Summary

Iran's new plans include possibly sending drones to the state of California to retaliate against the USA for destroying its regime and infrastructure. The new leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, may have had his leg allegedly blown off. Oil is poised to continue its climb after more oil ships were destroyed last night. More news comes out about Jeffrey Epstein, and certain doctors were mentioned in the Epstein files, including more young girls and more injuries. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Gas prices have risen even as U.S. oil production is strong, because oil is a global commodity. California has a high gas tax that adds to the price of gas. Why does the government have to run the airports? Getting rid of state income tax could benefit many states.

0:00.0	now on the voice of new york it's the mark simone show on seven 10 w o r hey well it's thursday already
0:11.5	it's uh it's not the greatest day a little rainy it's gonna get colder yeah it's been a summer
0:17.9	like but it's going to get cold throughout the day it'll be down into the the 30s tonight and then 40s tomorrow and 50s over the weekend. But the winter is over. You're nine days away from spring. Spring begins in nine days. So a lot to get to today. There's a lot of Epstein fallout. A lot of people are suddenly leaving their jobs, their businesses over Epstein. We'll get to that coming up. CNN totally humiliated. We'll get to the Oscars. We'll get to, well, lots to talk about today. Now, the latest in Iran, the Straits of Hormuz is the big issue. Tankers trying to move through there. A couple got hit.
0:57.9	Now, this is going to be tough to straighten this out, but not that tough.
1:01.6	It'll take a week or so to get things going.
1:05.9	The problem is we've taken out the Iranian Navy, all 60 ships.
1:11.2	We didn't even think they had 60 ships, but we've taken out the entire Iranian Navy.
1:12.3	It's non-existent.
1:18.2	Then they had 16 mine-laying ships that could plant mines on the bottom of the water.
1:20.6	Those all 16 have been taken out.
1:21.6	They're gone.
1:25.4	Here's the problem now.
1:45.5	If they want to attack ships, what's left of the regime, they do it in two ways. Speedboats loaded with dynamite that can just come out of nowhere and drones. Drones are the hardest thing to defend against because we've taken out most of their missiles because missile requires a launcher. You can see the launcher and blow up all the launchers. A drone, you can't see. It could be hidden in a garage, hidden in a basement. You
1:50.7	bring it out of the garage. All of a sudden, there it is in the air, and it's very hard to stop.
1:55.8	So there are a lot of drones left, less and less every day. But that's the problem with the ships. Now, it's going to take
2:03.6	a while to figure this out. They'll have to take out more drones. The only good news with the
2:07.7	drones, you can see where they came from and take out those locations. Price of oil will
2:13.7	go up as a result. We're not that dependent on this raining oil coming for the Straits of Hormuz.
2:20.1	China is extremely dependent on it.
2:22.5	India almost totally dependent on it.
2:25.3	It's 20% of the world's oil.
2:27.0	And again, we got all the oil we need right here.
