Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Wow, you're listening to the Mark Simone Show on War Well, hey,
- 0:09Speaker 1: a week away from Thanksgiving. We got a lot to
- 0:11Speaker 1: get to this hour. I'm looking at my Instagram and
- 0:17Speaker 1: here's my friend Brooke Singman, who's a great Fox News reporter,
- 0:21Speaker 1: and she's going down to Washington for something. She's taken
- 0:25Speaker 1: the Amtrak. Look at this picture. I thought it was ai,
- 0:27Speaker 1: but it's real. Apparently she gets on amtraks. She got
- 0:30Speaker 1: the picture up and look who she's sitting next to,
- 0:34Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Just by coincidence, she gets on an Amtrak,
- 0:38Speaker 1: takes her seat, and there's Joe Biden, the former president.
- 0:43Speaker 1: You know, every former president has got lemos and SUVs,
- 0:48Speaker 1: and he's private jets and they're traveling all over the
- 0:51Speaker 1: place with a huge entourage. In detail, this is the
- 0:53Speaker 1: only former president who's been spotted numerous times just on
- 0:57Speaker 1: a regular seat on an airplane, take an amtrak. You know,
- 1:02Speaker 1: normally the reason you get all these trappings is the
- 1:04Speaker 1: ex president. Every billionaire is still your great friend. They'll
- 1:08Speaker 1: lend you a plane anytime you want to go anywhere.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Apparently Joe Biden has none of that. All the big
- 1:13Speaker 1: Democratic all these big billionaire donors. They're mostly Democrats. They've
- 1:17Speaker 1: all turned their back on Biden. If Obama wants to
- 1:21Speaker 1: go anywhere, they line up to hand them a private
- 1:24Speaker 1: jet to take them. They're honored to give them the
- 1:26Speaker 1: jet to take them. Joe Biden take the train. There
- 1:31Speaker 1: he is on the train on an Amtrak. Looks like
- 1:33Speaker 1: a very crowded car. It doesn't even have his own
- 1:36Speaker 1: little section or his own little row. Sitting next to
- 1:40Speaker 1: Brooks Sigman, who's a great reporter. But check out her Instagram.
- 1:45Speaker 1: It's a pretty funny picture. Hey, today is the Dick
- 1:48Speaker 1: Cheney funeral. In fact, as we speak, it's taking place.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Not that exciting. I mean, you know, his grandchildren are speaking.
- 1:58Speaker 1: It's not that I mean, he's a former vice president.
- 2:00Speaker 1: But it's not like the greatest speakers in the world
- 2:04Speaker 1: will be there. It's you know, this wacko daughter is
- 2:07Speaker 1: going to speak, His grandchildren will speak. But look at this,
- 2:10Speaker 1: I'm looking at the TV screens. Fox is not carrying it,
- 2:13Speaker 1: but MSNBC or whatever they're calling it now and CNN
- 2:18Speaker 1: are taking this live, the Dick Cheney funeral. They're acting
- 2:22Speaker 1: like this great head of state has passed away and
- 2:26Speaker 1: this very important funeral needs live coverage. This is the
- 2:29Speaker 1: Dick Cheney they hated. Nobody was hated more by these people,
- 2:33Speaker 1: these same networks than Dick Cheney. You remember, all they
- 2:36Speaker 1: did was yell and scream he's a war criminal, remember
- 2:40Speaker 1: Abu Gharab and waterboarding, and they wanted him on trial
- 2:46Speaker 1: in the Hague. Remember they made up a whole fake
- 2:48Speaker 1: Haliburton scandal about him. They called this guy every name.
- 2:53Speaker 1: When they used to call him Darth Vader, they used
- 2:55Speaker 1: to call him war criminal, nazi, Dick Cheney, he's the
- 2:59Speaker 1: most hated man in the world. But because he came
- 3:02Speaker 1: out so strongly against Donald Trump, because he attacked Donald Trump,
- 3:06Speaker 1: called him an existential threat all that. So now they
- 3:09Speaker 1: love Dick Cheney. They love Dick Cheney, and it's crazy.
- 3:13Speaker 1: What's your name, Liz Cheney, that crazy whack job daughter
- 3:17Speaker 1: of his. So they'll actually be speaking. George W. Bush
- 3:21Speaker 1: is going to speak. The former vice presidents are there,
- 3:25Speaker 1: Mike Pence is there, Biden is there as a former
- 3:28Speaker 1: president and as a Cheney of course was vice president.
- 3:32Speaker 1: So all the vice presidents show up. Now JD. Vance
- 3:36Speaker 1: is not there and President Trump is not there, but
- 3:39Speaker 1: they both point out they were not invited, and you
- 3:43Speaker 1: might think, well, they should go, But if they're so
- 3:46Speaker 1: hated by the Cheneys, if every Cheney has called them
- 3:50Speaker 1: Nazis and Hitler and the worst people on earth. Cheney
- 3:52Speaker 1: actually said that the greatest threat to him, Well obviously
- 3:55Speaker 1: wouldn't want him at the funeral, so be inappropriate for
- 3:58Speaker 1: them to go. But the funeral take place. Look at
- 4:00Speaker 1: this msn what it's called ms now, and it's just
- 4:05Speaker 1: endless live coverage of this boring, boring funeral. And they
- 4:10Speaker 1: wonder why Fox gets much bigger ratings that they're they're
- 4:13Speaker 1: continuing with normal programming. But it's the National Cathedral, Washington,
- 4:19Speaker 1: d C, CNN ms now. You know it's interesting. MSNBC
- 4:25Speaker 1: was forced to remove NBC from the name. NBC took
- 4:28Speaker 1: the name out it's now ms now, but CNBC, which
- 4:32Speaker 1: they spun off, is allowed to keep the name. They're
- 4:34Speaker 1: not embarrassed to have their NBC name in the CNBC name.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Interesting little point. If you like sushi. You know that
- 4:44Speaker 1: place in the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle, Uh,
- 4:49Speaker 1: it's called Masa Masa. That's like the number one highest
- 4:55Speaker 1: rated Michelin Star three Michelin Star Japanese in New York.
- 4:59Speaker 1: There's new place that open right across from Bryant Park.
- 5:02Speaker 1: It's on forty first Street. It's just got three Michelin Stars,
- 5:07Speaker 1: making it the number one sushi place in America. It's
- 5:12Speaker 1: only got a handful of seats and they only do
- 5:15Speaker 1: two seatings. Now, before you go rushing over there, we
- 5:21Speaker 1: all love sushi. But before you go rushing over there,
- 5:24Speaker 1: it's seven hundred and fifty dollars a person. They should
- 5:30Speaker 1: have a team of psychiatrists. Dude, just examine your head
- 5:34Speaker 1: before you go in there and pay seven hundred and
- 5:37Speaker 1: fifty dollars. But the Michelin reviewers say it's not just
- 5:42Speaker 1: a dining, it's a religious experience. It's unlike anything. Seven
- 5:47Speaker 1: hundred and fifty per head. Now that does not include
- 5:49Speaker 1: drinks and tax. So figure one thousand dollars a person,
- 5:54Speaker 1: which tops the other one, Maza, which was always the
- 5:56Speaker 1: highest rated. That's nine hundred of person. Well, actually that's
- 6:00Speaker 1: before drinks, and so that'll end up being twelve hundred
- 6:03Speaker 1: a person. Got you ever eat this place? Masa, it's
- 6:06Speaker 1: the other one there is per se. It's like forty
- 6:09Speaker 1: seven courses. It takes you like three and a half
- 6:12Speaker 1: hours to eat. There you about a half hour forty
- 6:17Speaker 1: minutes into it. You will want to commit suicide. You
- 6:20Speaker 1: will want to kill yourself. It's the most boring, awful dinner.
- 6:25Speaker 1: The food is mesmer. You can't believe what it looks like.
- 6:29Speaker 1: You don't know what the hell you're eating. If somebody
- 6:31Speaker 1: asked you what would you have, you can't even tell them.
- 6:34Speaker 1: It's the most complicated, ridiculous food in the world. I
- 6:37Speaker 1: went there once with a I better not mention his name,
- 6:42Speaker 1: a governor who a big donor has taken us. And
- 6:47Speaker 1: this is a kind of a blue collar all American governor,
- 6:50Speaker 1: and we're eating this crap, and we're on course like
- 6:53Speaker 1: number eleven. And I got to go to the men's
- 6:55Speaker 1: room and he said, where are you going? I said,
- 6:57Speaker 1: the men's room. He said, my security guys are out there.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Tell him to get me out of here. And I said, well,
- 7:03Speaker 1: how are they going to get you? He goes, just
- 7:04Speaker 1: tell him they'll get me out of here. So I
- 7:07Speaker 1: go to the men's room. I tell him he wants
- 7:09Speaker 1: to get out of here. So I go back and
- 7:11Speaker 1: I sit down. Five minutes later, the security guys come
- 7:13Speaker 1: running in. It's not a phone, it's like a big
- 7:15Speaker 1: walkie talkie thing, like a satellite phone. They go, Governor,
- 7:19Speaker 1: it's an emergency. It's an emergency. You must take this call.
- 7:21Speaker 1: And he takes some fake call and he goes, I
- 7:24Speaker 1: gotta go, I've got to go, and he runs out,
- 7:26Speaker 1: and as he's running, I go, you're not going to
- 7:28Speaker 1: take me with you. But I was stuck there for
- 7:30Speaker 1: this thing. It was painful, absolutely painful. So save yourself.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Nine hundred dollars a person, seven hundred dollars a person.
- 7:39Speaker 1: It has three Michelin stars, but only these European Michelin
- 7:42Speaker 1: star reviewers would know what the hell they were eating,
- 7:45Speaker 1: So just forget about it. Kathy Hokeel making a big
- 7:49Speaker 1: announcement that shoplifting is down thirteen percent in New York City.
- 7:55Speaker 1: Now I don't understand. Nobody understands the story. She's taking
- 7:58Speaker 1: credit if it is indeed, well, yeah, actually NYPD data
- 8:03Speaker 1: shows shoplifting down thirteen point five percent. Of course, it's
- 8:07Speaker 1: up ten thousand percent since the crime wave that Cuomo created.
- 8:11Speaker 1: You know, Cuomo started this no bail, no jail. Then
- 8:14Speaker 1: you got the crazy Alvin Bragg who will not prosecute shoplifters.
- 8:19Speaker 1: So went up like thousands of percent. So to be
- 8:21Speaker 1: down thirteen point five percents not a big help, but
- 8:25Speaker 1: it's a little it's a start. But that's NYPD data. Now, well,
- 8:29Speaker 1: how could Hokel claim credit for this. She's claiming that
- 8:34Speaker 1: she put together a task force of one hundred officers
- 8:38Speaker 1: state law enforcement to crack down on shoplifting. I'm in
- 8:43Speaker 1: drugstores all day long. I've never seen state troopers in there.
- 8:46Speaker 1: I've never seen any of this. I don't know of
- 8:49Speaker 1: anybody being arrested in New York by a state trooper.
- 8:52Speaker 1: But she's claiming credit for this. I would think it's
- 8:56Speaker 1: more the NYPD finally getting something done about it. You
- 9:00Speaker 1: still have you know, you go to a drug store,
- 9:04Speaker 1: everything's locked up. Shampoo used to be, the razor blades
- 9:07Speaker 1: were locked up. Now it's aspirin, anything and everything. And
- 9:10Speaker 1: it says ring the bell for the manager to open
- 9:13Speaker 1: the and you ring and ring, and it's going to
- 9:15Speaker 1: have to wait ten minutes. It's the best thing that
- 9:18Speaker 1: ever happened for Amazon, so much easier. You just go
- 9:22Speaker 1: on Amazon order whatever you want. It's there the next day. Hey,
- 9:25Speaker 1: we're talking about Epstein. The Democrats are going to have
- 9:29Speaker 1: huge problems with Epstein. Stuff is going to come out
- 9:32Speaker 1: about the close ties of all these Democrats to Epstein
- 9:36Speaker 1: right up until the end, right up until the moment
- 9:38Speaker 1: he killed himself. He was a big, big donor to Democrats.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Now here's another thing that's going to come out. You
- 9:44Speaker 1: know when people say the Clintons are going to have
- 9:47Speaker 1: a big problem, well they really are, not, just for
- 9:51Speaker 1: their close association with Epstein, but it's going to come
- 9:56Speaker 1: out that Epstein was one of the fat and the
- 10:01Speaker 1: financier of the Clinton Foundation. You know, Hillary and Bill
- 10:04Speaker 1: Clinton always brag about this Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative. Well,
- 10:09Speaker 1: way till everybody finds out it was Epstein that financed
- 10:12Speaker 1: it and got it going. In fact, in two thousand
- 10:15Speaker 1: and seven, when Epstein was on trial, his attorneys in
- 10:19Speaker 1: court presented this evidence that he founded the Clinton Global Initiative,
- 10:25Speaker 1: that he founded the Clinton Foundation. In fact, it was
- 10:28Speaker 1: that letter, that proof that he was the guy behind
- 10:31Speaker 1: it that helped him get a good plead deal. That's
- 10:34Speaker 1: how you get a good deal from a judge. You
- 10:36Speaker 1: show that despite your crime, you've done important work and
- 10:39Speaker 1: community service. So they actually presented in court full documentation
- 10:45Speaker 1: that Epstein was behind the Clinton Foundation and financed its beginnings.
- 10:50Speaker 1: So the Clinton's are going to have to explain that,
- 10:54Speaker 1: not to mention all the visits to Epstein Island. Hillary's
- 10:58Speaker 1: going to have to explain take all the money from Epstein.
- 11:01Speaker 1: This is the other thing that'll come out. It turns
- 11:03Speaker 1: out ninety two percent of Epstein's donations were two Democrats.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer took Epstein money. Hillary Clinton took lots of
- 11:11Speaker 1: Epstein money. Bill Clinton and took more than money from him.
- 11:15Speaker 1: All these things can come out. Katie Kurk is going
- 11:17Speaker 1: to have to explain why she was at Epstein's house
- 11:20Speaker 1: having dinner with him. She's fumbled out a few excuses
- 11:24Speaker 1: when asked about it. George Stephanopolis is going to have
- 11:27Speaker 1: to explain what he was doing at Epstein's house having
- 11:31Speaker 1: dinner with him. He was asked a couple times in
- 11:34Speaker 1: the past. He said, well, I didn't know who he was.
- 11:38Speaker 1: This is after he was convicted, this is after he
- 11:41Speaker 1: went to prison. He's a registered sex defender. I knew
- 11:45Speaker 1: who he was. I saw it in the papers. Do
- 11:47Speaker 1: you remember reading about this billionaire in Florida who got
- 11:50Speaker 1: arrested for underage you know, miners given him massages and
- 11:57Speaker 1: being recruited, and we all read about it. The guy
- 11:59Speaker 1: was victed, the guy was in prisoned for a year,
- 12:02Speaker 1: the guy was in house arrest, the guys that registered
- 12:05Speaker 1: sex offender, we all knew about it, was in the news.
- 12:07Speaker 1: George Stephanoppolis and Katie Kurk are anchor people from major
- 12:11Speaker 1: news organizations, major networks. How do they claim they didn't
- 12:15Speaker 1: know who the guy was? And when was the last
- 12:17Speaker 1: time you went to somebody's house for dinner and didn't
- 12:20Speaker 1: know who he was. Even if somebody invited you and
- 12:23Speaker 1: you didn't know who he was, you'd ask, well, who
- 12:25Speaker 1: is this guy? You might even google the guy. Let's
- 12:27Speaker 1: say you're a major news anchor. You don't think you
- 12:30Speaker 1: could find out who the guy was. So to claiming
- 12:32Speaker 1: did no idea who this convicted felon was that had
- 12:36Speaker 1: been in all the news just makes these two sound
- 12:39Speaker 1: like idiots. Stefanoppolis, Katie Kurk, big Epstein connection. Hey this
- 12:45Speaker 1: a new Ken Burns documentary PBS on the American Revolution.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Well that sounds interesting. Accept it's PBS accept it's ken Burns.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Here's one reviewer who tried to watch it and had
- 12:58Speaker 1: to turn it off. He said, less than three minutes
- 13:01Speaker 1: into the ken Burns documentary on the American Revolution, all
- 13:06Speaker 1: I got was white people are bad. Native Americans had
- 13:09Speaker 1: a century old democracy before we arrived and ruined it.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Benjamin Franklin copied his whole American blueprint from Native Americans.
- 13:19Speaker 1: And now this guy just turned it off and couldn't
- 13:21Speaker 1: watch it anymore. And PBS wonders, how did they Why
- 13:25Speaker 1: did they get their financing cut? Because they're worse than
- 13:28Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimble. It's the most slanted, distorted news organization in
- 13:33Speaker 1: the world. No wonder they got their their funding cut.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey, you know, he was canceled with all that
- 13:42Speaker 1: sex stuff. I think most of it's been cleared up.
- 13:46Speaker 1: I think most of the charges he's gotten out of
- 13:49Speaker 1: he's appealed. But he says he's tough to get work.
- 13:54Speaker 1: He has to go all over the place looking for work.
- 13:57Speaker 1: He said his financial situation is very bad. You know,
- 13:59Speaker 1: he probably spent millions of legal fees and all of that,
- 14:03Speaker 1: not to mention not working for six seven years or
- 14:06Speaker 1: whatever it is. But he said he's now living in hotels, airbnbs.
- 14:09Speaker 1: He has to just go wherever he can find work.
- 14:12Speaker 1: But even if you get all the charges dropped, even
- 14:17Speaker 1: if you try to come back, you can't look at
- 14:21Speaker 1: him the same anymore. What was the great show he
- 14:23Speaker 1: was on where he played Frank Underwood blanking out? What
- 14:26Speaker 1: do you know? The show? I just can't watch it anymore.
- 14:29Speaker 1: It's just not the same. Hey, Trump Media, that's the company,
- 14:32Speaker 1: the public company Donald Trump and the family have ticker
- 14:36Speaker 1: symbol as DJT. A lot of the money's in bitcoin, crypto,
- 14:42Speaker 1: Trump Media and Technology Group, big, big, big part of
- 14:45Speaker 1: it is invested in crypto. Well, you know, bitcoin took
- 14:47Speaker 1: a huge drop, Crypto took a huge drop. The Trump
- 14:51Speaker 1: stock lost five billion this year, five billion, nearly seventy
- 14:58Speaker 1: percent in value, thirty four percent in just the last month.
- 15:02Speaker 1: But it's mostly the huge plunge in crypto, in bitcoin.
- 15:08Speaker 1: But you know, every time we see those huge plunges
- 15:10Speaker 1: in bitcoin, everybody goes aha, See I told you it's
- 15:13Speaker 1: no good. But then the next thing you know, it
- 15:16Speaker 1: goes way up in the next few years, and you
- 15:18Speaker 1: wish you had bought the dip. So I'm not telling
- 15:20Speaker 1: you what to do. I don't know, I have no idea. Hey,
- 15:23Speaker 1: Jimmy fail in a few minutes. We'll take some calls next.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
