we already do have a law about that. You used to get arrested for 0.91

00:27:07.300 doing that. And it should still be the same way. Uh, you just below a certain age, you can't discuss

00:27:12.260 sex at any time, anywhere with children. It should always be that way. And don't say gay

00:27:17.920 is a really dumb idea for the, uh, LGBTQ community to have gone after that law, uh, when they don't 1.00

00:27:25.640 want parents rights or on the wrong side of the argument to begin with. Uh, it was very stupid, 1.00

00:27:31.420 uh, with a, uh, a group that normally is very clever, uh, in its, uh, uh, political shading, 1.00

00:27:39.800 if you will, of nearly every issue. Uh, but on this one, a disaster. And now Iger, who you, 0.73

00:27:46.240 whose virtues you were extolling is following up in the same thing. He's, he's escalated the war

00:27:52.880 against, uh, the, the government of Florida and the Ron DeSantis. I, I mean, I don't see this

00:28:00.480 being a happy ending for the Disney company because they really think they are quite something.

00:28:05.900 They may be quite something, but they're not all that, uh, corporations, there are limits on what

00:28:11.220 they can do with their political activism. And I think they've gone well beyond, uh, the conventional,

00:28:17.300 conventional boundaries, don't you? Yeah. But, uh, and I'm not saying, uh, Iger is an angel and he

00:28:23.200 looks like a cold blooded killer to me, but those are the kinds of guys you can negotiate with.

00:28:27.020 Uh, you know, you can go make a deal with them, just lay off the woke stuff. And I'm sure Iger 1.00

00:28:30.620 would like to do that. He knows it's got a problem, uh, business wise, but again, you gotta

00:28:35.800 be a great, he should be in a, an office with Iger working this out, get it settled. That would

00:28:41.660 make him look much more heroic than this public battle does. Yeah. I, well, I think one of them

00:28:48.560 should get into a G six 50 and head toward the other, see their corporate headquarters of the state's 0.99

00:28:54.660 capital and, and get to work on it because this is stupid and there's no profit in it, 0.98

00:29:00.980 irrespective of what Iger thinks and irrespective of what DeSantis thinks, unless he prevails, 0.99

00:29:06.460 if he wins, then there's great profit in it. Uh, but there is no way for Iger to win in my judgment,

00:29:12.580 uh, the best he could get would be, uh, the status quo, uh, uh, you know, anti, uh, which is,

00:29:19.100 I think, uh, unlikely at best. Let, let's go to a couple of things, uh, about Trump and that is

00:29:26.800 his, uh, his, uh, his unending, uh, challenges to threats, uh, from the left, uh, whether it be in,

00:29:34.500 uh, uh, in Florida, the federal, uh, prosecutors, whether it be in Georgia with the Fulton County

00:29:40.840 district attorney, whether it be the DA and Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, uh, or, uh, the state attorney

00:29:48.280 general, uh, Letitia James. I mean, the man is beset with, uh, this madness and there seems to be

00:29:56.260 no, no way to say, to call a halt in the judicial system to what is pure, uh, harassment and political

00:30:04.940 persecution. Yeah. Yeah. If you talk to the great legal minds and scholars and they'll tell you each

00:30:10.660 one of these cases, uh, totally reversible on appeal, uh, the Alvin Bragg case, there's nothing

00:30:16.600 there. If you got into a, out of Manhattan into a real court, uh, it would get a reverse, but you

00:30:22.380 got to lose the first case to be able to appeal it. And that could take a year or two. Same thing

00:30:27.260 with Georgia. There's no way on earth that would survive a bunch of appeals, but they'll drag this

00:30:32.040 on through the election. Uh, and same thing with this, you got this crazy civil lawsuit right now

00:30:37.440 going on in, uh, in Manhattan where the judge has made all kinds of ridiculous rulings. Uh, Alan

00:30:42.760 Dershowitz yesterday saying this is clearly reversible on appeal, but again, you got to go

00:30:48.440 lose first before you can appeal. And they'll, they'll just keep delaying, uh, the documents

00:30:53.140 case to, or as he calls it, the boxes case, uh, is just the silliest thing in the world. We've

00:30:58.840 watched what happens with the Biden administration. Uh, they got this kid who's a rookie national

00:31:04.180 guardsman. He gets access to all the documents. Uh, the Biden's leave them all over their houses,

00:31:09.340 garages off. I mean, frankly, uh, every classified document in Washington should be sent to Mar-a-Lago.

00:31:14.780 Trump seems to have a pretty secure storage room there with guards and cameras that all our documents

00:31:19.680 seem safer there than with the Biden's. He just needs a little help on the security to keep

00:31:24.600 unwanted visitors from, uh, uh, entering the, the grounds. He needs to work on that part of the

00:31:29.600 security. Uh, what was it? 30 FBI agents showed up, uh, to, uh, to unlawfully, uh, uh, search, uh,

00:31:38.120 his premises and sees his documents. Uh, all of this is still, all of it's floating in the air.

00:31:45.700 All of this comes up. You never hear any more about it. Where are the documents? Who's got the

00:31:50.020 documents? What is, where are we in court? What are the charges? Why are we waiting till July to hear

00:31:55.480 from the DA in Georgia about whether or not she's going to indict president Trump? What, what is magic

00:32:03.340 about July? Why not have an answer? Uh, I'll give you the answer in my opinion. And that is,

00:32:10.300 this is all a coordinated effort by the Marxist Dems to attack this president. And as you were

00:32:15.620 suggesting, move all of it into 2024 and make it a problem for the president. So it'll do a couple of

00:32:23.140 things, uh, keep, seize the headlines. And secondly, create real delays for him and his, uh, and barriers

00:32:30.560 to his campaign, uh, to become the 47th president of the United States.

00:32:34.840 Yeah. You know, the first debate Republican debate scheduled for August. So I think that's

00:32:38.680 why she picked the end of July to make the announcement. So it screws him up in the first

00:32:43.420 debate in August. Well, uh, it's, I think you're right. It's, uh, it's going to be quite something

00:32:50.220 to watch. And, uh, I'm going to, as always give our guests the last word here on the great America

00:32:56.200 show, uh, our friend, Mark Simone, uh, Mark, if you will, your concluding thoughts on what it's

00:33:02.660 like to be, uh, uh, a legend living in, uh, 2023 America. It is, uh, these are interesting times

00:33:11.640 if ever there were, right? Well, thank God for these Democrats. Cause if you're a talk show host,

00:33:16.760 it gives you the greatest stuff and, uh, most amazing soap opera stories to talk about every day.

00:33:21.460 If it weren't for them, what would we be talking about? Uh, fiscal policy or something that,

00:33:25.720 uh, it may, they may destroy the country, but they're helping my show in the process.

00:33:30.740 Well, and, and I, and we do benefit here on the great America show. I'll have to admit

00:33:35.500 by some small margin, uh, from the same, uh, uh, from the same gifts that you are receiving.

00:33:42.560 Uh, and we are delighted that you shared your time and your thoughts and your great, uh, immense

00:33:47.940 talent with us here today on the great America show. Mark, uh,
